Cutting It Right

Dealing with temptation properly requires several wisdom, perseverance, and humility--and these are all made possible by having the proper faith. We'll look at three individuals from scripture who dealt with temptation--but only one handled it right. #firstprinciples #thecuttingitrightbiblestudy

Regardless of how you look at it, you will be tempted; it's something we all have to deal with. But aside from our approach to it, what is the source, and how does it work? Join us we go back to the beginning and gather valuable insight along the way. #thecuttingitrightbiblestudy #dealingwithtemptation #justthefacts

As unfortunate as it may be, dead works are more prevalent in the church than we realize. What is this unfortunate dynamic that that has deceived many? Join us in this lesson. #thecuttingitrightbiblestudy #firstprinciples #repentamcefromdeadworks

Our focus in this lesson will be specifically concerning what repentance is--and what it is not. Also: what are the fruit and genuine results of true repentance? Join us if you can. #thecuttingitrightbiblestudy #confessionandrepentance #thefirstword

While some segments of Christianity continue to insist that confession and repentance are not necessary, we continue to strongly disagree, understanding that confession and repentance are vital components to life in Christ. Because our sin nature is yet alive, what do we do when sin does happen? We confess and repent. Join us in this lesson as we clarify the difference between the two, and look at what can happen if we fail to confess our sins. #firstprinciples #confessionandrepentance #knowingthedifference

In this lesson, we'll look at several aberrant and opposing views to heaven and the after-life, and of course learn more about the real heaven that awaits God's people. #thecuttingitrightbiblestudy #firstprinciples #heaven

Ah yes! What can we say about heaven? Though Jesus Himself spoke more of hell than heaven (from what we read in the gospels), the Bible as a whole has more to say about heaven. When its all put together, heaven will be a more than spectacular place--far, far beyond what words can adequately describe. First up, we'll look at some popular myths and misconceptions about heaven, before we get to the fine details. Join us if you can. #thecuttingitrightbiblestudy #firstprinciples #theeternalstate #heaven

In lesson 2, we'll examine several surprising aspects of the eternal state of unbelievers--keeping in mind that NO ONE NEEDS TO GO THERE! Jesus is the answer! Join us. #thecuttingitrightbiblestudy #firstprinciples #theeternalstate

What happens after death? to put it plainly, the final destinies of the saved and unsaved are very different. Our next series of lessons will deal with the eternal state. First up: an honest and straightforward look the place that is to be avoided more than any other. #thecuttingitrightbiblestudy #firstprinciples #therealityofhellandthelakeoffire

Throughout these lessons we have stressed the importance of intercessory prayer. For this reason we could not close these lessons on prayer out without looking at several of Paul's prayers for the saints. These prayers reach out to us today. They are detailed, powerful, and life-changing prayers from a man who had a burden for God's people.

The acronym P.U.S.H. is used to help us remember that we are not to give up when we pray no matter what. As we begin to wind down our series, we'll speak on this dynamic and its intricacies. Also, we'll look at a burning question, namely. Is there ever a time that we should NOT pray for someone?

We've established that prayer is essential, that it is a battle, and have stressed the importance of intercessory prayer. But how often should we pray, and who or what should be the subjects of our prayers? Yes, there is an answer. Join us for this important lesson as our series continues. #thecuttingitrightbiblestudy #firstprinciples #prayeressentials

When we pray, we must not approach the Lord haphazardly, raggedly, or irreverently--we should always remember who we are addressing. The right approach involves humility and several other factors, especially as it pertains to intercessory prayer. The right approach can mean the difference between having our prayers heard--or not. Join this important lesson on prayer with 'The Right Approach'. #thecuttingitrightbiblestudy #prayeressentials #therightapproach

Prayer is a multifaceted dynamic designed by the Lord to bless us by bringing us before the throne of heaven. In addition to blessing us, our prayers are meant to also bless others; as we pray for the needs of others, we stand in the gap on their behalf. In this lesson we look at various types of prayer, highlighting intercessory prayer. #cuttingitrightbiblestudy #firstprinciples #prayeressentials

So how's your prayer life? It's not meant to be a personal question, yet this is a question that needs to be asked--but only you can answer it. If we are honest, most of us could and should pray more than we do, but why do many never make the time? The first thing that one needs to understand about prayer is that it is a battle--before, during, and after. #firstprinciples #prayeressentials #thebattle

All that we’ve learned concerning the Church, must be lived out practically within our local church. What’s your place? In this final lesson in this subject we’ll also offer practical advice on how to know when it’s time to leave a church, and what to look for in a church. This is lesson not to be missed! #firstprinciples #thegloriouschurch

Unlike baptism, communion carries dire warnings for those who do not take it properly. But what is the proper way? Join the study tonight as we answer several hard questions about communion and reveal four things you need to remember before taking communion. #thecutingitrightbiblestudy #firstprinciples #thegloriouschurch

Communion brings us to Calvary, causing us to remember what Christ did there on our behalf. This is only one of several aspects of this ordinance. Join us for this and more in our study. #thecuttingitrightbiblestudy #thegloriouschurch

Have you been water baptized? Is there ever a case when it needs to be done twice? What is its significance? We'll answer questions and more in this lesson.

The Lord has invested much in His Church by giving gifts which are in turn to be used not just to help it grow, but also to empower us to accomplish its mission on earth. Join us at 8pm as we begin this study.
