Unit 11 Oneness in Christ - The Major N.T. Theme - part 2 [21:30m]: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download (70)
Is there one NT theme that stands out above all others? Yes I believe there is. It is that God intended that we be one with Him. Jesus spoke about this in John 17 when He prayed to His Father in His High Priestly prayer. He said that just as He and the Father were one, believers would also be on with Him. Paul also said the same thing when he spoke of Christ in us and Christ being our life. Many other scripture are used in this study and it is easily observed that they are all saying the same thing, that God intended that we be one with Him. What a wonder it is that the God who created the universe has stooped down to every believer making it possible for union and unity with Him.

Unit 10 The Enigma of Romans 7 - The Misunderstanding that Blocks Life in the Spirit. Here is the Gospel of Jesus Christ, cleared of the impairments that Romans 7 seems to present. This is a unit of study of some importance, as it focuses on the Gospel as Paul presents it in Romans. In one sense it summarizes many of the other studies located here and explains how a proper understanding of scripture, based on the death and resurrection of Christ, enables us to live in the freedom of the Spirit of Light and Truth, through a correct understanding of what being dead to sin means and how this relates to the flesh being overcome by the Spirit of God.. This study goes into the detail of Paul’s life and his ministry, when all the aspects of his life occurred and how this reconciles all parts of the Gospel in Romans 6. 7 and 8, with the Book of Acts. The PDF file is one 20 page document. The MP3 audio presentation is divided into three parts of 33, 27, and 28 minutes respectively. The single PDF file or all three audio tracks are needed to complete the study - better with both.

This unit of study is dedicated to setting out three major ways in which we in the church seem to ere, possibly bringing on ourselves the chastening of the Lord, which we otherwise might not experience if we were obedient to His word in these deeper things. So this unit of study will encompass three aspects of the Christian life that do seem to be understood and not lived as the Lord would expect of us.

Is there an antidote for some forms of adversity? Or are there means of preventing the worst of adversities from hitting us so hard? Yes there is. Proper abiding in Christ is the only way. We are enabled to live as Christ intended. It is right through the N.T. word. This is a short sermon of 30 minutes without the usual notes that normally accompany studies. It was spontaneously written just prior to Christmas of 2008 out of words from the Lord on experiences in life in recent times. In some ways it is an applicational summary of the previous 7 units of study. In some ways it could be seen as an introduction to all these units. (No PDF file available)

Unit 8 - The Antidote to Adversity - Living as Christ intended [30:59m]: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download (85)Can the adversities in our life be considered an adventure or are they just an annoyance.? What part does God play in these things and can adversity lead to blessing? That is the essence of this study. Writing on the subject of adversity is quite a daunting task. However, it relates closely to the major theme of this series of studies of living in the fullness of life and spirit that God intended. As the Bible clearly teaches that adversity is a major precursor of that life, we need to understand how it appears to work in relation to the teachings of scripture and the workings of God. However, as a man who has lived and experienced some degree of adversity (although very limited compared with some) I believe I can offer some thoughts on how it all works, even though much will remain in the realm of mystery of how God deals with His special saints, in the process of them becoming like Jesus.
Can the adversities of life be considered an adventure or are they just an annoyance? What part does God play in these things and can adversity lead to blessings. That is the essence of this study.
