Transcribed from YT Original Message Dated 1/29/22: I want to try to encapsulate something I feel like I’m just starting to see more and more clearly in the Word. We are all learning and growing and seeing things more clearly, and it is the Lord’s mercy. No one can claim, “I got a special revelation;” […]
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
Jesus and his disciples were celebrating Passover when they had the Last Supper, recorded in Matthew, Mark and Luke. There Jesus said, “this is the blood of the new covenant” (Mt 26:28). The KJV translators chose the word “testament” over “covenant”, though in this context, it should probably be translated as “covenant”. This was celebrated

This is taken from a misinterpretation of Romans 11. Romans 11 does not tell us that the Gentiles have been grafted into Israel. Romans 11 tells us that we have been grafted into the Olive tree to be a partaker of the root and the fatness (which represents God in Christ) (Rom 11:17) . As

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

I want to talk about recognizing New Testament ministers — genuine stewards. Understanding God’s economy is incredibly profound — it has truly changed my view of the Bible. Knowing what God is doing has set me on a different path to reveal Christ as the center. Christ is everything. God’s intention is not to require

The word ‘sanctification’ has become another one of those words that makes people uncomfortable, like ‘repent’, where it needs to be defined otherwise legalistic definitions automatically spring to mind and weigh you down. I read an article on sanctification yesterday and it was full of requirements, burdens, unrealistic expectations and false doctrine. I think what
