I remember my dad asked a question about a certain passage in the Bible and everyone laught at him. It made him feel so bad i remember the walk home he was crying and was deeply effected by it he never asked a question again. He passed away back in 2016 and he loved his Bible deeply and tought me everything he knew about it. If your a pastor in a church just listen to what everyone has to say or question dont laugh at them take them seriously.
💎THE GOSPEL OF THE WORD OF ALMIGHTY GOD "the last age in which God saves man from the destruction of this old world" (This may be a reminder for most people of God's words from Genesis: "Let us make man in our image, according to our likeness." Suppose God is saying that "let us" make man in "our " picture, then "ours" shows two or more; since He said "ours," then God is not only one. In this way, man begins to think generally of different persons, and from these words came the idea of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. At the time Moses wrote Genesis, was after the creation of mankind following the creation of the world. In the beginning, when the world, Moses did not exist yet. And it was a long time before Moses wrote the Bible, so how could he possibly know what God said in heaven? He was unaware of how God created the world. What is written in the Old Testament is the work of Jehovah, a phase of the work of God Himself for ushering in the Age of Law. This is the work of God, where as He spoke, it happened, and as He commanded, it remained. When all is said and done, whether it is the Father or the Son, They are one Spirit, not divided into separate persons. When man speaks of separate persons, does it not reflect God? Jehovah is the Spirit, and also a substance of Jesus. Doesn't the Spirit of God simply carry out the work of the Spirit from different perspectives?" Because of this, there is no distinction between persons.) Almighty God said This can be a REMINDER for most PEOPLE of GOD'S WORDS from GENESIS: "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness." Suppose GOD says "we" will CREATE MAN in "our" IMAGE, then "we" SHOWS TWO or MORE; since He SAID "we," then GOD is NOT one. IN THIS WAY, MAN BEGAN TO THINK GENERALLY OF DIFFERENT PERSONS, AND FROM THESE WORDS HAD THE IDEA OF THE FATHER, THE SON, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT. What then does the Father look like? What does the Son look like? And what does the Holy Spirit look like? ☀️🙏 Could it be that the present man was made in the image of the one who was put together from the three? Then is the image of man like that of the Father, the Son, or the Holy Spirit? 🙏 WHICH of the persons of GOD is the image of MAN? This idea of MAN is ABSOLUTELY WRONG and NONSENSE! It can only separate one God from several Gods. 🙏 AT THE TIME Moses WROTE GENESIS, it was AFTER MANKIND WAS CREATED AFTER THE CREATION OF THE WORLD. In the BEGINNING, when the WORLD began, Moses did NOT exist. And IT TOOK A LONG TIME FOR MOSES TO WRITE THE BIBLE, so HOW could he possibly KNOW WHAT GOD SAID in HEAVEN?🙏☀️ He is UNCONSCIOUS of HOW GOD CREATED THE WORLD. 🙏 In the OLD TESTAMENT of the Bible, there is NO mention of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, only the TRUE GOD, JEHOVAH, is PERFORMING His WORK in ISRAEL. ☀️ He is CALLED by different NAMES in the CHANGING TIMES, but this DOESN'T PROVE that each NAME REFERES to a different PERSON. Therefore, then wouldn't there be countless persons of God? What is WRITTEN in the OLD TESTAMENT is the WORK of JEHOVAH, A PHASE of the WORK of GOD HIMSELF for the START of the Age of Law. This is GOD'S WORK, where ACCORDING to what He SPOKE, it happened, and ACCORDING to what He commanded, it REMAINS. 🙏💐 AT NO TIME DID JEHOVAH SAY HE WAS THE FATHER WHO WOULD COME TO EFFECT THE WORK, or did He even foretell the coming of the Son to redeem mankind. WHEN IT CAME TO THE TIME OF JESUS, it was only mentioned that GOD became MAN to REDEEM ALL MANKIND, NOT that the SON CAME. ☀️ Because the times are not the same and the work that God Himself carries out is also different, He has to carry out His work within different kingdoms. In this way, the identity He represents is also different. PEOPLE BELIEVE JEHOVAH IS THE FATHER OF JESUS, but JESUS DOESN'T REALLY ACKNOWLEDGE, saying: "We were never identified as Father and Son; I and the Father in heaven are one. The Father is in Me and I am in the Father; when men see the Son, they see the Father in heaven." ☀️😪 When all is said and done, whether it is the Father or the Son, They are one Spirit, not divided into separate persons. By the time man attempts to explain, matters are complicated by the idea of different persons, as well as the relationship between Father, Son, and Spirit. WHEN MAN TALKS ABOUT separate persons, does it not reflect GOD? 🙏🔅 Man even ranks persons as first, second, and third; these are all mere human understandings, unworthy of reference, and utterly unreal! If you ask him: "How many are there in God?" He will say that God is the Trinity of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit: the one true God. If you ask him: "Who is the Father?" He will say: The Father is the Spirit of God in heaven; He rules over all, and He is the Lord of heaven." "Then is Jehovah the Spirit?" ☀️ He will say: "Yes!" If you ask him afterwards, "Who is the Son?" He will say that Jesus is the Son, anyway: "Then what is the story of Jesus? From whom did He come?" He will say: "Jesus was born of Mary through the shadowing of the Holy Spirit. " ☀️ "Then is not His substance also Spirit? Does His work also represent the Holy Spirit? Jehovah is the Spirit, and also a substance of Jesus. Now in the last days, it goes without saying that the Spirit still works; how did He become different persons? Doesn't the Spirit of God just carry out the work of the Spirit from different perspectives? Because of this, there is no difference between personas. 🙏 From "Is There a Trinity?" Fulfilled in "In the beginning He was the Word, the Word was with God, and the Word was God" (John 1:1). ... and "When I looked up, someone handed me a book wrapped in a scroll. I opened it and I read on both sides the prayers, lamentations, and curses." (Ezekiel 2:9-10). ... "His garment was stained with blood. He was called the "Word of God" (Rev. 19:13).

And fulfillment of "The New Jerusalem" 💫 "The Spirit enveloped me, and the angel led me to the top of a very high mountain. He showed Me Jerusalem, the Holy City, coming down from heaven from God." (Rev. 3:7-13). ... " For the time has come in the house of God for the beginning of judgment in the house of God." (1 Peter 4:17). ... It is fulfilled that God Himself is our Pastor in (Rev. 7:17) 💐 "For the Lamb in the midst of the throne will be their PASTOR. He will lead them to springs of life-giving water; and God will wipe away the tears from their eyes" 📩 Calling and leading the sheep of God to His glorious Throne "THE CHURCH OF ALMIGHTY GOD"💐 to submit again to His authority so that He will continue to teach, guide and protect even in plague, famine and wild animals will not be moved by it and completely win this final battle with the big red dragon! "They say with a loud voice, "Salvation comes from the Lamb, and from our God who sits on the Throne!" (Rev. 7:10). ... and it will be fulfilled that will be established above the sky/TH-cam in (Isaiah 2: 2 / 9:6) "On the Last Day, the mountain on which Jehovah's temple stands will stand out above all the mountains. All nations will flock there. " . . . "For a baby boy is born to us. The rule will be given to him; and he shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Almighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace."📩📨
Your dad sounds like he knew far more about the Bible than that pastor. I have never met a pastor, priest, bishop, or minister that has ever read their Bible cover to cover. They are taught and preach their doctrines rather than our Father’s. To them the Bible is just a prop to wave for $ and not the bread of life.
Your videos are always so informative, never contentious - Roman Catholic scripture readings are also on a 3-year cycle - The priest or deacon delivers a short homily relating to the content of the scriptures previously read aloud by the readers at the ambo - The entire service is an unbroken prayer alternating between priest and congregation - I once attended a church that dedicated 30 min before mass where those who chose to attend could share their reflections on the readings, discuss, etc. - Works well with small groups -
I went to a non denomination church as a child and our pastor did something similar. He read the bible for 1/3, did a relate that scripture to present sermon for 1/3, then had a congregation Q&A type thing for all ages. That was a time too when families often had one bible that we would gather and listen to one person read and it held also important information like births, deaths, etc. It then was passed down.
Sounds great! I hardly ever get answers to questions or application to current world situations & how to address issues. Seems like a select few get discipled or mentored.
This is so good. I am going to apply the part of reading the scriptures, Getting a reflection and allowing the community to engage with the scriptures. Woo. Thank you Brandon
you just described the bible study I'm blessed to be part of. On Saturday mornings read the Sunday readings for the week (Catholic lectionary schedule) and talk about the words in a group circle. Its a wonderful experience that I do wish more people would join in though.
Sitting under your instruction has *vastly* changed my life-all for the better, to God’s glory and my benefit. Thank you for digging deep, enthusiastically teaching, and faithfully sharing the truths (whether scriptural insights or historical facts). May God be praised and you be blessed in this faithful ministry!
Thank you, Brandon. Back when I actually _enjoyed_ going to Church (there is a not-so-subtle message "hidden" in my opening line), we had three separate "things" to attend: 1.) A Worship Service when the pastor or member read a scriptural passage, then the pastor would preach a sermon adding detail, interpretation and application. 2.) Fellowship Hall where we congregated to visit with one another over coffee, tea, hot chocolate and a pastry. 3.) Adult (or children's) Sunday School classes that were very much like what you said at the end of this video. Often, there were additional services or events during the week. Praising God seemed to flow naturally from all that. In my opinion, "church attendance" should encompass four elements: 1) Reading/hearing God's Word, 2) Education ie: studying and learning more about the Father, Son and Holy Spirit and our Christian "walk", 3) Fellowship with other Christians and 4) Service (helping the church, its members and missions). Yes. I very much miss those days. Soli Deo Gloria!
Randy, I am so sorry that you are missing out on all of those wonderful things. I am so blessed to be a part of a wonderful God fearing, Bible preaching church. We do all of those things and we love each other and everyone in our community is welcome. I don't know where you are but if you ever make it to Jacksonville Alabama, come visit us at Westpoint Baptist Church. We would love to have you. God bless you 🙏
@@GaGentz Thank you for that, Gabriela. It means a lot even if I'm several states away. Through the years, I've found and participated in several very fruitful home bible study groups. Most of the churches I've tried, though, have been disappointing. (I know churches are really "the people" and no person, other than Jesus Himself, is perfect --- _especially me.)_ I helped my mom and dad (died 4 and 2 years ago at the ages of 95 and 97 respectively) attend church in their final years. They had a wonderful pair of pastors and congregation, but, when the pandemic which-cannot-be-named began - and isolation set in at their assisted living home - their church members began going "woke" and, eventually split in two. The "woke" ones forced those pastors out and took over the building and everything. M&D lived 100+ miles away in a neighboring state so that wasn't "my" church, but it still hurts!! My own church dwindled severely in size, brought in a new pastor who just doesn't seem sincere, frequently says OMG from the pulpit, and well, I'm just not interested in that. I grew up in the Methodist and the Wesleyan denominations and had generational roots in them but my "old" college church was a magnificent Baptist Church. It breaks my heart when I watch so many mainline denominations self destruct. Now, I simply more introverted than ever and too exhausted to attend a couple dozen churches hoping to find a good Bible believing / preaching / worshiping church so, I fellowship on line for what that's worth! I'm still "fed." Again, THANK YOU for speaking up with your invite! That helps immensely -- far more than you could know!
@@randy-9842 I'm so sorry you lost your parents. I know how that feels.😥 Please, know that I will pray for you to find a church family that embraces you with love and the truth of God's word. I never knew in my younger days what God's love really was until I found Jesus. I never knew how important it is to fellowship with other Christians. My church family is wonderful. A few years ago, before I became a member there, a tornado destroyed the church building. Worship took place in the lunchroom of a local school every Sunday. During that time, I became so disillusioned with my current church that I decided to leave. God led me to West Point Baptist Church and the wonderful preaching of Pastor Ronny Moore. I've been a member there for about 3 years now. During Covid we were forced not to meet physically but we had church through TH-cam and we did our bible study through zoom. We weren't about to be separated from each other for long. Our new church building was completed a little over a year ago maybe longer and I am so happy to say that we keep growing. We have two services, and the second service is usually recorded live every Sunday on Facebook. Check it out if you can. Brother Rick is also a wonderful preacher. He has been filling in while Bro. Ronny is out after having surgery. I get such a blessing from being a part of this loving church. The Holy Spirit's presence is so powerful sometimes, it overwhelms me. I feel like I finally am where I belong. We had several folks travel to Honduras to help put a roof on a church, we have so many loving people willing to give their time and give a hand to those in need. I know there have to be lots of people that love God and want to do His will. Now is the time to get together and spread that love and the truth of God's Word because this world is stuck in the Evil cycle and our only hope is our Lord & Savior, Jesus Christ. I know we are not perfect, but I am ever so grateful for our merciful forgiving God. Randy, I will pray for you and I will ask my church family to pray for God to lead you. Everyone deserves a loving church home. God bless you!!
@@GaGentz Thanks. They had good long lives and were staunch Christians, so I'm comfortable knowing they've already met Jesus. We've just lost too many of that generation and many of them too recently. That was really more to the point I was attempting. It adds up when the world needs them the most and you can almost feel the Restrainer withdrawing as we watch. But --- God is, and always has been, in control. Yours sounds like a great church. I know they're around but the task of sorting the tares out of the wheat can be daunting. Truly, thanks. God bless you and your church and, _always,_ keep looking up. Maranatha!
Actually what you describe is what takes place in our mid-week home groups each week where people have a chance to read and discuss scripture together although often the scripture comes through the medium of video. This is commonplace in the UK.
It would be AMAZING!!! We would learn so much more, things that are ESSENTIAL to our understanding of the Scriptures. I wish our Church leaders would understand this!❤
we do this mid week in smaller groups, discussing bible text we've read beforehand and had a chance to think about, and then discuss, and then pray. Works well!
Jesus worshipped on the day that He said, in the 10 words, to remember and keep holy. You cannot make the first or any other day holy - God did that already.
From the title I assumed that something would be said about the day that Jesus worshipped. I find in Scripture that He worshipped on God's true Sabbath that God made Holy at creation.
None of the churches in my town even have this anymore, and most have done away with the Wednesday evening Bible study, too. Sunday morning services are all they have now. 😢
Another words what I'm hearing you say is that you would like for our worship services to be conducted more along the lines of a Bible study where it's free flowing between whoever is leading the Bible study and the rest of the people that have gathered to study the Bible. I think that's a marvelous idea I would love to do that I love to listen and I love to teach.
I believe this is what led Paul to instruct the Corinthians (and the church universal) to encourage full participation in their gatherings. Each member, being a vital part of the body, was to share the expression of Christ in them. Talk about making disciples!. The body disciples the body. As it was designed. We're experiencing Him in this manner in our small home gatherings. I could never go back to the man built, personality driven, spectator services of the westernized church.
I got your "10 Words" book, and I find it interesting. I also shared it with an American Christian friend who speaks Hebrew and has a few years in the Holy Land as a missionary. She was really impressed with your book. Thank you!
Dang. Hearing this really scratched a metaphorical itch I had for what I always felt a sermon should be like. Heck for how the whole church/synagogue should be.
Since I started studying the Torah (heavily), I gotta say: (1) I've learned more about God (Yahweh) & His character, (2) How to be obedient & to be His servant (boy, this is a process...lol...but man I'm trying), (3) God is true to His word, (4) How God is a Father who will discipline His people to shape & mold them into outstanding (yet imperfect) people. (5) God does not change & is the only consistent "thing" we can ever have in our life. ......& so much more ..... Love me some Torah - don't get much of it in today's Christian churches...wish I had a Messianic church in my area. Shalom🌺
So I now understand that we need to get back to basics of the teachings of scriptures. I would thoroughly enjoy and respect church if we held the Word of God to the highest respect of happiness, and to truly engage in talking about what was read that day, like a Q&A. For the community to get together, and be in one accord, holding God our Father in the position that everything comes from Him and through His Son Christ Jesus. Because we are nothing without Him. I truly want this type of worship. I've actually been yearning for this for a long time but can not find people who want the same. Hopefully God will lead me to like minded people of faith. Peace be with you all. 🕊️🕊️🙏🏽🙏🙏🏿🕊️🎚️📜⚖️🕯️⚔️🛡️🥰❤️
No that is some very interesting concepts. And of course like you said they did not have their own personal copy of the scriptures like we do and so it is quite a bit different today, but I like that idea. Now for the funny part. When you said chief seats, at first I thought you said cheap seats. 🤷♂️
In my Catholic church we follow a liturgy…so we all know in advance the order of the Bible readings. All year. We read scripture every single day in the church. Old and New Testament. But what you said is true,-more participation might be good in some circumstances. But then again, our mass is really focused on the Eucharist making Jesus Present at the Consecration. The first part of our mass is the liturgy of the word, which is all scripture, and the second part is the liturgy of the Eucharist, which is the Communion. I know you all do not agree or believe in this, but I’m just sharing what I believe. God bless you and thank you. I love all you ever say, and do, Brandon.
Some great thought provoking concepts. More like many of the old Sunday School classes. More dialog than monologue, etc. One church we attended, the Sunday School class was a review and discussion of the previous weeks sermon.
that's how we conduct our worship service. believers ask questions and also give opinions. there's self reflections and also experiences encountered are shared. thanks.
We're so used to being more or less comfortable during our religious services, sitting in pews, that it is instructive to think people back then had to sit on the floor. Obviously, if that's what one is used to, it's no bid deal. Now in my 70's, I would definitely have preferred sitting on one of those steps.
1 Corinthians 14:26, “How is it then brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying.” Thank you for this informative video! ❤

In collge we had "Diologuue Homilies" during a weekday mass, on Wednesdays, I think.. Instead of being in the Sanctuary, we met in a smaller room, sat on the floor and the priest started his homily (sermon) then invited comments. It was great! Occasionally I've seen a little of that since, but not to the extent of those days. I WOULD love to see more of it again. I'd even sit on the floor. I don't know how many in my age would join me there, but I would.
Brandon, our online lessons are similar: We get to add our voices here. (I look forward to your lessons!! I truly learn from you, and that is a treasure.)

Therefore, then wouldn't there be countless persons of God? What is WRITTEN in the OLD TESTAMENT is the WORK of JEHOVAH, A PHASE of the WORK of GOD HIMSELF for the START of the Age of Law. This is GOD'S WORK, where ACCORDING to what He SPOKE, it happened, and ACCORDING to what He commanded, it REMAINS. 🙏💐 AT NO TIME DID JEHOVAH SAY HE WAS THE FATHER WHO WOULD COME TO EFFECT THE WORK, or did He even foretell the coming of the Son to redeem mankind. WHEN IT CAME TO THE TIME OF JESUS, it was only mentioned that GOD became MAN to REDEEM ALL MANKIND, NOT that the SON CAME. ☀️ Because the times are not the same and the work that God Himself carries out is also different, He has to carry out His work within different kingdoms. In this way, the identity He represents is also different. PEOPLE BELIEVE JEHOVAH IS THE FATHER OF JESUS, but JESUS DOESN'T REALLY ACKNOWLEDGE, saying: "We were never identified as Father and Son; I and the Father in heaven are one. The Father is in Me and I am in the Father; when men see the Son, they see the Father in heaven." ☀️😪 When all is said and done, whether it is the Father or the Son, They are one Spirit, not divided into separate persons. By the time man attempts to explain, matters are complicated by the idea of different persons, as well as the relationship between Father, Son, and Spirit. WHEN MAN TALKS ABOUT separate persons, does it not reflect GOD? 🙏🔅 Man even ranks persons as first, second, and third; these are all mere human understandings, unworthy of reference, and utterly unreal! If you ask him: "How many are there in God?" He will say that God is the Trinity of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit: the one true God. If you ask him: "Who is the Father?" He will say: The Father is the Spirit of God in heaven; He rules over all, and He is the Lord of heaven." "Then is Jehovah the Spirit?" ☀️ He will say: "Yes!" If you ask him afterwards, "Who is the Son?" He will say that Jesus is the Son, anyway: "Then what is the story of Jesus? From whom did He come?" He will say: "Jesus was born of Mary through the shadowing of the Holy Spirit. " ☀️ "Then is not His substance also Spirit? Does His work also represent the Holy Spirit? Jehovah is the Spirit, and also a substance of Jesus. Now in the last days, it goes without saying that the Spirit still works; how did He become different persons? Doesn't the Spirit of God just carry out the work of the Spirit from different perspectives? Because of this, there is no difference between personas. 🙏 From "Is There a Trinity?"

Hi Brandon, well this was a surprise. The church I've been in for twenty years has had lots of participation, and I often think we're more like a 'fellowship'. There are only 12 of us now. Others have gone to be with God, or moved on to other churches. But we do have discussions about the Bible and other things. Sometimes I worry we get too inwardly focussed. I would like to learn more about the Bible, and we don't have a minister. We take turns bringing a teaching or message. Which is why I so enjoy your expositions on Bible context and history. I also love Ps. Mike Winger's videos. I'm on Chapter 13 of his series on the book of Romans. Thanks for all you do!
From one shepherd to another Pastor Robbins I think you are a gifted teacher of the Word. I love how break things down. I check them and you are spot on.
I won't go into my other comment to add but things like the baths before they entered the synagogues and things like that that makes it clear that we're supposed to clean up before we come to church you know that's where we got that idea I find that incredibly fascinating that there is actually reasons or teachings that help us understand WHAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE important REASONS to clean up and go to church!!✝️😁
It is the connection between us, the shared idea, that inspires the mind and stirs the heart to action--No thing that is untrue may pass through the heart. The people of that time knew this, whether it came to them inherently or was passed from one generation to the next. I don't yet fully understand why the veil, the shadow, of ignorance fell over the world soon after. Perhaps, we aren't meant to know at this time... or maybe you'll figure it out, Brandon. You have the gift of tongues as it was understood back in the day. Stay humble and your gift will continue to light up lives. I appreciate you and your work, and I look forward to the next video.
Wow, thanks for this video. It is encouraging and a reminder to me personally of my relationship with Jesus during worship at church and at home in my car or where ever. Scriptures just flow when your heart opens up to complete surrender and humility. Humbling myself and be thankful for all His goodness and blessings over us. God Bless 😊
I've thought about a form of bible study or Sunday school where the point is the conversation. A person reads a passage until someone has a thought they want to share. They share it, people respond and you have a conversation. This goes on until people are through talking and you continue with the reading. This would be applicable to scripture or theological books about the scripture.
What you describe near the end - sharing, discussing - actually sounds a lot like a weekly Bible study and prayer meeting. We just don't do that in the main, Sunday service, when there may be too many people for it to be practical. Think of passing the mic around all over the auditorium.
In our fellowship of about 275 we have kids who are "mic runners." We read a chapter of the scriptures at a time and then whoever wants to comment can. We read from the Torah, the Prophets, and the Gospels. This part lasts for about two hours. There is no sermon by a pastor. We meet twice a month, the other two weeks are in people's houses. This is a common practice for messianic type fellowships.
While it would be nice to bring back some old parts of worship into church, such as dancing while singing praises to the Lord, other parts can’t go back to the way they once were. As you said, most people didn’t have a Bible at home in Ancient Times and so hearing scripture read to them every week was a treat and joy. Today we can read the Bible any time we want, and so it would be boring to hear someone reading scripture for 30 minutes. When times change, so does worship.
I like when you mention how Jesus Christ teach with full engagement to congregation. Today It's so unfortunate we just hear sermon from preacher and hearing so many what they thought. And never goes deeper reflection what bible words is. That's why I loved how Jesus Christ my Lord always teach with Q&A so the listener have full engagement with teaching to
There are four scriptures read at the Sunnday mass: one from OT, then a Psalm, followed one in the NT, not the Goapel, then a reading from one of the Gospels. In the daily masses three readings, including a Gospel is read.
How wonderful would it be if we could interact with the leaders. I guess that’s what Sunday school is for but I’d prefer to speak with the Paster. Thanks Brandon
Their congregations were much smaller, weren’t they? I find this quite the food for thought, as I always do with your podcasts. You are one of my favorites. We do this basically in our church small group studies. Knowing all the heresies of our culture, I can’t see it working today. It would be a free for all. What do others think?
I agree. In my earlier comment I described doing this in collge on a weekday. We were probably only about 25- 30 students in attendance, which was manageable.
The apistle Paul instruction for how the church is to function, but very few adhere to those instructions. An example is 1 Cor 14:26, 'What should you do then, brothers and sisters? When you come together, each one has a song, has a lesson, has a revelation, has a tongue, has an interpretation. Let all these things be done for the strengthening of the church.' The reason most churches don't adhere to Paul's instructions is because of church tradition that was handed down by the false institution of the Catholic church, the progenitor of Christendom.
I remember my dad asked a question about a certain passage in the Bible and everyone laught at him. It made him feel so bad i remember the walk home he was crying and was deeply effected by it he never asked a question again. He passed away back in 2016 and he loved his Bible deeply and tought me everything he knew about it. If your a pastor in a church just listen to what everyone has to say or question dont laugh at them take them seriously.
💎THE GOSPEL OF THE WORD OF ALMIGHTY GOD "the last age in which God saves man from the destruction of this old world"
(This may be a reminder for most people of God's words from Genesis: "Let us make man in our image, according to our likeness." Suppose God is saying that "let us" make man in "our " picture, then "ours" shows two or more; since He said "ours," then God is not only one. In this way, man begins to think generally of different persons, and from these words came the idea of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. At the time Moses wrote Genesis, was after the creation of mankind following the creation of the world. In the beginning, when the world, Moses did not exist yet. And it was a long time before Moses wrote the Bible, so how could he possibly know what God said in heaven? He was unaware of how God created the world. What is written in the Old Testament is the work of Jehovah, a phase of the work of God Himself for ushering in the Age of Law. This is the work of God, where as He spoke, it happened, and as He commanded, it remained. When all is said and done, whether it is the Father or the Son, They are one Spirit, not divided into separate persons. When man speaks of separate persons, does it not reflect God? Jehovah is the Spirit, and also a substance of Jesus. Doesn't the Spirit of God simply carry out the work of the Spirit from different perspectives?" Because of this, there is no distinction between persons.)
Almighty God said
This can be a REMINDER for most PEOPLE of GOD'S WORDS from GENESIS: "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness." Suppose GOD says "we" will CREATE MAN in "our" IMAGE, then "we" SHOWS TWO or MORE; since He SAID "we," then GOD is NOT one. IN THIS WAY, MAN BEGAN TO THINK GENERALLY OF DIFFERENT PERSONS, AND FROM THESE WORDS HAD THE IDEA OF THE FATHER, THE SON, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT. What then does the Father look like? What does the Son look like? And what does the Holy Spirit look like? ☀️🙏
Could it be that the present man was made in the image of the one who was put together from the three? Then is the image of man like that of the Father, the Son, or the Holy Spirit? 🙏
WHICH of the persons of GOD is the image of MAN? This idea of MAN is ABSOLUTELY WRONG and NONSENSE! It can only separate one God from several Gods. 🙏
AT THE TIME Moses WROTE GENESIS, it was AFTER MANKIND WAS CREATED AFTER THE CREATION OF THE WORLD. In the BEGINNING, when the WORLD began, Moses did NOT exist. And IT TOOK A LONG TIME FOR MOSES TO WRITE THE BIBLE, so HOW could he possibly KNOW WHAT GOD SAID in HEAVEN?🙏☀️
He is UNCONSCIOUS of HOW GOD CREATED THE WORLD. 🙏
In the OLD TESTAMENT of the Bible, there is NO mention of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, only the TRUE GOD, JEHOVAH, is PERFORMING His WORK in ISRAEL. ☀️

This is GOD'S WORK, where ACCORDING to what He SPOKE, it happened, and ACCORDING to what He commanded, it REMAINS. 🙏💐
AT NO TIME DID JEHOVAH SAY HE WAS THE FATHER WHO WOULD COME TO EFFECT THE WORK, or did He even foretell the coming of the Son to redeem mankind. WHEN IT CAME TO THE TIME OF JESUS, it was only mentioned that GOD became MAN to REDEEM ALL MANKIND, NOT that the SON CAME. ☀️
Because the times are not the same and the work that God Himself carries out is also different, He has to carry out His work within different kingdoms. In this way, the identity He represents is also different. PEOPLE BELIEVE JEHOVAH IS THE FATHER OF JESUS, but JESUS DOESN'T REALLY ACKNOWLEDGE, saying: "We were never identified as Father and Son; I and the Father in heaven are one.

Your dad sounds like he knew far more about the Bible than that pastor. I have never met a pastor, priest, bishop, or minister that has ever read their Bible cover to cover. They are taught and preach their doctrines rather than our Father’s. To them the Bible is just a prop to wave for $ and not the bread of life.
Holy Spirit give us discernment. Open our eyes to the truth and protect us from the taunts of the devil. Amen.
Your videos are always so informative, never contentious - Roman Catholic scripture readings are also on a 3-year cycle - The priest or deacon delivers a short homily relating to the content of the scriptures previously read aloud by the readers at the ambo - The entire service is an unbroken prayer alternating between priest and congregation - I once attended a church that dedicated 30 min before mass where those who chose to attend could share their reflections on the readings, discuss, etc. - Works well with small groups -
This is very close to our Shabbat every Friday night at my house.
I found a place that worship like this it’s a Messianic Temple. It’s way different from anything I’m used to, but I absolutely love it.
I wish I found a place like this. I follow a messianic service online, but I wish I could actually attend in person.
We found the same thing. We drive 8 hrs (one way) to attend once a month In Person and then watch Online the other weeks.
I went to a non denomination church as a child and our pastor did something similar. He read the bible for 1/3, did a relate that scripture to present sermon for 1/3, then had a congregation Q&A type thing for all ages. That was a time too when families often had one bible that we would gather and listen to one person read and it held also important information like births, deaths, etc. It then was passed down.
Excellent !.
Sounds like a good Church.
You can still buy Family Bibles like that, a wonderful thing for any Christian family.
@@nor0845 Jesus wroste god he didn't heal a cne my head ache reduced when I listen shiva
Sounds great! I hardly ever get answers to questions or application to current world situations & how to address issues. Seems like a select few get discipled or mentored.
This is so good. I am going to apply the part of reading the scriptures, Getting a reflection and allowing the community to engage with the scriptures. Woo. Thank you Brandon
you just described the bible study I'm blessed to be part of. On Saturday mornings read the Sunday readings for the week (Catholic lectionary schedule) and talk about the words in a group circle. Its a wonderful experience that I do wish more people would join in though.
Sitting under your instruction has *vastly* changed my life-all for the better, to God’s glory and my benefit. Thank you for digging deep, enthusiastically teaching, and faithfully sharing the truths (whether scriptural insights or historical facts).
May God be praised and you be blessed in this faithful ministry!
I’ve had this experience in several Messianic Synagogues, but I didn’t realize it was such an old custom to dance at the presentation of the Torah!
You right, I wish my church all dialogued about the scriptures together and engaged in them.
Thank you, Brandon.
Back when I actually _enjoyed_ going to Church (there is a not-so-subtle message "hidden" in my opening line), we had three separate "things" to attend:
1.) A Worship Service when the pastor or member read a scriptural passage, then the pastor would preach a sermon adding detail, interpretation and application.
2.) Fellowship Hall where we congregated to visit with one another over coffee, tea, hot chocolate and a pastry.
3.) Adult (or children's) Sunday School classes that were very much like what you said at the end of this video. Often, there were additional services or events during the week. Praising God seemed to flow naturally from all that.
In my opinion, "church attendance" should encompass four elements: 1) Reading/hearing God's Word, 2) Education ie: studying and learning more about the Father, Son and Holy Spirit and our Christian "walk", 3) Fellowship with other Christians and 4) Service (helping the church, its members and missions).
Yes. I very much miss those days.
Soli Deo Gloria!
Randy, I am so sorry that you are missing out on all of those wonderful things. I am so blessed to be a part of a wonderful God fearing, Bible preaching church. We do all of those things and we love each other and everyone in our community is welcome. I don't know where you are but if you ever make it to Jacksonville Alabama, come visit us at Westpoint Baptist Church. We would love to have you. God bless you 🙏
@@GaGentz Thank you for that, Gabriela. It means a lot even if I'm several states away. Through the years, I've found and participated in several very fruitful home bible study groups. Most of the churches I've tried, though, have been disappointing. (I know churches are really "the people" and no person, other than Jesus Himself, is perfect --- _especially me.)_
I helped my mom and dad (died 4 and 2 years ago at the ages of 95 and 97 respectively) attend church in their final years. They had a wonderful pair of pastors and congregation, but, when the pandemic which-cannot-be-named began - and isolation set in at their assisted living home - their church members began going "woke" and, eventually split in two. The "woke" ones forced those pastors out and took over the building and everything. M&D lived 100+ miles away in a neighboring state so that wasn't "my" church, but it still hurts!!
My own church dwindled severely in size, brought in a new pastor who just doesn't seem sincere, frequently says OMG from the pulpit, and well, I'm just not interested in that.
I grew up in the Methodist and the Wesleyan denominations and had generational roots in them but my "old" college church was a magnificent Baptist Church. It breaks my heart when I watch so many mainline denominations self destruct.
Now, I simply more introverted than ever and too exhausted to attend a couple dozen churches hoping to find a good Bible believing / preaching / worshiping church so, I fellowship on line for what that's worth! I'm still "fed."
Again, THANK YOU for speaking up with your invite! That helps immensely -- far more than you could know!
@@randy-9842 I'm so sorry you lost your parents. I know how that feels.😥 Please, know that I will pray for you to find a church family that embraces you with love and the truth of God's word. I never knew in my younger days what God's love really was until I found Jesus. I never knew how important it is to fellowship with other Christians. My church family is wonderful.
A few years ago, before I became a member there, a tornado destroyed the church building. Worship took place in the lunchroom of a local school every Sunday. During that time, I became so disillusioned with my current church that I decided to leave.
God led me to West Point Baptist Church and the wonderful preaching of Pastor Ronny Moore. I've been a member there for about 3 years now. During Covid we were forced not to meet physically but we had church through TH-cam and we did our bible study through zoom. We weren't about to be separated from each other for long.
Our new church building was completed a little over a year ago maybe longer and I am so happy to say that we keep growing. We have two services, and the second service is usually recorded live every Sunday on Facebook. Check it out if you can. Brother Rick is also a wonderful preacher. He has been filling in while Bro. Ronny is out after having surgery. I get such a blessing from being a part of this loving church. The Holy Spirit's presence is so powerful sometimes, it overwhelms me. I feel like I finally am where I belong.
We had several folks travel to Honduras to help put a roof on a church, we have so many loving people willing to give their time and give a hand to those in need. I know there have to be lots of people that love God and want to do His will. Now is the time to get together and spread that love and the truth of God's Word because this world is stuck in the Evil cycle and our only hope is our Lord & Savior, Jesus Christ. I know we are not perfect, but I am ever so grateful for our merciful forgiving God. Randy, I will pray for you and I will ask my church family to pray for God to lead you. Everyone deserves a loving church home. God bless you!!
@@GaGentz Thanks. They had good long lives and were staunch Christians, so I'm comfortable knowing they've already met Jesus. We've just lost too many of that generation and many of them too recently. That was really more to the point I was attempting. It adds up when the world needs them the most and you can almost feel the Restrainer withdrawing as we watch. But --- God is, and always has been, in control.
Yours sounds like a great church. I know they're around but the task of sorting the tares out of the wheat can be daunting.
Truly, thanks. God bless you and your church and, _always,_ keep looking up. Maranatha!
Actually what you describe is what takes place in our mid-week home groups each week where people have a chance to read and discuss scripture together although often the scripture comes through the medium of video. This is commonplace in the UK.
It would be AMAZING!!! We would learn so much more, things that are ESSENTIAL to our understanding of the Scriptures. I wish our Church leaders would understand this!❤
Thank you for your ministry
we do this mid week in smaller groups, discussing bible text we've read beforehand and had a chance to think about, and then discuss, and then pray. Works well!
Jesus worshipped on the day that He said, in the 10 words, to remember and keep holy. You cannot make the first or any other day holy - God did that already.
From the title I assumed that something would be said about the day that Jesus worshipped. I find in Scripture that He worshipped on God's true Sabbath that God made Holy at creation.
That's why I have always loved bible school, the classes held before church. So engaging and more learning
None of the churches in my town even have this anymore, and most have done away with the Wednesday evening Bible study, too. Sunday morning services are all they have now. 😢
Wow , yes and the Sunday and Wednesday nights are also so engaging and teaching , times hv changed
@@debbielicona5030 Hello how are you doing today?
Another words what I'm hearing you say is that you would like for our worship services to be conducted more along the lines of a Bible study where it's free flowing between whoever is leading the Bible study and the rest of the people that have gathered to study the Bible. I think that's a marvelous idea I would love to do that I love to listen and I love to teach.
I believe this is what led Paul to instruct the Corinthians (and the church universal) to encourage full participation in their gatherings. Each member, being a vital part of the body, was to share the expression of Christ in them. Talk about making disciples!. The body disciples the body. As it was designed.
We're experiencing Him in this manner in our small home gatherings. I could never go back to the man built, personality driven, spectator services of the westernized church.
I got your "10 Words" book, and I find it interesting. I also shared it with an American Christian friend who speaks Hebrew and has a few years in the Holy Land as a missionary. She was really impressed with your book. Thank you!
Hello how are you doing today?
Dang. Hearing this really scratched a metaphorical itch I had for what I always felt a sermon should be like. Heck for how the whole church/synagogue should be.
Since I started studying the Torah (heavily), I gotta say:
(1) I've learned more about God (Yahweh) & His character,
(2) How to be obedient & to be His servant (boy, this is a process...lol...but man I'm trying),
(3) God is true to His word,
(4) How God is a Father who will discipline His people to shape & mold them into outstanding (yet imperfect) people.
(5) God does not change & is the only consistent "thing" we can ever have in our life.
......& so much more .....
Love me some Torah - don't get much of it in today's Christian churches...wish I had a Messianic church in my area.
Shalom🌺
Why do you call Gods word «His Word »
Is God a MAN
Does that means he’s human ?
So I now understand that we need to get back to basics of the teachings of scriptures. I would thoroughly enjoy and respect church if we held the Word of God to the highest respect of happiness, and to truly engage in talking about what was read that day, like a Q&A. For the community to get together, and be in one accord, holding God our Father in the position that everything comes from Him and through His Son Christ Jesus. Because we are nothing without Him. I truly want this type of worship. I've actually been yearning for this for a long time but can not find people who want the same. Hopefully God will lead me to like minded people of faith. Peace be with you all. 🕊️🕊️🙏🏽🙏🙏🏿🕊️🎚️📜⚖️🕯️⚔️🛡️🥰❤️
Totally agree. Have only found this on the Internet but long for in person interaction.
No that is some very interesting concepts. And of course like you said they did not have their own personal copy of the scriptures like we do and so it is quite a bit different today, but I like that idea.
Now for the funny part. When you said chief seats, at first I thought you said cheap seats. 🤷♂️
I thought he said "cheat" seats!
As did I (cheap).Finally dawned on me halfway through. 😊
Excellent Word for Home fellowships in Gathering for Corporate worship, study and exhortation as well encourage one another to Glorify Gods Name .
Great video. I can honestly say that I wish my church had the type of interaction you spoke of. It sounds amazing
In my Catholic church we follow a liturgy…so we all know in advance the order of the Bible readings. All year.
We read scripture every single day in the church. Old and New Testament.
But what you said is true,-more participation might be good in some circumstances.
But then again, our mass is really focused on the Eucharist making Jesus Present at the Consecration.
The first part of our mass is the liturgy of the word, which is all scripture, and the second part is the liturgy of the Eucharist, which is the Communion.
I know you all do not agree or believe in this, but I’m just sharing what I believe. God bless you and thank you. I love all you ever say, and do, Brandon.
Some great thought provoking concepts. More like many of the old Sunday School classes. More dialog than monologue, etc. One church we attended, the Sunday School class was a review and discussion of the previous weeks sermon.
that's how we conduct our worship service. believers ask questions and also give opinions. there's self reflections and also experiences encountered are shared. thanks.
We're so used to being more or less comfortable during our religious services, sitting in pews, that it is instructive to think people back then had to sit on the floor. Obviously, if that's what one is used to, it's no bid deal. Now in my 70's, I would definitely have preferred sitting on one of those steps.
Saturday. Yeshua/Jesus, celebrated on Saturday.
Thank you Pastor Brandon...
👍👍👍
God bless you Sir.
This is tremendous. I wish service is this engaging
1 Corinthians 14:26, “How is it then brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying.”

💎THE GOSPEL OF THE WORD OF ALMIGHTY GOD "the last age in which God saves man from the destruction of this old world"
(This may be a reminder for most people of God's words from Genesis: "Let us make man in our image, according to our likeness." Suppose God is saying that "let us" make man in "our " picture, then "ours" shows two or more; since He said "ours," then God is not only one. In this way, man begins to think generally of different persons, and from these words came the idea of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. At the time Moses wrote Genesis, was after the creation of mankind following the creation of the world. In the beginning, when the world, Moses did not exist yet. And it was a long time before Moses wrote the Bible, so how could he possibly know what God said in heaven? He was unaware of how God created the world. What is written in the Old Testament is the work of Jehovah, a phase of the work of God Himself for ushering in the Age of Law. This is the work of God, where as He spoke, it happened, and as He commanded, it remained. When all is said and done, whether it is the Father or the Son, They are one Spirit, not divided into separate persons. When man speaks of separate persons, does it not reflect God? Jehovah is the Spirit, and also a substance of Jesus. Doesn't the Spirit of God simply carry out the work of the Spirit from different perspectives?" Because of this, there is no distinction between persons.)
Almighty God said
This can be a REMINDER for most PEOPLE of GOD'S WORDS from GENESIS: "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness." Suppose GOD says "we" will CREATE MAN in "our" IMAGE, then "we" SHOWS TWO or MORE; since He SAID "we," then GOD is NOT one. IN THIS WAY, MAN BEGAN TO THINK GENERALLY OF DIFFERENT PERSONS, AND FROM THESE WORDS HAD THE IDEA OF THE FATHER, THE SON, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT. What then does the Father look like? What does the Son look like? And what does the Holy Spirit look like? ☀️🙏
Could it be that the present man was made in the image of the one who was put together from the three? Then is the image of man like that of the Father, the Son, or the Holy Spirit? 🙏
WHICH of the persons of GOD is the image of MAN? This idea of MAN is ABSOLUTELY WRONG and NONSENSE! It can only separate one God from several Gods. 🙏
AT THE TIME Moses WROTE GENESIS, it was AFTER MANKIND WAS CREATED AFTER THE CREATION OF THE WORLD. In the BEGINNING, when the WORLD began, Moses did NOT exist. And IT TOOK A LONG TIME FOR MOSES TO WRITE THE BIBLE, so HOW could he possibly KNOW WHAT GOD SAID in HEAVEN?🙏☀️
He is UNCONSCIOUS of HOW GOD CREATED THE WORLD. 🙏
In the OLD TESTAMENT of the Bible, there is NO mention of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, only the TRUE GOD, JEHOVAH, is PERFORMING His WORK in ISRAEL. ☀️
He is CALLED by different NAMES in the CHANGING TIMES, but this DOESN'T PROVE that each NAME REFERES to a different PERSON. Therefore, then wouldn't there be countless persons of God? What is WRITTEN in the OLD TESTAMENT is the WORK of JEHOVAH, A PHASE of the WORK of GOD HIMSELF for the START of the Age of Law. This is GOD'S WORK, where ACCORDING to what He SPOKE, it happened, and ACCORDING to what He commanded, it REMAINS. 🙏💐
AT NO TIME DID JEHOVAH SAY HE WAS THE FATHER WHO WOULD COME TO EFFECT THE WORK, or did He even foretell the coming of the Son to redeem mankind. WHEN IT CAME TO THE TIME OF JESUS, it was only mentioned that GOD became MAN to REDEEM ALL MANKIND, NOT that the SON CAME. ☀️
Because the times are not the same and the work that God Himself carries out is also different, He has to carry out His work within different kingdoms. In this way, the identity He represents is also different. PEOPLE BELIEVE JEHOVAH IS THE FATHER OF JESUS, but JESUS DOESN'T REALLY ACKNOWLEDGE, saying: "We were never identified as Father and Son; I and the Father in heaven are one. The Father is in Me and I am in the Father; when men see the Son, they see the Father in heaven." ☀️😪
When all is said and done, whether it is the Father or the Son, They are one Spirit, not divided into separate persons. By the time man attempts to explain, matters are complicated by the idea of different persons, as well as the relationship between Father, Son, and Spirit. WHEN MAN TALKS ABOUT separate persons, does it not reflect GOD? 🙏🔅
Man even ranks persons as first, second, and third; these are all mere human understandings, unworthy of reference, and utterly unreal! If you ask him: "How many are there in God?" He will say that God is the Trinity of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit: the one true God. If you ask him: "Who is the Father?" He will say: The Father is the Spirit of God in heaven; He rules over all, and He is the Lord of heaven." "Then is Jehovah the Spirit?" ☀️
He will say: "Yes!" If you ask him afterwards, "Who is the Son?" He will say that Jesus is the Son, anyway: "Then what is the story of Jesus? From whom did He come?" He will say: "Jesus was born of Mary through the shadowing of the Holy Spirit. " ☀️
"Then is not His substance also Spirit? Does His work also represent the Holy Spirit?
Jehovah is the Spirit, and also a substance of Jesus. Now in the last days, it goes without saying that the Spirit still works; how did He become different persons? Doesn't the Spirit of God just carry out the work of the Spirit from different perspectives? Because of this, there is no difference between personas. 🙏

I drive most of the day..and can listen to audio bible...I love it!
In collge we had "Diologuue Homilies" during a weekday mass, on Wednesdays, I think.. Instead of being in the Sanctuary, we met in a smaller room, sat on the floor and the priest started his homily (sermon) then invited comments. It was great! Occasionally I've seen a little of that since, but not to the extent of those days. I WOULD love to see more of it again. I'd even sit on the floor. I don't know how many in my age would join me there, but I would.
Brandon, our online lessons are similar: We get to add our voices here. (I look forward to your lessons!! I truly learn from you, and that is a treasure.)
Our little church does ask questions. It’s great!
You are a gifted young minister of God! Thank you! I appreciate your teaching.

For a minute there I thought you called them the cheap seats. ;-)
Wonderful video Brandon. Very much describes House Church service or at least the ideal.
I would so love to find a house of worship like this ♥️ beautiful explanation Pastor.
Appreciate this explanation. Sounds like my longings for learning about the Lord's kingdom & my place in it. Interactive worship, listening, asking.
Hi Brandon, well this was a surprise. The church I've been in for twenty years has had lots of participation, and I often think we're more like a 'fellowship'. There are only 12 of us now. Others have gone to be with God, or moved on to other churches. But we do have discussions about the Bible and other things. Sometimes I worry we get too inwardly focussed. I would like to learn more about the Bible, and we don't have a minister. We take turns bringing a teaching or message. Which is why I so enjoy your expositions on Bible context and history. I also love Ps. Mike Winger's videos. I'm on Chapter 13 of his series on the book of Romans. Thanks for all you do!
I was just thinking this two days ago, that this is the way church was meant to be...
Thank you for sharing this. 🤍🙏🏽
This is good. Most churches don't allow you to "Inquire in His temple" like the psalm says.
We are small, but we all respond and learn so much.
And Jesus came and said to them, All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.
(Matthew 28:18) 🙏✝
Incredible insight. Thank you and I agree.
What about worshiping on Saturday.
From one shepherd to another Pastor Robbins I think you are a gifted teacher of the Word. I love how break things down. I check them and you are spot on.
I myself love teaching the Word of God!!!!!
I won't go into my other comment to add but things like the baths before they entered the synagogues and things like that that makes it clear that we're supposed to clean up before we come to church you know that's where we got that idea I find that incredibly fascinating that there is actually reasons or teachings that help us understand WHAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE important REASONS to clean up and go to church!!✝️😁
Sir. You are a blessing. A true apostle of our savior. My life changed since i subscribed to your channel. Thank you
Thank you. I have been struggling with my daily worship in that I feel it has become rote in many ways. As always, you offer so much help. Blessings.
My church and church family dance sing laugh cry and pray for each other with touch
It is the connection between us, the shared idea, that inspires the mind and stirs the heart to action--No thing that is untrue may pass through the heart. The people of that time knew this, whether it came to them inherently or was passed from one generation to the next. I don't yet fully understand why the veil, the shadow, of ignorance fell over the world soon after. Perhaps, we aren't meant to know at this time... or maybe you'll figure it out, Brandon. You have the gift of tongues as it was understood back in the day. Stay humble and your gift will continue to light up lives. I appreciate you and your work, and I look forward to the next video.
Wow, thanks for this video. It is encouraging and a reminder to me personally of my relationship with Jesus during worship at church and at home in my car or where ever. Scriptures just flow when your heart opens up to complete surrender and humility. Humbling myself and be thankful for all His goodness and blessings over us. God Bless 😊

Why not on Saturday ? As far as i know Jesus went to the weekly service never on a Sunday
Because Christ rose on a Sunday is what I've been told
@@andrealacey5102
That is (maybe) wrong. He rose on Saturday evening (short time before sunset) 28th April 31
Thank you for your kind words and make us realise how gratteful to have a bible in our hand.
Absolutely love this video TH-cam algorithms need a bigger scale than thumbs up
Wish the Church we go . Would worship like their did. Amen God look after all the Christians around the world.🙏🙏🙏🙏
Great teaching. Thank you Brandon.
Great video I love the info brother bless you 💞 Jesus love y'all
Thanks, Pastor
Nice one
Thank you, Brandon. I learned a lot from you. May you continue to do more videos about the the Word of God.
Great commentary. Thank you.
Very interesting and informative. Thankyou. Peace
I've thought about a form of bible study or Sunday school where the point is the conversation. A person reads a passage until someone has a thought they want to share. They share it, people respond and you have a conversation. This goes on until people are through talking and you continue with the reading.
This would be applicable to scripture or theological books about the scripture.
What you describe near the end - sharing, discussing - actually sounds a lot like a weekly Bible study and prayer meeting. We just don't do that in the main, Sunday service, when there may be too many people for it to be practical. Think of passing the mic around all over the auditorium.
In our fellowship of about 275 we have kids who are "mic runners." We read a chapter of the scriptures at a time and then whoever wants to comment can. We read from the Torah, the Prophets, and the Gospels. This part lasts for about two hours. There is no sermon by a pastor. We meet twice a month, the other two weeks are in people's houses. This is a common practice for messianic type fellowships.
Wow I never knew that, I guess that’s why I like my church because that’s what we do. I guess my pastor been studying. Praise Yahuah
I love your videos, Rabbi!
While it would be nice to bring back some old parts of worship into church, such as dancing while singing praises to the Lord, other parts can’t go back to the way they once were. As you said, most people didn’t have a Bible at home in Ancient Times and so hearing scripture read to them every week was a treat and joy. Today we can read the Bible any time we want, and so it would be boring to hear someone reading scripture for 30 minutes. When times change, so does worship.
This sounds amazing. I'm gonna try to start doing this with my wife and in our family.
I always enjoy your teachings!
I wished more would do this, more scripture and discussion which I .think would encourage more Bible reading/ study!!
This is how many messianic type fellowships operate.
come visit us Brandon. This is what we strive for at TRU2:42 Church. Thanks for such a great explanation!
We used to have three hour Church. Now you know who I am! :-) now it's 2 hours. Visitors welcome!
Thank you Brandon for a great job.
Awesome Brandon, thank you for the insight. Yes we have strayed so far away trying not to be "Jewish" and in doing so have lost a lot.
Thank You !
Good Day Sir-
Wow! That is what I am doing on Monday morning. I just started doing that and I do it every week.
I do it on my Facebook page

@@tomashaggard8346 okay good, where are you chatting from?
I like when you mention how Jesus Christ teach with full engagement to congregation. Today It's so unfortunate we just hear sermon from preacher and hearing so many what they thought. And never goes deeper reflection what bible words is. That's why I loved how Jesus Christ my Lord always teach with Q&A so the listener have full engagement with teaching to
God Bless You Brothers and Sisters!
I enjoy listening to you explain the TH-cam section. I wish it did. But it won’t until we get to Heaven.
I would love a format of more scripture reading outloud!!!
There are four scriptures read at the Sunnday mass: one from OT, then a Psalm, followed one in the NT, not the Goapel, then a reading from one of the Gospels. In the daily masses three readings, including a Gospel is read.
It’s very similar to how we do Bible study each week.
In order to worship like Jesus would we have to do that on a Saturday?
When Paul used to preach he preached for a long time. Did he change the habit?
At first, I thought Brandon said " cheap seats" ...lol
Me too🤭
Me too. 😂😂😂
I LOVE this !!!!!😇
How wonderful would it be if we could interact with the leaders. I guess that’s what Sunday school is for but I’d prefer to speak with the Paster. Thanks Brandon
Great work
Their congregations were much smaller, weren’t they? I find this quite the food for thought, as I always do with your podcasts. You are one of my favorites. We do this basically in our church small group studies. Knowing all the heresies of our culture, I can’t see it working today. It would be a free for all. What do others think?
I agree. In my earlier comment I described doing this in collge on a weekday. We were probably only about 25- 30 students in attendance, which was manageable.
Thank you, interesting topic. God bless. ✝️🌟💕🌸💛
I pray I can find a similar church..
Thank you for your shari g i learned much
The apistle Paul instruction for how the church is to function, but very few adhere to those instructions. An example is 1 Cor 14:26, 'What should you do then, brothers and sisters? When you come together, each one has a song, has a lesson, has a revelation, has a tongue, has an interpretation. Let all these things be done for the strengthening of the church.' The reason most churches don't adhere to Paul's instructions is because of church tradition that was handed down by the false institution of the Catholic church, the progenitor of Christendom.
Clapping and dancing is more popular then you think during worship
Yes, far more popular than during Bible readings, as Brandon mentions
