Welcome to the Bible Study. I'm Stephen Lawson, President of One Passion Ministries, and each

week I will teach verse by verse through the passage of scripture so that you can better understand the word of God

and put it into practice in your life. Join me now as we look together into this

section of the Bible. So it's good to see you. I'm so excited to step back into this and when this is

over I'm just going to have to immediately leave and head to the airport so I wish I

could just check in with everyone I had been able to say hello to.

But we'll be here next week and I won't have to go anywhere then.

So thank you for coming. Let me just tell you what we're going to do.

We started live streaming these and taping these at verse 8 of chapter 1.

And so as I travel, people are wanting to know,

when are you ever gonna go back

and do the first seven verses of the book. So we're going to go back

and do the salad. We've been in the steak and potatoes. We're going to have to go back to the original entree. But what I'd like to do today

and next week is just to cover this for completeness but I think it will have great

spiritual value for you.

So we were at this point, I guess two years ago

or maybe a little bit before then.

So this is what we're gonna do,

but these are phenomenal verses, and these are actually

are some of my very favorite verses in the entire Bible.

So let me also greet those who are watching us live stream, thank you for joining us and you're a vital

part of what is taking place. Thank you for your prayers and your encouragement and for the way you come up and encourage me as I travel
