  • Isaiah | Lesson 5: The Solution to the Sanctimonious

    Isaiah 1:16-19

    Because of the people’s hypocritical and empty practice of the actually God-ordained rituals, the Lord gives nine practices that would represent to Him real repentance and true good works, making the rituals practices meaningful and sincere. Isaiah tells the people that although their sins are as “scarlet,” with true faith repentance they can become “white as snow.”

  • Isaiah | Lesson 4: Sanctimonious Hypocrisy

    Isaiah 1:11-15

    Isaiah describes five ritual practices that the Jews were performing that God had commanded them to do in the Law. Unfortunately, their hearts were so darkened and so far from the Lord that God actually says He hates their rituals. The Lord even says that He will refuse to hear their prayers because of their extreme hypocrisy.

  • Isaiah | Lesson 3: Four-Fold Judgment Pending

    Isaiah 1:7-10


    We begin this session with a brief discussion on four types of prophecy: prolepsis, futurism, the telescoping technique, and the issue of multiple fulfillments. The LORD God gives a four-fold description of the devastating judgment coming on Israel, the north kingdom. There is also a warning to Judah, the south kingdom, about their frail spiritual condition; better then Israel, but not good at all. Verses nine and ten have references to the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah and their similarity to the Jewish nations.

  • Isaiah | Lession 2: Warning of Judgment Against Israel

    Isaiah 1:1-6


    The LORD God begins to warn the Jewish people, the north kingdom of Israel in particular, about coming judgment. The description of Israel acknowledges the depth of their rebellion against God as well as numerous specific sins of a very dark nature. Isaiah compares Israel to a desperately sick human body. We look at the prophetic technique known as prolepsis; a very important style that Isaiah uses often.

  • Isaiah | Lesson 1: Historical Context of the Book of Isaiah

    Isaiah 1:1


    We begin our study in selected chapters of Isaiah by looking at historical events in the Old Testament, starting at creation. How and when did the kingdom of Israel split into two nations? Why were kings reigning in both Jewish nations when that was not God’s intention for their government? What was the spiritual condition of both Judah and Israel when Isaiah began his ministry as a prophet? The answers to these questions put the book in historical context and help to explain the nature of Isaiah’s preaching.

  • Colossians | Lesson 32: Essentials of Biblical Prayer

    We end our study in Colossians with this session. Paul gives specific “how-to” instruction about our prayers lives: be devoted, be alert, be thankful, be interceding. Paul asks for intercessory prayer for himself and his missionary work. This is a strong encouragement for us to pray for missionaries! Then Paul exhorts all believers to take advantage of all opportunities for the gospel, “conducting yourselves with wisdom toward outsiders, making the most of the opportunity,.” A fitting close for the instruction of this tremendous epistle!

  • Colossians | Lesson 31: Impartial Judgment and Biblical Management

    Paul includes a very strong warning statement at the end of chapter three about God’s judgment on those who do evil. For those outside of Jesus Christ the judgment is unavoidable, impartial, and consequential. Paul then goes on in chapter four to give the final “role” instruction. His teaching to “masters” (and all who are in similar authority positions) actually revolves around the Golden Rule. In verse two we begin to look at look four important points about prayer.

  • Colossians | Lesson 30: Essentials of Biblical Employment

    Paul moves on to instruction regarding the master-slave relationship. Even in this difficult reality Paul teaches on what the godly response is to be. We also note the application here to the employer-employee relationship. Additionally, Paul addresses the matter of, “whatever you do…” We look at five points related to that all-encompassing statement and the “reward of the inheritance” for serving God faithfully.

  • Colossians | Lesson 29: Essentials of Biblical Parenting

    Paul continues his instruction in the matter of the biblically-defined family. Children are to be obedient to parents. We note that the Scripture does not take this matter flippantly or lightly at all. Parents, perhaps especially fathers here, are to train their children up ultimately, first and foremost, to be disciples of Jesus. We look at some very practical matters in this process.

  • Colossians | Lesson 28: Essentials of A Biblical Marriage

    Paul begins his teaching on relationships, starting with the family. In this session we focus on the husband-wife relationship, that is, submission and headship. Paul notes that these roles are ordained by God. We recognize that the marriage roles are rooted in the unchangeable historical facts of creation.
