Welcome once again to this special presentation with our guest speaker, Professor David Needham. He will be continuing our study in Isaiah 6:4.

Previously we heard about Isaiah as to what he heard and what he saw in verses 1 thru 3.

In this lesson we will hear about what Isaiah was feeling and what he was smelling.

It is at this point Isaiah realizes his own personal sin and the sin of the people among whom he lived.

It is here that Professor Needham points our hearts to the overwhelming forgiveness of sin available and found in the shed blood of our Lord Jesus Christ at the cross.

Let's turn in our Bible to Isaiah chapter 6:4 here on the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast.

Welcome to the Unchanging Word Bible broadcast.

For the next few days, the Unchanging Word has as Our guest speaker, Professor David Needham was a co-worker with Dr. Mitchell at the Bible school in which they taught which was founded by Dr. John G. Mitchell.

Mr. Needham was a longtime professor of Bible with an emphasis on Old Testament prophets. Yours truly had the opportunity to attend, along with several other students, various of his classes. They were engaging and inspirational and instructive.

On this program, Professor Needham will be exploring Isaiah chapter 6 verses 1-3. We will look at who Isaiah saw and what he heard.

So open your Bible to Isaiah chapter 6 verse 1 to begin our study with Professor Needham.

Our last study in the book of Colossians begins in chapter 4 verse 7. Dr. Mitchell will be covering the last 12 verses of this chapter giving comments concerning 9 men working along side the apostle Paul in prison in Rome.

Two of the men with Paul were members of this Colossian church. Onesimus was a slave of a friend of Paul's, who name was Philemon, and the other, Epaphras, a prayer warrior for this church.

Dr. Mitchell notes that the apostle Paul had something good to say about all these men, except for one. He explains why.

Here, on the Unchanging Word Bible broadcast, is Dr. Mitchell Col.4:7.

Dr. Mitchell once again reiterates the need for

continuing in prayer for the ministry. We are in Colossians chapter 4 verses 3 thru 6. He gives us an example of a military chaplain in Korea, who had a burden for prisoners of war. He presents proof of God's answer to prayer in a big way. A miracle of grace.

In verse 12, Dr. Mitchell shares the example of Epaphras who also was a prayer warrior.

He next takes up the importance of walking in wisdom towards those who do not know yet know Christ as savior. He speaks of our conduct in the world. We can witness for Christ as opportunities present themselves.

The love of God should be on our lips as we speak with people about our savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.

Here is Dr. Mitchell on the Unchanging Word Bible broadcast, Colossians 4:3.

We are in Colossians chapter 4 beginning at verse 2 where the Apostle Paul encourages believers to continue in prayer.

Dr. Mitchell gives us in depth teaching on prayer. It concerns praying for those who give out the Word of God. This is very much needed in these days in which we live.

Could I ask you to pray for your radio station and the podcast hosts on which you hear the Unchanging Word Bible broadcast?

Christians radio stations especially need your prayer as those who broadcast the Bible and Bible teaching to men, women and children everywhere.

There is often behind the scenes influences, both legal and professional, which affect the Christian broadcaster and podcaster.

Would you please pray and support the station or stations which broadcast the Word of God in your area?

Here is Dr. Mitchell with Col.4:2-4 on the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast.

Our study with Dr. Mitchell continues in Colossians chapter 3 verses 22 thru chapter 4 verse 2.

He will be covering business relationships, Christian servants and masters as when Paul wrote these verses, and today translates to employees and employers within a business environment.

He will conclude with Paul's exhortation to continue steadfastly in prayer being watchful in it with thanksgiving.

Do you work with a christian employer or employee?

The verses here in Col.3:22 are also echoed in Ephesians chapter 6 by the apostle Paul.

He wrote these two letters together while in prison in Rome. He also wrote similar words in 1 Timothy chapter 6 verses 1 and 2 specifically to christian employees.

You'll note that both the Lord Jesus and the apostle Paul worked with their hands in gainful employment as did Dr. Mitchell as a new Christian.

Here is Dr. Mitchell, Col. 3:22 on the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast.

Dr. Mitchell words are still apropos for the cultural and societal conditions of our day.

Speaking from Colossians 3 verses 18 thru 21, these verses deal with family and business relationships.

For family, these verses cover

the wife's relationship to her husband,

the husband's relationship to his wife,

the children's relationship to their parents,

and the father's relationship to his children.

In business, the word of God speaks to the relationship of the slave to his master and the master's relationship to his slave and the both of them in relationship to the Lord who is master of both.

Here is Dr. Mitchell, Col.3:18 on the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast.

Our study in Colossians continues in chapter 3 verses 15 and 16.

Dr. Mitchell always valued the prayers of listeners to his Bible broadcast. We too here at the Unchanging Word value and cherish your prayers and intercessions before the throne of grace on our behalf. We too pray for those who listen and are blessed by this ministry of God's Unchanging Word.

We are an entirely volunteer ministry of production personnel. We do seek the Lord for our needs and He graciously supplies through His people who listen to the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast.

Thank you for your invaluable prayer support.

Dr. Mitchell will be camping on verses 15 and 16 for this lesson. He will speak on letting the Word of Christ dwell in us richly and worshiping in song.

Here is Dr. Mitchell, Col. 3:15, on the Unchanging Word Bible podcast.

Our study in Colossians chapter 3 resumes with Dr. Mitchell reviewing some of the previous verses we have already covered. He will be covering verses 5 through 13 and the differences between the old and new life in Christ.

There are some 8 exhortations for the believer in verses 5 thru 16.

Dr. Mitchell will then conclude this lesson with verse 16 to Let the word of Christ dwell in us richly. He then makes a comparison with Ephesians chapter 5 verse 18, where we were exhorted to be filled with the Holy Spirit. A parallel is drawn between the two verses where the same results are seen for both verses.

The Lord wants the word of God to dwell in us.

Jesus said, "Heaven and earth will pass away,

but My words will not pass away". Luke 21:33.

Here is Dr. Mitchell, Col.3:15-16.

Matthew 25:31 states our Lord is revealed as judging the nations of the earth separating the sheep from the goats. Dr. Mitchell shows what the basis for this judgment is.

Note that the Lord judges from His glorious throne on earth after His return to earth following the great tribulation.

Dr. Mitchell in Joel 3 declares the geographical location where God will judge the nations.

He states that the attitude of any nation towards Israel will determine how they are judged by the Lord.

Antisemitism will not tolerated by Christ as He is the King of Israel and the King of the nations at that time.

Dr. Mitchell asks “Have you opened your heart to the revelation of God in Christ”?

I may add, this revelation is only found in the Bible!

Let’s join Dr. Mitchell here in Matthew 25:31, on the⁠ Unchanging Word Bible⁠ Broadcast,.
