Of Things Eternal: Recent Episodes
Lathan Lightfoot
Leveling up Christian knowledge of Biblical literacy for enhanced discernment of truth from lie, doctrine from deception.
This is a sermon that I was honored and blessed to give at Galveston County Church. Special shout to Pastor Taylor and the GCC family.
I pray it blesses you.
Is Jesus powerful everyday or just some days? Should we trust that He has our best interests in mind, even when life presents challenges that we view as insurmountable? I think the Gospel/Biography of Mark in chapter 6 helps us think through these difficult questions with some resounding answers.
Thanks for joining me.
Welcome and thanks for continuing this journey. David and I keep on with our walk thru the Gospel of John and now encounter THE religious leader of the time, Nicodemus and this fascinating conversation between him and Jesus. What we loved so much about it is.....well, we will tell you.
I pray this blesses you and encourages you to dive into the Bible and get closer to our Father.
We finish up taking the win 2-0, but before we take a victory lap we need to be prepared.
Hi and blessings to you all. We have gotten back to our roots with leveling up the Biblical literacy of the body of Christ. I read a pastor make this questionable claim on social media and could not pass up the opportunity to help all of us equip ourselves with the discernment to correct this false teaching. Walk with me through the 7 woes of Jesus.
Another very difficult conversation, the Irredeemable series tackles the reality of abortion and if that makes someone irredeemable. Thank you so much for spending a moment of your time with me in Scripture to seek Biblical answers to tough questions.
Bless you
David and I continue to expound on John's account of Jesus cleansing the Temple.
"I think it is important to realize when we think about a visual of Jesus, He wasn't the pretty boy love guru with slicked hair and a perfect part down the middle like we see in shows. He was a thirty year old 1st century carpenter who worked in the elements, making his own tools, etc. A more accurate visual of Jesus would be a modern lumberjack."
So glad to begin this new series called, Irredeemable. This is essentially an opportunity for those of us navigating this world filled with difficult and life altering decisions. How do we process these circumstances from a Biblical lens? How do we know we are not irredeemable?
This first part of the series is an encouragement for those of us who have experienced the horrors of divorce, please know that your salvation is not lost. I pray this message blesses you.
Welcome! Today we tackle a familiar passage, but in a way that is accurate and thoughtful so that you will be able to avoid the misuse of it.
We address Jesus flipping over tables in the Temple.
We hope you are blessed by it.
Hey guys! We are ready for chapter 2 in the Gospel of John, and oh boy how rich in theology and symbolism this beginning passage of chapter 2 is. Dave and I are blessed that you would join us on this journey.
We made it!! This episode brings a close to chapter 1 of the Gospel of John. We look at some of the lessons learned from the experience of Philip and Nathanael. Thanks in advance for joining us.
The duo is back and back at it navigating through what we think is a great intro to the account of Jesus' life in the Gospel of John. Please join us and we hope you are blessed.
Thank you for joining me on this journey through the Gospel of John. This week we hear John the Baptist's "voice" and become aware of why he is here.
As promised, we are going to meet some characters in the narrative, but don't think the theological lessons come to an end. Come with me to explore what else John has to teach us.
David and I, as promised, take some time to analyze the meaning and relevance of the Life and the Light as described in John 1:4-5.
This is a good one, I pray it blesses you.
We are continuing our expedition through the Book of John. This episode continues John's use of theology to create a picture of who God is and what He has done, but also what we can do as well. I pray this blesses you.
Finally, David and I have a chance to let you in on our frequent conversations about Scripture, history, etc. Just two brothers talking about Jesus and the Book of John.
We're back, and ready to do an in depth study of the Gospel that sits off to the side. Why does it sit off to the side? What is so different about it? Why should I care?
These questions and more will be answered as we go down the rabbit hole of the book written by the disciple Jesus loved.
When we engage anyone, professing Christian or not, it is of the upmost importance that we use the Bible to do so. Allow the Bible to speak for itself, because it can. This episode is about an engagement I had with someone on twitter and how being Biblically literate helped me communicate how the Christian faith should be applied practically. I pray you enjoy and are edified.
John 3:16 is pretty simple and straightforward if you read it literally. However when you allow the adversary to influence your interpretive methods, you get this....
We are going to explore some peculiar claims about creation based on a peculiar interpretive method. Good thing for us that we have leveled up our Biblical Literacy to be able to see through false claims and recognize truth.
We are ready to apply some basic literacy principles to a sermon so that we can discern truth from lie, doctrine from deception.
Tonight we touch on reading the Gospels as Biographies and the Epistles as Greco-Roman letters
Being able to recognize metaphors and similes in the Bible assists with correct interpretation.
Recognizing figures of speech within the work of literal interpretation.
What is Biblical literacy and why is it important? Our goal at Of Things Eternal, is to level up the believer's knowledge of the Scripture so that they can be edified and stand convinced that what they believe is true.
