Matthew - Part 12: The Transfiguration | WaS Bible Study

Last week during our study in the book of Matthew, the disciples were overwhelmed when Jesus told them that He would “suffer many things” due to persecution, eventually being put to death and would then be raised from the dead. Today, we pick up where Jesus gives them even more faith-fortifying experiences that would surely convince anyone that He truly is the Son of God.

Genesis - Part 12: Sweet Dreams | WaS Bible Study

Now that Abraham has passed and his legacy lives on within his son Isaac, we pick up in Genesis where Isaac is giving his own son (Jacob) similar guidance in finding a wife that Isaac’s father gave to him. Outside of the incredibly important lore for us to learn about, this message today will be for those that need the reminder that God has a plan for your life, and He wants to open up a communication pipeline with each and every one of us.

Psalms - Part 11: Author of Everything | WaS Bible Study

Something that I’ve personally struggled with is being able to live a life of acceptance that God is truly in control. I will get preoccupied in my own understandings, essentially convincing myself that the comfort of God wasn’t available until after my last breath. Today, we will be chasing the reminder that not only is God in control, but we need to actively attempt to give our own control over to Him.

Matthew - Part 11: The Concerns of God | WaS Bible Study

Back in the book of Matthew as we follow Jesus along, we are introduced to more parables and accompanying explanations, furthering our understanding as to how Jesus goes about teaching His followers. On top of that, Jesus brings up a heavy-hitting subject that we still battle with even to this day; our personal concerns attempting to outshine the concerns of God.
