Why do we praise God? - Exodus 15:1-21 Sermon
After God gave the Israelites victory over the Egyptians, they praised God with the Song of Moses. This song helps us to understand why we should praise God: we, too, can join in the song of Moses.

New life in Jesus - What is Christianity? (7)
zhlédnutí 80Před 4 hodinami
Jesus died not simply to forgive our sins, but to give us new life. To become a Christian means to be "in Christ" - which means that we share in Jesus' death and resurrection. It means that we can live a totally different kind of life. 📘 GET THE BOOK Confused by Grace - how the Christian life really works.

The army that didn't fight - Exodus 13:17-14:31 Sermon

"Did you hear the one about the army that didn't fight?" It sounds like a joke, but it is actually a good description of this passage. In the first battle the Israelites faced together, God was teaching them something very important about what it meant to be the people of God. We as the church need to learn the same lessons. 📘GET THE BOOK Confused by Grace - how the Christian life really works....

The Biblical scholar Alec Motyer observed that evil is like a boomerang: the evil that we do comes back to us.

    I don't think that any other system of slavery was like that which existed in the Caribbean and on the American continent during the 16th to 19th centuries. Chattel slavery was completely different to the serf-like systems that existed prior to the Atlantic Slave Trade. One only have to read the Slave Codes of the Barbados Parliament of 1661. Slavery for enslaved Afrikans was more than the dictionary definition given in this video and the premise that we are all born slaves is absolute nonsense. A theological argument that seems to be used here to excuse the horrible experience of my Afrikan ancestors at the hands of evil European Slave holders who professed Christianity and used the bible to support both the system of slavery and the alleged inferiority of dark skin people.

    Hi there. I am a new subscriber. I always thought that faith was just another word for belief. Belief in Jesus Christ and His sacfrice on the Cross and His buriel and ressurection on the third day. Also to believe that God is real and the Bible are the very words God spoke to the entire world? Am I wrong in thinking this way? Thanks so much

      Hi Lola, no you're not wrong! The point I was trying to make is that faith must lead to action. The Israelites didn't just say they believed - they acted on it. I didn't mention it but what I was saying is much like James 2:14-26 about the difference between faith and deeds!

    This prophecy seems very relevant at this present time, -that being 7 months into the Israel/Hamas war. After Oct 7th, Philistia being the modern-day Gaza strip, is coming under God's judgement. He shows us why. Israel's enemies were found rejoicing at Israel's terrible suffering that day (v 28), but are now howling and crying out and melting in fear (v 31). A cloud of smoke comes from the north. Literally, the IDF came from the north of Gaza and smoke from bombs is everywhere (v 31). What answer will be given for this? "That the Lord has founded Zion, where His afflicted people will find refuge" (v 32). Understanding the Bible is the only channel I could find on CZcams citing these verses. Thanks brother for opening up the opportunity for any of us to share something that the Lord has put on our heart.

    I have heard it said the the genealogies attest to the reality and authenticity and truth of the Bible. They offer that actual people, all these traceable people did indeed exist, have real lives and carried out the purposes of God in the Bible. If men wrote the Bible (and not by inspiration of the Holy Spirit) they would never have bothered with the genealogies due to tedium writing and researching them would require.

    Love is almost invariably interested by modern westerners as eros. That's how the opponents of civilisation and of the Gospel get away with their propaganda - how can anyone be against love? By the way, it is hard to find your channel if you are not already subscribed eg many do not have YT accounts. "Understand the Bible seems to be one of those phrases in the search bo which generates a lot of results, just as you'd find if you input "fluffy kitten."

      Hello Chrisbean9663 Honestly I did not watch this whole video. I think he talks way too much about things that are not as complicated as he makes them sound. However, when I read your comment I felt like you were using an argument that you know as a reason not to believe in Jesus, that basically Jesus said he would come back, and then it all would be accomplished before that generation would pass away. Since Jesus has not returned, and that generation has passed away, therefore, Jesus must not be true. My argument is that Jesus is real that he did die for our sins and was raised to life. Jesus did say, “only, the father knows the day and time of his return,” I think it is more likely you have miss interpreted the scripture rather than proving that God does not exist based on Matthew24.

    • @chrisbean9663
      @chrisbean9663 Před 3 měsíci

      Hello trust in the sun, the point Jesus was saying that he would be returning within the lifetime of my name is disciples. He did not do this. He said that he’d be coming soon, and the king was a hand. This didn’t happen either people do not know the day he returned, but we knew it wouldn’t be within 2000 years. It should’ve been within at least 40 or so his generation his age Something badly you just have to say well he wasn’t the guy a lot of what he did. I thought was valuable think a lot of Christians valued what he taught we have a better world but instead they co-op them into Christian nationalism and a lot of other horrible things that Christians did like people to stake and doing a lot of things that would’ve pulled his hair out of the wash them do it, I do not know that he was not crucified or he did not believe what he thought was true, but he really did try to make an attempt to make the world better and that’s pretty good but by extension you sure wouldn’t want to go out and write a whole bunch of books about him coming later on afterwards or a big movie and charge Christian a whole bunch of money to see their movies make policy on what they thought you would want to do and basically all you’re looking at stories are written about Jesus not a blow by blow detailed report of what he did if you read all the gospels, you’ll notice how it just keeps bumping them up and do higher and higher powers with each one the fishtail just keeps getting bigger and bigger. Use that to get your vote your labor and your money and Jesus if he existed or is capable would come right down here and paddle the butt of anybody to try to do that and God would definitely have a serious issue with that but no.

      Well, it sounds like you’re saying Christ did live, but that he isn’t who he claimed to be or that as history has gone on he has been elevated and puffed up into something that he was not. That he did his best but ultimately he died a meaningless death. At this point Jesus Christ said he was the only begotten Son of God, that he came from heaven and existed before Abraham was born, and that Jesus is uniquely born of God. These claims are in the gospels. His words are recorded. He has authority over death and sickness. What I do have is a belief that Jesus chose to die although he had done nothing wrong, but yes, that sin was as serious, and as evil and mortally corrupted that Jesus, (the lamb of God) his wounds purchased my healing and that death was necessary, and that death was the punishment, a good God has ascribed to sin, but that when Jesus died, who is without sin, who became sin for us sinners that we might become his righteousness, I think there’s something very strong about that claim and that whoever would believe in him would live forever without pain without suffering, so yes, I believe Jesus died to eliminate suffering forever. I do believe Jesus did more than this when he died on the cross, because I believe that he was good, obedient and without sin to the point of death. That God vindicated him and he is now seated at the right hand in heaven.

    "I don't think it's possible to underestimate just how little people know about Jesus and the gospel" I don't think that says what you think it says.

      Indeed. About Jesus: No testimony from an eyewitness, no mention from contemporary historians, no direct evidence of his existence, literally everything known about his life is circumstantial and hearsay. About the gospels: It is not known who wrote them; they are anonymous texts, written in third person, generations after Jesus's death and in a different language from the one he and his disciples spoke. In a time when a minuscule percentage of the population could write in their own language. The titles they now carry were given to them in the second half of the second century by people who didn't know better.

      @@vejeke I can't say I disagree with you, but I was just referring to the grammatical logic. He wants to say people don't know all that much about Jesus/gospel, but in that case it's very easily possible to underestimate how little people know. It's the triple negatives that throw us off.

      Vejeke… the gospels are four separate eyewitness accounts of Jesus. Josephus was a historical non-Christian reference of Jesus’s life.

      @@TrustintheSon1 The gospels are not eyewitness accounts and are certainly not independent of each other. Josephus was not even born when Jesus was already dead. Don't take my word for it, go and check it out for yourself.
