This was exclusively a preaching session emphasizing the major tenet of Postmillennialism. This is the eschatology of victory. This session set the stage for the week long module consisting of 27 lectures. In this first session, there is an emphasis on preaching and the victory of the Gospel. One's present worldview does impact one's future activity. We are on the winning side in history because Jesus has all the power. The Great Commission will be fulfilled prior to His Second Coming.

VKCE01 The Church is On the Winning Side

This session discusses the relationship of Covenant Theology to Eschatology. The covenant of works is briefly discussed, and then an introduction to the covenant of grace demonstrates that this covenant spans both the Old and New Testaments. The Old looks to a coming Messiah, while the New looks back to the Messiah who has come. The Adamic covenant introduces the historical war between the seed of the woman and the seed of the serpent.

VKCE01 Covenant Theology and Eschatology

The Christian does not need to worry over difficult circumstances. We don't have to be afraid of anything. The key is having faith in God's Promises. Such faith produces courage. God's sovereignty and belief in it is the key.

Faith in Promises That Dispels Fear

One of the great themes of the Bible is the divine promise of victory for Christ and His church. King Jesus will and is winning the spiritual battles being waged on earth. His church is the key element in this victory of Christ. The church is on the offensive not the defensive. Jesus' promise in Matthew 16-18 is drawn from the divine promise of Genesis 22-17.

The Church's Storming of the Gates of Hell

The Pharisees, Scribes, and Sadducees were wanting Jesus to perform signs, but Jesus would not comply but why- Evil generations seek for signs.

The Futility of Asking For Signs

When Jesus had an intense encounter with the Scribes and Pharisees over ceremonial hand cleansing, Jesus sternly rebukes them indicating that they have missed entirely the most important truth of all - words and choices flowing out of a heart having been transformed by God's power. Our words give away the condition of our hearts.

Valuing What God Sees As Most Important

One of the biggest threats to observing God's law is the elevation of man's traditions above Scripture. In doing so, tradition always trumps Scripture. Jesus had strong words for such men and their traditions.

The Tyranny of Man's Traditions Over God's Law

Where there is faith there is no fear. The essence of faith is a confidence in the promises of God. The opposite of faith is doubt and fear which paralyzes. Learn about how Jesus taught His disciples about faith and some of the great failures of faith by even some of the great men of the Bible.

Will It Be Faith In a Promise or Fear That Paralyzes

Jesus' teaching in his hometown synagogue of Nazareth amazed the people but they could not believe in Him because of His upbringing and family identification. Men don't see Jesus unless they are freed of their bondage to sin and enabled to see.

Can't You See Who Jesus Really Is?

The parables of the mustard seed and leaven are unfortunately some of the misunderstood parables of Jesus, but they don't need to be. The problem is Dispensational Premillennialism's false interpretation of these. The biblical understanding is simple- God's kingdom will grow from small beginnings to greatness in the world.

Parables Promising Great Growth For God's Kingdom

How can you distinguish a genuine Christian from a mere professor of the faith- The Parable of the Sower and the Seed is Jesus' explanation as to the genuine Christian. You had better do some examination as the Bible commands to determine if you are the right soil otherwise you stand condemned.

If You Are the Wrong Soil You Are Condemned

Jesus' Parable teachings either reveal or conceal truth depending upon whether one is an elect or a reprobate respectively. The concealing of truth from reprobates is God's judicial judgment upon those who have hardened their hearts.

Jesus' Words Either Reveal or Conceal Truth

How important is Jesus to you- More important than your parents, and siblings- If not, then you don't understand Christian discipleship and are dishonoring Jesus.

Is Christ More Important Than Blood Relationships?
