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.

Recent Study Topics

The Biblical Topics found on this site present studies into the Word of God. Each study may offer a pdf study paper, a video, an audio track, a YouTubeTM video, or optional support material. Three recent studies including the Why of AShortWork, our weekly Sabbath Study, and a featured Study Topic are listed below. Visit our Topics Page for additional material.

Most of us who plan to contribute to this venue are near the end of our service as members of the Ekklesia simply because of age and strength. As a result, considering the present distress in society and the ongoing deception and distress in the churches of God, we don't consider this is the time or place to stand aside. True unity is not with each other, it is with YHVH and Jesus Christ. If numbers were a consideration then most of us could have just stayed in the organization we were in when we were called.

Featured Study
Passover: Ceremony or a Meal?

2024-04-18  

Presenter: Glen White

This study has pointedly reminded me that the prism, or paradigm, through which I previously viewed these scriptures, was taught and accepted without question or any true biblical scholarship. Hopefully, the washing of water by the Word will eventually cleanse the "stream of understanding" of the residual, obscuring silt.

Inspiration

Psalms 20: 1-5 NKJV

May the LORD answer you in the day of trouble; may the name of the God of Jacob defend you;

May He send you help from the sanctuary, and strengthen you out of Zion;

May He remember all your offerings, and accept your burnt sacrifice.

May He grant you according to your heart's desire, and fulfill all your purpose.

And in the name of our God we will set up our banners! May the LORD fulfill all your petitions.
