Skip is preaching from his heart , That is How it is with The people who Truly Love Jesus . With Passion and Excitement and conviction. God bless Skip .
Some people don't speak as well or as pationately (in our evaluation) as Skip and yet love God as much and are as much called by God to preach. Even being impeded in speech they still preach the word faithfully and accurately. The Apostle Paul was an example of such a person.

Jesus was seen as a prophet in Matt 21:46. Jesus was seen as a human prophet the Israelites always understood prophets as mortal human messengers of God who were not in any way divine. Jesus was a human mediator 1Tim 2:5 makes it clear that there is one God and Jesus is only a man who mediates between God and mankind. Jesus was a man with god-given authority in Matt 9:8 we read that Jesus was a man whose authority and power came from God. Jesus reiterates the same point in many other passages. Jesus was accredited and appointed by God in Acts 2:22 we read Jesus of Nazareth was a man accredited by God. Later in Acts 17:31 Jesus is said to be a man who was appointed by God. In the past God accredited and appointed many prophets to carry out various tasks that does not make the prophets divine. The same applies to Jesus he was not God himself but rather an agent of God. Jesus is called a son of man in Mark 8:31, Mark 2:10, Matt 9:6 and Luke 5:24 Jesus is called the Son of Man which was a phrase applied to humans in the Old Testament. Why would God ever be a son of man? God in the Old Testament categorically denies being a man or a son of man there is no question of a son of man being God Num 23:19. Jesus was subordinate to God. We see this in Rom 15:6, 2 Cor 11:31, Eph 1:3,17 Eph 3:14 and Col 13:3. The New Testament routinely states that God and Jesus are separate persons and that God is also the God of Jesus. This refutes the notion that Jesus is God or in any way co-equal with God. In 1 Cor 11:3 Paul teaches that God is superior to Christ how then can people insist that Jesus is himself God. Jesus taught to worship and pray to God in several instances. Jesus directed all worship only to God who he called the Father and not to himself. In Matt 4:10 Jesus rebukes Satan by saying worship the Lord your God and serve him only, then in Matt 6:6 Jesus instructs his followers to pray to the Father not the son or the Holy Spirit. Then in John 4:23 Jesus says the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth. Very clearly Jesus never demanded worship for himself instead his message was to worship the Father Jesus submitted to God's will in Matt 26:39 Jesus prayed to God and ends by saying: “yet not as I will but as you will.” Heb 5:7 also highlights Jesus submission to God. God is sovereign and submits to nobody Jesus on the other hand submits to the will of God which demonstrates that Jesus was subordinate to God and therefore could not have been God in any way or form. Jesus emphasized doing the will of God and not his own this is made clear in John 4:34, Matt 7:21 and John 6:28. Jesus found it important to do the will of God and taught the same to others. Jesus said God is greater than him, we read this in John 14:28 where he declares and quote “the Father is greater than I” this notion is repeated in John 10:29. We see here that there is nobody greater than God and Jesus who plainly states that the Father is greater than him and he was not God. Jesus was circumcised according to the law in Luke 2:21 Jesus was circumcised on the eighth day like any other Israelite child. As per Israelite law Jesus kept the sign of the physical covenant God made with Abraham. Jesus was presented to God according to the law, again like any other Israelite firstborn Jesus was presented to God in the temple we read this in Luke 2:22. Mary and Joseph were simply keeping the commands that God gave to the Israelites. Jesus affirmed the Shema in Mark 12:29, Jesus affirmed the Shema which is the Israelite statement of faith in one God. Jesus who was an Israelite himself said that the Shema is the most important of all commandments. Jesus did not attempt to modify it so as to accommodate a trinity or his own supposed godhood. How then do trinitarian see the trinity and Jesus godhood in the Shema? Jesus identified as a Jew in John 4:22 when speaking to the Samaritan woman Jesus said “ we worship what we do know” in saying we he identifies himself as part of the monotheistic Jewish community. Jesus did not claim godhood. Jesus himself had a God in John 20:17 Jesus says to the people I ascend to my Father and your Father and my God and your God. Jesus once again reiterates that he himself has a God he did not lay claim to godhood. Again this proves Jesus was part of a community that worshiped God and was thus not God himself. Jesus sits at the right hand of God. The notion that Jesus would sit at the right hand of God appears in numerous passages throughout the New Testament for example Mark 16:19, Luke 22:69, Mark 14:62, Matt 26:64 and many others. If Jesus was indeed God why do we have so many verses mentioning that he would sit at the right hand of God? This clearly proves that Jesus was separate from God, he is another person.
I am healed by Jesus. I am healed from discouragement, Disappointment, pain, and I thank God for his goodness. Hi send his word and healed thiem. I want to follow my lord Jesus. He is good. I am a child of God.
I heard the same story about the Jehovah Witness verbatim practically from another online Bible minister talk about the same thing, a versus the. I don't know if he got it from you or you got it from him but it does make a big difference.
Thank you Skip! You are such a blessing to the Kingdom. I have been doing your studies though various books and I love all of them. You have so much knowledge and a heart that loves Christ. Continue blessed! Much love and blessings!!
Pastor Skip, I listen to you a lot from Malaysia and I am blessed by your teaching .I pray that God will continue to speak the truth through you because you are such a superb channel .
Hey, I'm Ally, I am new here! Thank you for preaching in a manner, dialect, and compassion I have never felt before. I have had a rough life as I am sure everyone has. I have never felt God's love until my angel of a fiance helped me connect through prayer during a bit of a meltdown on my part. It's like a million pounds lifted from me everything was lifted off my chest and shoulders. I cannot describe how it felt. I cried like a baby. Today I was having a rough time (disabled) and he had me watch this. You made it so that not only could I comprehend what you were saying but I felt it as well. Again I cannot explain like the sun was shining I could feel the warmth surrounding me. You sir have a new sub, I always like and try to comment a few times. Thank you so much for this beautiful passage and your delightful comic relief. God bless you and everyone who took the time to read this long message. But I had to tell you that God spoke to me through you when I watched this video. Sorry so long!
It's as though you were talking to me! So wonderful and captivating. I needed this message for a long time I am so very happy I was recommended to me by a pure angel! God Bless us All!
Thanks for your teaching. It was great to see you in Washington, DC behind the guy playing the piano via internet from the Philippines. Thank you for standing for freedom for our country. God bless you.
Paul always addressed his letters to the churchs: "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He always made a "clear" distinction between them, and never mention the holy spirit!
1: Jesus had a genealogy Jesus genealogy is written about in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke. Jesus being the Messiah was also called the son of David. in Matt 9:27 and again in Matt 21:9. Paul also calls Jesus as a descendant of David in Rom 1:3 The eternal God simply does not have a lineage or human ancestry it would be absurd to think a descendant of David is God or vice-versa. 2: Jesus had a mother. The Bible makes it clear in numerous passages that a woman Mary is the mother of Jesus for example Matt 2:11-13,14. In Acts 1:14 as obvious as it may sound the mother-son relationship between Mary and Jesus is by far one of the most potent arguments against Jesus godhood. If Christians insist Jesus was God then it logically follows that they must accept Mary as the mother of God. The truth is that Mary did not give birth to anything other than a mortal human being. 3: Jesus was likened to Adam in Rom 5:15 Paul likens Jesus to Adam the first man by writing quote “for if the many died by the trespass of the one man how much more did God's grace and a gift that came by the grace of the one man Jesus Christ”. Obviously the man in the first part of the verse refers to Adam whose sin supposedly caused death to enter the world and later in 1 Cor 15:45 Paul calls Jesus the last Adam. If Jesus was God why would Paul liken God the Son to Adam a being that God created? 4: Jesus ate and drank in Matt 11:19 Jesus says he came eating and drinking how can a man who ate and drank be God, does God eat and drink? 5: Jesus felt hunger and thirst, Jesus felt hungry we read yhis in John 19:28 we read that Jesus while on the cross felt thirsty God obviously does not feel hungry or thirsty. God has no needs and since Jesus felt hunger and thirst He was a human like us. He could not have been God. 6: Jesus called himself a man in John 8:40. Jesus himself states he is a man who speaks what he hears from God, no different from previous prophets. The trinitarian claim that Jesus was fully God and fully man has no foundation in the Bible.
in the trinity you say the father and the son are fully equal to the one another. The son is begotten but the father is unbegotten can you say that the father is begotten like the son ? if the trinity is 3 persons is the trinity identical to the 3 persons ? In the trinity Does the father know that he is the father ? Does the son know that he is the son ? does the father know that he is the son ? Does the son know that he is the father? Does the father know that he has Human nature and does the son know that he has divine nature ? if he answer no that means they don’t have the same knowledge In the trinity the three persons in god are they dependent on each others or independent of each others? If the father is one with the son why he come always first in the trinity ? If the three persons in the trinity are one can we replace them with one another can the son be the 1st then the spirit the 2nd then the father the 3rd ? Is Jesus in the God head or would you say the God Head is in Jesus ? if he answer one of them that means we have 2 Gods in the Godhead but if he If he answer both of them we ask how can someone be in the Godhead and also the Godhead be in them at the same time ? John 4:24 God is Spirit is that spirit referring to the whole trinity or to the father or the son or the Holy Spirit ? if he answer to the father it means we have 2 spirits the Holy spirit and the father spirit but if he said refer to the trinity it means we have 3 spirits in the trinity. Or God the Father , God the son - a binity !Now do you realize why they call it a Mystery and no one can explain it!!
John 1:12 "as many as" received Him, is a fantastic parallel to Acts 13:48 "as many as" were ordained to eternal life believed. "AS MANY AS". Powerful doctrine.
Dude !!! We are all J.B’s but our humanity gifted to us by our father from time to moment, hinders the grace gifted to us, this grace we like John who reflected the grace of God to others, this is what we are called to do... but our humanity hinders, but not always, never in our strength, but in His that sent us... sometimes we are not sent, but people are sent to us, it is then when we should die to our humanity and often not dont, but that we should ask for His grace to flow from us, give us the words to speak love into peoples lives, not that we should or are capable of this, but that Jesus’s love that lives in us should flow into the world around us... thank you for your insights...
Hi, my name is Jason and I serve on the pastoral team here at Calvary Church. When the bible uses the term “abide” it typically means to live, continue, or remain. When John, in chapter 15, says to abide in Christ, he is saying to live in Christ or remain in Christ. When you continue or remain in God’s word, that same word remains in you. The messages, attitudes and truth of God are contained in the pages of the bible. We need to know these things to grow and live in a way that reflects God’s impact on our lives. “And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.” Romans 12:2 By abiding in God’s word our mind is renewed and we better discern His will and who He is.

KJV John 1:5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. I don't understand how comprehend means extinguish. I thought it means understands.
@@jrmcgee5150 Different Bibles have different wording. I don't know. I didn't make this up or falsely remember. I opened my Living Bible and typed it. But I fully understand where you are coming from. This isn't the first time a dispute has come up using this Bible or my DailyBible app.

John 1:14. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. The corn. I AM the son of God, as the first within the last of the words of God, and I AM the word of God, as the last within the first of the son of God. The corn. The only begotten son of the father is ONE! And God, shall declare THEM! To no one, but one. The corn. If you’re looking for the two witnesses look at the son of God? I know it’s a mind-boggling conundrum, but nevertheless there it is. John 14:9.
The author of John is not named in the text. But the internal evidence points to the author being John Eleazer, AKA Lazarus. Not one jot nor tittle points to the Apostle John being the disciple that Jesus loved.
Another Minister on another online site quoted the Jehovah Witness story verbatim practically. I do not know if you got it from them or they got it from you. The Strong's Concordance brings it back to the original languages of Hebrew Aramaic Greek so you will know the exact meaning. It is a very big difference of A versus THE
God never dwelt on the earth as He was SPIRIT (John 4:24). he never became a flesh & blood man. His son Jesus is referred to as The Word because every word he spoke came from God. Jesus said in John 4 to the woman at the well that he was the Messiah she had mentioned, that she was talking to him, now surely if in fact he was God in the flesh, he would have told her. He didn’t because he wasn’t God, his words, miracles & all else came from God above, he said he but a humble servant, never exalted himself & he denied himself being an obedient servant & firstborn son of God, his words came from God. 🙏
John 1:2 says the Word was God then in verse 14 it says the Word became flesh and dwelt among us. The second verse claims the Word was God and in 14 that he came in the flesh. What do you make of the text?
Did you know that in John 1:1-3, there are different Greek words for both Gods mentioned? The Word, Jesus, (Λόγος or Logos), was with God (Θεόν, or Theon). The Word was God (Θεὸς, or Theos). He, Jesus, was in the beginning with God (Θεόν, Theon). Even though these are different cases of the same word, they are nevertheless differentiated. Satan was also called θεὸς, or Theos at 2 Corinthians 4:4. Is Satan also God? Don’t know Greek? Neither do I. Let’s break this down a little further shall we? In the beginning was the word (Jesus, Son of God), and the word (Jesus, Son of God) was with God (Almighty God, God the Father), and the word (Jesus, Son of God) was God (Almighty God, God the Father)? No matter how you put it, it doesn’t make sense!! What does make sense is that Jesus, being in the beginning with God (Genesis 1:26, John 1:1), in fact being God’s very first creation (Colossians 1:15, Proverbs 8:22, Revelation 3:14), actually calls God his God and worships God the Father. (Revelation 3:12, John 20:17)
Life is eternal. It’s a matter of where you will spend it. The eternal life spoken of in the Bible is living in relationship with the creator God forever. Nothing compares with that
Only, Christ is NOT God....The Father dwelled in Christ! Remember, I will put my words in his mouth and he will speak as I command him (Duet 18:18 kjv). Christ tells us "My doctrine is not mine but of the one that sent me" Who sent Christ? God did!!! God's lamb as the last offering for sin! He, our Father gave us the Messiah just as he promised....and we have Grace! Amen!!!
@@tmcge3325 Your question leads me to ask you this... Do you know the purpose of Christ coming down from heaven to earth in form of human? It doesn't delete His DNA as God
God's name is I AM as it is written in the book of exodus and in the book of revelation, Jesus Christ says 'I AM the alpha and omega, the first and the last'.
@@misskay1098 While the Holy Spirit is in me, I am does apply to me! He is in Messiah and Messiah in him, he is Holy then we are Holy too! Question: Can YHWH (God Almighty) be tempted by evil? Answer this question! Acts 2:22, John 20:17 and John 14:28 kjv Do you believe him or not? Do you believe John 3:16 and Romans 10:9 kjv. If you deny him, he will deny you! When does Messiah return? Does he know?
