The Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil
Human Nature = Mortal, Dying
By: Bro. Matthew Hughes

Lecture Summary (click here)

Gen. 2:17  “But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil thou shalt not
eat of it; for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.”

The disobedience in the Garden of Eden brought about the introduction of death.  The curse and sentence upon Adam (defiled nature) became a physical law of his being; transmitted to all mankind.  Disobedience is sin, sin also known as sin in the flesh: “The soul that sins, it shall die.”  Man mortal, dying; as in beast so in man.  No immortal soul: All the ancients of old recognized man is mortal – from Abraham, Job, David, Solomon, to the Apostles.

The Burning Bush
Triune God a Myth
By: Bro. Jerry Connolly

Lecture Summary (click here)

Exod. 3:2  “And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him out of the midst
of a bush: and he looked, and, behold the bush burned with fire
and the bush was not consumed.”

Nowhere in the Scriptures is there a hint of a Triune God.  Deity (and His agents) is known by different titles: all enveloped within the Memorial Name of YHWH.  Holy Spirit is God’s universe-filling power and presence.  ALL things made by the Almighty by His Spirit.  The Lord Jesus, the Christ, is God’s Son; not co-equal.  Characteristics: Loving, patient (with the obedient), pure, righteous, just, and true.  His eternal purpose:  Self-manifestation in a glorious multitude of joyful immortals.

A Nation Bringing Forth Fruits
The Great Hope of the Gospel – The Second (Personal) Coming of the Lord Jesus, The Only Christian Hope
By: Bro. Michael Morrell

Lecture Summary (click here)

Matt. 21:43 “The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a
nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.”

The “hope” of the Gospel relates to the second coming of Christ.   Christ received into heaven in bodily form; will return in the same fashion.  The whole earth is to be ruled by him.  The theme of the Bible runs from Genesis to Revelation.  All religions and superstitions to be abolished: taught by the Prophets.  Ruling part of the Kingdom of Israel (or Kingdom of God) was prophesied to be taken away from the priests and Pharisees.  The disciples to be the nation bringing forth fruits, and given ruling authority with Jesus.

A Handful of Corn
David’s Hope & Expectation – The Kingdom Under Christ
By: Bro. David Humprhreys

Lecture Summary (click here)

Psa. 72:16  “There shall be an handful of corn in the earth upon the top of the        mountains;  the fruit thereof shall shake like Lebanon; and they of the city shall flourish like  the grass of the earth.” 

The religions of the world not only ignore the Promises to the Fathers, but the Covenant with David as well.  Covenant with David not fulfilled in Solomon.  A Greater than Solomon, Jesus Christ: A rod out of the stem of Jesse, a “Righteous Branch”, Horn of Salvation, Heir to the throne, and chastened with the rod of men.  Kingdom and throne decimated; therefore a future, re-established Kingdom to exist.  David is to witness his Son (his Lord) as King on earth not in heaven.  Jesus, King and Priest, to build a Temple.

The Vine That Filled The Land
Israel God’s Chosen People
By: Bro. Lynn Osborne

Lecture Summary (click here)

Psa. 80:8-19   “Thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt: thou hast cast out the heathen, and planted it. Thou preparedst room before it, and didst cause it to take deep root, and it filled the land. The hills were covered with the shadow of it, and the boughs thereof were like the goodly cedars.  She sent out her boughs unto the sea, and her branches unto the river. Why hast thou then broken down her hedges, so that all they which pass by the way do pluck her?  The boar out of the wood doth waste it, and the wild beast of the field doth devour it. Return, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine; And the vineyard which thy right hand hath planted, and the branch that thou madest strong for thyself.  It is burned with fire, it is cut down: they perish at the rebuke of thy countenance.  Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, upon the son of man whom thou madest strong for thyself.  So will not we go back from thee: quicken us, and we will call upon thy name.  Turn us again, O LORD God of hosts, cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.”

The Jews are God’s chosen people: His witness to the Word. Their history: disobedient, punished, recorded in Scripture.  Their future: fulfillment of Bible prophecy.  Their Capitol, Jerusalem, and their land to be trodden down until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.  Christ to save the Jews from destruction.  All the nations of the earth shall honor God’s people.
