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

Greed, Giving and Something in Between

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

Our attitude towards money says a lot about who we are and how we will be memorialized by God. On one hand, the Bible is replete with references to greed and greedy people. On the other hand, those who were generous, recognized that they were stewards, and managed the things that God gave them responsibly. This message is a mirror from God’s word to help us reflect on how we want to be remembered. VF-2487 Watch, Listen and Learn 24x7 at Pastor Melissa Scott teaches from Faith Center in Glendale.

Jesus Christ Is the Last and Final Passover

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

The Passover was instituted in the Old Testament as a remembrance of the deliverance of God’s children out of Egypt. It was kept until the last Passover, celebrated by Jesus before His death and resurrection. Then Christ became our Passover through His finished work at the cross. There are no more Passovers to be celebrated. Instead, we go to the Table of the Lord in remembrance of Him and what was accomplished through His blood and the resurrection.

Mary Worship: The Corruption that Has Penetrated the Church

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

There is no scripture to support the worship of Mary, or the doctrine of the immaculate conception of Mary which paints her as without original sin. So how did the Catholic church manage to convince a whole sea of people that this is the truth? Are Christians just imitating the mother and child worship that is found in every single culture? The answers to these questions might make you angry, but the truth will set you free. VF-2485 Watch, Listen and Learn 24x7 at Pastor Melissa Scott teaches from Faith Center in Glendale.

The Problem with December 25th

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

A look at church history shows that the date of December 25th came out of pagan traditions that had nothing to do with Christ. The birth of Christ was the fulfillment of a set time. A study of the Old Testament shows there are no feasts or set times that occur in the month of December. In order to fulfill the prophecy of God’s set time, Christ had to be born in September. A study of scripture, secular history and astronomical events provide evidence of a September birth and provide a window of time for the year it occurred. VF-2485 Watch, Listen and Learn 24x7 at ...

A Window and a Time for Christ’s Birth

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

When we examine the biblical and historical data, it’s very clear that December 25th is not Christ's birthday. While we’re not obliged to give an exact date, we can narrow it down to a window and a time: more likely a September date between 7 and 6 B.C., fitting into the set times of God.

The Birth of Christ from Two Narratives: Matthew and Luke

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

The Gospels of Matthew and Luke provide different details about the birth and early childhood of Christ. By looking to evidence from the Bible and a variety of external sources, we can begin to learn the truth about His birth. The accounts tell us where He was born and if you read carefully, what time of the year it was. Jesus was not born at Christmas and the Magi did not visit Him at birth, but later when He was a young child.

The descendants of Esau, known as Edom have provoked God’s people throughout history. Because of this, God declared war on them from generation to generation. God kept His word on this throughout the Bible and in the end He will completely destroy them as depicted in Revelation. We should be encouraged that God is faithful to perform His word in all things that He promises for His children. VF-2056
