Acts Lesson 4: A Meaningful Day {The Fully Come Pentecost} SEVEN FEAST DAYS’ OVERVIEW!
4d ago01:12:20Tap to summarizeA great SUMMARY of the 7 GOD-GIVEN FEAST DAYS, which serve as PROPHETIC PICTURE-TYPES of the MAJOR EVENTS in His OVERALL REDEMPTION PLAN (4 Spring Feasts: Christ's First Coming / 3 Fall Feasts: His Second Coming). The Feast of Weeks (in Hebrew, Shavuot and in Greek, Pentecost) is the fourth Spring feast given to Israel by God in Leviticus 23. It comes 50 days after the third Spring feast, the Feast of Firstfruits. It was on the 50th day of her "new life" (freedom from her bondage to Egypt) that God, from Mount Sinai, gave Israel the Torah (the Law). The rabbis declare this to be the "birth" of Judaism. Is it not fascinating that the same feast day is celebrated by the Jews as the birth of Judaism and by Christians as the birth of the Church! The Spirit's arrival on Pentecost 50 days after Christ's resurrection on the Feast of Firstfruits was the fulfillment of the Feast of Weeks. This is what Luke meant when he wrote, "And when the day of Pentecost was fully come" (Acts 2:1). A VERY IMPORTANT LESSON FOR THOSE WHO LOVE TO LEARN!
Transcribe →Acts Lesson 3: A Productive Wait {Selection of Matthias to Replace Judas: Right or Wrong?}
5d ago01:09:29Tap to summarizeThis lesson is on Acts 1:12-26 and what the disciples of Christ did after His Ascension. They were told by Him to wait in Jerusalem until they received the promise of the Father. We discuss all those we know were included in the 120 disciples, as well as others we speculate may have been included. We learn about their unified minds (they were all in "one accord") and their passionate prayers and the very high regard they had for the Word of God! We also discuss the decision of the eleven Apostles to appoint a replacement for Judas, who had betrayed the Lord (and had then hung himself). We discuss the three qualifications needed to be one of the Twelve. We also discuss how it was that Matthias, whose name means "gift of God," was chosen - and if this choice was "of God". Was not Paul the Lord's choice for Judas' replacement? Tune in to find out!
Transcribe →Acts Lesson 2: A Last Look {The Ascension - Up, Up, and Away!}
6d ago01:00:36Tap to summarizeThe Lord's final post-resurrection appearance. It took place in Jerusalem, where He was again with His Apostles, teaching them for the last time about Himself from the Old Testament Scriptures. When He completed His teaching session, He took His men to the Mount of Olives; the same place He had gone 43 days earlier to pray in Gethsemane and then allowed Himself to be arrested. It had been the appointed hour for Him to be lifted up on a cross to die for the sins of the world. Now, in His glorified, resurrected body, it was the appointed hour for Him to again be lifted up, but not on a cross! This time, He would defy gravity and return to the glory He had with His Father in Eternity Past. Do you know what the last act of the Lord Jesus was before He left this earth? He lifted up His forever nailed-scarred hands to bless the men He entrusted with the task of blessing the world with the message of the blessed Gospel of salvation in Him! Learn about Christ's Ascension, and the important words of two angelic messengers to the Apostles about His one-day Return!
Transcribe →Acts Lesson 1: The Continuing Work {Linking the 4 Gospels to the Book of Acts}
1w ago01:03:17Tap to summarizeThe Book of Acts is the natural out-flow of the four gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, John). It is really what we could call the fifth book of the New Testament "Pentateuch"! Although Acts is not considered a "gospel," it is an extension of them; it supplementary to them; it is an expansion of them. It is the record of the continuing story of Christ working through His Church (i.e. ". . . the Lord added to the church daily . . ." (2:47). The One working in Acts is the Ascended Christ, through His Spirit using the "mouths" and "hands" of the Church body. Acts, the inspired account of the first 40 years of the Lord working through His Church, presents for us a pattern of every other generation of the Church. It is an historical book, not a doctrinal book. It is "a pattern" for Christian enthusiasm, testimony, discipleship, mission-work, and church planting. Although the Lord's work of redemption for sin was finished, His work of evangelism, through His Church, was just beginning!
Transcribe →Heaven - Part II {More Misconceptions Corrected in this Exciting Glimpse of The New Jerusalem} NEW STUDY!
1w ago00:55:15Tap to summarizeIn this second part of our evangelistic, Scripture-based study on Heaven, we get a glimpse of the final phase of Heaven and the fulfillment of Christ's name, "Emmanuel" - "God with us". We discuss (among other truths from God's Word) such questions as . . . When will God finally wipe away all the tears of believers? How does Revelation 21:1 disprove “The Gap Theory?” What about the gates of pearl in the wall of the New Jerusalem? What is their significance? How large in the Eternal City? What is the shape of the Eternal City of God? A pyramid or a cube? What will the New Earth be like? What might be the reason the New Earth will no longer have seas (oceans)? Will there still be water in Heaven? How does Revelation 22:1 reveal the presence of the Trinity Members in the New Jerusalem? Will we eat and drink in Heaven and, if so, what? How is the one-Divine Authorship of Scripture shown from Genesis to Revelation? And much more . . . listen and make sure you will spend eternity in this "beyond imagination" final phase of God's dwelling place with the redeemed saints of all the ages!
Transcribe →Heaven - Part I {Often Asked Heaven Questions Answered from Scripture}
1w ago01:29:36Tap to summarizeFor all Caldwell Commentary study books go to scripturetruth.com or mazon.com In the first part of this two-part study, we discuss many things (all based solely on Scripture) about the place we commonly call Heaven. Some of the topics we cover are: Is Heaven a literal place? Who goes there? How? What is "the PassWORD" (so to speak) to Heaven? Can we be sure of our salvation? How does Scripture describe a believer's death ? What are the various “phases” (changes) that have or will take place from the “Pre-Creation” Heaven to the “New Jerusalem” Heaven? What are the four great announcements of the completion of great Divine works found in Scripture? What will believers’ resurrection bodies be like? Will we really receive a resurrected body or just live eternally in a bodiless soul? Will we still be "us" (the same personality, gender, race)? What will our "apparent age" be in Heaven? Will we be able to do fourth dimensional things, like the resurrected Christ did? Why will there be no marriage in Heaven? Will we know one another in Heaven? Will we have the same "family" relationships (i.e., parents, spouse, children, etc.) as we had on Earth? Will we remember our earthly lives in Heaven or will a "memory swipe" be needed to remove all our sorrow and tears? Are those in Heaven aware of what is happening on Earth? Is there an “age of accountability”? Do we become angels when we die? Is Heaven really without “time”? How has marriage been a continuous theme and spiritual message in Scripture from Genesis to Revelation? An exciting study on about a place you DO NOT WANT TO MISS! The Gospel is clearly presented, so share this message with those who need to know for certainly they will spend eternity with God!
Transcribe →What the Bible Says About Angels
1w ago01:06:28Tap to summarizeAngelology - the study of angels! This lesson contains a lot of information on angels. There is so much disinformation about angels in the world - everything from thinking that "good" people become angels when they die (totally false) to the blasphemous worship angels! When did God create the angelic host? Did Lucifer fall before or after God's creation of man? Are the total number of angels set forever or can they perish and/or reproduce? When was the last time the Bible records angels singing (a question most get wrong)? Why is it so much better to be a fallen human being than a fallen angel? Are there ranks among the angels? What about spiritual warfare in the heavenlies? How many archangels are there? What is the difference between cherubim and seraphim? Are there male and female angels? A very fascinating study!
Transcribe →"What on Earth is Going On?" Part 2 - NEW STUDY {End-Times' Indicators in the World Today}
2w ago01:13:07Tap to summarizeThis second part of this BRAND NEW STUDY, "What on Earth is Going On," looks at today's extremely alarming world scenario through the lens of prophetic Scripture! Discussed in this study are not only New Testament descriptions of "the last days" (which we are clearly in), but some very important "end times" Old Testament prophecies. These include the prophetic vision of Ezekiel's "Valley of Dry Bones" ... which is already partially fulfilled ... and his divinely inspired description of the yet-future "War of Gog and Magog" (the geopolitical alignment of the nations involved in this battle exist today for the first time in 2600 years)! We also summarize what many consider the greatest prophecy in support of the Identity of Jesus, the Messiah of Israel and the Savior of the world: Daniel's God-given "Seventy Weeks' Prophecy"! Not only did it predict the very day of His official presentation of Himself as Messiah to Israel, but this prophecy fully supports a Pre-Tribulation Rapture of Christ's Bride, the Church. Furthermore, it clearly teaches (as does "The Valley of Dry Bones Prophecy") that God has not replaced Israel with the Church! He will fully keep all His covenant promises with her! Romans 11:26! God has placed blinking neon signs everywhere to warn the world He is coming soon! DO NOT be like Israel at the time of Christ's First Coming, when she MISSED THE DAY OF HER VISITATION! Receive Him today as your sin-Substitute Savior, for He is LORD, and the Bible clearly proves that truth from Genesis to Revelation.
Transcribe →"What on Earth is Going On?!" - Part 1 NEW STUDY {A Jet-Tour Through God's Plan of the Ages}
2w ago01:18:03Tap to summarizeTake a "jet tour" through the entire Bible in this NEW STUDY, as we explore "God's Plan of the Ages" to see where we are today in HIS-story! This is an extremely powerful message to strengthen faith in the undeniable RELIABILITY OF GOD'S WORD - and to use the information learned in SHARING with others so their "eyes are opened" to the TRUTH of the GOSPEL of Jesus Christ! Many exciting prophetic picture-types of the Gospel throughout the Old Testament are presented - some of which may even surprise the seasoned Bible student.
Transcribe →Life of Christ Lesson 193b: The Grand Finale - Part II
2w ago01:09:19Tap to summarizeBetween the time of Christ's resurrection and His ascension, He met with His eleven Apostles numerous times (not all of them are recorded). That 40-day period of time was not only a time of fellowship, but, more importantly, of instruction. Luke 24:44049 contain the last recorded words of Christ in the four gospel accounts, and they were words that (1) opened the Apostles' minds (verses 44-47) and (2) promised the opening of their mouths (verses 48, 49). On His eleventh post-resurrection appearance, 40 days after His resurrection, the Lord left His men in a dramatic, climactic way they would never forget! It would motivate them the rest of their lives. That unforgettable moment was His Ascension! In the concluding passages of the Mark and Luke, plus Acts 1:9-11, we discuss 3 topics related to Christ's amazing Ascension: (1) His Return to Heaven, (2) His future Return to Earth, and (3) His Disciples' Return to Jerusalem. This is an exciting, emotional message; very inspirational and motivational.
