Topical Teachings

The following teachings our independent of any specific Bible Study series

Matthew 5.1-12 - The Beatitudes

In this Bible study, we look at the Beatitudes; these 8 statements from Jesus, each with a promise.  “Blessed” - happy, joyful, on the right path- is the person who follows each of Jesus’ calls.  This includes a call to be poor in spirit, to mourn our sinful state, to be meek, to thirst for righteousness, to show mercy, to be pure of heart, to be a peacemaker, and to rejoice in persecution.  The Beatitudes are a progressive ladder, with each separate step being critical to understand before attempting the next step.  In this study Dave breaks down each of these "blessed" statements, and asks what this looks like in our lives today.

Matthew 3 - Who was John the Baptist?

In this study, Bible teacher, Dave Bigler (Iron Sheep Ministries), guest teaches at Adirondack Christian Fellowship.  Dave covers Matthew chapter 3, looking at who is John the Baptist?  What was his assignment?  What was his Job?  Dave concludes with an application asking, what is our job as Christ followers today?

Revelation 3.14-22 Bible Study - The Church in Laodicea (they thought they were amazing; Jesus disagreed).

In this Bible study, we focus on Revelation 3.14-22.  This is a message from Jesus to the church of Laodicea.  Laodicea was one of seven churches in Asia Minor (modern-day western Turkey) to which Jesus had the Apostle John write a letter.  The church in Laodicea thought they were rich and successful, when in God’s eyes, they were weak and spiritually useless.  Laodicea was judging itself on the world’s standard, not God’s.  Join us as we dig deep and learn how this applies to us today.

Bible Translations Explained; which Bible should you read?

Why are there multiple translations of the Bible?  NIV, ESV, NASB, NLV, King James?  What are the differences and why do they matter?  Can you really trust any translations these days anyway? In this video, Dave talks about translation theory from the Formal Equivalent (word for word) to the Dynamic Equivalent (thought for thought), and which translation utilizes which, allowing you to determine which Bible is right for your personal use.   

Part 1: Textual Criticism

This is part 1 of 2 that focuses on the History of our ancient Biblical text.  In this video Dave focuses on how, why and when our New Testament was written and passed on.  Dave also hits on textual variants and why we can be confident in the text in our Bible today.

Part 2: Bible Translations

In part 2, of this 2 part series, Dave focuses on Bible Translations; why do we have translations and why are there so many?  Which one is "right?"  Which should I use?

How to do a word study using Blue Letter Bible

In this excerpt from our Genesis 26 Bible Study, Dave walks through doing a word study of the Hebrew word:  צָחַק - ṣāḥaq which is found in Genesis 26: 8 and is translated 8 different ways between 8 different translations.  Dave uses BlueLetterBible.org to discover the word's foundation and the different ways it is translated.  Context of the text always informs meaning!

What is the Sabbath?

This is a segment pulled from our full study of Exodus 16.  In it Dave talks about what the Jewish Sabbath is, what Jesus says about the Sabbath as well as what we see of the Sabbath in the New Testament.  Watch the full Exodus 16 Bible Study: https://youtu.be/5myeehRVf5o

What is a Concordance? What is an Interlinear Bible? What is BlueLetterBible?

Faith is living without scheming!

“Faith is living without scheming” is a quote by Warren Wiersbe.  In this short excerpt from our full Bible study of Genesis 26, Dave talks about how Faith is looking at hardship and asking, not how can I get out of this, but how can I grow from this!  Watch the full study: https://youtu.be/KHBu5FTOt4A

Should Christians Tithe? How much should I tithe? Do I have to tithe?
