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.

What Do You Believe?

2026-08-01  

Presenter: Terry Swagerty

Last time we examined the Hebrew mindset. Who we are, how we relate to God, is defined by what we do, based on the principles of the Law the Prophets and the Writings. What we believe effects how we see God and what we practice in real life. Some beliefs are straight forward. Others create tension as we strive to understand the mind of YHVH. Also a short addendum Thinking Like a Hebrew.

Don't Crush Your Can

2021-10-25  

Presenter: Mark Mickelson

The choices each of us makes, very early in life, can impact our future. Some choices make little difference, but others can limit our physical potential in significant ways. This is not about what happens to us externally but about the choices that each of us makes for ourselves.

Inspiration - Trust

Psalms 37:3-5,40 NKJV

TRUST in Yehovah, and do good; dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness.

Delight yourself also in Yehovah (our Father) and He will give you the desires of your heart.

Commit your way (thoughts, conduct) to Yehovah-Father, TRUST also in Him and He shall bring it to pass.

And Yehovah shall help them and deliver them; He shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they TRUST in Him.
