Bible Study: 1 Corinthians 3-4 May 19, 2017
This is a recording of a study and commentary on 1 Cor 3,4. It continues from the study on 1 Cor 1,2. There are realities perceived in this natural world, and there is God’s reality. Of the two, the former is temporary, the latter is eternal, and this is seen and works according to God’s eternal perspective. In his epistle, Paul the apostle was striving against factions breaking out in Corinth. For when one says, “I am of Paul,” and another, “I am of Apollos,” are you not carnal? – 1 Cor 3:4 The Corinthians were declared “carnal.” We are called to know God and let the new man, the…

Bible Study: 1 Corinthians 1:1-2 – Audio
This is a recording from a Bible study Friday May 12, 2017 on lessons learned from the first two chapters of First Corinthians. Far from being an irrelevant old letter to people far removed in time and culture, this epistle written somewhere in the mid 50s A.D. is extremely applicable to us today. Whole books have been written analyzing First Corinthians, but a few takeaway messages include that it is possible to be a genuine Christian, even manifesting miracles and gifts of the Holy Spirit, and yet still be “carnal” – and not “spiritual” (1 Cor 3). The Apostle Paul had planted the Corinthian church and he was appealing to…

What is Possible: The Church and Prayer: Sunday April 2, 2017 – Audio
This is a recording of a house church message on the big picture and where the sheep fit in. Much could be said, but this much came out while trusting the Holy Spirit for the unction. In discussion is the state of Christianity today in light of what Jesus and the first apostles said. In amongst things said is the “natural man” (AKA “old man” in Adam, or “carnal man”) has capacity and often does presume to try to serve God. This is religious flesh. Mention is made of church history and how this tendency has divided those who named the name of Christ up to this day. It mentions…

Subjecting One’s Spiritual Leading to the Light
Do you hear from God? The scriptures in John 10 do indeed say “My sheep hear my voice,” so this is a promise, but we must all take care. The only 100-percent validated words of God we have are the inspired scriptures. These were written by “holy men of old” under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. While they have been under attack for the last 2,000 years since the Lord Jesus Christ was raised from the dead, what has been passed along has been vetted. Jesus even said His words were eternal. Mt 24:35 – Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass…
