The lesson on October 27, 2019 was part 30 of the "Genesis" study. Wayne opened up with a comment that a lot of what we have covered in the Genesis study is that of beginnings. Much of what we learn in Genesis relates to events during the Acts period and Acts 28. Further, right division of scripture is so important that Christians need to rightly divide the ministries of the Apostle Paul. Then while diving into Genesis, we learned more of the double curse the ground that God had put on the Earth. Next, we lean of the Hebrew word behind "keeper" which was "shamar". Wayne points out all...

The lesson on October 20, 2019 was part 29 of the "Genesis" study. This week Wayne looked at the descendants of Cain and hightlighted that they weren't knuckle draggers. In fact, Cain's line were talented tillers and the Hebrew word inferred them being "Smiths" e.g. blacksmith, etc. Often you find those who are opposed to God being themselves talented and making things of value. Why? Well, each one of us are created in the image of God and are given talents from God even though they won't acknowledge it. When Cain was asked by God where was his brother Abel, he responded...

The lesson on October 13, 2019 was part 28 of the "Genesis" study. This weeks lesson explored further the attributes of the Devil in how he uses scripture against the believer. What ever form his took before the fall, we learned in Genesis 2:20 "And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him." Adam had rejected him at that time so being subtle had worked his way back into the Garden to ask Eve... In Genesis 3:1 we see "Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which...

October 6th, 2019
The lesson on October 6, 2019 was part 27 of the "Genesis" study and Wayne opened with a review of the context of the question, "Why are their gifts apparent after Acts 28 when the Mystery had been given"? This is thoroughly explained in the Acts 29 study but the first 20 minutes of today's lesson revisited the impact of the believers who had been given gifts prior to Acts 28 that flowed into the new calling and needed to be built up, that is why PAul wrote in Ephesians 4:12 "For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:". Post...

The lesson on September 29, 2019 was part 26 of the "Genesis" study. Wayne reviewed the doctrine that was established in Genesis 3 when Adam fell and with Eve, they had made themselves fig leave clothing because they knew they were naked. God didn't accept their clothing because he gave them some skins from a slain animal. He established that forgiveness required the shedding of blood of an innocent animal. This doctrine was in place before the birth of Cain and Abel in chapter four of Genesis where we learn from the brothers display of obedience and rebellion. Although Cain was a...

September 22nd, 2019
The lesson on September 22, 2019 was part 25 of the "Genesis" Study. In today's lesson, Wayne gave us another perspective of a serpent's attributes before the interaction with Eve. Adam had named every beast of the field, and by naming them understood their attributes, which usually was reflected in the name Adam gave them. The curse that God put on the serpent after the fall was that he would crawl on his belly and eat dust. Well then, before then he must have been able to speak and move around without slithering. Perhaps he was originally rejected by Adam and the serpent thought he...

The lesson on September 15, 2019 was part 24 of the "Genesis" study. Wayne continued the focus on the Devil and his Angels (Demons) and pursued the question of how they can influence us today in our calling (the Mystery). In this review, Wayne recaps the power that the Devil has in tempting Jesus, and how he has a place reserved in heaven where he accuses the brethren daily (e.g. Job) but in the main focus on today's lesson was to look at what we learned in our Acts 29 study. We learned that those were possessed with a demon could be helped by the power of prayer and fasting. Gifts...

September 8th, 2019
The lesson on September 8, 2019 was part 23 of the "Genesis" study. This weeks lesson in Genesis Wayne teaches us that the personage of Satan or the Devil is real. It is not an analogy of the old nature of man as some teach. The Devil had huge power as shown in Matthew 4:8-9 when he appeared to Jesus and "showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor" and said in verse 9 "All this I will give you," he said, "if you will bow down and worship me". You cannot say that Jesus was only dealing with his old nature. Wayne provided us the context of how the Devil and his Demons...

September 1st, 2019
The lesson on September 1, 2019 was Part 22 of the "Genesis" study. We were introduced to the Devil in last weeks lesson and the focus this week was to explore where the Devil, also known as Satan came from. We learned that when God gave the Devil his judgement in the role of the fall of Adam, He described him in Genesis 3:14 saying "...Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:" God was describing his position spiritually vs physically. The origin of...

August 25th, 2019
The lesson on August 25, 2019 was Part 21 of the "Genesis" study. As usual, Wayne reviewed what we learned last week after he gave us a quick lesson on the hymnal we sang entitled "In the Sweat, By and By". The phrase "by and by" in scripture means immediately. We have come to think this term means "over time". This is a phenomenon that we have witnessed where words have changed their meaning over time. It would behoove us to take all the modern bibles we have today and study how they have changed the meaning of words improperly. Wayne prefers the original King James vs. the errors...
