The Roman Epistle to the Church #7 Rom 5: 1-13 Neil Woodbury
In chapter 5 we find the Apostle teaching that: being justified out of faith, we have peace with God through the Lord Jesus Christ. Sometimes I wonder if the world of many Christian people have forgotten these points. 1. Apart from the blood of Christ – men live in war with the God of Heaven – lost! 2. Only through Christ and being born out of above through the will of the Father can anyone truly have peace with God.
I. Glorying in tribulations! a. Read Rom. 5: 3-8 b. Tribulations maketh patience; patience worketh experience; experience, hope maketh not ashamed. All through the Love of God. c. Salvation is offered to the ungodly, NOT on their terms – but through Christ alone and God’s terms of Pardon. God’s love towards mankind.
II. Saved from God’s wrath, through Christ’s blood a. Read Rom. 5: 9-13 b. Only those covered by the Blood of Christ will be saved from God’s wrath; this is the condition of being “In Christ”. c. Joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ!

I. Jesus Rewards the faith of the Centurion a. Read Luke 7: 1-10 b. The Centurion (commander of 100 men) believed Jesus could heal his bondsman with a word (v. 7). How many Jewish people thought the same as the Roman Centurion? c. Read Heb. 11:6; “Without faith, it is impossible to please God” – so why is mankind at war with God? “They don’t believe His Word” II. Jesus has compassion on the mother of the dead son. a. Read Luke 7: 11-17 b. They glorified God – so clearly seen the power of God through Jesus His Son, the Messiah. This is the witness from Heaven.

Hebrews, The Final Remembrance, # 2 Hebrews 11: 1-25 Neil Woodbury

Jesus – High Priest unto the Brethren Neil Woodbury Hebrews 5: 1-14 The New Testament writings declare Jesus Christ as the High Priest of the Assemblies of Christ. And so it is, but to understand and appreciate our High Priest today, one must understand the idea of the High Priest of the First Covenant people. It is clear that God appointed the First High Priest of the Jews – Aaron, a Levite – and His Son Jesus as the Last High Priest unto the brethren of God’s Family.

The Glorious Assemblies of Christ #2,Col. 1: 15-22 Neil Woodbury I will continue with the thoughts of last week by saying: The Assemblies of Christ are Glorious because: 1. Our God is Glorious 2. Our Savior is Glorious 3. Our Doctrine and Principles are Glorious and; All of these Glorious Attributes have come out of Heaven, not from the Religions of Men! I. From God to Men through Jesus Christ. a. Read Col. 1: 15-22 b. So we can proclaim of our God and His Son – they are Glorious! Thus, their Kingdom is Glorious indeed! II. What of our Doctrine? a. From the Lord’s Apostles: Read Eph. 4: 1-8 b. Read Eph. 3: 1-12 What is your conclusion to these words?
The Glorious Assemblies of Christ Neil Woodbury Col. 1: 9-23 Does the world define the Christian Assemblies as “Glorious”? The answer is ‘no’ in my experience! This is not just the shortcomings of unbelievers, but even the Christians themselves do not see the true glorious nature of Christ’s Church. Where this is the case, the assemblies are lacking a full understanding of “The Faith”. I. What our assembly is, as defined by the Apostle Paul. a. Read Col. 1: 9-13 b. The assembly of Christ is not an organization, but the Kingdom of His (God’s) Son. II. The Benefits of the Kingdom a. Read Col. 1: 14 b. In whom; the Christ. III. The Glory of Christ a. Read Col. 1: 15-23

Letters to the Assembly in Corinth #42 Neal Woodbury 1 Cor. 15: 50-58 This section of 1st Cor. 15 is a glimpse into the “Parosia”, the day of the Lord – when resurrection would become a reality for those departed saints of God and the living Apostles.

Chapter 15 of 1st Corinthians is a text book in itself; covering the promised Gospel message to mankind – from the beginning to the culmination of the end of the Age, the revealing of the Kingdom of God – the New Heavens and Earth – the New Jerusalem – the never-ending kingdom. All this we can know, as faith readies our hearts and minds for the Truth.

Letters to the Assembly in Corinth #37 Neal Woodbury 1 Cor 14: 21-40 The Apostles give specific instruction to the assembly in Corinth regarding the use of the spiritual gifts of tongues and prophesy. The Corinthian church needed direction on these topics and many churches today fail to understand or practice the teaching. 1. In the law (Hebrew Scripture) it hath been written: A. Read 1 Cor 14:21-22, Is 28:11-12 B. Understand the content 2. Examples of use and misuse towards the unlearned 1 Cor 14:23-25 A. God’s purpose before the “perfect” was in their hands. 3. In order, in the assembly, are these gifts beneficial. 1 Cor 14: 26-33 A. Final Remarks: Instruction from the Apostle 1 Cor 14:34-40
Letters to the Assembly in Corinth #35, Neal Woodbury 1 Cor 13:1-13 We must allow the Apostles to show us the most excellent way, the truth and the life through the Word of God. 1Cor 12:31, 13:1-12 1. What is the perfect? 1Cor 13: 9-10 A. In part – What in this world is not in part? B. The assembly were “babies in Christ” in Ad 57 2. Illustration of becoming full grown. 1Cor 13: 11-12 A. Hebr 8:13 That what was vanishing away . . . 3. What then was left? 1Cor 13:13
Letters to the Assembly in Corinth #34 Neal Woodbury 1 Cor 13:1-13
Was the “Spiritual Gifts teaching in 1 Cor 13 inserted so that preachers and ministers are able to quote bible verses for weddings, funerals and other social gatherings as some believe? Or is the intended purpose to show that love (agape) is the source of spiritual gifts and without agape-love the possessor of these gifts are useless in their own wellbeing?
- Without love we are nothing. 1Cor 13: 1-3, (Bullingers: “agape”)
- The high calling of “agape” 1Cor 13: 4-8 A. Love is without end in this form “never fails”
- When the perfect (complete) is come, then much will pass away. 1Cor 13: 8-12 A. Perfect-complete-maturity
Letters to the Assembly in Corinth #33, Neal Woodbury 1 Cor 12:14-31
Paul teaches of these Spiritual Gifts in the Assembly with analogies that give us word pictures so we may understand and not lack in knowledge.
- Illustration of healthy body-As it functions as One Body – 1 Cor 12:14-27 A. God has set “the members” as he pleases in perfect order Verse -25
2 Again God’s order His purpose - 1 Cor 12: 28-31, Eph 4:11 (same?) A. Desire “earnestly” the better gifts – to edify the brethren. B. Yet, afar excelling way do I show to you….
Letters to the Assembly in Corinth #32 Neal Woodbury 1 Cor 12:12-31
We must consider these Spiritual Gifts in the Assembly, they came from Heaven and may be removed by the same authority they came from. Not our will but His!
-
An analogy –the Assembly is One Body with many members – 1 Cor 12:12-13
-
Illustrations of how a healthy body will function –being One Body - 1 Cor 14-27 A. God has set the members as he pleases!

Letters to the Assembly in Corinth #28 Neal Woodbury 1 Cor 11:1-9 The Apostles of Christ do not ask the brethren to follow them, be obedient to their teaching, just because of the title they wear – NO!
But as they (the Apostles) are imitators of Christ – so the brethren may become imitators of the Lord’s Apostles.
In Chapter 11 is where we learn of God’s order for all creation. The assemblies of Christ must understand this order to be useful in the Kingdom of God.
- Setting the goal line. 1 Cor 11:1-2
- God’s order, not man’s. 1 Cor 11:3, compare Gal 3:26, Rom 8:14-17
- God’s order of Headship 1 Cor 11:4-9, compare Gen3:16-19

Resurrection Remembrances The last week of Abib (March) A.D. 31, we call it the “Passion Week”, the disciples of Jesus of Nazareth has a very bad week, but after that week was over - the first day of the next week was the best of times, we call that “The Resurrection.” 1. The account of the Resurrection. Lk 24: 1-12 2. Jesus Christ is the resurrection. Jn. 11: 20-27 3. Resurrection is the hope of those in Christ. Rom 6:1-12
The building will not be open to the public due to social distancing requirements 4/5/20 Letter to the Assembly in Corinth 1 Cor. 9:1-14 The apostle Paul now turns to another problem the false teachers questioning his Apostleship. Much like the problems of today when men write religious creeds and impose them on their parishioners, thinking the apostles are gone. But the lord’s Apostles are still with us – on the pages of our Bible – God will not be mocked! 1. Paul a true Apostle! 1 Cor. 9:1-6 2. The qualifications of the Lord’s Apostles/ Acts 1:20-26, Gal 1:23-18, Gal 2:9-10 3. God’s pattern of support for Gospel Preachers 1 Cor. 9:7-14
TalkShoe lesson only, the assembly building remains closed for social distancing concerns. Letter to the Assembly in Corinth 1 Cor 8: 7-13 - Lesson 23 INTRO: In Christ the Christian person is truly freed from the bondage of sin and worldly ties – But as we exercise the liberty we have in Christ we must be aware that we can cause damage to a weaker brother or sister in the Lord. 1. Not all have the same level of knowledge: 2. Let not our knowledge cause us to sin against Christ. 1 Cor 8: 10-12 3. Recognize the strong and weak Christian. 1 Cor 8:13 A. Being uninformed can cause weak faith.
Lesson #22 - 1 Cor 8:1-13, Neil Woodbury Paul addresses questions concerning the eating of meat sacrificed to idols and the truth concerning idols and Christian liberty. 1.

Letter to the Assembly in Corinth #17 1 Cor 5: 1-13 Neil Woodbury The attitude of the Corinthians assembly was one of arrogance and pride in their own abilities. This would lead to their destruction if not corrected. Paul felt a need to correct their lost direction in this letter.
I. Their Pride should have been sadness Cor 5:1-5 A. Sin must be removed from midst B. They were tolerating sin in the assembly but still arrogant C. Deliverer to Adversary
-
A little leaven sports the whole lump 1 Cor 5:6-8 A. Old Testament teaching of Passover

Do not judge another servant but consider their work. 1 Cor 4:1-5 A. Meaning of officer of Christ B. Meaning of Steward of God

Letter to the Assembly in Corinth #14 Neil Woodbury Do Not Go beyond what is written! 1 Cor 4: 5-6
The Statement “Jesus was God,” or “Jesus said He was God” has caused much confusion to those naming Jesus Christ as The Lord and Savior, violating the Apostolic command in 1 Cor 4:5-6. One of the text used as proof is Mark 2: 1-13.
-
Delegated authority (power) is the true teaching A. “Exousia” Greek for delegated authority B. Other passages confirming John 17:2, Matt 28:18, John 5:25-27
