World Bible School has been and will continue to be conscious and prayerful for the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19), the present effects it has had on our nation, and the government’s encouragement for entities like churches to temporary refrain from meeting. We understand this can be a time of pain, fear and frustration for so many people. However, we also believe that God has a unique way of caring for His Church and for souls across the globe in the midst of challenges and suffering.
Over the last two years, WBS has been working to produce a brand new social network, called Mathetis. Mathetis is designed to connect our world to Christ and His Church by providing interactive high-impact multimedia Bible courses for groups of people to study together on our social platform. Mathetis launched in January and currently has over 2,000 members.
The Unlimited Groups feature is unlocked by purchasing an activation. An activation allows you to activate one of our Mathetis courses within a new or existing Unlimited Group. When you activate a course, the group members will be able to study and discuss the course content within the group. The group leader will also gain access to any additional downloadable content provided by the author.
Due to the effects the Coronavirus has had on the Church, we would like to offer ONE Lifetime Activation FREE OF CHARGE using the promo code #SPREADTHEGOSPEL for the next two weeks. As a launch special, we would also like to offer 25% OFF our subscription plan activations when using the promo code #UNLIMITEDGROUPS for the next two weeks.
Currently activations can only be purchased through our website’s shop page. On our website, your profile now has an activations tab, which allows you to manage your activations. If you would like more information or if you have any questions check out our FAQ page. You can also email us at help@mathetis.org or call 512-345-8190.
Mathetis is a tool of World Bible School. Follow Mathetis on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube – @mathetisapp.

This episode of One More Chapter continues the series on Bible study principles for bridging the gap between a passage’s original meaning and its application today. Hosts Brian Rex Davis, Noah Davis, and Bryson Davis review “purpose” and “principle,” then focus on “precedent”, emphasizing how approved apostolic examples establish binding patterns when they carry theological significance—while incidental details do not.
In this episode of One More Chapter, Brian Rex Davis, Noah Davis, and Bryson Davis continue their study of biblical “principle”, explaining how general teachings give inclusive guidance that can be applied in various ways, while specific commands are authoritative and must shape belief and practice.
This episode of One More Chapter continues the series on Bible study by introducing the idea of “principle” as a way to bridge what a passage originally meant and what it means today, after first stressing purpose and context. The team takes a long–but useful–detour into Bible translations and versions—covering textual preservation, the spectrum from word-for-word to paraphrase, group vs. single-translator work, Dead Sea Scrolls, and which editions they personally use (NASB 1995, ESV, NIV 1984, etc.). The discussion on ‘principle’ will continue in the next episode!
This episode explores how understanding the purpose behind a Bible passage helps bridge the gap between what it originally meant and how it should shape life today. Brian, Noah, and Bryson discuss how purpose protects against shallow, checklist-style interpretation and helps distinguish enduring principles and examples from incidental details.
