For 19 years now, I've been blessed by you Pastor Batchelor. I first listened to you when I was at drug rehab in 2003. My fried brain could barely discern what you were talking about...but I knew it was the truth. I Thank God for you, brother.
Shabbat shalom! Great reminder, for all of us. The church I currently go to isn't SDA but the pastor ( very sincere hard working man) recently told us about the importance of feet washing and even thought his denomination didn't practice it, he was happy and humble to implement it since about a year ago.
@@chucksmith4624 Verse 14-15 is the emphasis if you are to follow Christ as the True example. Jesus didn’t bash people. So why are you? What do you make of this verse? “Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters” (Matthew 12:30).
@@chucksmith4624 Jesus came to show us how the Sabbath was supposed to be kept. Again, Christ is our example, Not the Pharisees-they were putting burdens on everyone’s shoulders, they were trying to do the same thing to Jesus by putting burdens on His shoulders; by accusing Him of healing on the Sabbath day (among other accusations) when “it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath day.” The Pharisees had so many mini rules that they were causing people anguish by their control freak ways. They couldn’t even light a lamp on the Sabbath! according to the Pharisees rules. Jesus came to show us that the True way of keeping “the Sabbath was made for man, not man for the sabbath”-meaning: we are not to put burdens on people, but rather relieve them of their burdens on the Sabbath day, (and any other day, as well). 😀
Blessing to Amazing facts and everyone who has part in the Lords work there. Happy New Year may God continue to spread His message through this ministry
I just want to say I love you. Any time I watch these videos it touches my heart and opens my eyes to things I never noticed before. You are a very good servant, teacher, and speaker of our Lord's word
I like restaurants where they have sinks and you can wash your hands. I've seen it in the Philippines and it's very good. You don't need to go to the bathroom and touch door handles.
Thank Pastor Doug for the preaching, and thank you for being organized, this is the best way to shepherd! May God bless you and His church! Brothers and sisters have a blessed new year full of spiritual health and fisical health 🙏⚘
I enjoyed this sermon and the reminder in being humbled with humility. Once again, thank you Pastor and all glory and honor to the Lord almighty, Amen.
Really enjoyed this sermon bro. Doug, I pray I'll get the opportunity to physically be in the granite bay congregation one day. I've never heard the washing of the feet sermon like this before. So thankful for another year. God bless family
Pastor Doug my wish is to get a Bible coming from you as i continue study the words of God. I'm here in Muscat, most of the Bible here translated in catholic version. Wonder why i was surprised when i read it during watching your you tube sermon , most of the verses completely different. 😔
Thank you for the sermon, pastor Doug. May God bless you and all who hear it. I missed the prayer. Can you please include the prayers also? We as listeners need them too. Thank you.
Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth. 2 Timothy 2:15
Pastor Doug there is no such thing as bible times, until Christ return we all from genesis to revelation is mention in the bible. The bible continues to the end.
Pastor Dough, I am a 39 year old I am a single woman. I have a question. What will happen to miscarried babies on the day of resurrection? Will Jesus resurect them? Thank you for serving the Lord.
Keep strong. Dont forget that despite the struggles in this world, God is full of justice, mercy and love. Justice said we broke His perfect law - causing the world's previous perfection to be destroyed - and therefore we deserve Hell (like a punishment in any legal system but this is eternal as His perfect law is eternal too). Don't think you fit in that category? Ever done one of these?: lying, stealing - regardless of how small the object EVER, hating others - which is murder in God's perfect law, lusting (plus God sees our entire thought life). Justice says "the soul that sins shall die" - if we break one in thought/word/deed it's as if we're guilty of all of them. Quite simply, living by the law (which is doing everything perfectly) is impossible for sinful humans . The law shows us that 1. We will die in Hell if we fail to follow it and 2. We cannot save ourselves BUT, 3. God's perfect, immovable law points us to Christ, who followed and fulfilled the law in thought, word and deed perfectly in our place. He did what we couldn't and did it on our behalf. He was then sentenced to death on a cross, and took our personal punishment for our sin, paying our penalty (like paying our fine) completely FOR us, and has given us freedom. If we turn from the sins we have committed and repent (pursue the opposite direction of love through Christ) He will, overtime, recreate us back into that previously perfect image through The Holy Spirit which Jesus sends to all who accept Him as their personal Lord and Savior of their life. He will help us through the struggle, the stress, and anything we experience in the world. It's about letting Christ in to guide and teach you and obeying Him through His power (not ourselves, we need Him to help us as it's impossible without depending on His power and instruction). He is our substitute in His life, death and resurrection. He essentially rewrote history in our place so that, if you believe in Him, it will be as if you had never sinned if you accept Christ's death as our own in our place. He is in Heaven right now preparing a place for us so that He can take His faithful, believing children home with Him when He returns. He will ressurrect us from death when He returns, giving mercy to those who accept His love, instruction and teachings in their life, and give justice to those who refuse it. He doesn't want ANY of us to go to Hell and die for continuing in evil and rejecting His way to life, thats why He died FOR us. Hes giving EVERYONE a chance, He wants everyone to take the free gift of salvation from Hell. He wants us to be His and begin to follow His life of love and service through His power and abiding (staying) with Him. So long as we keep our hearts near to Christ through His strength, strive to follow His will of perfect love revealed in the Bible, and let Him lead in the midst of (very certain) pitfalls and struggles, we will, in time, win the ultimate victory over sin, pain and DEATH through Christ. Even if you are willing to be made willing, pray for Jesus to come in and He will do what we can't. Give us The Holy Spirit who will guide us in the right way. Christ says in John 16:33: I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace. In the world you have tribulation and distress and suffering, but be courageous [be confident, be undaunted, be filled with joy]; I have overcome the world.” [My conquest is accomplished, My victory abiding.] - (AMPLIFIED version) NOTE: You are NEVER too sinful or messed up that God cannot turn your life around through Jesus. EVER. Regardless of what you've done or what you're going through you CAN make it through Jesus. If you have any questions let me know
Hello brothers and sisters I just got done watching this video from pastor Doug and I was curious about the washing of the feet if somebody could please answer my question I would like to wash my mom and my brother's feet tonight but they are not Christians I try to preach to them but I'm not there yet or maybe they're not there yet and if that's okay if I wash their feet and pray and listen to good Christian music and if this is okay to do how do I wash the feet I mean is it with soap and water or oil or how do I do it please answer me thank you and God bless
We do not have this at my church in key West for The Seventh-Day Adventist on New Year's Eve we had communion but we had to go 50 miles up in Marathon after church service to have communion plus my new pastor is also a State trooper so trying to talk to my pastor it's hard and everybody else at my church the elders they got a business or they're working and it's hard to get a hold of people at my church and I got so many questions and on Bible study live on Sundays by the time I get it in key West I usually fall asleep because by then it's at 10:00 at night
Foot washing was an ordinance about humility , with no specifics at the performance of it except; water in the basin and towel to dry it. So either you add soap or oil it doesn’t do you any harm . Mary washed Jesus feet with precious ointment and dried it with her hair. What is important is that you explain it to your mom or brother why you’re doing this ordinance to them . And lead to them to Jesus who did this ordinance first. Jesus was the creator and King, yet he made himself like a servant to washed the disciples feet and also died on the cross for us . Philippians 2: 5-8
