John 13:10, “He that is washed needeth not save to wash his feet, but is clean every whit: and ye are clean, but not all.” From this verse we learn that it is possible to have Jesus humbly clean you, and yet it still be your choice to receive cleaning. This is the story of Judas Iscariot.
The Other Judas
James: Present and Faithful
Matthew: Changed for Good
His physical posture is changed from sitting in the receipt of custom, to standing and following Jesus. His identity is changed from Levi, “joined” to this world and sin, to Matthew, a “gift of God.” His mindset is changed from self-indulgent to self-denying. And his purpose is changed from living for himself to living for God.
Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth?

5 Keys to a Healthy Bible Study
studying the Bible with others is one of the greatest gifts we have as believers.

But we can only do this rightly if our groups are biblically healthy and mature.
