God’s Everlasting Covenants – Part 3, God’s Salvation

Jim — Sat, 07 Dec 2019 16:57:24 +0000

God’s Covenants and God’s Salvation Today I want to continue our study about God’s covenants. And I want to show you how God’s covenants, are intertwined, with God’s eternal “purpose”, which is the salvation of man’s soul. Often times, we refer to this “eternal purpose”, as God’s “plan of salvation”. But in Ephesians 3, verse 11, God calls it His “purpose”. Here’s what it says...

God’s Everlasting Covenants – Part 1

Jim — Sun, 17 Nov 2019 01:58:32 +0000

An Everlasting Covenant Today I want to talk about the subject, of what the bible calls, an “everlasting covenant”. The bible uses the phrase “everlasting covenant”, fifteen times, in the King James Version. That phrase is used fourteen times in the old testament, and once in the new testament. But the phrase doesn’t always refer to the same covenant. That phrase is actually used in reference to four different...

God’s Everlasting Covenants – Part 2

God’s Covenants With Man You’ll probably remember from last week, how I said that the bible uses the phrase “everlasting covenant”, in regards to four different covenants that He has made with man. The first one was the covenant of the rainbow in the sky, and God’s promise to never again destroy the world with a flood of water. That’s from Genesis 9, 11 thru 17....

Understanding God’s Covenants With Man – Part 5, The Schoolmaster

The Schoolmaster That Led To Christ. Last week’s lesson ended with Galatians 3:24, which says; “Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.” The word “schoolmaster”, as it’s used here in this verse, doesn’t specifically mean a teacher, but rather, it refers to one who is in charge of the total oversight of someone, or of a...

Understanding God’s Covenants With Man – Part 4, The Law Of Moses

Jim — Sun, 14 Oct 2018 21:09:29 +0000

The Covenant of the Law of Moses In our previous lesson, we learned that three of the laws which were a part of the law of Moses, and which governed Israel, were all given separately, prior to the ten commandments, and prior to the rest of the old covenant law. But yet, they’re all a part of the old covenant law of Moses. Here’s the three laws that...

God’s Covenants With Man Last week we focused on God’s covenant with Abram, which was a two-fold promise. First there was the physical promise which was specified in Genesis 15:18; “On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying; To your descendants I have given this land, from the river of Egypt, as far as the great river, the river Euphrates..” Then there was the...

Man Has Always Lived Under A Covenant With God Here’s just a little review of last week’s lesson; God made a covenant with Adam, in the garden. And the covenant also applied to Eve. And that covenant would have lasted throughout Adam and Eve’s entire physical life, if they hadn’t broken the covenant. But they did break the covenant, and thus God removed them from the garden,...

Understanding God’s Covenants With Man – Part 1, What Is A Covenant?

God Has Made Several Covenants With Man Last week I talked about the old covenant and the new covenant. And today I want to talk more about all of God’s covenants with man. There’s a lot of words that are synonymous with the word covenant. Here’s several of them; A covenant is the same as an agreement, or a treaty, or an alliance, or a pact. ...

Was Jesus A Christian ?

Jim — Sun, 16 Sep 2018 15:13:10 +0000

Was Jesus Jewish or Christian or Both? I had someone ask me last week; “Was Jesus a Christian? And I said; No, Jesus wasn’t a Christian. How could he have been? He was a Jew who lived under the old covenant law. A Christian lives under the new covenant law. So Christ wasn’t a Christian. The fella I was talking to couldn’t understand that. He said; How could...

Words Matter

Jim — Sun, 16 Sep 2018 01:36:37 +0000

The Words that We Use Make a Difference If you’ve been listening to the news at all lately, you’ve probably heard this said many times; “Words matter!” That’s been said regarding truth and lies. In other words; It matters whether the words that you are saying, are true words, or if they are lying words. And so I think we all have to agree, words do matter....
