The Warfare. This series studies the Spiritual Warfare that we battle as Christians that is discussed in Ephesians 6:10:17.
Paul was warning the church at Ephesus to be cognizant of the warfare that is taking place with the devil... as he said in Eph. 6:10-12 “Finally, my brethren, be
strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against
principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” In this series we will go back to the beginning
with the fall of Lucifer who became Satan who started the spiritual warfare that we are a part of... whether we know it or not, and look at the warfare that has taken place throughout the ages. Listen the all the lessons here.
Colossians Study. This is a new series that covers the book of Colossians. This is an
important book because it is a prison epistle that is written to us. All scripture is for our learning but all scripture is not written to you. We don’t obey the scribes and
Pharisees that sit in Moses’ seat… these instructions were to Jesus’ disciples at that time in scripture. Paul is an
apostle to the Gentiles. He didn’t start out this way… when he was called on the road to Damascus; the first place he went to go and tell of Christ was in
the Synagogue to the Jews. Paul changed during the Acts period from going to the Synagogue and the Jews to going to the Gentiles. We see in Galatians
that Paul’s ministry becomes one that was unto the uncircumcision. Be sure and review all of the lessons for Colossians.
Kingdom of God - Here is a comprehensive audio series studying the “Kingdom of God” and all the aspects of what it entails for the Christian today.
Much confusion has resulted from the lack of biblical understanding about “Kingdoms” in scripture because they don’t understand the different attributes
of each “KIngdom” mentioned in scripture. Listen to this series to gain a greater understanding of the Kingdom of God.
The Hope of the Church of the One Body
. After the Timothy Study, it became apparent that some effort needed to be put forth to clarify for the Christian
today would understand the hope we have in Christ Jesus. This hope is different than the hope that
was promised to Abraham. Our calling is different than that of Abraham and Israel and the calling
determines your hope. The Apostle Paul wrote to Timothy in 1 Tim. 6:13-14 “I give thee charge in the
sight of God, who quickeneth all things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed
a good confession; That thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing
of our Lord Jesus Christ:” The admonition in verse 14 describes our hope which is the appearing of Christ Jesus. Click here to list all of the audio lessons pertaining to the hope of the church of the one
body.
Timothy Study. This audio series studies the letters the Apostle Paul wrote to Timothy in his final
ministry to the gentiles. These lessons look at the proper doctrine that Christians should follow. We
find that having the right doctrine makes our walk with the Lord more gratifying than being out of step
with what He wants you to do. Clearly sound doctrine is very important to our proper Christian walk.
Our walk should be based on our calling from God vs. what we think it is from our own imaginations. The goal with our walk should be to grow into a perfect man as it says in Ephesians 4:13 ”Till we all
come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:”. We do that with proper doctrine. Click here to view the study.
The Twofold Purpose of The Mystery.
- This is a series that covers aspects of the body of truth called The Mystery. We learn of it for the first time in Ephesians 3:9 and Colossians 1:25-26 in Paul’s
prison epistles. This series is important to Christians because it is our calling for today. Click here to go to the series.

designated to the Gentiles and he claimed he was given a special message revealed after Acts 28:28. The body of truth
he reveals is called the Mystery. Here is an important series studying the prison epistles. Click here to go there now.
Resurrection - This series studies the importance of a resurrection to the believer. The Sadducees didn’t believe in a resurrection yet Paul said it best, if we have hope only in this
world, we are all most miserable (1 Cor 15:19). This series explains why you should believe in
a resurrection. It also studies “when” it happens and “who” is involved. Here is the list of lessons.
Dispensations - According to 2 Timothy 2:15, we need to study the Bible to be approved unto God, handling His scripture accurately and applying
it in our lives so we can be about His business and grow as Christians. The study of “Dispensations” is
just recognizing that the administrations of God change over time. Right Division is the study of scripture to learn the differences between the different administrations of God and keeping
scripture in it’s proper context so we don’t walk or worship in error. It also brings you to a level
of Chrisian maturity so you can hand the meat of scripture. This is when your specific calling and faith obedience becomes evident and your walk is approved unto God. Click here to see the entire series.
The “Last Days”- The attack on the World Trade Center in New York and the Pentagon in
Washington, DC on 9-11-2001 has caused many people to ask the question “Is this the End Times?”

Times” Click here to learn more.
The Covenants - Here is an audio series covering the Covenants in scripture. It was given by Dr. Clifford McLain in 1986 near his retirement
as pastor of Northside Bible Church. This audio series is one that covers the promises made by God throughout the ages as revealed in scripture. A good compliment to these audio lessons are the articles on Covenants as well as the large dispenational chart found in the Charts section.
The Acts of The Apostles - Here is an audio series that Dr. McLain
presented at Northside Bible Church in 1980 on The Acts of the Apostles. This chapter by chapter study covers 36 lessons on Acts which is crucial to your understanding of right division. Click here to go there now.
Right Division - “Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that
needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of Truth.” 2 Timothy 2:15. Several audio series are available on Right Division. Click here to see them all.
The Armour of God - “Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand
against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities,
against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high
places.” This admonition is found in Ephesians 6:10-17 and there are two series available on this topic. Click here to find out more...
Prayer - Whether it’s the National Day of Prayer or just any other day, one of the fundamental
privileges that a Christian has is their ability to talk to God through prayer. In the Bible there have
been many examples of prayer offered to God in all different situations. What kind of prayers should a Christian offer up to God that are approved in His sight? What is God obligated to do with
our prayers? Is prayer a “secret power” to tap into to provide the “prayee” the ability to claim
whatever you want? The Bible has a lot to say about prayer and as a workman, “prayer” needs to be handled with the same care for right division as any other doctrine in scripture. Here are some audio lessons on prayer.
Pleroma - The Fullness of God. When approaching scripture, you can do it dispensationally
which looks at the different periods of administration of God. Yet, there is another way to look at an overview of God’s plan and that is identified in Ephesians 1:8-10 (KJV) which states “Wherein he
hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence; Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself: That in the dispensation
of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him”. This audio series studies the fullness of God as He
accomplished His purpose in Christ. Click here to view all the lessons on the Pleroma.
All Truth. Here is a series of lessons based on the book “All Truth”
written by J. Eustice Mills. It studies how scripture and truth in scripture is revealed progressively It’s very important to understand how scripture is divided and truth is
revealed. Christians often think of this as the King James divisions between the Old Testament and the New Testament. However, God has different divisions in scripture based on time
(chronologically) and calling (a targeted message or body of truth e.g. direct mail). This series
takes you on a journey to learn what scripture has identified as All Truth.
Two Natures in the Child of God. The Apostle Paul said it well in
Romans 7:18-25 (KJV) “For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to
perform that which is good I find not. For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do. Now if I do that I would
not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me. For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: But I see
another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from
the body of this death? I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.” This series of lessons covers the two natures present in the life of a Christian. Learn more here.
