Revelation and Reception: The Activity of the Holy Spirit
Understand the Bible? Pastor Melissa Scott, Ph.D.
It is the work of the Holy Spirit to “reprove” sin, which is to expose sin and to set it right by bringing us to repentance, specifically to turn us from the sin of failing to recognizing Christ. The ability both to proclaim the word and to receive are dependent on the presence of God’s Spirit in us, and once the seed is planted it will produce change in us. We are warned not to neglect the gift we are given and not to grieve the Spirit. VF-2101 Acts 2 Watch, Listen and Learn 24x7 at Pastor Melissa Scott teaches from Faith Center in Glendale.

Arrabon: Sealed by the Spirit of God
Understand the Bible? Pastor Melissa Scott, Ph.D.
God has sealed us with His Spirit, the Arrabon, a part payment certifying us as authentically His, until we receive our full inheritance.

The Blood Applied: God Had a Plan from the Beginning
Understand the Bible? Pastor Melissa Scott, Ph.D.
The Passover was a shadow and type pointing to Christ. God had a plan to reveal Himself to the children of Israel and to judge the people of Egypt. By applying the blood of the lamb to the door, God’s people were spared from the tenth plague, the death of the firstborn. Although they had not known God, He had a plan for them: if they obeyed His voice, He would deliver them.

The Ten Plagues and Their Parallels in Revelation
Understand the Bible? Pastor Melissa Scott, Ph.D.
The ten plagues in Exodus are a prototype of what God is going to do at the end of time. Each plague has a specific meaning and there are several parallels to events in the book of Revelation. Contrary to popular belief, God did not send these plagues to be cruel, He sent them to show the Egyptians that He is Lord over all the earth, and also to introduce Himself to the Hebrews who did not yet know Him.

What Does the Finished Work of Christ Mean for You?
Understand the Bible? Pastor Melissa Scott, Ph.D.

Your Heart Is at the Center of Biblical Giving
Understand the Bible? Pastor Melissa Scott, Ph.D.
The grace of giving God’s way starts with the heart. If your heart is not right with God, nothing else will be. Many people make excuses for not giving. Some say they would give if they had more, but giving is not about what you possess: it is about what possesses you. You belong to God, and you have a responsibility to give.

Genesis 12:3 – The Blessing Points to Christ, Not the Land of Israel
Understand the Bible? Pastor Melissa Scott, Ph.D.
In a recent interview between Tucker Carlson and Senator Ted Cruz, Senator Cruz stated that, “those who bless Israel will be blessed, and those who curse Israel will be cursed.” There’s only one problem. That verse isn’t in the Bible. It’s a misinterpretation of Genesis 12:3. This message sets the record straight.

Dunamis: Strength for the Soul That Only God Can Give
Understand the Bible? Pastor Melissa Scott, Ph.D.
There is a strengthening for our soul that can only come from God. The Greek word for that strength in the Bible is “dunamis”, a dynamite strength from Him that empowers us in whatever capacity He has called us to serve. When we are tired or are being buffeted by the devil, we need to ask for that extra strength. We must talk to God and stay in the word every day, and not wait until we are already empty to turn to Him. When we are weak, He is strong.
