Paul could have used hamartia because we know through most of the text he uses hamartia. But here he uses this, and there’s a specific reason. Now, let me go through this all at one time and make sure that we’re all on the same page, because this is one where I don’t want anybody [...]

When it says, “having predestinated us,” proopisas hemas eis huiothesian, not what it sounds like in the King James when it says “adoption.” What does the text say? It says, “the adoption of children by Jesus Christ.” That’s okay, but the Greek says “sonship.” It says, “He foreordained us to sonship,” which is a lot [...]

All giving should be worship. It is a contraction of two words: “worth-ship.” I once saw an engineer say the offering was a “downer” on the service. I thought, “My Lord, what a bad foundation of truth has been planted in him.” The most worshipful act that we do in the Church is giving out [...]
Pastor Melissa Scott tells us that what’s so amazing is when Paul catalogs what we call the autobiography section. You’d be surprised at how people say, “Well this doesn’t correlate with some other accounts elsewhere.” Let me just say this to you. If we had to chronicle Paul’s life, every single day, we’d have volumes [...]

I Corinthians 10:16, “The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion,” koinonia, “of the blood of Christ?” This text became the passage for people to grasp for transubstantiation. It is not. Please don’t ever think that I even go that way. Pastor Melissa Scott tells us that but we are joint-participators. [...]

Well if you look through and we’ll be looking at these different things in the Hebrew come maybe next week, God willing. I put a text on the board that accompanies those texts that I just read you of a willing heart, of a good heart, freely, because the burnt offering was done voluntarily just [...]

I don’t normally do this, but I want to answer a question. Somebody called in and said “I can’t believe,” some response from a viewer, “I can’t believe that she doesn’t believe in evolution.” But when that call came in, whoever read me the message, I laughed and I said “I have to address it [...]

Now, because it’s easy to paint it something else. It’s easy to say well far removed. Why is there a ‘but’ attached to what Jesus did? And please don’t laugh. It’s not meant to be funny. If Jesus paid like the song says ‘He paid it all.’ Then it’s paid in full. And whatever somebody [...]

You’ll see something. If you have occasion go and read back in Matthew 13 at a later time – maybe this week – you’ll see all of those: the sewer, the four different soils. Pastor Melissa Scott tells us that all of these are depictions of a type. There are people who believe that the [...]

Now why does Jesus have to say ‘the Son of God.’ And by the way somebody wasn’t sure that it was Jesus talking. He just confirms it. A lot of people say ‘well I can’t believe that’s Jesus. I need…’ This is what He’s saying. Why Son of God? Why is He using that? First [...]
