There are some deep and simple truths we learn from Jesus calling His first disciples (and how that applies to Jesus calling you). We'll see Jesus teach with authority and then confirm that authority through His interaction with a demon. This is part 6 in the Mark series, here's a link to the whole playlist. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZ3iRMLYFlHuGenHwUdeiQ5M-uj5XW4sF I am full time with this online ministry now and if you want to support me continuing to create free content please c...

How we understand the repeated teaching that we are not "under the Law" is really important. I'll look at one example of how some in the Hebrew Roots movement interpret this phrase and then we will compare that with what the Bible says to see if it's viable. This is part 4 in my series on the Hebrew Roots movement. Here is the link to the whole playlist. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZ3iRMLYFlHuOD_BytSxbejzCnGPOcgFw Here's the original video from 119 ministries - https://youtu.be/CWWg9...

The first public message of Jesus is a condensed gospel message. I think that it boils down the gospel to certain essential truths that we need to be sharing when we evangelize. In particular we will look at the concept of repentance and how pervasive it is in gospel preaching in the New Testament. We'll answer some of the following questions. 1. Is calling people to repentance a normal part of gospel preaching? 2. Is repentance a work? 3. What is the biblical definition of the word "repent"? 4....

Does 2 Corinthians 5:14-15 teach Limited Atonement? Does it teach Universalism? Does 1 John 2:2 present a challenge to Limited Atonement? Disclaimer - This is not a comprehensive discussion of these topics but I have gathered some questions I have been sent about a few specific passages of scripture dealing with limited atonement (the L in the Calvinist TULIP) and universalism (the idea that all people will be saved). I expect many of my brethren who are Calvinists to disagree with a lot of what...

Many mysterious things happen in this passage. Jesus' temptation brings up the issue of how God could be tempted. It also raises the question of whether Jesus could sin or not. We also have some neat typology related to Moses, Adam, Israel and Jesus. And we will look at some information on Satan and how to pay attention to the spiritual battle you are in every day.

There is a growing movement of people teaching that followers of Jesus/Yeshua ought to be followers of the Old Testament Law. If we pay close attention to the book of Acts we will see that this is not the case. In this video we are surveying the book of Acts to answer some of the following questions. 1- When someone who already followed the Law of Moses believed in Jesus did they continue to follow it? 2- When someone who did not follow the Law of Moses believed in Jesus did they start following...

Most of us are naturally curious as to why Jesus underwent baptism. Especially since John baptized Jesus after saying the Bible says John preached a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins! In this video I'll explain why Jesus was baptized and what deep theological truths we learn from it. I'll also tackle some of the false teaching of Bart Ehrman about the gospel of Mark. Here's the playlist for the whole Mark series (videos added weekly) https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZ3iRML...

Most people don't realize that there are lot of good reasons to think Christianity is true. This video is meant to introduce you to a bunch of them and to help you get thinking about something called "the cumulative case for Christianity".

This may be the most important passage to those who say that all followers of Jesus should be obeying the Law of Moses (sometimes called the Hebrew Roots movement). To be honest, I really can understand why they interpret it that way, even though I disagree. This video will analyze Matthew 5:17-19 and Matthew 28:20 as they relate to the Hebrew Roots teaching as well as looking at some other often misunderstood things about the Law of Moses. Next week I will pick up where I've left off this week ...

I (Mike Winger) recently had the honor of teaching and leading communion in at my fellowship. As I prepared I thought that the Lord was leading me to teach on the topic of handling terrible stresses and heart breaking worries in a biblical way. This isn't just a self-help study for those who feel stressed by non-issues. This is biblical help for those who are worried to death or feeling totally overwhelmed by the anxieties and stresses they are facing in their lives. I pray that the truth of the...

As always I won't pretend to have all the answers but will try to share what I can that may be helpful and will do so from a place of trusting Christ and letting the Bible be the authority that it is.

Examining the slogan "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence". It may seem simple and true when you first hear it but when you really think it through it's full of problems. In reality this slogan is often used to keep people from following evidence to things they simply don't want to believe in or things that they don't already believe in. This video will be an attempt to thoughtfully work through this issue in the hopes that it will help people to avoid the subjective confirmation...

This is part 1 of a new series in the gospel of Mark. Today we look at evidence that Mark really is the author of the Gospel of Mark and that Peter and other named eyewitnesses were sources of the information in it. I'll generally be uploading one new video each week. Special thanks to Richard Bauckham and Tim McGrew whose work was really helpful in preparing for this teaching. HERE is the playlist for every video in the series (new ones added as they come out) https://www.youtube.com/playlist?l...
