Msg 1 Obeying Truth Rather than Following Men Gal 1:1 Paul, an apostle, (not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead;) Here Paul is already distinguishing himself from the people that are influencing the churches in Galatia. The people that are influencing them are much about perception and man’s authority and man’s stamp of approval. “He’s associated with James therefore I should […]
You can download the New Testament Epistles here and print them out to use the “Color Pencil Method” to enhance your understanding of scripture. Understanding the scripture does not require that you be a learned scholar! The best way for EVERYONE to understand the scripture is to SLOW DOWN and let the word ENTER you.

The language of the New Covenant tells us that those who are parties to it will not need anyone to teach them to know God. They will all know Him from the least to the greatest (Jer 31:34; Heb 8:11). God will teach them directly. Also, during that time, no one will be a prophet.
I’m under the New Covenant and therefore I don’t need you or anyone to teach me. Read More »
Ezekiel and Hebrews show that as part of the New Covenant, Israel will have new hearts, and God will write his laws on their minds and hearts. Ezekiel 36:24-28; Hebrews 8:10; Hebrews 10:16; However, the New Testament, and the book of Hebrews are full of exhortations to deal with the heart. Hebrews 3:12; Hebrews 10:22-23;
No Comparisons and Demands In the last message we covered what it really means to “Work out your salvation”. Again, Paul is not talking about Eternal Salvation. He is speaking of Christ operating in you through the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ so that Christ is put on display, so that you can

Php 3:1-3 Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not grievous, but for you it is safe. (2) Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision. (3) For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and

Christ vs. the Flesh In my view, this is the best part of Phillippians. This is the “Galatians” of Phillippians, or the “Romans” of Phillippians. This is Paul’s description of a spirituality that is increasingly free from legalism and instead, full of Christ. Christ is versus everything. In the New Testament Christ is presented as

Reading the Word in the Light of the Gospel of Christ A number of people I have talked to confess that they have never really gotten into this book. This is because it has been presented in a religious way. “This is how we should be. We should be unrealistically happy and if you are

It is really complex, but again, this just has to be distinguished from Israel’s New Covenant. That is a covenant made with them. God didn’t make a covenant with us. There are no terms. By faith we’re baptized into Christ. There’s no obligation on us. We’ve been crucified with Christ, and now it’s no longer

It is amazing to me that I’m able to speak these things at this time, and people are understanding it. This is the result of sowing the Word over time and people growing. A year ago I did touch on these things, and people simply did not understand. Also, the Lord has added vocabulary
