Come and study the Holy Scriptures with us as Father Stephen DeYoung teaches verse by verse on the podcast, The Whole Council of God.

Father Stephen holds a Ph.D. in biblical studies. And it's an Orthodox priest serving at Archangel Gabriel Orthodox Church in Lafayette, Louisiana.

So, verse eight.

Gail, you should have been here at the time.

There is an episode of this Bible study podcast that's on two verses.

I saw it the other day.

45 minutes on two verses. So, could be worse.

Has been worse. I think it was in Ephesians. I think it was two verses in Ephesians.

Anyway, back to verse eight. I know your works. See, I have set before you an open door, and no one can shut it.

For you have a little strength, have kept my word, and have not denied my name.

Okay.

So, again, see how each of these letters kind of has a motif, right, like running through it.

So this one, he mentions the keys, right?

Because he sits on the throne of David.

He has the keys of the house of David.

He can lock and lock the doors.

He says, I put an open door in front of you.

You have a little strength.

What does that mean?

All you have to do is walk through it.

Right?

You're not going to need to climb a mountain.
