SUNDAY STUDY: God’s Foreknowledge and our Free Will
From TheBereanCall.org
Can you believe both in God’s foreknowledge and our power of choice? If God knows ahead of time that someone is going to do something, how can they decide for themselves? Isn’t foreknowledge the same as predestination?
The biblical doctrine of foreknowledge simply states that God knows everything that will happen before it happens—which, as God, He must know. Prophecy, in…
SUNDAY STUDY: Salvation
By TheBereanCall.org
In desperation, the Philippian jailer cried, “What must I do to be saved?” Paul’s reply was simple: “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved…” (Acts 16:31).
The great apostle said nothing about baptism or sacraments, candles, incense, church attendance, reforming one’s life, or anything else being necessary or even helpful for salvation. From Genesis to …

SUNDAY STUDY: Jerusalem – The Most Important City in the World
Why is Jerusalem, among all the cities of the world, so important in ages past and still today?
The problem of Israel and Jerusalem is apparently intractable to the other nations of the world, and it must be resolved by God. Zechariah 12 also shows that it will indeed be solved “in that day”–the day when Christ returns.

SUNDAY STUDY: DO or DONE?
From middletownbiblechurch.org/helpseek/doordone.htm
“There is a wide difference between your religion and mine,” said a Christian lady to one in whose spiritual condition she had long been interested. “Indeed,” said he, “how is that?” “Your religion,” she replied, “has only two letters in it, and mine has four.”
It seems that this gentleman was one of that numerous class seeking to get to heav…
SUNDAY STUDY: The Value of a Soul
You Can’t Measure the Value of the Human Soul
By Pastor Adrian Rogers @lwf.org (loveworthfinding.org)
Your body will die, but your living soul, made in the image of God, will go on. You should not give yourself rest until your soul’s destiny is settled.
Many say, “I don’t want to surrender my life to Jesus.”
But Jesus said, “Whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his l…
SUNDAY STUDY: God’s Will vs. Satan’s Will
Satan fell before the foundation of the world and he has been trying to corrupt the world ever since.

You said in your heart, “I will ascend to heaven; I will raise my throne above the stars of God; I will sit enthroned on the mount of assembly, on the utmost h…
SUNDAY STUDY: Are We Religious or Spiritual?
A Bible Study by Jack Kelley @gracethrufaith.com

SUNDAY STUDY: The Constraint of the Call
By Oswald Chambers @utmost.org
“Woe is me if I do not preach the gospel!” —1 Corinthians 9:16
Beware of refusing to hear the call of God. Everyone who is saved is called to testify to the fact of his salvation. That, however, is not the same as the call to preach, but is merely an illustration which can be used in preaching.
In this verse, Paul was referring to the stinging pains produced in hi…
SUNDAY STUDY: The Authority of Jesus Christ
Many Christian churches, leaders, and lay Christians are eliminating the authority of Jesus Christ as the only WAY to eternal life with God. They claim they believe in a loving God, but of the Gospel of the Cross , the atonement, the holy blood, the redemption, the justification through faith in Christ, they will no longer speak about.
There is NO Christianity without the Gospel of Jesus the Ch…

SUNDAY STUDY: The Five Crowns in Heaven
THE FIVE CROWNS
In HEAVEN
In many churches, those members who study Bible prophecy are relegated to the ‘lunatic fringe’ politely, and sometimes not so politely, dismissed out-of-hand for wasting their time trying to divine the future.
Not so. Christians that study prophecy are not trying to “divine the future” – they are earning the “Crown of Righteousness” promised to all those that love His…
