 Isaiah Lesson 10 Distributed by: KJV Bible Studies Website: www.KjvBibleStudies.net E-mail: [email protected] Introduction: In chapter 9, we studied about the prophecy of the birth of Jesus Christ to a virgin and ended with the impending judgment coming to Israel. This chapter of Isaiah begins with further warnings to Judah. Afterwards, the prophet describes the coming judgment against Assyria. The focus then shifts to the Day of Lord and of the Jewish remnant in the land during the Tribulation. Finally, an itinerary of the invasion of Judah by the Assyrians is presented though some think it is eschatological.
Isa 10:1 Woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees, and that write grievousness which they have prescribed; Isa 10:2 To turn aside the needy from judgment, and to take away the right from the poor of my people, that widows may be their prey, and that they may rob the fatherless! The chapter begins with a woe against the sin of Judah. The local leadership of the nation’s regions were denounced for issuing decrees and edicts which were burdensome, unjust and uncalled for. The judicial process was corrupted, especially against those of low estate. Specifically, they sought to withhold fair judgement from the poor rendering them powerless and making them easy prey. In short, those in authority went about to defraud the poor. The widows, and the orphans were targeted because of their vulnerability. Continue reading in PDF:

 Hebrews Lesson 12 Distributed by: KJV Bible Studies Website: www.KjvBibleStudies.net e-Email: [email protected] Introduction: In Chapter 11, we studied about faith over the past 3 weeks. We started out studying about the definition of faith, and read about dozens of the saints who stood strong in the Lord by faith. Verse 6 of the chapter taught us that it is impossible to please God without faith. We continue on this topic in the beginning of Chapter 12 as we look at the ultimate example.
Heb 12:2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. This reference to ‘so great a cloud of witnesses’ refers back to the list of the many men and women of faith we just studied in chapter 11. We also have other Christians that live about us who are a witness to the saving power of the Lord Jesus Christ. A dedicated, consecrated life lived for the Lord has a great testimony to the lost in the world, and to us who know Jesus as our Lord and Savior. Paul tells us to lay aside every weight and the sin that pulls us down, and to run the race set before us. Effective runners don’t come to a track meet weighted down in combat boots. And you and I need to examine our hearts and if there is sin in our life, we need to get rid of it. Sin has a price, and it burdens us and pulls us away from the Lord. Is there a sin in your life that hinders you? Most likely, if we will all be honest, there are areas in every one of our lives that could be improved upon. Turning away from the sin and seeking God’s forgiveness is the beginning of running the race to win. None of use can run the race set before us effectively if we are loaded down with burdens and sins. Maybe you hold something against a fellow Christian or a family member, and you need to get that cleared up. Only you know what holds you back. But until our heart is pure before the Lord, we will never be effective in the race of life. Jesus is the one we are to look to as our example… he truly is the author and finisher of our faith. At the end of Christ’s life, he experienced great joy as he returned to heaven to be with the Father. He went to the cross, despised the shame, and paid the price that our sins earned. And today, He sits at the right hand of the Father as our Great High Priest. Continue Reading in PDF:
 Galatians Lesson 04 Distributed by: KJV Bible Studies Website: www.KjvBibleStudies.net e-Email: [email protected] Introduction: Last week in Chapter three, we found that the covenant God made with Abraham was all by faith. The law had a purpose in that it taught us our sinful condition before God, but it could never bring us to God. Only by coming through Jesus Christ can we have salvation. I. Stand In Grace, Not the Law Galatians 4:1 Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all; 2 But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father. 3 Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world: Paul relates a servant and a child as being much alike here in Chapter 4. Until a child receives his inheritance he is much the same as a servant. An heir is a prospective owner of an estate. The child is under the guardianship of either a guardian or tutor. Governors or stewards have charge over the property. In verse 3, it refers to how the Jews, under the law, had no liberty as we have when we accept the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We that are under grace are free, but the Jews up until this time were not free. Continue Reading in PDF:
