ScriptureStream episodes

  • Luke, Part 24
    • Luke 22:61-23:34
    • Luke 22:61-62 – This is a good example of how we should react when we sin.
    • Luke 23:2 – These charges are all false. In their eyes, He was misleading the nation, but He was leading the nation correctly in God’s eyes. Jesus specifically told people they were to pay taxes (Luke 20:22-25). Jesus was a spiritual leader, not an earthly king. He often reminded His disciples of this.
    • Luke 23:22 – Three times Pilate declared Jesus to be innocent.
    • Luke 23:28-31 – Jesus prophecies about the coming destruction of Jerusalem. He is quoting from Hosea 10:8.
    • Luke 23:34 – Jesus shows His great depth of love in asking for forgiveness for those who were crucifying Him. See II Peter 3:9.
    • Luke 23:33 – The Greek was Kranion, Amaramaic: Golgotha, Latin: Calvarius.

    • A Study on Elders, Part 1
      • Titus 1:5; Acts 14:23 – Churches did exist without elders and they had the same functions as those that did. However, churches in general function better with qualified elders.
      • Three things are necessary for a local church to appoint elders:
        • Men who meet the standard set by God
        • Men who are willing to take on the role and responsibilities
        • Men who are acceptable to the congregation
        • Some qualifications for elders are absolute and some are not.
        • There are several different words for the same role: Acts 20:17, 28; Titus 1:7; I Peter 5:2
          • Elders
          • Bishops
          • Shepherds (Ezekiel 34:1-10)
          • Overseers
          • Elders are limited in their function to the congregation over which they have been appointed.

          • Holy Spirit Made Overseers
            • Acts 14:23; Titus 1:5
            • Acts 20:28
            • Men that desire the work
            • Men that meet the qualifications to a high degree
              • I Timothy 3:1-7; Titus 1:5-9; I Peter 5:2
              • Elder, bishop, overseer, shepherd
              • Men that understand their assigned work
              • Men that do their assigned work
                • Teaching the flock – elders don’t have to do all the teaching, but they do oversee the teaching.
                • Men that understand the “rule” of elders
                  • Hebrews 13:17; Matthew 20:25-28
                  • Men that lead the flock
                  • Mean that are examples worthy to be imitated

                  • Galatians, Part 11
                    • Galatians 6:1-18
                    • Galatians 6:10 – Note that the context here does not include benevolence. The context concerns helping those who are caught in a trespass. We are to help all that we encounter that are struggling with sin, but especially fellow Christians.
                    • Galatians 6:11 – Some try to argue that Paul had large handwriting, indicating poor eyesight, but there is not much support for this. The Greek word translated “letter(s)” here means document, letter, or written law, which seems to indicate that Paul was referring to his volume of writing.

                    • Matthew, a Great Example
                      • Matthew 9:9-10 – Jesus calls Matthew.
                      • Matthew was a better man than his surroundings would indicate.
                      • Matthew was a busy man.
                      • Matthew was willing to pay the price. Luke 9:23
                      • Matthew was a modest man.
                      • Matthew was interested in the souls of others.
                      • This man Matthew sets before us five noble traits. In this, he is an example for us.

                          • Luke 22:3 – See John 13:2. Satan did not take control of Judas. The influence of Satan entered Judas’ heart and Judas himself made the decision. See also James 4:7-8.

                            • See Exodus 24:3-8; Hebrews 9:11-10:4; John 13:3-16. Jesus uses metaphors to compare the unleavened bread to His body and the fruit of the vine to His blood, indicating that the Supper is a memorial to His death.
                            • Luke 22:24-27 – Jesus was the greatest, yet served all, even Judas Iscariot.
                            • Luke 22:28-30 – The apostles would judge the twelve tribes of Israel by the word that they would preach.
