Why did God make us Alive? What's with these good works God prepared to characterize our lives.Oleh Larry Eiss

Ephesians is a wonderful book filled with spiritual truth. The incredibly good news in these few verses is absolutely glorious.Oleh Larry Eiss

In this updated sermon from a few years ago I take a look at the imagery of the first miracle Jesus performed--turning water into wine. Why are the pots He used significant? Why so much wine (it was well over 100 gallons)? Why did He ask Mary "what to me and to you?"Oleh Larry Eiss

This time we look at Wisdom and Knowledge Hope Glory Power Raised and Seated and Biblical HeadshipOleh Larry Eiss

Noah preached the Gospel, though I'm quite sure he didn't know it. It's much the same for us.Oleh Larry Eiss

Paul begins teaching us the doctrine that will underpinned his coming practical applications. In this, we sit.Oleh Larry Eiss

In this episode we are introduced to the book of Ephesians. We will propose an outline through which to examine the text. We'll see how Paul begins with doctrine, telling us what Father has done in and for us, and only with that firmly established does he progress to more practical matters that flow from that.…

In this episode I look at how righteousness is defined by the dictionary, the Bible, God and people of the world. It's eye opening truth.Oleh Larry Eiss

I preached this a couple of years ago, but just added to it and preached it again. There is tremendous good news for those of us who fail, falter, and faint. When we doubt God's love for us, we can find faith strengthening truth in what God says about Himself and about us.Oleh Larry Eiss

A little yeast permeates the entire loaf of bread. So it is with merit, performance legalism and Religionist.Oleh Larry Eiss

We look at the word and testimony of Christ, which John was instructed to communicate, the consistency with the rest of Scripture we should expect to find in The Revelation, and the seven blessings The Revelation promises.Oleh Larry Eiss

This is a significantly updated version of an earlier teaching on the first few verses of Galatians 5. I spend some time here speaking about the enemy's schemes that hobble God's children and make us feel in effective. There is great freedom in Christ Jesus. You'll pardon (or perhaps appreciate) my use of the KJV here. That was audience specific.…

Setting the stage for our study and giving an overview of the book of Revelation.Oleh Larry Eiss

This is a significantly updated version of an earlier teaching on this passage. You'll pardon (or perhaps appreciate) my use of the KJV here. That was audience specific. This is such a rich passage and by the end we're carried into the glory of the Lord.Oleh Larry Eiss

The beginning of a study of The RevelationOleh Larry Eiss

Grace and Spiritual Fruit Finishing Galatians Chapter 5, learn that we are not under the law, but under grace and we discover some of the beautiful ramifications of that. How can we know the Spirit is in us and we are in the Spirit? How do we bear spiritual fruit?Oleh Larry Eiss

We are not tasked with revealing deeper knowledge leading to great spiritual maturity. We need not master convoluted doctrines and back them up with unassailable logic. On the contrary, as ministers of the New Covenant, we do not need to have an agenda with people. Rather, we are called to present the Good News of Jesus Christ as we have opportunit…

Stymied growth is the natural outcome of religious rule-keeping because it takes the focus off the True Source who energizes us and turns it toward our own performance. This is not where life is found. Obeying the truth is not adherence to a list of rules, edicts, or laws. Obeying the truth is living by faith. It is entrusting our wellbeing to God.…

We do ourselves a disservice when we as moder-day believers read the word "law" and think only of the 613 ordinances handed down by Moses. Like some of you, I spent years living life on a spiritual rollercoaster of failure, groveling, and rededication. The result was that I remained spiritually immature and ineffective. Find out more in this episod…

Light is spoken about in the Bible from Genesis to Revelation. The Good news is that the Light is the great gift of God to the world. In this episode we will see the incredible thread of the promise of Light and it's fulfillment in the Lord Jesus Christ. It is cause for great celebration, and nothing is more worthy to be celebrated.…

Galatians 4:21-31 Over and over we hear the refrain “he who has ears, let him hear.” Willingness to hear or rebellious refusal. These are the choices we must all make. This part of Galatians shows the good news that it is not our obedience to the rules, rites, and rituals of religion, but willingness to listen to God and trust Him.…

Galatians 4:8-20 In this episode we learn about a beautiful enslavement, God knowing you knowing God, relational ministry, and misplaced zeal.Oleh Larry Eiss

Continuing our study of Galatians brings us to chapter 4. This time we learn the true meaning of baptism and how it relates to being clothed with Christ and the white robes in The Revelation.Oleh Larry Eiss

The Covenant Stands The Law is Inferior to the Promise As we continue studying Galatians the status of the Law as compared to the promise of God comes into stark relief. In this episode, we learn the importance of the Law having been delivered by a mediator and we see how good the Good News really is.…

Abraham, Covenants, Law, and Faith All these topics are covered in a few verses in Galatians Chapter 3. The glorious truth that sets us free is uncovered as Paul uses the Hebrew Scriptures (the Old Testament) to make his points about Religion and Relationship.Oleh Larry Eiss

Paul’s emotionally charged message to the Galatians saints is that it’s foolish to think that religious practices have any value in providing salvation, righteousness, or ongoing acceptance by God. In this episode we dive deep into the first few verses of Chapter 3.Oleh Larry Eiss

The fourth in the Galatians study. This time we look at peer pressure, straightforward truth, and life in Christ Jesus.Oleh Larry Eiss

Continued study of Galatians brings us to chapter 2. Paul visits the Apostles in Jerusalem and we are told of false believers, spies, slavery, and the preservation of the truth.Oleh Larry Eiss

Galatians highlights the difference between religion and relationship with start, and sometimes surprising clarity. Paul's words about those who would try to institute self righteous act into the Galatians church make very clear just how important this issue is.Oleh Larry Eiss

GALATIANS 1: Jesus to the Rescue The book of Galatians speaks to a problem faced by the early Church, but it is a problem we still face today. In this episode we begin a series of studies in Galatians. It is my prayer that they shed new light on the war between religion and relationship.Oleh Larry Eiss

Many think of hope as a kind of wish for something to happen,but what is hope? What does the Bible say about hope? Why is hope important?Oleh Larry Eiss

Why is faith called the substance of things hoped for. What does it mean that it is the evidence of things not seen? In this episode I take a deep look at those questions.Oleh Larry Eiss

There are two components to the Gospel, but many only hear about one of them. Mercy and grace. Both were given at the cross.Oleh Larry Eiss

Too many of God's children feel guilty, ashamed, even fearful because their attitudes and actions do not reflect the new heart and new spirit they've been given. Scripture speaks about this in Hebrews. It says that those who have been made pure need not be sin conscious. In this episode, I dig into that and provide some encouragement for those who …

What are we saying when we talk about the blood of Jesus? Why do we say it has power? The amazing truth of the Gospel is wrapped up in this idea. Let's explore it together.Oleh Larry Eiss

A covenant is a very significant agreement. It's secured by blood. Our relationship with God is based on His covenant with us. In this episode I look at the old covenant God made with the Hebrew nation, and the new covenant He has made to replace it.Oleh Larry Eiss

A Brief Study in 1 Thessalonians Chapter 1Oleh Larry Eiss

Maybe you're not listening at Easter time, but the simple, profound, and world-changing truth remains unchanged. Jesus rose from the dead and the ramifications were beyond powerful.Oleh Larry Eiss

Hebrews spends a lot of time talking about the Priesthood of Jesus. Listen in as I discuss why that idea, which seems foreign to many of us, is so important and so amazing!Oleh Larry Eiss

Circumcision, heart surgery, rebirth. The change God makes in those who trust Jesus is beyond description. Colossians provides some great insight, however.Oleh Larry Eiss

Romans 14 has a lot to say about how to handle behavior some consider questionable. It frames the discussion around meat sacrificed to idols. That was a big deal in Paul's day, not so much in ours. Yet the principles are very applicable to us.Oleh Larry Eiss

There's so much good news for those who are in Christ Jesus. There is comfort and there is security. This study looks at those.Oleh Larry Eiss

Clarity and understanding is so important. When we know the truth, He sets us free.Oleh Larry Eiss
