Berean Bible Church - Virginia

For this media number 1000, let's take a look back at the beginning of Berean Bible Church, a Preterist church born in 1997.

Why in the middle of a discussion of love does John say, "No one has ever seen God"?

Who is this written to, and what is their position in Christ? And what does it mean to 'know God' exactly?

What does the Bible mean when it says that "God is Love"? Does His love override all His other attributes?

How do we believers living today test the spirits? We test everything by the Word of God. Believers, get familiar with your Bible—read it, study it, and be at home in it.

Yeshua is very clear on this matter. We abide in His love when we keep His commandments. Obedience results in mutual abiding: God in man and man in God.

The early Christians were renowned for their love. If we lived like that today, our Christianity, just like that of the early church, would have a positive effect on all who know us.

The rulers that we have are a result of the sin of Yahweh's people. A weak Church is not the victim of an evil society. An evil society is the victim of a weak Church.

Knowing the difference between principles and methods can resolves many disputes in the church and in life in general.

Was Yeshua born on Dec 25th? What is the significance of many aspects of the traditional Christmas celebration?

Forthcoming

The serpent seed doctrine is closely related to other beliefs such as the Christian Identity Movement and the Kenite doctrine. The serpent seed teaching was popularized by William Branham.

How could it be possible for there to be in the future a destruction of Jerusalem equal or greater than that which happened in A. D. 70? Yeshua said nothing in time would ever equal what happened in A. D. 70. Nothing.

The victory of Christ over the gods was won at Calvary, but it was not consummated until the destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70.

The children of the devil sin in that they do not believe in the Christ of the Bible. The children of God are made evident by their faith in Christ.

Was Christ a failure in this mission? Most Christians act like he was, they're still all worried about the devil. I think we want him to still be around, so we have someone to blame for our sin.

I want to try to answer two questions in our study this morning: 1. Who or what is the devil? 2. When is the beginning that the devil sinned from?

When a man is righteous, we know that the source of his righteousness is God. It is the righteousness that he did not possess in his fallen nature but acquired by the new birth.

This verse is telling us that we cannot commit the sin that unbelievers do - the sin that leads to death (i.e. rejecting Christ).

In spite of all the evidence, biblical and historical, some see 'the abomination of desolation' as referring to an event in our future.

One of ther foundational key interprative rules that has to be considered when studying the Bible, is that of the intended and understood meaning to the original audience. Only when we understand what it meant to them, can we even begin to grasp what it can mean for us.

The only way that we can be as pure as he is pure is to have his righteousness. And this righteousness was the believer’s prior to the coming of Christ only in an 'already but not yet form.

When a child exhibits the nature of his or her father, he or she is perceived as the child of the father. Practicing righteousness is normal - but it is not inevitable for one who is born of God.

Abiding in Him involves spending time in the Word, obeying His commands, living as Christ lived, and loving our brothers and sisters in Christ.

Believers, we are all called to abide in Christ and to, therefore, bear fruit. If we fail to do this, it will cost us in this life. We need to abide or we will be disciplined.
