44 Bible Doctrine – The Being (Existence) Of God
I would like to welcome you back to another study in Bible Doctrine. I am pleased to say that we begin this day with the actual content of Gill’s “Body of Divinity”. We are looking at the first thirty chapters, all dealing with the blessed Godhead of the TriUne Jehovah. Of course, I have rearranged these chapters in order to align them with the Framework of Sovereign Grace. These chapters are located on the top right corner of the diagram, next to the TriUne Jehovah, all of which deal with the being, existence and perfections of the Godhead.

43 Bible Doctrine – The ‘Introduction’ To Gill’s Body Of Divinity
I would like to welcome you back to another study in Bible Doctrine. In our previous study, I aligned the chapters of John Gill’s ‘Body of Doctrinal and Practical Divinity’ with the Framework of Sovereign Grace. I will be using this diagram as the key, or map, to navigate us through the teachings of Gill. For this study, I wish to look at Gill’s Introduction to systematic theology. He begins his Introduction by stating the reason for publishing a ‘Body of Doctrinal and Practical Divinity’. It was after completing his commentary on the Old and New Testament Scriptures, he chose to enter upon an exposition of systematic theology, which he delivered week by week, in the course of his pastoral ministry at Carter Lane Chapel.…

42 Bible Doctrine – Gill’s ‘Body Of Divinity’ Aligned With The Framework Of Sovereign Grace
I would like to welcome you back to another study in Bible Doctrine. In our previous studies, I have presented to you the table of contents belonging to John Gill’s Body of Divinity. He has divided his teachings into two parts. The first part is a doctrinal body of theology, composed of seven books, or branches, containing one-hundred-and-seven chapters. The second part is a practical body, composed of four branches, with one appendix and containing forty-nine chapters. We therefore have a total of eleven branches, one appendix and one-hundred-and-fifty-six chapters.

15 Popular Misconceptions About The Church
I’d like to welcome you back for another study in the Word of God. We continue our series of studies on the biblical covenants. And if you remember from our previous study, I began to tackle a subject which is shrouded with confusion. It's the meaning and distinctions of three biblical terms—the elect, Israel and the church. I'd like to speak to you in this study on the subject of Israel and the church.

13 Israel And The Elect
I’d like to welcome you back for another study in the Word of God. We come again to our series of studies on the biblical covenants. In the previous studies, I have given to you my understanding of the biblical covenants and how they're arranged. And now as we come to the tail end of the series, there's a couple of more studies I want to bring to you. And I’d like to deal with the subject that's shrouded with confusion. It's the subject of Israel, the elect and the church. Now these three terms are among the most common labels recorded in the scriptures. And to say there's a fierce controversy between the various groups of Christians over their meaning would be an understatement.
