the scripture how the deception comes so subtly. So our minds can be led astray from the simplicity and purity of devotion to Christ. Most of the times our Christian walk is supposed to be very simple. Uh but we do we have a

sin that I've ever committed all my failures all the shame all of it I hate it and the reason is and I want to take you to the Scriptures it was actually the scripture that showed me um showed me my sin and I want to show you Peter's sin

standing up for christ and the truth of the new testament if they did not persecute me and harass me how would i obey the scripture which says pray for those who persecute you i thank god for those who persecuted me so everything what's my good makes me a

found I was powerless I knew the Scriptures what I was didn't have power had in that boldness so I began to seek God on my own I was disappointed with much that I saw in Pentecostal churches so I said Lord I want to meet with you I don't want to

donkey and that takes that humility and says it's all about the lord it's not about me and then finally we looked at the scriptures very carefully and we compared two gospels and we saw wait a minute there are two donkeys

May the Lord help us to see the power in the word of God and less scrolling and more flipping his pages daily having a habit habit of reading a daily scripture portion and asking him to fill us with his power. Even our Lord Jesus Christ himself, we

Paul he's already written so much of scripture he's already planted so many churches overseeing churches overseeing Elders of churches and he still says I've not obtained it but I press on verse 12. so that I may lay hold of that for which

from scripture of of folks that we can now have fellowship with because we recognize that we love the truth the same way they did and we're encouraged in that like the thief on the cross did not originally embrace the truth it said

underneath the surface in all of Scripture what we see is a conflict between God and Satan and the harder man is the battlefield and in most cases

what passage of scripture. But if you look at the first chapter in verse 14, Peter's essentially saying, "The Lord has made clear to me, I'm going to die. I'm going to die."

had the exact same Timpson temptations because that's what scripture says it says he was tempted in all points as we are yet without sin and that's the that that mystery is an encouragement to me so now when I struggle with temptation I

his heart and loving others as himself so God enabled Paul to be able to say follow me as I follow Christ and that is our calling also think what Jesus said in Matthew chapter 5 you know there are verses in Scripture which we don't take

literal. It's meant to be illustrative that I've learned that, you know, in reading my Bible and in stud studying the scriptures that these same principles apply. And I want to walk through some of these verses and show

people are the people that we consider great and the scripture makes it very clear but i never you know only to put maybe the last few years started reading it this way that the people that i consider great in my life should be the ones that

home. It should always originate at home. Are you kind at home? Let's look at a scripture. Now, I was thinking about these verses and imagine I I put all these things in a box. If you're not familiar with the passage, you will be after I share. I think

must always read scripture very carefully every word is important you notice it doesn't say bear witness for me but be witnesses to me you know the difference between bearing witness for Christ and being a witness for Christ bearing Witnesses with my lips I

that I don't pay the scripture right I don't know what this evil movie is I don't know anything about it and and brothers and sisters I tell you that very in lovingly don't don't find your entertainment in fear there's nothing good about in fact my whole

very clear yes if I ask the question was Jesus God I look at these two verses it's not it's clear but Jesus was absolutely God and that's very clear from Scripture and so how do you reconcile these two things if God cannot be tempted and yet Jesus was

different time zones. But this is the verse I I hope all of us are familiar with this verse. 2 Timothy 3:16 tells us who is the ultimate author of the book. Right? I hope all of us memorize this verse. All scripture is inspired by God.

praise you in Jesus name. Amen. All right, we're continuing uh a series. I when when I started, I never intended it to be this long. Um, but we're going to continue looking at money in the scriptures and and seeing what the Lord

Rob mentioned, some of the things we reap, things that we did not sow. Is God's goodness, God's kindness. It's a balance to the scripture uh based on what Jesus has done for us. We reap a lot of victory because of what God has done on the cross uh through our

divorce he permitted divorce very easy to twist scripture the Pharisees twisted it if they didn't like their wives they just saying Moses commanded it Moses never commanded it even today divorce is not commanded so you know because some

anywhere in scripture by the way Lucifer is just a Latin expression in Isaiah 14 but we don't know his name but whatever it is the I think God doesn't want us to know his what his name was before so let's call him Lucifer he became proud as soon as Pride
