Study and Obey

This Bible study on Jacob is part of Study and Obey's Hebrews 11 series. We look at Jacob's background, vocation, and place in history as well as his strengths and weaknesses.

The successes and failures of Biblical heroes of the faith can teach us valuable life lessons. They were flesh and blood like we are. As flawed humans, they were recipients of grace.

What does Jacob's life teach you about the Lord and what do you need to apply to your life today? How can a man who was so deceptive and such a schemer be listed in the hall of faith?

In this passage we will see that there is every reason to believe in God. Having faith in Him is reasonable, logical, and rational. This faith can help us endure in the face of difficulty and temptation. And the examples of faithful believers remind us of God's grace.

Melchizedek is perhaps the most mysterious character in the Bible. He comes on to the scene suddenly in the time of Abraham and leaves just as quickly. He is only mentioned twice in the Old Testament, but the writer of Hebrews refers to him repeatedly.

In this passage he is described as being, "without father or mother or genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life."

Who is this mysterious character? And what can we learn from him?

Join us in this Bible study of Hebrews 7:1-10 to find out.

Many people make promises. They don't always keep them. Maybe they change their mind or maybe they can't because of things outside their control.

The good news for us that God never changes His mind and He is in total control. 

This Bible study on Hebrews 6:9-20 is a timely reminder that we can cling to God's promises because He always keeps them.

One of the most important questions you can ever ask is, "Am I saved?" This can be uncomfortable to think about. But we have to. In this passage, the writer of Hebrews gives extremely strong warnings to people who walk away from God. 

Is it "once saved always saved?" Look at this question and more in this Bible study on Hebrews 6:1-8, but be forewarned. There are strong warnings in this passage and it is one of the most controversial in the whole Bible.

The author of Hebrews throws out some real zingers in this passage. He says that the people were so lazy and lethargic spiritually he couldn't even teach them anything beyond basic level stuff.

His point is that it is time to grow up. There is something wrong with a baby that never moves past drinking milk and is stuck the same size. There is also something wrong with Christians who don't grow.

Join us in this Bible study of Hebrews 5:7-14 to learn how you can grow more in your spiritual life.

Jesus is to be the center of our lives. He is to be number one in our hearts. Hebrews 3 tells us to "consider Jesus." That is what we are doing in this Bible study. 

Is there anything that is distracting you from Jesus? Anything taking the priority over Him?

May the Holy Spirit work in each of us as we consider Jesus and His place in our lives.

Do believers have a guardian angel? That topic is interesting, but not that productive. In this passage, we learn that Jesus is better than angels.

We are beginning a new Bible study series in the book of Hebrews. The clear theme of this book is that Jesus is supreme over everyone and everything else. As we study this, may He be supreme in your life and heart as well.

In Hebrews 1:1-3, we will look at the fact that God speaks. This is some of the best news in all of Scripture. God has revealed Himself to us. We can know Him.

These verses are often quoted, reminding us to work heartily for the Lord rather than men. That is true. We should live to please God.

At the same time, we should look at the context of this passage. The context is a direction to bondservants (or slaves). What does the Bible say about slavery? Does it condone slave owners? Find out in this Bible study.

Kindness, humility, meekness, patience, love, and forgiveness are all mentioned. How are you doing in these areas? We hope this study in Colossians 3 will help you find out!

Sorry, this was posted out of order accidentally.

A baby that doesn't grow has a problem. In the same way, each of us should be growing spiritually. And spiritual growth finally results in ministry for the Lord.

In this passage, Paul tells the Colossians about how he hopes they will grow in the Lord and how he has struggled in ministry to the churches.

Hopefully this Bible study on Colossians 1:21-29 will motivate you to depend on the Lord for growth and to faithfully serve Him in the arena He has called you to.

Who wants to be described as dew or chaff? These things fade away without leaving any lasting impact. In this Bible study on Hosea 13, we learn to use our influence, creativity, and indeed everything we have for the Lord.

Feeding on the wind will not feel your stomach, but billions do it everyday. The world makes many promises, but those who chase after them find out how empty they are.

Isaiah is filled with amazing prophecies of the Messiah, all fulfilled in Jesus Christ. This passage was read by Jesus and He Himself in a synagogue and He claimed to fulfill it. 

Check out this video to learn more of this amazing prophesy, the character of Jesus, and how it applies to you today.

This was originally shared on a Zoom meeting for Guangzhou International Christian Fellowship, so the quality of video is not perfect in some parts.

This passage is a beautiful account of God's love for His people. He recounts fond memories of feeding them, nurturing them, and teaching them to walk. He held them, healed them, and led them. He was like a loving father taking care of His children. This love did not mean there were no boundaries. Some restrictions were necessary for their good.

But His people did not respond. At least they didn't respond the right way. The more He called them, the more they resisted.

This passage teaches you the Father's heart of God as well as the qualities of real love.

The Israelites had become prosperous and wealthy. From the world's perspective, they had made it. They had advanced from a tribe of nomads with very little possessions to become a nation of rich land owners. 

But the more prosperous they became, the farther they drifted from God. They became self-reliant and prideful, taking God's blessings for granted and finally turning away from Him completely. The world makes big promises, but it doesn't deliver.

The same problem confronts us today, especially those who live in more developed countries. How can you keep focused on the right priorities? How can be sure to maintain a grateful spirit? Join us for this Bible study in Hosea 10 to find out.

Hosea delivered his message to the people of Israel well over 2000 years ago. But though the world and technology have changed, people are still basically the same.

The people of his day chased after the world and its pleasures. But it did not satisfy. We do the same today.

Each of our studies focuses on the practical application of the Scripture to our lives today. The message in this Bible study on Hosea 7 still rings loud. Don't sow the wind or you will reap the whirlwind!

God asked Hosea to do the inconceivable, forgive and redeem his unfaithful wife. Hosea's marriage is a picture of God's relationship with Israel.

Gomer represents Israel's unfaithfulness and Hosea represents God's unconditional love. Representing God is a tall order. Was Hosea up for it?

Check out our Bible study on Hosea 3 to learn what love means, how to forgive, and faithfulness in action.

Israel turned to idolatry. They were repeatedly unfaithful. Judgment was coming. But God often holds judgment in one hand and mercy in another. 

Hosea 2:23 - And I will have mercy on No Mercy, and I will say to Not My People, You are my people’.

The good news is that God delights in showing mercy and forgiveness. That is great for us because it means His arms are open to welcome us back again.

The minor prophets are not often explored. But they are full of lessons for our lives today.

Hosea was not just a normal prophet with a normal message. His message would become larger than life as God used his very life as a visible object lesson. The book of Hosea is most famous for God’s command to Hosea to marry a lady who would later betray him. Hosea had to enter a covenant with her and commit himself to her, even knowing what she would become. The marriage picture of Hosea’s faithfulness and unconditional love, contrasted with Gomer’s treachery is a powerful depiction of God’s love and faithfulness to His people, and their faithlessness.

The book not only teaches us important history about Israel, but shows us amazing lessons of love, forgiveness, and commitment as well as justice. Practical lessons which are relevant to our lives today abound. Spouses will learn about the meaning of real love. Those with broken relationships will learn about forgiveness. And all will come to a deeper understanding of our own sin and a deeper appreciation of God’s mercy and grace, learning that the only place to find true fulfillment is in the arms of God.

Join us and see how God will change your life through His Word!

1 Peter was written around the time that Nero started heavily persecuting believers. Christians were scared. They had questions.

What was God's plan in this? How long would these trials last? How were they to respond to persecution?

In 1 Peter 1, Peter starts right off encouraging the believers with the fact that they have an eternal inheritance. Suffering is temporary, but salvation is eternal.

The principles he shared to encourage the 1st century believers are still true for us today. If you are facing trials, suffering, or persecution, join us in this series on 1 Peter to find strength and hope to get through.

The book of Malachi is largely filled with rebukes from God to His people. They were not honoring Him as they should. They were stingy, selfish, and sinful. Their sacrifices were pathetic.

But not everyone was like that. There was still a remnant of genuine believers. They wanted to know if they would be washed away in judgment together with the wicked. 

These verses are an assurance to them that God sees. He remembers. He will never forget His people. 

May this study on Malachi 3 and 4 encourage you as well!

It seems like a dangerous thing to rob God, but that is what the people were doing. Malachi rebukes the people for their disrespect toward God. They were stingy and disobedient.

God was not happy. 

This passage looks at the importance of giving generously. It is also the only passage in the Bible where we are told to test God. Check out the Bible study on Malachi 3 for important modern-day applications in the way we steward our finances.

The book of Malachi is largely a reaffirmation of the covenant between God and His people. The problem was that they were not honoring God as they should. They were offering lame and blind animals on the altar, saving the best for themselves and giving the worst to God. 

God was so upset with their attitude that He asked them to just shut the doors of the temple and discontinue the sacrifices!

We can learn some practical lessons from this chapter to apply to our lives today, specifically in the area of stewarding our finances. What is your attitude about money and are you using it the way God wants?

Would a shepherd invite a wolf to spend the night with the sheep? It seems crazy. But that is what the people were doing during the time of Nehemiah.

I have been on prayer walks before. But until I read Nehemiah 11-12, I had never heard of a praise walk. 

They hold this special event to dedicate the newly built temple wall to the Lord. It is a day of celebration as well as remembrance. God has blessed them. In response, they praise Him.

This passage encourages us to never forget what God has done for us. Perhaps we need to dedicate something to the Lord. Perhaps we should go on a praise walk!

Nehemiah 9 is a very helpful chapter. It follows a grand celebration of the entire assembly of Israel. Now they assemble again to read the Word. This time they are convicted and begin spontaneous confession of sin. 

God worked in their lives through the Word of God. They opened their hearts and heard from Him. Then they responded.

God wants to use this passage to work in our hearts today. What do we need to confess? How does our attitude toward God's Word need to change?

I really enjoyed studying Nehemiah 8. It shows the importance of our attitude toward the Word of God. The people respected Scripture. They stood for hours to listen to the reading and explanation of it. 

However, they didn't only listen. As they listened, God's Word changed their heart and attitude. They did not walk away the same but made major changes to their lives.

That is the power of the Bible in our lives. When we study it, we will not be the same. It is living and active. The Spirit convicts us.

Nehemiah had faced and handled intense opposition from outside. Now the nation faced an internal crisis. The rich were exploiting the poor. They were taking advantage of others because they could. Not only was this practice against the law, it threatened the very existence of the Jewish remnant.

When Nehemiah heard of this problem, he quickly mobilized to deal with it. The methods he used were quick and decisive. 

We can learn from this Bible study on Nehemiah 5 the importance of taking decisive action to deal with temptation. Other lessons include accountability, being doers of the word, and leadership.

Serving God is often not easy. Nehemiah was serious about helping God's people. He had spent months planning, preparing, and praying. God opened the door for him to go to Jerusalem with the blessing of the king and rebuild the walls. The people were united and the work began. Everything seemed to be going well.

But where God is working, his enemies are also active. Nehemiah faced extremely intense opposition. His enemies persevered in foiling his mission. How did he respond? How does his example encourage us today? 

If you are encountering opposition in your service for the Lord, this chapter is for you!

Daniel 11 prophecies hundreds of years of war between the Seleucid and Ptolemy dynasties. Israel was caught between a rock and a hard place, with the King of the North (Seleucids) on one side and the King of the South (Ptolemies) on the other.

God told them what to expect so that their faith could remain strong even in times of trial. 

When we face trials today, we can also remember that God controls the future and has a plan for us.

Daniel 7 begins a transition in the book from the narrative account of Daniel's life in Babylon to a record of the dreams and visions God gave him. These can be challenging and complex. 

For many years, I shied away from the second half of Daniel because of its difficulty level. And I wrongly assumed it wasn't very practical. 

After taking the time to study it now, I am glad I did! The message of these chapters is glorifying to God and immensely practical. At the same time, it is fascinating. We hope you continue studying with us through the rest of the book as we believe it will be well worth your time.

Daniel 6 is one of the most famous Sunday School stories in the Bible. It is one of the first stories we teach our kids. But Daniel 6 is filled with lessons for adults. 

His enemies desperately tried to find any dirt they could on him. But in the end the only "problem" they could dig out was that he prayed too much.

They then convinced the king to pass one of the most bizarre laws ever enacted. See how Daniel responds to that law and what lessons we can apply to our own lives today in this Bible study of Daniel 6.

Daniel 5 Bible study covers the events of the last night of the Babylonian empire, before its defeat at the hands of the Persians. Daniel is now an old man and seasoned after many decades of service to Babylonians kings. 

However, the new king is not a fan. He only turns to Daniel for help in interpreting the handwriting on the wall as a last resort. Daniel never misses an opportunity to be a testimony for God in the court and this is no exception. He lectures the king about his pride and rebellion toward the Lord.

From Daniel's communication, we can learn important lessons on boldness and wisdom as well as how to faithfully shine the light in the darkness.

A major theme in the book of Daniel is God's interaction with King Nebuchadnezzar, who features heavily in each of the first 4 chapters. The king rules over a great empire and it is has gone to its head. God repeatedly teaches him lessons in humility, but Nebuchadnezzar has not yet learned them.

The bad news for the ruler is that pride goes before the fall and he is going to have a great fall. The good news is God is not yet done teaching him.

Will Nebuchadnezzar repent? Is he saved? And what do the lessons he learns in this passage have to do with our life today? 

Those are some of the questions this Bible study on Daniel 4 look at.

Daniel 3:1-15 Bible study continues to look at the life of the Jewish exiles in Babylon. Things are getting worse. Now all the officials in the entire kingdom are being forced to bow to a newly minted idol, showcasing Nebuchadnezzar's power and glory.

The massive crowds are commanded to worship the idol at the signal. There is nowhere to hide, nowhere to run. When all of the others kneel down, the Jewish youth will be discovered. They have no choice but to give in to the powers that be. Or do they?

The faith and courage of these young men is the backbone of one of the most well-known stories in the Bible. Their examples can teach us many things today, including how to stand up to peer pressure.

We hope you enjoy this inspiring study and are transformed by it.

The last passage ended with Daniel praying in his home for help while the king was threatening to kill him and all the other wise men in the city. In Daniel 2:19-49, we see God's answer to prayer.

He has a message for Nebuchadnezzar, teaching him that God alone is sovereign and on the highest throne. His kingdom alone endures forever. The Lord wants Nebuchadnezzar to learn humility.

And He has a message for us. Although Daniel is still but a youth, he once again finds himself standing in front of the king. This time, a wrong word will mean the death sentence of hundreds, maybe thousands. 

How will Daniel react? What will he say? And how should his example influence our lives today?

Philippians 4:1-9 Bible study looks at the importance of unity, prayer, and the thought life for the believer. Our sin causes spiritual entropy as the natural tendency is for disunity and conflict. 

Maintaining unity in the church can be hard work. We have different backgrounds, experiences, personalities, and opinions. That is a challenge. But it is also beautiful to see so many different parts working together in harmony.

Following Christ is about being on His team with Him as the head. 

We hope you will join in with us in study of this passage as you consider how to improve your relationships in the family of God and strive for greater harmony.

Philippians 3:1-11 Bible study looks at a practical passage where Paul goes through and discusses his worldly achievements and status and how he views those things through the light of the gospel.

Christians are often viewed as weak or having a lack of confidence. And in modern culture, assertiveness is viewed as a strength. But are Christians weak? Do we have confidence? Or does that confidence just come from somewhere else? 

These are some of the questions we look at in this practical Bible study. This passage in Philippians 3 can help you develop a proper view of yourself.

Philippians is a book filled with practical points on Christian living. Many of these practical applications on Christian living come directly from the life of Paul. He shares many of his own experiences with the Philippians as well as what God is doing in the middle of these experiences, and how God is using them in His life and for the kingdom.

The church was doing very well so apparently didn’t have a lot of need to have the foundation of the gospel or basic doctrines taught again. They needed to know how to apply those truths to their lives.

In this Bible study on Philippians 1:19-30 we also will learn how to respond to trials, the importance of using time well, and how to live worthy of the gospel.

Are you satisfied with your prayer life? One survey of 860 church pastors said the following: just 16 percent are very satisfied with their personal prayer lives. Forty-seven percent are somewhat satisfied, 30 percent somewhat dissatisfied and 7 percent very dissatisfied.

The passage today is not a complicated one.

We will look at four aspects of prayer. Each one is simple to understand. But if you practice these four aspects, you are well on your way to a fulfilling prayer life that will draw you into a close and personal relationship with the Lord.

Revelation 19:11-21 Bible study on Jesus' 2nd coming and armageddon.

I was amazed when I looked up a survey which said that 79% of Americans believe Jesus will return to the earth someday. It was surprising to me that so many people say they believe Jesus will return to earth, but then they live as if He won’t.

Perhaps they think that when He comes back, everybody will enter paradise and it will be one big happy reunion.

But what will really happen when Jesus returns to the earth?

Today we are studying the Return of the King. And we will see that the King who returns is very different than many people expect.

How are we supposed to prepare for that day? And how does this passage help prepare us for meeting the Lord?

Revelation 18 Bible study.

When we study Revelation it is easy to feel it is a bit alien and foreign to us. After all, it is a vision of the future. So how does the future affect our present?

Imagine for a minute that before you get married God would show you a sign marked either “successful” or “unsuccessful.” That sign would show if your marriage will be good or not. Would you want to see this sign? And if the sign said, “unsuccessful,” would that affect your decision?

The book of Revelation is like this. It shows us that people are on one of two paths. It then shows us the final destination of those paths.

Some might ask if Revelation is practical. It is extremely practical because when you know where the different paths are heading, you can make a wise decision to choose the right path.

I have titled today’s Bible study, “Two Ways.” We will see two distinct paths and the destination if you choose the wrong one.

There are many aspects of this system including political, religious, and economic. In the end times these various philosophies will unite under the banner of the one-world religion and the antichrist.

This Bible study on Revelation 17 can help you navigate a world full of mines with discernment and truth.

Revelation 16:8-21 Bible study. The last four bowl judgments are poured out upon the earth. During this time of judgment the world will be a chaotic wasteland. But even then, Satan will still be working. His demons will go out to deceive the nations.

God's people are commanded to "stay awake." Then, and now, believers need to be alert so that they will not fall be influenced by worldly ideas.

Revelation 10 Bible study looking at the transition between the sixth and seventh trumpet judgments. This chapter is a little bit surprising in that there are hints God is going to do something amazing, but John is told not to write about it. It is the only time in Revelation John is specifically told not to write what he witnessed.

Why this teaser then? Why doesn't God reveal this part of His plan to us? Should we speculate on areas that God did not reveal to us?

Jesus entered Jerusalem on Palm Sunday and was welcomed as a king. If this happened today, his visit would be livestreamed around the world and videos of His encounters there would be sure to go viral.

Though we don't have a video recording, we have something just as good. All of the most important events and teachings of Jesus' last days are recorded in Scripture for us.

As I was preparing a sermon for Palm Sunday, I realized that Jesus was very intentional in these last few days. Everything He said and did was planned out to leave a very important lesson for future generations.

The things Jesus did and talked about were very unorthodox. Many people surely felt uncomfortable. It was anything, but a normal visit by a dignitary. Join with us as we zoom out and look at some of the key encounters of Jesus over His last days before His death. The lessons we learn from Him in holy week can change our lives today.
