Book Studies

 
Our teaching and preaching of God’s Word is expository, meaning that we study through portions of Scripture in context to understand the meaning. Because of this many of our Bible message series are studies through books of the Bible. This includes books from both the Old and New Testaments. Select one of the series below to listen to a message from one of these book studies.

New Testament Book Studies

• The Book of Acts
  The book of Acts is one of the most critical books for understanding the Bible, but also one of the most challenging. It bridges the gap between the life of Christ recorded in the four gospels, and the epistles of Paul, helping explain the vast difference between these two portions of Scripture. These studies provide a verse by verse study ...

• The Book of Galatians

• The Book of Philippians
  This series of Bible messages is a study through the book of Philippians.

• The Book of Colossians
  This series of Bible messages is a study through the book of Colossians, a book written to correct doctrinal error.

• The Book of James
  This series of messages is a verse by verse study, from a dispensational standpoint, through the book of James.
