Rightly Dividing the Word of Truth
PSA054 Survey of Ephesians and Conclusion mp3
In this message, we take a survey and review of the book of Ephesians, considering the overall themes and messages of the book from chapters 1-6, with a special focus on the concluding portion of the book.
In this message, we study the amazing events that took place on the first feast of Pentecost after the Lord’s resurrection and ascension. The disciples are all together in one place, when a sound like a violent wind is heard, and tongues of fire descend and rest on each of them. They begin to speak in other languages. The people hear them, and those from other countries all hear them speaking in their own, native dialects. They do not know what to make of it. Peter explains that this is what was foretold by the prophet Joel. We examine Joel’s prophecy, what it means, and how this relates to it.
In this message, we begin our studies in the book of Acts with the first chapter. Introducing this, the second book by Luke. The Lord’s words to His disciples concerning the kingdom set the stage for the Acts period. His ascension, and what the angels said about His return. A replacement for Judas is chosen.
PSA053 The Middle Wall Broken Down mp3
In this message, we discuss the “middle wall” that was broken down in Christ according to Ephesians 2. What was this wall? I discuss the two walls that were broken down at that time, and which one Ephesians 2 is talking about. What do we fail to understand about the Jews living outside the land of Israel at that time?
PSA052 The Grace That Raises Us mp3
In this message, we discuss the difference between the two important phrases, “dead to sin” and “dead in sin.” Which one is being talked about in Ephesians 2:1-10? What is the Lord saying to us in this passage about the grace that raises us up together with Christ and seats us together with Him?
In this message, we begin a study of the book of Acts with an introduction to the book. What was the purpose for which the book of Acts was written? What is the focus of the book? Why does it end where it does?
PSA051 Christ’s Birth and the Shepherds mp3
In this message, we examine the story of the birth of Christ from Luke 2, and the visit of the shepherds afterwards. There are many traditional ideas that are attached to this story, which many of us have learned from childhood. Yet do all these ideas have a basis in the Bible record? What can we gather about the “real” Christmas story from the Word of God?
In this message, we complete our study of the book of Joel. First, we examine the very significant passage quoted so prominently in Acts 2, regarding the outpouring of the Spirit before the great and awesome day of the LORD. Then, we have revealed for us the things the LORD is going to do as the millennium begins and He restores His blessed, kingdom conditions to the earth, and deals with those who rebelled against Him in the tribulation.
PSA050 What Those In Christ Need mp3
In this message, we complete our study of the longest sentence in the Bible. Then, Paul prays in the light of all the things that he has proclaimed are true of us in Christ in the first fourteen verses of the chapter. He prays to the Lord for the things that those in Christ need.
