A Study of Scripture

In Scripture, God speaks to us, and we can think about the Bible as a love letter from God in which He instructs us how we ought to live to achieve our full potential as His creation. The more we read it, the more we will get to know Him and the way He designed us to live, especially when we are aided with His Holy Spirit dwelling within us through faith in the Messiah Yeshua. In this five-part study, combined into one video, we will cover how to properly study Scripture, what we ought to watch out for when we're studying Scripture and how to minimize negative impact from people who don't know God. We will also define Scripture and discuss how we ought to apply our study of Scripture to our lives in faith.

This Bible Study was originally delivered on April 27, 2021 as First Fruits Ministries first ever public meeting; unfortunately it was not recorded. Because of this, I decided to cut the study into five parts and deliver it for Corner Fringe Ministries House Church Movement meeting that the pastors of our affiliate church asked me to lead. Thus, these recordings that make up this video were made in September, October, November, January and March 2022 and 2023. The recording for Part 5 was lost, so I re-recorded it in July 2023. What you see here is a recording of the second (and third) time I gave this Bible Study presentation, called "A Study of Scripture." It is now presented as a five-part series, as prepared for and delivered to Corner Fringe Ministries' House Church Movement meeting group.

A Study for Scripture, when all five parts are put together, is actually one study that constitutes the first of a four-part series on the Study of Scripture that was originally delivered in April, May, June and September 2021. "The Word of God" was the second part of the series, "The Nature of God" was the third part, and then "The Knowledge-Obedience Cycle" was the fourth part of the series. An updated version of The Word of God was recorded in July 2023 as part of First Fruits Ministries regular Bible Study series. An updated version of The Nature of God will be recorded, God-willing, in August 2023, and the "knowledge-Obedience Cycle" will also be re-recorded at a future date and added to this playlist when the time comes.

The series is produced as part of the Bible-study ministry of First Fruits Ministries, an affiliate of Corner Fringe Ministries. Bible studies take place on the last Tuesday of every month at 7:30 p.m. EST. Guests are invited to join us on zoom or in person. Visit https://firstfruits.cc for more information.

PLEASE NOTE: First Fruits Ministries' Bible Studies are lengthy because they are designed as comprehensive and coherent messages that address as many nuances of a topic as possible. You are invited to watch each message in part until you have completed them at your own pace.
