The history of the United States is one of freedoms. We look at how these were established. This video shows some fundamental truths of our American past and demonstrates that there is a history from the beginning of America as a religious nation and governance. Those who want to keep their freedom as American citizens need to register and vote for the party that is more aligned biblically, which in turn will keep the freedoms our forefathers intended for the nation to exercise.

In this video, pastor Scott begins the subject with the biblical reasons Limited Atonement is not taught in the Scriptures. The theological and historical reasons are discussed, and the false premises along with some objections are presented. This is part 2.

In this video, pastor Scott begins the subject with the biblical reasons Limited Atonement is not taught in the Scriptures. The major biblical references that Calvinist's provide are addressed, and their views stated with each verse. This is part 1.

Paul addresses the legalism that Gnostics (and anyone who falls into that legalistic camp) were attempting to impose on the Colossian church. He shows how Christ's work of redemption was complete and Christians must understand who they are "in Christ" so they can avoid and resist the legalistic tendencies of false teachers. The application of his teaching is not to let anyone bring judgment or condemnation based on requirements in Moses Law - or anything else that would align with that in principle.

Christians that shun politics forget or are ignorant that God put Daniel the prophet in the highest political position possible under pagan regimes. There are too many Christians that are not registered and others that simply do not vote. This privilege we have as Americans was afforded to us by those before us who made the ultimate sacrifice. As a Christian and Army Veteran, I do not take lightly both the privilege and responsibility of voting. In this presentation I have attempted to show how Americans have a responsibility to vote, and Christians especially.

In this teaching, pastor Scott explains what Paul means in Col. 2:8 by examining the context and words.

Pastor Scott interviews Herb Butterworth after his journey across the states to discover first hand the geological observations. The evolutionary community observe the various geological strata as a time scale to fit in with their evolutionary story. Creationists view the strata as the results of Noah's global deluge (worldwide flood). Herb provides his observations in this interview.

In 2 Peter 3:14-18, Peter gives his final application for his letter. These are important words, the last words we have from Peter. The final words of anyone are significant regarding the things they believe are most important, for Peter, it was warning the flock of God about false teaching and how to avoid being led away in error. These final words are also very significant regarding Paul the apostle's writings and the labeling of them as Scripture. It is the perfect ending to a great letter.

Pastor Scott teaches out of Colossians 1 on the verses that teach Christ's preeminence. This position of the Son is based on fact that He created all things visible and invisible. Paul's teaching makes it clear that the Son is the Creator, Redeemer, and Head of the church.

In 2 Peter 3:11-13, Peter begins his application based on what he has just taught his readers. Application to living can only be properly known after there is an understanding of the information presented. Peter and Paul follow a model of informing their readers who they are in Christ and what benefits they have, before moving into application. Too many preachers and Bible teachers jump from verse to application before a proper contextual understanding is established. We can learn a lot from the apostles.

In 2 Peter 3:8-10, Peter continues his rebuttal to the false teachers, showing their position is against Scripture, God's nature, and God's Promise. False teachers are crafty in their reasonings, but will fail in reference to each of these areas when examined. In our current culture, there is a failure to properly examine Bible teachers - or to even examine them at all. We should all be familiar with Peter's perspectives in these verses.

In 2 Peter 3:5-7, Peter gives a rebuttal to the false teachers regarding their mockery. In verses 5-7, Peter uses history as a basis for his refutation. The many evidences discovered correlate to the history that the Bible provides us. Moreover, the Bible itself is a historical document. People need to remember this when approaching this subject.

Pastor Scott Mitchell continues in the NT book of James as he teaches verses 1-6 of chapter 5. These verses must be taken in their context so that the focus remains on those James targets and is not applied wrongly. Certainly a challenging section of scripture - no punches are pulled.

Pastor Scott Mitchell continues in the NT book of James as he teaches the first four verses of chapter 2 (2:1-4), beginning the discussion on the sin of favoritism.

In 2 Peter 3:3-4, Peter provides the motives of the false teachers, which is their conduct. This in turn helps to make sense of their instruction and behavior. Many times the behavior of people is hard to understand, until you know their motives. Peter gives their motives first.

In 2 Peter 3:1-2, Peter reminds his readers for his reason in writing. He establishes the foundation for truth in verse 2 and will build on that in later verses as a contrast to the false teacher's doctrine. A discussion on the truth in general is mentioned in this teaching.

In 2 Peter 2:20-22, Peter explains the personal deterioration of these false teachers. Their beliefs and lifestyle takes a moral toll on these characters. The corrupt minds and practices result in a personal decline and worsening moral state. Peter is very descriptive in speaking of a dog returning to his vomit. Not a flattering picture of a those driven to extort from God's people in hopes of a better life, the opposite is the final result.

In 2 Peter 2:17-19, Peter explains the personal emptiness of these false teachers. They have nothing to give but big words and magnanimous claims. It is important to not be taken in by speech alone, which is used to take advantage of people who lack stability. Wolves can talk like sheep and lure their prey with alluring claims.

In 2 Peter 2:14-16, Peter continues to develop the corruption of these false teachers. Their corrupt character is evident by their behavior. Peter points this out to identify them to believers, since false teachers will worm their way into fellowships of believers to ultimately take advantage of the weaker ones. Wolves can always smell weakness in their prey, it is no different with false teachers. This is part 2 of 2 in this particular section which will cover verses 10-17.

In 2 Peter 2:7-9, Peter explains the deliverance of God for His people by using Lot as the example. Lot is an extreme example of a believer that has compromised his position in the world among the worst example of wickedness. Yet, God shows His faithfulness to deliver His own and judge the wicked. This is a type or example of the removal of the church from the world before God brings executes the final judgment upon the world in the 7 year tribulation period.

Pastor Scott and Herb Butterworth have a discussion on Noah's flood. It has become a topic of contention among many Christians based on the source of their information. Some well known Christian's in the scientific community believe the flood was local, where other scientists that are Christians view it as global. What is the source of their contention? Scott and Herb discuss it.

In 2 Peter 2:4-6, Peter provides three examples of how God judges the wicked, be it angels or men. The discussion is the judgment of fallen angels, Noah's flood and Sodom and Gomorrah. Peter provides the most detailed explanation of false teachers in the Scriptures.
