Many topics and ramblings from me filtered through the lens of Gods word. I am not infallible and will definitely be wrong , my agenda is to walk with God and see whats his mind on every issue.
This Bible study covers Leviticus chapter 2, focusing on the grain offerings and rules for first fruits. It discusses seasoning offerings with salt as the covenant of salt and why certain first fruits portions are not burned on the altar. We explore the meaning of these offerings, the difference between oblation and sacrifice, and the role of frankincense. We share thoughts on careful Scripture reading while openly admitting areas we don't fully understand.
We continue our Leviticus study into chapter 2 after wrapping up chapter 1 thoughts. Benjamin Keach's book on biblical types is recommended. The talk compares viewing offerings as types pointing to Christ versus reading them first as plain historical text. We examine the voluntary burnt offering and its sweet savor to God. Leviticus 2 covers the meat offering of fine flour, oil, and frankincense without leaven or honey, with a memorial burned and the rest for Aaron's sons as most holy.
In this discussion, we review a viewer comment emphasizing the need to understand Scripture at face value using the literal grammatical historical method while warning against importing unrelated theological conclusions into the text. We then read and examine Leviticus chapter 1 verse by verse, covering the voluntary burnt sacrifices from herds, flocks, and birds. This includes key details such as placing hands on the offering, sprinkling the blood, washing the inwards and legs, and burning the whole as a sweet savor to the Lord. We also reflect on the role of the tabernacle, the necessity of mediation between God and man, and the broader theme of how believers should live after receiving salvation. Throughout, we aim to let the text speak for itself without reading ideas into the Old Testament that are not actually present there.
In this episode we wrap up our introduction to the Book of Leviticus. We explore its timeline between Exodus and Numbers. The discussion covers key approaches, including focusing on Christ and understanding the original Israelite context. We examine connections to Exodus events such as the Passover and tabernacle setup. We also debate pre-Leviticus sacrifices from figures like Adam, Cain and Abel, Noah, Abraham, and Job. The conversation touches on the role of prophets like Moses, Samuel, and Elijah, the challenges of hearing God's voice through one person, voluntary offerings, atonement for sin, and maintaining fellowship with God. Quotes from Chuck Missler and Andrew Bonar highlight the book's significance.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZF7ISVF7xM
This video continues an extended introduction to the Book of Leviticus, exploring why the book exists and its deeper meaning through the sacrifices and offerings. The discussion examines how these rituals serve as types and symbols foreshadowing Christ's sacrifice, with insights from historical commentaries. Topics include Old Testament believers' understanding of these elements, the role of grace and mercy within the law, symbolism in the tabernacle (such as the laver), comments on confession and blood application (particularly in Leviticus 16), the purpose of ongoing sacrifices in light of New Testament teachings from Hebrews and Acts, and the centrality of faith, a broken and contrite spirit, and meditating on Scripture for true insight into God's reconciliation of man to Himself through these shadows
In Acts 17:1-11, Paul reasons from the Scriptures in the Thessalonica synagogue over three Sabbaths, showing that Christ must suffer and rise again (referencing Isaiah 53:10), leading some Jews, Greeks, and women to believe. Envious unbelieving Jews stir up a mob against Jason and accuse the believers of proclaiming another king, Jesus. Paul and Silas flee to Berea, where the Bereans are called more noble for eagerly receiving the word and searching the Scriptures daily to verify the teachings.
This video launches a series through the Book of Leviticus with a full reading of Chapter 1 and discussion of the burnt offering instructions—from cattle, sheep/goats, and turtledoves/young pigeons. It covers the voluntary male-without-blemish requirement, atonement process, priestly duties, and the whole sacrifice as a sweet savor to the Lord, while touching on themes of holiness, reconciliation, and foreshadowing of Christ's sacrifice. Brief note on recording issues.
Acts chapter 16, we explore Timothy's background in Derbe and Lystra as the son of a Jewess and a Greek father, his circumcision by Paul to reach the Jews without linking it to salvation, and the principle of sacrificing personal liberty for the gospel's sake as outlined in 1 Corinthians 9:19-23. The discussion covers Paul's journey through Phrygia and Galatia, being forbidden by the Holy Ghost to preach in Asia or Bithynia, and receiving a vision to go to Macedonia. In Philippi, it examines Lydia from Thyatira worshiping God and her household's baptism after hearing the gospel, the damsel possessed with a spirit of divination following Paul and Silas before her exorcism, their imprisonment and beating for disrupting profits, the earthquake opening the prison, the jailer's question of what he must do to be saved with the answer to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and their release after Paul asserts Roman citizenship.
In this study of Acts chapter 15, certain men from Judea teach that Gentiles must be circumcised after the manner of Moses to be saved, leading to strong dissension from Paul and Barnabas. They travel to Jerusalem to consult the apostles and elders, where Peter notes that Gentiles received the Holy Ghost by faith, just as the Jews, without the yoke of the law. James agrees, citing prophets, and decides not to trouble Gentile believers beyond abstaining from pollutions of idols, fornication, things strangled, and blood. A letter is sent to churches in Antioch, Syria, and Cilicia via Judas surnamed Barsabas and Silas. Paul and Barnabas later disagree over taking John Mark, who had departed from them in Pamphylia, and part ways: Barnabas sails to Cyprus with Mark, while Paul travels through Syria and Cilicia with Silas to confirm the churches. References include Galatians chapters 2 and 3 on justification by faith, not works.
In this Bible study on Acts chapter 14, Paul and Barnabas preach in Iconium (modern Konya, Turkey), leading many Jews and Greeks to believe despite opposition, then flee threats of stoning to Lystra and Derbe in Lycaonia, continuing to share the gospel defined in 1 Corinthians 15 as Christ's death for sins, burial, and resurrection witnessed by Cephas, the twelve, and over 500 brethren. In Lystra, Paul commands a lifelong cripple with perceived faith to stand, resulting in the man leaping and walking, though the crowd mistakes Paul for Mercury and Barnabas for Jupiter and attempts sacrifices until the apostles urge turning to the living God who created all things and left witnesses through fruitful seasons for all nations descending from Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth. After Jews from Antioch and Iconium stone Paul nearly to death, he rises, returns to strengthen disciples amid tribulation, ordains elders with prayer and fasting, and preaches through Pisidia, Pamphylia, Perga, and Attalia before reporting in Antioch how God opened faith to Gentiles. The study emphasizes believers' burden to reach others with the gospel, the need for steadfastness without forsaking assembly for mutual exhortation, and entering spiritual battle upon salvation while knowing God never leaves us.
In this video, I explore Acts 13:13-51, following the Apostle Paul's missionary journey from Paphos in Cyprus to Perga in Pamphylia and Antioch in Pisidia, as detailed in the Book of Acts. I examine the historical context of these locations in modern-day Cyprus and southeast Turkey, reflecting on Paul's extensive travels and their impact. The discussion focuses on Paul's sermon in the synagogue, drawing from Old Testament scriptures to proclaim Jesus as the promised Savior, and notes the varied responses from Jews and Gentiles. I also highlight how Paul's approach mirrors Stephen's message and emphasizes the importance of biblical truth
Hey everyone, let's dive into Acts Chapter 13, where I explore the early church in Antioch with prophets and teachers like Barnabas, Simeon called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen, and Saul (Paul). I talk about how the Holy Spirit set apart Barnabas and Saul for a special mission, the importance of prayer and fasting for growing faith, and a powerful moment where the false prophet Elymas (Bar-Jesus) is confronted, leading to Sergius Paulus' belief in the Gospel. Referencing Matthew 17:14-21 and John 3, I highlight how faith, miracles, and God's work point people to Christ. Let's stay encouraged as we see the Gospel spread to both Jews and Gentiles in the early church!
In this video, I dive back into the Book of Acts, covering Chapter 12. I walk through the persecution of the early church under Herod Agrippa I, the martyrdom of James, and Peter's miraculous escape from prison through divine intervention. I reflect on the power of the church's persistent prayer, the historical context of the Herodian dynasty as Edomites (referencing sources like Josephus), and the consequences of Herod's pride. Join me for an encouraging look at faith, miracles, and the growth of the early church.
In this final session on the Book of Hebrews, we focus on chapters 12 and 13, examining Esau's loss of his birthright and the nature of his repentance through the lens of Hebrews 12:17, referencing insights from Alexander Maclaren. We discuss whether Esau's repentance was genuine or simply regret, and what that means for believers today. The conversation also explores distinctions between the birthright and the blessing in Genesis 27:36, the structure and purpose of the exhortations in Hebrews 13, the importance of Godly living and endurance, and the role of church leadership in verses 7, 17, and 24. We address how Hebrews warns both professing believers and those who may not truly believe, especially in light of Hebrews 9:27 and 12:25–29. The session wraps with reflections on perseverance, holiness, and how Jesus Christ remains the same yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8). This concludes our walkthrough of Hebrews.
In this video, we continue our study through Hebrews chapters 11 and 12, focusing on enduring hardship, understanding chastening, and growing in maturity as believers. We examine what it means to run the race with patience, how the Bible defines chastening, and whether it is correction or punishment. The discussion also touches on church hurt, fellowship challenges, and how personal experiences shape spiritual growth. Throughout, we reflect on the example of Christ, the importance of pressing forward in the faith, and how believers respond when confronted with trials, conviction, or sin. Everything is weighed directly against the Bible.
Dive into this exploration of Hebrews 11, with a revisit to Hebrews 10 (fully covered in our previous video).

Topics include the priesthood, Melchizedek, the conscience-purging power of Christ's sacrifice, and comparisons to the Old Testament law. Referencing Romans, Galatians, and Alexander Maclaren's sermons, we examine how the Bible points to Christ as the fulfillment of the law, not a return to Jewish traditions or works. Perfect for those seeking a deeper understanding of Hebrews and biblical covenants

In this video, I take a deep dive into Acts 11 and explore Peter's encounter with Cornelius. Cornelius was a devout man who sought to truly know God, and through a Messenger , he was told to call for Peter. This event marked a significant turning point, demonstrating that salvation was not limited to the Jews but extended to the Gentiles as well.
In this video, I dive back into Acts chapter 10, picking up from verse 36 where Peter begins speaking to Cornelius, a Roman centurion, and his gathered friends. We explore the profound moment when Peter declares Jesus as Lord over all, challenging the Roman view of Caesar's lordship. I'll walk you through the narrative of how God's message of peace through Jesus Christ was for all people, not just the Jews, highlighting the miraculous event where the Holy Spirit descends upon the Gentiles, leading to their immediate baptism. This passage is key to understanding the inclusivity of God's plan for salvation, showing that through belief in Jesus, anyone can receive remission of sins. Join me as we unpack these transformative verses from Acts 10:36-48.
Cornelius a just man who seeks God.
