Today, I couldn’t help but see in David’s life the politics of today. It is incredible to think about the fact that David was elevated to be King despite his sin.

Ep 209Acts 8 Have you been baptized in water and Spirit?
Baptism in water and Spirit when done right should accompany one another but there are times Biblically where this is not the case. Some reasons are, and there could be others….Water Baptized before personal faith in Jesus. Examples are infant baptism or perhaps baptism of a very young child. Water baptized without any knowledge of the SpiritWater baptized by someone who was not of the Spirit.Water baptized for the wrong reason. An example may be an emotional decision that is not from true faith or getting baptized because someone else was and you did it because they were. ★ Support this podcast ★

They were broken off for their unbelief, but you stand by your faith. Do not be haughty, but fear, 21 for if God did not spare the natural branches, He will not spare you, either. 22 Behold then the kindness and severity of God; to those who fell, severity, but to you, God’s kindness, if you continue in His kindness; otherwise you also will be cut off. 23 And they also, if they do not continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again. ★ Support this podcast ★

Ep 191Leviticus 21 There are no longer to be priests but believers are a new kind of one.
Today, helps illustrate that no one is to be “Father Ted” or Father ______ to you. The priesthood of the Old Testament has ended. The church is now to be lead by Elders who are also Pastor/Shepherds. The priesthood is now all believers who are to declare the praises of Him who called us out of darkness and into his marvelous light. In addition, New Testament Pastors may marry. In fact even Levitical Priests of the Old Testament could marry. Any church that has priests at all and then in addition does not allow them to marry is not following the Bible and there have been significant ramifications for their false teaching. ★ Support this podcast ★
