Part 31 The Resurrection of Christ – Foundation of the Gospel of theKingdom (1 Corinthians 15:1–8)In this teaching, we uncover why the resurrection is not just a doctrinal detail but the foundation of the Gospel of the Kingdom. Paul reminds the Corinthians that the gospel he received is rooted in the Torah, the Prophets, and the Writings - and fulfilled in Messiah Yeshua.Let's explore the resurrection as the central event confirming the New Covenant.How Paul and the apostles preached the same Gospel as Yeshua-centered on the Kingdom, covenant restoration, and resurrection power.The connection between Exodus 32, the golden calf, and the shift from a national Melchizedek priesthood to a temporary Levitical system.How Yeshua restores the original priestly order, fulfilling Psalm 110:4 and Hebrews 5–8.Why the resurrection is our assurance of victory, identity, and eternal purpose.Resurrection is proof of the Messiah's identity (Romans 1:4) and the ratification of the New Covenant (Hebrews 7).Covenant-breaking at Sinai led to the establishment of the Levitical priesthood, but Yeshua restores the Melchizedek priesthood.The apostles didn't preach a shallow gospel. They preached the restoration of the kingdom, fulfillment of the covenant, and the Messiah's reign.Embrace the full gospel—not a reduced version.Live in the power of the resurrection.Step into your priestly identity in Messiah, restored and renewed.This message is a call to return to the apostolic, covenant-based gospel thattransforms hearts and nations.

An Eternal Perspective | Live Zoom Call Message Welcome to the message segment from our weekly Zoom call.In this session, we are reminded to live with an eternal perspective - grounded in the Gospel, strengthened in faith, and pressing toward the Kingdom of God. 1 Thessalonians 2:10–12 “You are witnesses, and so is God, of how holy, righteous and blameless we were among you who believed... encouraging, comforting and urging you to live lives worthy of God, who calls you into his kingdom and glory.”Paul's pastoral heart shines here as he reminds us how to walk faithfully in our calling - as children of God, living lives worthy of His kingdom. Revelation 11:15 “The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Messiah, and he will reign for ever and ever.” This powerful verse reveals the ultimate reality: God's reign is eternal and will one day be fully revealed. 1 Corinthians 15:1–2 “By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you...” A timely reminder that salvation is not just about receiving the Gospel once - but about standing firm in it daily. In This Teaching: Encouragement to live with purpose and urgency A call to walk in holiness and truth as faithful witnesses Reflection on the Gospel's power and the coming Kingdom of God Let this teaching strengthen your heart, align your focus with eternity, and inspire you to live boldly for Yeshua, our Messiah.

Rejecting Deliverance Theology | Historical Overview & Biblical ResponseI have enclosed a personal letter for everyone listening to this serieshttps://member.bulldozerfaith.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Introduction-Letter-for-the-Series-Deliverance-Pitfalls.pdfIn today's teaching, we explore the historicaldevelopment of the deliverance ministry movement - from early churchpractices to modern-day trends- and why it departs from sound biblicaldoctrine.Key Points1st- 3rd Century: Exorcism was forunbelievers prior to baptism—not for Spirit-filled believers.1970s Onward: Teachers like Derek Princeand Frank Hammond introduced controversial doctrines—e.g., believerdemonization, naming spirits, generational curses.1980s - 1990s: Sensational teachings (e.g., RebeccaBrown) led to paranoia and spiritual confusion.Biblical Pushback: Leaders like John MacArthur,R.C. Sproul, and even Assemblies of God rejected these teachingsas unbiblical and harmful.Why It Spread: Emotional testimonies, spiritualsensationalism, and lack of discipleship left many vulnerable. CommonErrors ExposedConfusing sin with demon possessionReplacing sanctification with exorcismPromoting fear over faithUndermining the finished work of MessiahWhat the Bible TeachesFreedom comes through repentance, truth,and discipleship (John 17:17; Romans 6–8).The Holy Spirit dwells in believers - notdemons (1 Cor. 3:16).Our identity in Christ gives lasting victory (Gal.2:20; Col. 2:15).Goal of this SeriesTo equip the Body of Messiah with biblical truth, expose error, and restoreconfidence in the power of the Gospel - not deliverance formulas.Let's walk in truth, freedom, and maturity—together.

A Balanced Understanding of Biblical Anointing In this teaching, we confront the growing misuse of the term “anointing” in modern charismatic/Pentecostal circles. Many have equated anointing with emotional experiences or mystical feelings, but the Bible paints a different picture- one centered on Christ, empowered by the Spirit, and grounded in truth and mission. We unpack key Scriptures- Isaiah 61:1- 2, Luke 4:18-19, Acts 10:38 - to clarify that the anointing is not a transferable “force” or atmosphere, but the divine empowerment for ministry rooted in God's calling and purpose. We also expose common false teachings that turn the anointing into a spiritual hierarchy or subjective feeling. You'll learn: • What the Bible really teaches about the anointing • Why the modern "felt presence" doctrine is dangerous • How all believers share in the true anointing through union with Christ • How the gospel, not mystical power, sets people free. Let's return to a Christ-centered, Spirit-empowered, and Scripture-driven understanding of the anointing. 25 Days of Spiritual Growth Devotional (PDF Download)https://member.bulldozerfaith.com/product/25-days-of-spiritual-growth-devotional/

Breaking the Chains – Rethinking Generational Curses in Light of God's Justice | Exodus 20:4–6In today's teaching, we take a deep theological and scriptural look at Exodus 20:4–6, a passage often misused by modern deliverance ministries to justify the idea of “generational curses.” We explore how this verse fits with God's justice, the biblical emphasis on personal responsibility (Ezekiel 18:20, Deuteronomy 24:16), and the transforming power of the gospel.We uncover that Exodus 20 does not teach inherited guilt but warns of consequences for those who continue in the sins of their ancestors—“those who hate Me.” Far from imposing mystical curses, the Bible reveals the persistence of generational patterns, not demonic bondage passed through bloodlines.Key truths include:God's justice is personal and redemptive.Generational sin patterns are broken through repentance, not deliverance rituals.The Cross is sufficient—Christ became the curse for us (Galatians 3:13).You are not bound by your ancestors; in Messiah, you are a new creation (2 Cor. 5:17).This message frees believers from fear-based teachings and calls them to walk in truth, obedience, and the power of the Spirit.

Delivered From the Domain of Darkness – Colossians 1:13 | Biblical Truth vs. Modern Deliverance Myths25 Days of Spiritual Growth Devotional https://member.bulldozerfaith.com/product/25-days-of-spiritual-growth-devotional/In this teaching, we expose the errors of violent, experiential deliverance practices commonly found in today's ministries—screaming demons, naming spirits, and emotional manifestations. Using Colossians 1:13 as our anchor, we contrast these claims with sound biblical doctrine rooted in salvation, sanctification, and Spirit-filled living.We address five common “deliverance” categories—anger, lust, addiction, generational curses, and trauma—and show how Scripture calls us to crucify the flesh, renew our minds, and walk in the Spirit.We also uncover the theological dangers of false deliverance teachings: denying the sufficiency of Christ, promoting fear over faith, and twisting biblical authority.True freedom is found not in rituals, but in Christ alone.

True Freedom in Messiah - A Biblical Response to Deliverance Ministry Myths 25 Days of Spiritual Growth Devotional https://member.bulldozerfaith.com/product/25-days-of-spiritual-growth-devotional/In this teaching, we confront the growing errors within many modern deliverance ministries that externalize sin—labeling struggles like anger, lust, and addiction as demons to be cast out—rather than dealing with the biblical call to repentance, renewal, and spiritual growth.We explore how Scripture teaches freedom through salvation, sanctification, and Spirit-filled living, not through repeated exorcism rituals. Jesus cast out demons from unbelievers as a sign of the Kingdom, but for the born-again believer, the focus is on putting off the old nature and walking in the Spirit.Topics covered include:The truth behind so-called "spirits of anger, lust, and addiction"Why generational curses don't apply to those in ChristMisinterpretation of Mark 16:17 in modern deliverance practices.The biblical pattern of transformation through the Word, not performance-based deliverance.Anchored in verses like Galatians 5, Romans 6, and John 8:36, this message helps believers walk in true biblical freedom - not fear, theatrics, or confusion.

The Whole New Creation: Spirit, Soul, and Body — Redeemed and Protected in MessiahExposing the Lies in Today's Deliverance MovementThis teaching confronts the false idea that only the spirit is saved at new birth, leaving the soul or body vulnerable to demon possession. It affirms the biblical truth that the entire person—spirit, soul, and body—is redeemed in Messiah.1. Salvation Is Whole-Person Redemption1 Thessalonians 5:23 – God sanctifies us entirely: spirit, soul, and body. Salvation is more than spiritual rebirth—it includes the renewing of the soul and the future glorification of the body.2. Stages of Salvation (Past, Present, Future):Justification (Spirit – past): Born again (Titus 3:5)Sanctification (Soul – present): Ongoing renewal (Romans 12:2)Glorification (Body – future): Resurrection to immortality (Romans 8:23)3. New Creation Means Fully Transformed Identity2 Corinthians 5:17 – In Messiah, old things pass away.We are not fragmented beings; in the Hebraic view, salvation touches every part of us.4. Born-Again Believers Cannot Be Demon-Possessed1 Corinthians 6:19 – Your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit.2 Corinthians 6:14–16 – Light and darkness cannot cohabit.Luke 10:19; Colossians 1:13 – Believers have authority and are transferred from darkness.Possession is not possible where the Holy Spirit dwells. Influence? Yes. Possession? No.5. Temptation Is Not PossessionBelievers may face external attacks (James 1:14), but nowhere does Scripture show demon possession of the redeemed.6. Walking in the Fullness of RedemptionRomans 12:1–2; James 1:21 – Renew the mind, yield the soul, offer the body in service.You are saved, sealed, and called to grow in maturity, not fear.Exposing the Roots of the False Teaching:False Claim: “Only your spirit is saved; your soul or body can be demon-possessed.”Rooted in: Pagan Greek dualism (Plato): Spirit good, body evilGnostic heresy: Secret knowledge frees spirit, ignores bodyNew Age mysticism: Rituals cleanse body/soul from “energies”These systems deny the biblical unity of the person and sufficiency of Christ's work.The Biblical, Hebraic View:• We are unified beings created in God's image (Genesis 2:7).• The Holy Spirit indwells the believer fully (John 14:17; 1 Cor. 6:19).• The whole person is redeemed, protected, and sealed (Ephesians 1:13).Conclusion:• This false teaching fosters fear, diminishes Christ's finished work, and opens doors to New Age practices dressed in Christian language.The truth:You are fully saved in Messiah—spirit, soul, and body.You are sealed, secure, and victorious over darkness.No demonic power can inhabit a born-again believer.“If the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.” – John 8:36“Greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world.” – 1 John 4:4

We Don't Heal the Old Man — We Bury Him | Exposing the Lies in Today's Deliverance MovementIn this teaching from our Zoom call, we expose the errors of flesh-focused deliverance that keeps believers in introspection instead of freedom. True deliverance comes not through counseling the old man but through walking in the finished work of Messiah. We cover key scriptures such as Galatians 2:20, 2 Corinthians 5:17, and Romans 6:6 to show that our old identity was crucified with Christ — we are now a new creation!Learn why deliverance is about spiritual authority, not digging into the pastDiscover how identity in Christ is the key to lasting freedomUnderstand why trying to “heal the flesh” is rebellion against the crossReclaim biblical deliverance rooted in the Word and the Spirit, not introspection or trauma recoveryKey Scriptures: Galatians 2:20, Romans 6:6, 2 Corinthians 5:17, Luke 10:19, Hebrews 10:14

In today's teaching — Part 30: Order in Worship and the Silence of Women (1 Corinthians 14:26–40) — we dive deep into Paul's instructions for orderly worship in the assembly. Worship is to reflect God's nature: peaceful, structured, and centered on Christ, not confusion or chaos.We explored how spiritual gifts like prophecy, teaching, and tongues must aim at mutual edification, not personal promotion. Every contribution must strengthen the Body of Messiah in love and unity, fulfilling Christ's prayer for oneness in John 17.Special focus was given to the often misunderstood verses about women remaining silent. By examining the Old Testament foundations (Genesis 2, Numbers 30, Deuteronomy 31) and Paul's own examples of women in ministry (Priscilla, Phoebe, Junia), we saw that Paul addresses disorderly disruptions during the judging of prophecy — not issuing a universal ban on women speaking or ministering.Paul draws from Torah principles of creation order and community respect, not from the fall's consequences. His instruction upholds Spirit-led, respectful participation for both men and women, ensuring that worship remains edifying and ordered.Key Points Covered:Worship must be orderly and Spirit-led (1 Corinthians 14:26–33, 40).Women actively participated in ministry and were not silenced (Acts 18:26; Romans 16; 1 Corinthians 11:5)."As the Law says" likely refers to creation order (Genesis 2) and community order, not Genesis 3's curse.Paul's concern was maintaining peace and proper judging of prophecy.Worship should mirror the unity and order found in the nature of God Himself.Let's continue to build a community of believers who worship in Spirit and in Truth, honoring Christ's authority and promoting unity in the Body.Scriptures Highlighted:1 Corinthians 14:26–40, Ecclesiastes 3:1, John 17:21, Genesis 2:18–24, Numbers 30, Deuteronomy 31, 1 Corinthians 11:5"Let all things be done decently and in order." — 1 Corinthians 14:40

Part 29: Prophecy and Speaking in Tongues (1 Corinthians 14:1–25)In this live teaching recorded during our weekly Zoom gathering, we explored the powerful truths behind Paul's instruction on prophecy and tongues in the assembly. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 14:1–25, we examined the purpose and proper use of spiritual gifts — not for chaos or spectacle, but for edification, understanding, and order in the Body of Messiah.Old Testament ConnectionWe began with Moses' heart in Numbers 11:29 — “Would that all the Lord's people were prophets!” — connecting it to the prophetic promise of Joel 2:28 and its fulfillment in Acts 2. This shows God's desire that His people speak by the Spirit for the strengthening of the community.Purpose of the GiftsPaul makes it clear:• Tongues = personal prayer and praise (1 Cor 14:2, 4),• Prophecy = encouragement, edification, and comfort to the assembly (v. 3).The goal is not emotional hype, but spiritual clarity. "Let all things be done for edification" (v. 26).Interpretation – Two ViewsWe discussed the two primary views on interpretation of tongues:1. Communication to God – interpreted tongues as public praise or prayer (1 Cor 14:2, 16–17).2. Message from God – interpreted tongues as prophetic messages (v. 5, 12), similar to prophecy.Biblical Conclusion: Both views find harmony in Scripture. Tongues are directed to God, but the Spirit may interpret or redirect them as edifying words for the Body — just as Hannah's prayer (1 Sam 1) became a prophetic catalyst. We used a detailed comparison chart to highlight how tongues, interpretation, and prophecy intersect from a Hebraic perspective.Christ-Centered InsightWe connected this to Acts 2:1–4 where tongues at Pentecost were a sign of the Spirit's outpouring. Paul later notes in 1 Cor 14:21–22 that tongues are a sign to unbelievers, while prophecy brings conviction and glorifies Messiah. The Spirit always points us to Jesus (John 16:13–14).Link to Firstfruits and ResurrectionEven though our passage is chapter 14, Paul's broader flow leads us into chapter 15. Just as Messiah is the firstfruits of the resurrection (1 Cor 15:20–23), the gifts of the Spirit are firstfruits of our inheritance (Rom 8:23; Eph 1:13–14). They are signs of the coming Kingdom — we live in the “now but not yet,” awaiting full redemption.Questions:• Why is prophecy more beneficial in public worship than tongues without interpretation?• How do the gifts today reflect the “firstfruits” of what is to come in Messiah's Kingdom?• How can our gatherings reflect God's peace and order, not confusion (1 Cor 14:33)?Spiritual gifts are not the goal — they are tools that build up the Body and point us toward resurrection life in Messiah. Let's use them in order, humility, and love.

Part 28: The Enduring Power of Love – Maturity, Hope, and the Message of the Cross | 1 Corinthians 13:8–13In today's devotional teaching, we explore the eternal nature of charity (agape love) as the greatest of all spiritual virtues. While gifts such as prophecy, tongues, and knowledge will one day pass away, love never fails — it is the enduring reflection of God's covenantal faithfulness.We'll uncover how Paul ties this deep truth to the journey of maturity in Messiah, and how this connects powerfully with the themes of Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread.• Why love (charity) is greater than spiritual gifts• Growing from spiritual immaturity to Christ-like maturity• Faith, hope, and love — and why love is the greatest• Passover connections: the Lamb, covenant love, and deliverance• The centrality of Messiah in fulfilling the Torah through loveScriptures1 Corinthians 13:8–13 | John 15:13 | Exodus 34:6 | Hebrews 8:10–11 | Romans 8:29 | 1 John 4:8 | John 17:3 | Colossians 3:14 | Ephesians 4:13–14 | 2 Peter 1:4Questions:• How does God's eternal love shape your spiritual walk?• What "childish ways" is the Lord calling you to leave behind this Passover season?• Are you letting love be the greatest in your life?Join us as we continue this powerful journey through 1 Corinthians 13 and embrace the call to walk in divine love — the more excellent way.

Join us for Part 27 of our 1 Corinthians series: “Charity Never Fails” as we explore 1 Corinthians 13:1–7 — a powerful passage on the supremacy of agape love. Today's devotional reveals that charity (agape) is not merely an emotion, but a covenantal, action-based love that reflects the very heart of God. We'll draw rich connections to the Hebrew concept of “chesed” (חֶסֶד) — God's steadfast, covenantal love — and explore how Paul's teaching echoes the Torah, the Prophets, and the teachings of Messiah. Highlights: Why spiritual gifts are meaningless without love (vv.1–3) How love reflects God's covenant character (Exodus 34:6–7, Hosea 2:19–20) Jesus' conversation with Peter in John 21 and its powerful Greek wordplay on agape vs. philia How do we walk in agape within the Body of Messiah today? What does charity reveal about true spiritual maturity? How does Jesus perfectly model agape love? How can we walk out this love in unity, humility, and service? Let the Excellence of Love shape your walk and ministry as we rediscover the “more excellent way” that Paul proclaims. 25 Days of Spiritual Growth Devotional https://member.bulldozerfaith.com/product/25-days-of-spiritual-growth-devotional/

Part 26: The Assembly as One Body (1 Corinthians 12:12–31)Unity in Diversity Under the Lordship of MessiahIn this powerful teaching, we explore what it means to be one body with many members—each vital, each placed by God, and all under the headship of Yeshua. Paul uses the human body as a metaphor, reminding us that every believer has a role and function in the spiritual community.We reflect on Paul's Damascus Road encounter, where Yeshua said, “Why are you persecuting Me?”—revealing the intimate connection between the Messiah and His people.We also draw a profound connection to Passover, when Christ gave His life to unite us in Him. Just as Israel was delivered to become a kingdom of priests (Exodus 19:6), we are redeemed to function together in love, service, and unity.Key Scriptures:1 Corinthians 12:12–31Exodus 19:6Colossians 1:18Acts 9:4 (Paul's encounter)John 17:20–21 (Messiah's prayer for unity)Themes Covered:Unity in diversityHonoring every part of the bodyServing under Yeshua's LordshipDangers of pride and comparisonLiving in covenant with one anotherLet this message stir your heart to walk in your calling, value others' gifts, and build up the Body of Messiah with humility and love.Don't forget to like, share, and subscribe for more teachings that connect the Hebraic roots of our faith with the life-transforming power of Yeshua the Messiah.

Part 25: Gifts of the Holy Spirit | 1 Corinthians 12:1–11In today's teaching, we explore how the gifts of the Spirit operate under the Lordship of Yeshua, rooted in truth and covenant faithfulness. We link these gifts to the foundational events of Passover and the outpouring of the Spirit at Shavuot (Pentecost)—showing how God's appointed times prepare and empower His people.• The function of each spiritual gift in the Body of Messiah• Old Testament roots for each gift (Joel 2:28, Exodus 12)• Guarding against counterfeit spirituality• Preparing ourselves to receive and rightly use the giftsFrom wisdom to healing, tongues to discernment, each gift is a manifestation of the Spirit for the common good (1 Cor. 12:7).Discover how Passover prepares us spiritually to walk in holiness and be empowered for service.ScripturesJoel 2:28 | Exodus 12 | 1 Corinthians 12:1–11 | Acts 2 | John 14:26Watch now and ask:What gift is the Spirit awakening in you?How does your understanding of Passover shape your spiritual walk?

No One Speaking by the Spirit of God Says Jesus Be Cursed | 1 Corinthians 12:1–3 In this eye-opening broadcast, we unpack one of the most overlooked yet foundational teachings in 1 Corinthians 12:1–3. Paul warns believers not to be uninformed about spiritual matters—and today, that warning is more relevant than ever. Before diving into spiritual gifts, he calls us to examine the source of our experiences and boldly declares: “No one speaking by the Spirit of God says, ‘Jesus be cursed,' and no one can say, ‘Jesus is Lord,' except by the Holy Spirit.”What You'll Learn in This Teaching:• Why spiritual experiences must be tested by Scripture and centered on Yeshua (Jesus) as Lord• How practices like “Christian yoga” and untested prophetic words lead to spiritual mixture• The difference between emotional manifestations and true Holy Spirit empowerment• Biblical discipleship that equips you to walk in truth, faithfulness, and covenant loyaltyRooted in the Word:• 1 Corinthians 12:1–3• Jeremiah 10:2, 1 John 4:1• Hebrews 5:14, Galatians 5:16• Deuteronomy 13, Leviticus 10, Psalm 115This teaching is a call to return to discernment, purity in worship, and Christ-centered discipleship. Before we seek signs and wonders, let's first ensure our foundation is built on the Lordship of Jesus, obedience to the Scriptures, and walking in the true Spirit of God.Perfect for: Bible study groups, spiritual gift seekers, those coming out of New Age or mixture, and anyone hungry for the pure move of the Holy Spirit.Subscribe and share this message if you desire a Spirit-filled life rooted in truth and discernment!

In today's ministry time on the Live Zoom call, we explored the powerful connection between Isaiah 54:17 and the Passover story—a timeless declaration that no weapon formed against you shall prosper. We reflected on God's covenant faithfulness shown in Exodus 12, where the blood of the lamb protected Israel and brought deliverance from Egypt. This foreshadowed the ultimate victory found in Yeshua the Messiah, our Passover Lamb, whose sacrifice breaks the power of sin, death, and fear.Through 1 Corinthians 5:7, we see that the triumph of the Exodus becomes our spiritual inheritance in Messiah. This is not just history—it's your story. The weapons of the enemy—whether fear, oppression, or accusation—are broken through the power of the blood. Just as Israel walked out of Egypt in freedom, we too are called to walk in the liberty that Yeshua has secured for us.Isaiah 54:17 doesn't just offer comfort—it declares identity. “This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord.” It reminds us that we are not just survivors, but overcomers with a divine inheritance. The blood on the doorposts in Egypt was a sign of belonging, and today, the blood of Yeshua marks us as God's redeemed people. That blood still speaks, still covers, and still protects.As we ponder the Passover season, take a moment to consider your own journey. Where has the enemy tried to forge weapons against your life? In what ways has God shielded, restored, or delivered you? This is a time not only to remember the past but to declare your present victory in Messiah. Share your testimony and step forward in faith—no weapon formed against you shall prosper.

The True Meaning of Faith | Misuse vs. Biblical Faith ExplainedIn this foundational teaching, we explore the true meaning of faith according to Scripture—rooted in trust, obedience, and covenant relationship with God—not as a “force” to control or manipulate spiritual outcomes.We begin with the biblical truth from Ephesians 2:8-9, showing that salvation is by grace through faith, not by works or mystical force.We then correct false teachings such as “faith as a force” or “the faith of God,” often based on misinterpreted verses like Mark 11:22. Faith is not a power you wield—it is trust in God rooted in relationship and obedience.Using examples from Genesis, Deuteronomy, Romans, Galatians, and Hebrews, we establish that faith is always relational and Christ-centered, never mechanical or self-powered.We also unpack Hebrews 11:1, showing that “faith is the substance/confidence” fully aligns with the biblical view of trust in God demonstrated through action.Finally, we dive into the spiritual gift of faith (1 Cor 12:9), showing real examples from Elijah (1 Kings 17) and Paul (Acts 14) where this supernatural trust led to miraculous outcomes.Whether you're seeking clarity, correcting error, or growing deeper in your understanding of biblical faith, this episode will ground your faith in truth, covenant, and Christ.Ephesians 2:8-9, Mark 11:22, Genesis 15:6, Hebrews 11:1, Romans 3:22, Galatians 2:16, 1 Corinthians 12:9Subscribe for more teachings rooted in the Word and centered on the Messiah!

Part 23: The Lord's Supper – Restoring the Biblical Perspective (1 Corinthians 11:17-34)In 1 Corinthians 11:17-34, Paul addresses the Lord's Supper, drawing from Passover imagery while also correcting issues surrounding regular fellowship meals. This passage raises an important question: Was Paul referring to Passover or a common community meal?Passover References:Paul recalls the night Jesus was betrayed (1 Cor 11:23), connecting it to the Last Supper meal (Luke 22:14-20). I like to call the rehearsal Passover.The bread and cup symbolize Christ as the Passover Lamb (Exodus 12, 1 Cor 5:7-8).Paul emphasizes self-examination before partaking (1 Cor 11:28), similar to Passover's requirement for purification (Exodus 12:15, 2 Chron 30:17-20).Some suffered sickness and death (1 Cor 11:30), echoing the consequences of improperly observing Passover (Exodus 12:15). Community Meal References:Paul rebukes them for eating selfishly, where some were hungry while others indulged (1 Cor 11:20-21).The instruction to eat at home (1 Cor 11:34) suggests they were treating this meal more as a common feast than a solemn occasion.The early believers broke bread daily (Acts 2:42-46), indicating that remembrance meals were frequent, not just annual.Paul establishes the Passover foundation for the Lord's Supper but applies it to regular communal gatherings. The Corinthians were failing to honor the sacred meaning of their meals, turning them into occasions of division rather than unity.Watch now to uncover the biblical context behind the Lord's Supper!

Why Do People Fall for the Spiritual Covering Lie? | 1 Corinthians 11:3-10Many believers have been taught that they must submit to a "spiritual covering"—a leader or church hierarchy—to have protection and authority in their spiritual walk. But is this concept biblical? In today's lesson, we dive deep into 1 Corinthians 11:3-10 and explore the difference between biblical authority and man-made hierarchy.Biblical Leadership – True authority in the body of Christ is based on servanthood and equipping, not control (Matthew 20:25-28).False Spiritual Covering – Many churches enforce unbiblical submission, claiming believers need human leaders for spiritual protection. This contradicts Colossians 2:20-22 and the sufficiency of Christ's atonement.Who is Our True Covering? – Scripture teaches that Jesus alone is our covering, and the Holy Spirit leads and protects us (Galatians 3:27, John 16:13).Biblical Submission vs. Spiritual Control – True submission is mutual and voluntary, while false control demands blind obedience (Ephesians 5:21 vs. Acts 5:29).Many fall for this deception due to fear, manipulation, and tradition. But freedom in Christ breaks the chains of false authority! Join us as we uncover the truth and walk in biblical freedom.Scriptures Covered: 1 Corinthians 11:3-10, Matthew 20:25-28, Colossians 2:20-22, Galatians 3:27, John 16:13, Acts 5:29, and more.Subscribe and share if you want to break free from religious control and walk in true biblical faith!

In today's teaching on 1 Corinthians 11:1-16, we explore God's design for headship and honor in worship. Paul reminds believers that worship should reflect God's divine order, just as seen in Genesis 1:27 and throughout Scripture. The passage connects to the Old Testament's teachings on authority, submission, and worship, emphasizing that true honor comes through Christ-centered obedience. While cultural symbols like head coverings had meaning in the first-century fellowships, the heart of Paul's message is about glorifying God in all things. Jesus Himself demonstrated humble submission to the Father, showing us that honoring God's structure is not about oppression but about unity and divine purpose.Join us as we unpack the biblical foundation of headship, worship, and the role of men and women in God's design, always pointing to Christ as the head of the Assembly.

Flee from Idolatry - 1 Corinthians 10:14-33In this teaching, we explore Paul's powerful warning to flee from idolatry and remain fully devoted to Christ. Drawing from Israel's history, Paul shows how idolatry leads to spiritual destruction and reminds believers that they cannot mix their worship of God with worldly influences. We examine how this passage connects with 1 Corinthians chapters 8 and 9, emphasizing the balance between believers' freedom and responsibility. The Lord's Supper is a covenant of loyalty to Christ, and believers must glorify God in all they do. This message challenges us to examine our hearts and remove anything that competes with our devotion to Jesus.

In today's teaching, we explore Paul's warning to believers by looking at Israel's failures in the wilderness. Even though they experienced God's miracles, their disobedience led to judgment. Paul reminds us that just as Israel was "baptized into Moses," yet many fell due to unbelief, we must also ensure our faith is active and enduring.Key Lessons from Israel's Sins:• Idolatry (Exodus 32:6) – The golden calf and turning from God.• Sexual Immorality (Numbers 25:1-9) – Sin led to destruction.• Testing God (Numbers 21:5-6) – Complaining brought judgment.• Grumbling (Numbers 16:41-49) – A lack of trust led to loss.Christ-Centered Insight:Jesus is the true Rock of our Salvation (1 Corinthians 10:4)—the One who provides living water (John 7:37-38). Just as Moses struck the rock and water flowed, Christ was struck once for our salvation (Hebrews 9:28).Final Warning & Encouragement:• 1 Corinthians 10:12 – "If you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don't fall!"• 1 Corinthians 10:13 – "God is faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear."• Jesus endured temptation in the wilderness (Matthew 4:1-11), showing us how to overcome through the Word of God.Are you learning from Israel's past or repeating their mistakes? Stay firm in Christ, for He alone is our Rock and Redeemer!Watch now and be strengthened in your faith!

The Right to Receive Support | 1 Corinthians 9:1-18 | Paul's Apostolic Authority & Sacrificial LeadershipIn this teaching from 1 Corinthians 9:1-18, we explore Paul's defense of a minister's right to financial support while also highlighting his selfless decision to forgo it for the sake of the gospel. Drawing from Deuteronomy 25:4, Paul shows that just as an ox must not be muzzled while treading grain, those who labor in ministry should receive provision. However, Paul chooses not to claim this right, following the example of Christ, who came not to be served, but to serve (Mark 10:45).What does the Bible say about supporting ministers?How did Jesus affirm the principle of provision? (Luke 10:7, Matthew 10:10)Why did Paul refuse financial support, and what can we learn from his example?This teaching will challenge and inspire believers to understand Kingdom generosity, the role of giving in ministry, and how sacrificial service reflects Christ's heart.Key Scriptures: 1 Corinthians 9:1-18, Deuteronomy 25:4, Numbers 18:21-24, Luke 10:7, Mark 10:45Join us as we dive deep into the Word, revealing Christ through Paul's teachings!Subscribe & Share to Support the MinistrySupport BulldozerFaith & Gottalife Ministrieshttps://member.bulldozerfaith.com/give

How should believers approach the issue of food sacrificed to idols? In 1 Corinthians 8:1-13, Paul teaches that while idols are nothing, our freedom in Christ must be guided by love and responsibility. This study explores the continuity of the Torah, showing that the law remains relevant for believers today—not as a means of salvation but as God's righteous instruction.We'll dive into key Old Testament foundations, including Exodus 20:3, Deuteronomy 6:4-5, and Isaiah 45:5, to understand how Paul's message aligns with the Torah.

Your Body is the Temple of the Holy Spirit – Lesson 13 (1 Corinthians 6:12-20)In today's teaching, we examine Paul's exhortation in 1 Corinthians 6:12-20, where he warns against abusing Christian freedom and engaging in immorality. While we are justified by faith, we are still called to live righteously and honor God with our bodies. Paul reminds believers that their bodies are not their own but are the temple of the Holy Spirit.We also address a common theological misconception: Many claim the Mosaic Law is abolished, yet Jesus (Matthew 5:17-19) and Paul (Romans 3:31, 7:12) affirm the continued importance of God's commandments. Our viewpoint needs to align more closely with biblical truth over common theological belief if, when testing against scripture, we are brought to recognize that the New Covenant writes God's law on our hearts (Jeremiah 31:31-33) rather than removing it.• Freedom in Christ is not a license to sin.• Jesus and Paul uphold the Torah as relevant for believers today.• The body is sacred and must be kept pure as the dwelling place of the Holy Spirit.• The New Covenant calls us to holiness, not lawlessness. 1 Corinthians 6:12-20Are you honoring God with your body?

“For the kingdom of God is not a matter of talk but of power.” – 1 Corinthians 4:20In today's devotional teaching, we explore Paul's powerful message to the Corinthians about spiritual authority, correction, and the true power of God's kingdom. The Kingdom of God is not just about words—it is demonstrated through power!

“Now it is required that those who have been given a trust must prove faithful.” – 1 Corinthians 4:2In today's devotional we explore what it truly means to be a servant of Christ and a faithful steward of God's mysteries. Paul reminds us that faithfulness is tested through endurance, humility, and suffering, just as it was for Jesus and His apostles.

“Jesus said, ‘Feed my sheep.'” – John 21:17In John 21, Jesus restores Peter after his denial, reminding him of his calling and commissioning him to feed His sheep. This powerful encounter reveals three key lessons for every believer:

“Throw your net on the right side of the boat and you will find some.” – John 21:6In today's devotional time, we explore the powerful lessons behind Jesus' command to cast the net on the other side. This was more than just a fishing miracle—it was a call to trust, obedience, and transformation.

Isaiah – The Old Testament Evangelist foretold the complete plan of salvation fulfilled in Jesus Christ. In today's study, we uncover 10 key steps to salvation as revealed in the book of Isaiah, showing how God's redemptive plan was always centered on Jesus, the Messiah.

In today's teaching, we uncover three major Old Testament themes that reveal Christ as the true dwelling place of God:“Don't you know that you yourselves are God's temple and that God's Spirit dwells in your midst?” – 1 Corinthians 3:16 God's Presence in the Tabernacle & Temple – His glory once filled physical structures, but now dwells within believers (Exodus 25:8-9, 1 Kings 8:10-11).God's Promise to Dwell Among His People – Jesus fulfilled this as Emmanuel (God with us), and the Holy Spirit now lives within us (Ezekiel 37:27, John 14:16-17).Jesus as the True Temple & Cornerstone – Christ is the foundation of our faith, and believers are living stones in His spiritual house (Psalm 118:22, Isaiah 28:16, 1 Peter 2:4-6).

In today's devotional study, we focus on the importance of Christ as the only foundation of our faith. Paul warns against spiritual immaturity and urges believers to build their lives on Jesus, not on human leaders, traditions, or temporary things that will not last. Everything we do will be tested by fire, revealing whether our works are built on gold, silver, and costly stones (Spirit-led works) or wood, hay, and straw (temporary, fleshly efforts).Spiritual Immaturity & Growth – Moving beyond divisions and learning to build on Christ.Christ as the Only True Foundation – Recognizing Jesus as the cornerstone of our faith (Psalm 118:22, Matthew 21:42).The Testing of Our Works – Everything we do will be tested by fire to reveal its eternal value (1 Corinthians 3:12-15, Malachi 3:2-3).Biblical Examples – Job's endurance (Job 23:10), the Rich Young Ruler's misplaced priorities (Matthew 19:16-22), and Abraham's faith test (Genesis 22:1-14).

In today's devotional teaching, we explore what it means to have the mind of Christ through the Holy Spirit. Paul teaches in 1 Corinthians 2:10-16 that believers are transformed in thought, wisdom, and discernment as they align with the Spirit of God. True thoughtfulness is more than politeness—it is a spiritual discipline that reflects Christ's love and wisdom in our thinking, decisions, and relationships.The Holy Spirit renews our mind, replacing natural thinking with spiritual wisdom (Romans 12:2, James 3:17)The Spirit reveals God's thoughts, guiding us into truth, patience, and grace (John 16:13, Philippians 2:5)The mind of Christ guards against negativity, bringing every thought into obedience (2 Corinthians 10:5, Philippians 4:8)Thoughtfulness in action—letting our words and relationships reflect Christ's kindness and forgiveness (Colossians 4:6, Ephesians 4:32)

In today's study of 1 Corinthians 2:1-10, we explore how true wisdom comes not from human reasoning, but through the revelation of the Holy Spirit. Paul emphasizes that God's mysteries, hidden for generations, are now revealed in Christ to those who are spiritually mature.“What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived—the things God has prepared for those who love him.” – 1 Corinthians 2:9 (NIV)Key Points:Paul's reliance on spiritual wisdom, not eloquence (1 Corinthians 2:1-5)The Holy Spirit reveals Christ, the fulfillment of God's hidden wisdom (Colossians 2:2-3)Isaiah 64:4 prophesied that God's plan of salvation was concealed until Christ's comingHuman wisdom cannot grasp the things of God, only the Spirit can reveal them

Join us for today's Spirit-filled broadcast as we dive into 1 Corinthians 1:18-31, "But to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.” – 1 Corinthians 1:24In today's study of 1 Corinthians 1:18-31, we explore how God's wisdom defies human expectations. While the world seeks intellectual reasoning and philosophical wisdom, the cross of Christ is considered foolishness to those who rely on human understanding. Yet, it is the power of God for salvation!Key Teaching Points:Why the cross appears foolish to the world (1 Corinthians 1:18-25)How God uses the weak to shame the strong (1 Corinthians 1:26-31)Old Testament prophecy in Isaiah 53:3 – The Messiah's suffering was a mystery to Israel, just as the cross is a mystery to the world today.1 Samuel 16:7 – God looks at the heart, not outward appearance; His wisdom is beyond human reasoning.

1 Corinthians 1:10-18 – “I appeal to you, brothers and sisters, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another in what you say and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly united in mind and thought.”In today's teaching on biblical unity, we explore Paul's powerful message to the Corinthian Assembly and how believers can remain united in Christ despite differences. Many misunderstand unity as uniformity, but true believers' unity is about love, purpose, and devotion to Jesus, even when believers don't always agree on secondary matters.What You'll Learn in This Teaching: Jesus' Prayer for Unity – John 17:20-23 and the spiritual oneness in Christ Disagreement vs. Dissension – The difference between healthy debate and division Why Dissension is a Work of the Flesh – Galatians 5:19-21 warns against contention Practical Steps to Maintain Unity – Love over arguments, avoiding quarrels, and upholding the gospel Paul teaches that disagreements are natural, but they must not lead to destructive divisions. Instead, believers should prioritize Christ over personal opinions, allowing love and humility to lead in all discussions.

In this powerful teaching from 2 Corinthians 1:12 – 2:4, we explore Paul's deep love and pastoral wisdom as he addresses the Corinthian fellowships. Faced with accusations of unreliability, Paul defends his integrity and sincerity, explaining that his change of plans was not due to deceit but out of love and discernment. His leadership was guided by God's wisdom, not human ambition, teaching us that true spiritual leadership requires humility, honesty, and a heart for restoration.Paul's decision to delay his visit was not about avoiding conflict, but rather a strategic and compassionate choice. Instead of confronting them in harshness, he chose to give them time to repent through a heartfelt letter. This highlights a vital lesson—correction should always come from love, not control. As believers, we must seek restoration, not condemnation, when addressing issues within the body of Christ.Join us as we break down Paul's message and uncover key biblical principles for spiritual leadership, integrity, and godly correction.
