In this brief excerpt from the course, Grace, Not Law: Galatians, Dr. Barber discusses how adding any works – of the flesh and/or of the law – to Jesus' finished work on the Cross, is to claim that Jesus and His Cross are insufficient, are not enough. No, the Gospel truth is that Jesus and what He did at the Cross are indeed enough. He completed the once for all work of salvation there. And God's requirement for our salvation and security in Jesus forever is simply and solely faith in Jesus and what He has already done for us. Amen. Have you trusted in Jesus, thus becoming a member of Him, with His righteousness and life and freedom imputed to you, instead of your sins that once imprisoned and condemned you to eternal damnation?

In this brief excerpt from the course, Creation, Science and Faith, Dr. Barber discusses why there is suffering and death. This critical problem we all face can only be answered and understood by means of God's revelation, beginning in Genesis 1–11. Many people reject the God of the Bible and the Gospel message because they blame God for all the suffering and death in the world. But is God responsible? Is He the one at fault? Our Creator God tells us in His Book the truth of the matter. We can know the truth only on the basis of the Bible. Come and discover reality as revealed only by our God.

In this brief excerpt from the course, Intro to the Bible and Theology, Dr. Barber discusses how during the Protestant Reformation of the Body of Christ, which occurred just over 500 years ago, the Holy Spirit led Christians to return to the universal and final authority of God's Word, the Bible.

In this brief excerpt from the course, Jesus and Myth, Dr. Barber discusses how, in Mark 7:1–37, we see how Jesus donates correction of terrible mistakes by the leaders of Israel, who have been abusing God's Word, Moses' Law, by making the traditions of men of greater authority than God's Word. Israel's leadership has the opportunity to receive their Messiah-King's correction, and thus become faithful to the LORD's Word, but they refuse. As Jesus leaves Israel for a spell, to create distance and diffuse the scandal of Israel's leaders, a Gentile woman comes to Jesus to ask Him to cast a demon out of her daughter. Jesus demonstrates His identity as the Almighty Creator God in that encounter, while teaching critical dispensational truth. Are you trusting today in the one true God, who also took on flesh and dwelt among us, our LORD Jesus Christ? For more: www.togetherinchristu.com

In this brief excerpt from the course, Grace, Not Law: Galatians, Dr. Barber discusses where we all are in history, in the process of time created, purposed, and governed by our Creator God, our LORD Jesus Christ. Do you know where we are in the unfolding of world history? At the same time, we discover just who we are, as Christians (all those who have received God's free gift by faith alone in Jesus alone), members of Jesus' Mystery Body. Have you trusted in Jesus, thus becoming a member of Him, with His righteousness and life and freedom imputed to you, instead of your sins that once imprisoned and condemned you to eternal damnation?

In this brief excerpt from the course, Creation, Science and Faith, Dr. Barber discusses how we're all sinners who sin, just like our first father and mother, Adam and Eve, who are the first sinners. The world's authorities today tell us that human beings are not sinners who sin, but that we're all basically good people who just make mistakes sometimes. Is that true? Our Creator God tells us in His Book the truth of the matter. We can know the truth only on the basis of the Bible. Come and discover reality as revealed only by our God.

In this brief excerpt from the course, Jesus and Myth, Dr. Barber discusses how, in Mark 6:1–56, we see how Jesus donates healing of all diseases to those who believe, while John the Baptist is scapegoated and murdered by lawless leaders. At the same time, Jesus donates miraculous divine power to His disciples, and send them out in pairs to donate healing, exorcism, and the counsel of God concerning the Gospel of the Kingdom to Israel. Jesus then miraculously feeds more than 5000 thousand people, and walks on water! In all of this, Jesus is demonstrating beyond any doubt that He is the One true Creator God, the LORD, who alone has all power and authority over all things. Are you trusting today in the one true God, who also took on flesh and dwelt among us, our LORD Jesus Christ? For more: www.togetherinchristu.com

In this brief excerpt from the course, Grace, Not Law: Galatians, Dr. Barber discusses how by faith alone, a sinner becomes a member of Jesus, IN Jesus Christ's own Body. Because of this spiritual resurrection into the Living One, the Seed of Abraham, the Son of Sarah, the Christian is also a Child of Sarah the Free. Meanwhile, he/she who attempts to be righteous before God by his/her own effort in his/her sinful flesh, is a Child of Hagar the Slave, and is in bondage to the Law that can only enslave, condemn, and destroy. Have you trusted in Jesus, thus becoming a member of Him, with His righteousness and life and freedom imputed to you? Or are you attempting to please God in the vain effort of your own sinful flesh?

In this brief excerpt from the course, Creation, Science and Faith, Dr. Barber discusses how God created Adam's race, and every member of it, with a moral conscience, knowing right from wrong in our heart of hearts. The world's authorities today tell us that right and wrong are not real, just human social constructs, just subjective. Is that true? Our Creator God tells us in His Book the truth of the matter. We can know the truth only on the basis of the Bible. Come and discover reality as revealed only by our God. For more: www.togetherinchristu.com

In this brief excerpt from the course, Jesus and Myth, Dr. Barber discusses how, in Mark 5:1–43, Jesus donates freedom from demons, freedom from a world that demonizes us, and healing of diseases from which no physician can save us. In all of this, Jesus is demonstrating beyond any doubt that He is the Creator God, the LORD, who alone has all power and authority over all things.

In this brief excerpt from the course, Grace, Not Law: Galatians, Dr. Barber discusses how Apostle Paul's spiritual children, the new Christians at Galatia, had turned from their father Paul to legalists, who turned them away from our LORD Jesus' will for Christians, which is to imitate Paul. Apostle Paul desires to be present again with them, to ensure their continued free-grace standing in the truth of the Gospel. Are you standing fast in the grace of Jesus? Or have you turned aside to the false righteousness of fleshly legalism? For more: www.togetherinchristu.com

In this brief excerpt from the course, Jesus and Myth, Dr. Barber discusses how, in Mark 4:1–41, Jesus reveals to the cosmic crowd who will enter into His coming Kingdom on earth. He does this in the form of extended metaphors called parables. In private, to those who have thus far chosen to believe in Him, Jesus explains the meaning of His parables, which is the Mystery of the Kingdom of God, on earth as it is in Heaven, and who will enter into that Kingdom, and who will not. Come and learn from Jesus, as He reveals the Mystery of His coming Kingdom on earth, and who will enter into it. This mystery is a separate mystery from the Mystery Body of Christ, which Jesus would later reveal to His Apostle Paul, of which Mystery we today who believe are members, by faith alone in Christ alone and His finished work on the Cross.

In this brief excerpt from the course, Grace, Not Law: Galatians, Dr. Barber discusses how our Apostle Paul bemoans the new-born Galatian Christians' turn to legalism from God's free grace. A direct result of their turn from the truth to the Law is that they have become cruel, scapegoating the few who remain in the truth of grace, including scapegoating the very man who first brought them the Gospel of Grace, Apostle Paul himself. Are you standing fast in the gracious freedom of Jesus? Or have you lost the blessedness of Jesus by turning to the Law? For more: www.togetherinchristu.com

In this brief excerpt from the course, Jesus and Myth, Dr. Barber discusses how, in Mark 3:7–35, Jesus offers numerous and supernatural donations and wise counsels to the cosmic crowd. Among other things, Jesus thus diffuses the mythological mob's ever-threatening scandal. Yet, 'no good deed goes unpunished.'

In this brief excerpt from the course, Grace, Not Law: Galatians, Dr. Barber discusses our Apostle Paul's deep concern over the Christians at Galatia, who were tempted into returning to slavery to Moses' Law, instead of abiding in Jesus' freedom that He's graciously given us as members of His own Mystery Body. Are you standing fast in the gracious freedom of Jesus? Or are you returning to bondage in legalism? For more: www.togetherinchristu.com

In this brief excerpt from the course, Creation, Science and Faith, Dr. Barber discusses how every Christian doctrine is founded in Genesis 1-11. If these first eleven chapters of the Bible are not literal history, then Christianity has no basis. Yet, we know for certain that Genesis 1-11 are literal history. Do you believe this? Do you believe God? For more: www.togetherinchristu.com

In this brief excerpt from the course, Grace, Not Law: Galatians, Dr. Barber discusses how our LORD Jesus through His Apostle Paul explains that we are not under the Law – that former dispensation – as Jesus was when He came at His first coming. Rather, based on what Jesus achieved at the Cross at that time, He has now begun - in this new dispensation of Grace - freely adopting us as sons of God, in Jesus. Come and be adopted by God as His son, His daughter, in Jesus! For more: www.togetherinchristu.com
