In this lesson, Born of Water and Spirit, we explore the profound teaching of Jesus concerning spiritual rebirth and the essential role of the Holy Spirit in salvation. As part of the God the Holy Spirit theme, this study examines what it means to be “born of water and of the Spirit” and why this divine transformation is necessary to enter the kingdom of God. Through a careful study of Scripture, we consider the Holy Spirit’s work in revealing truth, convicting hearts, and guiding believers into obedient faith. Join us as we open God’s Word to better understand the Spirit’s role in God’s plan for redemption and the new life found in Christ.

In this episode, we examine how God the Holy Spirit speaks to us through His Word. When we open God's Word with honest and careful study, we find that Scripture does not leave us to wonder whether God has communicated with man — it declares plainly that the Spirit has spoken, and that what He has spoken endures.

The apostle Paul writes in 1 Timothy 4:1 (KJV), "Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils." This direct word from God's Word reminds us that the Spirit has not been silent — He has spoken expressly, and what He has spoken carries the full weight and authority of God Himself.

When we commit ourselves to what the Bible actually says about the Spirit speaking, we find that Scripture is sufficient to guide us through every false teaching and every departure from the faith — anchoring us to the voice of the Spirit who has already said everything we need to hear — strengthening our confidence in God's Word as our reliable and authoritative guide.

In this episode, we examine how the Bible tells us of the despair of the non-Christian. When we open God's Word with honest and careful study, we find that Scripture does not soften or obscure the condition of those who live and die outside of Christ — but speaks to it plainly, out of a love that desires none to perish.

The apostle Paul writes in Ephesians 2:12 (KJV), "That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world." This sobering description from God's Word paints a clear picture of what life without Christ truly is — not merely incomplete, but without hope and without God.

In this lesson, we explore how God’s Word reveals the majesty, power, and character of the God of heaven. In a world filled with confusion, false ideas, and competing views about who God is, the Bible stands as the only trustworthy source for truly knowing our Creator. This lesson examines the nature of God, His eternal authority, His love and justice, and His desire for a relationship with mankind. Join us as we open the Scriptures and discover how the Bible reveals the greatness of the God of heaven and calls us to know, trust, and faithfully serve Him.

In this episode, we examine how the Bible enables us to confront prejudice. When we open God's Word with honest and careful study, we find that Scripture cuts directly against every form of partiality and prejudice that man has constructed, declaring a standard of equal worth and dignity that originates with God Himself.

The apostle James writes in James 2:9 (KJV), "But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors." This straightforward word from God's Word leaves no room for prejudice to find a comfortable place among those who claim to follow Christ — making clear that partiality is not a cultural issue but a sin to be confronted and put away.

When we commit ourselves to what the Bible actually says about prejudice, we find that Scripture is sufficient to expose and correct every attitude that elevates one person above another for the wrong reasons — calling us instead to the love and impartiality that God has always required — strengthening our confidence in God's Word as our reliable and authoritative guide.

In this episode, we examine how the Bible enables us to confront false ideas about Christians in denominations. When we open God's Word with honest and careful study, we find that Scripture presents a picture of the church that stands in striking contrast to the divided religious landscape that surrounds us today.

The apostle Paul writes in Ephesians 4:4-5 (KJV), "There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; One Lord, one faith, one baptism." This clear declaration from God's Word reminds us that the unity Christ established was never intended to be divided into the countless denominations that men have created — and that the Bible itself is sufficient to expose that division for what it is.

When we commit ourselves to what the Bible actually says about the church, we find that Scripture is sufficient to confront every false idea that denominational has introduced — calling us back to the one body, the one faith, and the one Lord that God's Word has always proclaimed — strengthening our confidence in Scripture as our reliable and authoritative guide.

In this lesson, we examine how God’s Word equips believers to confront the destructive influence of drug usage with truth, wisdom, and compassion. In a culture that often normalizes substance abuse and promotes escape through harmful behaviors, the Bible calls us to sobriety, self-control, and a life devoted to honoring God in both body and spirit. This lesson explores the spiritual, moral, and practical consequences of drug usage while emphasizing the hope, healing, and strength found in Christ. Join us as we turn to the Scriptures for guidance on overcoming temptation, standing for truth, and encouraging others toward a life transformed by the power of God’s Word.

In this lesson from the Give Me the Bible series, we explore how God’s Word reveals the only true way of salvation. In a world filled with conflicting religious teachings and human traditions, the Bible stands as the clear and trustworthy guide to redemption through Jesus Christ. This lesson examines the biblical plan of salvation, the necessity of obedient faith, and the hope found in following God’s revealed will. Join us as we open the Scriptures and discover the life-changing message of salvation that God has provided for all mankind.

In this lesson, we examine how a steadfast commitment to God’s Word equips believers to confront false ideas about the eldership with clarity and confidence. In a time when human traditions, personal preferences, and cultural influences often reshape biblical leadership, Scripture provides the only reliable standard for understanding the role, qualifications, and responsibilities of elders. This lesson highlights the importance of returning to the Bible as our sole authority, helping us discern truth from error and uphold God’s design for leadership in the church. With a focus on both conviction and humility, we are reminded that standing for truth is not about winning arguments, but about honoring God and strengthening His people through faithful adherence to His Word.

In this episode, we examine how the Bible tells us of the joy of the Christian life. When we open God's Word with honest and careful study, we find that Scripture presents a joy that is not dependent on circumstances but rooted in something far greater and far more lasting than anything this world can offer.

The apostle Paul writes in Philippians 4:4 (KJV), "Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice." This compelling call from God's Word reminds us that the joy of the Christian life is not a feeling we manufacture but a gift we receive — one that flows directly from our relationship with the Lord and our confidence in His promises.

When we commit ourselves to what the Bible actually says about joy, we find that Scripture is sufficient to lift our hearts above the weight of this world and fill us with a contentment and gladness that only the Christian life can know — strengthening our confidence in God's Word as our reliable and authoritative guide.

In this episode, we examine how the Bible enables us to know there is a God. When we open God's Word with honest and careful study, we find that Scripture does not argue for the existence of God as though it were in question — it declares it, from the very first word to the last.

The apostle Paul writes in Romans 1:20 (KJV), "For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse." This sobering declaration from God's Word reminds us that the evidence for God is not hidden — it is written into creation itself for all to see.

When we commit ourselves to what the Bible actually says about the existence of God, we find that Scripture is sufficient to answer the doubts and challenges of a world that has chosen to suppress what God has made plain — strengthening our confidence in God's Word as our reliable and authoritative guide.

In this episode, we examine how the Bible enables us to confront fornication. When we open God's Word with honest and careful study, we find that Scripture addresses this sin directly and without apology, standing in sharp contrast to a culture that has increasingly normalized what God has clearly condemned.

The apostle Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 6:18 (KJV), "Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body." This direct command from God's Word leaves no room for compromise, reminding us that the standard for sexual purity is not set by culture but by God Himself.

When we commit ourselves to what the Bible actually says about fornication, we find that Scripture is sufficient to confront this sin clearly and equip us to stand firm in a world that has largely abandoned God's design — strengthening our confidence in God's Word as our reliable and authoritative guide.

In this lesson, we examine how a deep commitment to God’s Word equips believers to approach the difficult and emotional subject of abortion with clarity, conviction, and compassion. Rather than being guided by cultural pressures or personal opinion, the Scriptures provide a firm foundation for understanding the value of human life, the responsibility we bear toward it, and the spirit in which we address sensitive issues. This lesson emphasizes speaking truth in love, upholding the sanctity of life, and offering hope through God’s grace. By turning to the Bible as our ultimate authority, we are strengthened to stand for what is right while extending mercy and understanding to those in need.

In this episode, we examine how the Bible’s inspiration is shown by its archaeological accuracy. When we open God’s Word with honest and careful study, we find that the discoveries of archaeology have time and again confirmed what Scripture has always declared to be true.

The apostle Peter writes in 2 Peter 1:21 (KJV), “For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.” This reminder that Scripture originates with God Himself is precisely what we would expect to find confirmed when the spade of the archaeologist meets the ground — and confirmed it has been.

When we commit ourselves to what the Bible actually says, we find that every archaeological discovery that touches Scripture only deepens our confidence that God’s Word is not the invention of man but the inspired record of a God who was there. That confidence strengthens our trust in Scripture as our reliable and authoritative guide.

In this lesson, we explore how God’s Word equips believers to recognize and confront immodesty with clarity and conviction. Rather than conforming to shifting cultural standards, the Bible provides a timeless guide for purity, humility, and holiness in both attitude and appearance. By grounding ourselves in Scripture, we are strengthened to uphold what is right and encourage others to do the same, reflecting a life that honors God in every way.

In this episode, we examine how the Bible enables us to confront false ideas about alcohol usage. When we open God's Word with honest and careful study, cultural myths and personal justifications cannot stand against the truth that Scripture provides.

The apostle Paul reminds us in 2 Timothy 2:15 (KJV):

"Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth."

This call to diligent study is exactly what equips us to address and correct the misconceptions that have surrounded this topic. Whether it is the pressure of social norms or the misunderstanding of Christian liberty, a deep dive into the Word offers the clarity we need.

When we commit ourselves to what the Bible actually says, we find that God's Word is sufficient to answer every false claim and strengthen our confidence in Scripture as our reliable and authoritative guide for living a life of sobriety and discernment.

In this episode, we examine how the Bible tells us of the hope in heaven. When we open God's Word with honest and careful study, we find that Scripture does not leave us without assurance — but instead anchors our hope in the promises of God Himself.

The apostle Paul writes in Romans 8:18 (KJV), "For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us." This powerful reminder from God's Word lifts our eyes beyond the trials of this life and fixes them on the eternal hope that awaits those who are faithful.

When we commit ourselves to what the Bible actually says about heaven, we find that Scripture is sufficient to sustain us through every hardship — filling our hearts with a hope that the world cannot offer and cannot take away — strengthening our confidence in God's Word as our reliable and authoritative guide.

In this episode, we examine how the Bible enables us to confront false ideas about baptism. When we open God's Word with honest and careful study, we find that Scripture speaks clearly on this subject, leaving little room for the confusion and contradiction that so many false ideas have introduced.

The apostle Peter declares in Acts 2:38 (KJV), "Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost." This straightforward command from God's Word establishes both the purpose and the necessity of baptism in a way that false ideas simply cannot overturn.

When we commit ourselves to what the Bible actually says about baptism, we find that Scripture is sufficient to address every misconception and strengthen our confidence in God's Word as our reliable and authoritative guide.

In this episode, we examine how the Bible enables us to confront gambling. When we open God's Word with honest and careful study, we find that Scripture speaks directly to the attitudes and desires that drive this growing issue in our world today.

The apostle Paul writes in 1 Timothy 6:10 (KJV), "For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows." This sobering warning from Scripture cuts to the very heart of what gambling pursues and what it ultimately produces.

When we commit ourselves to what the Bible actually says, we find that God's Word is sufficient to confront gambling for what it is — and to equip us to stand firm in a culture that increasingly accepts it — strengthening our confidence in Scripture as our reliable and authoritative guide.

In this episode, we examine how the Bible tells us how to worship acceptably. When we open God's Word with honest and careful study, we find that God has not left the matter of worship to our own preferences or traditions.

The apostle John records in John 4:24 (KJV), "God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth." This clear command from Jesus Himself establishes that acceptable worship is not defined by man but by God, and that definition is found in His Word.

When we commit ourselves to what the Bible actually says about worship, we find that Scripture is sufficient to guide us — leaving no room for additions or alterations of our own making — and strengthening our confidence in God's Word as our reliable and authoritative guide.

In this episode, we examine how the Bible enables us to confront false ideas about women translators. When we open God's Word with honest and careful study, false ideas cannot stand against the truth that Scripture provides.

The apostle Paul reminds us in 2 Timothy 2:15 (KJV), "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." This call to diligent study is exactly what equips us to address and correct the misconceptions that have surrounded this topic.

When we commit ourselves to what the Bible actually says, we find that God's Word is sufficient to answer every false claim and strengthen our confidence in Scripture as our reliable and authoritative guide.

In this lesson, we examine how the prophetic accuracy of Scripture demonstrates its divine inspiration. The Bible contains prophecies written centuries before the events they describe, yet those same events are later recorded as fulfilled in the New Testament.

For example, Isaiah 53:7 (KJV) foretells, “He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth…” This prophecy is clearly seen fulfilled in Acts 8:32–35 (KJV) when the Ethiopian eunuch reads this very passage from Isaiah, and Philip begins at that scripture to preach unto him Jesus.

This powerful connection between prophecy and fulfillment is not an isolated case. Throughout the Scriptures, we find many Old Testament prophecies that are later fulfilled in the New Testament. Such accuracy strengthens our confidence that the Bible is truly inspired by God and stands as our reliable and authoritative guide.

In this lesson, we examine how the authority and clarity of God’s Word equips Christians to confront the errors of premillennialism. Rather than relying on speculative interpretations or popular religious theories, the Bible provides a consistent and complete picture of Christ’s kingdom, His reign, and the fulfillment of God’s promises. By carefully studying the Scriptures, we see that Christ’s kingdom is already established and that God’s plan has not failed. This lesson encourages listeners to trust the Bible as the final authority, to handle it accurately, and to lovingly use it to teach the truth and refute doctrinal error.

In this sobering lesson, we examine why God’s Word must be our guide because it plainly reveals the horrors of hell. The Bible does not hide the reality of eternal punishment, but lovingly warns of the consequences of rejecting God’s will. Through the testimony of Scripture, we see the seriousness of sin, the justice of God, and the urgency of obedience to the gospel. This lesson challenges listeners to take the warnings of the Bible seriously, to understand what is truly at stake, and to let the truth of God’s Word move them to faithful submission before it is too late.

In this lesson from, we focus on the all-sufficiency of Scripture and why God’s Word is fully able to equip us for every spiritual need. Rather than looking to human wisdom, traditions, or modern innovations to guide faith and practice, this study emphasizes the Bible as complete, authoritative, and lacking nothing. Listeners are challenged to trust the Scriptures as God’s final revelation, to respect its power to instruct, correct, and mature the believer, and to rely on it alone as the standard for doctrine and godly living.

In this lesson, we explore how the authority of Scripture equips believers to confront modernism with confidence, clarity, and faithfulness. Rather than allowing changing culture, human reasoning, or popular opinion to redefine truth, this study emphasizes returning to God’s Word as the final and sufficient standard. The lesson challenges listeners to recognize the dangers of modernism, to discern truth from error, and to uphold biblical doctrine with conviction and love, trusting that God’s Word remains unchanging and fully adequate for guiding belief and practice today.

In this lesson, we examine how the authority of Scripture equips believers to address homosexuality with truth, clarity, and compassion. Rather than relying on culture, emotion, or personal opinion, this study emphasizes going directly to God’s Word to understand His design, His standards, and His call to repentance and holiness for all people. The lesson encourages faithful, loving conversations that uphold biblical teaching while pointing every soul to the hope of obedience, transformation, and salvation found in Christ.

In this, we explore how the inspired Word of God demonstrates its divine origin through remarkable scientific accuracy. By examining examples where Scripture aligns with facts unknown at the time of writing, this study highlights the Bible’s reliability and divine wisdom. Listeners are encouraged to see the harmony between God’s Word and the natural world, strengthening faith in the Bible as the ultimate authority.

In this lesson, we examine how the inspired Word of God equips us to confront the A.D. 70 doctrine. By carefully comparing Scripture with Scripture, this study highlights the Bible’s teaching on the nature of Christ’s return, the resurrection, and the final judgment. Rather than relying on speculative interpretations or historical assumptions, the lesson calls listeners back to the clear and consistent testimony of God’s Word as the final authority. This study encourages a deeper confidence in biblical truth and a firm commitment to what the Scriptures actually teach about the fulfillment of God’s promises.

In this lesson, we examine how the inspired Word of God equips us to confront the philosophy of humanism. Rather than placing ultimate trust in human wisdom, reason, or self, this study points us back to Scripture as the final authority for truth, morality, and purpose. By contrasting human-centered thinking with God’s revealed will, this lesson encourages listeners to uphold biblical truth, recognize the limitations of human reasoning, and stand firmly upon God’s Word in a culture that increasingly exalts man over the Creator.

In this lesson, we focus on how the Scriptures reveal the beauty, purpose, and divine origin of the church of our Lord. Rather than viewing the church through human traditions or denominational ideas, this study turns to God’s inspired Word to show what the church is, how it was established, and why it matters. By examining the Bible’s teaching on Christ’s body, its mission, and its blessings, this lesson encourages listeners to appreciate the wonderful church Jesus built and to seek unity and faithfulness according to God’s revealed will.

In this lesson, we examine how the scriptures equip us to confront the theory of evolution with confidence and clarity. Rather than relying on human speculation, this study points us back to the inspired Word of God as the ultimate authority on our origins and purpose. By exploring what the Bible teaches about creation, design, and God’s power, this lesson encourages listeners to trust the Creator’s revealed truth and to stand firm in faith when faced with modern theories that challenge it.

In this episode, Because It Enables Me to Confront False Ideas About Marriage, Divorce, and Remarriage, we turn to the authority of Scripture to address one of the most sensitive and often misunderstood subjects in our culture. Rather than relying on popular opinion or modern trends, this lesson calls us back to God’s revealed will, examining what the Bible plainly teaches about marriage as a sacred covenant, the seriousness of divorce, and the conditions under which remarriage is addressed in Scripture.

By carefully considering key passages such as Matthew 19:4–6, where Jesus affirms that what God has joined together man must not put asunder, and Matthew 19:9, which addresses the exception concerning fornication, this study seeks to bring clarity where confusion often reigns. Listeners are encouraged to approach the topic with humility, compassion, and a firm commitment to truth, allowing God’s Word to correct false ideas and guide faithful obedience.

This episode challenges us to let the Bible speak for itself, enabling us to confront error with love while upholding the holiness of marriage and the authority of Christ in all matters of faith and practice.

In this lesson, Because Its Inspiration Is Shown by Its Unity, we explore the remarkable unity of Scripture as clear evidence of its divine inspiration. Written over centuries by many authors from varied backgrounds, the Bible nevertheless presents one harmonious message—revealing God’s will, His redemptive plan, and His unchanging truth. This study highlights how such unity cannot be explained by human effort alone, but points unmistakably to God as the true Author, calling us to trust the Scriptures fully and rely on them as our final authority.

In this lesson titled “Premillennialism”, we examine the doctrine of premillennialism in the light of God’s Word, carefully testing popular end-times teachings against the plain teaching of Scripture. While premillennialism is often presented as a hopeful and literal view of prophecy, this study explores whether its assumptions align with the full counsel of God or rely on misapplied passages and disconnected interpretations. By rightly dividing the Scriptures, we expose how selective readings and modern frameworks can twist biblical prophecy, and we point listeners back to a clear, consistent understanding of Christ’s kingdom, His reign, and the fulfillment of God’s promises as revealed in Scripture.

In this lesson titled “Sin”, we examine how God’s Word defines sin and how modern teachings often distort or minimize its seriousness. While many portray sin as harmless mistakes or subjective choices, Scripture reveals sin as a direct violation of God’s will that separates mankind from Him. This study contrasts popular misconceptions with clear biblical truth, exposing how twisted interpretations can dull our conscience and weaken the gospel message. By rightly dividing the Word of truth, we are reminded of the true nature of sin, its consequences, and God’s merciful provision for forgiveness and redemption through obedience to His revealed will.

In this lesson, Mormonism, we examine the teachings of Mormonism in the light of God’s Word, testing doctrine by Scripture rather than tradition or modern revelation. While many are sincere in their beliefs, sincerity alone does not determine truth. This study compares the claims of Mormonism with the Bible, exposing where additional writings, altered concepts of God, and redefined gospel messages depart from the faith once delivered. By rightly dividing the Scriptures, this lesson encourages listeners to seek truth, reject error, and hold fast to the gospel revealed in Christ and confirmed in the inspired Word of God.

In this lesson, “Law and Obedience”, we examine how many misuse passages about grace to downplay the clear biblical call to obey God’s commands. While some portray obedience as legalism or unnecessary effort, Scripture reveals that genuine faith naturally submits to God’s will and walks in His statutes. This study explores how the apostles taught the harmony between grace, law, and faithful obedience, exposing the dangers of doctrines that separate belief from action. Through careful examination of the Scriptures, we learn why true discipleship requires both trusting God’s promises and honoring His commandments with humble, willing hearts.

In this episode, The Eldership, we examine God’s pattern for church leadership as revealed in the King James Version of Scripture.

Paul describes the office of an elder with unmistakable clarity: “If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work… A bishop then must be blameless” (1 Timothy 3:1–2, KJV). Titus is instructed to “ordain elders in every city” who hold fast “the faithful word” (Titus 1:5, 9, KJV). Peter exhorts these leaders to “feed the flock of God… not by constraint, but willingly… being ensamples to the flock” (1 Peter 5:2–3, KJV).

We explore how these verses are sometimes twisted—whether by softening the qualifications, blurring the responsibilities, or elevating authority beyond what Scripture grants—and how returning to the KJV text restores a picture of humble, sacrificial shepherding that reflects Christ.

Whether you are studying the role of elders, preparing to serve, or seeking clarity on what the Bible teaches, this episode invites you to open your Bible and walk through these passages with us—one verse at a time.

In this lesson, “Opposing Error” from the series The Twisted Scriptures, we examine the Christian’s responsibility to stand against false teaching with clarity, conviction, and compassion. While many twist God’s Word to fit personal beliefs or popular doctrines, Scripture calls us to “earnestly contend for the faith” (Jude 3) and to expose teachings that lead souls away from truth. This episode explores how to recognize error, how to refute it using the Bible as the final authority, and how to defend the gospel without compromising love or integrity. Through careful study, we learn not only what to oppose, but how to oppose it in a way that honors God and strengthens His people.

In this lesson, “Faith Only” from the series The Twisted Scriptures, we examine the popular but dangerous doctrine that claims we are saved by “faith alone” apart from any obedience to God’s commands. Many religious teachers lift verses out of context, ignore the harmony of Scripture, and pit one passage against another to defend a faith that requires no real submission, repentance, or faithful living. In this study, we carefully consider what the Bible actually teaches about faith, works, grace, and obedience—showing that true, saving faith is active, obedient, and trusting, not a mere mental agreement. By rightly dividing the word of truth, we expose the misuse of “faith only” passages and call listeners back to the simple, powerful gospel of Christ.

In this lesson “The Twisted Scriptures,” we explore how God’s inspired Word can be misused, taken out of context, and bent to fit human doctrines rather than divine truth. Many today twist passages to justify false teaching, man-made traditions, or worldly lifestyles—yet the Bible warns plainly against wresting the Scriptures to our own destruction (2 Peter 3:16). In this study, we lay the groundwork for recognizing these distortions by examining the importance of context, comparing scripture with scripture, and maintaining a humble, honest heart before God. Our aim is not to win arguments, but to let the pure, uncorrupted Word of God shine through—so that we can know the truth, live the truth, and lovingly help others untangle the twisted uses of Scripture.

In this lesson, Creation vs. Evolution from the series The Twisted Scriptures, we examine how human theories and changing scientific claims are often elevated above the sure and settled Word of God. Many try to blend the Bible with evolutionary ideas, twisting passages about creation, time, and the nature of man to fit modern philosophies rather than submitting to the clear teaching of Scripture. In this study, we expose those misuses, contrast the wisdom of men with the wisdom of God, and reaffirm the biblical account of creation as both reliable and foundational to our faith. Listeners are challenged to ask: Who will I trust—fallible human interpretations, or the inspired revelation of the Creator Himself?

In this lesson, Worship Part 2 from the series The Twisted Scriptures, we continue examining how men have misunderstood and misused God’s pattern for true worship. Many appeal to personal preference, emotion, or tradition to justify innovations in worship—but what does the Bible actually teach? Building on the foundation laid in Part 1, this study looks deeper into the nature, focus, and boundaries of acceptable worship, contrasting the vain worship of men with the simple, spiritual worship God desires. Join us as we untangle common errors, return to the authority of Scripture, and strive to honor the Lord in spirit and in truth.

In this lesson, Alcohol, from the series The Twisted Scriptures, we examine how many have distorted or misused the Bible to justify drinking. God’s Word provides clear guidance about sobriety, self-control, and the dangers of strong drink—but too often, men twist these truths to excuse sinful behavior. This study uncovers what the Scriptures truly teach about alcohol, helping us walk wisely, avoid deception, and live lives that honor Christ in both word and action.

In this lesson, Baptism Part 2, from the series The Twisted Scriptures, we continue examining how God’s Word teaches the true purpose and meaning of baptism. Many have misunderstood or redefined this vital command, twisting the Scriptures to fit human doctrines rather than divine truth. This study compares Scripture with Scripture to reveal baptism’s essential role in salvation, the forgiveness of sins, and entrance into Christ—just as God intended.

In this lesson, Methods of Interpretation Part 2, from the series The Twisted Scriptures, we continue examining how the way we interpret Scripture shapes our understanding of God’s truth. Many errors arise not from rejecting the Bible outright, but from mishandling its meaning. This study explores sound principles of biblical interpretation—comparing Scripture with Scripture, respecting context, and letting God’s Word speak for itself—so that we may rightly divide the Word of Truth and avoid the snares of human reasoning.

In this lesson, Jehovah’s Witnesses, from the series The Twisted Scriptures, we examine how this religious group has altered and misinterpreted key passages of Scripture to support doctrines that depart from biblical truth. Through a careful and respectful study of God’s Word, we uncover how teachings on Christ’s deity, salvation, and the nature of God have been distorted—and what the Bible truly declares. With clarity and conviction, we seek to restore the pure and unchanging message of Scripture as revealed by the inspired Word of God.

In this lesson, Marriage, Divorce, and Remarriage Part 2 from the series The Twisted Scriptures, we continue examining how God’s design for marriage has been misinterpreted and altered by human reasoning and cultural shifts. Through a careful study of Scripture, this lesson clarifies what the Bible truly teaches about the permanence of marriage, the conditions for divorce, and the question of remarriage. With reverence for God’s Word, we seek to untangle the misconceptions and restore the divine truth about one of the most sacred covenants established by God.

In this lesson, Worship Part 1 from the series The Twisted Scriptures, we examine how the biblical concept of worship has often been misunderstood, diluted, or reshaped to fit personal preference rather than divine instruction. Many today equate worship with mere emotion, entertainment, or tradition — but what does God’s Word truly reveal about how He desires to be worshipped? Through careful study of Scripture, we uncover the difference between worship that pleases man and worship that pleases God. Join us as we lay the foundation for understanding true, reverent, and acceptable worship according to the Scriptures.
