This Sunday School lesson concludes the study of Galatians by analyzing verse 18 to highlight three key observations regarding Christian identity and biblical authority. It defines true brethren not by mere association but by genuine faith in Christ, emphasizing that God's grace is essential for spiritual restoration and resistance against sin. The lesson also addresses textual errors found in some King James Bibles, such as inaccurate subscripts, distinguishing them from the inerrant words of God. This distinction reinforces the necessity of holding Scripture alone as the sole authority for faith and practice. Ultimately, the lesson urges believers to prioritize God's revealed words in the Bible, while rejecting any other words that contradict biblical truth.

The sermon examines artificial intelligence through a theological lens, distinguishing between human identity created in God's image and AI's mere linguistic processing. It argues that while AI exhibits emergent intelligence, it lacks a soul, self, or genuine understanding, often resulting in hallucinations and suggestibility. The speaker identifies three primary dangers: dependence on tools that dull critical thinking, delusion from anthropomorphizing machines, and domination through the illusion of inevitable technological power. Drawing on Mark 13, the message urges believers to prioritize the health of their souls and spiritual responsibilities over societal disruptions. Ultimately, Christians are called to use AI wisely for tasks like translation while remaining grounded in their distinct, God-given identity.

Enoch walked with God to the degree that God walked him on home to heaven! Believers who walk with God closely not only have a great relationship and joy with God, but their transition home is seamless!

00:48 How can we freely choose Christ if God is sovereign and has predestined those who will be saved? 08:04 How often should we take communion and can we do it in our home? 12:55 What does Matthew 11:12 mean about the "violent take it by force"? 17:16 Do babies that die and go to heaven stay as babies for eternity? 20:09 Are the people who get saved in the Tribulation part of the New Testament or universal church? 24:04 Why was the angels response to Mary and Zechariah different regarding their disbelief about the Messiah being born? 26:07 In Psalm 9:17 what does it mean "the wicked will return to Sheol"? 28:16 What is the biblical mode of baptism, immersion or sprinkling? 31:37 What is the difference between self-love and self-promotion? 36:54 Why do you use the English Standard Version? 44:04 Will the unrighteous in the final judgment be annihilated or eternally punished? 49:57 Why does God bless Job with even more than he had before? 54:55 Do you have resources in foreign languages? 57:39 How correct does one's theology need to be for salvation?

We explore the first two verses of 2 Peter where Peter speaks of believers as having "a faith of equal standing with ours." Peter uses a word translated "obtained" which implies 'by lot' in the sense of an inheritance. We explore other words in the New Testament which are used to describe the inheritance of Christians. Those who know Christ are heirs of Christ (Ephesians 3:6). We explain the implications of this in regard to being adopted sons and daughters of the King. Much psychological teaching which is popular in churches today is rather deterministic based on "family of origin" issues as it is often described. The apostles saw our standing to be based on having been adopted into the family of God and having an inheritance due to being in Christ rather than in Adam. We have this status based on God's promises, not what worldly status we may have inherited, be it desirable or undesirable. Our inheritance is eternal. We also talk about grace and peace which is "multiplied" to us according to Peter's salutation. Peace with God is not merely the presence of tranquility of mind, but in key passages such as Romans 5:1 describes it as reconciled enemies. All who are in Adam are born as enemies of Christ. Those who repent and turn to Christ become adopted children of God. The grace which God gives is effectual grace which brings change in our lives.

This podcast explores the Westminster Confession of Faith's teaching on the supreme authority of Scripture, emphasizing that the Bible is the final standard for all religious controversies. The speaker highlights the necessity of translating the Word into common languages so believers can worship God acceptably and find hope through its comfort. It stresses the principle of sola scriptura, clarifying that while other authorities exist, they remain subordinate to the inerrant Word of God. The speaker encourages comparing difficult passages with clearer ones and consulting historical commentaries as helpful guides rather than infallible sources. Ultimately, the Holy Spirit speaking in Scripture serves as the supreme judge for all doctrines and traditions.

While the Greek word pistis can mean 'faith‟ or „trust‟, it can also mean „trust-worthiness‟, „faithfulness‟, „fidelity‟, „loyalty‟. In addition, it can also speak of what is believed – that is, „the faith‟, „the gospel‟. Let me deal that last point. It doesn‟t play a large part in what I want to highlight in this chapter, but it is, of course, of huge significance in coming to a proper understanding of Paul‟s doctrine in such places as Galatians 3:22-26. Note his use of pistis to speak of both the sinner‟s faith or trust, and „the faith‟, „the gospel‟: The Scripture imprisoned everything under sin, so that the promise by faith [pisteōs] [that is, to the believing sinner] in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe [pisteuousin]. Now before [the] [„the‟ should have been translated – DG] faith [pistin] [that is, the gospel] came, we were held captive under the law, imprisoned until the [rightly translated this time – DG] coming faith [pistin] [that is, the gospel] would be revealed. So then, the law was our guardian until Christ came, in order that we might be justified by faith [pisteōs]. But now that [the] [as above, „the‟ should have been translated – DG] faith [pisteōs] [that is, the gospel] has come, we are no longer under a guardian, for in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God, through faith [pisteōs] [that is, by believing] (Gal. 3:22-26).1
