Biblical Understanding based on the Record of Scripture
A number of sermons were given that were either not posted online or were subsequently pulled from circulation. This category lists Studies that may fit in other categories but are collected under this topic for convenience.
Paul instructed Timothy that the word of God was profitable, for teaching, reproof, correction and instruction in righteousness. Does this not imply that we will encounter need for correction; that our current state of righteousness is lacking; that some portion of our "doctrinal integrity" may be in error? We must take care to use the scripture as God intended. We must be willing to acknowledge our errors and correct them in the light of scripture. Tradition and interpretation must not take precedence over revelation.
Note: This presentation was given on December 30, 2017 at Mark's retirement. Mark chose to not speak as access was being restricted. After Terry spoke he was informed that his sermon was inappropriate and it would not be posted. It is being shared here and will also be included in the Restored Sermons category.
The Corona virus has caused a major upheaval in the world. Are the churches responsible to expound the motives behind this issue? Are the conspiracy theories valid? Are we not taught by the scriptures to prove all things?
YHVH's covenant with Abraham was confirmed with Isaac and with Jacob and then with the nation of Israel. It is an everlasting covenant that extends on down to the restoration of Israel in the land promised to them and their being called to salvation.

1John 3:1-3 NKJV
Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed upon us, that we should be called the children of God! Therefore, the world does not know us, because it did not know Him.
Beloved, now we are the children of God, and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be but when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is.
And everyone who has this hope in Him (the Father) purifies himself, just as He (the Father) is pure.
