This Bible study on Ezra 1-2 is the first of a series covering the book of Ezra. During this historical period God restored His people to the Promised Land after a 70 year exile in Babylon. Important themes in the book include promise, hope, forgiveness, building God's kingdom, and true repentance.

In this study we see that God stirred the hearts of the king and of the people. And they responded. 

What calling has God placed in your heart? Are you responding to this call? The lessons from the book of Ezra are very practical for our modern lives as we too seek to build God's kingdom.

This Bible study on Revelation 2:12-17 looks at the third of seven letters from Jesus to the churches. It is the Church of Pergamum. This is known as the compromising church.

Although in name they followed Christ, many in the church were being influenced by the world around them. And temptation was everywhere.

From this letter we learn how important it is to be aware of the tempting influences in the world around us and stand firm on the truth Word of God. Learn how you can protect your church, family, and mind from the onslaught of evil spiritual forces. Satan is often subtle and sneaky. But by having the right spiritual weapons and the right relationship, you can conquer.

This Bible study on Revelation 2:8-11 is focused on the persecution that the Church of Smyrna was going to face.

Persecution is tough. No one wants to go through it, but John said that we should not be surprised when we face it. And Jesus told the Church of Smyrna that they were going to face persecution. It is one of only two churches that Jesus had no words of criticism for.

But he does offer some words of encouragement and counsel. If you are going through hard times, these words can comfort and strengthen you too.

In this Bible study of Revelation 1 Verses 17-20 we can see the person and character of Jesus as he interacts with John. When John saw Jesus he fell at his feet as though dead. It is then we see the kindness and love of Jesus in his response and words to John.

This verse by verse study was very encouraging to me. It shows us once again the wonderful Savior we serve. Every study is another reminder of how practical each passage of Scripture is and how it can change our attitudes and actions if we let it.

In this passage James strongly rebukes the rich who exploit others to make more money. In this Bible study on James 5 we will look at several questions including:

Is it is in to be rich?
Is money good or bad?
What should I do with my money?

The Bible talks about money over and over again. It is because having the wrong attitude and perspective toward money is so common, and so dangerous. 

Whether you are rich, poor, or in between in this Bible lesson you can learn how God wants you to view the materials He has given to you.
