Welcome to the Bible Study. I'm Stephen Lawson, president of One Passion Ministries.

And each week I will teach verse by verse through the passage of scripture

so that you can better understand the word of God and put it into

practice in your life.

Join me now as we look together into this section of the Bible.

Man, we got a packed house today. This is wonderful, super.

Several, a couple of housekeeping notes before we get started. Number one, I I brought a large box of books that I just

don't have room in my library for them and so Luke here is going to help me put them out. You can just take whatever you want if that's a help to you. There's some Bibles in there

Brand new Bibles. There's just other theological books, church history books.

So just sort through it and if one catches your eye that's yours, got your name on it.

So that's number one. Number two, I just need to make an

announcement really more so for those watching. For any pastors out there So for any

any pastors out there who are watching this study, I want you to know this

January, I want to invite you to come study with me at the Master's Seminary and the Doctor of Ministry

program. And if you would like to go to the next level and you're preaching, then you need to go

online to TMS. Edu, TMS. E. And fill out an application. And I've got

coming in probably the premier New Testament scholar in the world

Thomas Shriner I have my number two favorite preacher in the world after John MacArthur

and that's Derek Thomas coming in. John MacArthur will be in the classroom. I will

be heavily teaching in the classroom. So for those of you listening to this and I

have students from Africa, South America, Australia, New Zealand, the Far East, Europe, England, Scotland, they just come from everywhere.
