Lessons by Wayne Stewart

The lesson on October 22, 2017 was part 33 of "The U, V and W of Right Division".  Wayne spent time at the whiteboard exploring the subject of God's Will and man's free wheel in relation to the election we have "in Christ".  We went back to Genesis to see how God called the Nation of Israel and we learned from Deuteronomy 7, He chose them not because they were the largest but because they were small and He wanted to keep the promises he made to Abraham.  We looked at our own election in Ephesians 1:3.  We saw that God elected us out of those that were saved but we also saw in verse 13 how...

The lesson on October 8, 2017 was part 31 of "The U, V and W of Right Division".  Wayne continues studying the error of the Calvinism and how the Calvinist use scripture that applies to the hardening of Israel out of context to try to support their positions.  We spend time looking at Romans 9 and exposing that we do have a free will that God gave us and then uses our free will to complete His purposes.

The lesson on August 27, 2017 was part 27 of "The U, V and W of Right Division".  Wayne continues to teach against the Calvinism beliefs within Covenant Theology and this weeks lesson looked at the words "the called” in scripture, particularly at the passage in Romans 8:28.  After a brief recap, we looked at the called in Romans and Wayne pointed out that Romans is an Acts epistle.  The phrase "the called" is not in the prison epistles and we learned that the words apply to the nation of Isreal and he explains in the lesson.  We of the Mystery have a calling unique and separate from Isreal...
