Episode 1591: Will there be normal people like us in the Eternal Kingdom? Part 2 Treasure In Every Verse 2026-02-24 | Hello everyone. In this morning's Bible study we continue looking into the controversial doctrine of God's sovereignty over salvation.Controversial? Yes, oh not to God but to most people. The problem isn't what God has done and is doing nor is it with what God has written because the scriptures makes it crystal clear that the LORD God rules over the kingdom of men and does with it whatever He pleases.Yet even with the LORD declaring things like this:Psalms 115:3 (NKJV)3 But our God is in heaven; He does whatever He pleases.and thisPsalms 135:5-6 (NKJV) 5 For I know that the LORD is great, And our Lord is above all gods. 6 Whatever the LORD pleases He does, In heaven and in earth, In the seas and in all deep places.and thisJob 23:13-14 (NKJV)13 “But He is unique, and who can make Him change? And whatever His soul desires, that He does. 14 For He performs what is appointed for me, And many such things are with Him.Yet there are those who will argue that humans and angels have "free will". What an outright blasphemy against the sovereignty of the Most High God. Salvation belongs to God alone and none can say unto Him, what are You doing, GOD!This morning's study is 1 hour and 14 minutes in duration. I have broken it into eight segments. This is segment 8 of 8 titled Will there be normal people like us in the Eternal Kingdom? Part 2
Episode 1949: Will God feel remorse or sorrow for those who end up in hell? Treasure In Every Verse 2026-09-13 | Hello everyone. In this morning's Bible study we continue our journey through to very different places in the scriptures, Light and darkness.Different places? Yes, different places. What do you mean by different places? No, my friend, it's not what do I mean, the question should be addressed to God because He is the One who claimed that there they are different places, not me. My assignment is simply to tell you what God has said.The LORD God declares that Light is a person and a place. That same God declares that darkness is a person and a place. They are diametrically opposed to each other, at war with each other, perpetual enemies of each other, and hate each other. They never mingle nor mix. They cannot co-exist in any way, form, or shape.That same God declares that YOU are either light or darkness. That YOU are either of the day or of the night. That YOU are living in light or darkness. That YOUR nature and every single intent behind YOUR behavior comes from one of those two natures. That same God also declares that He alone divided the Light from the darkness. That He alone APPOINTED the angels and humans who will be included in the Light and left everyone else in the darkness.Why? Why would a God of love, mercy, and kindness do such a thing? Well, that's what we will find out in today's study. Today's study is 1 hour and 13 minutes in duration. I have divided it into eight segments. This is segment 8 of 8 titled Will God feel remorse or sorrow for those who end up in hell?

Episode 1941: God commanded Jesus who is Light to remove us from our own darkness Part 3 Treasure In Every Verse 2026-09-12 | Hello everyone. In today's Bible study we want to set our focus on how the LORD God preached the gospel in the first five verses of the Bible.For those of you who haven't been with Treasure in Every Verse very long that may be a very confusing statement. One may be questioning how I can say something like that with a straight face.Well, because it's true. What I have learned is to understand the scriptures one must seek out the cohesiveness of the scriptures. Kevin, what exactly does that statement mean? It means that you must allow the scriptures to interpret scriptures, building one theme upon another from a different book of the Bible. The Bible isn't a book of collective stories told by various authors. No my friend, the Bible has a single Author who selected certain people to write His story. Hence it is a consolidated historical book written in advance by the Creator who sees from eternity to eternity.That's what we are discovering today. We will take the Genesis 1:1-5 and show where God gave the full detailed explanation of that passage to various authors.We will learn the biblical definition of Light, the biblical definition of darkness, why there is various forms of illnesses, and why God allows sickness in children.Knowing the full weight of the scriptures, we do not dodge any question no matter how difficult some may think that they are. The Bible has the answer.Today's study is 1 hour and 25 minutes in duration. I have broken it into ten segments.

Episode 1932: What does the world look like when darkness is vanquished from creation forever? Treasure In Every Verse 2026-08-31 | Hello everyone. I showed you from the scriptures the connection between Christ and God in verse 1. I showed you what God's description of the earth being formless and void means; wilderness and lifeless. Where did the children of Israel wonder on their journey to the promised land? In the wilderness. What happened to most of those people from Egypt who claimed to be God's people? They died.Did they die being a believer? No, they were of the earth, the world, and were in darkness hence they died. Did the Spirit of God land on those who were living in the dark raging waters? No, He couldn't find a place to land in the darkness therefore He hovered over their face but they could not comprehend what He was doing nor did they know He was there.Then in verse 3 the LORD God did something wonderful, He sent light, Christ, into the darkness and God called Jesus GOOD! What happened when the light entered the darkness? There was a separation. Light always separate itself from darkness. Did the darkness separate itself from the light? No, God did. Listen carefully to Genesis 1:3-5 (NKJV)3 Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light. 4 And God saw the light (Jesus), that it (He) was good; and GOD DIVIDED THE LIGHT FROM THE DARKNESS. What? Wait a minute! Why in the world would God to that? The apostle John explains that to us in his first epistle.1 John 1:5 (NKJV) Fellowship with Him and One Another5 This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all.There's your answer. God will not fellowship nor communicate with anyone residing in darkness. Have you not read 1 Peter 2:9 (NKJV)9 But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of HIM WHO CALLED YOU OUT OF DARKNESS INTO HIS MARVELOUS LIGHT. Now go back to Genesis 1. Look at verse 5. There is a clear permanent separation perform by the LORD God.5 God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. So the evening and the morning were the first day.1 Thessalonians 5:4-5 (NKJV)4 But you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief. 5 You are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness.God called them exactly what they are and did not mince words. One group is light while the other group is darkness. Well what did they do to become darkness? Go back and read verses 1 through 3. They did nothing, they were simply created as the earth formless, TOHO, a total wasteland and void, BOHU, without life or the Spirit of God. That's all. They were created that way by God the Creator for His own purpose and glory. By the way, so were you!The question is, should there have ever been darkness? No, of course not. Why not! Because according to 1 John 1:5 (NKJV)5 This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that GOD IS LIGHT AND IN HIM IS NO DARKNESS AT ALL. Well that's a problem because if God was there in the beginning all by Himself, from where did the darkness derive? John explains that to us here. John 1:1-5 (NKJV) 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. 4 In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.It began with creation. God created a world external or outside of Himself. If He is light and everything in Him is light then everything outside of Himself is darkness. The first world God created was external to Himself hence dark.Since the beginning and until this day God does not live within His own creation. He has visited it in the body of the Man Christ Jesus however Jesus declared that He went back to God outside of this world.John 17:6 (NKJV)6 “I have manifested Your name to the men whom You have GIVEN ME OUT OF THE WORLD.

Episode 1931: John details in the order of his books how God removed the darkness Part 2 Treasure In Every Verse 2026-08-31 | Hello everyone. I showed you from the scriptures the connection between Christ and God in verse 1. I showed you what God's description of the earth being formless and void means; wilderness and lifeless. Where did the children of Israel wonder on their journey to the promised land? In the wilderness. What happened to most of those people from Egypt who claimed to be God's people? They died.Did they die being a believer? No, they were of the earth, the world, and were in darkness hence they died. Did the Spirit of God land on those who were living in the dark raging waters? No, He couldn't find a place to land in the darkness therefore He hovered over their face but they could not comprehend what He was doing nor did they know He was there.Then in verse 3 the LORD God did something wonderful, He sent light, Christ, into the darkness and God called Jesus GOOD! What happened when the light entered the darkness? There was a separation. Light always separate itself from darkness. Did the darkness separate itself from the light? No, God did. Listen carefully to Genesis 1:3-5 (NKJV)3 Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light. 4 And God saw the light (Jesus), that it (He) was good; and GOD DIVIDED THE LIGHT FROM THE DARKNESS. What? Wait a minute! Why in the world would God to that? The apostle John explains that to us in his first epistle.1 John 1:5 (NKJV) Fellowship with Him and One Another5 This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all.There's your answer. God will not fellowship nor communicate with anyone residing in darkness. Have you not read 1 Peter 2:9 (NKJV)9 But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of HIM WHO CALLED YOU OUT OF DARKNESS INTO HIS MARVELOUS LIGHT. Now go back to Genesis 1. Look at verse 5. There is a clear permanent separation perform by the LORD God.5 God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. So the evening and the morning were the first day.1 Thessalonians 5:4-5 (NKJV)4 But you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief. 5 You are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness.God called them exactly what they are and did not mince words. One group is light while the other group is darkness. Well what did they do to become darkness? Go back and read verses 1 through 3. They did nothing, they were simply created as the earth formless, TOHO, a total wasteland and void, BOHU, without life or the Spirit of God. That's all. They were created that way by God the Creator for His own purpose and glory. By the way, so were you!The question is, should there have ever been darkness? No, of course not. Why not! Because according to 1 John 1:5 (NKJV)5 This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that GOD IS LIGHT AND IN HIM IS NO DARKNESS AT ALL. Well that's a problem because if God was there in the beginning all by Himself, from where did the darkness derive? John explains that to us here. John 1:1-5 (NKJV) 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. 4 In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.It began with creation. God created a world external or outside of Himself. If He is light and everything in Him is light then everything outside of Himself is darkness. The first world God created was external to Himself hence dark.Since the beginning and until this day God does not live within His own creation. He has visited it in the body of the Man Christ Jesus however Jesus declared that He went back to God outside of this world.John 17:6 (NKJV)6 “I have manifested Your name to the men whom You have GIVEN ME OUT OF THE WORLD. They were Yours, You gave them to Me, and they have kept Your word.If the disciples were taken out of the world, where did they go? IN HIM!!!! Okay then where is Jesus? Keep reading - John 17:11 11 Now I AM NO LONGER IN THE WORLD, but these are in the world, and I COME TO YOU.

No, He couldn't find a place to land in the darkness therefore He hovered over their face but they could not comprehend what He was doing nor did they know He was there.Then in verse 3 the LORD God did something wonderful, He sent light, Christ, into the darkness and God called Jesus GOOD! What happened when the light entered the darkness? There was a separation. Light always separate itself from darkness. Did the darkness separate itself from the light? No, God did. Listen carefully to Genesis 1:3-5 (NKJV)3 Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light. 4 And God saw the light (Jesus), that it (He) was good; and GOD DIVIDED THE LIGHT FROM THE DARKNESS. What? Wait a minute! Why in the world would God to that? The apostle John explains that to us in his first epistle.1 John 1:5 (NKJV) Fellowship with Him and One Another5 This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all.There's your answer. God will not fellowship nor communicate with anyone residing in darkness. Have you not read 1 Peter 2:9 (NKJV)9 But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of HIM WHO CALLED YOU OUT OF DARKNESS INTO HIS MARVELOUS LIGHT. Now go back to Genesis 1. Look at verse 5. There is a clear permanent separation perform by the LORD God.5 God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. So the evening and the morning were the first day.1 Thessalonians 5:4-5 (NKJV)4 But you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief. 5 You are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness.God called them exactly what they are and did not mince words. One group is light while the other group is darkness. Well what did they do to become darkness? Go back and read verses 1 through 3. They did nothing, they were simply created as the earth formless, TOHO, a total wasteland and void, BOHU, without life or the Spirit of God. That's all. They were created that way by God the Creator for His own purpose and glory. By the way, so were you!The question is, should there have ever been darkness? No, of course not. Why not! Because according to 1 John 1:5 (NKJV)5 This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that GOD IS LIGHT AND IN HIM IS NO DARKNESS AT ALL. Well that's a problem because if God was there in the beginning all by Himself, from where did the darkness derive? John explains that to us here. John 1:1-5 (NKJV) 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. 4 In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.It began with creation. God created a world external or outside of Himself. If He is light and everything in Him is light then everything outside of Himself is darkness. The first world God created was external to Himself hence dark.Since the beginning and until this day God does not live within His own creation. He has visited it in the body of the Man Christ Jesus however Jesus declared that He went back to God outside of this world.John 17:6 (NKJV)6 “I have manifested Your name to the men whom You have GIVEN ME OUT OF THE WORLD. They were Yours, You gave them to Me, and they have kept Your word.If the disciples were taken out of the world, where did they go? IN HIM!!!! Okay then where is Jesus? Keep reading - John 17:11 11 Now I AM NO LONGER IN THE WORLD, but these are in the world, and I COME TO YOU. Holy Father, keep through Your name those whom You have given Me, that they may be one as We are.Jesus left the dark world and went back to the Father taking the disciples with Him. Why would Jesus do that? Because John 17:1414 I have given them Your word; and the world has hated them because THEY ARE NOT OF THE WORLD, JUST AS I AM NOT OF THIS WORLD.All the darkness is removed.

Episode 1921: How can the dead sinner become free from death and receive life? Part 2 Treasure In Every Verse 2026-08-29 | Hello everyone. In tonight's Bible study we wrap up our short series on the New Birth or being born from above (again).What does the scriptures teach concerning the new birth? What exactly is it? The new birth is God killing your old human spirit and replacing it with a newly created human spirit.2 Corinthians 5:17-21 (NKJV)17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. 18 Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, 19 that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation.20 Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God. 21 For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.1 Peter 1:3-5 (NKJV) A Heavenly Inheritance3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4 to an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled and that does not fade away, reserved in heaven for you, 5 who are kept by the power of God through faith for salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.Can this new birth be reversed? No, not according to the scriptures. Can this new birth be forfeited? No, not according to the scriptures. Then what if I sin? Apparently you do not understand what happened to you. The believer is already living in the new heaven INSIDE OF CHRIST where there is no sin and no who can sin. While we are living here on this earth, we sin every second of every day because we are not perfected. Does that mean, I should just go steal or kill or lie or cheat or commit sexual sins? Of course not! We are partakers of His divine nature and host of the Holy Spirit within us. Our new nature causes us to run from sinful behavior as fast and far as we can but that is NOT SALVATION because not doing or doing - not going or going CANNOT GIVE ANYONE LIFE.The dead sinner does not require or need a behavior modification. THE DEAD ONLY NEEDS ONE THING, LIFE!!!That life is in the Son of God who loves me and gave Himself for me. 1 John 5:12-13 (NKJV)12 He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life. 13 These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God.Galatians 2:20-21 (NKJV)20 I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me. 21 I do not set aside the grace of God; for if righteousness comes through the law, then Christ died in vain.”Tonight's study is 1 hour and 13 minutes in duration.

Episode 1917: The Believer is killed in this world and created again in the new world Treasure In Every Verse 2026-08-29 | Hello everyone. In tonight's Bible study we wrap up our short series on the New Birth or being born from above (again).What does the scriptures teach concerning the new birth? What exactly is it? The new birth is God killing your old human spirit and replacing it with a newly created human spirit.2 Corinthians 5:17-21 (NKJV)17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. 18 Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, 19 that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation.20 Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God. 21 For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.1 Peter 1:3-5 (NKJV) A Heavenly Inheritance3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4 to an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled and that does not fade away, reserved in heaven for you, 5 who are kept by the power of God through faith for salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.Can this new birth be reversed? No, not according to the scriptures. Can this new birth be forfeited? No, not according to the scriptures. Then what if I sin? Apparently you do not understand what happened to you. The believer is already living in the new heaven INSIDE OF CHRIST where there is no sin and no who can sin. While we are living here on this earth, we sin every second of every day because we are not perfected. Does that mean, I should just go steal or kill or lie or cheat or commit sexual sins? Of course not! We are partakers of His divine nature and host of the Holy Spirit within us. Our new nature causes us to run from sinful behavior as fast and far as we can but that is NOT SALVATION because not doing or doing - not going or going CANNOT GIVE ANYONE LIFE.The dead sinner does not require or need a behavior modification.

What the LORD God did for the praise of the glory of His grace and the praise of His own glory.God created a world wherein He allowed sin and evil. Why would a holy God do that? The answer may surprise and startle you. Ephesians 1:6 & 12 (NKJV)6 to THE PRAISE OF THE GLORY OF HIS GRACE, by which He made us accepted in the Beloved..12 that we who first trusted in Christ SHOULD BE TO THE PRAISE OF HIS GLORY.What?!!! Are you serious? Of course, that's what the scriptures declare. You may be thinking and saying to yourself, why in the world would God do that? Well, He gave the answer to that question as well, in Romans 9.Romans 9:11 (NKJV)11 (for the children not yet being born, nor having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works but of Him who calls),Wait, what? Hold on, God isn't finished answering your questions yet.Romans 9:14-23 (NKJV)14 What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? Certainly not! 15 For He says to Moses, “I will have mercy on whomever I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whomever I will have compassion.” 16 So then it is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who shows mercy. 17 For the Scripture says to the Pharaoh, “For this very purpose I have raised you up, that I may show My power in you, and that My name may be declared in all the earth.” 18 Therefore He has mercy on whom He wills, and whom He wills He hardens.19 You will say to me then, “Why does He still find fault? For who has resisted His will?” 20 But indeed, O man, who are you to reply against God? Will the thing formed say to him who formed it, “Why have you made me like this?” 21 Does not the potter have power over the clay, from the same lump to make one vessel for honor and another for dishonor?22 What if God, wanting to show His wrath and to make His power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath prepared for destruction, 23 and that He might make known the riches of His glory on the vessels of mercy, which He had prepared beforehand for glory,That's all the LORD God has to say on that matter and He doesn't care if you like it or not.Today's study is 1 hour and 10 minutes in duration. I have broken it into eight segments. This is segment 2 of 8 titled The one thing Jesus came into this world to give to YOU. Part 2

Episode 1905: Peter and Isaiah explains why salvation comes before the sinner repents Treasure In Every Verse 2026-08-22 | Hello everyone. In this morning's Bible study we will take a quick pit stop to address a topic that is often debated amongst believers and religious people. That topic is can a true born again, which simply means created a second time from above, can lose their salvation. Why is this such a controversial topic? Mainly because people do not understand the new birth and what the Bible defines as being created a second time from above.That truly is the entire problem. Once you have a biblical foundation of the new birth then you will never again question whether a true believer can be uncreated and go back to being a lost sinner.I will not take the traditional approach by diving into John chapter 3. The reason for that is because John 3 does not fully explain the condition of the sinner, it simply tells us what MUST happen to the sinner.Peter, Isaiah, Ezekiel, Paul, and John all explains the condition of the sinner and the process that the LORD God uses to convert the dead sinner into an alive saint.They all tell us the same thing, that it is not a modification of the sinner's behavior but a change of location that produces within the newly created believer a divine nature that comes directly from the Lord Jesus Christ and His Spirit.Let's get started.This morning's study is 1 hour and 11 minutes.
