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. All right, well let's get started and as we do I want to welcome those who are watching on

live stream around the world.

Let us know you're watching.

Send us an email on the... Let us watching Singapore, Dubai, India, Ireland, Europe, Africa, just all over the globe.

So thank you for joining with us. So let's go to the Lord in a word of prayer.

Father every time we come to your word we are reminded that your word is inherent, it is authoritative, it is

all sufficient, and I pray that you will open our eyes to behold

wondrous truths in your word that your Holy Spirit would be the primary

teacher here today.

We pray that you'd give us great instruction

and that you would not only teach our minds,

but that you would inflame our hearts for you and ignite our souls

for your truth and for your son.

And I pray that you'd challenge our wills and that we would walk out of here

transformed and ready to live as you would have us to live.

So God do all this.

Only you can do this in us.

You are the author of our sanctification,
