Why Did God Institute the Priesthood?

October 09, 2023 11:00 - 56 minutes - 39 MB

God gave specific instructions for the priesthood that served in the tabernacle.  Everything about the priesthood pointed to Christ, even the details of their garments.  The high priest's shoulder pieces and breastplate, which bore stones that represented the tribes, represented Christ carrying the weight of the people on His shoulders and carrying the people in His heart.   VF-2391 Watch, Listen and Learn 24x7 at PastorMelissaScott.com  Pastor Melissa Scott teaches from Faith Center in ...

The Meaning of the Silver in the Tabernacle

October 04, 2023 11:00 - 57 minutes - 39.6 MB

God required people to willingly give offerings so the tabernacle could be built.  The riches of the world were applied to the work of God.  The silver given as ransom money was used for elements in the tabernacle and to make the silver trumpets that called the people to worship and to march to war.

The Ark and the Mercy Seat: God’s Plan to Dwell with Man

October 03, 2023 11:00 - 57 minutes - 39.6 MB

From the beginning God had a plan to dwell with man.  And before the coming of Christ, God graciously provided a picture to show us the way of salvation, and the way back into His presence.  This is clearly seen in two pieces of furniture within the Old Testament Tabernacle: The Ark of the Covenant and the Mercy Seat.  VF-2389 Watch, Listen and Learn 24x7 at PastorMelissaScott.com  Pastor Melissa Scott teaches from Faith Center in Glendale.

The Purpose of the Golden Altar and Table of Showbread

October 02, 2023 11:00 - 56 minutes - 39.1 MB

The showbread was an offering from the people to God, and it also represented Christ and our communion with God. The Golden Altar of Incense represented our prayers ascending to God.  From the start, God gave His servants the opportunity to participate and to have fellowship with Him. Both the Table of Showbread and Golden Altar represent communion with God. VF-2387 Watch, Listen and Learn 24x7 at PastorMelissaScott.com  Pastor Melissa Scott teaches from Faith Center in Glendale.

The Candlestick in the Tabernacle: God's Testimony of Light

September 29, 2023 11:00 - 57 minutes - 57.6 MB

The golden candlestick in the tabernacle represented Christ's death and Resurrection.  It provided light in a dark place, illuminating all the other activities in the holy place.  The oil represented the Holy Spirit, and the wick represented the saints.  God gives us the opportunity to participate joyfully in service to Him, and this requires fresh dedication each day.  VF-2386 Watch, Listen and Learn 24x7 at PastorMelissaScott.com  Pastor Melissa Scott teaches from Faith Center in Glend...

The Tabernacle through the Eyes of Christ

September 27, 2023 11:00 - 57 minutes - 62.9 MB

The symbolism of everything in the Tabernacle, from the measurements to the colors to the numbers, points to Christ.  God made it clear in the Old Testament that there would be a new covenant; the rituals that were performed in the Tabernacle are no more because Christ fulfilled them.  Our new dispensation is in His finished work of salvation.

The Ark of the Covenant Represents Christ

September 26, 2023 11:00 - 57 minutes - 59.3 MB

The ark of the covenant’s disappearance still haunts people today.  Many believe they have found it or at least know where it is, but nobody can produce the goods.  That is because the ark of the covenant was not permanent.  It was a shadow that represents Christ and His once and for all blood sacrifice at the cross.

Everything in the Tabernacle Points to Christ

September 25, 2023 11:00 - 57 minutes - 63.2 MB

The Old and New Testaments are inseparable, and they are incomplete without each other.  The shadows and types in the tabernacle point to the Christ and His work at the cross.  The tabernacle was only meant to be temporary.  Ultimately, the shadow would be replaced by the substance, Christ, and the old covenant would be replaced by a new one.

The Holiness by Which We See God

Hebrews declares that without following peace with all mankind and holiness, no man shall see the Lord.  Holiness is a complicated subject, but a desire to see God will lead you to pull apart the word meanings.  This message adds another layer to the foundation for understanding the words.

The Rich Man and Lazarus

September 20, 2023 11:00 - 52 minutes - 36.1 MB

When Jesus cursed cities that had seen His miracles and not repented, He said that it would be worse for them than for Gentiles that had not known God. Most religions have some concept of hell and eternal punishment, but we can look directly to what Christ said. In the parable of the rich man and Lazarus, the rich man ended up in a place of separation and torment, whereas Lazarus was taken to heaven by angels. The right starting point for the Christian is not to ask how to avoid going to he...

Return and Rest: God's Strength in Adversity and Affliction

September 19, 2023 11:00 - 49 minutes - 34 MB

Instead of following the Lord, at times we get ahead of and far away from Him, trying to solve our problems our way. Using the oppression of Israel by the Assyrian Empire as an illustration, we see that God allows adversity and affliction to come into our lives to get us to listen to His voice, saying, "This is the way, walk ye in it." God is in control; He will deliver us mightily, and if we return to Him and rest in quietness and in confidence, He will be our strength. VF-2122 Isaiah 30:15...

The Mark of Discipleship: Love to One Another

September 18, 2023 11:00 - 57 minutes - 39.5 MB

The difference between a "believer" and a Christian is the presence and power of God's Spirit working in those following Christ.  Standing by a fire will warm a person up, but looking at it from afar will not.  Likewise, we need the presence of God to transform us from the inside, or else the change will not last.  The mark of salvation is our reaction to the message of the Gospel.  After the Resurrection, the two messages most needed by the church world are Repent (metanoia) and Love one a...

The Resurrection: Understanding the State of Mankind and Immortality

September 15, 2023 11:00 - 54 minutes - 37.2 MB

To understand the importance of the Resurrection and why it is worth following the proofs, there must first be an acknowledgement of our fallen condition, in need of divine pardon, and a recognition of our immortality. If Christ is not risen, our preaching, first, is vain. Our faith and hope of forgiveness and resurrection are also in vain. No "logical explanations" can explain away the transformation of Paul or the eyewitnesses, the exact timing and details of fulfilled prophecy, or the gro...

The Resurrection: Eternal Life for the Believer

September 30, 2022 11:00 - 58 minutes - 61.8 MB

How did the Apostle Paul go from being an enemy of Christians to defender of the faith? There would be no benefit for an enemy of the church to lie about his conversion to the faith, to preach openly and establish churches or to give them correction.  After the Resurrection Jesus appeared to Paul and chose him to herald the gospel. Paul’s deep knowledge of the word lays out the basis for our hope in the Resurrection, the promise of eternal life. 1 Corinthians 15 VF-2182 Watch, Listen and L...

The Resurrection of Jesus Christ: An Unbiased, Historical Study

September 28, 2022 11:00 - 57 minutes - 39.5 MB

When doing a study on the Resurrection and trying to get information, there are a few things we must do as historians. First, use a method that has been tried and proven, that we know has the ability to unearth. Next, detach from bias. Finally, account for what we know as certain history. Many critics apply different criteria for looking at Scripture than they would for looking at any other field of study, leading to biased conclusions.

How You Make It to Heaven

September 26, 2022 11:00 - 58 minutes - 39.9 MB

Focusing on the last beatitude of the Bible, it is important to translate it correctly.

Satan's Attack and the Remedy in Christ

September 22, 2022 11:00 - 56 minutes - 39.1 MB

Many fail to recognize that satan and spiritual warfare are as much a reality in our lives as God is. The devil's enmity is not against us personally, but against Christ in us. We become targets because of our faith in Christ that takes us out of the enemy's grip and starts God's transformation process in us. The devil and his minions usually stick to a repeated pattern of what has worked before, attacking our weak points. He appears as an angel of light, a counterfeit bringing false teachin...

Christ's Fulfillment of Scripture in Matthew

September 21, 2022 11:00 - 54 minutes - 58.3 MB

Just as eyewitnesses may see any event from different perspectives and recall different details, each of the Gospel writers has a slightly different focus in the information he presents.  Matthew's record focuses on the death of Christ and spilling of blood that would fulfill the shadows and types of the Old Testament sacrifices, presenting Christ as Deliverer and Reconciler for both Jews and Gentiles.  Our only choice is to either wholly accept or wholly reject him.

Atonement: Made Complete by the Blood of Christ

September 20, 2022 11:00 - 57 minutes - 61.9 MB

In the Old Testament, in order to be made right with God, there was a temporary way into God's presence once a year on the day of atonement. This set time was reoccurring and something that God laid out as a shadow that pointed to the shed blood of Christ sufficient to cover us once and for all. His shed blood, unlike any other blood sacrifice, had and still has the power to wash and cleanse us, to forgive, to restore, to reconcile and to bring us back into communion and fellowship with God....

The Lord's Passover: God's Ultimate Revelation in Christ

September 19, 2022 11:00 - 58 minutes - 61.7 MB

It is important to study the Old Testament to understand how God unfolds the revelation of Christ in the New Testament. The Lord's Passover and the exodus out of Egypt's bondage point to Christ's delivering sacrifice. Just as the children of Israel had to apply the blood of the lamb to the door to be spared from death, we must apply the shed blood of Christ to our hearts. The whole event is a template for us as we act in faith today and receive His deliverance from the bondage of sin and dea...

Jude's Doxology: To Him Who is Able to Keep You and Hold You Faultless

September 16, 2022 11:00 - 57 minutes - 39.3 MB

Jude concludes his letter with a doxology that is essentially in the form of a prayer in the Greek. He emphasizes that when we are in peril of being shipwrecked in our faith by false teachers, Christ has the power to keep His focus on us as a shepherd watches over a flock, standing us up again firmly before Him when we stumble in our walk. Because Christ has washed us in His blood, He can present us blameless before the Lord, and we will have the privilege of being received with joy into the...

You've Got Nothing to Boast About

September 14, 2022 11:00 - 58 minutes - 40 MB

Using the current event where the Westboro Baptist Preacher (WBP) publicly called Taylor Swift a whore, the point is driven home: not one particle of boasting can enter in. This boasting is a substitution of the works of the law and/or emotions for the finished work of Jesus Christ.
