This exhortation reminds us that God’s true desire is not ritual observance but hearts transformed by compassion, humility, and repentance. The message contrasts the outward righteousness of the Pharisees with the sincerity of those who recognized their need for healing and forgiveness, showing how the spirit of the law calls us to embrace mercy above all else. By looking at the ministry of Jesus—his willingness to touch the untouchable, to restore the broken, and to call sinners to repentance—we are invited to see that the gospel is not about legal performance but about God’s mercy at work in human lives. This exhortation challenges us to change our thinking, to move from pride in our own efforts toward gratitude for the gift of grace, and to carry that same spirit of mercy into our relationships and communities.

This lecture examines the rise, dominance, and decline of Rome through the lens of Bible prophecy. From its beginnings as a city of warfare and power, to its role as the fourth kingdom in Daniel’s image, Rome is traced as an empire of iron that subdued nations yet gradually decayed from within. The study highlights the continuity of Rome through its transformation into the Holy Roman Empire and its influence in shaping modern Europe, showing how history and prophecy intertwine. The talk concludes by pointing forward to the time when Christ will return to shatter the image and establish God’s everlasting kingdom, bringing an end to the ambitions of human empires and revealing the true eternal city, Jerusalem.

This series explores what it means to be called as spiritual warriors in the service of God. Drawing lessons from the Levites and their role in Israel, the classes unfold the call to sacrifice, dedication, and endurance as disciples of Christ. Listeners are reminded that this warfare is not fought with carnal weapons, but with commitment, faith, and service, under the leadership of the captain of salvation.

This series uncovers the true “Bible code”—not in hidden numbers or secret patterns, but in the living words of scripture. Listeners are invited to see how every word, phrase, and echo in God’s word carries meaning and how careful reading opens up treasures of understanding. Each class demonstrates practical tools for discovering the depth, unity, and power of the Bible, showing that its greatest code is the way it reveals the purpose of God through Christ.

This series reflects on the experiences of Israel in the wilderness as a powerful picture of the ecclesia today. Drawing from the book of Numbers, the classes trace how God shaped His people through trials, failures, and victories, showing that the wilderness journey is full of lessons for disciples of Christ. Each lecture brings out both the struggles and the hope that sustained Israel, encouraging us to live as a sanctified people, set apart to serve God with faith and endurance.

The prophecy of Daniel is not just ancient history—it is a living message that speaks powerfully to the world we live in today. This series traces the visions and experiences of Daniel, showing how his unwavering faith in God under pressure and the detailed prophecies revealed to him lay out the rise and fall of empires, the corruption of human power, and the ultimate triumph of God’s kingdom. Listeners are invited to see how the lessons of Babylon still echo in modern events and how Daniel’s visions provide a framework for understanding our own times.

This series follows the remarkable reign of King Josiah, a man who turned to God with all his heart, soul, and might. His story is one of youthful faith, rediscovery of the Word, bold reform, and enduring influence. Though he lived in a time of deep corruption, Josiah’s devotion to the law and his passion for truth prepared a generation to remain faithful even in exile. These classes explore his life as both a reformer and a foreshadowing of greater hope in Christ.

This series explores the work of the Holy Spirit as revealed in scripture, carefully separating popular misconceptions from the true, Bible-based teaching. Listeners are guided through the ways in which God has used His spirit to inspire, strengthen, and reveal His purpose, while also learning how those gifts operated in the first century and why they are no longer present today. The classes emphasize how the completed word of God now provides all that is needed for faith, growth, and encouragement.

This series is designed to help believers grow into thoughtful and diligent students of scripture. It emphasizes that Bible study is not just about gathering information, but about shaping our minds and hearts so that we may serve God faithfully. Each session introduces practical skills and methods for reading, connecting, and applying the word of God, with the aim of developing confidence and joy in personal study.
