Click To Download Summary

1. If you go to a church and you are seeing a lot of freemason symbols in your churches parking lot, don’t just leave that church, but run away as fast as you can
2. We are at a time where people are departing the faith and attaching themselves to doctrines of demons that are not aligned with the Word of Elohim.  You prevent this from happening to yourself by reading and knowing the Word
3. Your doctrine must come from the Word. Do not add or take things away from it. Don’t force understandings & make up feelings about things that are not in line with scripture.
4. When we are not growing in our faith it’s only because we are not exercising it. We are not living in our faith.  We are not working it out. We are not doing the right work that will produce maturity
5. You should not be immature in your faith for a long period of time. If this is you, you must recognize that you have placed idols in your life that are in priority of the Father. Something has blocked you from gaining maturity in your faith. Be true in your reflection of this and fix this today.  You can’t truly say you love Him, and at the same time have neglected your relationship with Him for years and/or decades.  Don’t take that risk of Him rejecting you, because you rejected Him.
6. Just because you are young does not mean that the Spirit is not moving in you. Don’t let your age hinder your ministry.  Don’t let people slow you down and reject you because of your age
7. Always be an example through your conduct, walking in love, spirit, in faith, in purity.Because though they are not listening, they are watching.
8. We must show respect for our elders and all of those who we call brother and sisters.This does not mean that elders in age cannot learn from you, but you should not address them as a child. Proper respect is needed at all times, even if they are on the wrong side of certain doctrinal points.
9. What you should take away from Chapter 5 in reference to widows are that men and women of the church should take care of their widowed mothers and fathers and step in for those that have no one to take care of them. Today, we let the government step in more than the church should and now people today are looking for the government to fill these gaps more than the church
10. The problem people have when believing that the Bible condones slavery is because of placing modern context to ancient situations. Slavery in the first century was quite different from slavery in early American history.
11. Every action in our walk should be made in thought of how others may perceive it. We always need to ask ourselves will these actions bring people closer to Elohim or further away. When we exchange the gospel for a social agenda, we contaminate our mission
12. Verses 3 -5 gives us simple instruction that we all should heed to. All those who teach other doctrines, who twist Yahshua’s words and misrepresents them, understand that these people are proud and really know nothing. They rather have disputes, fight and cause problems. You should withdraw from them.
13. We should always try to correct false teaching and false doctrine, but we should not engage in disputes over it
14. Being satisfied and content with what you have brings great gain in our faith. Many that have big eyes that continue to desire more and more possessions often get trapped by satan. Be careful with your desires
15. It’s not money that is the root of all kinds of evil. It’s your love of money that is the root. Guard your heart because society today has taught us this love of money from the beginning of most of our lives. It teaches us to love money and work hard to go out and get it. Once this mindset has been implanted into us, we often get ourselves mixed in with all kinds of evil temptations
16. All the things that bring us into sin we should flee from. If you want to have a better relationship with YHWH pursue righteousness, pursue godliness, have more faith, walk more in love, patience, gentleness, all the fruits of the Spirit (Galatians 5). You must fight the good fight of faith
