Lessons

The lesson on April 23, 2017 was part 13 of the “U, V and W of Right Division”.  Wayne took some time to share with us a 2nd Amendment perspective on suppressing terrorism in churches.  This stems from what he learned about from the testimony of Charl van Wyk who was just an ordinary Christian man until July 25, 1993 – the day that would become known for the St. James Massacre. It was on this date that Van Wyk shot back at the terrorists who were attacking an innocent congregation gathered in worship, and saved many lives in the process.  The continuation of the series in Part 13 looks at the word Mystery that appears in Ephesians six times.  There is a pattern that occurs and Wayne takes us through these six passages and teaches what significance these mean to us today.  It is a very important book the PAul the Prisoner reveals The Mystery in Ephesians 3:9 and it is the first book written after the Acts 28:28 judgement on the nation of Israel.  The scripture reading was from Ephesians 3:1-10 KJV

“1 For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles, 2 If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to youward: 3 How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words, 4 Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ) 5 Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit; 6 That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel: 7 Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power. 8 Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ; 9 And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ: 10 To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God,”
