The Reality of the Body of Christ
-new 2/2012
The keynote message of the revelation Paul
received from God. The church is not an organization or a
building. The church is the people of God united by the Spirit and
gathering together in Jesus' name. These 14 scriptures provide the
New Testament overview of Paul's teaching on the Body of Christ.

listen to the audio message that these notes go with,
Are Christians Still Under the law?
This is a hot topic today. One of the areas that Christians seem to
have a struggle with is how to relate to the Old Testament. We know the
Old Testament seems to be very different from the New Testament. Some
would say today that you have to keep the law and follow the Old
Testament in all it's moral and ritualistic requirements. Others say the Old
Testament
is not for today and simply ignore it. Is there real Biblical ground we
can walk on? In this series I deal with nearly every passage in the New
Testament that discusses Law and Grace. I believe it will settle some
issues and strengthen your faith.
One New Man: The
Mystery of the Church and Israel
Another hotly debated topic in Christian circles. Who are God's
chosen people? This study looks specifically at what Paul called,
"the mystery of Jews and Gentiles. A thorough New Testament
examination of the subject. Much false doctrine has resulted from
the Church failing to get this one foundational truth. It is not
Israel or the Gentiles, God created ONE NEW MAN in Jesus.
Great Grace
Grace is usually define as "unmerited favor," but there is more to grace
than this. In the study Steve looks at the two meanings of grace, the
application of grace and the appropriation of grace.
First 100 Years of Church History
An overview of the first century of Christianity with a look at some
foundational beliefs and practices that caused the first Christians to
"turn the world upside down."
The Lost Art of Servanthood
One of the primary identities of the Christian is as a servant to God,
yet we hear so little about authentic Biblical servanthood in messages
today. You're more likely to find a sermon on being a King than on
being a servant. Good stuff
How to Study the Bible: Types and Shadows
The Bible is written with at least four levels of understanding.
One level is the picture messages God "coded" into the Bible through the
use of types, shadows, parables, figures, allegories and the use of
numbers. this study defines each area of "coding" and how to get
the most from your Bible study.
Have You checked Your Heart Lately?
Someone once said, "the heart of the issue is the issue of the heart."
this study looks at what the Bible says about our hearts.
The Blood of Jesus: Our Greatest Spiritual Weapon
This study looks at 13 things the Bible says the blood of Jesus does for
us. A great weapon with which to defeat the enemy.
Revelation 12:11 says: "And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb,
and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto
the death." Here's a check list to keep close at hand.
Ears to hear! Developing
Spiritual Hearing
Jesus told His disciples that they would "hear His voice." He also
told them to take heed WHAT they heard and HOW they heard. God told the
OT Israelites that they needed there "ears circumcised." (A
related audio message)
Devotion or Devotions
How to study the Bible.
Devotion is the internal commitment to a person or ideal,
while devotions are an external act that may or may not reflect
devotion. You can have devotions without having devotion since it is
much easier to read a book or say a prayer then to live according to the
principles espoused in them.
