Hi showmeshelly Good morning. I hope my comment didn't sound as a form of privacy invasion your comment tells of a wonderful woman with a beautiful heart which led me to comment I don't normally write in the comment section but I think you deserve this complement. If you don’t mind can we be friends? Thanks God bless you….🌺🌺🌺
It must be impossible to completely know the word that means "God is all knowing". This word is peacefully humbling and pleases God to no end when one meditates on its wonder.
Shalom pastor apprentice for your teaching God bless you and your ministry form Malaysia small town Call Slim River, Perak Gospel to unreach Malaysia natives God bless you
Pastor Skip, I have enjoyed listening to your expository teaching emphatically who Aposal Paul was before Christ saved him directly. This, for a reason only which Christ had revealed who Apostal Paul is in the Body of His chosen Disciples through His Holy Spirit. I always like Apostal Paul and thank God for saving him, without him the Gospel would have suffered a lot of severe opposition delaying the spreading of the Gospel by His Holy Spirit through vessels who have 100% died to themselves and live for Christ. Am looking forward very much meeting him at the Wedding Banquet.

Thanks Pastor Skip! I try to be in the Word every morning, listening to your teachings as well as taking notes(I've also been through the whole Bible with Chuck Smith, Jon Courson, and The Bible from 30,000 Feet). I love learning the Word and then teaching it to others. We have been to Athens, Corinth, Ephesus, Rome and several of the places where the Apostles have traveled. It's a blessing to have been in those places and it makes studying the Word more enjoyable for me. I like the picture in the background as you are teaching. Where was it taken? It looks like it might have been one of those places. Blessings!

QUESTION…… I have witnessed many times with words, actions, and my life to my family. None of them are believers. Should I keep on witnessing to them, or does this mean that God did not choose them? My heart breaks for them all, my children, my grandchildren, my siblings, everybody.

We are called to witness to people through our living and our loving of them through Christ. You should definitely not give up on them because it takes some longer than we would like to follow Christ. That being said, it is not our responsibility to 'save' them. We must tell them about how Christ has changed our lives and then let the Holy Spirit do the work. We plant the seed, the Spirit waters that seed until they either come to Jesus or make the conscience choice not to. I hope that helps you a little.

Our All-Knowing and ALL Powerful God, chose few godly men to be a channel of blessings like patriarchs, nations, kings, judges, prophets, apostles even our Savior, so that His perfect plan of our eternal salvation can be fulfilled through them. They were chosen even before the creation of the world, while they were in thier mother's womb for a very special tasks and mission for our reconciliation and forgiveness. Chosen unto service, NOT for salvation, so that whosoever will believe the grace and Gift (Jesus) of God through Jesus' total submission and perfect obedience unto death. That great sacrificed once and for all (Gospel), you must believe and it is by faith alone we can be sealed by the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 1:13). It is by our own decision making after hearing, trusting and believing the gospel alone, by God's grace and wisdom.
Ephesians 1:3-12 applies to the Apostles, not the Church in general. Note Eph. 1:12 That We who were the FIRST to hope in Christ . . . By no stretch can you call today's believer the first to hope in Christ. Even the Ephesians are not the first to hope in Christ for they are called 'you also' Eph. 1:13 And when you heard the word of the truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in Christ, you were also sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, Note in Eph. 1:13 Paul switches from first person plural, 'we & us' to second person plural, 'you.' Note in Eph. 1:8 which he lavished upon us, along with all wisdom and understanding. Compare to Eph 1:17 I pray that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, MAY give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation as you come to know him. Note the 'us & we" of vs 3-12 have already been lavished with all wisdom and understanding, while the Ephesian Church Paul prayed for that they MAY get wisdom. We can see from Paul's words that Vs. 3-12 do not apply to the Ephesian Church, let alone us. Those verses apply to the Apostles.
Those studying the word need to know the context and setting of events to understand why certain things were done and said. Ignoring Bibles’s history, you are setting yourself up to mis interpretation. After all, pastor Skip did open video - stating this was Bible study

It must be impossible to completely know the word that means "God is all knowing". This word is peacefully humbling and pleases God to no end when one meditates on its wonder.

God bless🙌🙌🙌
Thank you pastor skip im learning alot from your teaching amen
Pastor Skip, I have enjoyed listening to your expository teaching emphatically who Aposal Paul was before Christ saved him directly. This, for a reason only which Christ had revealed who Apostal Paul is in the Body of His chosen Disciples through His Holy Spirit. I always like Apostal Paul and thank God for saving him, without him the Gospel would have suffered a lot of severe opposition delaying the spreading of the Gospel by His Holy Spirit through vessels who have 100% died to themselves and live for Christ. Am looking forward very much meeting him at the Wedding Banquet.

Thanks Pastor Skip! I try to be in the Word every morning, listening to your teachings as well as taking notes(I've also been through the whole Bible with Chuck Smith, Jon Courson, and The Bible from 30,000 Feet). I love learning the Word and then teaching it to others. We have been to Athens, Corinth, Ephesus, Rome and several of the places where the Apostles have traveled. It's a blessing to have been in those places and it makes studying the Word more enjoyable for me. I like the picture in the background as you are teaching. Where was it taken? It looks like it might have been one of those places. Blessings!
Amen

24 And at the harvests you shall give a fifth to Pharaoh, and four fifth shall be your own, as seed for the field and as food for yourselves and your households, and as food for your little ones."
25 And they said, " You have saved our lives; may it please my lord, we will be servants to Pharaoh.26 So Joseph made it a statue concerning the land of Egypt, and it stands to this day, that Pharaoh should have the fifth, the land of priests alone
not become Pharaoh's." ( Genesis 47:23-26 ESV Study Bible)

QUESTION…… I have witnessed many times with words, actions, and my life to my family. None of them are believers. Should I keep on witnessing to them, or does this mean that God did not choose them? My heart breaks for them all, my children, my grandchildren, my siblings, everybody.

We are called to witness to people through our living and our loving of them through Christ. You should definitely not give up on them because it takes some longer than we would like to follow Christ. That being said, it is not our responsibility to 'save' them. We must tell them about how Christ has changed our lives and then let the Holy Spirit do the work. We plant the seed, the Spirit waters that seed until they either come to Jesus or make the conscience choice not to. I hope that helps you a little.

3
" Listen😊❤
Behold😊❤,
a sower😊❤
went out 😊❤ ( you might ask what did the sower went out to do? )
to sow😊❤.
4 And as he( the sower😊❤ ) sowed( that is his job he sowed😊❤),
some seed( God's words😊❤)
fell along the path,
and the birds( these " birds" are no good, the devil ) came and devoured it.
5 other seed ( God's words😊❤) fell on rocky ground, where it did not have much soil( Do you also know that a plant need, good soil, right amount or water, right amount of sunlight, enough space and God's timing to grow too in Christ😊❤
? Since it doesn't have soil so ), and immediately( " immediately😊❤ " right away in Mark😊❤'s language " Immediately😊❤") it sprang up, since
it had
no depth ( you might no depth of what?)
of soil. ( i told us a plant need good depth of soil too to grow right😊❤?)
6 And when the sun( " sun" gives sunlight right😊❤?) rose, it was scorched, and since it has not root( "root"😊❤ support the plant above okay. "...Since it has no root."( from Mark 4:6 middle of the verse) what do you think will happen when it has no root?)
it withered away.
7 Other seed fell among thorns, and the thorns grews up and chocked it, and it yielded no grain.
8 And other seeds fell into good soil 😊❤ and produces grain😊❤,
growing😊❤ up😊❤ and increasing😊❤ and yielding😊❤ thirtyfold( 30 times) and sixtyfold( 60 times) and a hundredfold( 100 times) ."
9 And he( Jesus😊1st❤) said, " He 😊❤ who😊❤ has😊❤ ears😊❤
to hear😊❤
,
let him😊❤
hear😊❤." " ( Mark 4:1-9 ESV Study Bible all parenthesis parts and symbols in Christ also for and in Christ Jesus😊1st❤. I assume every who is human has two ears unless for exceptional cases. So Jesus 😊1st❤ our Lord and our savior in Christ ( Jesus😊1st❤)
is giving❤😊
an invitation to whoever who has ears to let him😊❤
hear😊❤. Or Mark 4:9 The Bible😊❤ said😊❤,

"13 Now there was no food in all the land, for the famine was very severe, so that the land of Egypt and the land of Canaan languished by reason of the famime.
14 And Joseph gathered up all the money that was found in the land of Egypt and in the land of Canaan, in exchange for the grain that they bought. And Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh's house.
15 And when the money was all spent in the land of Egypt and in the land of Canaan, all the Egyptians came to Joseph and said, " Give us food. Why should we die before your eyes? For our money is gone."
16 Joseph answered,
" Give your livestock, and I will give you food in exchange for your livestock,
if your money is gone."
17 So they brought their livestock to Joseph, and Joseph gave them food in exchange for the horses,
the flocks,
the herds, and the donkeys.
He supplied them with food in exchange for all their livestock that year.
18 And when that year ended, they came to him the following year and said to him,
" We will not hide from our lord that our money is all spent. The herds of livestock are my lord's. There is nothing left in the sight of my lord but our bodies and our land.
19 Why should we die before your eyes, both we and our land?
Buy us and our land for food, and we with our land will be servants to Pharaoh. And give us seed that we may live and not die, and that the land may not be desolate." "( Genesis 47:13-19 ESV Study Bible)

" To you has been given😊❤ the secret of the kingdom 😊❤

"Do you not understand this parables?

14 The sower😊❤ sows the word😊❤( God's word😊❤)
15And these are ones along the path, where the word is sown: when they hear, Satan(no good) immediately comes and takes away the word that is sown in them.
16 And these are the ones sown on rocky ground: the ones who, when they hear the word( God's word😊❤), immediately receive it with joy.
17 And they have no root in themselves , but endure for a while; then, when tribulation or persecution arise on account of the word( God's word😊❤

Our All-Knowing and ALL Powerful God, chose few godly men to be a channel of blessings like patriarchs, nations, kings, judges, prophets, apostles even our Savior, so that His perfect plan of our eternal salvation can be fulfilled through them.
They were chosen even before the creation of the world, while they were in thier mother's womb for a very special tasks and mission for our reconciliation and forgiveness. Chosen unto service, NOT for salvation, so that whosoever will believe the grace and Gift (Jesus) of God through Jesus' total submission and perfect obedience unto death. That great sacrificed once and for all (Gospel), you must believe and it is by faith alone we can be sealed by the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 1:13).
It is by our own decision making after hearing, trusting and believing the gospel alone, by God's grace and wisdom.
☝️👌
There is no mention of a horse.
Ephesians 1:3-12 applies to the Apostles, not the Church in general.
Note Eph. 1:12 That We who were the FIRST to hope in Christ . . .
By no stretch can you call today's believer the first to hope in Christ.
Even the Ephesians are not the first to hope in Christ for they are called 'you also'
Eph. 1:13 And when you heard the word of the truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in Christ, you were also sealed with the promised Holy Spirit,
Note in Eph. 1:13 Paul switches from first person plural, 'we & us' to second person plural, 'you.'
Note in Eph. 1:8 which he lavished upon us, along with all wisdom and understanding.
Compare to Eph 1:17 I pray that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, MAY give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation as you come to know him.
Note the 'us & we" of vs 3-12 have already been lavished with all wisdom and understanding, while the Ephesian Church Paul prayed for that they MAY get wisdom.
We can see from Paul's words that Vs. 3-12 do not apply to the Ephesian Church, let alone us. Those verses apply to the Apostles.
Hey Skip!
Honestly, is it even possible to steal a Bible??? I mean really!
Hernandez Matthew Lewis Melissa Lopez Amy
The Calvinist doctrine debunked, I never did agree with that teachings.thank you for this great message of God chooses. Us
Too much introduction,bored I'm out of here,came for teaching not a history lesson.
Those studying the word need to know the context and setting of events to understand why certain things were done and said. Ignoring Bibles’s history, you are setting yourself up to mis interpretation. After all, pastor Skip did open video - stating this was Bible study
