SUNDAY STUDY: When Does Life Begin?
By Dr. Tommy Mitchell published in The New Answers Book 2 @ answersingenesis.org
When does human life begin? This question has confounded individuals and divided our society.
When did I begin to be me? Is this a scientific question or a theological one?1 Would this question be best left to scientists or to preachers and philosophers? Information and viewpoints from secular scientific sources and…
SUNDAY STUDY: Tisha B’Av, The Holy Temple Destroyed
Tisha B’Av, an annual fast day in Judaism, is named for the ninth day (Tisha) of the month of Av in the Hebrew calendar.
Beginning the evening of Sat, Aug 2, 2025 through sundown Sun, Aug 3, 2025, observant Jews all over the world will fast and mourn the destruction of the First and Second Temples that occurred on the same day – the 9th of Av – approximately 656 years apart.

SUNDAY STUDY: For Our Transgressions
By Henry M. Morris, Ph.D. at ICR.org
“But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon Him; and with His stripes we are healed.” (Isaiah 53:5)
The 53rd chapter of Isaiah (actually, the chapter should begin at Isaiah 52:13) contains the clearest and fullest exposition of the substitutionary sacrifice of Christ for our sins to be f…
SUNDAY STUDY: Dealing with Delay
BY DARYL W. ROBBINS @icr.org
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.” (2 Peter 3:9)
Longsuffering is an attribute of God that is often mentioned in Scripture. It is not one of the easier attributes that we would like to acquire in our efforts to be Chris…
SUNDAY STUDY: Light for Every Man
By Henry M. Morris @ICR.org
“That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.” (John 1:9)
The Bible clearly teaches that faith in the person and saving work of Jesus Christ is essential for salvation. Jesus Himself said, “I am the way…no man cometh unto the Father, but by me” (John 14:6). “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under h…
SUNDAY STUDY: Acquaintance with Grief
By Oswald Chambers @utmost.org
He is…a Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. Isaiah 53:3
We are not “acquainted with grief” in the same way our Lord was acquainted with it. We endure it and live through it, but we do not become intimate with it. At the beginning of our lives we do not bring ourselves to the point of dealing with the reality of sin. We look at life through the eyes of reason…
SUNDAY STUDY: Created
From Henry M. Morris @ICR.org
“…even every one that is called by my name: for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him; yea, I have made him.” (Isaiah 43:7)
There are three main verbs used to describe God’s work of creation in Genesis. These are “create” (Hebrew bara), “make” (asah), and “form” (yatsar). The three words are similar in meaning, but each has a slightly different emphasi…
SUNDAY STUDY: God, Our Father
“one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all” Ephesians 4:6
By Ken Ham @ answersingenesis.org
One of my favorite passages in the Bible is in Joshua 4, where we read the account of the Israelites miraculously crossing the Jordan River. God told Joshua to get the people to have 12 men gather 12 stones from the river and build a memorial so that:
When your children a…
SUNDAY STUDY: Righteous Boldness
BY HENRY M. MORRIS III, D.MIN.@ICR.org
“The righteous are bold as a lion.” (Proverbs 28:1)
A holy boldness is imparted to those who seek to speak the truth of God (Acts 4:31). The miracle of the Pentecost outpouring of the Holy Spirit was followed by several incidents where the various apostles and early Christian leaders spoke “boldly in the Lord” (Acts 14:3). Where does this boldness come from…
SUNDAY STUDY: The Veil over the Nations
“And he will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering cast over all people, and the veil that is spread over all nations.” (Isaiah 25:7)
Many people feel that every nation should be encouraged simply to practice its own religion. God’s Word, however, makes it plain that all nations are blinded, cut off from the truth by a deadly covering. This is true of the Jews, for “even unto this day…
SUNDAY STUDY: Our Kinsman Redeemer
A pardon allows a person who has been convicted of a crime to be free and absolved of that conviction, demonstrating that their debt to society has been paid.
Excerpted from Clarence Larkin’s “Dispensational Truth”
Kinsman Redeemer: (Hebrew Go’el) to redeem a relative who had been sold into slavery; to avenge the killing of a relative
The Requirements of the Go’el
Must be a near relative or kins…
SUNDAY STUDY: Everywhere Present at One Time
By John R. Cross, The Stranger on the Road to Emmaus, Edition 5
Not all the attributes of God are equally comprehensible. Somehow it’s easier for us to envision God being all-powerful and all-knowing than to see Him being present in all places at the same time. But over and over again, the Scripture teaches us that God is everywhere-present.
When you stop and ponder the idea, it really is comfort…
