This week we talk about the rich and famous! Are they impossible to reach? Are rich and famous people outside the possibility of salvation? How can the rich and famous be discipled? How does a Christian witness to them? Is it even possible? Throughout the Bible there have been examples of rich and famous people. Wealth and status, of themselves, are not evil things. Often, it's the misuse that leads to spiritual problems which hinder salvation. What the Bible teaches on this subject may surprise you.
What kinds of people did Jesus reach out to? How do we define "social outcasts". Does God expect us to reach out to the poor, the imprisoned, the mentally ill, and those with diseases? What does the example of Jesus show us in scripture, and what does this example mean for Christians today? How should the church relate to sinners? These questions are explored in this week's lesson.
How did Jesus go about making a difference in the lives of ordinary people? What does scripture tell us about how Jesus, Himself, grew up? What message might this hold for Christians today? How can we disciple everyday, ordinary people? We explore these questions in this week's broadcast. Jesus taught that every human being has value in the eyes of God. Do we recognize that as we come in contact with people whom Jesus died for?
In this week's lesson we explore Jesus' ministry of miracle healing and the impact of His ministry. We will also look at the healing done by His disciples. What message does this have for the church today? What was Jesus trying to convey about salvation? Jesus healed mental illnesses, diseases, blood issues, leprosy, and all forms of health issues. He even had power to heal the greatest cancer of all--Death! What does scripture mean by its statement that Jesus is "Resurrection and Life"? What does all this have to do with our lives today?
In this week's lesson we explore the importance of young people. Does God care about children? What was the fundamental difference between the ancient cultures surrounding the Hebrews and the way the Israelites viewed children? How did Jesus feel about young people? What does God say about how we should treat them? Rasheen Stephenson and John Spellman tackle some sensitive subject matter.
John Spellman preaches at the Babylon SDA Church in New York on the three potential disciples of Jesus in Luke 9:57-62. Jesus taught that the road to preaching the Kingdom of God is not an easy road. But, what might His responses to the three men be saying to people of the world today? How might these messages apply to our generation? Is it possible to be dead, while you're living and walking around? Does God have an answer for spiritual death?
What is the purpose of Prayer? Can mankind really interact with God? How does prayer aid in discipleship? Do you always have to kneel for your prayers to be heard? What is the most effective way to talk to God? This week we explore the subject of prayer, looking at examples of how Jesus and His disciples prayed. We'll also be looking at what that means for us today.
Jesus, the greatest teacher that ever lived, used metaphor and other forms of figurative techniques, to reach the people He came to save. Many other Biblical writers used allegories and metaphor as well. On the other hand, scholars, like the apostle Paul, were plain and straight forward. Why did God sometimes use parables and allegories to communicate with His people? What does this tell us about God's character? Do these messages still hold relevance for us today? What does the way God communicates with us have to say about how God created us? We will explore these questions in this week's lesson.
This week we study the essence of the Great Controversy over God's character. Why is God on trial? Why does God need to vindicate His character to anyone? What were Satan's lies about God and how has God chosen to respond? God created beings that are free moral agents. What does this say about His government as king of the Universe? Can there truly be a merger of justice and love? If God was only love, or only justice, what would that mean for us?
John Spellman preaches at the Outreach SDA Church in St. Albans. The focus of this message is on Galatians 4:28-31. Paul uses the story of Hagar and Sarah (the bond and free woman) as an allegory for the Old Covenant and New Covenant church. But how might this feud between the two women illustrate what goes on in our Christian experience today? How can we learn from this story? Both women had children (Ishmael & Isaac) by the patriarch Abraham, and both had expectancy toward the inheritance. However, only the child of the free woman would be the heir. What does that mean for us today?
God has a special message proclaimed through His end time people. A message of warning about His judgment. Does God's judgment take place before or after the second coming? How does God know whom to give His reward to? What is this special warning message that must go to all the world? What does it have to do with the investigative phase of the final judgment? Why is it that only the Church gets judged? What will happen to the wicked? These questions and more are explored in this week's lesson.
