Description
Open the Bible is the teaching ministry of Pastor Colin Smith. Our mission is to use a broad array of modern media to help people around the world meet Jesus. We do this by opening the Bible for them, helping them open the Bible themselves, and equipping them to open the Bible with others.

We are forgiven by Christ’s death on the cross because the punishment for sin fell on Him instead of us. Therefore, at the cross, God’s forgiveness is released toward us.
On the cross, Jesus bore the sins of the world. The cross shows us both the heinousness of sin and the love of God.
We cannot separate Christ’s Lordship from His salvation of us. It is a fundamental misunderstanding of the gospel to think that you can receive what Jesus offers and at the same time resist what He commands.
In Adam, we all die. But if we are joined to Christ by faith, we shall be made alive!
The multiple theophanies that occurred in the Old Testament were pointing forward to a time when the Lord himself would come in human flesh.
God took the initiative in sending Christ to be born of the virgin Mary. He did not wait for a Deliverer to arise from us, He came to us in the person of Jesus.
Being faithful to God does not necessarily mean that we must sacrifice success in this world.
As Christians, we are in the world, but our citizenship is in Heaven. What does it mean to be a part of two kingdoms?
In the Bible, there are many examples of bad shepherds of God’s People. But Jesus is the Good Shepherd who lays down His life for the sheep.
If God moves you to do something for Him, you can know that He will be with you in it!
The prophet Ezekiel was a man who had many hopes and dreams just like us. But his dreams were shattered. Where do we turn when that happens to us?
Jesus suffered, and he is called a “man of sorrows.” What a comfort it is to know that the Lord himself understands what it means to feel sadness and pain, and that He is with us in our sorrow.
Your difficulties break your heart, and they cause you to cry out to God. It is good to know that the tears of God's people are precious to Him.
The Book of Lamentations is a book of sorrow. Thank God that the Bible speaks to us in our pain.
When Nicodemus came to Jesus, Jesus told him that he needed to be born again. What does that mean?
After King David sinned, he asked God to create in him a “clean heart.” This should be our prayer as well.
Salvation in Christ is not something we must work to attain. It is a free gift, given by the Lord himself to unworthy sinners.
Jesus calls everyone who is thirsty for eternal life to come to Him!
The Lord calls His servants to be humble and serve others. We are not to trample on the weak but to help them.
God’s servants do not serve themselves, but rather Him. They are not called to fame or fortune, but to do their Master’s will.
