This is an open-discussion, Christian bible study where we love, learn, and laugh. We read the Word and grow together. We put our focus into learning and speaking from the heart, with God as our foundation, as opposed to being religious and traditional--ergo, anyone asks questions, and we all get to find the specific topics in the bible and gain understanding of exactly what the scripture means. Hosts: Myreah Eley, Marcus "caDASHtrophe" Eley, Vickey Davis, Tyeesha Davis eleybiblestudy.com el ...

You are not your own. for you were bought with a price.

Are you under the impression that Christianity is all about a dull life filled with duties and rules? Let's shift that perspective together!

Faith is about recognition of our own…

The resurrection body will be imperishable and glorious. How else will it be different from our present bodies? Your body will be powerful: “It is sown in weakness; it is raised in power” (1 Cor. 15:43). Donald Macleod says that the resurrection body is going to have more energy, more stamina, more athleticism, more speed, more coordination, and mo…

Faith, as Pastor Colin beautifully illustrates, is not merely a positive outlook or self-confidence, It's a lived experience of trust and reliance on God, especially when faced with the impossible. Abraham and Sarah's story exemplifies faith, offering us a timeless lesson that true faith begins with acknowledging our own limitations and looking to …

We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet.

What do we know about …

Our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior. the Lord Jesus Christ. who will transform our lowly body to be like his glorious body. by the power that enables him even to subject all things to himself. Philippians 3:20-21 The human body is lowly. The human body, at its strongest, is still fragile. Even if you are really fit, and you …

We know that the whole creation has been groaning together in the pains of childbirth until now. And not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the irstfruits of the Spirit. groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for adoption as sons. the redemption of our bodies.

In today's episode, we delve into the The Lord's Supper (Communion), exploring the question: Where is the meal in this humble supper of wafer (bread) and wine? What does it mean to truly 'feed' on Christ? How do we engage in the nourishment of our souls through such a minimal feast? Pastor Colin guides us through the essence of this ceremony, revea…

The Word became lesh and dwelt among us. John 1:14 God became a man in Christ Jesus. The body of Jesus was like ours. He grew in strength—from a baby, to a child, to a man—and He knew what it was like to be hungry, thirsty, and weary. The first heresy, the first false teaching that the early church had to contend with, was not the denial that Jesus…

Today we delve into an enlightening discussion on the essence of the Christian life—that it is God's work in which we become involved, rather than our work in which He becomes involved.

“Show me Your glory.” These words not only ended our last episode of OOBT but are also the ones we pick back up with today as well. Not only does Moses have the opportunity to see God’s glory, but he also comes back down from Mt. Sinai with a radiant face from spending time in God’s presence. Wow! Just wow. We also hear the words God used to descri…

The LORD God formed the man of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life. and the man became a living creature. Genesis 2:7 God made the body of Adam from the dust of the ground, and then He breathed the breath of life into this body. So, Adam was the union of a body and a soul. This is the reason that the Bible sometim…

In Galatians Chapter 5, verse 6, we read that faith's true essence is revealed through actions of love rather than faith alone. But why is this distinction so vital?

I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. Revelation 21:2 There will be no marriage in heaven (Matt. 22:30), but we will still be male and female, because that is how God created us and it was good. The gift of marriage was given to point to something greater that God has in…

In this broadcast, Pastor Colin delves into the importance of actively engaging with the scripture as it's the fundamental means by which God communicates with us.

Today, Pastor Colin illuminates the importance of how we listen to God's Word, proposing that the manner in which we engage with scripture is reflective of our relationship with God.

"Behold, I am making all things new." Revelation 21:5 Life in the new heaven and new earth will not be less than the life you have now. It will be more! The word "new" can be used in two ways. The first is to say, “I’m moving to a new house.” You are in a different place, and there is no continuity between your old house and your new house. The sec…

Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth. Revelation 21:1 Satan’s master strategy is to have people think that what lies ahead will be far less than what we have now. He wants you to believe that your life would be less if it were in God’s hands. If you believe the life you have now is better than the future life you will have in the presence of God…

It's wonderful to have you with us as we delve into the essence of faith and its role in our justification. Pastor Colin explains that faith is the profound bond that unites us to Jesus Christ.

“Father, I desire that they also, whom you have given me, may be with me where I am, to see my glory." John 17:24 Will we see our believing loved ones in heaven? Yes.
