Baptism Part 5

PA565 Baptism Part 5 mp3 In this message, we continue our study of the Biblical uses of the baptism family of words throughout the New Testament. We have seen in our study of its uses in Matthew and Mark that baptism was a Divine addition to the religion God gave Israel: performed by a priest, and heralded only to Israelites. Nothing tells us to figure out the method of baptism, and then find someone to perform it on us. Now, we cover its uses in Luke, John, and Acts, and see what further we can...

Baptism Part 4

PA564 Baptism Part 4 mp3 In this message, we insist that if baptism, the water ritual, is as important and meaningful as the declarations of many would indicate, then every professed lover of God’s truth should take a searching look at every Biblical passage that speaks regarding it. Therefore, we begin just such a study, considering the occurrences of every one of the baptism family of words from the books of Matthew and Mark....

Christ’s Bitter Opposition

PSA306 Christ’s Bitter Opposition mp3 In this message, we consider that Christ’s ministry was opposed by His bitter enemies. These included His supernatural enemies, Satan and his demons, and His human enemies, like Israel’s religious leaders and, to a lesser extent, political leaders like Herod, Pilate, and the Romans. What can we learn from the opposition Christ and His message faced during the Gospel Period?...

Baptism Part 3

PA563 Baptism Part 3 mp3 In this message, we consider water baptism, which most assume to be a Divine ordinance, decreed by Jesus Christ, and that He intended it to be binding on all those who profess relationship to Him. Yet if so, why does Paul say what he does in I Corinthians 1:17? We must ask ourselves: should we baptize? What baptism is important for today? Holy Spirit baptism? Water baptism by immersion, by sprinkling, or by pouring? Or is there another baptism more important than either ...

Christ’s Treasury of Teachings

PSA305 Christ’s Treasury of Teachings mp3 In this message, we consider that Christ brought forth many important lessons and concepts out of His treasury of teaching in the Gospel Period. There are large sections of all four gospels taken up by His words. John 6:66-68, these are the words of eternal life. We consider these words He taught and the treasures He brought forth....

Parables of the Gospel Period

PSA304 Parables of the Gospel Period mp3 Christ told many parables during His earthly ministry. He told parables teaching important truths about the coming Kingdom of God. He told parables teaching His listeners important truths they needed to know at that current time. He told parables against His enemies showing up their behavior, activities, and hypocrisy. In this message, we consider some of these parables, and the lessons they teach us....

Baptism Part 1

PA561 Baptism Part 1 mp3 Throughout the history of Christendom, no ritual has been given so much importance as that of water baptism. Yet it has constantly been the cause of much controversy and contention.Many questions are raised by water baptism. Should it be by immersion or by pouring or by sprinkling? Should only clergy perform it, or can any baptized person baptize others? Should it be done in a church, or at an outdoor body of water? Should it be done on believers or infants? Should it be...

Christ’s Earthly Ministry

PSA303 Christ’s Earthly Ministry mp3 In this message, we consider Christ’s earthly ministry during the thirty-three years of His time on earth. The Gospel Period is centered around the incarnation, and is recorded in the four gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. The four gospels have different purposes and focuses, presenting Jesus Christ from different perspectives. The climax point in all four gospels is the death, burial, and resurrection of our Lord. We consider these things, and the tr...

Psalm 149:1-150:6

PA560 Psalm 149:1-150:6 mp3 In this message, we consider the final two psalms in the book. The last five psalms are “Hallelujah” psalms, probably written by good King Hezekiah, who may have finalized the book. Psalm 149 is given as a new song for Israel. Presenting the nation as it will exist in the glorious kingdom of God to come. Finally, Psalm 150 is an invitation to all flesh to praise and worship Israel’s Mighty God, Yehovah. Then, as we close out the book, considering “Psalm 151” as it app...
