The Bible in 3D

This is episode 8 of our first series. Last time we saw that Biblical worship is very different from contemporary 21st Century Church worship. Biblical worship involved offering your body as a living sacrifice, as a slave to God. Today we are going to look as some Biblical examples of the Slaves of God. I have to warn you, it’s not pretty. The slaves of God in Scripture did not act because they "f...

This is episode 7 of our first series.  Last time we saw that the only way to show our love for Jesus was to obey his commands, and if we did not obey his commands, we were demonstrating that we did not love him. Perhaps we are not always obeying the commands of Jesus, but what about worship? Do we not show our love for God through our worship? Some have said that God wants our worship more than o...

This is episode 6 of our first series. Last time we talked about how important it is to obey the commands of Jesus. Now you may say: “Well, I don’t always obey Jesus as well as I should, but I “love” Jesus.” But can we love Jesus if we do not obey his commands? On that subject Jesus was very clear, If you love me, you will obey what I command. John 14:15. Whoever has my commands an obeys them, he...

This is episode 5 of our first series. Last time we saw how the Followers-of-Jesus have very specific commands that they must follow. That was certainly not a complete list, but it was a short list of what the Apostles who wrote the New Testament Epistles emphasized to the early Christian churches. Today we are going to look at Jesus teaching on who is a good and faithful slave and who is a lazy a...

This is episode 4 of our first series.  Last time we saw how the Followers-of-Jesus must continually work to serve God and not to serve sin.  Specifically, this work is to separate themselves from sin and not to do sinful things and instead to embrace Christ and to do the works of God.  The rub here is that without active participation on our part, the default position is that we always fall back...

This is episode 3 of our first series.  Last time we saw how “disciples” were learners, and that mature Followers of Jesus are called not only to learn but also to be the Slaves-of-God.  Slaves of God are actively doing the will of their master.  Today we are going to learn that everyone is a slave, the question is simply whose slave are you? Born is the USA! I am free!! I am slave to no man!!! We...

This is episode 2 of our Bible in 3D Series.  Last time we saw how the Followers-of-Jesus are called to be the Slaves-of-God.  Today we are going to see how being a Slave-of-God is more than being a disciple, because a disciple is a learner, and a slave-of-God is a doer, one who acts. In the New Testament, the word mathetes is only used in the Gospels and the Book of Acts. Acts 21:16 is the last t...

The Apostle Paul said in his letters that he was a doulos (hereinafter “slave”) of Jesus Christ. Romans 1:1; Philippians 1:1; Galatians 1:10; and Titus 1:1. Paul tells the Christians in Rome that they had become Slaves-of-God . Romans 6:22. Paul tells the Christians in Corinth that even though they were freemen of Rome, once they accepted Christ that they were now Slaves-of-Christ . 1 Corinthians...
