Sermons and radio broadcasts from Ministers of the New Covenant Fellowship located in Georgia. A congregation that holds to faith in Yeshua and keeping the commandments of Yahweh.
Brother James gives us two Old Testament examples of people with faith. In both cases faith produces works that people could visually see and hear and read about for future generations. Listen to learn more about the harmony between Paul and James in regards to justification.
Are we saved by faith? The answer is yes, but the faith that saves us is a living faith, one always accompanied by works.
The centurion soldier was not only a man of great humility, he was also a man of great faith. A faith that even amazed Yeshua, and had not been found by Yeshua, even in Israel.
The Roman centurion spoke so much truth when he told the Master to not trouble himself, because he wasn't worthy for Yeshua to come under his roof. Every single one of us should speak the same way to the Master.
The rich man can often buy his way out of a problem, but the poor man has to trust in something greater. We must all learn to not esteem our belongings more than our faith, and not esteem others based upon what they have or their social status.
We forget the exhortation that Yahweh disciplines His children whom He loves. We must accept it, receive it, and realize that what's best for us is what Yahweh decides we need. If we feel like giving up, we should look to Yeshua who has suffered ahead of us.
It seems that in our modern times people are interested in popularity and popularity contests. What does James have to say about showing partiality?
Christ is certainly our Savior. He saves us sinners from death. Is Christ our Savior ONLY our Savior? Listen to learn about what following Christ means for you and me.
Has Yeshua existed from all eternity? What is the logos in John 1? How did Yahweh create the heavens and the earth? These questions and much more are dealt with as we examine John 1:1-3 as well as verse 14 in this ongoing series responding to Torah Resource Radio.
There are texts in Scripture that speak of only one Mighty One (God). There are also texts in Scripture that speak of other gods, legitimate mighty ones created and/or authorized by Yahweh. How do we harmonize these texts? How does this relate to the person of Yeshua of Nazareth?
Is Yeshua THE Creator? What exactly is the logos (the word) in John 1:1? Did second temple period Israelites (before Yeshua was born) believe in the concept of a co-equal, co-eternal person that would eventually come and be the promised Messiah? These questions are answered in this lesson, among other points discussed.
It is very easy for us to jump a few outward hoops and appear to be pious in front of others. But what is pure religion? What is good by the standard of the Almighty?
Two simple steps to consistent Christian growth is daily Bible reading and prayer. Do these and grow. Forget these and shrink.
Did the Israelites gather twice as much manna on the sixth day of the week for the Sabbath? Listen to learn about Yahweh, the need supplying Mighty One of Israel.
Only listening to the Word of Yahweh is no different than looking at your dirty face in the mirror and walking away without washing it off. Listen to learn an important attribute of faith.
Recently a book I co-authored has been discussed on Torah Resource Radio. This is the first part in a detailed response to that discussion as well as some accusations of blasphemy and being anti-Yeshua.
What did James mean when he said we should be quick to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger?
Just some thoughts that I've been thinking about personally over the last year or so. Hopefully they are a blessing to parents. Song at the end of the lesson.
Yahweh answers the Israelite grumblings with bread from heaven; angels food. He teaches them to rely on His direct supernatural power. This isn't the only bread of heaven mentioned in Scripture though.
James 1:18 says that Yahweh, by His own choice, gave us a new birth. Do we believe this verse?
The first in a series of expository sermons on Exodus 16. Deals with some aspects of translation, calendar, and the problem of murmuring and grumbling rather than being thankful for all of Yahweh's blessings.
What is the Day of Atonement all about? Listen to learn about law, sin, guilt, substitution, forgiveness, and most of all, Messiah.
Whenever we undergo temptation and sin, is Yahweh responsible? Surely he could have steered us in another direction? Listen to learn about admitting our failures and accepting responsibility in our sanctification.
We may come to the Master, and even listen to the Master, but if we do not act upon what we are listening to then we are foolish. This may sound simple, but it is the reason why we often do not see the results in our life that we think should be there. We can't expect anything different to happen if we keep failing to act upon our Messiah's teachings.
Evil works are produced by an evil heart. Good works are produced by a good heart. But if all of our hearts are evil, how does one obtain or get a good heart? Listen to learn of our sinfulness, but Yahweh's greatness, grace, and mercy.
Continuing in the One Name Tradition series, I cover Philippians 2 in more detail along with beginning to cover some intricacies in Matthew 28:19, and the debate between Oneness Pentecostals and Classic Trinitarians. This one promises to get you thinking.
We are all blind leaders and blind followers. Left to ourselves we would all end up in the pit. We must solely rely on the only teacher who is not blind to teach us. Only then will we constantly see the sinner that we are, and be encouraged by His love to slowly become more like our teacher.
This lesson finishes covering Jeremiah 23 and then delves into other passages (Acts 7 and Philippians 2). What does Paul mean when he says that the Son was given the name which is above every name? When was the Son given this name above every name?
Trials are... trials. They are tough, and unpleasant when we go through them. But they are given to us by Yahweh to make us into who He would have us to be. We should pray for wisdom to know how to go through them, not escape them. If Yahweh has blessed you with faith, that faith will get you through every trial, no matter how hard it may seem.
This broadcast begins to look at Scriptures that are commonly used to teach the Oneness or One Name doctrine. The texts dealt with here are John 5:43 and 46, Matthew 21:9, and Jeremiah 23:5-6.
