1 John 16-17

Grace and truth came through Jesus - there was grace before

Being saved in the Old Testament - looking forward to what will happen

Sanctified - set aside for God’s use

Evaluate everything by the scripture

Who is your teacher? The Holy Spirit!

James 2:22

Distinction between Israel and the Church

Matthew 10:5-23: Jesus sending out the 12 Apostles

Matthew was written to the Jews - reveals their future

“I’ve only come for the lost sheep of Israel” - if His people get it, it will spread

Personal belief in Christ will save you in any dispensation

3 entities

The end of the Kingdom announcement - only supposed to go to the Jews

Difference between two parts of the of the chapter (between verse 15 and 16) - There is a gap - Parenthetical time (Acts 2)

Ephesians 3:1-7

Jesus did not teach church teacher - he taught some principles that would work in any dispensation

First part - do not get to Gentiles, Second part - go to the Gentiles - shows that it is different times

Revelation 1 - Synagogue of Satan - Apposing Christ

God always planned to use the Jewish Nation to save the world - Scripture, Son of God and Influence

Spiritual, physical, negative experiential death, and positive experiential death

Genesis 2:16, Genesis 5:5, 1 Corinthians 15:21-22- Spiritual Death

2 Peter 1:9, Revelation 3:3 - negative experiential death

Romans 8:13, Philippians 2:7-11 - positive experiential death

Luke 4:16

Isaiah 53:9

7 Churches that Christ addresses

Come back into right thinking about what Christ has done - as individuals and the church

Revelation 1:10 - John’s report in exile (ESV and KJV)

The Lord’s Day - Sunday - To be in the spirit - SONday

Work of the Holy Spirit - to magnify and manifest

God wants us to know it all - look who are teacher is!

Know the future - the vindication of Jesus

#1 things that blocks us is us - we need to aim to get better

Some translations are paraphrased - gives us a new perspective

Hebrews 10:14

Sanctified - set aside for God’s use

Sampson - he was empowered by the spirit right after he made a mistake - Sampson’s sin did not diminish God’s power working through him - personifies much of the book of Judges

How come God can use a man like Sampson? - goes against everything we have been taught

Not endorsing a sin life - you cannot get away with sin

Sampson was sanctified forever by one offering from Jesus and undying faith that he belonged to God

Spirit of God can work through anyone who believes

Jesus did Kingdom teaching during the gospel period - speaking to Israel/not church teaching

Matthew 5:17

Those who are not my people will become my people - talking about the Gentiles not the church

"Christ fulfills the law" - No, the law will still be used in the lives of the saved Jews

Jeremiah 31 - New covenant - Not going to teach each other to be saved because everyone is already saved - not teaching salvation

Zechariah 8:23 - Need to know how you live in this Kingdom period

Matthew 5:13 - Gospel of the Kingdom - addressed to the Jews

Salt of the earth - Salt is meant to preserve - but if it looses its flavor there is no seasoning - keep up with your time with the Lord

Nothing brings people in like love - Love the Savior first

Jeremiah 31:23

The distinction between the church and Israel

3 earthly entities - 1: Israel 2: The Church 3: Gentile Nations

The word of God is God's word - He is true to His word

Just because we thump the bible, doesn't mean we can trump the bible.

Comparison of Old and New Scripture - Just because it old or accept does not mean that it is correct

Certainty and Passion does not equal truth - we can maintain a spiritual high all the time

Peter vs. Paul - Peter did not know about the Church at first

Paul was chosen to go to the Gentile people and teach the Gospel - "Christ did not send me to baptize"

The Great Commission - teach them what I taught you

Matthew 5 - beatitudes

Dispensationalism Denied Leads to Disillusionment and Defeat (The need to be a Dispensationalist):

To truly understand the word of God - need Dispensationalism

Difference between the Church and Israel 

Anything that we know is true comes from Jesus through other people - For example: Paul

1 Corinthians 1:10 - "perfectly joined together in the same mind and the same judgement" - Similar to the Tower of Babel: getting along fine when they all spoke the same language - When you don't speak the same language there is division - The Church is speaking different languages and we need to come together through Dispensationalism

1 Corinthians 2:6-16 - There are great things ahead but God has revealed deeper things beyond salvation through the spirit 

Many differences in Churches today - this is bad compared to what it should be - need the organization of Paul

2 Timothy 1:11 - "And of this gospel I was appointed a herald and an apostle and a teacher."

Parachurch (a ministry that operates outside of the confines of a traditional church) - Are they doing it the way that God laid out through the apostle Paul?

The purpose of this podcast is to emphasize the teachings of Paul in regards to the church. Enjoy!

An introduction to dispensationalism and why it is important for christians to understand.
