In his second epistle, the Apostle Peter warns that in Israel’s future Tribulation, scoffers will deny Christ’s promised Second Coming. As we find out in this episode, however, Peter reminds them that these scoffers “willingly are ignorant” of God’s past interventions. He explains the “one thing” Israel must remember: God relates to time differently, so what seems like delay is actually His longsuffering, giving people opportunity to repent. Finally, Peter points to the Apostle Paul’s writings, which shows that God’s dispensation of grace explains the temporary postponement of Christ’s return to Israel.

The rich young ruler sincerely asked Jesus how to inherit eternal life. Jesus first confronted his shallow view of Him as merely a “good teacher,” then reminded him of the commandments he claimed to keep. Finally, Jesus exposed the “one thing” he lacked—his riches had become his god—and told him to sell all, give to the poor, and follow Him. The young man went away sorrowful because he loved his possessions more than eternal life, illustrating how wealth can hinder devotion to God. This study also shows that under grace today, salvation is received freely by believing in Christ alone, and not by works.

In this lesson from Philippians 3, the Apostle Paul explains that the central pursuit of the Christian life is to know Christ deeply by experiencing His resurrection power, sharing in His sufferings, and becoming more like Him. Paul admits he has not yet reached full maturity, but like a runner, he presses forward with focused determination, refusing to be hindered by past successes, failures, or religious credentials. Paul’s “one thing” is to forget what lies behind and reach toward God’s goal for him—Christlikeness—while urging believers to do the same.

This message chronicles Mary and Martha welcoming Jesus into their home, but while Mary sat at His feet to listen to His teaching, Martha became overwhelmed with serving and grew frustrated. When she complained, Jesus gently told her that only “one thing” was truly necessary—the attentive, worshipful focus Mary had chosen. The account teaches that while serving Christ is good, devotion must come before duty, because time spent with Him is the “good part” that can never be taken away. Believers today likewise need to guard against busyness and prioritize spending time with Christ in His Word.

We learn here in John 9 that the disciples assumed the man’s lifelong blindness was punishment for sin, but Jesus explained it was so “the works of God should be made manifest in him.” The man’s neighbors and the Pharisees later interrogated him, refusing to believe the miracle or accept Jesus’ identity. Pressured to denounce Christ, the man held firmly to the undeniable truth of his experience. His testimony became beautifully simple and unshakable: “One thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see.” This “one thing” mirrors the believer’s salvation, as Christ gives us a new life that cannot be denied.

This study presents the dramatic conclusion of Stephen's speech before the Sanhedrin in Acts 7, where he directly indicts them as “stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears”—while they boasted in the law they failed to keep. Filled with the Holy Spirit, Stephen sees Jesus standing at the right hand of God, which enrages the council into a violent mob that casts Stephen out and stones him. As he dies, Stephen prays for his persecutors and falls asleep in peace, his martyrdom marking Israel's national fall and the temporary suspension of her prophetic program, leading into the current age of God's grace.

We are in a spiritual battle, and the truth of Christ and God’s Word convicts and cuts at the heart. In this second part of Stephen's defense in front of the Sanhedrin in Acts 7, he recounts Israel's history with Moses to show how their ancestors repeatedly resisted God's chosen leaders. Stephen highlights parallels between Moses and Christ, while exposing the people's ongoing pattern of rebellion, idolatry, and misplaced focus on the temple rather than the living God. He urges humility and a contrite heart that believes God's Word, warning that resisting truth leads to judgment, as seen throughout Israel's history.

In this episode, Stephen commences his defense before the Sanhedrin in Acts 7, recounting Israel's history beginning with God's call to Abraham and then the story of Joseph—who was envied, rejected, and sold by his brothers, yet exalted by God to become their savior. Stephen draws powerful parallels between Joseph and Jesus Christ, showing how the Jewish leaders had likewise rejected their Messiah. Through this review of history, Stephen, full of the Holy Spirit, urges them to recognize Jesus as the promised Deliverer, repent, and accept Him by faith, just as their fathers eventually accepted Joseph.

Christ did not come into a G-rated world—He came into one of violence, fear, and unrelenting evil. Christ, however, did not come to avoid sin and death, but to confront it through His cross and resurrection. This lesson recounts the darker side of Christ’s birth, as seen in Herod’s murderous rage against Bethlehem’s infants. God protected Jesus by directing Joseph to flee to Egypt, fulfilling prophecy and echoing Moses’ own preservation from a tyrant’s decree. Herod’s massacre reveals the depths of human wickedness, yet it also highlights Christ as the true Deliverer who came to save humanity.

David’s sin with Bathsheba leads him into a downward spiral of deception, culminating in the arranged death of her husband Uriah, a loyal and honorable soldier. In this teaching, we learn that despite multiple attempts to cover his wrongdoing, David cannot hide his sin from God. The prophet Nathan confronts him with a parable that exposes his guilt, leading David to recognize the seriousness of his actions. Though David deserved judgment, God extended grace and forgiveness, demonstrating that even great sinners can receive mercy and still be used by God when they return to Him.
