So many times we read the Psalms but don't give much thought to praying through them.
The example King David is giving us, on how to have an honest relationship with the Lord during our failures and successes should be an inspiration to us all.

Please join us as we walk through this wonderful Psalm and pray it back to the Lord.

Episode Summary

How we learned to study with Dr. Baruch of Loveisrael.org

Episode Notes

We are in our study of Exodus. This is a picture of our Christian life. You can take Exodus themes and trace them into the Gospels. Exodus is a book of redemption. And so are the gospels. Mary and I realized as we got to Exodus 4, that this is where we started to learn to study with Dr. Baruch. What are the steps? We prefer not to use formalized steps because too much of Christian teaching is based on "the 10 easy steps" of this or that. We can safely say that God isn't a "step". He is our Maker, Creator of the Universe and expects us to walk before Him with a commitment to His word and working with Him on our sin (Titus 2:11-12). He paid a horrible price to redeem us from our sin and our eternal death and we want to give back to Him our love and stop our former evil life. "If you love me you will obey My commandments". John 14:15. If we love Him we will obey. What do we do? Start to study the bible. John 1 says "The Word was made flesh"! We can be disciples if we follow Christ. We can then make the case that studying the bible is following Christ.

Our podcast is about the "steps" or the actions we take in our study. A synopsis is; we study before referring to any commentary. Then we check with Dr. Baruch in biblestudycompany.com videos and compare our "try" with his knowledge. We then make adjustments in our study and growth. Rinse and repeat. Join Ric and Mary Joyner of Podcast for Pewsitters to find out the steps of how we study with Dr. Baruch. Please share.

In Exodus 4 PT 2, God is on the move to fulfill His plans and purposes. Moses is in dialogue with the Lord, which is prayer. Moses is in the process of rejecting God's word, and the Lord gets angry. Why? This is because of unbelief. Not trusting all of our future outcomes on God Almighty. Unbelief is the opposite of faith, which is obedience to God's word. Unbelief is rejecting God's words, and thus the great things He has for our lives. "Wait," you say: "Podcast for Pewsitters, Moses was being asked to take on the most powerful person and nation on the planet." Yep, this is the same as Christ asking us to take up our cross daily (well sort of but not as dramatic) and put our will and desires aside. Can we? No. Not unless we get help from God, Who, by the way, is the Creator of the Universe (let that sink in). So will we ask Him for His power? Will we respond? If we are being honest with God, we could pray, "Lord, I am so scared, and I think I will fail you." We believe God loves those kinds of sincere dialogue. We even had one ourselves. "Lord, I can't follow you...I tried and failed..." Good, that you failed in your own strength. Now try using His power! Grace is the saving power of Christ, and the Holy Spirit will teach us away from everything ungodly. Titus 2:11-12 When we are moving away from ungodliness and being obedient to God's word we are in grace. What is our willingness to obey God, and be in honest prayer? If Moses struggled with obedience, you will too. Be encouraged. He will help us!

Ever wonder what happens when we die? Dr. Baruch of Loveisrael.org gives a scriptural defense of what happens when we die. Here is the video.

It will either comfort you or cause you alarm. If you are alarmed because you are not sure where you will spend eternality then do this:

Take the 10 commandments Exodus 20 and read them back to the Lord. How do you stack up? Have you lied? Yes. Have you made God into your own image? Have you lusted after anyone? Yes. You committed adultery in your heart Christ said. Have you spoken evil about someone? This is called murdering someone in your heart. You are a sinner like the rest of us. And the wages of sin is death. Eternal death. But we have hope in what Christ did on the cross for us. He took the punishment we should have experienced. So place your sins on Him and turn away from your sin but ask God to help you to change. Here is a video on whether you are good enough to get into heaven. We all think we are good people. But whose standard are we deciding by?

Exodus Chapter 4 Part 1 Are you an honest person?

Why do we need to study the Bible? Because God has given us the Word of God to reveal Himself to us. We discuss this fact in this podcast for pewsitters. God is outside space and time. How can we, a created being for God's purposes, understand a God, Who can create the universe by speaking it into existence? Through the Bible. WOW think about that! Isn't that truth exciting? Let's ask more questions.

Are we experiencing revelation in your bible study? Several questions we must ask ourselves.

1. Are you an honest person?
2. Do we see a progression in our life toward God's will? This question matters because of what the Lord said in Matthew 7:21-24 21 "Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. 22 "Many will say to Me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?' 23 "And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.' 24 "Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them, may be compared to a wise man who built his house on the rock.”
3. And what will it cost you to study the Bible?
4. And are you willing to be "just" a servant of God?

If you are not in God's word, you can trick yourself into believing what you are doing or changing in your life is according to what God wants, but maybe our motives and maybe what WE desire vs. what God desires. Is this the way God wants us to approach the Bible? No.

We will see several progressions of Moses that we can apply to our life:

1. Prayer progression. Moses is growing in his relationship with God in communication
2. Revelation progression. Moses is growing in revelation to the will of God
3. Relationship progression. Moses is getting to know Who God is
4. Obedience progression is tied to listening and acting on God's word
5. Walking with the Lord means He is walking through life with us. And many things will come into your life that you have no control over, and we need to look at these and pay attention.  

Thus, honesty to God, to ourselves and others, is paramount in our life. Psalm 32 discusses deceit in the context of sin. Blessed are those whose sin is covered!

We are made in the image of God. We reflect His righteousness out to the world. But where do we get His righteousness? From Him, and the Bible. How do we line up with the plans and purposes of God?

Do you ask questions of God from the Bible, or do you question God? Big difference.

When we line up with God's plans and purposes such as Moses in Exodus 4, we will have revelation from God. So how soon do you want to do this, and what will it cost you?

We are: An online study Bible with a social media community

Our mission: Studying Scripture to live a praiseworthy life

Our vision: That a “Company” of believers are studying Scripture to live a praiseworthy life

Our Hope: That Pew-sitters move to disciple and then to disciple teachers bearing fruit for Christ

Why Christmas is so important.
by Ric and Mary Joyner

The new baby lay in the manger. Mary knew and Joseph knew that the King of the Universe, Maker of heaven and earth, and yes, Creator God was lying helpless as a baby, like all people born into the world. They named Him Y'Shua, aka Joshua. God is with us...Come to save us.

As the night grew colder in the Israel *winter, the hay grew warmer. The rumble of many feet hurrying toward Joseph and Mary caused some concern to the new mother and father. Just then shepherds burst into the stable and shouted and pointed all at once: "Just as the angel said there would be a baby, "This will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger." Their conversation shouts all blended into one loud joyful noise. As the shepherds marveled at the "sign" given by God, Mary also remembered her "sign." She reverently recalled what the angel told her, "The angel answered and said to her, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you, and for that reason, the holy Child shall be called the Son of God."

As the shepherds continued to share what they saw to the new parents, Joseph thought back to discovering Mary being pregnant and the angel said to him, "She will bear a Son; and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins."

The shepherds exploded into praise to God, singing psalms as they saw the presence of God in a baby. Mary and Joseph looked at each other with grateful worship toward God. God orchestrated confirmation of their angelic signs, which so many months before, led them to this stable, and their Messiah being born.

The Anointed one from God IS HERE. HE WAS FORETOLD, and now HE IS WITH US!

No one in the stable could fathom the future or the questions to ask. But in 2019, since we know the story ending, let's ask some questions. Why did the King of the Universe come in such a poor state? Answer: To show that we need nothing from this world expect dependence on God, and He will give us all we need if we seek His Kingdom rulership in our lives. Our home is not this world but with Him. Matthew 6:33

Lord, why did you make Mary and Joseph travel to Bethlehem? Answer: To fulfill prophecy. And to involve the whole world in His birth even though the world did not know. But today, the world does know. Our God is in control of everything. Micah 5:2

He was born in Bethlehem. Hebrew for "House of Bread." He is our bread from heaven. Just as Joseph saved the world with bread by God's power, Christ came to save us with Himself the true bread from heaven. John 6:35

He came to save us by conquering our real enemy, sin. Sin separates us from God. Isaiah 59:2 The wages of sin is physical and eternal death. Romans 3:23

As He approached the cross, carrying our sins, the Lord Jesus Christ must have thought of each one of us. Our sins are piling up each day by what we say and do. Christ came to save us from this "sin debt." Our sin debt is why we need a savior. Let us take our sin and put it on the Savior and thank Him. Because He forgave us, so now let us generously forgive others. Now we can go and sin no more based on His power in us. How? He is the word of God come in the flesh for us. Let's study His word starting today as a grateful gift to Him with a thankful heart.

As Christmas Day dawns, remember the Angel visitations and the Glory of God singing into the night for the whole earth. Let us celebrate with the heavenly host our Savior's birth. God has come to save.

**We don't know exactly when Christ was born. It could have been fall or early spring or winter. Either way, it was when sheep could be in a field without crops and that includes the winter.

We are starting a new channel list for worshipping God using the Psalms. David was anointed King of Israel because he was a man after God's own heart. This comment about David was made by God. So how do we become a person after God's heart? Learning to worship in tough times. Pray through the psalms with us. Join us for these videos.

Are we reading God's word to know ABOUT him or to KNOW him? When we love someone, we spend time with them. Our Bible helps us get to know God by asking Him to reveal His purposes to us. God's Word is what created us and sustains us. In Exodus 3 Part 4, Moses is confronted by God to carry out His will, to free the people enslaved in Egypt. God is literally revealing himself to Moses through a "image of a man" in a burning bush. This is the same for us today. We are to be in the image of God, reflecting his Character. How do we do this? First serve the Lord, make him our priority, study His word with the depth and reverence it deserves. Then when he says go, GO!

Christ came to earth for us, so we could physically see how God would act in a human body. Do we understand this truth? Are we willing to now turn our hearts and lives over to him at the foot of the cross? Are we willing to approach the Word of God in a way that would deepen our relationship with our Creator? We must know that the Word of God is our lifeline to our Christian walk here on earth. Our born-again experience doesn't end with giving our hearts to Christ and repenting. It is just the beginning of an awakened Spirit that can now experience revelation and understanding where we couldn't before. It is the very thing that changes us from the inside out. Our eyes are then open to the reality that redemption is possible through our Savior Christ and our desire to Obey and Serve him comes from pure gratitude and LOVE!

Does worshiping God include dealing with our sins? Exodus 30 and 31

Most scholars believe the tabernacle in the wilderness is a pattern of worship. Mary and Ric take their husband and wife bible study of Exodus and discuss how the tabernacle in the wilderness is a pattern to be in God's house. All of us should long to be wherever God resides. Numbers 12 shows us that God spoke to Moses face to face. And Moses was part of God's household. WOW. Moses was obedient to God's word. He demonstrated faith by acting on it. We can study to obey God's word. We have the whole bible. Moses just began to start to write it! Now let us be a part of God's household...by being one who obeys.

The tabernacle gives us a pattern of God's plan to become close to Him. We cannot worship any way we wish and hope to be part of God's household. We must always be willing to deal with our sin. How do we know we sin? God wants to reveal our hearts to us through the application of God's word.

God was so serious about dwelling with the children of Israel; He had two lambs slain each day so that in the morning and evening, we could put our sin on the lamb, knowing God was covering us with the "blood of the lamb" for the day. So we begin our worship by accepting the sacrifice of the lamb and repenting of our sin.  

In the video portion of this Podcast, Ric diagrams the tabernacle and shows it is laid out like a house. God's house and His rules. But our sin must be dealt with IN OUR HEARTS and with HIS HELP. The pattern in the tabernacle shows us instructions on how to worship God if we ask God for His assistance to understand.  

We then turn the chapter to Exodus 31, and God is speaking to Moses to select a man who is the son of... and the grandson of...In these names of men, we think the Holy Spirit is showing us the character of the man who would build the tabernacle by being filled with the Holy Spirit. We are filled the same way TO CARRY OUT GOD's will and Kingdom. Bezalel's name showed he wanted to be in the shadow of God. Do we?

Exodus 3 Part 3 In whose shoes are we walking? 

In whose shoes are we walking? God's shoes or our shoes? His will or our will? This is crucial for us to note. Why? Moses engaged the Egyptians in Exodus 2 in his strength or his shoes, not God's will. An Egyptian died as a result. And Moses fled Egypt. Why? The 40 years Moses was in the wilderness was a preparation time, as much for Moses, as for the Hebrews. God wants to prepare us for service in His Kingdom. This "wilderness experience" of depending on God is especially true in the times we are currently living. Will we submit to His word before circumstances get beyond our control? Shall we turn to God now for help knowing His word, so we become prepared for the times ahead?  We can obey the Scripture by putting our hearts up against the Word of God, as Moses is now doing in Exodus 3 Part 3. Moses' choices changed him, and our choices to be in God's will change us as well. Can we see that obedience to God's revelation in His Word will give us power? Why? We are operating for His purposes and glory...not our own.

Here is a crucial bible study principle. We are not Moses. Thus we cannot live the way Moses lived. But is this a correct point of view? No.  The Holy Spirit is using the story of Moses to show us that we each have choices as Moses did. Moses's hard-earned lessons are ours if we receive them into our lives by asking the constant questions: "Lord, open my eyes, I want to obey you. How can I respond to You correctly?" The Lord will answer this prayer. When we approach Scripture, we can have this attitude. 

The revelation of the Lord will change our life like it did Moses. We can learn Moses' lessons. The goal of the Holy Spirit is for us to line up with God's plans and revelation. But be prepared, it means we will be changed! You will go on a journey with God.

We have restarted our Exodus Study

EPISODE SUMMARY
When encountering the living God expect change! Exodus 3 Part 2 Join Ric and Mary Joyner for continuing the discussion in Exodus which is a glimpse of our Christian walk.

EPISODE NOTES
After 40 years in Egypt and 40 years in the wilderness, Moses encounters the Living God Who is moving to SAVE His people out of Egypt. Egypt represents the world system of sin and being enslaved by sin. The Pharaoh is the evil ruler and is representative of Satan. But sin is what separates us from God. Our discussion asks questions of the Lord, such as why the Hebrews ended up enslaved in Egypt and you will be surprised by the parallels of our own lives? Hint: Idolatry. God is listening to our cries for His salvation from the bondage of our sin. He wants to rescue us to Himself.

This video was shown at the Loveisrael.org Annual Conference. We were Christians for many years before finding out this "secret". We were reading our favorite Christian books, sitting in the pews taking in what the pastor shared and using our bible as a devotional book. Our life changed dramatically when we changed our position to study the bible to be obedient to the word of God. But how? Watch the video.

EPISODE SUMMARY
How to become a disciple. In this talk, biblestudycompany asked Dr. Baruch to discuss what it means to be a disciple. He covers 2 Timothy 2:1-10. 

EPISODE NOTES
This podcast for pewsitter is on how to become a disciple. In this talk, biblestudycompany asked Dr. Baruch to discuss what it means to be a disciple. He covers 2 Timothy 2:1-10. But first, he discusses Moses.

Humility is a crucial component. Our understanding of humility is flawed. It is not an outward emotion or demeanor but a choice. Yes, a choice. According to Numbers 12:3, Moses was the most humble man on earth. How do we know humility has nothing to do with a demeanor? Because the Lord says: 7 "Not so, with My servant Moses, He is faithful in all My household; 8 With him I speak mouth to mouth, Even openly, and not in dark sayings, And he beholds the form of the LORD. " Please note that this confirms Gen 12:4 that Abraham was full of faith because He heard from the Lord and obeyed God's word. Moses, too, was humble because following the word of God is going to be hard on us. And that is why it is a choice. Obeying God can be so hard we may not be able to accomplish obedience without His help changing us! Our thoughts are that Moses was indeed humble and a strong leader. Inward strength is required to obey God's word. Will we make a choice to follow God's word with His help? So God is faithful to His word meaning that He keeps His promises. We are to be faithful to act on His word as well.

Dr. Baruch carries this concept into the New Testament in 2 Timothy 2:1-10

EPISODE SUMMARY
First Annual Bible Study Company Conference. When will the tribulation start? What is the next event on God's prophetic calendar?  Dr. Baruch Korman of Loveisrael.org covers Ezekiel 44:23-17

EPISODE NOTES
Dr. Baruch gives us the next events in God's prophetic timetable. It is as if you are sitting in front of Dr. Baruch, who is creating a dinner full of events that we can see unfolding. We are indeed in a startling time of history. Prophecy is unfolding before our eyes in rapid acceleration. For example, some of the questions Dr. Baruch answers are: When will the tribulation start? Watch Iran. What is the next prophetic escalation? The religion of the Anti-Christ will be tolerance, except for Jews and Christians. Why is global climate change a huge deal? Are there ways for us to be a Kingdom person? Why is there such a focus away from God's word in the church and to signs and wonders? Does the prayer of people in church seem to be for emotional revivals that focus on experiences rather than discipleship? The Lord always calls us to submit our lives to Him and His word. By asking for Christ's help to change us to line up with His will, the greatest miracle of all happens. A person's heart is changed; they are born again; they can understand God's ways and will bear fruit according to Christ and the Kingdom of God.

Mary and I were in a bible study we had today for a group. We discussed the role of the bible in our lives. We discussed every pewsitters "role" in going to church. We dutifully go to church but are listening to what pastors teach about the bible but rarely engage Scripture ourselves. The group nodded in agreement. We also explained that the bible is 66 books with 37 authors! But the exciting theme in Scripture is that God, Who could speak the universe into existence, is impacting the lives of people. The people who put their trust in God as a result of obedience to His word, faired very well under His Lordship, rather than following their heart's desires. He is moving in our lives as well. We either see Him or not. "What did you just say, Ric?" Yes, we can miss Him as He is moving through history. We are blinded by our own minds to His ways. And if we are lucky enough, we may come in contact with Christ, and we are born again. Our eyes are changed. What now? How do we move forward? We go to church. We are told what to do and what to know and even what to think. But is this the model of discipleship that Christ had with His disciples? No. They were in a relationship with Him as He moved through their lives and onto a goal of doing the Father's Will. What is God's will for you? To be in submission to His will and thus His word. But you have to be a disciple first. As a person in the pew, how do we go about being a disciple? Take a course? Better yet, how can I study like Dr. Baruch? Change your thinking and start a relationship with the God of the bible by engaging His word. In this podcast or video, Dr. Baruch shares how we can begin to study like a disciple. If we are serious about Scripture, He may open up the word to us. (Prov 1-2) We may get to see into the Living God's heart! We can get to know Him and His ways. David did. David learned through the trials of life and the word of God, to do His will. Will you? Pick up the word to obey God in a relationship with Him today. Don't think you can? Ask Him to change you. He will. And don't let HIM GO like Jacob refused to do. You, like Jacob, will never walk the same again. Join us as we listen to Dr. Baruch expound the scriptures to inspire us to be doers of the word.

Why study the Bible? What is the purpose? Are you a disciple of Christ? From Romans 9:1-16 Part 1, Dr. Baruch Korman shares at the First Annual User Conference why we as Pewsitters need to study God's word. 

EPISODE NOTES
Why study the Bible? What is the purpose? Are you a disciple of Christ? Disciples obey the teacher. Our Teacher is the Lord Jesus Christ. From Romans 9:1-16 Part 1, Dr. Baruch Korman shares at the First Annual User Conference why, we as Pewsitters, need to study God's word. But how?

One of the first signs of someone's experience of being born again INTO GOD'S Kingdom is a hunger for God's word. But what about us who have been "sitting in pews" for many years? The main reason for us to dig in as pewsitters is to get to KNOW God. We can ask Him to be Lord of our life but what does that mean? Who is this God I cannot see? But I can hear from Him through His Word. Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God. Dr. Baruch Korman of Loveisrael.org helps us to get a foundation of FAITH in the why, how, of biblical study. Join us for this podcast or video.

Dr. Baruch goes into detail about a passage that was important to the Apostle Paul. Today the church is lacking in teaching about doctrine and theology because it may not "grow" the church. But for those of us who wish to be disciples to live a praiseworthy life to God, we must know how critical doctrine and theology are to our walk with Christ. The Lord wants us to be ready and prepared. We do this by knowing how and what God expects us to obey. Don't miss this foundation talk!

When it hurts the most...
When the tough things of life impact us what is our reaction? Do we get angry at other people? Do we agonize over the decision that created this mess? Do we blame God if a loved one is ill or we are? What if we are hurt in a church, family or work setting where we trusted people and a breach happened. These are deep wounds. As Mary and I studied the bible together to find God's agenda for our lives we saw some patterns develop. Let's take a look.
What can we learn in the Exodus? Complaining against God and others is not an appropriate response. Why? Because it actually says to God: "You are NOT caring for me the way I want You to and thus You Who created the Universe don't know what You are doing". [We cringe writing this as we are skirting using the Lord's name in vain by writing our thoughts about His character which are untrue, but this is for a teaching moment for us so please bear with us.] He is none of those negative traits and we actually can think He doesn't see my problem or care! Which is far from the truth. So what should be our response? Worship and thanksgiving. "WHAT!!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME Bible Study Company!? I am in such pain right now you have no idea and so much bitterness". No, we are not kidding. We have been through some SCARRY SITUATIONS and are still going through some long term heart-wrenchers. As we studied God's Word to find out His agenda for our lives we saw the response of God's people in the desert to Him. Meaning that whenever a hard spot was encountered, they blamed God or Moses or both and said that He was taking them out in the desert to kill them! This is very hurtful and disrespectful to God and Moses since He just got done rescuing them and fed and watered them in the desert and actually created a climate-controlled environment. All of this the nations could see and marvel. So how can it enter our minds that He would be so cruel after showing so much love? In Heb 3:10 God shows how angry He was at being mistreated, and disrespected. They got their reward. By being buried in the desert of "man's" opinions versus being allowed into the promised land. See the irony? We are those people too. King David was a great example of someone who decided to trust God in very trying times. Imagine being made a king when the kingdom already had a king!? Yep, God fired King Saul and anointed David the lowly shepherd and King Saul focused his energy, not on repenting for failing to obey God, but on someone who was to replace him! Saul was hunting David down to kill him. David instead was hunting God's heart. But God was with David. Yep, the book of Psalms was written out of those trials. So grab your psalms and read them back to God in your own words when in a trial. Dig deep in the well of worship. Here is an example in Psalm 23: "The Lord is my Shepherd. (Stop) and now say: Lord you are my shepherd, I trust in you with xyz trial or person or situation. You will lead me to green pastures. Why? I know I can trust in Your great love for me. Change me so that I walk in Your ways, the ways You desire and not my own...". See now we are offering the sacrifice of praise. Heb 13:15. Christ did this too in all of His sufferings. The disciples couldn't see the benefit of Christ whom they loved tortured. But through His sacrifice, we can now put our sin on Him by faith and we are raised to newness of life. So if Christ could go through the brutality of suffering for us, let us offer the sacrifice of praise to Him! We have a saying at BSC "When it hurts the most worship the most".

EPISODE SUMMARY
What is next on the prophetic timeline and are you ready? We are to be Kingdom of God minded people. Dr. Baruch Korman at the First Annual User Conference explains how to line our lives up with God's prophetic calendar. 

EPISODE NOTES
What is next on the prophetic calendar? People we encountered have said; "It doesn't feel right in the world, and something is wrong." We agree. There is something unsettled, and it is the events that are rising, as if from the turbulent "sea" of political chaos. Nations are indeed rising against nation and religious persecution around the world is at an all-time high. Churches seem to be oblivious to the needs of people and God's call to preach the word of God and make disciples. Can we know what is happening and when? Dr. Baruch opens up the Scripture to see the next events on God's timeline. But are you ready? Are you a Kingdom-minded person? Don't know how to be? This podcast will get you started. The first place is to get on our face before the Lord Jesus. Then ask for a new heart in our fight against sin and for help in living a praiseworthy life to Him. He wants us to be ready. That can only happen with a submitted heart to the Lord. Join us for this podcast.

How do we approach the Bible?

A dear friend is staying with us. A person who has been a Christian for many years but struggled with reading the bible. We know her "pain". She read it as a devotional because she did not know how to approach the Bible. This book is 66 mini books with 37 authors! They tell a SPIRITUAL story (derived from the Spirit of God through men about God's agenda for us). When Mary and I began to study the bible together and alone we changed our approach because of Dr. Baruch Korman's point: "We are to live a praiseworthy life to God". This meant we should approach the bible to find out how to please God. When we started our study of Exodus several years ago we had no idea that this story of the Hebrews leaving Egypt was a picture of our Christian life. "What did you just say, Ric?" Take a look at some of the themes in Exodus and overlay them in the gospels and you will see the themes there! (Example: wilderness, bondage, and sin, redemption with the Passover lamb, Matthew 5 and Exodus 20 are parallels) So today, sit down with your bible and ask the Lord: "Lord will you train me to study so I can please You regardless of what it costs me? Oh and regarding the cost, will you change me so I will obey you when I can't? And have Your Kingdome come on me please". Those are prayers that are praiseworthy to God because they line up with His Will. BTW our friend? She joined us for our study of Exodus this morning and she had never seen this change of approach and she was heartfelt glad and visibly touched. Join us in our pursuit of God's agenda for our lives. The promise of His opening scripture to us is contained in Proverbs 1.

EPISODE SUMMARY

Understanding Biblical Prophecy is so important for those of us who want to study the Bible to be obedient to God. Dr. Baruch Korman teaches on Matthew 24:32-44

EPISODE NOTES

Dr. Baruch Korman discusses Matthew 23:32-44 at Bible Study Company First Annual User Conference, and its relevance for us. Christ is the Spirit of Prophecy and lining our lives up with prophecy is crucial. For example, we will be with the Lord in the Millennial Reign of Christ thus should we not get ready now while in this body? But how? How do lay-people learn to understand the symbolism? The Lord will help us if we are committed to His plans and purposes. Watch Dr. Baruch unpack this key Scripture describing the last days time-lines. Join us for this great podcast.

Hello Everyone,

Do you want God's revelation in your life? We have completed adding our conference videos to a playlist on our youtube channel called: First Annual User Conference

We would love for you to go through the videos to get a flavor of the WHO, WHAT, WHY, and HOW of biblestudycompany.com. Dr. Baruch teaches us how to study and why. Ric Joyner shows the ins and outs of using biblestudycompany.com. We are studying Scripture to obey God and then to live a praiseworthy life to Him. Studying scripture with the purpose of obedience to God creates faith in us (Gen 12), and the Lord will create MORE REVELATION in our life when we learn to study to obey. (Proverbs 1) Dr. Baruch Korman of Lovesisrael.org was the featured speaker. Please go to his website and participate in his ministry. 

Study with us! Join our community! 

We are planning a second conference. Let us know what you think. AND PLEASE LIKE AND SUBSCRIBE BY CLICKING ON THE BELL. 

In lieu of our podcast/video this week we are recommending a great sermon by Dr. Gerry Breshears on SPIRITUAL WARFARE. Mary and I highly recommend this talk as it "snapped" into place many pieces of a puzzle that we saw about spiritual warfare in our studies. For example, why was the earth in a state of chaos (Gen 1:2) if everything God made was "good"? Are we approaching prayer of binding and loosing or tearing down strongholds correct? Was placing Adam in the garden an act of war? Against whom and what? These are all great questions and ones that "snapped" into place. It will make Christ's comments about loving our enemies make sense and why the cross was so important. Adam was as a gardener and so was Christ. When you click the link there is a download for notes. Grab those.
