1 Samuel 17:17-39 17 Then Jesse said to his son David, “Take now for your brothers an ephah of this dried grain and these ten loaves, and run to your brothers at the camp. 18 And carry these ten cheeses to the captain of their thousand, and see how your brothers fare, and bring back news of them.” 19 Now Saul and they and all the men of Israel were in the Valley of Elah, fighting with the Philistines. 20 So David rose early in the morning, left the sheep with a keeper, and took the things and went as …

Genesis Message 15 Adamic Covenant Summary

by

Published on Jun 2, 2016 In this video Dr Woodhead discusses the Adamic covenant is unconditional in which God declared to Adam what man’s life would be like now that sin is in the world. The conditions of this covenant will exist until the Kingdom Age (Romans 8:21). There is no appeal and there are no human conditions or responsibility involved. The outcome of the arrangement is entirely based on God and His sovereign control. Mankind has no personal activity immediately assigned such as if you do this then I God will do that. Elements of the covenant are the …

Genesis Message 16 The Conditions of Women after The Fall

by

Published on Jun 2, 2016 In this video Dr Woodhead discusses how God begins to address the woman and He starts with a discussion of her state during childbirth. There might have been some discomfort associated with the birth of a child in the original state, into which the woman was created but now, that would be painful. Additionally, her ability to conceive would be monthly as now indicated by her menstrual cycle. Previously that would be less frequent. Some believe that since she along with Adam were created to live forever that the need for frequent offspring to populate …

Genesis Message 17 The Post Fall Condition of Earth

by

In this video Dr Woodhead discusses Adam’s first exercise of his new dominion since the Fall is to provide a name for his wife whom he previously only called “The Woman” (Genesis 2: 23). Adam stated that the reason he called her woman was because she was taken out of man. In Hebrew and in English there is a wordplay between the words “man” (אִישׁ, ˒îšh) and “woman” (אִשָּׁה, ˒išhāh) The Hebrew words for man and woman are ish and isha. It amounts to a sort of play-on-words. Man was not made from women initially; Woman was made from man. …

Genesis Message 18 Cain and Abel

by

In this video Dr Woodhead discusses how Adam knew Chavah (Eve) a woman and she conceived and begat Cain. Because the word knew is past tense it is quite probable that the intercourse and pregnancy occurred prior to sin entering the world. The Jewish rabbis believe that both Cain and Abel were born before the sin of their parents. Because of the fact that Eve delineates a man as the child she must have had other children and some of those had to be females. We will see in our next session that Cain had a wife (Genesis 4: 17). …

The Secret Of The Lord

by

                                                                    The secret of the Lord is with them that fear Him. — Psalm 25:14     What is the sign of a friend? That he tells you secret Sorrows? No, that he tells you secret joys. Many will confide to you their secret sorrows, but the last mark of intimacy is to confide secret joys. Have we ever let God tell us any of His joys, …

"He humbled himself." Philippians 2:8

by

  Jesus is the great teacher of lowliness of heart. We need daily to learn of him. See the Master taking a towel and washing his disciples’ feet! Follower of Christ, wilt thou not humble thyself? See him as the Servant of servants, and surely thou canst not be proud! Is not this sentence the compendium of his biography, “He humbled himself”? Was he not on earth always stripping off first one robe of honour and then another, till, naked, he was fastened to the cross, and there did he not empty out his inmost self, pouring out his life-blood, …

God’s Provision of a Complete Salvation

by

The Bible not only gives a full revelation of Jesus Christ as the Savior but also reveals in detail what happens the moment a person is saved. It becomes very obvious as one studies this in the Bible that salvation is something that God does for us, not something we do for God. The New Birth When a person believes in Jesus Christ as his Savior, one of the dramatic results is that he is born again, or regenerated. Many Scriptures are related to this doctrine (John 1:13; 3:3-7; 5:21; Rom. 6:13; 2 Cor. 5:17; Eph. 2:5, 10; 4:24; Titus …

What the Law Says

by

Reflections Now we know that what things the law says, it says to them who are under the law, that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. (Gal. 3:19)     What does the law say to those who are trying to keep right with God by obeying it? It says, “You are guilty. In fact, you are dead. So your mouth had better stop speaking about the possibilities of your own righteousness.” The more we try to obey God’s law, the more we are exposed as dead. Why? Because the fundamental problem …

"For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh." Galatians 5:17

by

  In every believer’s heart there is a constant struggle between the old nature and the new. The old nature is very active, and loses no opportunity of plying all the weapons of its deadly armoury against newborn grace; while on the other hand, the new nature is ever on the watch to resist and destroy its enemy. Grace within us will employ prayer, and faith, and hope, and love, to cast out the evil; it takes unto it the “whole armour of God,” and wrestles earnestly. These two opposing natures will never cease to struggle so long as we …

MEASURING FOR GROWTH

by

Ephesians 4:14-16 14 that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, 15 but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ— 16 from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love. (photo, Echo Lake,NH) As believers, we should constantly …

Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise.

by

  Faith is going to determine which of two things is going to characterize us. This is the real point. It is either going to be that we are living under a terrible paralysis, as altogether petrified through confusion, perplexity, inability to understand, being unable to disentangle, to sort things out, to see straight and see clearly, to know what is meant by happenings. That means utter paralysis, simply standing with our hands on our hips, helpless and hopeless. That is the effect of the absence of a positive faith. The only way of Life and deliverance from such a …
