Keturah-in-the-Bible
Keturah was the wife Abraham married after Sarah died, and she bore him six sons. Scripture calls her his wife in Genesis 25 but his concubine in 1 Chronicles 1, and her sons were sent east with gifts while Isaac received everything.
Keilah-in-the-Bible
Keilah is a fortified town in the Judean lowlands where David won a battle, then had to decide whether to trust the people he had saved. 1 Samuel 23:1-13 records both the rescue and the divine warning that sent him away.
Kay-Arthur
Paul's teaching on head coverings in 1 Corinthians 11:2-16 weaves together creation order, cultural shame, and worship practice. This study walks through the passage carefully, distinguishing what it establishes from what it leaves open.
Kebra-Nagast
The Kebra Nagast is a medieval Ethiopian national epic, not part of the Bible. John 5:39-47 tells us where life and testimony about Jesus are actually found.
Karl-Barth
Karl Barth built his entire theology around John 1:14, the confession that the Word became flesh. This study explains what that verse says, how Barth read it, and where his reading needs correction.
Kadesh-Barnea
Kadesh-Barnea was the edge of the promised land and the place where Israel's unbelief turned a short journey into forty years. Numbers 13-14 records what they saw, what they feared, and what God said about it.
KJV-vs-NLT
The KJV and NLT differ in language and translation philosophy, not in the authority of Scripture. Second Timothy 3:16-17 directs us to what every faithful translation must preserve: God-breathed truth that equips the reader.
Justus-in-the-Bible
Justus is a name attached to three different believers in the New Testament, and the most striking is Joseph Barsabbas in Acts 1. He was a candidate for the apostolic office and was not chosen.
Jungian-analytic-psychology
Jungian analytic psychology can illuminate dreams, symbols, and the divided self, but Genesis 1:26-27 grounds human worth in God's image, not in archetypes. Scripture affirms our created dignity while judging the heart and calling for renewed minds.
Julius-Caesar
Jesus answered a trap about Roman taxes with a coin and a sentence that still orders the Christian life. The image on the denarius decides the argument, and God's claim on you is total.
Julius-Africanus
Julius Africanus was a third-century Christian writer whose chronological work shaped how the early church dated the birth of Jesus. His surviving fragments help us understand why Christmas falls on December 25 and how the wise men fit the story.
Judgment-of-Solomon
Two women, one living child, and a king's strange test. 1 Kings 3:16-28 shows how Solomon's wisdom worked and why the people saw the hand of God in his verdict.
Judeo-Christian-ethic
Jesus ties the whole law to two commands: love God with everything you are, and love your neighbor as yourself. That is the ground of any Judeo-Christian ethic, and it is more demanding than rule-keeping, not less.
Judas-saved
Matthew 26:24 contains one of the hardest sentences Jesus ever spoke about a human being. Examining what Scripture does and does not say about Judas Iscariot helps us answer whether he was saved.
Jubilee-2017
Leviticus 25:8-13 commanded Israel to sound a trumpet every fiftieth year and release what had been lost. The Jubilee was rooted in God's ownership of the land and his care for the poor.
Journey-to-the-cross-Sunday-6
Mark 10:32-34 captures the moment Jesus leads His disciples toward Jerusalem, teaching them plainly about His coming suffering, death, and resurrection. The disciples are amazed and afraid, but Jesus keeps walking ahead.
Journey-to-the-cross-Sunday-3
Mark 8:31-38 marks the turning point where Jesus plainly predicts his suffering, death, and resurrection, then calls his disciples to follow the same path of self-denial. This study walks through the passage verse by verse and considers what taking up your cross actually asks of you.
