Well done again brother David, with so much confusion today on many issues you, have helped me understand importance of "Paying Attention". MARANATHA!!!!!!
Fascinating lesson - thank you for articulating this so clearly through Scripture!
Thank you, David .Grace to you all ❤
Good information
So many questions that I had were answered
Thanks Pastor
1 Corinthians 15:1-4 kjv.
Romans 6:3-4
Good preaching is merely a reinforcement of truths in the Bible, not new revelations. Well done Pastor David for this amazing lesson. Thanks for the special role you have for the edification of the BOC.
On a different note, would like to know how to submit a Single question for clarification. Thank you.
@leelasunny4399 Leela, thanks for the kind words. Here is where to submit questions. Grace.

You are correct. That "we" in Acts 16:10 got me, lol. I have been studying that book for almost 50 years, 23 in right division, and never gave attention to that! (And, I am sure there are many things I have yet to see)
Me too, and I think it's Luke who wrote the book of Acts. But I am not positive.
@@JoyousinChrist417 Yes, Luke did :)
I certainly would have missed out on a lot had I not seen this. As you neared the end, I can really visualize how God has purposed things in both heaven and earth. I especially took notice when you got into how each disciple chose how to go in to their dispensation. How Luke and Paul blessed each other's ministries. One may wonder why the disciples who chose the earthly kingdom instead of joining the body of Christ ( heavenly), but Christ chose them for that purpose and they knew it. I hope my words made sense. I have a hard time finding the right ones to use. God bless
Excellent lesson! When reading through Acts again recently, I was struck by how the writer seemed to be including himself in Paul's gospel. Also, I think Ephesians 3:5 provides another piece of this puzzle, where other apostles are mentioned. These cannot be those of the kingdom gospel, for why would they be given revelation of the mystery? Eph 3:5 Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;
It seems to fit very nicely that these apostles are likely Apollos, Silas, and Luke.
If we are part of the body of Christ and he will sit on the throne of David forever, wouldn't we be here as well, being Christ's body?
Thank you Sir David for another sermon help to edify the Body of Christ to counter the false doctrine spread in Christendom today. Please include me in your prayers that God will enable me by His sufficient grace to speak boldly the message and the power of the gospel of grace here in my community in the Philippines.. God bless you all with grace and peace, Bryan from Mindanao, Philippines.
Had to be a challenge for these kingdom church members, who, after having obeyed the law of Moses for some period of time, to agree to follow Paul in his ministry and stop the practice of the law, start preaching to an audience (Gentiles) that they are not under the law.
Another passage that comes to mind regarding Paul vs. those of the circumcision:
Romans 15:20 KJB _Yea, so have I strived to preach the gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I should build upon another man's foundation:_
Would seem to me that the book of Luke was written only by the historical time of the contents of 2 Timothy, as Luke could not be able to say he had perfect understanding (under the context of working with Paul) until the last of Jesus' revelations to Paul had been given and spoken by Paul, at the end of his life.
Luke 1:3 KJB _It seemed good to me also, having had perfect understanding of all things from the very first, to write unto thee in order, most excellent Theophilus,_
@lifted_above Thanks for the very thoughtful post. Alleluia.
@@ColumbusBibleChurch Thank you!
Apt to teach...Thanks brother. Just a thought ...Could Luke have written Hebrews?
@timamyett It's possible. The two best candidates are Luke and John Mark.

Great message ! Gal. 2:7 the word "of" is the key! It is not the word "to". Big difference. If words matter.
Again, this message is clear and easily understandable.
Is it true that your son has written a book? and if so my wife and I would like to check it out. Where can we purchase it that would help the most?
@coreyabraham8617 Thanks for the very kind words. Here is where you can order Stephen's book. Thanks for asking. Grace.

I bought and read Stephen's book (Amazon I believe). It was quite helpful! It's a great KJB resource.
Brother David-Powerful sermon that got me thinking.
In Eph.4: 11, it states the gifts , one of the them apostles. Since these gifts ceased( 1 Cor 13:8), couldn’t they possibly revert back to the kingdom program?
@d0cn0tes We are not sure we understand your question. Grace.
You talk about the workers ( Barnabas, Apollos, et.al) that “transferred ” to grace from the kingdom program. Since the gifts ceased (one being apostles ) , and the faith was now perfect(1 Cor 13:10), isn’t it possible that these guys reverted back to the kingdom program ,after the knowledge of grace became perfect ? ( Romans11:29)
@@d0cn0tes Anything is possible, but we are not aware of any verse that would suggest such a thing. Moreover, it seems contrary to God's purposes in transferring them to the body of Christ. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind. Grace.
2Co 5:2 - For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven: --- Does "from heaven" not mean it could have moved or will move?
Since new Jerusalem and Jesus Christ are eternal and in heaven but both come to earth then why would a house not made with hands, be confined to heaven.
30:32
Since you argue from Acts 14:14 that Barnabas must be an “apostle” to the Body of Christ, since the apostles to Israel are fixed at 12, how do you reconcile this with Galatians 1:19 where “James, the Lord’s brother” is reckoned with “the apostles”? Is James an apostle to Israel or to the Body of Christ?
@stevenhayes1611 Good point. For certain, James is not an apostle to the body of Christ, but this raises the issue of the number 12. I will have to study and think about this.
@@ColumbusBibleChurchThat’s my thinking as well. I hope you don’t regard me as a pain in your backside, I don’t mean to be, but I’m desperate to resolve dispensational issues in my own mind, and I find your Biblical understanding is almost always soundly thought out. God bless.
@stevenhayes1611 Steven, we appreciate your listenership and your thoughtful questions. There are many things that we don't know, but we will share what we think we know. Grace.
@@ColumbusBibleChurch James can't be one of the 12 - his belief that Jesus was in fact the Christ, was after Jesus' resurrection and it was Jesus Himself who proved it to him post-resurrection, wherein James was not a follower of Jesus during His earthly ministry, just like Paul, who also is not one of the 12. James became a "Little Flock" contributing member, his inheritance the earthly Kingdom. All to say, "the number 12" is not at issue; James' apostleship does not "tip the scales" of "12". 🤗👈 A hug and a smile for you today, Pastor David, from Oregon!
@@ColumbusBibleChurch Sharing what I understood after I searched for apostles and James in BLB. In Gal 1:19, James is called "the Lord's brother" rather than an apostle. 1Co 15:7 proves it I believe. Please correct me if I've misunderstood something here.
1Co 15:7 KJV
After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles.
In greek gematria
Jesus Iesous, is 888
Especially if Peter & Paul are different?
Circumcision & Uncircumcision
Is gematria even biblical? Isn’t it invented by a man?
