Bible Commentaries

Exodus 20:1-26 — Chapter 20 And God spake these words, saying ( Exodus 20:1 ), Now the people said, "All that the Lord commands, we will do." All right this is what the Lord has spoken. Now these are the commandments of God. I am the Lord thy God, which have brought

Nehemiah 9:1-38 — Chapter 9Now in chapter 9: In the twenty-fourth day of this month the children of Israel were assembled with fasting, and with sackclothes, and earth upon them ( Nehemiah 9:1 ). So, again, it's quite a picturesque sight. The people have all gathered

Psalms 78:1-72 — Psalms 78:1-72 Psalms 78:1-72 is a psalm that rehearses the history of God's people. And the psalm was written in order to remind the children, the coming generation, of the works of the Lord. One of the important obligations that we have is that

Isaiah 1:1-31 — The book of Isaiah is a marvelous book of prophecy. Of course, it is the longest book of prophecy in the Bible, and it would seem that God gave to Isaiah a clearer vision of the redemptive work of Jesus Christ than any other of the Old Testament prophets.

Jeremiah 27:1-22 — Chapter 27Now Jeremiah goes on to declare that, In the beginning ( Jeremiah 27:1 ) He's speaking this to the king Zedekiah. In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah came this word unto Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,

Ezekiel 22:1-31 — Chapter 22Now, why would God do this? Chapter 22 he now tells us the things that were happening and the sins for which God's judgment was coming. Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Now, thou son of man, wilt thou judge, wilt thou judge

Joel 1:1-20 — Shall we turn in our Bibles to the book of Joel.Joel is a prophet of which we have no light of his background except what he gives to us. He is the son of Pethuel, but who Pethuel is, we don't know. So it really doesn't help us that much. Joel was a

Luke 3:1-38 — Shall we turn to Luke's gospel chapter 3.As Luke begins the third chapter, he is giving you the date of the beginning of the ministry of John the Baptist, and he uses no less than six historic references points to tell you when John began his ministry. It

Luke 7:1-50 — Let's turn now in our Bibles to Luke's gospel, chapter 7. At this point in Luke's gospel he is going to give us series of events, miracles that transpired in the life of Jesus. When he ended these sayings in the audience of the people, he entered into

John 6:1-71 — Now we have an indeterminate rate of time. Jesus was in Jerusalem when He was saying these things, they were as a result of this blind man...or the lame man, rather, who was healed there at the pool of Bethesda. And the controversy that was stirred

Acts 11:1-30 — Chapter 11 And the apostles and brethren that were in Judea heard that the Gentiles had also received the word of God. And when Peter was come back to Jerusalem, they that were of the circumcision had a fight with him, and they said, You went to men

Acts 12:1-25 — Shall we turn now in our Bibles to Acts 12 . Now about that time Herod the king stretched forth his hands to vex certain of the church ( Acts 12:1 ). There are just a lot of Herods in the Bible and it is a little difficult to keep them all straight.

Romans 9:1-33 — Paul has just closed the eighth chapter of Romans in which he has taken us into the very peaks of the spiritual experiences that are ours in Christ Jesus. Showing us that we have this glorious place in the Lord where nothing can separate us from the

2 Corinthians 12:1-21 — Chapter 12 It is not expedient [necessary] for me doubtless to glory. [But] I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord. I knew a man in Christ above [about] fourteen years ago ( 2 Corinthians 12:1-2 ), Or over fourteen years ago. (whether in

Ephesians 6:1-24 — Chapter 6Now parent-child relationships, Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right ( Ephesians 6:1 ). That "in the Lord" I think is important. If your parents are not godly and if your parents are demanding you to do things or requiring

1 Thessalonians 1:1-10 — Let's turn to first Thessalonians. Paul, the apostle, on his second missionary journey had taken Silas with him, who was commended by the church in Jerusalem as one of the leaders. When they got to Derbe, Timothy joined their evangelistic team. As they

Hebrews 3:1-19 — Shall we turn in our Bibles now to Hebrews the third chapter. Wherefore, holy brethren ( Hebrews 3:1 ), The word wherefore immediately leads us back to that which is immediately preceding, and that is the declaration of the superiority of Jesus over

Revelation 6:1-17 — Chapter 6Now in chapter six, He begins to open the scroll. And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four living creatures saying, Come and see. And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he
