Episode 276: Why evangelize if God elects those who will believe? Part 2
Hello everyone. Tonight we take a break from our series "The New Birth" to address a question that is commonly asked. What is that question?
The question to which I am referring is this, "Kevin, if God sovereignly elects the people who will be saved, why evangelize? Wouldn't the elect simply come to Christ anyway?
The answer to the second question is simple, no they will not. The answer to the first question will explain why "no" is the answer to the second question.
God's sovereign election plan includes evangelism. 2 Cor. 5:16-21 commands every believer to be ambassadors by evangelizing using only the gospel of Jesus Christ.
The Bible study is 1 hour and 2 minutes in duration. I have created two segments. This is segment 2 of 2 titled "Why evangelize if God elects those who will believe? Part 2"

Episode 274: Everyone was SOLD to the devil into the slavery of sin
Hello everyone. In today's Bible study we continue with our series "What's wrong with everyone?"
Do you know that the Bible teaches that everyone born into this world were SOLD into slavery? Yes, my friend, that is what the scriptures teach and that is not the worst part of being sold into slavery.
The worst part is to whom we were sold. The scriptures teach that Adam, the only man that God directly created out of nothing, sold all of humanity into the slavery of sin then sold us to the devil.
According to the scriptures everyone was born a child of the devil. You may be screaming right about now, "Who? Not me!!! I'm not a child of the devil.
Kevin you cannot call me a child of the devil! I didn't call you a child of the devil, God did.
Are you calling God a liar?
This study is 38 minutes in duration and is titled "Everyone was SOLD to the devil into the slavery of sin."

Hello everyone. In today's Bible study we continue with our series "What's wrong with everyone?"
May I ask you a question? Do you HATE God? No, I'm serious. Do you HATE God?
If your answer is, I don't hate God then I have another question for you. When did you stop hating God?
According to the scriptures, God declares that everyone born into this world, were born haters of God. Why is that? What happened to make all of us haters of God from birth?
Today's study is 28 minutes in duration and is titled "Everyone is BORN a hater of God."

Episode 270: What's wrong with everyone? We need a helper Part 2
Why would Adam, a perfect man, living in a perfect environment, in perfect union and fellowship with the Holy LORD God require a Helper?
Hello everyone. In today's Bible study we take a deeper look at the curse that God declared upon Eve. We also discover that Eve is not the "helper" that God was looking for to assist Adam.
If Eve was not the helper for Adam then who was God looking for? That's a good question. Let's ask God directly and see His answer from the scriptures.

Episode 268: What's wrong with everyone? Conception part 2
Hello everyone. In today's Bible study we continue with the series "What's wrong with everyone?". Today we look at the progression from the introduction, to the curse, now to the conception.
How does the curse which God pronounced upon Eve and passed down upon all women, impact our world today?
May I say that according to the scriptures, that at one point in time the impact of the curse caused God to drown billions of people in the days of Noah.
The seriousness in which we should remember the righteous judgment of the Holy One of Israel by drowning the everyone except eight people should cause each of us to fall upon our faces to cry out in repentance of our own sins.

Episode 266: What's wrong with everyone? The Curse part 2
Hello everyone. In today's Bible study we continue in our series "What's wrong with everyone?". Today we take a look at the creation of mankind and the curse God placed upon the woman.
You may be asking, why just the woman and not the man? Because the curse placed upon the woman is the real problem with mankind. Wait, wait, wait, don't get upset with me, I didn't say that, God did. However, we can rejoice together as the LORD God also brought the solution to the problem through the woman.
The problem and solution is given to us in Genesis 3. There are five specific curses associated with the woman given by God.
Genesis 3:16 To the woman He said: “I will greatly multiply your sorrow and your conception; In pain you shall bring forth children;
Your desire shall be for your husband, and he shall rule over you.”
Let's list them:
1) greatly multiply sorrow
2) greatly multiply conception
3) greatly multiply pain
4) change in desire
5) change in rule or headship
For this study we will only focus on the first three as the 4 & 5 falls under a different study. Here's a hint, the curse has very little to do with pain associated with delivering a child. That part is so minuscule that it is not worth discussing.
Today's study is 1 hour and 8 minutes in duration. I have broken it into two segments. This is segment 2 of 2 titled "What's wrong with everyone? The Curse. Part 2"

Episode 262: Is God fair to cast the sinner into the lake of fire? Part 2
Hello everyone. In today's Bible study we conclude Item 7 Born from Above in our series What is the New Birth.
Today we ask and answer a very interesting question. Is God fair to cast the sinner into the lake of fire?
What say you? Is it fair? Why would a God of love do what seems to us, such a horrible thing?
If it is true that God will cast certain people into a lake of fire then why?
We will answer the questions above based upon our knowledge and perception of God. Do we have the proper knowledge of who God truly is? Is it based solely on what the Scriptures declare or did we form this knowledge based upon what we were taught and our own thoughts and experiences.
If our respective knowledge and understanding of who God is not based solely on what the Scriptures declare then our answers to those serious questions above will be unbiblical therefore incorrect.
Let's make certain that we have a biblical view of the Sovereign LORD God prior to stating who He is and what He is like.

Episode 260: Is it possible for an unbeliever to believe in God? Part 2
Hello everyone. In today's Bible study we continue our series on Born from Above. Today we concentrate on the unbelieving sinner's ability to believe in and receive Christ as Savior and Lord.
Is that possible according to the scriptures? This is where most people go off the track by believing things that the Bible does not teach. As a matter of biblical fact, when the scriptures teaches just the opposite of what they believe, these people actually get upset with you as if you wrote the book.
Nevertheless, we must adhere to sound doctrine, believing only what the scriptures teach. We our beliefs are directly challenged by scriptures then the believer is obligated to believe the scriptures and not what they think, know, or been previously taught. The scriptures are God's word not what we believe about the scriptures.

Episode 258: The Biblical meaning of not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together
We have been told for years that the Bible teach that believers should not forsake assembling together at church. Is that what God was talking about through the writer of Hebrews in chapter 10?
Hebrews 10:25
not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.
What Day? Do you know?
No, that is not the context of the writing. While we should attend the assembly of believers for our respective edification through corporate worship, prayer, Bible study, and fellowship, we should not take God's word out of its context to express a desire outcome.
Hello everyone. In today's Bible study we continue with our series on the New Birth, Born from Above. Today's study will show the transition from the newly created human spirit to the modification of the Believer's behavior in the body.
This transition is the natural progression of the Born Again experience. Salvation through the regeneration of the Holy Spirit, the forgiveness of sins through the blood of Christ, and a renewed godlike manner of thinking called the living way empowered by the Holy Spirit.
What the new birth and the living way does not do is take away the natural consequences of sin which produces death. First the curse on all creation due to Satan's and Adam's sins. Second the curse of futility which literally means decay or the progression of dying. Third the consequences of the corporate and individual sins which everyone sow and reap.
From these things, there is no escape.
Today's Bible study is 1 hour and 13 minutes in duration. I have broken it down into three segments. This is segment 3 of 3 titled "The biblical meaning of not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together."

Second, the Leper and how God declares the Leper is clean from his leprosy. What if all the symptoms and external appearances of leprosy is gone? Is the Leper clean in the eyes of God?
To give some background, the Leper is the sinner. The leprosy is the sinner's acts of sins. The question then becomes what if the sinner stop sinning completely, is the sinner now clean in the eyes of God? Is that what the scriptures teach. This too is explained in the book of Hebrews.
