As we move to the beginning of our Fall 2022 semester at Wilmington Bible College we are excited to grow closer to Christ. The world is waxing worse and worse, but our focus is to be lovers of God. Learning and understanding Bible Doctrine is key to our relationship with God. We no longer view the Scriptures through a lens of Moses, but it is now through a hunger and thirst for righteousness that we can eat supernatural food. Food that nourishes us and moves us to live godly and be a light for those in the world.
2 Timothy 3
Romans 15: 4
Christ is seeking us. When we agree that He is seeking us we take on a new relationship with the God of the universe. Our ear and eye gates are tuned to a new frequency. With Bible College right around the corner we look forward to learning how to channel our attention to Him. To know who it is that created us while we still have time on this earth is invaluable. Seeking Him is not for mere academic reasons, but for personal ones. Listen to how we can seek Jesus more and more in our day to day.
Isaiah 55: 6-7
Heb 2: 9
Rev 2: 29
God calls us out of the world. This is a permanent separation in which we begin to see things fall away and grow strangely dim. In this sanctification process we are thoroughly furnished receiving degrees of light which will be revealed in Heaven. His Holy Spirit teaches us to discern and look at life in different angles in which we were unable to see before. As we trust and live by faith the clearer our path, and the one who has called us out, becomes.
1 Peter 3:15-17
2 Timothy 3: 16 and 4: 1-5
The heart of God must be in the center, not our stuff. Through simple belief we are justified and made complete in God's righteousness. Then as we begin our Sanctification we sense the death of our old self and learn more of His rest and peace. The eternal treasures which we discover from following Jesus. We can't manufacture this on our own. In prayer, bodylife and worship our hunger and desire to keep Christ in the center is ever increasing.
Matthew 6: 21, 25 and 28
Hearing the Word saves our soul and trains us to live practically. It is an attitude of meekness in which God imparts His very nature into our being. The more He is glorified the more our self is emptied. Let us not overthink what is spoken, but rather agree and participate in the mystery God has planned for our lives. Being doers of the word simplifies and satisfies more than we could ever hope or dream.
James 1: 19 - 25
Grace is looking for hungry and committed people. Legalism controls man, but Grace sets us free. Sitting under a Pastor/Teacher and doctrinal bible teaching teaches us how to get out of our own way and step into making faith decisions. Grace develops layers on the inside that conforms us through His Word so we are not paralyzed by sin. Listen, mediate and walk in liberty!
Acts 11: 21-26, 20: 32
In todays podcast we learn how we can easily stray from God if we are looking for contentment in the world. However, fighting the good fight means clinging to the things above, righteousness, love and joy. These things will grow us into what God has promised us to be.
The Holy Spirit is not an event. He is a person. Through our sanctification He leads us and teaches us the things of Christ. Much of Christianity today has become emotionally driven being lead by subjective feelings rather than objective truth. Yet, God is faithful to complete what it is He said He’ll do.
As born again believers we are justified, sanctified and eventually glorified before Christ. Justification and glorification are a one and done step, but what is taking place during our life here while we wait on the Lord? In this session we learn what Christ has done for us positionally and continues to do in our walk with him.
Method of Evangelism. Christ is our friend! The joy of sharing and introducing our friend to others reveals the love of God.
Ambassadors for Christ. Through His righteousness we are approved to share the Love of God.
God have a word to the messenger before delivering the message. John was sent by God to point to Christ. We too are called to be a witness and do greater works than even He. Praise the Lord!
Jesus sent them out two by two. We are stronger together and draw from one another with Christ in the midst. If we fall then we are able to pick one another up. There is power in the body!
Guest visit from Pastor Wright speaks on the work of the Holy Spirit in evangelism. Unfortunately, only half the class was recorded on audio, but the full class is available on our YouTube page.
Evangelism and discipleship. “Do you love me?” “Lord you know all things, you know that I love you.” (John 21:7) Jesus relentlessly pursues each one of us with an unchangeable love. To give ourselves to Him is not always easy, but in the end it’s worth it.
We have the gift, spirit, heart, attitude and mission to reach those who don’t know Christ. We are sealed by the Spirit so we can bless and share with others.
As the days approach we are seeing the schemes of the enemy become more apparent. Drawing near to the body is more important than ever before.
Why should we evangelize? We have the privilege to be used by God. Heaven and Hell are both real. Let’s center our attention on those who God has His eyes on.
The need for sensitive hearing and the process of evangelism. The Holy Spirit is always present and ready. When we go to Him in prayer he will speak.
Leadership and the lost. What is a servant leader? Our Christian faith shows the value of a soul coming to Christ who descended from heaven to serve us. A human can’t show the value of a soul, only Christ can.
Jesus came to seek and save the lost. Now as born again believers we have the blessing to join the 99, but Jesus has yet to stop pursuing His sheep that are still wandering. Praise the Lord for setting us apart and being invited to spend time and get to know more of who He is and what He’s done.
We are all called to share the Gospel. However, too often we can think only certain people are called to be evangelists or equate evangelism to a scheduled event during a week day or on weekends. In this class we open up the thought of evangelism being incorporated into our everyday lifestyle. Is there a bigger concern to God than evangelizing?
"Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee wherever you go."
Joshua 1:9
"Therefore, since Christ suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind, for he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin."
1 Peter 4: 1
