If chapter 9 is about Israel's Past Election (service to God), chapter 10 is about Israel's Present Rejection. Since they have rejected Jesus Christ as their Messiah, he has rejected them from being his chosen vessel of service (John 9:39-41; 12:35-39). Their fall is our example that we too ought to take heed lest we fall  (1 Cor. 10:6, 11-12).

What was once a no-brainer to Philadelphian Period Christians (1500-1900 AD) has now become a necessity to talk about in the church. Most of Christianity takes an allegorical approach to Bible Study where they think everything is metaphorical. Today we'll see the need to take the Bible literally as God seeks to reveal truth, not hide it. 

This is a fun one! Today we see how the first time God uses a word helps to establish a pattern of truth found throughout the rest of Scripture. You can also see similar patterns with the way that God uses numbers in the Bible. 

The Holy Spirit leads Paul through a parenthesis period for the next three chapters in his doctrinal dissertation to talk about where Israel fits in to the church age today. This chapter is loaded with heavy doctrine that has been twisted by MANY churches and leaders today. We address those doctrinal errors before bringing it back to a practical warning for us all.

Today we go through tricky passages of Scripture that require you to implement more than one of the rules of Bible study in order to rightly divide the word of truth. For sure, you know of someone who has been taught a false doctrine because the following passages were twisted by "unlearned and unstable" men (2 Peter 3:16).

Are you groaning for the day when you exchange this vile body for one like unto his glorious body (Phil. 3:21; Rom. 8:23)? Are you earnestly striving in the race and your pursuit of God to be able to one day demonstrate just how worthy Jesus was to you on this earth (Rom. 8:19; Rev. 4:10-11)? You've been given all the promises of God to help your infirmities, so where is your focus?

Skeptics love to claim the Bible is chalk full of contradictions, yet they can never seem to produce one of them. Today, we take a look at a few of them and find that all "contradictions" can be easily resolved when you rightly divide with the Sword of the Spirit (Heb. 4:16; Eph. 6:17)

We're approaching halftime in our study of the book of Romans. Whereas some teams seek to run the clock out before the half, God instead chooses to run the ball to the endzone in chapter 8. What we're about to study is one of the most important chapters in all the Bible. This chapter details our birthrights as Christians now that we are in Christ.

God speaks through his creation (Ps. 19:1; Rom. 1:20). What does creation declare? Today's lesson may just help give light to those passages of scripture that you easily skip over.

Now that you're saved (Romans 4-5), you're dead to sin and are no longer under its eternal power (Romans 6); but practically speaking you're still in this body that wants to be back in control to sin. What's the solution to the daily warfare between your body and your spirit? Tune in to find out.
