Beyond the Walls with Jeremy Thomas

But what about works, doesn't James teach that works are necessary for salvation? In this session, Jeremy answers that question by looking at who James is talking about and to. Hint, the most controversial part of this passage isn't what James believes, but what his debate opponent believes.

Are you living your life in the past, present, or future? In this session, Jeremy looks at these three periods of time as it relates to salvation, and we find that understanding the time zone the Bible is talking about really helps our understanding. God chose the Greek language in the New Testament because it is so precise, He wants us to know what He is telling us. If you found this insightful o...

In this session, Jeremy examines one of the three tenses of salvation, the state we are in right now, that of being saved.

In this session, Jeremy continues to explain the results of salvation, one of which is eternal life. What does it mean to have eternal security? Is this the same as assurance?

You may have heard that it is wrong to covet rewards from God, that it is selfish or unchristian to want that, Jeremy looks at this issue to see if that opinion is correct.

Have you doubted your salvation? Jeremy looks at salvation and the security of your salvation to give your confidence. Not because of the logic he applies to the Scripture, but because the One we have placed our faith in is infinitely superior to us and has made many astounding promises. This is no small topic, in fact it should be our personal motivation to live a life pleasing to God. If you fou...

In this session, Jeremy examines the perfect being advocating for us before a powerful and just God. No Supreme Court Justice is this good. No Harvard educated lawyer is this persuasive.

In this session, Jeremy answers a question about election, what is it and when does it occur? He then looks at five more results of salvation, things that we have no control over and happen automatically; it's good stuff.

In this session, Jeremy continues to clarify and explain the simplicity of salvation and our role, or lack thereof, in the process. It is very important for us to understand just what is needed for someone to gain eternal life, because we don't want to put a stumbling block in front of them. We want them to have the same assurance that we have, and are gaining as we study this deep topic. If...

In this session, Jeremy describes the order of salvation by tying together several passages to make the roles of each individual clear. The encouraging part for you and I is that our role is simple; to either tell or believe.

In this session, Jeremy puts the individual and their condition, or circumstances, into view within the universal context of salvation. Salvation is a free gift available to all people, that is the universal aspect. But each persons own circumstances are at work as well. Are you open minded to hear the Good News? And this is where it gets messy, we often conflate what brings a person to the point...

In this session, Jeremy looks at search results for Gospel Tracts to see how accurate or useful these are; hint, not very. It's not that they don't have the truth, it's that they add more to what is needed than God said is needed. What they add may be good for fellowship, but is it needed for salvation? If you found this insightful or helpful, Jeremy has a companion book for this se...

In this session, Jeremy looks to Paul to see a clear, concise version of how to preach the gospel, the good news, to those you are interacting with.

In this session, Jeremy wades into the controversy of who Jesus died for, just a certain number of people or for all people. This is a controversial topic because good men have struggled using their own logic to make scripture coherent. But their struggle is in vain because it already is coherent, if you keep the context and audience in mind. The Greek language is precise if we follow it's ru...

In this session, Jeremy wades into the controversy, is salvation for all who believe or only for those chosen by God? It's a debate that has raged for centuries and hinges upon not only what God has said on the matter, but upon the logic we apply to the question.

Jeremy is quick to point out that God is very precise in the language He uses in the Bible. But why is this? Politicians will often be vague, especially on the campaign trail, so that they can claim they've accomplished what they said regardless of what has happened. But God is not like this at all! He wants us to be absolutely positive of what He has done. Therefore how He describes Jesus as...

Jeremy prefers the phrase 'Once Justified, Always Justified' because it it far more precise, accurate, and not subject to interpretation or the whimsy of man. Let's see why?

Jeremy often starts out his teaching at church with a reminder to get into fellowship with God by confessing known sin. This is a good thing for each of us to consider and do regularly to maintain fellowship with God.

In this session, Jeremy examines the different ways the Bible uses one word. Much like English, Hebrew words will take on different meanings based on their context. Think for a moment about the word 'brake' in the context of a glass or a car. In Hebrew, the word for saved or salvation takes on deeper and more specific meaning over time. And the context is critical to determine if it is t...

In this session, Jeremy looks at one interpretation of the Hebrew word that came to mean salvation. It's a word that's original meaning was roominess as opposed to being confined. How does this word come to mean salvation and what is the implication for the freewill of mankind? If you found this insightful or helpful, Jeremy has a companion book for this series available on Amazon, you c...

In this session, Jeremy ties together four doctrines to show God's grand strategy at work. Each of these topics are interconnected, relying upon each other for completeness and context. God's plan for His Kingdom is active within the Seed Promise, His Covenants, and how He is working through people. All of this is a necessary set up for the next act; Salvation. If you found this insightf...

In this session, Jeremy briefly describes how the Abrahamic Covenant, which is still in effect, has a modern application for each of us.
