Kingsword Bible Study

In this episode we look at the Passover Lamb. First we look at the significance of the lamb in the Egyptian culture and what the sacrificing of a lamb by the Israelites would mean to them. We then look at the purpose of the lamb and the foreshadowing of it pointing to Jesus and His redemptive mission. Then we look at the significance of the blood of the lamb and the placement of the blood on the doorposts and lintels of the houses. We study why it was to be on the doorposts exactly and not somewhere else. There’s a lot we can learn from the Passover Lamb and we should make the choice today to show the Lord how much we appreciate and value the blood of the Lamb.

In this episode, we look at the judgement that came upon the Egyptian gods through the ten plagues. We look at how the judgement was not just against Pharaoh but against their idols and really their entire system of mythology. We look at each plague to see which idol it was in judgement of and how that judgement affected the Egyptian people and society. We also look at the separation God made between their people and His people. Lastly we look at what we can learn from this for our own day as it relates to all the idols our culture has set up and worshipped.

In this episode, we look at mourning over sin. We look at what it means to do so and why we should do it. We look at the Beatitudes in the Sermon on the Mount to see what Jesus said about 'Blessed are they that mourn for they shall be comforted.' We look at what exactly this entails and the connection that it has with the feeling of guilt. We look at how people come to feel guilty and how we should respond when we do feel so. We also look at the feeling of shame and how we can properly deal with it. We look at the purpose of mourning over our sin and how it should lead to forgiveness and freedom. We should make the choice today to mourn and repent of our sin so that the Lord can lift the burden and free us!

In this episode, we look at what happens when we feel overwhelmed. We look at why and how we get to this point, why this line of attack is so successful for the enemy and how we can overcome it. We look at two instances where David was overwhelmed and we learn from him it’s causes and it’s remedy. The key to overcoming overwhelm is worship and the more we worship in spite of the pressure or troubles we face the more peace we’ll have and feel. We can make the choice today to let the Lord lift the burden of overwhelm from us.

In this episode, we look at the Lord’s command to be the salt of the earth. We look at why he would say ‘salt’ specifically. There were a few uses and purposes of salt that stand out as purposes for the Church being on the earth as well. We’re here for a reason, we’re on a mission and the better we understand the purpose of the mission, the easier it will be to faithfully execute it. We also look at what happens when we lose our savor and why that happens. We then look at how we can restore it. Today we need to make the choice to follow the call of God to be the salt of the earth.

In this episode, we look at the Gospel accounts of Jesus’ entrance into Jerusalem leading up to His crucifixion. We look at why they were waving palms and singing Hosanna. We look at where the term originated and what the true significance of it was. We also look at the lessons we can learn from it as we apply them to our own lives. There’s a lot of similarities between our lives and what happened on that great and triumphant day and we can all say as believers, ‘Hosanna in the Highest Blessed is He that cometh in the name of the Lord’.

In this episode, we look at Jephthah and his story. We look at his origins and where he came from and how it relates to us and our life. We see how the same things that happened to him are happening again today, including his exile. Maybe it isn’t physical exile, but it’s exile in some form, either emotional, mental, financial or spiritual exile. We look at what we can do during this time and how God can turn it around for our good. Let’s make the choice today to let God take our time of being exiled and use it for our time of being exalted.

In this episode, we look at how the devil sends people amongst God’s people to try to overthrow their faith. We see what his plans and purposes are and how exactly he goes about attempting to overthrow and destroy. We also look at how people, especially Christians allow themselves to get into a position that makes them vulnerable to this type of attack. We also look at the danger that this presents to nonbelievers. We then look at how we can protect ourselves from falling for the lies of the enemy and keep our faith from being overthrown.

In this episode, we look at how we lay up eternal joy and Heavenly treasures. We look at the connection between laying up treasures and happiness and bitterness and see how many make the mistake of laying up things hoping to secure temporal happiness at the expense of eternal joy. We look at the poison of bitterness and how it eats away at our soul, our spirit, our minds and our hearts. We look at how we can root bitterness out of our life and receive the joy of the Lord in our hearts as we lay up treasures, our faith, our trust, our dependence and reliance on God in Heaven where they can never be corrupted, stolen or destroyed.

In this episode we look at the Lord’s command to lay not up for yourselves treasures upon the earth. We see why He said this and how the use of the word ‘yourselves’ gets to the heart of the matter. We see what lurks beneath the surface of this mindset, how it belies the self becoming an idol and how instead of allowing God to have His rightful place, we allow self to take His place and sacrifice to self. We’re called to lay up treasures in Heaven and be rich in God. That’s true wealth that never fades, true prosperity in every area of life and its wealth that can’t be corrupted or stolen.
