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.

The Names Written on the Gates of the New Jerusalem

2026-06-06

Steve Minard

When the New Jerusalem comes down out of heaven, Revelation 21:12 tells us that the names on the gates of the city will be the names of the twelve tribes of Israel. What do these names mean? Could there be some hidden message in the names of the sons of Israel? Could they describe a prophetic relationship that the Israelites and all of mankind will have with our Father?

Does God Love You?

2024-05-18  

Presenter: Terry Swagerty

You might ask, "What kind of question is that. Everyone knows God so loved the world that he sacrificed his son Jesus so we might obtain eternal life." OK, is that the end of the story? No further obligations for God or man? Let's take a closer look.

Inspiration - Holy Spirit

Romans 8: 26,27 NKJV

Likewise, the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself (Father) makes interventions for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

Now He who searches the heart knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God.
