1st John Bible Nerd-Study - Week 4

Week 4—1st John Bible Nerd-Study 

*Missed last week? Click here for 1st John Bible Nerd-Study - Week 3

We're at week 4! 

Do you need to catch up? Try having someone read out loud to you while you follow along. You can use an audio version if your go-to translation has it. Since we're outlining right now and studying I'd recommend reading along and being free to pause. For a slow reading from an audio bible, it will take you about 15 to 20 minutes if you follow along. That's not too much for a weekend read. But if you need to catch up, try this week to do the daily reading of 1 chapter a day and then when you find time do some of the catch up reading. 

Week 4's study assignment:

  1. Purpose to post something you've found that is edifying spiritually. We have some who are studying but quietly. It's helpful in a group study to share a little and may push us to seek the Lord for the sake of others. 
  2. Continue to complete and modify your straight outline. 
  3. Continue to notice any clusters or greater sections and note those separately. 
  4. Continue to notice words, phrases, or topics that repeat. 
We're not looking to merely find the right answers but we're searching for Christ. We're studying extra, paying an extra price of time and heart, so we can find some extra bit of the treasure of God's Son hidden in His Scriptures.

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...
