Pastor John Dunning of Sopchoppy, Florida - Spirit-Filled Teaching From the Wonderful Words of Life Radio Broadcast

In this session, we are going to look at relationships with our adversaries, as well as our friends. In Luke 10:25-42, The Lord Jesus shows us how we are to treat those who oppose us, as well, how we treat our friends when they become contentious, or have a difference of opinion with us.

In this study, we are going to look at 3 areas of the Ministry of the Lord Jesus in relation to discipleship. (1). What Jesus said about the 'Cost of Discipleship'; (2) What Jesus said about the 'Reward of Discipleship'; and (3) What Jesus said about 'Victory over the Powers of Darkness'. We will be looking into Luke 9:51 - 10:1-24.

What are the qualities of a good shepherd? In John Chapter 10, Jesus speaks a parable concerning what the qualities of a good shepherd are. He is speaking of Himself of course, but we can also understand that the qualities Jesus speaks of Himself will also be present in the under-shepherds of the flock of God. Chapter 10 gives to us 7 qualities of the good shepherd.

There were '7' instances where Jesus healed on the Sabbath Day. John chapter 9 records the 5th instance of Jesus' sabbath healings; the man healed who was born blind. '7' is the number of 'perfection' or 'completion', and the number '5' is the number of 'grace'. God is willing to open blinded eyes. Not only was the man who was born blind received his sight; the Lord Jesus also opened the 'eyes of...

In John Chapter 8 there are two principles the Lord Jesus teaches us. (1). We are not to judge others after the flesh, but if we do, we must make sure our judgment is according to truth 'with' mercy, not condemnation. (2). It is vital to know 'the' truth; that truth is in Jesus to whom we have received as Savior, and to Whom we abide and remain. We are responsible for the truth and we are not to f...

Jesus made 7 statements in John Chapter 7. The number '7' is a biblical number which implies 'perfection' or 'completion'. As we look over these seven statements, there is a message we are to glean from them. And, incidentally, Jesus, seven times, describes Himself or His work with the phrase, :I am'; this is another indication of what Jesus stated in this chapter should not be overlooked.

What is Christian Ethics? To me, Christian Ethics is the commands and teachings of the Lord Jesus as to how we are to treat our brothers and sisters in Christ, and of how we are to behave in this world. In Matthew Chapter 18 The Lord Jesus teaches us how to do this, and what His demands are upon us as we deal with fellow believers. We are not perfect. Actually, we are infants when it comes to unde...

Do you have power in your life? Are you born again and filled with God's Spirit but still lack the many things God says you can have? Are you asking yourself, 'What is it about me that I can't seem to get over or get through the troubles that keep bothering me?' Much of the time, we seem to go in circles, repeating a cycle that always brings us to the place where we first began. Do we want to brea...

In this session we will look into how the Lord Jesus ministered to a woman who resided outside of the covenants of Israel, and we will look at what Jesus described as the Leaven of the Pharisees and the Leaven of Herod.

In this session we will look into how the Lord Jesus ministered to a woman who resided outside of the covenants of Israel, and we will look at what Jesus described as the Leaven of the Pharisees and the Leaven of Herod.

In this session we will be looking at Mark 7:1-23, which records the parable of the Lord Jesus regarding 'What Defiles a Man'; that it is not the food that goes into a man through the mouth, but it is that which comes out of the man; that which comes from the heart, that is what defiles him. And Jesus lists thirteen conditions of the depraved heart that defiles a man. It is these depravities that...

Our study will be found in John 6:30-59 and this session is entitled "The Father's Gift". If you have come to Christ and have received New Birth, it is because you yielded to the Gospel message of Jesus Christ, and God, the Father, gave you as a gift to His Son, who is now your Lord and Savior. You and I can rejoice today because the love of the Father and of the Son won us over to Him and, throug...

In this session, we will continue our study of the life of Jesus with Mark's record of the Lord's astounding miracles and power he did. What is the purpose of miracles? Miracles are meant to spectacularly draw men to faith in the Savior, so that men, through humbling, repentance and faith, will receive the salvation and everlasting life God, the Father, offers to every man through His Son, the Lor...

In this session we will be covering the tragedy of Herod and the miraculous power of Jesus in feeding the 5000 and walking on the waters of Galilee. Both of these miracles should have proved to the disciples without question that Jesus is God manifested in the flesh but they didn't, why? The things of God must be spiritually discerned. Do you have the Discerner in you in the Person of Jesus Christ...

In this session we will temporarily leave the working of miracles of the Lord Jesus and look at a discourse the Lord gave to the Twelve before He sent them to preach in the region of Galilee. We can also be instructed and learn from this same discourse concerning our mission in the world. The Lord Jesus has granted to every believer, through the Holy Spirit, certain gifts and abilities by which th...

This session will be a 'Study in Contrast'. We will be comparing the steps the Woman with the Issue of Blood took to receive her healing from the Lord Jesus and contrasting her faith to the gross unbelief of the men of Nazareth when he visited His hometown for the second time. If we follow the faith of the woman with the issue of blood, there is no reason why we can not receive the same results sh...

In this session we will look at different methods Jesus used to get people healed. There is the account in the Bible of the Woman with the Issue of blood, and the account of the lame man lying beside the Pool of Bethesda. The woman was healed by an action of faith in Jesus, while the lame man was completely at the mercy of God's sovereign power and will. Which do you think is the greater method to...

In this session we will look at three outstanding miracles of the Lord - Jesus stilling the tempest; the deliverance of the madman of Gadara; and the healing and raising of the daughter of Jairus. All three of these miracles are power-packed and full of revelation and encouragement to every believer, that what Jesus did, He has given us the power to do if we will believe!

In this session we will complete our study of the Parables of the Lord Jesus that is found in Matthew Chapter 13. All of these parables have one central truth and guess what? you are found in them! Yes, you are, and, as a matter of fact, every human being born into this world is found in them also. Jesus loves you and wants you to understand where you stand in this world concerning His Kingdom. He...

Do you have the Mind of Christ? If you are born again, you have. In virtue of receiving the Lord Jesus Christ as your Savior and Lord, God has granted you to know the 'mysteries of the Kingdom', but, as with all positional truth, faith and prayer is required on our part, along with the desire to know more about the Savior, to receive those things the Lord has freely given unto us. This study cover...

The purpose of these studies in the Life of the Lord Jesus is for God to reveal Himself to us in a deeper and more intimate way. I want to know more intimately the Savior, don't you? In this session we will complete our study of Matthew Chapter 12. Jesus is in the midst of his 'Busy Day', as the scholars call it, but it is just one day that characterizes the entire ministry of the Lord Jesus. He t...

In this session we will continue our study of the Person of the Lord Jesus Christ and how He ministered and how he was able to minister even when he was facing hostile opposition. How many times have we backed down from our mission when opposition arose from leaders or from fellows we had put our trust in? Yet we knew what the Lord placed upon our heart to do was his will, and yet, we bowed to opp...

In this session we will embark upon the study of Matthew Chapters 11 and 12. And we will see a remarkable understanding of the Person of the Lord Jesus unlike that which is preached of Him behind many pulpits in this country.
