Life Study of the Bible
Sundays at 3pm
What is the practical expression of the church, according to the pure word of the Bible? The revelation of Jesus Christ was given to seven local churches that were uniquely identified with seven cities - indicating the New Testament principle of one church in one city (Rev. 1:11). Lee unfolds the progress of the divine revelation encapsulated in four major revelations, and explains how the divine economy is practically worked out in the context of local churches, standing on the genuine ground of oneness.
This week’s highlight is taken from Friday’s programme. If we would be those watchfully waiting for the Lord’s return, we must be those who participate in the tribulation, kingdom, and endurance in Jesus (Rev. 1:9). Witness Lee expounds the three key items in this verse, which help us to know how to be prepared for the Lord’s coming back
If we would be those watchfully waiting for the Lord’s return, we must be those who participate in the tribulation, kingdom, and endurance in Jesus (Rev. 1:9). Witness Lee expounds the three key items in this verse, which help us to knowhow to be prepared for the Lord’s coming back.
The second coming of Christ to the earth is dealt with very specifically in Revelation.Yet, for many this topic is one characterised by confusion and disagreement.Through a detailed study of the Word, Witness Lee clarifies a lot of misunderstandings, expounding the secret and open aspects of His coming, the rapture of the believers, and the judgement seat of Christ.

Today’s Life-study focuses on how the Triune God is revealed in this book. We will see why the sequence is changed, with the Spirit now mentioned after the Father. Witness Lee also explains the meaning of the “seven Spirits of God” (Rev.1:4-5) – the Spirit in His intensified function and operation.
This program presents how the church as the testimony of Jesus (Rev 1:9) is revealed in a particular and consummate way in Revelation. Witness Lee opens up the church as the golden lamp stands in chapter 1, the universal woman with the man-child in chapter 12, the bride and army in chapter 19 and the New Jerusalem as the ultimate consummation of the church in chapter 21.
Revelation is a book of signs – but not many realise that the most crucial sign is presented in Rev 1:1, “the revelation of Jesus Christ”. Join us for our second introductory programme, where we explore unique and ultimate aspects of Christ that are unveiled only in this book.

On the first Life-study of Revelation program, Witness Lee expounds how Revelation provides a conclusion to the entire Bible. Specifically, we see the conclusion of four great matters – God’s economy, Christ’s redemption, the church and Satan’s destination. The contents of this book are outlined and the proper focus detailed, to give us the key to understanding Revelation.

Witness Lee expounds the negative example of Diotrephes and the positive example of Demetrius shown in 3 John 9-12, with their implications today. The underlying thought in John’s three epistles is marvellously presented as a conclusion to his writings.
Did you know the apostle John desired that you would prosper in material things and be in good physical health, even as your soul prospers (3 John 2)? We can all relate to the first two items - but do we understand what is meant regarding our soul prospering? Witness Lee unfolds the genuine prosperity revealed in the New Testament, and the practical supporting of travelling workers who minister the divine truth.

Today’s programme is on dealing with the deceivers and antichrists who we should not receive or welcome to not participate in their heresy (2 John 7-13). Witness Lee opens up the importance of seeing the context of “not losing the things wrought” through the apostles and of “receiving a full reward”. The extreme damage caused by heretical teachers is also illustrated, with reference to the Old Testament prohibitions concerning leprosy.
In 2 John the apostle John strongly prohibits the believers from participating in any heresy concerning the person and work of Christ. Listen to the first Life-study programme on this short epistle, in which believers are exhorted to walk in truth and love.

Listen to the final programme of our Life-study of 1 John, which explores John’s striking and solid conclusion in 1 John 5:20-21. This concerns knowing God experientially as reality and guarding ourselves from idols.
In today’s program, we consider the responsibility of believers to be channels of the divine life. Witness Lee explains practically how regenerated persons can be kept from sinning, protected from the influence of Satan and the world, and the deep meaning of “knowing” God in 1 John 5:19-20.

Join us for the second part of fellowship concerning petition for a sinning brother. Witness Lee opens up the principles revealed in the Word concerning “the sin unto death”, but highlights how our crucial focus should be on being brought into a deeper fellowship with the Lord. In such a way we know inwardly how to pray and be a channel of the supply of divine life to others.
