“The Genuine Love of Timothy: No One Like Him” by Greg Chandler
Few relationships in the Bible are closer than that of Paul and Timothy. As Paul saw Timothy’s spiritual maturing, he did not view him as the “future of the church,” though certainly that would be the case. Instead, he viewed him as a son in the faith and as a fellow soldier in the kingdom. His efforts proved invaluable to Paul, especially as he was imprisoned. The trust Paul had in this young ...

"Baptism and the Genuine Love of God" by Greg Chandler
The opportunity for salvation from sin is the best discovery one can make in life and, while God could have made this difficult to obtain, He did not. As Peter spoke to the crowds on the Day of Pentecost, these people realized their need for salvation. Years later, as he wrote what is now known as I Peter, the message that he gave to the crowd on Pentecost had not changed. This study will demon...

“The Connection: Genuine Love and Keeping the Lord’s Commands” by Greg Chandler
Throughout the Bible’s entirety, there is a heavy emphasis on obeying the commands given by God. In fact, Jesus stated, “If you love Me, you will keep My commandments” (John 14:15). There is, however, the danger of coming to believe that obedience to the commandments is all that is involved in loving God; such a conclusion is spiritually detrimental! This study will focus on what it means to ha...

"Gratitude" by Greg Chandler
With Thanksgiving Day quickly approaching, counting blessings should be on the mind of every American. For the people of God, this should be a daily endeavor. To emphasize the importance of thanksgiving, the biblical writers spent much time meditating on and encouraging others in the pursuit of counting blessings. In this study, we will focus on what it means to be grateful and how this can be ...

"There is no Hometown Messiah" by Greg Chandler
After all the amazing miracles associated with the prophet Elisha, it may seem a bit surprising that he has only one fleeting mention in the New Testament. As the Lord opens the scroll in Nazareth to announce Himself as the One who fulfills the Scriptures as the Messiah, His listeners are perplexed. Can it really be that “our Jesus” is the one? Cutting no slack for their lack of belief, Jesus u...

Sadly, this magnificent display of God’s power to heal and save was muddied by the ungodly actions of a man who believed a price needed to be paid for God’s kindness. This study ...
