God Has Made Provision for All His Children

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

The Church of England has been in the news for labeling God “gender neutral.” What a tragedy considering this church’s rich history, and how completely blasphemous! We don’t need to change scripture. The doctrine of the Holy Spirit teaches us that God made provision for all His children when He gave the third person of the Godhead which is neutral, meaning He can inhabit both men and women.

ALL Are Welcome, but Leave Your Baggage at the Door

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

The church is under attack from people trying to bring in their own ideological baggage. All are welcome in church, but the point is for God's word to open people's eyes, equip them, and change them. We are not to dictate the terms on which we come to God. The church must stand firm and hold fast to the word we have received.

What Has Happened to the Church in America?

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

The church is confused about its mission, and The Guardian has capitalized on it by releasing an article entitled, “Losing their Religion: Why U.S. Churches Are on the Decline” in an attempt to brainwash Americans into thinking Christianity is dying or dead. Rather than accomplishing its goal, it has become the launching pad to revisit history, specifically the history of Christianity in America, and realign with the principles and preaching that propelled America to greatness.

Flee, Follow and Fight: God Will Bring the Victory

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

The problem with the church at large is the treating of the word of God lightly. As a result, what the world sees coming out of the church is everything but His word. The solution is to apply the advice in 1 Timothy 6: flee from false teaching, follow after God's righteousness and fight the good fight of faith.

This Message Is a Warning

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

Some things that God spoke in prophecies and parables remain mysteries for a time. God makes the meaning of these things clear to those who trust Him when the appointed time comes. We must anticipate in faith that what He has said will come to fruition. Those trusting in Him will know that they have stood on a word of promise made good.

Christ in Ezekiel’s Temple

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

The thousand-year period after the Great Tribulation will be a foretaste of eternity. The saints of all ages will be resurrected, and Christ will dwell among us and reign in Jerusalem. Eight items that were in the tabernacle and the former temple will be missing from the final Temple described by Ezekiel, because they will be fulfilled by Christ. Until that time, we are to stay the course and keep the faith in anticipation of His return. VF-2404 Watch, Listen and Learn 24x7 at Pastor Melissa Scott teaches from Faith Center in Glendale.

The Feast of Tabernacles: A Picture of God’s Only Son

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

The Feast of Tabernacles was a time to commemorate the forty years of wandering in the wilderness, but it was also a time of thanksgiving to God. It occurred at harvest time, and when Christ returns, there will be a final harvest. In that future time, those who were against Him will be forced to keep this feast. We should redeem the time that remains. VF-2403 Watch, Listen and Learn 24x7 at Pastor Melissa Scott teaches from Faith Center in Glendale.

Christ in the Atonement: More Than a Covering

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

Yom Kippur, known in the English as the Day of Atonement was an Old Testament system that provided covering for the people’s sin for the past year. This system failed because people need more than a covering. The good news is when we study this set time through the eyes of Christ, we can see that He fulfilled it, and because of His sacrifice we are washed and cleansed from all of our sin, not just simply covered.

The Silver Trumpets Proclaim the Finished Work of Christ

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

Silver trumpets were used for several purposes in God’s plan. They were used for a call to the people to assemble, a call to battle and to proclaim the Feast of Trumpets. Today the trumpet is a symbol of the Gospel, the finished work of Christ, and a clarion call to all who will hear His word. The trumps will sound again in the end times calling us to assemble and for battle against satan and his minions when the great day of wrath begins.

Christ Is the Firstfruits, and We are the Harvest

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

In the Old Testament, God's people were to give Him the first fruits of their crops with the expectancy of a harvest to come. God gave His Son, who is the firstfruits of the resurrection. We are the harvest, and this harvest of souls will continue until God's last call. VF-2400 Watch, Listen and Learn 24x7 at Pastor Melissa Scott teaches from Faith Center in Glendale.
