Jacob's Ladder

This session conducts a close examination of Genesis 28:10-13 by considering the geography of the event, the greater narrative in which Jacob’s vision occurs, and especially the artistic nature of the biblical text.

Called to be Holy

In Leviticus 11:44 we learn that God commands the children of Israel to be holy as He is holy. In the New Testament, Peter repeats this commandment to believers in Christ. The reason for this commandment is so that God’s children, both Jew and Gentile, can draw near to Him.

A Depth of Understanding about Baptism

In Hebrews 6:1-2 we learn that understanding baptism is one of several “elementary teachings.” Yet, there is a depth of understanding to this “elementary teaching.” How deep is your understanding about baptism by water and Spirit?

Laying on of Hands

In Hebrews 6:1-2 we learn that “laying on of hands” is an elementary teaching. Yet, Yeshua laid hands on people to heal them. This session leads us to a higher principal regarding “laying on of hands.”

The Higher Principle of Eternal Judgment

In Hebrews 6:1-2 we learn that the knowledge of eternal judgment is an “elementary teaching.” This session leads us to a higher principal regarding eternal judgment.

Maturity and Immaturity in Christ

Mature Christians press on to perfection and strive for it. In this session we examine the concept of perfection by starting in the Hebrew Scriptures, and then turning to passages in the New Testament.

Midrash in Romans 9-11

Dr. Davis discusses the research she conducted before writing her book on Romans 9-11. She suggests that Rom 9:1-11:12 is addressed to Jewish believers, and Paul uses halachic midrash and artistry of language that the Jewish believers would have understood. For us to understand these chapters today, we must “think Hebrew, not Greek.”

Paul’s Warning about Freedom and Slavery

Galatians 5:1 declares that Christ has set us free. When did this occur, and how? And what does it mean to “be free.” Then Paul warns us not to be subject to bondage again. What does this mean?

Holy Spirit and Law

A chiastic structure in Galatians 3:1-5 offers instruction about the relationship between the Holy Spirit and the Law.

Satan's Giant Army

We first meet Satan’s giant army in Genesis 6:4. God caused a flood to destroy these evil giants but some survived, and they continue to appear in the biblical narrative. At some future time, possibly after the Millennial Kingdom, the armies of God and Satan will meet in a final battle.
