Got 20 minutes? Then you have time for a Bible study! Mysteries of the Kingdom presents 20-minute Bible studies that go beyond the milk of the Word to the meat - the deeper truths for the spiritually mature.

The Mystery of His Will

"In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace which He lavished on us. In all wisdom and insight, He made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His kind intention which He purposed in Him." (Ephesians 1:7-9) The blessings of belief in Jesus transcend space and time.

Conviction About the Truth

"So having overlooked the times of ignorance, God is now proclaiming to mankind that all people everywhere are to repent, because He has set a day on which He will judge the world in righteousness through a Man whom He has appointed, having furnished proof to all people by raising Him from the dead.” (Acts 17:30-31) The word “faith” appears 239 times in the Bible.

Written for our Instruction

"For whatever was written in earlier times was written for our instruction, so that through perseverance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope." (Romans 15:4) The Old Testament was meant for Israel. The New Testament is meant for the Church.

Doers of the Word

"Therefore, ridding yourselves of all filthiness and all that remains of wickedness, in humility receive the word implanted, which is able to save your souls. But prove yourselves doers of the word, and not just hearers who deceive themselves." (James 1:21-22) Knowing the Word is great, but DOING the Word is what really counts.

Take Up Your Cross

"And He summoned the crowd with His disciples, and said to them, “If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me." (Mark 8:34) We call Jesus our Lord, but what does that really mean? In this 20-Minute Bible Study, we answer this question by closely examining a familiar passage of scripture.

The Milk & The Meat

"For everyone who partakes only of milk is unacquainted with the word of righteousness, for he is an infant.
