A very meaningful message God bless you

Thank you God for anointing your Servant 🙏🙏🙏

Beginning a new series: The "I AM" Sayings of Jesus. This is the first video in this series based on John 6:35 - "I am the bread of life." Human beings have several hungers and thirsts. In order to satisfy these hungers and thirsts, people often consume "that which cannot satisfy" or "that which is not food." This is one part of the discussion in this video. We would also discuss the example of a person who consumed the 'food that cannot satisfy' and was miserable in life. In John 6, after feeding the 5000 men with five loaves and two fish, Jesus says to those around him, "do not work for food that spoils." He asks people to receive the bread that the Father has sent from heaven. He introduces Himself as the Bread of Life. According to Jesus, whoever comes to the Bread of Life "will never go hungry." Watch till the very end to benefit from it. Thank you!

Praise the lord

God bless you

The book of Daniel prophesies about Alexander the Great directly at least three times in Daniel chapters 7, 8, and 11. There is an indirect reference to him in Daniel 2. This video is divided into two parts: section one discusses these prophecies. Section two discusses the writings of Josephus. Josephus, the first century Jewish historian, writes of a vision that Alexander received from God. He treats the Jewish high priest and other priests with great respect. According to Josephus, Alexander is shown the passages from the book of Daniel that speak about him - and Alexander acknowledges that those passages are about him. This results in the Jews receiving several favors from him. This is the final video in the series God and Pagan Kings - a series that discussed God's revelations to many mighty kings.

I have grown-,up as a Christian in cessionist churches, my experience is that it is believed that at least one gift of the Spirit is bestowed on a believer at conversion but not the extraordinary gifts

Very nice message God bless y

God bless you

Approximately 150 years before King Cyrus was born, Isaiah prophesied about him. King Cyrus was to be God's shepherd and anointed. God promised him that He would open doors and gates for him and provide him with favor, victories and wealth. Isiaih also promised that Cyrus would be the one to help the Israelites in exile to be able to return to Jerusalem and rebuild the Temple. Josephus, the first-century Jewish historian, writes about the historical events surrounding King Cyrus and his allowing the Jews to return to rebuild the Temple. According to Josephus, King Cyrus knew about Isiaih's prophecies!!!

This is an excellent teaching. Thank you Dr Thomas and all glory to God.

A nice message God loves you

Prophet Jeremiah made several prophecies concerning King Nebuchadnezzar, King of Babylon. His name is mentioned 35 times in the book of Jeremiah. Jeremiah repeatedly warned the kings and people of Judah that Nebuchadnezzar would attack Judah and defeat them, and exile its people, if they did not repent. Somehow, King Nebuchadnezzar knew of these prophecies about him. So, he treats Jeremiah with respect. God has revealed Himself to Nebuchadnezzar multiple times (three times in the Book of Daniel as discussed in the second video of this series) in the books of Jeremiah and Daniel. God reveals Himself as someone who is sovereign over kingdoms and rulers. I believe it is God's mercy and grace that God reveals Himself to Nebuchadnezzar, a pagan king, time and time again.

Thank you so much sir ji. It’s indeed blessing🙌.

King Nebuchadnezzar received some revelations from God that were miraculous and undeniably divine. God gave him revelations about future world empires and the coming Kingdom of God. God showed him that He alone is to be worshipped and that He can save His people from impossible situations - even from a fiery furnace. God showed him that God is a mercy - who allows people ample opportunities to repent and turn to Him. He also revealed Himself as a God of judgement - a God who is able to bring down the proud. He also revealed Himself as a God of restoration - a God who is able to restore everything to the repentant. The first few chapters of Daniel bear ample witness to God's revelations to Nebuchadnezzar - the most powerful man of that time.

Excellent Bible study praise the lord

Exodus chapters 1 to 15 describe God's interactions with Pharoah - king of Egypt. Pharoah and his officials were cruel taskmasters and harassed and oppressed the Israelites. When God told him through Moses, "Let my people go," Pharoah asked, 'Who is the God of Israel that I should let the people of Israel go.' In the next few chapters, God revealed Himself to Pharoah, his officials, the Egyptians, and the Israelites about His identity and power. He showed Himself to be more powerful than all the gods of Egypt - the plagues were judgments on the gods of Egypt. God revealed Himself to be in control over nature, the solar system, life and death, battles, and so on. Despite all of God's glory and power and sovereignty on majestic display, Pharoah refused to accept the light of God's revelations. He knew and understood the truth, but refused to embrace it. His hardheartedness and stubbornness led to his own destruction and to the destruction of his people in many ways. Watch the video to see how God hardened Pharoah's heart only after Pharoah hardened his heart against God multiple times.

It's a great teaching thank you sir

Amen Dr. Sam!

Please stop telling everybody you had sex with a goat. That's nastyyyy

Very nice message God bless you

Utter bullshit, coming from a collection of stories told eons after it supposedly happened. Pathetic

Very good point. I believe you are right.

God bless you

The FINAL installment of the series: GOD AND THE POOR. This video focuses on the Gospels. It discusses the voluntary poverty that Jesus chose in His incarnation. It discusses His experiences with poverty and His very ordinary circumstances in life. His teachings about the poor and needy and His approach towards them are also discussed. Jesus's interactions with the Poor form the last section in this video. May God bless you!

Praise the lord

During the times of the Prophets, they criticized the people of God and their leaders - the priests, prophets, kings, and officials - for failing to take care of the poor and needy among them. Instead, they were oppressed, and their rights not honored. They failed to love their neighbor as themselves. They failed in their legislatures; their judiciaries failed to protect the poor and needy; their executive branches of government were guilty of oppressing the needy, and the religious leaders failed to teach the people of God to love their neighbors.

This is a study on the Books of Moses. First of all, God saw the misery of the people of Israel in Egypt, He heard their cries for mercy, and came down to deliver them. In His Law to the people of Israel, God instructed them repeatedly that they are not to forget the times of slavery in Egypt. This collective memory (historical consciousness) would be important in helping them to know how to deal with the poor and needy among them. Further, God gave them specific instructions on how they are to treat the poor who took loans from them, how to treat the needy who sold their lands to avoid poverty, and so on. In other words, God reveals Himself as the God who cares for the poor and the needy. He wanted His people to also demonstrate such an approach towards the suffering people among them.

God bless you

Greatly blessed by the meaningful study from the book of Psalms and Proverbs . Thank you and God bless.

Beginning a new Bible Study series titled GOD AND THE POOR. The first video is a study based on Psalms and Proverbs. David and Solomon have much to teach us on the nature and character of God based on His relationship with the poor and needy. Psalms reveal several instances when the poor express their faith and confidence in God. Most interestingly, there are several passages that describe the relationship of the righteous with the poor and the relationship of the wicked and the poor. Be blessed!

The final installment in this series on Paul and his friends. Timothy is one of the closest associates of Paul. He has travelled the most with Paul - he was constantly present with Paul during his second and third missionary journeys. (Paul went through his town and neighboring towns during his first missionary journey. Timothy was an eye-witness to Paul's struggles during his first missionary journey.) He was like a son to Paul. He co-founded several churches along with Paul in important cities like Philippi, Thessalonica, Berea, Corinth, Ephesus, and so on. Paul sent him on many assignments to represent him at Philippi, Thessalonica, Corinth and Ephesus. He was with Paul even during the first Roman imprisonment. Paul wants Timothy to be with him during the final days of his life, hence he writes II Timothy. All in all, Timothy is a great man of God - much to learn from his commitment to the cause of the Gospel and his son-like faithfulness towards Paul.

Timothy is the beloved son of God Praise the lord

Praise the lord

Thank you! Dr. Sam for explaining it.

Titus was in several difficult situations. As a member of the Church of Antioch, he was under pressure to be circumcised by Jewish Christians because Titus was a Gentile Christian. He came to the Church of Jerusalem along with Paul and Barnabas to find a solution to this problem. He was Paul's representative to the Church of Corinth during a very difficult time. He was the bearer of a "severe letter" from Paul to the Corinthians. Thankfully, that situation played out well. Paul then left him in the island of Crete - not an easy place to minister - with some important tasks to complete. He must have met Paul in Nicopolis, he was with Paul during the initial days of his second imprisonment in Rome, and also in the Dalmatia region for the Gospel. Clearly, he was a great man of God - well-travelled, assigned by Paul for difficult tasks, well-trusted and loved by the Corinthians. A man to be respected and emulated.

Blessed study. Never know this much about Silas

God bless you

Silas is a co-founder of at least four churches along with Paul - churches at Philippi, Thessalonica, Berea and Corinth. Silas was a member of the church of Jerusalem and Antioch. He was a prophet, a leader, Roman citizen, itinerant evangelist, church planter. He also helped one of the apostles write an epistle.

Well described 🙏

Well said👍

Jesus bless you

Dr. Sam Thomas, very informative message, Praise the Lord. I still remember you were preaching in NTC Chapel about Paul's companions while I studied there.. It is our prayers that God may use you for the extension of His Kingdom

Thanks Dr. Sam for this great character study

Epaphroditus is a friend of Paul. Not many great exploits. Just a volunteer at the Church of Philippi. Thank God for volunteers at church! Volunteers at church sacrificially give of their time, energy, talents, and efforts to the people of God and the Kingdom of God. A lot of work at church is done through such volunteers. Epaphroditus was one such volunteer. He volunteered to help Paul in Roman imprisonment with money and other help sent from the Church of Philippi. He almost died doing so. However, his volunteering made him a great blessing to Paul, the Philippian Church, and to us. You would also learn a unique characteristic of the Church of Philippi.

Nice lesson bhaiya! Praise the Lord

great to see another lesson of the series

Maranatha God bless you

Luke is an important and influential friend of Paul. Intellectually, he was an equal to Paul. He was a physician by training and practice. He was a traveler - he was with Paul for portions of Paul's second and third missionary journeys. He spent time with Paul during the final years of Paul's life - a good, loyal friend. I believe they discussed theology and their writings with each other. Interested in the life of Luke? Listen to this video.

Thanks be to God for Tychichus' life and testimony....from a Postman to a Pastor. Greatly blessed the teaching, Sam. Keep shining for Jesus!
