We continue in our church history lessons with The Restoration Movement. Following the Reformation Period, it was discovered that many denominations did not go far enough in reforming Church government and church worship. They did not call things by Bible names and held practices that were church traditions rather than Biblical instructions. Out of…

We are beginning a series on Church History. Why was there a Reformation? What went wrong with the church? We will be covering about about 2000 years of church history. Did the church stray from the biblical pattern or worship, government and practices of the New Testament Church? We will be looking at the apostacy or straying of the church from th…

We begin a new lesson in the book of Exodus. Join us for an in depth study in Exodus as the Hebrew children become slaves in Egypt and find their hope in the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Moses is saved from destruction by God. But everything must be done in God's timing and in God's way. Our adversities in life may become our blessing from God…

Are women to cover their heads in church? Did Jesus cover His head when praying? Should we wear skullcaps or yamakas? Is the Bible outdated? Is it a command or a tradition? What shall we do? This is a series of lessons by Mike Mazzolongo taken from 1 Corinthians and is taught by Mark Black, the Adult Minister from First Christian Church of Malvern.…

The Apostle Paul understands that true freedom is not doing everything you have a right to do. He makes this revealed principle supreme in all he does. In realizing that there is something more important than rights, Paul explains that he has become a slave to something else. Join us as we reveal this hidden jewel. This journey through 1 Corinthian…

There are moral matters which are very clear. They make it very easy to see what is right and what is wrong. Then there are other matters that aren't so clear as being right or wrong. What do we do? Is it a sin or is it not a sin? We like things in black and white. Sometime discretion is needed. Join us for this study in a License to Love. This is …

This lesson is taken from Mike Mazzolongo's 1 Corinthians for Beginners entitled Keeping the Lock in Wedlock. This is recorded in a Bible study setting with questions and responses. Should a person ever divorce? Did Jesus teach on this subject? Why would Moses allow divorce? What are the grounds for divorce? Should Christians even marry? Paul discu…

Final Exhortations - 1 Peter 5

Don't Think It Strange... Rejoice!

In this lesson we will conclude our series with a study of Prophecy In The New Testament. Who was the prophet that called a nation to repentance for the coming of the Anointed One - The Messiah? Who was the great prophet that would come - the one that Moses spoke about? Who were the prophets in the gospels and the book of Acts? Does the New testame…

Paul lived in a world that was immoral and pagan. He was called to minister to the gentiles who were composed of a culture of sexually immoral people. Out of this troubled church, God was remaking men and women. "For such were some of you," Paul states. This new church was fragile and weak because there were a group of people who were causing disse…

There's a lot of questions people have about prayer. Why do I need to pray if God already knows everything and knows what I want? Why does God always say no to me? How should I pray? Should I kneel or stand or sit to pray? Is God too busy to hear my prayers? Does God even care? Come and join us for this lesson on the importance of prayer. We will e…

Good Stewards of God's Grace

Have you ever wondered why churches do not grow? We are seeing an upheaval of our Christian values not only in the churches but in our society. What's wrong? What's going on? We need to look at the troubles of one church in Corinth to come up with some good answers. As always God's Word holds the answers and the truth. We need to take these princip…

The things that are important in life are the things Satan tries to keep from us. The Word of God is a life-changing and life saving revelation from God.

Suffering for Doing Good 1 Peter 3:12-22

With a culture that is very different than the Jewish culture, Christianity is facing a new environment and a new viewpoint from those who are in the church. Christianity is in danger of becoming a philosophy rather than the life changing power that transforms people. The Corinthian church stands divided with wrong priorities. Paul addresses these …

Even though we have been social distancing and quarantining, the world has not been quiet. In fact it has been very loud. Sometimes life gets that way. Many times I just long for some peace and quiet. If you are a person taking care of some little ones, you may understand that desire for solitude and silence. As Christians it is important for us to…

A Christian Response to Evil and Reviling

Wow! This minor Prophet has volumes to say about the Messiah-Jesus. He speaks of Christ's betrayal and rejection, triumphal entry into Jerusalem, The Good Shepherd, His forgiveness and mercy and any more topics. In fact, Zechariah talks much more about the Messiah than many prophets. He also ministered through his encouraging messages. Join us for …

It seems to me worship is one of the most controversial topic we could have chosen for a Disciple of Jesus to study. But maybe once we understand what worship is, we will come away with a more mature attitude. Our definition needs to be tweaked. What is designed to bring us together has separated us. - Maybe because our focus has been wrong. Join u…

Have a tendency to get your priorities wrong? So did the those who returned from the Babylonian exile. Things weren't going very well. God didn't seem to be blessing. So God sends a prophet by the name of Haggai to remind the people of their priorities. God wants to bless them but they needed a basic reminder. God is supreme and must be first in th…
