When you understand the agony that Romans chapter 7 ended without resolving, but the division into chapters and verses did not exist in the original text, these divisions were introduced centuries later for practical reasons of study and reference. This means there was no dramatic pause between...

The millennium, when this thing happens, when we have the second coming and we have this brought to an end, it will be on this earth and the Lord will be here and the nations will be reclaimed and they will be the nations that we are familiar with. It will be this planet, this globe. There will...

Kicked out for asking to many questions. Churches don't want to teach this video, no money in it.

Church, they kicked me out. Paul’s reference in Galatians chapter three and four, why then the law, it was add because of transgressions. It’s not like Adam and Eve, because they do one thing, the transgressions we’re talking about here, are the crimes of the watchers. The law was added to...

Proverbs 13:20, who you listen to, who you follow, who you allow to influence your faith, will shape you, the people in your life, are they leading you closer to Jesus or are they pulling you away. Pastors and teachers you support, are they preaching the true gospel or are they distorting it...

Trusting God is not a spiritual cliche, but a powerful weapon against the torment of anxiety, because fear may predict your collapse, but trust declares your deliverance.

If you lived in ancient Bible times, odds are you lived under the authority of a king, and many of these kings claimed that they were gods and they would even call themselves the image of God. Meaning they had authority to tell people what to do, order things to be made. They got to define good...

The bible goes on and it makes this claim that all of this was resolved, when God bound himself to humanity through Jesus and he showed us what it looks like to truly rule as a human. Jesus ruled by serving and by seeking the best for others, by putting himself underneath them and loving not...

God’s rule over the world is happening by Jesus teaching humans how to be wise generous rulers over creation. The kind of people that are the salt of the earth, city on the hill and the light of the world and through those images, Jesus is saying, right now we are carrying the legacy through...

Teaching and announcing the good news of the Kingdom of God, because God has sent the human ruler and leader that he always promised in the storyline of Hebrew scriptures to do for humanity what we can’t seem to do for ourselves, to create a new humanity that lives by God’s will and can partner...

In the valley where fear wraps around your heart, God does not flee, he walks into the darkness with you. He sets a table in the presence of your enemies. He anoints your head with oil, even while your heart is pounding, you can know you are his. 2 Corinthians 1:3-4, not some of your troubles...

We are God’s new temple and our foundation is of the most holy faith, which refers to the core message of good news about Jesus’ life, death and resurrection for our sins. On that foundation, the integrity of this building will be maintained by staying alert for the return of Jesus to bring his...

God’s name means that he is the one who is and who will be, God’s existence doesn’t depend on anyone or anything else, this God simply is. It will sound kind of strange for Moses to go say to the Israelites, I will be, has sent me to you, only God can say, I will be. God tells Moses the version...

Iniquity, in Bible translations, “iniquity” is one way the Hebrew word “avon” gets translated. It’s also rendered by words like “wickedness,” “guilt” or “sin.” What does avon actually mean? The word avon is related to a Hebrew verb “avah” which means to be bent or crooked. Psalm 38:6, the poet...

The old humanity that we took off, is just in a lifelong pursuit driven by desires that are constantly tricking us and letting us down, they’re ruining us, because we just go from one desire to the next, it’s an endless trail of breadcrumbs.

We heard implications of this truth about Jesus and it opened up a completely different way of living, put off your old-humanity, be made new in the attitude of your minds and put on the new-humanity created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness. Paul’s mixing all these different...

In the Greek New Testament, Paul develops this portrait of humans as “trust breakers,” using the word “paraptoma.” Paul recalls the story in Genesis about “Adam,” that means “humanity” in Hebrew. In that story, humanity breaks trust with God and seizes authority to discern good and evil on their...

What is Paul up to in his letters? Paul’s core conviction is that fundamental change happens to us, when our very sense of who we are is completely revolutionized behavior, follows our sense of identity. Don’t live like the Gentiles, because we are something new, we are all new kinds of humans...

Another problem Paul addresses is the issue of Jesus’ resurrection and the future hope of Jesus’ followers. There were some people in the church who were saying that the idea of resurrection is ridiculous and doesn’t really matter to being a Christian. Paul reacts to this, he begins by saying...

Acts chapter 28:16-20, Paul is in the middle of his court trial, and it is not going well, out of this very dark situation, Paul appeals to Timothy, who is still on assignment in Ephesus, he asked Timothy to come be with him in prison so Paul can pass on to him the church planting mission he...
