The Scripture Study ProjectIsaiah 13-35 - Fat ThingsWhen Krista and I were first married she introduced me to the idea of "empty calories"--foods that you could eat but that would give little to no nutrition (this was how she described many of the things I had grown used to eating in college). This week we Isaiah 13-35 and look at the things Isaiah describes that are the spiritual version of empty calories and, conversely and much more importantly, the things truly feed the soul.

With all of the commotion going on in our world today it might be more important (and maybe more difficult) to hear Him than ever before. But if we did, what would we hear? What would we see?

The Scripture Study Project1-2 Timothy, Titus, Philemon - SwerveWhat happens when you feel yourself or someone you love swerving away from the covenant path? That's the question that Paul addresses with a few specific individuals (Timothy and Titus) from this week's study. Study along as we discuss the difference between doctrine and policy and how we can navigate a world that seems to be constantly changing while drawing closer to a God who is unchageable.

The Scripture Study Project1-2 Thessalonians - PatienceThe Thessalonian saints spent their Christian living in world filled with persecution and pain and, thus, anticipated with longing the promised blessings of the Second Coming of Christ and the accompanying salvation from pain. However, Paul writes to inform them that those promised blessings are yet a ways off for them. So what do you do when the future you're waiting for isn't here yet? What do you do when you're tired of doing what's right and waiting for the reward? How can you be "not weary in well doing" when you feel you've been doing it so long...2019-10-2129 min
The Scripture Study ProjectPhilippians-Colossians - RejoiceOur life, like Paul's, is often filled with bad news and good news that are intertwined. From prison (bad news) Paul writes a letter to the Philippians about his rejoicing (good news) in the gospel of Christ. Similarly, we must learn how to face our own prisons and problems (bad news) and see through them to the promises and perfection (good news) that Jesus Christ offers.
