Kingsword Bible Study

In this episode, we look at what exactly it means to be a peacemaker and how specifically we answer this call. We look at how we can make peace and we see what the different roles of a peacemaker are. We also look at the importance and wisdom in making a real effort to be peaceable people. We go throughout scripture to take an in-depth look at the thieves of peace, the three most potent devices of the enemy being anger, worry and fear. We look at the need to rebuke these and see exactly how we can take back our peace and make peace in our life, in our situation and in our interactions with others. Let’s make the choice today to be peacemakers. 

In this episode, we look at how King Saul was hunting after David and every man of the High Priest Ahimelech’s house. One man of that house, Abiathar escaped and went to David and we find that David comforted him. We can learn a lot from this, we explore all the different lessons we can take from this interaction and go throughout scripture to see what comfort really means, how we ourselves can be comforted and how we can comfort others. We’re called by God to comfort those around us, especially our fellow believers, so it’s incredibly important that we know what we’re dealing with and how to do it.

In this episode, we look at how we can receive the kingdom of God as a little child. We look at what the Lord’s command means for us. We look at how we’re not to be children, we’re to be like children. We see what that means and some of the different attributes of childhood that we can imitate and emulate in our lives. We look at the importance of dependence, child-like faith, refusal to hold on to anger, engaging in joy and laughter and seeking after understanding and wisdom. We go throughout scripture to see what we should do to be like little children and we look at all the different ways we receive the kingdom of God as a little child.

In this episode, we look at the importance of giving thanks, especially as it relates to giving thanks in advance. We go throughout scripture to see some examples of people giving thanks for things that hadn’t come to be yet and see how and why they were able to do so even before the answer manifested. We also discuss the connection that exists between thankfulness and praise and how this connection directly affects us and our prayer life. Giving thanks is a way of life and we have a choice today, right now, to seize the opportunity we have and give thanks to God for all He’s done, past, present and future.

In this episode, we look at the dangers of allowing ourselves to become spiritually lukewarm. We see how we get to that point and the effect that brings about in our life if left unchecked. We also look at what we should have instead, which is zeal. We see what exactly zeal is, how we get it and what it looks like in action. Today the Church needs to rekindle its zeal, these are days that call for a zealous response. During these evil days we’re living in, being lukewarm won’t suffice, we need to rekindle our zeal. 

In this episode, we look at Jesus’ call to go through Samaria, how he ‘must needs go’. We look at why that was and the difference that it made. We look at the history of the route he took, the history of the city he stopped in, and the history of Samaria itself. We also go throughout scripture to see what this calling means for us. Sometimes we must go through Samaria ourselves but our Samaria is the world, it’s a hostile territory, a land where there will be people who hate us and work against us. Sometimes we have to go that way, we look at how we’re to act during those times and how God can use us even in Samaria, even in the world, the devil’s territory. 

In this episode, we look at how we as the people of God, should respond to the hard times that arise in our lives. We go throughout scripture to look at three men who exemplified how we can do it right in our lives. We look at Aaron, Eli and Job and see what they did and how we can do the same. There are certain actions they took that set apart their reactions from those of the natural, carnal man. Today we have the opportunity to respond rightly when the hard, bad and troublesome times of this life afflict us. Today we need to make the choice to follow the example of these men and honor God in through our reaction.

In this episode, we look at the importance of fine-tuning our spiritual hearing so that we can discern God’s voice speaking to us. We see how we can tell that it’s really God’s voice and not our own mind. We see how there are those who run and hide from God’s voice, while there are others who like Mary, hide His Word in their heart and hide themselves in Him. We need to do what Mary did and when God gives us a word in our spirit, hide it there as we Hide ourselves within the Lord. We need to make the choice today to hide His Word in our heart.

In this episode we look at what Jesus had to say about purity during His famous Sermon on the Mount. He said that the pure in heart shall see God. We look at why that is, who the pure in heart are and what it means for us today. We look at how we can show forth purity around us and the connection purity has to generosity. We go throughout scripture to look at the important and prominent place that generosity has in the Lord’s teachings. We need to make the choice today to show our purity by our generosity.

In this episode we look at the wind of the Holy Spirit. We see why Jesus compared the workings and operations of the Holy Spirit to wind when He was talking to Nicodemus. We see what the Holy Spirit’s role is when someone is born again and the dangers of over-emphasizing man’s role. We look at what we’re called to do when leading others to Christ and how the Holy Spirit’s sovereignty relates to our free will in that matter. We need to do our work to the best of our ability and then let the Holy Spirit do His.
