In Genesis 22:1, 2 we are told that God "tempted" Abraham when He asked him to perform a pagan ritual by sacrificing his son, Isaac. Yet, it was a ritual that God expresses hatred towards in other parts of scripture (Lev. 18:21; 20:2-4; Deut. 12:31; 2 Kings 21:6; Jer. 7:31; 19:5; 32:35; Eze. 20:31). Sadly, this has left some to question the loving character of God and others to use this passage as justification for murder. In this three part teaching series, we will study the narrative very carefully and discover that God never told Abraham to slay his son nor did He tell him to burn him as a sacrifice. We will also see that Abraham himself misunderstood God's command to him. Visit www.vindicatinggod.org for more information. Please subscribe to our YouTube channel.

Matthew 12:36 says, "every useless expression that men shall utter, they shall render, concerning it, an account, in a day of judgment" (Rotherham’s Emphasized Bible). In this lesson we will delve into part 2 of the useless expression, "God is in Control." In this lesson we will learn how God has limited Himself by giving man complete freedom to accept or reject His will. We will learn how man canpartner with God for blessing or oppose Him and prevent His blessing. For more teaching visit us at www.cvbibleteachingcenter.org.

God refers to Himself as "jealous" in several parts of Scripture (Ex. 20:5; 34:14; Deut. 4:24; 5:9; 6:15; 29:20; 32:16, 21; Josh. 24:19; Ps. 78:58; 79:5; Eze. 16:42; 23:25; 36:5, 6; 38:19; 39:25; Nah. 1:2; Joel 2:18; Zeph. 1:18; 3:8; Zech. 1:14; 8:2; 1 Cor. 10:22). "Jealousy" usually denotes resentment towards another (usually a rival) due to their success or fears of their unfaithfulness. Is this what is meant by God being jealous? In this teaching, you will learn about the PASSIONATE LOVE of a holy God who cares deeply for you. For more Bible studies, visit us at vindicatinggod.org

In these lessons we will study the Biblical truth about Christ's deity. Apart from fully comprehending that Jesus is God Himself, and is the God of the Old Testament as well as the New, then there can be no true affirmation God's character as one of loving, kind and benevolent since Jesus represents al that God is. Jesus cannot be a true representation of all that God is unless He is actually God. Don't forget to leave a "like," share the video and SUBSCRIBE.

Jeremiah 9:24 says, "c. But let him who glories glory in this: that he understands and knows Me [personally and practically, directly discerning and recognizing My character]" (Amplified Bible). One's character pertains to one's personality, nature or moral qualities: the thing that distinguishes this person from others. What a person is like? How they respond to certain situations, and how they treat others. Some claim that we could never fully know or understand God, yet God says that this is what He wants from us. In this series of teachings, Pastor Troy J. Edwards shows us that not only can we know and understand God, but it is vitally important that we do.

The shining of God's face upon His people is a metaphor of His favor, blessing, and protection. However, when God's people persist in sin then they often suffer numerous negative circumstances such as sickness, defeat, and poverty. In Scripture God is often credited as inflicting it but the underlying principle taught in the Bible is that God does the "inflicting" by HIDING HIS FACE. The hiding of God's face is the removal of that favor, blessing and protection that He once bestowed, thus permitting people to suffer the forces of darkness. In this teaching learn to understand more about how to avoid God's hidden face and to have His face constantly shining upon you.

Most of us thought of the late Apostle Frederick K. C. Price as primarily a gifted teacher on the "faith principles" of the Scriptures. What most may not fully recognize is that the foundation of Apostle Price's message was a true understanding of God's loving character. In this tribute to one of God's greatest servants in our generation, Pastor Troy J. Edwards shows us how Dr. Price helped us to understand that one's faith is no stronger than one’s understanding of God’s character and nature. Failure to understand this truth about God leads, not to faith, but fatalism. We will learn how Dr. Price taught a generation of Christians how to fight the good fight of faith (1 Timothy 6:12)

Despite all of the wonderful teaching on faith over the past century, many of God’s people are still ignorant of some basic truths. One of those truths is thanking God for answered prayer BEFORE you see the actual answer. In this teaching, Pastor Troy J. Edwards helps us discover the authority God gives us as we are thankful to Him for answers by faith and not by sight. Visit us at www.cvbibleteachingcenter.org for more teaching.

If we believe that God has personally sent any type of sickness in the form of a virus or plague then not only are we likely to take a passive attitude towards it, but we will not accept God’s protection and healing. In this teaching, Pastor Troy Edwards will show you that the Bible makes it clear that Satan is the originator of sickness, disease, and viruses. You can also download the notes/outline from our web pages in the links below: http://www.cvbibleteachingcenter.org/outlines/Sickness%20from%20Satan.pdf

The Bible states that both God and Satan have "works" in the earth and carefully distinguishes between the two different types of works. Because many Christians do not study this truth carefully God often gets the blame for Satan's works (and sometimes, Satan is credited with God's works). In this teaching we will learn the motives for each one working in the earth. You will discover that God works in the earth for benevolent reasons in order to win men while Satan's goal is the destruction of all mankind. For more teaching visit us at www.vindicatinggod.org.

Many people are conflicted by the fact that God is good and all-powerful but there remains so much evil in the earth. When we study Scripture and see how both God and Satan operates in the earth this will remove all confusion and helps us to understand why God cannot use His omnipotent power to wipe away evil at this time.

In Deuteronomy 32:39 God said, "I kill, and I make alive." This has perplexed some who do not see God as a life-taker but it has also given support others who promote the idea that God personally dispenses sickness, death, and tragedy. In this study we will examine the passage in its surrounding context and in connection with Biblical passages and see that Deuetronomy 32:39 is not a statement in which God declares to personally take lives but that, when we have removed ourselves from under His protection, He cannot prevent our being killed by those forces that already desire to take our lives.

In 2 Chronicles 7:13 God said, ".... if I send pestilence among my people." This has led some to believe that God personally dispenses sickness, death, and tragedy. In this study we will examine this and other Bible passages in their surrounding context and we will learn that God hates sickness and He no more "sends" it in the literal sense than He "sends" sin. We also encourage you to get our newly revised book, "Does God Send Sickness: Vindicating God's Character Concerning Sickness and Disease. Visit vindicatinggod.org for more details.

We live in a sin-stained world which naturally gears itself towards negativity. Our behavior and talking is often full of negativity and defeat. God, on the other hand, is a very confident God, which means that He is very positive. He speaks and gets positive results. Since we were made in His image and likeness, we need to act like Him. In this series of teachings we will learn just how to do that. Visit us at www.cvbibleteachingcenter.org for more powerful teachings from the Bible.
