Rightly Dividing the Word of Truth

BEST OF: Paul / KJB / and the Risen Saviour: Better Than the Lord’s Supper

Wednesday Evening Note from Pastor Mike: One of the biggest questions and concerns people have towards us here in Touchet is, “Why don’t you do the Lord’s Supper / Communion?“ Here are the details showing that ‘Communion’ was for the Jews – even during Paul’s time and is not to the Gentiles today. In fact, there are 2 other reasons that will show you...

Words of Jeremiah For Us Today (Part V)

Sunday Morning Chapters 12-15 Good-for-nothing Jews in the OT and good-for-nothing Christians today. Did you ever want to ask God, “Why are things going the way they are for me when I am trying to live in a manner that pleases you?” Jeremiah asked God that very question – listen to the answer – plus more from chapters 12-15. pp_flashembed( 'powerpress_player_2506', {src:...

Words of Jeremiah For Us Today (Part III)

Sunday Evening Chapters 6-9 Today, are we following the same pattern as did the Jews in the OT? It sure seems like it – listen to Jeremiah and see if his preaching to the Jews is pretty much the same message we have to the Gentiles today – with the exception of todays’ gospel of God’s goodness and longsuffering and grace taking the place of God’s wrath – until the...

Jason on I Peter

Sunday Afternoon How could anyone not realize that I Peter is written TO the Jews and not TO us today? Here are a few comments and observations from reading through I Peter 1. pp_flashembed( 'powerpress_player_2510', {src: 'http://rightlydivide.info/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/powerpress/FlowPlayerClassic.swf', width: 480, height: 24, wmode: 'transparent' }, {config: { autoPlay: false, autoBuffering:...

Is Following “Paul Only” Another Form of Bondage?

Sunday Evening Does trying to follow Paul’s teachings of the Risen Saviour actually put us into more bondage than when we tried to follow Jesus’ teachings to the Jews? Do people really think such a thing? Who are to be our ensamples for us to mark and follow today – OT “heroes of the faith?” Is speaking with ‘final Biblical authority’ a thing of the past? Dare...

The Sermon on the Mount More Perfectly (Part XVIb)

Sunday Morning Matthew 6:22-34 Take no thought for our life, eat, drink, clothes, today? I couldn’t get it all done in the SS hour, so we continue & finish into this portion of our morning. We start this with what does the Risen Saviour say to us through Paul about whether or not we should take no thought about our life, eat, drink, clothes, etc. today! We even touch on the opportunity...

The Sermon on the Mount More Perfectly (Part XVIa)

Sunday School Matthew 6:22-34 Take no thought for our life, eat, drink, clothes, today? Jesus tells everyone who wants to follow him to sell all – and not to worry about anything – that God will provide. Is that true today? Was he just talking to HIS Jews then? What does the Risen Jesus Christ teach us today? NOTE: This is a two-part sermon – part II follows in the regular service. pp_flashembed( 'powerpress_player_2515', {src:...

The Sermon on the Mount More Perfectly (Part XIV)

Sunday School Matthew 6:15-18 Fasting Do we have to fast for when times get tough, etc.? What does fasting even mean? Is what Jesus told the apostles and Jews the same that He has taught to us through Paul? Does your Christian daily walk look like a painful fast to others? Do you want to go on a ‘fast?’ Here are some thoughts for you to consider! pp_flashembed( 'powerpress_player_2517', {src:...

The Sermon on the Mount More Perfectly (Part VIII)

Wednesday Evening Matthew 5:14-16 The light of the world today? Who or What is the light of the world today? Is it Jesus Christ? What did Jesus mean when he said, “As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world“? Knowing that Jesus is no longer in the world, who / what is the light? Is it the Gospel Jesus, Jews, any modern Bible, King James Bible, people’s good works,...

The Sermon on the Mount More Perfectly (Part III)

Wednesday Evening Matthew 5:7-9 We continue by looking through more Beatitudes, looking at verses 7,8 and 9 Must we show mercy in order to receive mercy today? Does keeping peace in the world / home / community, etc. actually make us a Christian? Must we make a pure heart BEFORE we can ‘see’ God? We can certainly see that the Risen Christ taught ‘more’ to the Christian today...
