On The Tithe - A "How To" Primer  10/22/09

"The Things that are God's..."

Are we under an obligation to tithe? Is the tithe a part of an "abrogated" law? Don't we owe YHVH everything?

Many misconceptions make their way through the conventional church today. Most all of them leave the Christian in limbo, not knowing how to please his God, nor how to alleviate the guilt of ever wondering if he has fulfilled all the requirements of living in the kingdom of God. Even more default to never giving and find themselves responsible for their own financial difficulties - never really free to ask the Father for help.


So just what is expected of us and how much - how often? What is a "second tithe" and who ever heard of a "third tithe"? Shouldn't "New Testament Christians" just discard this "Old Testament" ordinance altogether?

Join Don and Bill Sperry as they explore the Scriptures to reveal a pattern of giving and clear examples that any man of faith can understand. A no nonsense approach to tithing.

"This you ought to have done..."Luke 11:42

"On Sabbath"  -Keeping our Appointment with the Creator 07-16-2009
      

"The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath..."

The Sabbath seems to be either the most neglected (or most misunderstood) ordinance of the Scriptures. Many Christians do not keep the Sabbath because they do not understand its role in a "New Testament" frame.

For centuries the Sabbath has stood as a dividing line between sects and denominations. Ignoring it has caused whole countries to topple and go into obscurity. Keeping the day as intended by the great Lawgiver, however, offers blessing and reward, but how do we do it? Join us for this online classroom, On Sabbath.


"The Sabbath was made for man."
Mark 2:27

On Leaven -Observing a New Covenant Passover 02-26-2009

"As often as ye do this..."

As often as we do what? Just what has Yeshua done? What are we to do? Are we to carry on the SAME Passover Commandment in the Scriptures that the Jews have for so many years? Have changes been made to Torah?

Is Passover a day? - a night? - a feast? - a week-long celebration?
How can we be obedient to the Scriptures which command a lamb be slain, yet honor the sacrifice of Messiah who was the Lamb?


Believe it or not, as Torah observant Christians, a precise and balanced theology becomes very, very important. We have been put in a very tight place here. What do you do when Torah and Yeshua collide? Or do they?

We will answer these and many other questions surrounding this vital issue.  Just what is the obligation of those who intend to honor Torah AND it's fulfillment in Messiah?

"In Him dwells all the fulness of God."

On Grace -A Gift Mis-Defined 
1-27 & 1-29-2009

CAN YOU DEFINE GRACE?
Grace - American Heritage Dictionary:  

1. Seemingly effortless beauty or charm of movement, form, or proportion.
2. A characteristic or quality pleasing for its charm or refinement.
3. A sense of fitness or propriety.
4. A disposition to be generous or helpful; goodwill.
5. Mercy; clemency.
6. A favor rendered by one who need not do so; indulgence.
7. A temporary immunity or exemption; a reprieve.
8. Divine love and protection bestowed freely on people.
9. The state of being protected or sanctified by the favor of God.
10. An excellence or power granted by God.
11. A short prayer of blessing or thanksgiving said before or after a meal.
12. Grace Used with His, Her, or Your as a title and form of address for a duke, duchess, or archbishop.  

It looks as though the dictionary is having trouble with this most precious word. Though many theologians seem to have no trouble at all! They will quickly answer: Grace?... that's unmerited favor! Is that your answer as well? Better get your Bible out for this one!

Immortality of the Soul
11/6, 11/13, 11/20, 2008

The preacher screams, "Once a man is born he will never die! -- He'll live forever in heaven or forever in Hell!"

Is that true?

Most Protestants believe the doctrine of the immortal soul, but is it a Bible doctrine? What is meant by the sleep of death and why did the Apostle Paul say "...to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord."?

If our doctrines of salvation are based upon a flawed concept, can our salvation assured?

If Messiah's promise to those who follow Him was to "Live forever" what befalls those who don't follow Him?

Living forever in Heaven or burning forever in Hell - is this doctrine from the Bible or Dante's Inferno?

We will answer these and many other questions surrounding this vital issue. Settle this forever in your mind and heart – Just what is the state of those who have died before us?

On Guidance -Hearing the Voice of God  07-10 thru 08-14, 2008 

Does anyone like making decisions? Why is that? Could it be that we not created to make decisions -- but to follow?

Our lives are complicated and complex operations. We MUST hear from our God. Has He left us to our own wits? How can we be sure that we hear His voice?

He has not left us comfortless! He speaks. His sheep hear His voice. Do you?

Trade the choice for the VOICE! Join us in this life-changing study on Guidance.

Reconciling the Resurrection (03-20-2008)

Anyone who says there are no contradictions in the Bible – has never read it.


Fundamental to Christianity is the resurrection, but have you ever wondered why the four Gospel accounts of the “resurrection morning” don't all tell the same story?  How could all these accounts be true? The contradictions and inconsistencies are abundant and undeniable. Or are they?

NO ONE will even touch this controversy.  Preachers preach all around it, theologians argue about it, and pastors hope no one will notice it and start asking questions that they cannot answer. Sounds like a perfect job for Red Letter Academy.

Just in time for “Easter” this study will enrich your understanding of Biblical history and erase the doubts that plague anyone who has looked into this incongruity in the Scripture.

The good news: As soon as you get the red letters right -- it all makes sense!

The Rapture - A critical study
(04-24-2008)

Most Christians believe the doctrine of the rapture. Is He coming in the clouds? Are we going up? Are we going anywhere? Is the rapture found in the Bible? No, I'm not talking about the word "rapture" (we ALL know that's not there) but, the concept. 

Let's allow the Bible to interpret itself and see if the doctrine of rapture is true. If we decide to hold only to what the Scripture plainly declares, how much of what we believe now will be retained as truth when this study is over?

Study includes 1 1/2 hours of presentation followed by 1 hour of Q&A. This will be fun. Registration page has the cost information.

The Second Exodus -YHVH will do it again!(Spring 2008)

Does the account of the exodus from Egypt depict events to come? The similarities are striking. The promises of protection are words of hope to we, who in these last days await His return.

The knowledge of His calendar is essential. Where do the Feast days come into play? Even the construction of His calendar reveals clues to those with "ears to hear". He has always operated on the same calendar, set into motion at creation, and now, revealed to us upon whom the ends of the world are come.

 "Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that they shall no more say, "The LORD which brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt" But, "The LORD which brought up and led the seed of the house of Israel from all countries" and they shall dwell in their own land." Jeremiah 23

Let's study the account of the exodus with new vigor, understanding that it is a pattern given to us to comprehend latter-day events.

Take heart, Pilgrim, He really has NOT appointed us to wrath. He will take us out with a mighty hand -- AGAIN!

Don't miss this one! See the video!
