Getting back to basics by examining the Word of God and, especially, the Book of Acts Church, The Porch Online Bible Study is taking a deeper look into how the early church served the Lord.
Our desire is to find and restore the priesthood of the Believer and the world-shaking influence the Early Church had. By delving deeper into scripture, we will find the Church the Lord intended and not the one man created.
The Church Age is not over and, therefore, what took place in the Upper Room is as much for now as it was on the Day of Pentecost. If you know that there is more to your spiritual walk with Yeshua/Jesus and you want more then you are welcome to join us on this journey as we get back to basics!

What good works will give you the blessings you want? The rich young ruler wanted to know. What's the answer?
When we become spiritually weary we lose our desire and determination to press on. The Bible is filled with examples of that and what we need to do.
The Bible warns us about an end time delusion that will lead people astray, help inspire the falling away and cloud the minds of Believers. The Porch examines that threat and the answer to it.

As Believers in Yeshua/Jesus we are called to live a life of a hope that works. Unfortunately most live a life of choices they hope work.
The Word of God is pure but there are those that like to add their own ingredients to change it.
Tonight on The Porch we talk about the perilous times we are in and what to do about it. Richard Grund makes an appeal to the Remnant to rise up and respond accordingly.
It's high time to wake up as a Body of Believers and get ready for the darkness that's coming. We are light bearers and darkness fighters.
The Bible is clear with example after example that God will intervene in our life but He won't interfere. Free will brings choices that have consequences.
This is a word to the Church regarding being the Light to the world in a time of darkness. Let those who have ears to hear, hear.
Tonight on The Porch we have a teaching on the Feast of Tabernacles as it pertains to the Believer of today.
The promises of Psalm 91 are predicated on our position near Him, hidden in the shadow of His wings. The Porch takes an in-depth look at that promise and the provisional benefits of these verses by concentrating on the aspect of the Divine "promise" contained within.

We learn from the example of David in 1st Samuel 17 that when the Lord anoints you to do something you have to approach it on the run!
Once you rest in place and shelter in place, all that is left to do is stand in place. Sometimes a crisis deserves a strong stance in the Name of the Lord!
During times of emergency or danger, we can be told to shelter in place. Spiritually the warning is there as well. We are living in a world of dangers and spiritual storms and must learn the concept of sheltering in place in Him.
The Lord made us a promise of "rest". Tonight on The Porch we examine that promise and how it applies to us today.
We live in a fallen world with trials, tribulations and attacks from the enemy. But, we've been given the power of His Peace to prevail and conquer.
As a spiritual darkness covers the world the Church is called to arise and shine. Where is that great Light the Lord declared would come at this time in history? Let's look at The Word to find the answers.
When we make that pit stop under the broom tree and deal with our fleshly fears we must have faith and keep going on.
The Prophet Elijah was human just like us and we can learn from his spiritual lessons. We need those answers in a time of struggle, attack and storms.
With the winds of tribulation and adversity blowing all around us how do we stay anchored? It all begins with faith and the Cross.
Life in the Kingdom of God is one of choices. We choose life or death, freedom or bondage. Choose wisely.
The events of The Cross on Calvary set in motion spiritual events that we still see in effect today. The literal transformation of darkness to Light reveals more than we ever could have imagined. That Truth remains today for us to examine tonight on The Porch
We live in a fallen world under the sway of evil and darkness. The only one to fight, and defeat it, is with Light. On this session of The Porch we examine the warfare of Light.
We revisit a teaching from two years ago about the paradigm shift created on Pentecost. We look at it from a different perspective inspired by recent events in Orlando.
Because Yeshua/Jesus is the Light of the World those who follow Him never walk in darkness but have the light of life. That means we should never be walking in darkness.
He came so that we could have life and have it more abundantly. So, why don't we see the light of life? What keeps us from His best for us? Listen and find out.
What are you focused on? Where is your mind set as you live the life of a Believer in Yeshua/Jesus? We will take an indepth look at that concept.
In a time of deception, and the falling away from the faith, we must know what we believe or be deceived.
Deception will be an End Times condition and threat. Do we believe or are we decieved? What do we believe? That is something we must stay on high alert for in the dark days ahead.
Last time on The Porch we spoke of choices. What about His choice to love us and fulfull His Promise to us. Tonight we examine His Promise. Listen, receive and believe!
Everything in life is a choice. That applies even more so to our "spiritual" life. How effective we are as Believers is dependent upon choices. The examples in The Bible clearly show that to us.
Everything in this life as a Believer in Yeshua/Jesus is a lesson to be learned. However, we must first recognize the lesson and then we can apply what we learn.
If you see the storm coming you have time to take shelter. What does that mean for a Bible believiing follower of Yeshua/Jesus?
We live in a fallen world that is immersed in a battle between darkness and Light. As Believers in the King of kings and Lord of lords, we are stationed in a war zone until He Returns.
When the Lord ascended on high He made a public spectacle of the kingdom of darkness. The Cross was victory and the Upper Room was a declaration of war. Therefore, we live in a war zone!
Once you know Him, He knows you and His Spirit fills you, you should be fired up to do something about it. It should be a fire in your bones that drives you, compels you and inspires you.
We've talked about knowing Him and being known by Him. Now, we take that to the next step of the Invitation. The Spirit and the Bride say "come"!
Tonight, Richard Grund follows up Know Him with the natural progression of Know to Be Known. You know Him. Does He know you?
The journey to Spirit and Truth is one that takes us to a place of knowing Him. That is where the faith and hope to endure comes from and from which we are more than conquerors.
The Woman at Jacob's Well was given the clue to success in our spiritual life today when the Lord told her the secret to worshipping the Father. What is it, how do we get there and how do we apply it?
Once we become anchored in the Lord we must resist the world and the enemy's effort to dislodge us. Resistance to the World, the things of the World and the enemy behind it all, is the objective.
In our relationship with the Lord we have an anchor that holds fast in all circumstances. On this session of The Porch we take an in depth look at that concept.
The warning to the church in Ephesus in Rev 2:4 about leaving their "first love" inspires this teaching. What does that mean and how do we protect against it?
What would your new year be like if you resolved to live the life and be the way the Lord wanted?
Finding our way back to the right path - the established way - and being ready for the Return of the Lord.
Once we understand the times and the seasons of the Kingdom of God, we need to live in expectation. We look at how to do that and what The Word says about it.
We look at the concept of illumination as it pertains to Hanukkah and those who believe in the Light of the World.

In this session of The Porch, we finish off The Fruit of the Spirit with Gentleness and Self-Control.
Richard J Grund takes a look at the recent events in Paris from a spiritual perspective.
The Fruit of the Spirit – Faithfulness: we look at the fruit of the Spirit faithfulness as it applies to the Beliver's walk and function in the Kingdom of God.
When the Day of Pentecost released the Holy Spirit and the Book of Acts Church was born, a pattern/protocol for the Kingdom was established. The Gifts of the Spirit work together with the Fruit of the Spirit allows us to be productive. Tonight, we look at the fruit Longsuffering.
