This second book in the series on Luke's Gospels contains stories placing the reader in the scene as Jesus taught His disciples lessons they needed to conduct their own effective ministries. Lessons we would be wise to pay attention to, study, and put into effect today. This books concentrates on the series of parables Jesus taught. Over a hundred years ago, authors and scholars discovered how those parables were linked. Not only parable to parable, but to the people Jesus taught that day. Once the student of scripture realizes how God's Spirit linked those parables to one another, the people...

This third and final book in this series on Luke's Gospel begins with a few parables about money, honesty, and effects money has on people as well as religion. The last few chapters in this series deal with Jesus' ministry inside the temple courtyard. This is where Jesus made His final plea to the religious leaders as well as last minute instructions for His disciples before He began that long walk to Golgotha. The first two series on Matthew and Mark's Gospels raised a number of questions. The question foremost in my mind has been, why Jesus' disciples didn't understand the prophecies He was...

As lessons Jesus taught progressed in the Gospel of Mark, it became evident, God desired a close relationship with Jesus' followers. As the Son of God, Jesus shared this desire. In His human form, Jesus showed how He desired a close relationship, reflecting our need for a close relationship. Created in God's image, this is one of the basic desires of life. Then it became evident relationships are a key factor in God's plan of salvation. Without relationships God's plan is lost. Misunderstanding of scripture combined with lack of a genuine relationship with Jesus led to the disciple's lack of...

It didn't take long for the first few chapters of John's Gospel to reveal how John recorded a series of detailed stories showing the methods Jesus used to reach out to individuals and groups of people. John's unique way of recording details showed how Jesus prepared for each meeting and how He developed a personal connection with the people He was able to reach. In chapter 3, Jesus used one method to reach Nicodemus, the religious teacher. In the next chapter, Jesus used an entirely different method to talk to the unnamed woman at a well in Samaria. The amazing thing about those two stories...

This book completes my series on the Gospels. I have to admit, it has been quite an experience over the past few years. I've found how God communicates with us. He speaks to us through our thoughts. He uses events in our life to teach lessons. I paid attention to how events were arranged to put me in the proper emotional state for the story at hand. I have to admit, I am really going to miss writing about Jesus' ministry recorded in the Gospels. This last book takes a closer look at Jesus' sacrifice and those days leading up to it. John had a way or recording the right details for us to see...

This book belongs in the hands of every Christian. This is the first in a series covering over 160 of the prophecies in the Old Testament that Jesus fulfilled. The condition of the world at this time dictates the urgency of this message. When we hear Egypt and Syria in the news, we know something is happening. No one can deny God used these as important symbols throughout the Bible. The world knows time is short. Nature shows labor signs written about over 2000 years ago. We know these physical symbols point to the fulfillment of a much greater spiritual meaning. But this book does not...

Having gone through a number of studies on the prophecies Jesus fulfilled in the first book, patterns begin to emerge and lessons built one upon another. Simple study processes such as searching New Testament texts to find the fulfillment of a prophecy were covered, explained, and practiced. Prophecies introduced and identified symbols. New Testament texts explained the spiritual meaning of each symbol. Every series of lessons added new study techniques taught by scripture. Later lessons showed how study involved more than comparing a few texts to reveal a lesson. Scripture showed how entire...

As you go through this third book in this series, you'll see how God arranged each prophecy with a written interpretation. This book will show you how each prophecy has a parallel chapter matching the context of the chapter the prophecy is located. There is never a reason to guess at a prophecy once you learn how God's Word is arranged to provide the fulfillment for every prophecy beyond any shadow of a doubt. God put all His proof in writing with perfect consistency. None of the rules taught in the book are new. Bible Study methods taught in this book have been around since the days of...

This forth book in this series contains the heart of the prophecies located in Psalms, one of the most passionate, and numerous collections of prophecies Jesus fulfilled. The number of prophecies found in Psalms, and number of pages it takes to match their recorded fulfillment, and explain spiritual connections, does not make it economically feasible to include them all in one single book. So this collection of prophecies Jesus fulfilled has been divided into a number of smaller books ranging from about 220 to nearly 300 pages each. Understanding scripture is far easier than most people...

This fifth book in this series covers the last half of Psalms. This book covers some of the most commonly identified prophecies about Jesus such as dash your foot against the stone, the stone the builders rejected, He calms the flood, as well as the longest chapter and prophecy in the Bible, Psalm 119. This book is a good place to begin, if your used to jumping in at the middle of a story. Since this book contains a number of prophecies most people are familiar with, it should be easy to understand and come up to speed. But it is best if you begin in the first book in this series that starts...
