With being sick on Saturday, this feels more like a lesson I sucked out of my thumb, but hopefully still edifying… Sorry, less formatting as well. ****** I feel like I really missed out in having not been here the last 2 Sundays. Would havebeen really interesting to hear what was discussed. This section on […]
Since didn’t really get much past v. 4 last Sunday, I will continue from there. The first section is mostly pasted from last week’s study guide, but with a few additions. Unfortunately, this is mostly commentary, as in, my processing the content behind the language here. However, what is the big picture here of this […]
Ok, well this got pretty long winded, but it introduces a lot of major topics in understanding Revelation. Hope this helps you think well about this book of Scripture. Also, I reserve the right to change my mind on some issues as I study and the Lord gives me deeper insight 🙂 Intro How do […]

I’ve never had to teach Proverbs before, and I admit it looks pretty daunting. It feels important to come to some common agreements about how to interpret Proverbs before we jump in. First of all, what section are we in? Proverbs 1-9 start with Proverbs 1:1: The proverbs of Solomon, son of David, king […]
I think most of this passage might still actually be future. For me, that makes the passage a lot more complicated. The context is the again the perceived injustice, that is, that the wicked are not being punished nor the righteous blessed. This concept really starts in the last verse of Chapter 2, and continues […]
Just FYI, Amos Mast taught this chapter…
