Luke
Jerry Edmon
The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever; his kingdom will never end. This announcement seems to follow the same pattern as the announcement of John's birth and is also about the fulfillment of God's promises.
Romans
Jerry Edmon
Paul greeted the Saints in Rome. He declared that the gospel of Jesus Christ was the power of God unto salvation for everyone who believed, whether Jew or Greek (Gentile). Without the Atonement of Jesus Christ, the wrath of God rested upon those who were guilty of sins. The global message of Romans is that all people everywhere have free access to the riches of God's grace in Christ as they respond in faith to the gospel.
1 Corinthians
Jerry Edmon
The central verse is “Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. Let all that you do be done in love (1 Corinthians 16:13-14).” God matures us in Christ so that we are rooted in the gospel and motivated by love in all we do.
2 Corinthians
Jerry Edmon
That we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble: One great purpose of God in comforting us is to enable us to bring comfort to others. God's comfort can be given and received through others. i. Often, we never receive the comfort God wants to give us through another person.
Galatians
Jerry Edmon
The churches at Galatia received Paul’s message of Grace through faith and not works. Religion is summed up in trying to be like God without him.
Ephesians
Jerry Edmon
The theme of this letter is to establish and complete his body, the church of Jesus Christ. More to establish a righteousness consciousness, and lay the foundation for our identity in Christ. I call it hard-core theology. Her deals with our position, our behaviors that disrupt Kingdom principles He ends with the idea of being equipped for daily warfare.
Philippians
Jerry Edmon
The design of this letter doesn’t develop one “single” idea from beginning to end like many of Paul’s other letters. Rather, Paul has arranged a series of short, reflective, essays or vignettes, and they all revolve around the center of gravity in this letter, which is a poem in chapter 2. It artistically re-tells the story of the Messiah‘s, incarnation, life, death, resurrection, and exaltation.
Colossians
Jerry Edmon
Colossians chapter 1 is mostly focused on describing Christ as supreme. Jesus is not only the God of creation, He is the ultimate authority over all created things. The penalty for sin has been completely removed because of His perfect sacrifice.
1 Thessalonians
Jerry Edmon
Paul reconnects with the people of Thessalonica
2 Thessalonians
Jerry Edmon
Tribulation and persecution have gotten worse. But why? These people received a tremendous word from the teachings of Paul and Mark chapter four tells us that when the word is sown, Satan comes immediately with affliction and persecution to steal that word.
1 Timothy
Jerry Edmon
Paul teaches about the need for prayer and proper worship. He teaches that Jesus Christ is the ransom for all and is our Mediator with the Father. He instructs men and women on how to conduct themselves during worship. He outlines the qualifications for bishops and deacons.
2 Timothy
Jerry Edmon
Paul speaks of the gift and power of God that is received through the laying on of hands. He teaches that “the spirit of fear” (2 Timothy 1:7) does not come from God and that we should not be ashamed of our testimony of Jesus Christ.
Titus
Jerry Edmon
Paul's letter to Titus urged him to remind Cretan believers that while they live in a sinful culture, they can be transformed into a new humanity by the same grace that Jesus demonstrated when he died to redeem them. As a new humanity, they can reject a lifestyle that is inconsistent with God's generous love.
Philemon
Jerry Edmon
Shortest but one of the most explosive things that Paul wrote Phi-le-mon well to do Roman from Golossae Likely met Paul in Ephesus Later when Paul’s co-worker, Epaphras started a church in Colossae, Philemon became the leader of that house church Phi-le-mon like all patriarchs in the Roman world owned slaves.
Hebrews
Jerry Edmon
The book of Hebrews compares and contrasts Jesus to key historical people and events from the Hebrew Bible. Through these comparisons, we see his superiority. He is greater than the angels, the Torah, Moses, the promised land, earthly priests, sacrifices, and the covenant.
James
Jerry Edmon
James encouraged the disciples to find joy in their trials. Trusting God through difficult times was good for their faith, and through their steadfastness, they would become “perfect and complete” (mature) in Christ
1 Peter
Jerry Edmon
Peter gives persecuted Christians a powerful reminder that they have hope in the midst of their suffering. From the time of Abraham, God's people were a misunderstood minority and should expect to face hostility because they live under King Jesus' rule.
2 Peter
Jerry Edmon
This means that the promises of God are based upon His glory and virtue, and therefore perfectly reliable because God can never compromise His glory and virtue.
1 John
Jerry Edmon
James encouraged the disciples to find joy in their trials. Trusting God through difficult times was good for their faith, and through their steadfastness, they would become “perfect and complete” (mature) in Christ
2 John
Jerry Edmon
2 John reminds the Church of the commandment to love one another. He warns of false teachers and deceivers within the Church and counsels Church members to not allow them to remain in their congregations.
3 John
Jerry Edmon
The passage highlights the need for Christians to support each other so that missionaries and evangelists don't depend on the support of non-believers. John's words also speak against church leaders who are more interested in reputation and power than submission to the truth.
Jude
Jerry Edmon
The book of Judah illustrates God's judgment on rebellion while warning against the rebels who are corrupting other people. Judah then challenges the church to contend for the faith and stay faithful to God.
Revelation
Jerry Edmon
Revelation 1 describes a vision of the Lord Jesus Christ, unveiling aspects of the Savior's power and eternal mission, including the reassuring truth that the Lord labors among and with His faithful servants. It declares the theme of the book which is "The Revelation of Jesus Christ".
