The Help of The Holy Spirit: You Are Not Alone

Understand the Bible? Pastor Melissa Scott, Ph.D.

The Holy Spirit helps us in our human condition of weakness when we don't even know "the what" we need and should ask for in prayer. When we face a circumstance, we cannot even find the words for, the Spirit understands our groanings. He helps us lift the load and carry our prayer to the Father, who knows our hearts, and Christ, who advocates for us.

Agape: The Expression of the Holy Spirit

Understand the Bible? Pastor Melissa Scott, Ph.D.

Paul makes four categories of mankind: the natural man, babes in Christ, carnal believers, and spiritual Christians. The natural man cannot hear the message; the babe in Christ grows, feeding on the sincere milk of the Word; carnal believers are never confronted with facing themselves, leaving them in a state of arrested spiritual development; and spiritual Christians constantly feed on the Word, both milk and meat. Some marks of carnality are envying, strife, and divisions, which are in stark contrast with the marks of spirituality: the radiating of God's love in us, hand in hand...

Love and Unity in the Diversity of Spiritual Gifts

Understand the Bible? Pastor Melissa Scott, Ph.D.

Like those in Corinth, many churches today have elevated spiritual gifts, especially speaking in tongues, as the mark of salvation causing contention and disunity in the body. Paul corrects this by clarifying that there are diversities of gifts, distributed by the Holy Spirit for the edifying of the church. Some, not all, have particular gifts, including speaking in tongues. All His children have some gift for the building up of the body. The greatest gift is the love He poured out on our hearts and without that we have nothing. VF-2106 1Corinthians 12-14 Watch, Listen and Learn...

The Pursuit of Peace and the Holiness of God

Understand the Bible? Pastor Melissa Scott, Ph.D.

Part of understanding the holiness of God is being aware that He has placed a deposit of His peace in our hearts, which gives us the capacity to pursue peace with all. This awareness allows us to get real with God and keeps us from falling away from the faith.

God's Perfect Love Conquers Fear

Understand the Bible? Pastor Melissa Scott, Ph.D.

God's love toward us comes before we can love Him. When we do love Him, it is impossible to not simultaneously love our brethren. This agapao love, in being completed, makes us bold and drives out fear. With God's love in us, we will get tested to bring us closer to God and His care, but we will not receive punishment from God.

Comfort from Christ: The Motherly Love of God

Understand the Bible? Pastor Melissa Scott, Ph.D.

God’s motherly love shines through in a bleak passage directed against the hypocritical scribes and Pharisees. Knowing what the word of God said, they were unable to apply it to themselves or hear the call of God. God is still calling, as a mother hen, to bring comfort to the comfortless that will run to the voice of the sayer.

He Is Risen: Why I Am a Christian

Understand the Bible? Pastor Melissa Scott, Ph.D.

Take the challenge to read and listen to Bible teaching, examining whether or not the things that Jesus foretold of Himself were manipulated or true before throwing away the hope of life eternal.

Chosen, Set Apart, and Loved

Understand the Bible? Pastor Melissa Scott, Ph.D.

Christ has broken down the barriers of the old dispensation, so now we have to learn to function as a society, in Christ. We are chosen, separated, and loved by God, so we must act like it. Paul tells us to clothe ourselves in the attributes that come from God: compassion, kindness, humility, meekness, and longsuffering. Only then can we put up with one another and be a cohesive body of believers in Christ.

Why on Earth Does God Forgive?

Understand the Bible? Pastor Melissa Scott, Ph.D.

Through Nehemiah 9:26-31 and Psalm 106 we have a mirror to show us the wickedness of fallen man and our own sinning ways. Why then, if God knows and sees all this, does He forgive? For His name's sake. He is still saving people today for simple faith in the name of Jesus Christ.

The Love of God

Understand the Bible? Pastor Melissa Scott, Ph.D.

"The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand." First, a look at what the all things are, and then into three vignettes of God's love as seen in Christ: to the woman at the well, the woman taken in adultery and the post-betrayal Apostle Peter. With this we learn: the all things in Christ's hand funnel into the love of God and we have access to both by reaching for His hand by faith.

More Episodes

The unconditional agape love that comes from God is not like human love; it is the fruit of the Spirit of God in us, not something we can do in the flesh. This kind of love links us to God, and from it flows patience, kindness, generosity, and compassion. VF-2303 Colossians 3:14
