Dear Heavenly Father, Thank you for being in charge of my life. I know that I am not just a lost boat drifting in a storm when I belong to You. I thank you that You are guiding me and directing me in all of my ways. Lord, when You choose me to do anything for You, please empower me and give me the grace to accomplish it. I know that my life is planned by You and that each person who comes into it, is sent by You, when I am committed to Your will. May I grow from those encounters and be a blessing to them. I ask this in the name of Jesus. Amen.

                                    Epistle of Romans bible study chapters 1 through 8

This is a study of Paul’s epistle to the Romans which presumably was written during his stay in Rome to the Roman Christians and Jews. The epistle is highly evangelical in nature and a good many verses are now used to witness to people nowadays, showing our need for a savior, namely Jesus, why we do need Him, and even how to get him. Because of the epistle’s length it is being split in two parts of 8 chapters each.

Chapter 1 is the salutation of the epistle and then warns us about the dangers of being fallen away from God because God can and will give people over to their own reprobate minds, often causing people to become harder still:

(Romans 1:1)  Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle, set apart for the gospel of God,

(Romans 1:2)  which he promised beforehand through his prophets in the...

                        Acts of the Apostles bible study chapters 1 through 7

            Here is a bible study of a very important book of the new testament, the Acts of the Apostles which describes the formation and the early history of the Christian church. This study will be in four parts due to the book’s length, 28 chapters, and I am even providing a link here to the study I did on the gospel of Luke, as many believe the books were done by the same author, and even some believe they were even one book called Lukeacts, which would as a result be 52 chapters. Here is the link to the first part of the book of Luke:

(Acts 8:1)  And Saul approved of his execution. And there arose on that day a great...

                        Gospel of Luke bible study chapters 19 through 24

Here is the last six chapters of the gospel of Luke, including Jesus’ entry to Jerusalem, His many interactions with the Pharisees and Sadducees, another chapter of end times related teaching, the last supper, and most important of all the passion of Jesus, which is where He is betrayed by Judas, tried many times, whipped and then crucified, and then raised again from the dead by God, fulfilling all the prophecies spoken of that event spoken of in the Psalms and in books like Isaiah. In going through all the suffering, dying on the cross and rising again on the third day, being raised by His Father, God, He paid all of  mankind’s debt to sin which was incurred when Adam and Eve ate the fruit that God told them not to, once and for all, defeating the devil and His schemes in the process. Now all we have to do is invite Jesus in our hearts as Lord and Savior, accepting by faith the completed...
