A Pivotal Issue: Hebrew Roots part 4 Jun 04, 2019

Show notes

How we understand the repeated teaching that we are not "under the Law" is really important. I'll look at one example of how some in the Hebrew Roots movement interpret this phrase and then we will compare that with what the Bible says to see if it's viable. This is part 4 in my series on the Hebrew Roots movement. Here is the link to the whole playlist. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZ3iRMLYFlHuOD_BytSxbejzCnGPOcgFw Here's the original video from 119 ministries - https://youtu.be/CWWg9ZKOc6g I produce free teaching content helping people learn to think biblically about everything and by God's grace it really is having an impact in people's lives around the world!

Repentance is Part of the Gospel: The Mark Series part 5 (1:14-15) Jun 02, 2019

Show notes

The first public message of Jesus is a condensed gospel message. I think that it boils down the gospel to certain essential truths that we need to be sharing when we evangelize. In particular we will look at the concept of repentance and how pervasive it is in gospel preaching in the New Testament. We'll answer some of the following questions. 1. Is calling people to repentance a normal part of gospel preaching? 2. Is repentance a work? 3. What is the biblical definition of the word "repent"? 4. Can Christians repent multiple times? Today's study covers Mark 1:14-15 and you can find the whole Mark playlist right here. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZ3iRMLYFlHuGenHwUdeiQ5M-uj5XW4sF I (Mike Winger) make free videos helping people learn to think biblically about everything.

Limited Atonement, Universalism and why I disagree with both. May 29, 2019

Show notes

Does 2 Corinthians 5:14-15 teach Limited Atonement? Does it teach Universalism? Does 1 John 2:2 present a challenge to Limited Atonement? Disclaimer - This is not a comprehensive discussion of these topics but I have gathered some questions I have been sent about a few specific passages of scripture dealing with limited atonement (the L in the Calvinist TULIP) and universalism (the idea that all people will be saved). I expect many of my brethren who are Calvinists to disagree with a lot of what I say in this video. You are more than welcome to share your disagreement in the comments and I appreciate you doing so in a manner representing our common faith in Christ.

Satan Tempts Jesus EXPLAINED: The Mark Series part 4 (1:12-13) May 26, 2019

Show notes

Many mysterious things happen in this passage. Jesus' temptation brings up the issue of how God could be tempted. It also raises the question of whether Jesus could sin or not. We also have some neat typology related to Moses, Adam, Israel and Jesus. And we will look at some information on Satan and how to pay attention to the spiritual battle you are in every day.

Does Acts Teach Us to Follow the Law of Moses? Hebrew Roots part 3 May 21, 2019

Show notes

There is a growing movement of people teaching that followers of Jesus/Yeshua ought to be followers of the Old Testament Law. If we pay close attention to the book of Acts we will see that this is not the case. In this video we are surveying the book of Acts to answer some of the following questions. 1- When someone who already followed the Law of Moses believed in Jesus did they continue to follow it? 2- When someone who did not follow the Law of Moses believed in Jesus did they start following it? 3- What direct teachings do we have from the book of Acts related to obeying the Law of Moses. Here's the PLAYLIST where I will put all the videos I do that relate to the Hebrew Roots Movement or specifically the idea that all followers of Jesus should obey the Law of Moses. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZ3iRMLYFlHuOD_BytSxbejzCnGPOcgFw My goal in this ministry is to help people learn to think biblically about everything.

Why Baptize Jesus? The Mark Series part 3 (1:9-11) May 19, 2019

Show notes

Most of us are naturally curious as to why Jesus underwent baptism. Especially since John baptized Jesus after saying the Bible says John preached a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins! In this video I'll explain why Jesus was baptized and what deep theological truths we learn from it. I'll also tackle some of the false teaching of Bart Ehrman about the gospel of Mark.

The Law of Moses, the Gentiles and Jesus: Hebrew Roots part 2 May 14, 2019

Show notes

This may be the most important passage to those who say that all followers of Jesus should be obeying the Law of Moses (sometimes called the Hebrew Roots movement). To be honest, I really can understand why they interpret it that way, even though I disagree. This video will analyze Matthew 5:17-19 and Matthew 28:20 as they relate to the Hebrew Roots teaching as well as looking at some other often misunderstood things about the Law of Moses. Next week I will pick up where I've left off this week and cover more content from the New Testament on the topic of whether Christians are under the Law. Here’s the first video in this series on the Hebrew Roots movement. https://youtu.be/QR7xTYhXEbo My ministry is all about teaching and defending biblical truth in order to help people learn to think biblically about everything.

Stressed Out? Biblical Help That's NOT a Cliche May 09, 2019

Show notes

I (Mike Winger) recently had the honor of teaching and leading communion in at my fellowship. As I prepared I thought that the Lord was leading me to teach on the topic of handling terrible stresses and heart breaking worries in a biblical way. This isn't just a self-help study for those who feel stressed by non-issues. This is biblical help for those who are worried to death or feeling totally overwhelmed by the anxieties and stresses they are facing in their lives. I pray that the truth of the Scripture comforts your heart as you put your hope in Christ and are reminded of how that hope impacts your troubled heart. This online ministry (BibleThinker) is made possible by the support of people like you.
