Ephesians 1:4, we were chosen by God before the foundation of the world, this declaration transports us to a dimension that transcends time and space, before any star shone in the sky, there was already a perfect plan drawn up by a sovereign God who decided to love, adopt and include flawed...

Romans 8:14-17, what it means to be a Christian, a concept that goes far beyond the language of obedience and disobedience, of right and wrong, of divine approval and disapproval, Paul speaks of adoption as children. In the Roman world of the first century, adoption was not a sentimental...

The problem is not resolved with rules about what to eat, wear or physically avoid, because it is in the orientation of the mind, in the direction of thoughts, in the center of gravity of inner life. Paul is calling for a reorientation from the inside out, a change in what governs decisions and...

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...

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...

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...
