PSA253 The Disposition of Christ mp3 In this message we consider the book of Philippians, written after the dispensational change that took place at Acts 28:28. Philippians 1:6 speaks of the work begun among the Philippians that was “completed.” In Philippians 3:2-11, Paul counted many things as loss, but those same things he counted as […]

PA340 II Corinthians 1:1-12 mp3 In this message, we begin our study of the second letter of Paul to the Corinthians. This book is extremely different from I Corinthians. It was written in the Acts period. It is all about parakaleo or encouragement due to hardships the Corinthians were now going through. Written by Paul […]

PSA252 What Is the Dispensation of Grace? mp3 In this message, we consider the dispensation of grace. What is a dispensation? What does it mean that this is the dispensation of the grace of God? What is grace? How does it interact with justice, with covenants, with the promises, with faith, and with prayer? In […]

PA339 I Corinthians 16:1-24 mp3 In this message, Paul speaks of a collection for the saints, which we should not confuse with the many collections taken FROM the saints by many religious organizations today. Paul wants them to collect it on one of the Sabbaths…what does this mean? This collection was to be sent to […]

PA338 I Corinthians 15:45-58 mp3 In this message, we consider the first Adam and the last Adam. Who are these? We now have a body that bears the stamp of the super-earthly, but in resurrection we will have a body that bears the stamp of the super-heavenly. This answers the Platonists who thought a resurrection […]

PA337 I Corinthians 15:29-44 mp3 In this message, Paul discusses those who are being baptized for the dead, an idea that seems very mysterious to many. What is he really talking about? If the dead do not rise, then we might as well live for pleasures. Paul warns that the evil idea that the dead […]

PA336 I Corinthians 15:23-28 mp3 In this message, we consider that there are companies of resurrections, not just one, single future resurrection. Moreover, not every resurrection that takes place has to be over in a moment of time. We consider the three future companies of resurrection set forth in I Corinthians 15:23-24. Christ must reign […]

PA335 I Corinthians 15:12-22 mp3 In this message, we consider what error exactly Paul is arguing against. If the error was the idea that there is no resurrection at all, then how could any of the Corinthian believers hold that error, since they must have believed that Jesus Christ rose from the dead? But if […]

PA334 I Corinthians 15:1-11 mp3 In this message, we begin our consideration of I Corinthians 15, Paul’s great chapter on resurrection. He starts out considering the gospel he proclaimed to the Corinthians and in which they stand: that Christ died for our sins, was buried, and rose from the dead. He gives a list of […]

PA333 I Corinthians 14:20-40 mp3 In this message, Paul urges the Corinthians not to be children in understanding, but in malice to be babes. Tongues are for a sign to unbelievers, whereas prophesying is for those who believe God’s words. If all speak with tongues at once, though, an unbeliever coming in will think them […]
