We’ve all heard the expression, “So and so is his/her own worst enemy.” It is commonly used to express the fact that a person’s own attitude or action is working against him/her. By what he is thinking, or by what he is doing, he is actually hindering his ability to make any progress in someContinue reading “Those That Oppose Themselves”

                                   THE MINISTRY OF RECONCILIATION      1. For the last 8 weeks we have been examining “Israel’s Great Commission” recorded in (#1) Matt. 28; (#2) Mark 16; (#3) Luke 24; (#4) John 20; & (#5)  Acts 1 (chapters). We who “rightly divide the word of truth” understand that there are five (5) parts to ONEContinue reading ““OUR COMMISSION” – # 8 -b 1/22/23”

Our dear apostle wrote in 2 Corinthians 4:3-7: “But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost. In whom the God of this world (Satan) has blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, shouldContinue reading “Israel’s Great Commission and Ours – # 8 -a 1/22/23”

We are examining the five critical issues concerning The Great Commission. By examining them, this is how we know not to confuse The Great Commission, which is Israel’s program, with The Dispensation of Gentile Grace, which is the CBOC program, now in effect today.  When we use the key, 2nd Timothy 2:15; “rightly dividing theContinue reading ”   Israel’s Great Commission and Ours – # 7 1/15/23″

INTRO: Today, we are examining the third (# 3), of five critical issues contained in the Great Commission. The third critical issue is: “recognizing that the Great Commission was designed to be “a blessing to the Gentiles” as a result of their positive attitude & response to the gospel of the kingdom. And the apostlesContinue reading ” Israel’s Great Commission and Ours – # 6 1-8-23″

(1). Today, in lesson # 5, we begin examining the Second of 5 Critical Issues involving the “Great Commission.” What is the “Time Frame” in which The Great Commission is to take place? (Matt. 28; Mark 16; Luke 24; John 20; & Acts 1). The “Time Frame” is in the “Day of the Lord’s Wrath,”Continue reading ” Israel’s Great Commission and Ours – # 5 12-18-22″

(1). The 12 apostles knew that the gospel that they were to preach, was the gospel (good news) of the Kingdom, to Israel only! What the 12 did not know about was the “revelation of the mystery of Christ,” or the “dispensation of Gentile grace.” This was still a mystery, a secret, kept hid inContinue reading “Israel’s Great Commission and Ours –  # 4 12-4-22”

The purpose of this 10-lesson series on The Great Commission, is that we know & can explain that The Great Commission that is recorded in Matthew 28, Mark 16, Luke 24, John 20, and Acts 1, was given exclusively to the nation of Israel, & NOT the Church, Body of Christ. We know that theContinue reading “Israel’s Great Commission and Ours  # 3 11/20/22”

We ended last week’s lesson dealing with the fact that the masses of Christians today “stumble” over “The Great Commission” that Jesus gave to the 12 during His earthly ministry. Most think “The Great Commission” is our marching orders today. But why? Because they do not utilize God’s instructions of studying the Bible that HeContinue reading ” Israel’s Great Commission And Ours – # 2 11/13/22″

The purpose of this lesson is for you and I to understand and appreciate, that the commonly called “Great Commission” recorded in the gospel accounts of Matthew 28, Mark 16, Luke 24, John 20, and Acts 1, are really Israel’s “Great commission” & not ours”. But first, what is a Commission? A Commission is aContinue reading “Israel’s Great Commission and Ours #1 11/6/22”
