The Inscription Pilate Put on the Cross (V19-22) The Distribution of Jesus' Garments (V23-24)

The sermon explores how believers can discern God's will by examining specific biblical mandates rather than seeking mysterious signs for daily decisions. It establishes that the primary prerequisite is salvation, followed by a call to live a godly, pure, and Spirit-filled life. The preacher emphasizes that understanding God's moral will provides the framework for making wise choices in personal matters like career and relationships. By conforming one's desires to Scripture through the renewal of the mind, individuals align their lives with God's perfect purpose. Ultimately, the message urges immediate surrender to Christ as the foundational step to knowing and doing His will.

Through the cross, Jesus has inaugurated the New Covenant. The Lord's Supper is a sign of the New Covenant, and only those who have entered into the New Covenant are to participate in this sign. As we partake of the Lord's Supper, we remember the great benefits we have as members of the New Covenant. We have new hearts, a personal relationship with the Lord, and the full forgiveness of sin.

The sermon interprets Revelation 13 and Genesis 6 to warn against the biblical prohibition of hybridization between humans and other beings, linking ancient giants to modern genetic experimentation. It argues that contemporary advancements in DNA manipulation and alleged alien-human programs fulfill prophetic patterns of corruption similar to those preceding the Flood. The preacher connects these themes to the curse in Genesis 3 and the spiritual warfare described in Revelation, urging listeners to recognize the end-times significance of such activities. By examining passages like Daniel 2 and various Levitical laws, the message emphasizes the literal reality of spiritual and physical defilement. The central call is for vigilance and faith as these signs point toward the imminent return of Christ.

Part 4 of a series about worship.

This Bible study examines the early church's growth through signs and wonders, highlighting the divine authentication of the apostles' message. It contrasts the genuine generosity of believers with the hypocrisy of Ananias and Sapphira, establishing a context of awe and reverence within the community. The narrative shifts to the religious leaders' jealousy and their failed attempt to silence the apostles through imprisonment. A supernatural angelic intervention allows the apostles to continue preaching in the temple, leading to their confrontation with the Sanhedrin. The central theme emerges as the apostles declare their obedience to God over human authority, affirming Jesus as Prince and Savior who grants repentance and forgiveness.
