Line Upon Line

A through-the-Bible overview of Ezekiel, focusing on why God pours out wrath and jealousy on His own people, using chapter 16's harlot allegory, chapter 18's principle that each soul is judged for its own sin, and the closing prophecies of Israel's restoration and the Gog/Magog invasion. The teaching presses the believer's call to warn the wicked and the righteous alike in light of coming judgment.

A verse-by-verse walk through Lamentations, showing how Jeremiah's five poetic laments over the destruction of Jerusalem reveal both the thoroughness of God's righteous judgment and the depth of His mercy. Pastor Miles draws from the book a present-day call to the church: to recover vision, repent, and become cross-cultural missionaries to a dying generation in our own towns.

A survey of the book of Jeremiah, tracing the long, lonely, sorrowful ministry of the weeping prophet who proclaimed coming destruction to a hard-hearted Judah while still extending God's gracious call to repent. The teaching highlights God's promise of a New Covenant fulfilled in Christ, who writes His law on our hearts, forgives sin, and replaces the wicked heart of stone with a heart of flesh.

A panoramic walk through the book of Isaiah, showing how prophecy is "God's fingerprint" on Scripture, how the book divides into condemnation, context, and comfort, and how its central theme—"a remnant shall return" and "the Lord has saved"—points to the Messiah. The teaching highlights God's patience, his judgment as purifying discipline, and the rich messianic prophecies that anticipate Christ centuries in advance.

A verse-by-verse walk through the Song of Solomon, showing it to be God's beautiful, poetic instruction on love and intimacy within marriage. Pastor Miles traces its structure as a love story while also pointing to its allegorical picture of Christ's love for His bride, the church.

Pastor Miles teaches through Ecclesiastes as Solomon's grand experiment to find meaning "under the sun" apart from God, which leads only to the conclusion that all is vanity. The book's resolution—remember the Creator in your youth, fear God, and keep His commandments—points to an eternal perspective that alone makes man whole.

A walk through the book of Proverbs, rooted in Solomon's prayer for wisdom in 1 Kings, showing how the book divides into six sections and teaches us to navigate life by fearing the Lord and trusting Him completely.

An overview of the book of Psalms as the book of human emotion, surveying its five-book structure, its many authors across a thousand years, and its portrayal of Christ and the character of God. The teaching emphasizes that the Psalms invite us to approach God honestly in every emotion, remembering that He remains on His throne and is worthy of eternal praise.

A verse-by-verse walk through the book of Job, tracing its three movements—the dilemma, the debates, and the deliverance—to show that suffering is not always the result of hidden sin, that God remains intimately involved even when distant-feeling, and that the believer's hope rests in a living Redeemer and a latter end better than the beginning.

A verse-by-verse walk through the book of Esther, read allegorically: the king pictures the soul, Queen Esther and Mordecai picture the spirit and Holy Spirit, and Haman the Agagite pictures the flesh that must be destroyed. The teaching highlights the hidden hand of God working all things together for good, even when His name is never mentioned, and closes by addressing the problem of pain in light of the eternal world God is preparing.
