MNC Fellowship

The only way we are ever going to obtain unity in the body of Saints is by obeying the exhortation Apostle Paul gives us: humble yourselves and be patient. There is one faith and one hope. We are to make every effort to be at oneness in the congregation.

Part 3 in the "From Passover to Easter" Series. Discusses the use of Easter in English translations before the KJV. Also looks at the symbology of the sun (in Scripture) in relation to Yahweh and Yeshua.

Part 2 in the "From Passover to Easter" series. This lesson covers the King James Bible translators, the Greek word pascha, a common King James Only interpretation of Acts 12:4, and the etymology of Easter.

Christians around the world today celebrate Easter Sunday. Did Christians in the first century A.D. do this? And what about the spring feast called Passover? Is Easter a mistranslation in Acts 12:4? These questions and more will be answered in this series of sermons centered around the Passover.

Ephesians 1-3 has taught us our position in the Messiah. We are blessed with the biggest blessing one could ever imagine, by being in the Son. In Ephesians 4 Paul begins to explain how we ought to live in light of our position, and it begins with humility, gentleness, and love for the saints.

If we want to be like the Messiah, we will deal with people gently, even difficult people.

Galatians 3:13-14 // Both Judahite and Gentile fall under the curse of the law. How is this curse lifted off of us? How is the penalty for disobedience taken care of? By Yahweh in Yeshua, that's how.

Galatians 3:11-12 // There are men of faith and there are men of works. This does not mean that the men of faith do not produce works. There is such a thing as works which aren't based upon faith. It is this that the Apostle Paul condemns.

We do not realize just how much love Yahweh has for us. He truly is able to do - through us - above and beyond all that we could ask or think.

Galatians 3:9-10 // I continue to develop a contextual understanding of verse 10 by showing that Yahweh says the law is not too difficult to keep, and the example of King Hezekiah becoming terminally ill. While that may not seem like it fits into Galatians 3:10, listen to learn how it does.

Galatians 3:10 // Why are those who are "of the works of the law" under the curse of the law? I thought being "of the works of the law" meant you were a lawful person? Listen to learn of what Yahweh requires, and how looking like you are righteous doesn't mean you are righteous.

Galatians 3:10 // How does being "of the works of the law" place one under a curse?

If we desire to be a spiritual person then we must do spiritual things. First on the list is pray and believe. We must ask Yahweh to give us strength to know the Messiah's love.

Galatians 3:8-9 // Paul says that the gospel was preached to Abraham. How? Did Abraham know everything we know today about the gospel?

Galatians 3:6-7 // Paul uses an argument from Genesis 15 to bolster the authenticity of the salvation of the Gentiles. He in turn wants his readers to see that those who carry the characteristic of faith are the true sons of Abraham.

Galatians 3:6-9 Intro // In the midst of his arguing for the Galatians salvation - apart from becoming Judahites - Paul brings up the great Patriarch Abraham. Why?

Who were the rulers and authorities in the heavens that the mystery of the Gentiles was made known to? 

Galatians 3:4-5 // The Gentiles had been suffering persecution for believing in Yeshua. They had also had mighty miracles done among them through the hands of the Apostles. How was this accomplished? Did they get circumcised and then experience persecution? Or, did the persecution come apart from the works of the law?

Galatians 3:1-3 // Paul minces no words when he calls the Galatians foolish and hypnotized. Make no mistake about it, there are religious men in the world who you need to avoid. This lesson also talks about how a person receives the Spirit, and how that if you have received the Spirit, you need not doubt when a self-proclaimed "prophet" tells you otherwise.

Galatians 3:1-5, INTRO // Basic review of the big picture in Galatians, and a beginning into chapter 3, particularly the part where Paul chastises the Galatian Gentiles for thinking they need to go back and do something that was already done.

There are some things that were concealed in the Old Testament that were revealed in the New Testament, at the time of the Apostles and Prophets. The Old Testament saints caught a glimpse of such things, but only later did the picture become clear.

Some people will push you far away from Yahweh, while others will push you nearer to Yahweh. Choose your friends wisely.

If we are in Messiah, we are not guests or outcasts, we are citizens of heaven, right along with our brother Yeshua. This status is available to anyone who places their faith in the cornerstone that Yahweh laid.

Galatians 2:17-21 // Yahweh's law is perfect. Yahweh's law is good. There is nothing wrong with Yahweh's law - AT ALL - but... Yahweh's law was not designed by Yahweh to be an instrument of justification. Yahweh's law was not designed by Yahweh to remove sin. If we try to use the law in a way it is not designed to be used, we are making void the grace of Yahweh.

Galatians 2:15-16 // When all the dust settles, Judahite-Israelites by birth are just as much sinners as Gentiles. No man is declared justified (acquitted) by the works of the law, because no man is complete in Torah.
