Full Description

(In case you're not on Facebook)

This is not your typical #fellowship-style #biblestudy idea nor a bible study where someone else has studied, and you learn from them. We are working through a thorough #study of #1John this year.
⠀
Here's what we hope to do in 1 year:
• Read 1st John 50 times, once each week (less than a chapter a day).
• Memorize 1st John (105 verses) This will almost happen on accident.
• Outline 1st John - straight, basic, and detailed outlines.
• Overview helps and gradually, various commentaries.
• Various word studies - some Greek lessons
• Paraphrasing and verse by verse discoveries.
• Study questions and study helps provided weekly.
• Sharing notes, questions, and fellowship as we go.
• And in general, learn how to study a book of the Bible thoroughly.
⠀
This is always too overwhelming for anyone to try and do with busy lives, but by spreading it out over one year, anyone who would like to can.
⠀
Bible reading plans are essential and excellent. This study is not to replace that but to help us move a step further. Regularly reading through the whole Bible is necessary for spiritual growth. But when you study a book of the Bible, you end up making discoveries that are not possible with a mere read-through.

Are all of your insights from messages or books? When was the last time a spiritual lightbulb clicked in the word of God, and you discovered something of Christ or understood a confusing verse for the first time? When you study the Bible in this thorough way, you pick up treasures of Christ for both you and the whole body of Christ.

The mystery of Israel: a conversation about prophecies and modern events

This is not a message, it is more of a discussion that I’ve been having with several people by phone call or email or chat or in person. This only includes some notes on it but I wanted to share a more comprehensive view all at once.

God Has Spoken Series

Question: Where can I get the audio messages of Stephen Kaung's God Has Spoken series? If I could recommend only one book or series by Stephen Kaung it would be his God Has Spoken series. He shared a message for each book of the Bible, giving a simple overview and revealing the way to find Christ as you read. It is not only his classic set but it's His way with the Scriptures. Our brother could always find Christ and find Him as He's meant to be found. For a new believer and an old believer, this is the first set to have as guide through the Bible and a reference set to go back to later on. Below are links to each of the original messages. Old Testament Introduction to the Old Testament Genesis -The Will of God Exodus -The Works of God Leviticus - The Ways of God Numbers -The Walk of God Deuteronomy - The Word of God Joshua - Possessing the Land Judges - Possessing all the Possessions Ruth - Recovery of the Inheritance I Samuel - Epoch-...

How do I prepare to share a 5-minute message?

I just received a question via text from a brother who is about to share a short word at an upcoming event. He wanted to know how I prepare when I'm sharing a word. There are many more details to talk about, but for those 5-minute times, here are my notes: 1) Pray for the people The "burden of the word" (Mal 1:1) or the specific main word I get often comes through this. If I have no clue what to share on and I'm asking the Lord about it, the answer doesn't always come until I begin to pray for the people. More often than not, I'll be praying for the souls, and some Scripture or topic will come through that. Sometimes I already have the word, and I cannot tell when it came, but I know what I should share on. In your case, you may have a word already in your heart that has worked in you to get you to this point. Even still, you take the word and bring it to the Lord and pray for the people that will be listening. 2) Meditate and receive the word The largest par...
