➤ Genuine Faith SERIES —A series of studies about the qualities and basis of a genuine faith in Christ.

➤ The Good Man Cornelius —One of the most interesting cases of conversion recorded in the Bible.
➤ Busting the Faith Only Myth —The idea that we are “saved by faith alone” is a widespread myth. We are not saved by faith alone. Your salvation depends on busting this myth and knowing the truth.
➤ Of What is Baptism a Sign? —It is said that baptism is an outward sign of inward grace, a sign that the Holy Spirit has quickened the heart, implanted faith, and granted salvation. Is this true?
➤ How Our Faith is Tested — We can have a conquering faith in Jesus though we are tested by many tribulations. True faith stands the test and wins victory.
➤ Don't Trust These, Trust Jesus —There are several things that people put their trust in, but those things are not worthy of trust. Instead trust Jesus. He won't let you down.

➤ Ten Deep Things John 1:1-17 —The first 17 verses of John’s account of Jesus, point to ten deep things. They are listed with a brief comment on each. Presented in two parts. This is PART 2
➤ Grace and Works —This lesson shows that when our good works are combined with faith, then our faith is validated, and through that faith we are saved by grace. Whilst our obedience in good works does not earn our salvation, nevertheless without that obedience we will not be saved by grace.
➤ Faith and Science —We consider Science and Faith, addressing three issues that relate to Christian faith and science. They are: Evidence, Essence, and Enemies.
➤ Faith is the Victory: What 1st John Says About Faith —John emphasises two important characteristics of Christians who have true faith.
➤ The Hearing of Faith (Romans 10:16-18) —Faith is essential to salvation. But hearing God’s word is essential to faith. You cannot just make up your own personal faith and truth. God's word must be conveyed to you from the inspired writings of the apostles of Christ who preached that word.
➤ Mary's Magnificat - Psalm of Praise —Mary the mother of Jesus visited her sister, Elizabeth the mother of John the Baptist. Mary uttered a beautiful Psalm known as the Magnificat. Its themes are praise, humility, joy, fear, faith, mercy, strength, promise, and blessing.

➤ The Importance of Scripture —The Bible is important. It matters that we believe it. This lesson will show three reasons why the scripitures are so basic to the Christian's faith. The Bible is the throbbing heart of our faith. Tear out that heart, and our belief system is dead.
➤ Why Do You Call Me Lord? —When Jesus was preaching, he asked this revealing question of his audience. 'Why do you call me Lord, Lord, yet don't do what I say?' (Luke 6:46). Apparently there were people who paid lipservice to Jesus but did not obey him.
➤ The Way Back (1) —In the Bible, we read of 'the Way,' but in common speech it may be called 'the Way back' for the Bible Way is the Way back to God. Yet people in this world will not admit their sinfulness; they are self-righteous, thinking they are good enough to get into heaven.
➤ Jesus the Author and Perfector —Jesus is an author who finishes his work. His work is our faith enduring through many trials until finally glory comes and we live happily ever after. Every day Jesus is helping this story to be finished, and we should consider how he is doing this.
➤ The Faith of Abraham —Following from the previous lesson, we continue to let the Hebrew writer focus our minds on the quality of the faith authored and perfected by Christ.
➤ The Shield of Faith Ephesians 6:10-17 —Some preach only love, grace, hope, comfort, peace, and suchlike. They preach only what is positive to make people feel good. But we must also reprove and rebuke. We must do so in patience and truth, yet we must do so nevertheless (2Timothy 4:2).
➤ Law and Faith —Examining the relationship between faith in Jesus Christ and obedience to his law.
➤ His Faith Was Complete —The story of the ten lepers in Luke 17:12-19, will help us examine our faith.
➤ Faith That Pleases God —The faith that pleases God is a belief that comes from God, not from some other source or from within ourselves.

➤ Patience and Faith —Not only is God patient toward us, but we must have patience toward God in our believing, keeping, and waiting.
➤ Faith and Obedience —Paul begins and ends his letter to the Romans with a statement of his mission. It is “to bring about obedience of faith” (Romans 1:5, l6:26).
➤ A Law of Faith —Paul’s teaching about being justified by faith rather than by law is not an easy topic, so I keep this lesson short, to the point, and as simple as possible.
➤ Stanap Strong Jemes 1:1-8 —Lesen ya i kamaot long tok long Baebol long Jemes japta 1. Jemes i talem yumi se yumi mas stanap strong long taem we trabol i kam long laef blong yumi. Nao God i givim bigwan waes mo bilif long yumi.
➤ Fighting for the First Faith (Jude 1:3-4) —A sermon from Jude 1:3-4. Jude is concerned that people should contend earnestly for the faith that had already been delivered to the saints, and beware of false teachers.

➤ Hard to Hear God SERIES —These pages present things the Bible teaches that are hard sayings, and people do find them hard to hear. The truth is not always soft and easy. Sometimes it is hard and difficult. But it still needs to be believed and taught.
➤ How God Helps Us Keep His Commandments —An encouraging aspect of the providence of God.
➤ Pleasing God —Once you become a Christian, you have a duty to God as much as he has a duty to you. God will bless you in every way, but you must respond by doing what pleases him.
➤ God be Thanked —Exposition of Romans 6:17-18. About faith’s power (by grace) to liberate from enslavement to sin and then progress to full establishment in Christ.
➤ Buried With Christ —Can the enslaved sinner have faith so as to make the transition into the saved state? If so, what act marks the critical point where faith so liberates?
➤ I Love God and My Country —I love God and my country, I will honour the flag, I will serve the King and cheerfully obey my parents, teachers and the law.
➤ Edified by Superior Thought —Continuing Paul's theme, 'We worship God in the Spirit, and glory in Christ Jesus, and put no confidence in the flesh' (Philippians 3:3). we consider what kind of thinking edifies the spiritually minded.
➤ What if They'd Said No? —The story in Acts 22, of Saul's conversion to become the apostle Paul, shows a chain of command: God to Jesus, Jesus to Ananias, Ananias to Saul. All three men obeyed the directives given them. What if they had not?
➤ Sweet Will of God —God has willed that all obey his decrees, that all repent of sin, that Christ die for all.
➤ A New Standard of Love: What 1st John Says About Love~1 —Jesus Christ is the origin and example of true godly love. Love does not smile sweetly at sin. Rather, love demands obedience to God’s word.
➤ The Way Back (2) —To be saved, sinners must go further on the Way of Salvation than Faith. Peter said: 'Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost (Acts 2:38).
➤ Adventures of Abraham —We look at the sojourns and adventures of Abraham himself, along with his wife Sarah, his nephew Lot, and Lot’s wife (Genesis 12-22).
➤ Disobedience —Highlights a bewildering characteristic of the wilderness Israelites, namely their frequent acts of disobedience to God (Numbers 10-36).
➤ Solomon’s Sin and Sorrow —Factors behind Solomon’s sin and fall from glory: his excess, his disobedience, his neglect, and his several faults.
➤ Solomon’s Great Mistakes —James's message is not against doing business, but against the arrogance of thinking you are in control of your life. God is in control, not you. He can allow your business to fail, and even your life to disappear, when you least expect it (James 4:13-17).
➤ Adam's Predicament —In this lesson we consider the nature of Adam’s sin, condemnation, and forgiveness. At first sight Adam’s fall from grace seems straightforward to understand. Yet people have very different views of it. I hope this lesson will clarify the nature and consequences of Adam’s error and his hope of forgiveness.
➤ Doing Right Wrongly —When we serve God, we may do what we prefer, or we believe to be best, instead of trying to understand what God wants. If so, we will be doing right wrongly.
➤ Growing in Faith (2Thessalonians 1:3) —Paul is greatly encouraged by the church of the Thessalonians. He says, ¶ 'We are bound to always give thanks to God for you, brothers, just as it is appropriate to do, because your faith grows exceedingly...' (2Thessalonians 1:3). These opening words of Paul describe a kind of faith that is widely forgotten today.
➤ Seven Goals in Grace (2Thessalonians 1) —An inspirational lesson in 2nd Thessalonians chapter 1, joining the first five verses with the last two.
➤ 1st Peter 1 —1st Peter chapter 1 rendered in simple clear sentences. Readings entitled “Our Hope of Salvation” and “Obeying the Truth”.
➤ Praiseworthy Conduct —Our conduct must fit our faith in Christ’s sacrifice for our sins, and fit our purpose which is to bring praise and glory to God.
➤ Grace and Righteousness —We should all keep in mind such important things as the promises of God, our faith in Christ, and God’s grace toward us. But we should also keep in mind that these have strong connections to other important things like God’s commandments, our obedience, and our righteousness.
