The lesson on June 27th discussed the concept of expounding and the scripture passages that used the term "expounded" One scripture reading was found in Acts 28:23 KJV "And when they had appointed him a day, there came many to him into his lodging; to whom he expounded and testified the kingdom of God, persuading them concerning Jesus, both out of the law of Moses, and out of the prophets, from morning till evening." Notice how long it took? The Apostle Paul expounded all day long. Today, the generations that exist have certain attributes th
The lesson on June 20, 2010 celebrated Father's Day and opened with the scripture reading from Prov 4:1-7 KJV "1 Hear, ye children, the instruction of a father, and attend to know understanding. 2 For I give you good doctrine, forsake ye not my law. 3 For I was my father's son, tender and only beloved in the sight of my mother. 4 He taught me also, and said unto me, Let thine heart retain my words: keep my commandments, and live. 5 Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not; neither decline from the words of my mouth.
The lesson on June 13, 2010 continued the study "From the Beginning" and opened with the scripture reading in Ps 105:1-7 KJV "1 O give thanks unto the Lord; call upon his name: make known his deeds among the people. 2 Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him: talk ye of all his wondrous works. 3 Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the Lord. 4 Seek the Lord, and his strength: seek his face evermore. 5 Remember his marvellous works that he hath done; his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth; 6 O ye seed of Abraham his servant, ye children of Jacob his chosen.
Part 4 of the From the Beginning study finished Psalms 104 on June 6, 2010. The scipture reading for this lesson is Psalms KJV 104:24-35 "24 O Lord, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches. 25 So is this great and wide sea, wherein are things creeping innumerable, both small and great beasts. 26 There go the ships: there is that leviathan, whom thou hast made to play therein. 27 These wait all upon thee; that thou mayest give them their meat in due season.
The Twelve Apostles .The lesson on June 28, 2009 studied the twelve apostles that Jesus choose to his disciples during his earthly ministry to the Jews. We find in Matthew 10:2-7 “Now the names of the twelve apostles are these; The first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother; Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas , and Matthew the publican; James the son of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, whose surname was Thaddaeus; Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.
Father’s Day. The lesson on June 21, 2009 was given on Father’s Day and the scripture reading was in Matthew 7:21-29. The only time you like to get older is when you are a kid. If you less than ten years old, you are so excited to get older so you think in fractions. When asked how old you are, you answer 4 and 1/2. You’re never 36 and 1/2. When you get into your teens, they can’t hold you back... When asked how old you are, you answer “I’m going to be sixteen.” Then the great day of you life occurs when you turn 21. Even the word sounds like a ceremony. Then you turn 30.
The lesson on June 14 started the practical section of Romans. Romans can be divided into three sections. As we have learned, chapters 1-8 teaches on doctrinal issues, chapters 9-11 are dispensational, and chapters 12-16 focus on practical living. Romans 12:3-8 was the scripture reading as the lesson started teaching the practical aspect from Romans. When you become a Christian, life isn’t a bowl full of cherries. You don’t win the lottery, you don’t make every green light, you don’t close every deal, your loved ones don’t get healed, and you may go broke.
The lesson on June 7, 2009 picks up the Romans Study with part 13 and reads the scripture in Romans 11:25-32. God does have a purpose and He has always had one throughout the ages. When we go through Romans we find that God was dealing with Israel and they were classified the apple of His eye, His people. Paul writes that in Romans 11:1-2b “I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.
1There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: 2 The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him. 3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. 4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born? 5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
