This series looks at the wisdom of Solomon from a chapter by chapter study of the book of Proverbs.  When you look at the Hebrew and Greek words for Wisdom, you will find "Sophia" in the New Testament (Greek word σοφία, ας, ἡ) and "Chokmah" in the Old Testament (Hebrew word ‎חָכְמָ֥ה).  In the Old Testament, these verses in Exod. 28:3; 31:3, 6; 35:26, 31, 35; 36:1-2 convey the meaning as having the skill to perform certain duties.  In the New Testament, we will find these verses in Eph. 1:8, 17; 3:10; Col. 1:9, 28; 2:3, 23; 3:16; 4:5 show us in our calling today, we are educating the principalities and powers in heavenly places the manifold wisdom of God which He purposes in Christ Jesus our Lord.  This study will attempt to answer these four questions: What are the “many sides” of this manifold wisdom? What is wisdom? How does wisdom differ from understanding? and How can Proverbs help?

This study will look at the remnant that is found in scripture and its role in God's plan.  Who is the remnant?  When you search the scriptures for the word "remnant" you find the majority of references in the Old Testament, where a majority are found in Isaiah and Jeremiah but very few are found in the New Testament.  Only in Matthew, Romans and Revelation do we find "the remnant" and that suggests it is only related to Israel's calling. There are two Hebrew word that are related in this research: Sarid and Shear.  Sarid means escape destruction and Shear insures ultimate fulfillment and establishment.   Isaiah 6:13 speaks the remnants return.  It speaks of them being called, chosen and faithful in Revelation 17:14 KJV. There are two significant types of "election" - Personal and Corporate.  When we look at "to choose" it crosses over into the scriptures of The Mystery in Ephesians 1:4 where PAul tells us "according as he hath chosen us in him".  Are we then in The Mystery part of the Remnant?  Follow this study and you will be sure of who the remnant is.

This study follows the Hebrews study of "Running the Race" where it will explore the question whether or not the Law is active in today's calling of The Mystery.  We learned of how grace was a part of Israel's plan from the beginning but now this study hopes to clarify how the Law lives within our calling where Grace is the emphasis.  This study will answer these statements:

• We are NOT “under” the law, so we do not need to obey the LAW.
• We are to rightly divide the word of truth and therefore we conclude that the law was given to the Jews and we gentiles are not concerned with it.
• We are believers in the revelation of the mystery given to Paul the prisoner and this means a complete rejection of any teaching given to Israel. Therefore “the law” is out!
• The law was given to Moses NOT Paul the prisoner, so we do not preach law observance
• The law was full of types and patterns about Israel’s promises so we do not preach it or observe it.

This series started on March 27, 2022 and looks at the book of Hebrews compared to Philippians. It looks at the author of Hebrews being the Apostle Paul and then dives into what is being taught to the Hebrew Christians during the Acts period, challenging them to strive for perfection on their walk to receive rewards. PAul then writes Philippians after Acts 28 and similarly writes to the Gentiles who are called in The Mystery to run the race to receive their rewards.

Wayne started a new series called "The Ends" on December 19, 2021.  The phrase appears in scripture at 1 Corinthians 10:11 KJV "11 Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come."  This study will look at the ages and how several ages were ended during the Acts period and how this is important in understanding scripture rightly divided.
