Founded by Meseret Warner, Ignite Investment has taken on the ambitious task of enabling equity crowdfunding in Ethiopia, a country where capital markets had been almost non-existent until recently. In today's episode, Meseret shared how her platform is connecting Ethiopia's burgeoning entrepreneurs with the African diaspora to overcome geographic and financial barriers.“Ethiopia never had capital markets in the country,” Meseret explained. “But now we have a new proclamation in 2021... and equity investment crowdfunding is one of them.” This regulatory breakthrough has allowed Ignite Investment to operate in Ethiopia under a sandbox model, enabling the platform to test innovative financial systems while adhering to local laws.What makes Ignite Investment's approach unique is its focus on the African diaspora. Every year, billions of dollars flow from the diaspora back to the African continent, primarily as remittances. Meseret has created a mechanism to transform these funds into equity investments that support Ethiopian entrepreneurs. “Our target market is the African diaspora that sends billions and billions of dollars… as remittances and even investment,” she said.One of Ignite's recent successes is a rideshare company addressing the transportation challenges in Addis Ababa. This venture, which connects commuters with a network of minibus drivers through an Uber-like system, has nearly closed its fundraising round thanks to Ignite's platform. Meseret revealed, “They could have been oversubscribed because there are a lot more people interested to see them.”This is no small feat. Meseret's persistence has helped Ignite Investment craft partnerships with organizations like Zemen Bank and the African Development Bank, facilitating cross-border investments and providing vital financial infrastructure. Her team's partnership with GIZ, the German development agency, also helps local companies become more attractive to investors by improving transparency and governance.Ignite Investment is more than just a crowdfunding platform; it is a bridge between Ethiopia's untapped innovation and the global capital it needs to thrive. Meseret's vision extends beyond her home country, with plans to expand into other African nations.For investors in the diaspora and beyond, Ignite Investment offers an unprecedented opportunity to support impactful businesses while earning financial returns. Meseret's work is a testament to the power of persistence, innovation, and a belief in the potential of African entrepreneurs.tl;dr:Ethiopia's regulatory progress enabled Ignite Investment to launch equity crowdfunding under a sandbox model.Meseret Warner connects diaspora wealth with Ethiopian entrepreneurs, fostering impactful investments across borders.Ignite's partnerships with Zemen Bank, GIZ, and the African Development Bank strengthen its financial infrastructure.A rideshare company solving Addis Ababa's transportation issues exemplifies Ignite's successful ventures.Meseret's persistence has been key to overcoming challenges and scaling Ignite Investment's mission to other African nations.How to Develop Persistence As a SuperpowerMeseret defines her superpower as persistence, a trait she's relied on during her 11-year journey to build Ignite Investment. She shared that overcoming regulatory hurdles and scaling an innovative platform in Ethiopia required unwavering determination. “Every year, I tell my husband, next year is my year… and then, of course, it doesn't happen. But I always see the light at the end of the tunnel,” she said. Persistence, combined with resourcefulness and partnerships, has been key to her success.Meseret recounted how her persistence helped her navigate Ethiopia's regulatory bottlenecks to establish equity crowdfunding. Ethiopia lacked a formal capital market, but Meseret engaged with regulators, participated in public consultations, and leveraged partnerships to secure a spot in the regulatory sandbox. After six years of groundwork, Ignite Investment is now operational, connecting diaspora investors with local entrepreneurs.Tips for Developing Persistence:Focus on the Big Picture: Identify a solution you believe in and let it guide your actions.Celebrate Small Wins: Acknowledge progress, even if it's incremental, to maintain motivation.Step Back Strategically: When facing challenges, reassess your approach and look for alternative solutions.Leverage Partnerships: Collaborate with individuals and organizations to solve specific challenges.Stay Resourceful: Continuously tap into your network to find answers and support.By following Meseret's example and advice, you can make persistence a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!Guest ProfileMeseret Warner (she/her):Founder and Managing Director, Ignite InvestmentAbout Ignite Investment: Ignite Investment is Ethiopia's First and Africa's Unique Equity Crowdfunding Platform to Unlock funding, grow businesses, transform economies and impact millions by connecting African entrepreneurs with equity investors from the diaspora and beyond.Website: igniteinvestment.comX/Twitter Handle: @ignitecrowd Company Facebook Page: facebook.com/IgniteFundersOther URL: youtube.com/watch?v=1on6Z4bAZPM&t=30s, instagram.com/ignitecrowdfunderBiographical Information: Meseret Warner – Founder and CEO of Ignite Investment, Ethiopia's first and Africa's few equity crowdfunding platform for facilitating financing for African SMEs and startups focusing on the over 80 Billion USD remittances the African diaspora sends to the continent every year.

Importance of Singing at Christian Baptism

Send us a textThe act of worship that is Christian baptism must contain the proclamation of the Word containing its institution and its meaning. A biblical way of enhance this service is to sing Christ centered  gospel focused hymns expressing Biblical truth to both the one being baptized and the body of worshippers participating in this gospel ordinance. Psalm 105:2 ESVSing to him, sing praises to him; tell of all his wondrous works!Glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice!There are examples of people who upon being baptized responded with rejoicing Acts 8, the newly baptized Ethiopian went on home rejoicing. The converted Philippian jailer upon hearing and believing the good news was baptized and  rejoiced greatly with all his household, having believed in God. Acts 16:34New Testament baptism presents conversion and baptism together. We must not separate what God has joined! The order of human response to God's sovereign move in grace is to repent-believe and baptized.One very important way of worshiping at the observance of baptism is to read appropriate scripture ,comment upon it and sing songs that express the meaning of the act to both the one being baptized and the others witnessing and sharing in this act of worship. Here are examples of two hymns that can be used.The servants of God are baptized,with Jesus made visibly one;come, Spirit, and clothe them with power,the world and its pleasures to shun.2. The servants of God are baptized,salvation revealed and displayed;come, Spirit, and seal on their mindsthe sacrifice Jesus has made.3. The servants of God are baptized,united with Christ in his death;come, Spirit descend on their soulsand fill with your life-giving breath.4. The servants of God are baptized,immersed in the tomb with their Lord;come, Spirit, and open their eyesto walk in the light of God's word.5. The servants of God are baptized,they rise up with Christ to new life;come, Spirit, abide in their heartsfor days of temptation and strife.6. The servants of God are baptized,with Christians made visibly one;come, Spirit, and rest on us nowto worship God's glorious Son.© Author Nick NeedhamWhen Jesus died upon the cross, when he was buried in the grave, he bore the judgement I deserved, that he, by death, my life might save.2. When Christ was raised from that same tomb he rose as firstborn from the dead: he broke the powers of sin and hell and lives for me, my risen head.3. And here I also die and rise, baptized into his holy name; with him I'm judged, with him I die- on me the law has no more claim.4. With Christ I'm raised up from the dead to live for ever with my Lord; alive to God, with this desire, to be obedient to his word.5. Now I am yours, O sovereign Lord: now come, and by your Spirit's power help me, with all your people here, to serve and please you from this hour.© Author/Praise Trust Peter Misselbrook https://www.praise.org.uk/themes/baptismBible Insights with Wayne ConradContact: 8441 Hunnicut Rd Dallas, Texas 75228email: Att.

On this episode of Rightly Dividing, we begin our look at the epistle of the apostle Paul to the Romans, and settle in to learn some hardcore, strong meat Bible doctrine. A study in Romans will show us the New Testament doctrines of salvation, redemption, sanctification, justification, predestination, adoption, regeneration, and glorification. Remember the Ethiopian eunuch from our study in the Book of Acts? He got saved with salvation by grace through faith by reading in the book of Isaiah. Another salient point to keep in mind that Paul is the apostle to the Romans, and not Peter as the Roman Catholic church falsely claims he is. There is no biblical record that Peter was ever in Rome.TONIGHT'S STUDY: Romans 8 is a treasure trove of scripture for topics like our victory in Jesus Christ, deliverance from the bondage of sin and regret, and the biblical doctrines of predestination and eternal security. Before God set the wheels in motion, He firmly set up exactly what anyone who got into His only begotten Son could expect to receive, He predestinated the plan of salvation, it's application and ultimate outcome. The only thing that remained to be decided was who would be the ones to receive it.

Evangelize is a big word. We call ourselves evangelicals in the Christian faith, but only three times does it occur on the pages of Scripture. Interestingly, Philip is the only person, the one and only person, who gets the unique designation of evangelist.Philip, because of his willingness to the spirit, because of his boldness for the gospel, because of his love for people, he is used by God for one of the most significant moments in the entire Bible. Some churches are known for their songs and their worship band, some churches are known for their pastors and their preaching, and some are known for their strategy and their branding.What if we, as Elevate City Church, were known as the people who just couldn't stop talking about Jesus?Some of us need to follow in the footsteps of Philip and be bold, while others of us need to receive the gospel and be baptized! 26 Now an angel of the Lord said to Philip, “Rise and go toward the south[d] to the road that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza.” This is a desert place. 27 And he rose and went. And there was an Ethiopian, a eunuch, a court official of Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, who was in charge of all her treasure. He had come to Jerusalem to worship 28 and was returning, seated in his chariot, and he was reading the prophet Isaiah. 29 And the Spirit said to Philip, “Go over and join this chariot.” 30 So Philip ran to him and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet and asked, “Do you understand what you are reading?” 31 And he said, “How can I, unless someone guides me?” And he invited Philip to come up and sit with him. 32 Now the passage of the Scripture that he was reading was this:“Like a sheep he was led to the slaughter and like a lamb before its shearer is silent, so he opens not his mouth.33 In his humiliation justice was denied him. Who can describe his generation?For his life is taken away from the earth.”34 And the eunuch said to Philip, “About whom, I ask you, does the prophet say this, about himself or about someone else?” 35 Then Philip opened his mouth, and beginning with this Scripture he told him the good news about Jesus. 36 And as they were going along the road they came to some water, and the eunuch said, “See, here is water! What prevents me from being baptized?” 38 And he commanded the chariot to stop, and they both went down into the water, Philip and the eunuch, and he baptized him. 39 And when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord carried Philip away, and the eunuch saw him no more, and went on his way rejoicing. 40 But Philip found himself at Azotus, and as he passed through he preached the gospel to all the towns until he came to Caesarea.Acts 8:26-40We'd love for you to subscribe to our channel and turn on notifications to get updates on our latest content and resources that will help more people know Jesus and people know Jesus more.GIVE : We believe that generosity is golden.

In Acts 8, Philip meets a man who had every reason to be excluded—an Ethiopian eunuch, rejected in the temple, treated as an outsider, and told he had no future. And yet, when he asks, “Is there anything to keep me from being baptized?” Philip's answer is simple: “No. Get the water.”In this message, Pastor Phil unpacks what this story means for us today. Baptism isn't about fitting a mold—it's about being welcomed into Christ, into His way, into His body, and into His resurrection life. No matter your past, your story, or the labels you've carried—there is nothing keeping you from belonging.

It's Thursday, September 4th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Sudanese police interrupt funeral service to arrest 5 Christians Police in Sudan disrupted a funeral prayer meeting last month to arrest five Christians. The Christians are South Sudanese. Police have been targeting Ethiopian and South Sudanese nationals for deportation as civil war rages in Sudan. Muslim extremists in the country are also calling for officials to arrest South Sudanese Christians in particular.  A local church leader told Morning Star News, “There is a growing fear among the South Sudanese Christians. So, they remain indoors in order to avoid being arrested.” Please pray for our brothers and sisters in Christ in Sudan. The Northeast African nation is ranked fifth on the Open Doors World Watch List of the most difficult countries to be a Christian.  Sudanese landslide killed 1,000 people Speaking of Sudan, the country suffered one of its worst natural disasters in recent history.  On Sunday, a landslide wiped out the village of Tarasin in the western region of Darfur. Only one person survived, leaving an estimated 1,000 people dead. The landslide came after weeks of heavy rainfall in the mountainous region. Getting aid to the area is already difficult due to the ongoing civil war. In recent years, Sudan's conflict has generated what is considered the world's largest humanitarian crisis.  25.9 million digital Bible downloads in 2024 The United Bible Societies Fellowship reached 240 countries and territories with millions of copies of the Bible last year. The Fellowship of Bible Societies facilitated 25.9 million digital Bible downloads in 2024. This outpaced full Bible printings for the first time. The fellowship distributed 22.5 million printed Bibles last year. It also distributed 8.6 million printed New Testaments and over 118 million printed portions of Scripture.  Brazil led the way in printed and digital distribution, followed by India, China, Nigeria, and the Philippines.  Brazilian homeschool mom lost her case in court Earlier this week, a Brazilian court heard a case of a mom prosecuted for homeschooling her son.   Regiane Cichelero was facing fines of $20,000 and threats of losing custody of her child, for daring to choose home education on religious grounds.   Alliance Defending Freedom International has taken up the case. Her legal counsel, Julio Pohl, points out that “No parent should fear state punishment for choosing to homeschool their child. Regiane made a lawful and conscientious decision to teach her son at home. We are hopeful that the court will affirm her rights and take an important step toward protecting parental rights in Brazil.”   Sadly, Cichelero lost the case.  She was ordered to re-enroll her child in Brazilian public school and ordered to pay the equivalent of $20,000 for not complying. She said, “We will take the case to the Supreme Federal Court and from there, if we continue to receive a ‘no,' we will take it to the Inter-American Court of Human Rights.” She had a special message for the Christian homeschoolers who have been praying for her. Cichelero said, “To you who prayed, my sincere thanks. Remember, prayers never return empty. The Lord is sovereign over all things. The Lord has called us for this time, for this cause, for this moment. We are writing history. … He is still the God who controls everything. He has not abandoned us!” US military strike kills 11 Venezuelan terrorists in boat with narcotics The United States conducted a military strike on Tuesday on a drug boat from Venezuela. On Truth Social, President Trump wrote, “The strike occurred while the terrorists were at sea in International waters transporting illegal narcotics, heading to the United States. The strike resulted in 11 terrorists killed in action.” Listen to comments from President Trump. TRUMP: “On the boat, you had massive amounts of drugs. We have tapes of them speaking. It was massive amounts of drugs coming into our country to kill a lot of people. Everybody fully understands that. In fact, you see it, you see the bags of drugs all over the boat. And they were hit obviously. They won't be doing it again. And I think a lot of other people won't be doing it again when they watch that tape. We have to protect our country, and we're going to.” President Trump said the terrorists belonged to Tren de Aragua. The Venezuelan gang is responsible for mass murder, drug trafficking, sex trafficking, and acts of violence.  Trump supports Christian pregnancy centers The Trump administration is supporting Christian pregnancy centers in New Jersey in a case before the U.S. Supreme Court. First Choice Women's Resource Centers is challenging New Jersey's unconstitutional investigation into its operations. Erin Hawley, Senior Counsel with Alliance Defending Freedom, said, “New Jersey's attorney general is targeting First Choice—a ministry that provides parenting classes, free ultrasounds, baby clothes, and more to its community—simply because of its pro-life views. The Constitution protects First Choice and its donors from demands by a hostile state official to disclose their identities.” 50% of Congress are people of Biblical principle The Christian Employers Alliance released their new report card on U.S. Congressional leaders. The index scores lawmakers on a 0-to-100 scale based on their alignment with Biblical principles. Republicans tended to score better than Democrats. Of the 535 members of Congress, half scored 50% or better. Margaret Luculano is the president of the Christian Employers Alliance. She told the Washington Examiner, “Our faith is the foundation of how we live and lead, and lawmakers need that same compass as they face complex policies. That's why we launched the Biblical Business Index — a first-of-its-kind tool bringing together theologians and policy experts to connect Scripture with today's legislation.” Wisdom says in Proverbs 8:15, “By me kings reign, and rulers decree justice.” Gen Z & Millennials attend church more often than older Americans And finally, the Barna Group released new research from its ongoing State of the Church initiative. The report found Christians from younger generations are attending church more frequently than before. They also attend more often than Christians from older generations.  Churchgoers from Gen Z attend 1.9 times per month, while Millennials attend 1.8 times per month. The average for U.S. churched adults is 1.6 per month. Also, Gen Z and Millennial churchgoers attend nearly twice as much as they did in 2020. Psalm 122:1 says, “I was glad when they said to me, ‘Let us go into the house of the LORD.'” Close And that's The Worldview on this Thursday, September 4th, in the year of our Lord 2025. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus (Adam@TheWorldview.com).

On this episode of Rightly Dividing, we begin our look at the epistle of the apostle Paul to the Romans, and settle in to learn some hardcore, strong meat Bible doctrine. A study in Romans will show us the New Testament doctrines of salvation, redemption, sanctification, justification, predestination, adoption, regeneration, and glorification. Remember the Ethiopian eunuch from our study in the Book of Acts? He got saved with salvation by grace through faith by reading in the book of Isaiah. Another salient point to keep in mind that Paul is the apostle to the Romans, and not Peter as the Roman Catholic church falsely claims he is. There is no biblical record that Peter was ever in Rome.TONIGHT'S STUDY: Chapter 6 in the book of Romans is all about the sanctification of the believer as they now seek to navigate this new Christian life they have been born again into. Paul is very clear about the necessity of battling sin on a daily basis, this is the ‘good fight' of the believer, one that never ends until the day we meet the Lord Jesus Christ face to face. Strong meat for sure.

Acts 8:26-3926 Now an angel of the Lord said to Philip, “Rise and go toward the south to the road that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza.” This is a desert place. 27 And he rose and went. And there was an Ethiopian, a eunuch, a court official of Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, who was in charge of all her treasure. He had come to Jerusalem to worship 28 and was returning, seated in his chariot, and he was reading the prophet Isaiah. 29 And the Spirit said to Philip, “Go over and join this chariot.” 30 So Philip ran to him and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet and asked, “Do you understand what you are reading?” 31 And he said, “How can I, unless someone guides me?” And he invited Philip to come up and sit with him. 32 Now the passage of the Scripture that he was reading was this:“Like a sheep he was led to the slaughter and like a lamb before its shearer is silent, so he opens not his mouth.33 In his humiliation justice was denied him. Who can describe his generation?For his life is taken away from the earth.”34 And the eunuch said to Philip, “About whom, I ask you, does the prophet say this, about himself or about someone else?” 35 Then Philip opened his mouth, and beginning with this Scripture he told him the good news about Jesus. 36 And as they were going along the road they came to some water, and the eunuch said, “See, here is water! What prevents me from being baptized?” 38 And he commanded the chariot to stop, and they both went down into the water, Philip and the eunuch, and he baptized him. 39 And when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord carried Philip away, and the eunuch saw him no more, and went on his way rejoicing.

The Book of Romans in your King James Bible is one of the most-powerful pieces of scripture in the New Testament, a book that is heavily built on the writings of the prophet Isaiah and applied to Christians in the Church Age. Reading Romans can be like a really good Fourth of July fireworks display, it can also hit you like an IED and run you right off the road. Where you wind up depends on how you start, and we highly recommend a rightly divided and dispensational approach to navigating it.“To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.” Romans 1:7 (KJB)On this episode of Rightly Dividing, we begin our look at the epistle of the apostle Paul to the Romans, and settle in to learn some hardcore, strong meat Bible doctrine.

Reader: Bek Hudson Preacher: Jonathan Smith Today Pastor Jonathan is teaching on Philip's encounter with the Ethiopian eunuch and how he witnesses to this man and teaches him who Jesus is. Philip was just an ordinary person in the church - he wasn't an apostle or one of the leaders, but God used him to present the gospel to this Ehthiopian official. Was this coincidence that these two men met, or was it a divine appointment, orchestrated by God? Jonathan presents that it was a divine appointment. Anytime when we are challenged to present the gospel to someone, God has already started the process for the person to hear, so we need to adopt the attitude that something extraordinary will happen when we obey God and be both obedient and expectant. After all, the entire Book of Acts is about ordinary people doing extraordinary things by the power of the Holy Spirit, and these things did not stop in the first century.

As we read Jesus' parable about the tenants in the vineyard today (Mark 17 v.1-9) and the treatment they meted out to any servants that came to them on behalf of the owner seeking his share of the fruit, our thoughts went quite naturally to what we had just read in Jeremiah who brought from God messages that did not please the leading men of his day.  All the counsellors of the king saw his words as undermining them, they did not accept his version as to the attitude of God towards them despite the fact that his warnings had so far proved true.They “treated him shamefully” putting him in the waterless cistern so that he sank in the mud at the bottom.  (ch. 38 v.4-6).   It is significant that it is a Gentile, an Ethiopian, that alerts the King to his plight and rescues him (v.7-13); this is parallel to some of the experiences of the apostle Paul..Returning to the parable of Jesus we can see its application not only to how the tenants killed Jesus the son of the owner, but to the treatment through the centuries of those who are faithful to the truths God has left on record in the scriptures. How many cling to their own distorted philosophies and, as Paul complained, “exchanged the truth about God for a lie” [Rom. 1 v.25]Our chapter today tells us how Jesus tackled the Sadducees over this.  They deny there is to be a resurrection. Jesus rebukes them saying you “are wrong, because you know neither the Scriptures nor the power of God” [v.24] He says that those “who rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven.” [v.25]  How vital that we “know … the Scriptures.”On another occasion Jesus said “there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when you see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of God but you yourselves cast out” [Luke 13 v.28] That it is a literal kingdom on earth is made plain in the next verse, “and people will come from east and west, and from north and south, and recline at table in the kingdom of God.”Together with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob will be such as Jeremiah and, most likely, “the scribe” who “answered wisely” – as we read in today's chapter – so that Jesus said to him, “You are not far from the Kingdom of God.” [v.34] We must each ask ourselves, ‘How far am I from the Kingdom of God?'

1 Kings 12 tells us of Rehoboam's folly following the death of Solomon. Rehoboam fails to heed the wise counsel of the elders and rather harkens to the ridiculous reasoning of his entitled peers. The outcome of this is the division of the kingdom, as prophesied by Ahijah. Jeroboam is termed in scripture "the man who caused Israel to sin". Jeroboam set up two golden calves - the one in the north at Dan; and the other in Beersheba in the south. Rehoboam sent his treasurer to collect the tribute from Israel. But they stoned the treasurer causing Rehoboam to flee in his chariot. Rehoboam then mustered his army but was dissuaded from fighting against his brethren by the prophet Shemaiah who tells the king that the division is from the LORD. To his credit Rehoboam responded to the Word of God and sent the army home. King Jeroboam from the northern branch of the divided kingdom next changes the timing of the feast of worship from the seventh to the eighth month. This idolatrous man made his priests from the lowest of the people. All of this was designed to maintain the division. Jeroboam was fearful that Israel might, if they went to the Feast in Jerusalem, be reconciled to Rehoboam. This 38th chapter of Jeremiah told of the malevolent treatment afforded the prophet at the hands of the treacherous princes casting him into the mire (mud) of the cistern. He was rescued by the kind and faithful Ethiopian, Ebed-melech. Our Sovereign recompensed the Ethiopian eunuch's kindness to Yahweh's prophet. After his deliverance Jeremiah presented his entreaties secretly to the king. Jeremiah again counsels the king to save Judah by surrendering to the Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar.Mark 12 begins with the parable of the tenants of the vineyard which spoke of Israel. The parable tells of the constant rejection of God's servants, the prophets; and the ultimate sin of Israel in rejecting the Son of the Father. The nation's wicked rulers saw themselves in Jesus' words and fulfilled the prophecy of our Lord in plotting Jesus' death. Christ's enemies make several attempts to undermine our Lord's authority. The chapter shows that each prominent party posed hypothetical questions. The first was from an alliance of the Herodians, who were pragmatists who were prepared to cooperate with Rome, and the arch enemies of the Herodians - the Pharisees. The question from this unholy alliance was on taxation. The master not only answers majestically, but he directs their minds to God's claims on them. We are next told of the Sadducees posing their question on resurrection. This sect were the priestly class. They were wealthy and used their power to accumulate wealth. The Sadducees did not accept the teaching of the resurrection; nor any of the Scriptures apart from the 5 Books of Moses. These hypocrites were likewise confounded by incontestable proof from Exodus 3 - one of the five writings that were accepted by them - of the raising of the dead. The Scribes with the Pharisees pose a problem to our Lord as to which commandment was the greatest. Jesus answers by showing that the entire message of the Law and the Prophets hung equally on the love of God and the love one's neighbour. Christ then turns the tables on his foes through a simple question in two parts;- 1) whose son is the Messiah (easy they thought - David's of course); and, part 2) how then in Psalm 110 is the Christ spoken of as David's Lord? The inescapable answer was that the Christ, Messiah, was greater because he was the Son of God as well as son of David. The chapter concludes with a denunciation of the Scribes and an object lesson from the widow, who gave all. https://christadelphianvideo.org/christadelphian-daily-readings/

“For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.” (2 Corinthians 10:3–5 NIV) The sword of the Spirit that the apostle Paul talks about in Ephesians 6 is not only for deflecting a blow from the enemy; it’s also for inflicting one. This is something the devil doesn’t want you to know. He doesn’t want you to start attacking, because if you’re always defending, then he’s in the superior position. But if you’re attacking, then you’re in the superior position. If you have a hard time picturing your Bible as a weapon, look at Paul’s words in 2 Corinthians 10:3–5 above. As believers, our battles are spiritual. Standard military weaponry and tactics don’t apply. The battles take place in our hearts and minds. They’re played out in our thoughts, philosophies, priorities, and beliefs. And because the Bible is God’s truth—the ultimate and most powerful source of truth—nothing else can match its impact. It has the power to demolish the excuses, philosophies, reasoning, and arguments that cause people to oppose and reject the Christian faith. As spiritual warriors for Christ, we must confront the lies of this world with the truth of God’s Word. That’s how we wield the sword of the Spirit. We also use it to set the devil’s spiritual captives free. We do that by sharing the gospel with unbelievers using the words of Scripture. In Acts 8, we see this scenario play out in the life of Philip, an early Christian evangelist. Philip ministered in the city of Samaria, where he “told the people there about the Messiah” (verse 5 NLT). As a result, “people believed Philip’s message of Good News concerning the Kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ” (verse 12 NLT). What looks like evangelism to us is actually spiritual battle. Philip used the Good News to attack the devil’s stronghold in Samaria. In verse 26, an angel of the Lord gave Philip marching orders: “Go south” (NLT). Like a good soldier, Philip obeyed. He found an Ethiopian official who was trying to understand a Bible passage. Philip used the sword of the Spirit, the Word of God, to help the man understand the truth about Jesus. Armed only with the words of Scripture, he took the battle to the devil. Make no mistake about it: There is authority and power in the Word of God. My words will fall to the ground, but God’s Word sticks. God’s Word breaks through. We could spend all day trying to defend and explain the Bible, but I have a better idea: Use the sword of the Spirit. That’s what Philip did, and that’s what we need to do as well. Reflection question: In your circle of acquaintances, what are some faulty philosophies, reasoning, and arguments that need to be confronted with the truth of God’s Word?

On this episode of Rightly Dividing, we begin our look at the epistle of the apostle Paul to the Romans, and settle in to learn some hardcore, strong meat Bible doctrine. A study in Romans will show us the New Testament doctrines of salvation, redemption, sanctification, justification, predestination, adoption, regeneration, and glorification. Remember the Ethiopian eunuch from our study in the Book of Acts? He got saved with salvation by grace through faith by reading in the book of Isaiah. Another salient point to keep in mind that Paul is the apostle to the Romans, and not Peter as the Roman Catholic church falsely claims he is. There is no biblical record that Peter was ever in Rome.TONIGHT'S STUDY: In the second half of Romans 1, Paul gives a blistering rebuke of just about everything so accepted in our day by lukewarm Laodicean Christians. In chapter 2, we see a special emphasis on judging, judgment and the Judgment of God who as Paul will say later, is “no respecter of persons”. Paul ‘lets it fly' on the Jew and the Gentile with equal fervor. This is Part #2 in a Series.

The Book of Romans in your King James Bible is one of the most-powerful pieces of scripture in the New Testament, a book that is heavily built on the writings of the prophet Isaiah and applied to Christians in the Church Age. Reading Romans can be like a really good Fourth of July fireworks display, it can also hit you like an IED and run you right off the road. Where you wind up depends on how you start, and we highly recommend a rightly divided and dispensational approach to navigating it.“To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.” Romans 1:7 (KJB)On this episode of Rightly Dividing, we begin our look at the epistle of the apostle Paul to the Romans, and settle in to learn some hardcore, strong meat Bible doctrine.

Paul is taking no prisoners as he lays out the doctrine, so Catholic, Charismatics, Campbellites and Calvinists be forewarned, you're not going to like it much. But if you're a Bible believer, jump on in, the water's fine!

A profound exploration of two contrasting figures from Acts 8 – Simon the Sorcerer who sought power without surrender, and Philip the Evangelist who demonstrated true spiritual authority through complete obedience to God.• The book of Acts has no ending because the Holy Spirit is still working through surrendered believers today• Simon the Sorcerer represents more than history – he embodies a prophetic warning about pursuing spiritual power for selfish gain• "Simony" became a term in church history for purchasing spiritual authority, which continues in modern forms• Philip demonstrates a life fully surrendered to God's direction, leaving a vibrant revival to minister to one Ethiopian eunuch• True spiritual authority comes through dying to self rather than promoting self• The early church wasn't built on strategic plans but on people possessed by the Holy Spirit• We often pursue God's hand (what He can do for us) while missing His face (who He is)• Christianity without the cross misses the transformative power of being crucified with Christ• Living Galatians 2:20 means recognizing "It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me"• The ultimate question: Do we want Simon's show or Philip's surrender?If you're ready to move from ambition to surrender, from seeking power to being possessed by God's Spirit, make that decision today. Come to Jesus not just for what He can do for you, but surrender completely to what He wants to do through you.
