The Way-An in-depth study of God's Word with Paul Orr
The Way is a podcast fully committed to the solid, straight forward, uncompromising, Spirit filled teaching of God’s Word. We know that we are living in a dark and evil time. According to the scriptures, we are living in the last days before the return of Jesus. Therefore, to live a victorious life in Christ regardless of the rising evil all around us, we must know God’s word thoroughly and obey it completely regardless of cost of consequence. Our desire through this podcast is that God would give every listener an ear to hear, a heart to receive and a will to obey. May all the teaching of God’s Word through this podcast be solid and Spirit filled. May all who listen be strengthened and built up in the body of Christ. May we all live fully to the glory of God until Jesus calls us home. Maranatha

As we conclude our study in the letters to the Thessalonians, there are a few take aways.
First, a person is never too young in the Lord to grow and mature in the Lord. This was a young church. Paul held nothing back. He taught them deep theology and doctrine. Paul was a man who never held anything back. He always presented the whole counsel of God.
With that said, we can never over stress the importance of God's word...
In this study we look at the birth of Jesus. Caeser Augustus has given a command that all the world is to be registered. The whole world moves at his command, including Mary and Joseph. Mary is so close to giving birth, yet she and Joseph must go to Bethlehem.
Although the command was given by the most powerful man in the world, it was all done under the sovereignty of God. It is time for Jesus to be born. God ...
We continue to look at Mary, Elizabeth and Zacharias. The Holy Spirit is doing a great work in each of them as the way for the Messiah is being prepared.
Mary upon finding out that she will become pregnant as a virgin and give birth to the Messiah, almost immediately goes to visit her older cousin Elizabeth. When she greets Elizabeth, John leaps for joy within the womb of Elizabeth. Elizabeth is immediately filled wi...
Paul reminds us that we have been greatly loved by God. God chose us before the foundation of the world. In response, we choose to believe the truth of God's word, the truth of the gospel. As we believe, we come to know that we have been obtained for the glory of Jesus.
In light of this, we are to stand fast and hold firm to the word of God. This is key to living the victorious Christian life. Regardless of the circu...
We now conclude this section. Paul has made clear to the Thessalonians that the day of the LORD will not come until first the great falling away takes place. Secondly, not until the church is raptured prior to the man of sin being revealed.
We must understand that as the return of Christ hastens, we will be entering into some incredibly difficult and dangerous times. The deception we see today will increase rapidly. ...
We now begin a study in the gospel according to Luke. It is the most comprehensive of the gospels written in a common language that all can understand. While Luke was a highly gifted and educated man, he did not want people to be impressed with his writing ability, he wanted people to know and understand who Jesus is.
As we begin this gospel, we are introduced to Zacharias and Elizabeth. Both are well advanced in yea...
In this study we take another look at the rapture of the church. We look at the principle behind the rapture, and we look at the timing of the rapture. It is a topic that does have controversy. However, we encourage you to study the scriptures, commit it to prayer and let the Holy Spirit be your teacher.
We also look at the comfort that the rapture and the day of the Lord should bring to every believer. Satan w...
The people in Malachi's day had grown disappointed since the prophesies of Haggai and Zecheriah had yet to be fulfilled. As a result, they now neglected God's word. They had no regard for God's name. They were walking by sight and not by faith.
As believers, we must stay true to Jesus and His word. We must remember that God's word never fails. That Jesus never fails. True faith does not put a time line on the p...
Deception concerning the day of the Lord had entered the Thessalonian church. This deception had both shaken and troubled them in their minds. To remove this deception from them, Paul presented two events that must take place prior to the day of the Lord.
In our last study we looked at the first event, the great falling away. In this study we are looking at the man of sin, the antichrist revealing himself as God. The...
In this study, God declares that He does not change. How comforting to know this. His love, grace and mercy never changes. How wonderful to know that our righteousness and holiness depends not on our performance but on God's promise.
For I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that He is able to keep that which I have committed to Him until that Day. II Timothy 1:12

Paul now transitions from prayer to the issue of concern, the purpose of his letter. The Thessalonian church was troubled and shaken about the doctrine concerning the second coming of Jesus. They thought that the rapture had passed them by and they were living in the day of the Lord.
Paul dispels this confusion that has entered their church by laying out to things that must absolutely happen prior to the day of the L...
In this study, we take a look at marriage. Marriage is God's institution. God loves marriage and He hates divorce. Our view of marriage must be the same as God's view.
It is in marriage that we learn the heart of God. It is in marriage that we come to know the depth of our relationship with Jesus. Marriage is God's best.

We now begin a study in Malachi. The thrust of the first chapter is that God wants all of us. He wants our best. He wants us to surrender every area of our life to Him.
Maybe you are struggling in your walk. Maybe you are living in defeat. Have you surrendered all to God? If not, why?
We cannot walk in the power of God until we kneel in surrender before the throne of God.

We now begin Paul's second letter to the Thessalonians. This church continues to grow in both their faith and love. They are growing at incredible rate in spite of the persecution and tribulations that they are living in. While no one desires persecution and tribulation, it is the perfect soil in which our faith and love can truly grow to the glory of God.
This passage is more than relevant for our present day....
We now come to the conclusion of the first letter that Paul writes to the Thessalonians. It is a rich letter with a strong focus on the second coming of Jesus. This letter not only emphasizes the return of Jesus but also challenges us to live for Jesus as His return approaches.
Paul ends with a wonderful blessing. A blessing that reminds us of all that God has done for in Christ. We will be sanctified completel...
We now come to the conclusion of Zechariah. Zechariah and Hagai had both written to the Israelites who had returned from Babylon. Hagai wrote encouraging them to restart the building of the temple. Zechariah wrote telling them to finish the work they began. May we all start the race well. May we all finish the race well.
These last few chapters of Zechariah have focused on the second coming of Jesus. God's word...
As we continue to study the last three chapters of Zechariah, we see clearly that the day of the Lord is soon to be upon us. Everything in the world is lining up for that day, the day when Jesus comes again.
Some see the world as being out of control. But as we study passages like the one before us, we can know for certain that God is in control
Are you ready for the return of Jesus? Are you running the race to win? I...
Paul continues to address the return of Jesus. He now transitions from what they did not know, the rapture of the church, to what they do know, the Day of the Lord.
All teaching regarding the return of Christ should bring comfort to us as believers. Not only should it bring comfort, but it should build us up in our walk with Jesus. Any believer not comforted or edified by the knowledge of the return of Christ should ...
As we come to the last three chapters of Zechariah, the prophies now center on the return of Jesus. It begins with God affirming His power, sovereignty and the fact that He alone is the infinite, almighty creator of everything seen and unseen. This is critical as these prophesies unfold.
One thing that stands out concerning Israel in the last days is that the whole world will be against her. The whole world wil...
In a previous study we took the time to review what good hermeneutics are. Hermeneutics is a big word that simply means how we study and interpret the scriptures. From this we were able to take a biblical look at the distinction between Israel and the church. All of this is critical if we are to have a correct biblical view of prophesy.
This week, we came back to topical technical study rather than our normal verse b...
