EXODUS Lesson 01 Distributed by: KJV Bible Studies Website: www.KjvBibleStudies.net e-mail: mail@KjvBibleStudies2.net Introduction: We begin our new study on the book of Exodus this week. We initially were going into Ezekiel, but Brother Taylor wanted a bit more time on studying the chapter about the dry bones living again as to the true meaning of those verses. So we will try and come back to that soon. These lessons are based on the outlines of E.L. Bynum of Tabernacle Baptist Church in Lubbock TX. We are using their outline with their consent. I. INTRODUCTION TO EXODUS A. The Author is the same for all books of the bible. It is the Holy Spirit. Man many times wants to bring the bible down to a book like any other. The bible is unlike any other book, and it is powerful and able to divide soul and spirit and discern the very thoughts and intents of the heart. Heb 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. 2 Peter 1:21 “For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.” 2 Timothy 3:16 “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.” As in the case of all books, God used some man to pen the words. Exodus was penned by Moses the human writer. Continue Reading in PDF

Romans Chapter 1 Distributed by: KJV Bible Studies Website: www.KjvBibleStudies.net e-mail: mail@KjvBibleStudies2.net Introduction: We begin a new study on the book of Romans this week. This book was authored by Paul and written to the people there in Rome. We see in Chapter one the doctrine of which the apostle Paul wrote, set forth the fulfillment of the promises by the prophets. It spoke of the Son of God, even Jesus the Saviour, the promised Messiah, who came from David as to his human nature but was also declared to be the Son of God, by the Divine power which raised him from the dead I. The Salutation Rom 1:1 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God, Rom 1:2 (Which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy scriptures,) Rom 1:3 Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh; Paul speaks of himself as being a servant of Jesus Christ. There truly is no greater opportunity that we can have on this earth than to bring our lives under subjection and be a servant to the Lord Jesus Christ. Paul learned this early after his conversion on the road to Damascus, and lived his life dedicated to God. Before Paul was saved, he was a servant to sin and slave to Satan. Now Paul was a servant of Christ because he belonged to God. Continue Reading in PDF
Genesis Chapter 47 Distributed by: KJV Bible Studies Email: mail@kjvbiblestudies2.net Website: www.KjvBibleStudies.net Memory verses for this week: 1Ti 3:4 One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity; 1Ti 3:5 (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?) Introduction: We continue our study on the book of Genesis this week as Jacob and his family move into their new home in the land of Goshen in Egypt. We begin this week's lesson as Jacob and his sons come before Pharaoh. I. Jacob and His Sons before Pharaoh Gen 47:1 Then Joseph came and told Pharaoh, and said, My father and my brethren, and their flocks, and their herds, and all that they have, are come out of the land of Canaan; and, behold, they are in the land of Goshen. Gen 47:2 And he took some of his brethren, even five men, and presented them unto Pharaoh. Joseph first comes and tells Pharaoh that his family have arrived from the land of Canaan and they now are in the land of Goshen. He first announces their arrival and then took five of his brethren in before Pharaoh.They are asked what their occupation is, and they tell him they are shepherds. Honesty is normally the best policy, although this was not the advice Joseph gave them in the end of chapter 46. Continue Reading in PDF:
Genesis Chapter 44 Distributed by: KJV Bible Studies Email: mailKjvBibleStudies@gmail.com Website: www.KjvBibleStudies.net Introduction: We continue our study on the book of Genesis this week as we pickup after the meal Joseph prepared for his brothers on their return trip to Egypt when they brought young Benjamin along with them. I. A Plan to Apprehend the Departing Brethren Gen 44:1 And he commanded the steward of his house, saying, Fill the men's sacks with food, as much as they can carry, and put every man's money in his sack's mouth. Gen 44:2 And put my cup, the silver cup, in the sack's mouth of the youngest, and his corn money. And he did according to the word that Joseph had spoken. Gen 44:3 As soon as the morning was light, the men were sent away, they and their asses. Joseph commands the steward of the house to fill the sacks and to put their money back in the sacks. So the brothers' sacks are filled to the limit. This reminds us of our Lord's generosity in giving unto us who are so undeserving. Also, not only are the bags filled to capacity, but each man's money was placed in their sacks. Remember that the bread of life, God's salvation, cannot be bought with money. One brother was to have something special placed in his bag. It was Joseph's silver cup which was placed in Benjamin's sack. Silver typifies the price of redemption. Continue reading in PDF:
Genesis Chapter 40 Distributed by: KJV Bible Studies Email: mailKjvBibleStudies@gmail.com Website: www.KjvBibleStudies.net Introduction: We continue our study on the book of Genesis this week as Joseph is placed in prison and by the gift of God is able to interpret dreams. I. Joseph and Pharaoh's Officers Gen 40:1 And it came to pass after these things, that the butler of the king of Egypt and his baker had offended their lord the king of Egypt. Gen 40:2 And Pharaoh was wroth against two of his officers, against the chief of the butlers, and against the chief of the bakers. Gen 40:3 And he put them in ward in the house of the captain of the guard, into the prison, the place where Joseph was bound. Gen 40:4 And the captain of the guard charged Joseph with them, and he served them: and they continued a season in ward. Serving in the royal palace is sometimes more difficult than one might think, and both the chief butler and the chief baker find themselves placed in prison. Somehow they had offended the king. "Offended" is the Hebrew verb "chata" and literally means they "sinned." It is not clear from the account given, but perhaps they had been disloyal to the King. It certainly was not a coincident that they found themselves there. It was clearly providential that they were placed in the same ward with Joseph. Remember there are no accidents with God and that the heart of the king is in the hand of the Lord. Continue Reading in PDF
Genesis Chapter 36 Distributed by: KJV Bible Studies Email: mailKjvBibleStudies@gmail.com Website: www.KjvBibleStudies.net I. Listing of the Generations Gen 36:1 Now these are the generations of Esau, who is Edom. Gen 36:2 Esau took his wives of the daughters of Canaan; Adah the daughter of Elon the Hittite, and Aholibamah the daughter of Anah the daughter of Zibeon the Hivite; Gen 36:3 And Bashemath Ishmael's daughter, sister of Nebajoth. Chapter 36 begins with the departure of Esau. Verse 6 records the separation of two brothers and the reason for their separation. They both were so blessed that their riches were more than that they might dwell together. Their cattle were so numerous that it says the land could not bear them. So Esau left and the dwelling place of Esau became Mount Seir. Continue reading in PDF:
Genesis - Lesson 33 Genesis Chapter 33 Distributed by: KJV Bible Studies Email: mailKjvBibleStudies@gmail.com Website: www.KjvBibleStudies.net Introduction: We continue our study on the book of Genesis this week as we try to cover both chapters 33 and 34 in one week. This was the plan according to our outline, and perhaps we can accomplish this in one morning. Chapter 33 begins with the reunion of Jacob and Esau. I. Reconciliation with Esau Gen 33:1 And Jacob lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, Esau came, and with him four hundred men. And he divided the children unto Leah, and unto Rachel, and unto the two handmaids. Gen 33:2 And he put the handmaids and their children foremost, and Leah and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph hindermost. In last week's lesson, we saw the drawing of Esau to meet Jacob with the 400 men. Jacob lifted his eyes and sees Esau and his troop approaching. Last week we saw him put the gifts of the animals and his servants in front and now he divides and arranges in order, his wives and children. He puts the handmaids and their children in the front. Notice that he placed them in a particular order, according to his love and concern. Rachel in the safest place. Jacob rushes ahead and bows himself 7 times. Once again we see the old Jacob, so full of fear and with so little faith and trust in God. What a change in Jacob the man who prevailed with God, as he slavishly bows before his brother 7 times. Yet, we see the same thing in Elijah who so heroically stood against the 400 prophets of Baal, but a short time later he flees from the woman Jezebel. Let this be a lesson for us. One victory does not guarantee a second one, and no matter what our position in life, we must always look to God for hour help and strength. Continue reading in PDF:
Genesis Chapter 20 Distributed by: KJV Bible Studies Email: mailKjvBibleStudies@gmail.com Website: www.KjvBibleStudies.net Introduction: We continue our study on the book of Genesis this week as we read about Abraham's failure at Gerar as he continues to practice the bad act of deception. I. Abraham's Practice of Deception Gen 20:1 And Abraham journeyed from thence toward the south country, and dwelled between Kadesh and Shur, and sojourned in Gerar. Gen 20:2 And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister: and Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah. It is amazing how people are creatures of habit. If we habitually do a certain thing, then the odds are very high that we will probably do that again. Much money is spent by advertisers to buy lists of where people go online with their web browsers, in order to detect what they would likely to buy. I got a targeted email just today to try and sell me some more Christian books I had purchased because they saw I had bought several recently, and I might likely buy more. While this has nothing to do with today's lesson, my point is we tend to repeat ourselves. And Abraham has an old sin reappear. Several times we saw Abraham lying, and again it comes up. Verse 1 says Abraham sojourned in Gerar. As before, Abraham declares Sarah to be his sister. He had purposed to do this while in Ur. This was a sin he had never confessed and forsaken. It took 40 years in the wilderness to bring out what was in the hearts of Israel. Continue Reading in PDF:
Genesis - Lesson 16 Distributed by: KJV Bible Studies Email: mailKjvBibleStudies@gmail.com Website: www.KjvBibleStudies.net Introduction: We continue our study on the book of Genesis this week as we cover the birth of Ishmael. I. Sarai, Abram and Hagar Gen 16:1 Now Sarai Abram's wife bare him no children: and she had an handmaid, an Egyptian, whose name was Hagar. Gen 16:2 And Sarai said unto Abram, Behold now, the LORD hath restrained me from bearing: I pray thee, go in unto my maid; it may be that I may obtain children by her. And Abram hearkened to the voice of Sarai. Gen 16:3 And Sarai Abram's wife took Hagar her maid the Egyptian, after Abram had dwelt ten years in the land of Canaan, and gave her to her husband Abram to be his wife. Verses one and two record the plea of Sarai. She was disappointed that she had no child and loses her faith and patience with God. God had made a promise to she and Abram, and God does not fail to come through on His promises. Her handmaid, Hagar, was an Egyptian, and is a type of a person in the world. She was a slave brought back from the ill-fated trip to Egypt, recorded in Gen. 12:10-20. We remember this trip as one of those times when Abram looked to the world for sustenance rather than just trusting the Lord. Continue reading in PDF:
Acts Lesson 28 Distributed by: KJV Bible Studies Website: www.KjvBibleStudies.net e-mail: mailKjvBibleStudies@gmail.com Introduction: In Chapter 27, Paul and his fellow crew members faced the horrible storm Euroclydon which threatened the lives of every one aboard the ship. But the angel of the Lord came to Paul, and he told the captain and the men that all of them would be delivered if they all stayed in the ship. They did so, and the ship ran aground and came apart as we closed last week. Those that could swim swam to shore, while those who could not got on boards of the ship and floated in. All 276 men escaped to the island of Melita. That is where we pick up this week as we conclude our study on the book of Acts. The final chapter of Acts details the remaining portion of Paul’s journey to Rome. Included is a brief description of Paul’s ministry in Rome while he awaited his hearing before the emperor. I. Landing on Melita Acts 28:1 And when they were escaped, then they knew that the island was called Melita. Acts 28:2 And the barbarous people showed us no little kindness: for they kindled a fire, and received us every one, because of the present rain, and because of the cold. The island upon which the ship ran to ground and began to break up is noted here as Melita. Geographically, Malta, a small island between Sicily and north Africa. The reference “barbarous people” is an expression of that era in which all non-Greek speaking cultures were referred to. The were no doubt secluded and may have seemed strange to the ship’s crew and passengers. It is thought the Maltese people were originally Phoenicians whose native language was Punic (North African). In any event, they were hospitable to the survivors of the ship that wrecked on their island. It obviously was still winter. The persistent rain and northerly winds made the damp conditions quite miserable. The islanders helped the survivors simply by building a fire allowing them to warm themselves and dry out.
