Do we show the same precaution Pilate showed when He looked upon Jesus just before the crucifixion? Do we come to Him with assumption of who He is and His Cross is? Do we understand the Cross? These questions we begin approaching in this session as we seek to tremble again at who Jesus is and what His Cross means.

Romans 15 is an often overlooked chapter, yet is paramount to understanding Paul’s train of thought in the book of Romans. While this is sort of a parenthesis session, the matter must be discussed: What was Paul expecting of a gentile church he disciple?And, what is the offering among the gentiles that is acceptable to the Father and sanctified by the Holy Spirit?

John Harrigan, the man from the hippie family, the myth that is true, the legend that is still living for the Day of the Lord, joins us in this live teaching. He breaks down for us the rich young ruler in Matthew 19 and launches into the natural apocalyptic framework by which the Jews understood the scriptures in the first century.

Session 57-58 encompasses three conversations around the “Kingdom of God.” We work through many passages together, seeking to understand the Old Testament context of the substance of the Kingdom of God and processing through what the kingdom would mean to a first century Jew (i.e. the apostles).

Class 56 is a continuation of class 55 in which we sought to approach the term “Kingdom of God” in the New Testament. We explain that this is an encapsulation phrase relating to the termination/fulfillment of many biblical ideas such as salvation, eternal life, judgment, resurrection, born again, etc. Holding to a first century Jewish apocalyptic view, we see that the words of the New Testament are actually validating concepts from the Old, and that Jesus is not in fact introducing “new ideas of truth,” but rather preaching a gospel of repentance in accord with the law and prophets before the judgment of the future comes-i.e. Day of the Lord.
In other words, the Kingdom of God is not happening now spiritually, it is a complete future reality in which the prophets, Jesus, and the apostles set their hope. We must also in expectation of this kingdom.
“There will be signs in the sun and moon and stars, and on the earth distress among nations, in perplexity at the roaring of the sea and the waves, people fainting from fear and the expectation of the things that are coming upon the world; for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. And then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. But when these things begin to take place, straighten up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near. And He told them a parable: “Look at the fig tree and all the trees: as soon as they put forth leaves, you see for yourselves and know that summer is now near. So you too, when you see these things happening, recognize that the kingdom of God is near.” Luke 21:27-31

Class 42 is divided into two sessions. We take an in depth look in these sessions at the theology of Jesus and the apostles to see if they held an Israel-centric view of the gospel within the borders of our “New Testament.” If they in fact do, we discuss what this outcome must mean.

Classes 39-41/Sessions 50-52 are entitled “Typifying Leviticus 26 and Deuteronomy 28: Knowing What the Torah Blueprint Means”
This is the third of a three part series based on the comprehensive ideas of Blessing and Curse in the Scriptures. We identify the original idea from the garden of Eden, look at the transposition of this idea within the microcosm of Israel, and begin to unravel a very simple idea of what eternal life and eternal punishment would presumably be based on these ideas in Torah.
In this third session we look at the lynchpin of redemption––how Israel is always promised to be delivered out of the final distress! We also work through the recounting of the covenant terms through the eyes of the individuals in the Bible who are actually experiencing the curses themselves.

Sessions 49-51 are entitled “Typifying Leviticus 26 and Deuteronomy 28: Knowing What the Torah Blueprint Means”
This is the second of what has become a three part series based on the comprehensive ideas of Blessing and Curse in the Scriptures. We identify the original idea from the garden of Eden, look at the transposition of this idea within the microcosm of Israel, and begin to unravel a very simple idea of what eternal life and eternal punishment would presumably be based on these ideas in Torah.
In this second session we focus on the curses specifically and how they should define the New Testament ideas of what “hell” is.
