Jesus Christ, through His priestly ministry, provided salvation unto all men. Those who receive Him, of both Jew and Gentile, become members of His family. Under the Old Covenant, the priesthood belonged to Aaron and his sons. Since believers, by faith, are part of Christ’s family line, they receive the ministry of the priesthood also. In the pages of this study, we will provide foundational truth concerning the royal priesthood of the believer.

The devil is real. His number one deception is to cause mankind not to believe in his existence. The Bible tells us otherwise. As believers, we must understand that we have an adversary, and we must engage in spiritual warfare. Because God is love, debates have been ongoing as to how He could create such an evil being who wreaked havoc on the world. God created Lucifer in all righteousness. But he chose to become corrupt. In this issue, we will provide an introduction to spiritual warfare. It is our hope that Christians will discover who the adversary is and how to overcome him.

The training of an apostle is oftentimes humiliating. God will allow disruption in every area of his life to prepare him for service. Those called to the apostolic office should understand that preparation for ministry is in the development of Christ’s character. If this is done, the apostle will never come behind in any spiritual gift during ministry. In this book, we will discuss how God builds the apostle for ministry.

In this book, we will examine those who have a teaching anointing and gift. The outpouring of the Spirit gave all believers the ability to understand and explain Him through the Word. The apostles instructed the believers to teach one another in various manners. We must remember that some believers are gifted by God to teach without occupying the office of the Teacher. These people are referred to as teaching disciples. God has a preparation process for those who will operate in the teaching anointing and grace. Learn to accept God’s method for successful service.

In this publication, we will explore the first area of spiritual warfare that every Christian must face: the world. As believers we are called to be in the world, but not of the world.

In this book, we have compiled select teachings and exhortations to help the Christian become the proverbial master of his domain. Some areas of interest are the image of the Christian, the internal struggles of the Christian, and the inevitabilities that come with Christian life. It is our hope that this collection challenges and encourages the Christian today.

God has a standard of living that we, as believers, must live by. However, we must remember that our good works and acts must be a product of Christ’s character being formed in us.

In this book, we will explore the mystery of sonship. Our salvation does not only entitle us to right-standing with God, but also relationship. Through salvation, we become sons (and daughters) of God. This relationship, however, does not exempt us from our responsibilities as servants of the Lord. Moreover, we will examine the relationship between the salvation, servanthood, and sonship of the believer.

In this commentary, we will examine one of the most important offerings of the Old Testament. God instituted Israel's system of worship through Moses' leadership. After establishing the priesthood, instructions were given concerning the sacrifices that were acceptable to God. Among the offerings of the Lord, the whole burnt offering (introduced in Leviticus, chapter 1) was unique. This offering helps the believer to understand Paul's exhortation to present the body a living sacrifice unto God.

Apostles and apostolic ministry are important to the furtherance of the Kingdom of God and the Church. But, some have become vulnerable to deception and error. Many apostles have abused their ministries and authority. Therefore, the Lord is going to send an apostolic paradigm shift in the midst of the Church. In the first book of this series, we will show the events that led to the primary apostolic revolution in the early Church. We will discuss how there was a need for a replacement in the early apostles which was the prerequisite for the outpouring of the Spirit and formation and ...

In this publication, we will explore the life of Manasseh, the son of Hezekiah. Manasseh is known for his ungodly rule in Judah. His atrocities while serving as king led to Judah's ultimate captivity in Babylon. However, we learn from the biblical record that Manasseh turned from his wickedness to serve the Lord.

What is a covenant? A biblical covenant is an agreement between God and man that governs their relationship. In the scriptures, a covenant was more than an impersonal contract, but a symbol of God’s faithfulness and man’s responsibility in worship. In both testaments, God established covenants with man. In this book, we will explore two foundational to God’s interaction with His creation; that is, the Adamic Covenant and the Noahic Covenant. As we explore these two Covenants, we will see God’s eternal purpose revealed, as well as the relevance of these covenants for the Christian ...

In this book, we will explore the mystery of the thorn in the flesh. Paul stated that God had given him a thorn in his flesh in order to keep him humble because of the revelation that was in his life. However, there has been much controversy over what the thorn in his flesh was, and how God could allow such a thing to exist. In addition, there are Christians claiming that certain afflictions in their lives are a "thorn in the flesh," when they may not be. Therefore, we will endeavor to bring understanding to these concerns and discover what impact this has upon the believer today.
