It is not unusual for believers to run from God by way of leaving Him knocking at their heart's door. Jonah is the classic example of a believer who remained in a state of resistance to God's call to serve. Jonah is a prophet with self-inflicted wounds from the heart of pride. Yet, God shows himself faithful and determined.
The lesson we learn from the book of Jonah is that God does not offer a plan "B". He offers no alternative... only an ultimatum. Any seduction that diverts your yielding to the Holy Spirit will only bring about disillusionment, staleness and death. THIS STUDY IS A MUST FOR BIBLE TEACHERS AND CHRISTIAN COUNSELORS.

The Gospel According To Matthew has a unique place in the Word of God. It is the first book of the New Testament that introduces Jesus Christ to the world and in particular, to the nation Israel. With Matthew, we are transferred from the Old to the New. From the letter of the law to a better law. From the ten commandments to the Tender Commander.
In essence, the gospel of Matthew can be summed up as:
I. The Theme: Jesus Is King
II. The Theology: The Kingdom Of Heaven
III. The Theologian: Matthew
A MUST STUDY EMPHASIZING RIGHTLY DIVIDING THE WORD OF TRUTH.

The Book of Romans has been long considered "The Constitution of Christianity." Engage a verse-by-verse study of Romans. A MUST FOR BIBLE TEACHERS.
The apostle Paul expounds the power and perfection of the Gospel with three essentials throughout the book of Romans. These Three essentials form the basis of our study of Romans:

The epistle of Philemon was written by the apostle Paul while imprisoned in Rome. There are three main characters (Paul, Philemon, and Onesimus) that Paul himself used to focus on the important doctrine of "The Believer in Christ".
The point Paul makes dogmatically with Philemon is that there is neither bond nor free... we are equal in Christ. Paul is asking Philemon to forgive Onesimus as Christ has forgiven him.
A must study for pastor's, Christian counselors and for personal understanding of biblical forgiveness. Engage a verse-by-verse study of Philemon on Christ-Like forgiveness which is the ultimate hallmark of Christlikeness.

The Epistle of James, no doubt, is the most practical book in the New Testament. It is rightly considered the Proverbs of the New Testament. The epistle of James was likely the first New Testament book written. The emphasis is faith that is believable.
James does not teach salvation by faith and works; he teaches SALVATION that does work. The key verse of James is chapter one verse seventeen. Our very existence hinges on the reality and reliability of that powerful verse. Like Proverbs... the emphasis of James is wisdom... it is the principal thing.
The apostle James expounds his epistle with 5 essentials:
Epistle of James verse by verse
A must study for pastors and church leaders.

Peter's first epistle is one of the most inspiring letters of the New Testament. He is emphatic on the matter of the faithfulness and character of Jesus Christ. At the time of Peter's first epistle, Christians were savagely treated. Peter seeks to comfort them and conform them to the reality of the power of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
This epistle gives a meaningful challenge for every believer of every age who may suffer for the cause of Christ to know that their suffering cannot be compared to the glory that is yet to be realized in heaven. The theme of this epistle revolves around the conclusion that Jesus Christ is most precious to every blood bought believer.
What Peter Emphasises Is A Must For Your Thinking
A must study for Church Leaders who exemplify joy in suffering. AMAZING STUDY.

This 26th book of the Bible is written by Jude, the brother of James. It is very likely that Jude wrote his epistle somewhere between A.D. 65-80.
Jude writes to Believers whose fellowship was permeated by false teachers. Many were being falsely guided by false teachers which had already arrived on the scene of the local church at the time of Jude’s epistle. In light of the efforts of these false teachers to dilute fundamental doctrine, Jude demands that his readers stand deliberate in their defense of the Word of God. It is no wonder why Jude is known as The Fighting Apostle. A must study for Church leaders.
