Elders in the church should be given respect but they should also be publicly rebuked when they refuse to repent of sin in their life. There should not be any favoritism or partiality shown to the leadership in this regard.
The Bible actually supports full time teaching elders being paid for their hard work in studying and teaching. We must though understand the Biblical limits placed upon just how much the elders should be supported by the local church.
Our "church family" is actually to be closer to us than our blood relatives at times. This means that those who are younger should take care of the elderly members, like older parents and holy widowed women. Sometimes though people do the opposite.
In first Timothy 4:7-16 Paul covers a variety of matters in writing to young Timothy. Timothy should be doing things like training himself in the Scriptures and taking heed to the doctrines he preaches. In all of this Timothy is admonished to not let any man despise his age as a youth.
The assembly of Yahweh is to be the pillar and the ground of the truth, teaching the truth and actively living it out in the midst of the world. At the same time the assembly is to reject demonic teaching, not paying attention to silly little myths.
Not only does there exist the position of elders in the assembly, but there is a second position known as the deacons. What does the word deacon or minister mean? What are the qualifications for a deacon? Can women serve as deacons?
In the assembly there exists two "offices" in leadership. One of these positions is known as the eldership or the work of overseeing. This position is one of servant leadership whereby the pastor takes care of the people in various ways.
Men and Women can both equally share in salvation. This however does not mean that men and women have the same role in life and in the assembly. Women have a unique role, one that Yahweh has graced them with upon the earth. Few women are taking that role today.
This sermon adresses both men and women. Men should be prayers and women should be dressing modestly and decently. Listen to hear teaching that is very rare in this day and time.
Do you believe that Yahweh is the Savior of all men? Do you believe that Yeshua died for everybody? This sermon examines Paul's instructions about who to pray for and also delves into a foundational truth that our salvation depends upon.
Sometimes people get downtrodden because of thinking about their past life of sin. They need to remember or know that Yeshua saves sinners, even chief sinners like Paul.
We have to understand the difference between what is primary and what is secondary. We can't budge on the primary, but we need to budge on the secondary. Learn what church is really about and not about in this teaching.
The story began in a very dark manner, but the ending is a wonderful account of a righteous marriage that made a baby who was the Grandfather of King David. In this message learn about where true happiness lies in the life of Yahweh's servants.
Here we see Naomi learning of Boaz for the first time, that is, after she had forgotten him because of her bitterness. We see Ruth being "coached" by Naomi to approach Boaz as he is lying down at the threshing floor, a place women usually did not come to.
Here we are introduced to a very strong, wealthy, holy, noble man named Boaz. Boaz is Yahweh's means to deliver Ruth (and Naomi) from the poverty they have been experiencing for many years.
Here we learn several lessons for today from reading a book that is thousands of years old. Learn how to really provide for your family, the difference between true and false repentance, and much more.
Sermon Update 8.2021. Whenever you hear a preacher preach on having a good eye, or a single eye (KJV) you will hear them say something about having a single purpose in life. "Be focused. Don't wander." That may be pretty good advice, but it's not what Yeshua was talking about when he mentioned each of these two eyes. What is the meaning then? To understand it we have to understand the concept of idioms, and we have to reach back into the Older Testament and read some key Scriptures.
Sermon Update 8.2021. One way Yeshua teaches we practice our righteousness is by not eating. When is the last time you fasted? This lesson also looks at how we harmonize Yeshua's command to "not store up treasures upon the earth" with all the examples of saints owning earthly possessions. How do we obtain treasure in heaven? How can our heart be in heaven?
Usually, when a presbyterian believer (among others) speaks to an "immersionist" about sprinkling in Scripture, the listener immediately "turns him off." Why? Because the immersionist doesn't believe sprinkling to be a proper mode. However, sprinkling is taught in Scripture. Listen to learn more.
How were you baptized? If you know what exactly the English word baptism means then you would know that there really is only one way to be baptized in water. Listen to learn why those in Christendom who sprinkle or pour water on people are really not baptizing them.
When professing Christians hear that someone believes baptism is part of the plan of salvation a host of objection arise. Scriptures like Acts 2:38 and 1 Peter 3:20-21 are usually thrown "under the water" and statements are made which make baptism really mean nothing.
Paul mentions the importance of baptism in his letters to the Romans and Galatians. We often miss the awesome implications about baptism by not considering the surrounding context of each of these passages.
What do you know about the wave sheaf of Leviticus 23:9-11? To most people it may not make a difference, but understanding the wave sheaf sheds much knowledge of understanding the timing of Yeshua's resurrection and presentation before the heavenly Father.
People have asked me over the years how we keep the Passover. This lesson is designed and intended to go through the ordinances of keeping Passover in simplicity. It is a short, verse by verse study through Exodus chapters eleven and twelve.
Before Yeshua was betrayed He attended a meal with His disciples. Many people today, theologians included believe that it was at this meal that Yeshua replaced the Passover with what is called in Scripture the Lord's Supper.
All through the book of Acts we see exactly how the apostles of our Messiah preached the good news to other people. Their preaching included teaching others about the water baptism commanded by our Messiah.
We sometimes have a difficult time believing what the Bible says about certain subjects or topics. This happens often when it comes to baptism as commanded by the Messiah in Matthew 28:18-20. People downplay baptism saying things like it is just an outward show and nothing else.
There are various baptisms mentioned throughout the Tanak (Old Testament), but there is one unique baptism that was prophesied about by the prophet Zechariah. The Priests and Levites during the days of Yeshua knew of this prophecy.
Baptism in water seems like a very simple step to take, and it is in some sense. Its significance though far outweighs the simplicity of its step. This is not because of what man says, but because of what Yahweh has said to man through His inspired Word.
What does the Bible say about demonic possession? Is it real? Can it really happen to people? This sermon takes a look at the Gospel according to Luke to discern just a little about how demons/fallen angels can possess human beings.
