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

Jer 31:31-34 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of ISRAEL and with the house of JUDAH: (32) Not according to the covenant that I made with THEIR FATHERS in the day that I took THEM by the hand to bring them out of the
Chapter 1 Important Distinctions Between the New Testament and the New Covenant Read More »
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

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

How does seeing God’s economy impact us? What we see is what we will to gravitate towards. In the Old Testament, Abraham had a vision of a city whose builder and maker is God (Heb 11:10) which is ultimately the New Jerusalem. The New Jerusalem is the final product of God’s building, God’s work.

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
Chapter 3 – More Distinctions: New Testament Inheritance Versus New Covenant Read More »
I want to talk about God’s economy – where it’s discussed in scripture. Much of the language I speak comes from Ephesians 3 where Paul gives an autobiographical introduction to his ministry and his calling. When I did my Ephesians study last year, I began in Ephesians 3. In a way, Chapter 3 is really

What the Scripture Says about the New Covenant The New Covenant is stated in every scripture that it is referenced to be for the House of Israel (Jer 31:31; Ezek 36:22,25 Heb 8:8) It is said to replace the covenant that God made with the Fathers when He brought them out of Egypt (the Mosaic
