Wayne Stiles walks through some questions asked about the Bible and the Christian life, with answers from Scripture.
Scripture says a lot about how to live, but what does it say about how to die? As with everything, Jesus is our example. We will learn by examining Jesus’s seven sayings from the cross of Calvary of how we should prepare for our own death.
Scripture: Psalm 23:1-3
In this fourth lesson on Psalm 23, Imanuel Christian teaches on the Lord who “restores my soul,” revealing how our Shepherd continually renews our body, spirit, and soul. As we walk with Him, He leads us into ongoing growth, healing, and deeper relationship.
Scripture: Isaiah 11:1-3
In today’s culture of fear, it is important for the believer to recover a healthy understanding of the fear of the Lord. Recognizing that the fear of God is not a call to be afraid of God but rather an obedient response to the overwhelming gracious hand of God’s blessing. This lesson will explore both Old and New Testament passages centering on Christ’s anticipated fear of the Lord from Isaiah 11:1-3.

Scripture: Isaiah 6
Wayne Stiles teaches from Isaiah 6 how to get the dirt off your hands—and cleanse your heart from a guilty conscience. Ultimately, our goal cannot be to feel better about ourselves, for this never satisfies. God gives us a bigger vision and purpose.
Scripture: 2 Kings 22
Wayne Stiles teaches from 2 Kings 22 and the life of King Josiah that we can break our generational curse by remembering that our model for living is not our parents’ example—but God’s Word. Like Josiah did, we should tear down anything that competes with our worship of God and build up what assists it.
Scripture: 2 Kings 21; 2 Chronicles 33
Wayne Stiles teaches from the life of King Manasseh in 2 Kings 21 and 2 Chronicles 33 that what we refuse to learn through instruction, God may teach us through struggle. God stands ready to forgive even the worst sinner. He will never give up on us.
Scripture: 2 Chronicles 32
Wayne Stiles teaches from the life of King Hezekiah in 2 Chronicles 32 to face your fear with faith and prayer to the God who is in control. God’s truth bring peace when the hard facts bring fear.
Scripture: 2 Chronicles 24
Wayne Stiles teaches from King Joash’s life in 2 Chronicles 24 what happens when people are bigger than God. (Hint: It’s bad stuff.) We need to cultivate personal character and conviction, which can only occur by a personal walk with God.
