The Seven Churches named in the Book of Revelation are prophetic eras as predicted by the head of the Church Jesus Christ. Each one would have certain characteristics and challenges to face. They range from the first era, Ephesus, when the Apostles lived, all the way to Laodecia, which would be active at Christ's return.
Steve Sheppherd from www.iPhonePreacher.com cover this subject.
Everything is geared towards the Last Great Day which pictures the resurrection of all mankind with the Book of Life being opened, the devil banned and, for the first time people really learning the truth about God and his plan for their salvation.
Having the Passover is like eating a meal with Christ. It is far from being an “old testament” festival but is rich with meaning for the Christian.
It shows the intimate relationship Christ desires and how we are to become one with God.
This book of the bible comes alive now that we understand the old and new covenants. Since it’s an administration change we can understand why Paul covered the subjects he did with the Hebrews. They would no longer as a nation be in charge of the covenant. God would be.
The story of Joseph is the story of salvation. It foretells how Christ would be betrayed, sold and killed. But also how he would return and be put over all things under God. It’s an interesting story especially to see the repentance of Joseph’s brothers.
Let travel back to the role of the High Priest. Did Adam need a High Priest. How about the Fathers? How did Aaron get the job. Who was Melchizideck and why is there so much time discussing him in Hebrews if we are a “new covenant” church? We hope to get a better idea of the role of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
How the necessary holy days are mentioned in the Garden of Eden and how by being At-one-ment with God we defeat Satan. It shows the connection between being married to God at the resurrection and being “At-one-ment”. That it is through being at one that we conquer the devil.
A Pentecost Sermon. Jesus is called the firstborn of many brethern. Pentecost is properly called “Feast of the Firstfruits”. By looking at the Reproduction process we will understand how that process pictures salvation and how essential the Holy Spirit is to us becoming “sons of God”.
After going through the covenant material this sermon shows just how understanding the covenant is the only way you can understand the Bible. It is a vital key. Scriptures will come alive with fresh and deeper meaning proving again that every word is inspired and for our admonition.
Two part Sermon given during the Days of Unleavened Bread showing how the Holy Days outline the TIME line of God’s plan for mankind.
Most churches have no problem understanding the plan of God from the Holy Days that have occured. However the future is lost to their understanding for they don’t look to the one that have yet to be fulfilled for answers.
Learn how the first order of business with God when he calls someone is to introduce them to the Sabbath and Holy Days. This was true from Adam through the Fathers and prophets. Since these days teach us the plan of God it is reasonable that you will find them being taught long before Mt.Sinai by God to his people. They were to teach their children but in the new covenant God ultimately does that job.
Inside of the Sabbath you can find the holy days and the plan of God completely laid out for his children. It was made for man and is a weekly reminder of the creation, the fall and salvation of man, the future 1000 year rest or Millennium, the rest the creation will experience and finally the “day of the Lord” or the day without end. Truly a remarkable set of teachings wrapped up in our gift from our Father, the Sabbath. Remember to keep it holy.
One of the most exciting holy days has the answer. It’s call Days of Unleavened Bread and there was a ceremony to be performed on the morning after the Sabbath following the Passover. A hand full of grain to be waved before the Lord to be accepted in place of the rest of the harvest. Jesus, the first of the first-fruits had to wait for the exact time as foretold in the holy days to ascend to the Father. That’s why he said not to touch him for he hadn’t done so though the grave was empty since before daylight.
Many look at “Easter” as summing up the plan of God however it is the Passover that makes the rest of God’s plan for mankind possible. It is just the beginning though. Take a journey through the Passover and how it brings us to a family relationship with our Creator.
Contrary to most teachings Adam didn’t know about the tree of life. He would have taken it in the course of doing his work and could have remained in the Garden as long as he didn’t take of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil.
A four part series that shows why it’s called the feast of Trumpets (plural) and that it pictures the Day of the Lord and return of Jesus Christ. By following the timeline and the fact that there are SEVEN trumps we learn that Christ can’t come back without plenty of warning, both to us and the world.
