Wimberley Christian Church Broadcasts

How knowing the cultural context changes our interpretation of Scripture, and how many common assumptions and sermon messages have missed the point of Jesus' message.

(there is a short glitch in the audio in minute 3 that lasts about30 seconds) The Holy Spirit Gives Gifts as He wills We are to desire the gifts of the Spirit, especially that we may prophesy. God is the same yesterday, today, and forever. The gifts of the Spirit were not to confirm the scriptures as canon but it expressly says the gifts were given by the Holy Spirit to build up the Body of Christ, the Church

From Isaiah 9, I did a tag-team sermon with Gary Fine on Isaiah's prophesy of Jesus. Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. Isaiah 7:14 To watch the whole sermon, visit: https://wimberleychristianchurch.com/tslr-sermon/christmas-from-gods-view-ta-da/ For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9:6-7

There are 2 types of fear: Fear of the Lord, and Fear of the Devil. Satan's desire is to make you afraid of him and forget about fearing the Lord. The spirit of fear can enter us in many ways. What we watch, through the occult, through witchcraft. But God has not given us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and a sound mind. https://wimberleychristianchurch.com, https://www.scholarscorner.com ( Photo by <a href="https://unsplash.com/@alexagorn?utm_content=creditCopyText&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=unsplash">Alexandra Gorn</a> on <a href="https://unsplash.com/photos/woman-covering-her-face-with-blanket-smuS_jUZa9I?utm_content=creditCopyText&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=unsplash">Unsplash</a>

https://wimberleychristianchurch.com Authority and power come through submission to higher authorities, whether spiritual or natural. Jesus submitted to John at Baptism. Why did he need to do so to "fulfill all righteousness"? How are we to honor one another? What do biblical humility and submission look like? Guest Preacher - Jefferis Peterson, https://www.scholarscorner.com

Link to the Pamphlet on Occult Deliverance: https://www.scholarscorner.com/occult-oppression/ https://wimberleychristianchurch.com The Body of Christ (that means you) has authority to deliver people from demonic bondage. How the devil disarms us...through fear Opening Doors for the evil one to oppress you Signs of oppression: addictions to sex, drugs, alcohol, gambling, fear of the occult, compulsions and uncontrolled anger Unforgiveness - cause and/or result of oppression Getting Back the Key: Renunciation of past occult practices and repentance.

Habakkuk 2:4 "The Righteous Shall Live by his Faithfulness." - Quoted by Paul. In Hebrew, faithfulness means trustworthy or steadfast. It is different from faith. It is being faithful to do what is right and follow the Lord's leading even when you don't have faith to move mountains. https://wimberleychristianchurch.com God uses people who are broken of faith in themselves. Examples: Abraham, David and Peter. (Sound quality is meh... had some echo issues)

Paul was called, Paul was chosen by the will of God. He was chosen against his will. He did not seek, ask, or desire. He was chosen by the Grace of God. In fact, he was radically opposed to God and hated God. He fought God with all his might! https://www.scholarscorner.com/gods-sovereign-call/

Why did Jesus have to be baptized by John? He said, “it is necessary to fulfill all righteousness…” What did Jesus mean by that? Why are there no records of miracles by Jesus as a child? What did it mean for Jesus to be fully human? What does it mean when it says that Jesus “emptied himself… being born in human likeness”? https://www.scholarscorner.com/jesus/

https://wimberleychristianchurch.com The Greek word for faith also means to trust. Trust is a word that better conveys the meaning of faith, as trust is a word of relationship to another. Faith can be an abstract word as if it is some kind of power or ability unrelated to the God the Father, but possessed by one's own will and strength. Jesus had an unbroken trust in His Father. He never doubted. Out of his perfect trust in the Father, his righteousness was revealed.
