A Venue for Biblical studies for the Ekklesia
Approved worker Trusting in YHVH Receiving the Word The Word of God Growing in Grace and Knowledge

Welcome

This web site is a venue for biblical studies based on a common understanding of God the Father and Jesus Christ that is not restricted by the culture and environment of being a church. There is only one Ekklesia but there are many corporations. The historical environment of the Churches of God is generally that you could believe whatever you wanted as long as you kept it to yourself, but open differences were not going to be considered. If we are growing in biblical knowledge and understanding, then what we teach now, and in the future, will be somewhat different from what we taught in the past. Also, what one teacher offers may be different from another one. We are imperfect beings with imperfect understanding so a range of perspectives will be shared. In the end though, all teachings must be weighed against the consistency of the record of scripture.

In Pursuit of the Ideal

2026-06-20

Terry Swagerty

In one sense the Bible is the history of humanity pursuing the ideal but failing. Actually, mankind rejected the ideal given by YHVH in favor of pursing self-will. Most unfortunate. This is one last look at Ephesians in my current series with focus on human relations: husband/wife; parent/child; master/servant.

Featured Video Study
Are You a Tree of Life?

2023-12-02  

Presenter: Michael Nelte

Proverbs 11:30 The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life. What is it that we are expected to do to produce a tree of life? What does this even mean? I plan to focus on one area we can be working on. It certainly is an area I need to be working on. In principle it is simple, yet at times it can be excruciatingly hard to put into practice, and to apply with the help of the Holy Spirit fully and perfectly.

Inspiration - God is true

John 3:33-36 NKJV

He who has received His (Christ's) testimony has certified that God (Theos-Father) is true.

For He whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God doesn't give the spirit by measure.

The Father loves the Son and has given all things into His hand.

He who believes in the Son has everlasting life...
