Bible Study Romans 6 – May 17, 2017
This audio recording touches on highlights from Romans 6. Romans 6 tells of what the Lord Jesus Christ did for us on the Cross. The Father includes us who are His sheep in Him (1 Cor 1:30.31). Our “old man” in Adam is crucified. The “knowing” (Rom 6:6) is a definite, certain, revealed type of knowing that is a level above mere head knowledge, or understanding. Head knowledge never saved anyone, and so it is for the truth of Romans 6. We are emphatically and repeatedly told we are “dead to sin,” “alive to God,” “free from sin,” no longer a “slave of sin.” While Romans 6 has been taught…

Faith That God Prizes – Sunday May 14, 2017 – Audio
Although this recording took place on Mother’s Day, it focused on a topic that is of importance year-round to our Father – Our Father in heaven, that is. This topic is faith, which is needed to activate the blessings of the gospel, which in turn is the power of God unto salvation. Rom 1:16 – For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek. Faith is a mystery. Some say human beings can not exercise any faith unless the Holy God who draws us enables us to…

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…

Prayer and self-deliverance (pt2) – Sunday May 7, 2017
This is an audio recording from a Sunday morning message at a house church. It builds on last week’s message on consecration and prayer. It includes personal testimonial and life experience in seeking God. Any Christian who wants all of God has great and powerful tools given in this “better covenant with better promises.” God is love, and He wants us to personally know Him. Christianity was never meant to be anything less than a restoration of a broken relationship between the Holy God and His fallen creation, man. We who are the blood-bought and who want no substitutes for real Christianity, are called to align our wills with God…

Romans 7 Bible Study – Audio – May 5, 2017
This is a recorded Bible study centering on Romans 7 with context given from Romand 6 and the beginning of 8. Some people have questioned whether Romans 7 was speaking of a regenerated Christian experience, or the struggles of an Old Testament Jew – which Paul had been prior to his conversion. It is most definitely about a Christian experience and can be summed as being about a Christian’s deliverance from the law. Christians are commonly taught we are “not under law, but under grace,” and it is in Romans 6 and 7 that Paul under the Holy Spirit’s inspiration explains we died to the law when we were crucified…
