Ezra 1 Part 2a

March 5, 2025

As we continue in the Old Testament book of Ezra we’ll glean some insights on vision. Where does it come from? What does it look like? How is it transmitted? We’ll get some answers to those questions and more.

A Study in the Book of Ruth

The book of Ruth is more than just a God ordained love story, although it is certainly that as well.  It reveals the extent of God’s kindness and grace. He accepted Ruth, once an outcast, into his chosen people, and went on to  honor her by  allowing King David and Jesus to be born of her lineage.  Pastor Thom explores the life of Ruth in his 13 message series entitled, Experience Hope in the Life of Ruth.  Request your copy today, on USB flash drive or CD, for a gift  of $25 or more.

Past Episodes

Last time Pastor Thom began a study in the book of Ezra. We’ll learn from this historical book - reasons to not only be comforted by God’s sovereignty - but thankful as well. It’s because God keeps His Word.

Most of our traditions are fun but merely faint reminders of more important truths we ought not forget.  On today’s Study The Word we’ll be reminded from history of the captivity of God’s people and subsequent freedom. 
March 3, 2025
Pastor Thom is currently leading us through a series of studies from the Gospel of John. Today, in chapter thirteen Jesus instructs the disciples on servanthood and makes the point, “Now that you know these things, you are blessed if you do them.”

Think back to the last time that someone hurt you, or committed a wrong against you!  How did you handle it?  Maybe you got really angry or bitter over it, and the resentment still lingers today?  Today on Study the Word we’ll learn what to do when someone hurts or wrongs us.

We’ve all been hurt by the words or actions of another, and that hurt can linger for years to come.  Today on Study the Word we’ll see how to handle it as God would have us, as we turn together to the book of Philemon.   We’ll set our sights on verses eight through ten.

We’ll be finishing First Corinthians today with another look at chapter fifteen.  Have you given much thought to what it’ll be like in heaven.  What will we look like?  What sort of body will we have?  Will we recognize each other?   We get some clues in this passage.  Our bodies will be very much like Jesus’ resurrected body. 
February 26, 2025
The older we get the more we realize that these bodies we’ve been given are frail and limited.  But here’s the good news for the Christian, you’re going to receive a new and improved body that will be far different and better and resemble Jesus’ resurrected body.  Hear all about your glorified body today as we turn to First Corinthians chapter fifteen.

Within the church there’s great debate and even misunderstanding centering around passages like the one we’ll be looking at in First Corinthians chapter 14.  It deals with women in ministry in the church.  
February 24, 2025
Pastor Thom is currently in the book of John, and today we start chapter thirteen. This begins the Apostle John’s record of events in the “Upper Room”. Here Jesus has His last (Passover) meal with the Disciples, just before His crucifixion. He has some important instructions for them…and also for us. 
February 22, 2025
Pastor Thom Keller will be leading a study based in First Corinthians chapter fourteen.  Now upon first glance this section may raise a few eyebrows, and leave you wondering, “What’s that all about!”   You see it’s talking about women being silent in the church.  Pastor Thom says we need to understand the context, and what the totality of Scripture teaches, otherwise we’ll totally miss the point.

About Study the Word

Study the Word is a radio ministry of Calvary Chapel Lebanon, Pennsylvania. It features the teaching ministry of pastor Thom Keller.  As we go verse by verse through the Scriptures, our hearts desire is to encourage you to not only Study the Word, but seek to follow God and obey His Word.

About Pastor Thom Keller

Thom began teaching an inner-city Bible study in 1995. That love of teaching God’s word eventually led to the formation of Calvary Chapel Lebanon in October, 2001, with about 50 people meeting in an old hardware store. Our church ministry and philosophy centers on teaching God’s word chapter by chapter, verse by verse.

Prior to pastoring, Thom was president and general manager of Keller Brothers Ford, a third-generation family business that began in 1921.  After 8 years of bi-vocational ministry, in 2009, Thom sold the business and became a full-time pastor.

Thom and his wife, Sue, live near Schaefferstown. Thom and Sue enjoy snow skiing, mountain biking and motorcycle rides.  Thom has often said that he loves performing weddings because he loves being married!

Ted, pictured above is Sue’s brother who has lived with Thom and Sue since 2001.

“It has been an absolute joy to see the changes God is bringing about in the lives of individuals, marriages and families at Calvary Chapel. God’s word does not return void!”

Currently we have worship services Sunday morning at 8:00 AM, 9:30 AM and 11:00 AM at our church located at 740 Willow St.  Please introduce yourself when you stop by!
