Line Upon Line

Working through Isaiah 6:1, Pastor Miles sets the throne-room vision against the historical backdrop of King Uzziah's death, identifies the One on the throne as Jesus, and traces Isaiah's encounter with God's holiness through conviction, confession, cleansing, call, and commission. He warns that, like Judah, a nation richly given God's revelation that disregards it stands under God's judgment, while a remnant will return.

Pastor Miles teaches the "song of the vineyard" in Isaiah 5, showing how God planted, protected, and provided for Israel yet found wild grapes—injustice instead of righteousness—and walks through the six woes that follow. He applies these warnings to our own day, urging believers to learn from Israel's history and boldly share the truth in love.

A verse-by-verse teaching on Galatians 6 that moves from sound doctrine (orthodoxy) to right practice (orthopraxy), showing how Spirit-filled believers are to restore the fallen, bear one another's burdens, examine their own work, and sow generously into the kingdom of God.

Working through Galatians 5:14-26, Pastor Miles teaches that the entire law is fulfilled in the command to love your neighbor as yourself, modeled on Christ's self-giving servanthood, and that this love only grows as believers walk in the Spirit rather than sowing to the flesh.

Pastor Miles teaches Isaiah 3, where God removes from Judah and Jerusalem every competent leader and provision as a judgment for their sin, leaving inexperienced and delusional rulers, social oppression, and the stripping away of the proud women's finery. He draws sustained parallels to America, then shows how God's punishment is always for the purpose of purification, culminating in the promised restoration through the Branch of the Lord.

Teaching from Galatians 5:1-13, Pastor Miles explains that Christ has set believers free from slavery to sin, warning the Galatians against being re-entangled in the yoke of bondage by adding circumcision, law-keeping, or any religious work to the finished work of Christ. He concludes that true liberty in Christ is not license to sin but freedom to serve one another in love.

Teaching through Isaiah 2, Pastor Miles unfolds the prophecy of the last days—the millennial reign of Christ when nations stream to Jerusalem and beat their swords into plowshares—but shows from Joel 3 that God's judgment in the Day of the Lord must come first. He calls hearers to walk in the light of the Lord now, warning against the same sins of cultish practice, wealth, military trust, idols, and pride that brought judgment on Judah.

Opening a verse-by-verse study of Isaiah, Pastor Miles introduces the prophet's heavy commission and walks through Isaiah 1, where God indicts Judah and Jerusalem for idolatry, injustice, and empty worship, yet calls them to repentance and promises that His punishment aims at purification and restoration. He draws sobering parallels to modern America, urging the church to recognize the spiritual war, repent, and trust the God who remains on the throne.

Paul confronts the false teachers in Galatia who demanded law-keeping and circumcision for righteousness, and answers them from the Old Testament story of Abraham. Through Abraham's life, the teaching shows that righteousness comes by faith in God's promise, not by the works of the flesh, and calls believers to stand fast in the liberty Christ has given.

Paul writes to the Galatian churches to combat the Judaizers who taught that Gentile believers must become Jews through circumcision and law-keeping to be saved. Through the analogy of an heir under tutors, Paul shows that in the fullness of time God sent His Son to redeem us not merely as servants but as adopted children and joint heirs with Christ, sealed by the Holy Spirit.
