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 …

Genesis Message 13 The Fall Part I

by

In this video Dr Woodhead discusses the Fall. The serpent (Hebrew nachash) is here introduced into Scripture for the first time as the one who brings temptation. The serpent is an actual serpent which Satan the adversary of God and mankind indwelt to communicate with the woman. We see the same intimate pairing of Satan and the serpent in the New Testament in at least three locations (II Corinthians 11:3; Revelation 12: 9 and 20: 2). Rabbinical theology affirms the truth of this actual pairing of Satan and the serpent. This is not some quaint myth. This further instructs us …

His psalms reveal that in surveying his life, he saw God’s fingerprints all over it. Like David, …

Righteousness Apart from Law

by

Reflections                                                              But now the righteousness of God completely apart from law keeping is manifested. (Rom. 3:21)   There are thousands of professing Christians today who believe that grace is the desire and power to do God’s will – i.e., they believe that grace is given as a POWER to keep right with God through their works. But unwittingly, they are really saying that grace puts them back under law — …
