| 51 | New Testament Books | Church Epistles | II Corinthians | (2 Corinthians 09) Chapter 7: Reality | 4307 | The Apostle Paul was very human; though he worried and got anxious, he didn't try to pretend or fake it. Just be honest and be yourself; God knows who you are. God always deals with us as we are where we are in order to bring us to where He wants us to be. The Lord makes us instruments of grief at times that we may be instruments of refreshment. | Ed Miller | Corinthians02_09Chap07_Reality.mp3 | 2 Corinthians 7; John 13:1-8 | ||||||
| 52 | New Testament Books | Church Epistles | II Corinthians | (2 Corinthians 10) Chapter 8: Ministering Out of Great Poverty | 4307 | The point of the Macedonians giving out of their poverty illustrate the great principle that the all-sufficiency of Christ through us is learning what it means to minister out of great poverty. There is no "relief fund" in you. Spiritual ministry of giving out of great poverty asks two questions: 1) Have I released Christ? and 2) Have they touched Christ? | Ed Miller | Corinthians02_10.mp3 | 2 Corinthians 8 | ||||||
| 53 | New Testament Books | Church Epistles | II Corinthians | (2 Corinthians 11) Chapters 8-9: Sowing and Reaping | 4307 | The financial giving is just the "wrapping paper"; the seed is the gift from God. I must minister out of poverty; the life has to be from God. The seed must always be supernatural seed; our givings must be more than the wrappings. | Ed Miller | Corinthians02_11Chap0809_SawingReaping.mp3 | 2 Corinthians 8-9 | ||||||
| 54 | New Testament Books | Church Epistles | II Corinthians | (2 Corinthians 12) Chapters 10-13: Christ Sanctification For Us | 4307 | Christ is all-sufficient FOR us. On the surface of chapters 10-13, it looks like it is all about Paul's defense. Though Paul had the greatest testimony in the world, he refused to give it, for the Lord was His defense. Paul came to know grace in proportion to his need. | Ed Miller | Corinthians02_12Chap10_13ChristSatificationForUs.mp3 | 2 Corinthians 10-13 | ||||||
| 55 | New Testament Books | Church Epistles | II Corinthians | (2 Corinthians 13) Chapters 11-12 | 4307 | Chapters 11 and 12 is how Paul came to know the all-sufficiency of God for him. Paul had a misconception that God had nothing to do with the "thorn in the flesh" from Satan. The truth is that God is using Satan to make you like Jesus. | Ed Miller | Corinthians02_13Chap11_12.mp3 | 2 Corinthians 11-12 | ||||||
| 56 | New Testament Books | Church Epistles | I Corinthians | (I Corinthians 01) Introduction | 4305 | In the introduction lesson, Ed shares the historical background of the Corinthian church and how it proves that the gospel of Christ can work anywhere! The grand theme of the book is that through our union with Jesus Christ as Lord, we have the solution to every problem--corporate or individual. "To the degree we're knowing Him and enjoying Him as Lord," Ed assures, "to that degree all of our problems are solved." | Ed Miller | Corinthians01_01Intro.mp3 | I Corinthians | ||||||
| 57 | New Testament Books | Church Epistles | I Corinthians | (I Corinthians 02) Chapter 1 - 4 Overview | 4305 | Paul didn't start with the problems until he saw the Conrinthians in Christ. The first problem of division had four main causes: worldly wisdom, looking to men, hasty judgment of others, and spiritual pride. Satan loves to bring man's wisdom into the Church in its message, method and way to study the Bible. | Ed Miller | Corinthians01_02Chap01_04Overview.mp3 | I Corinthians 1 - 4 | ||||||
| 58 | New Testament Books | Church Epistles | I Corinthians | (I Corinthians 03) Theme: The Lordship of Christ | 4305 | In looking at division in the church, there are essential dangers in distinctive emphases, such as exclusivism, exalting men, and dragging Christ down. Ed shares how God can safeguard us from these dangers. | Ed Miller | Corinthians01_03.mp3 | I Corinthians 1 - 4 | ||||||
| 59 | New Testament Books | Church Epistles | I Corinthians | (I Corinthians 04) Division; Judgment Seat | 4305 | Hasty jugdment of others' motives is dangerous because it assumes the perogatives of God. The Judgment Seat of Christ is for Him, where He will reward you for what He did through you! Man's part of God's work is keeping his heart on Jesus Christ. | Ed Miller | Corinthians01_04.mp3 | I Corinthians 3 - 4:5 | ||||||
| 60 | New Testament Books | Church Epistles | I Corinthians | (I Corinthians 05) Chapter 4:6-21 Spiritual Pride | 4305 | Ed shows how this section asks 3 simple questions about pride and answers them. God gives gifts because we are needy not because we are special. Pride blinds us because it causes us to think that we have arrived. | Ed Miller | Corinthians01_05Chap04_6-21.mp3 | I Corinthians 4:6-21 | ||||||
| 61 | New Testament Books | Church Epistles | I Corinthians | (I Corinthians 06) Purity Chapters 5 & 6 | 4305 | Incest was just an illustration of the point that was much bigger that incest: leaven. God's solution was separation. When the Holy Spirit makes it real that your body was made for the Lord, it becomes a mighty weapon against immorality. | Ed Miller | Corinthians01_06Chap05.mp3 | I Corinthians 5 - 6 | ||||||
| 62 | New Testament Books | Church Epistles | I Corinthians | (I Corinthians 07) Personal Differences Chapters 5 & 6 | 4305 | In problems of purity, God reveals Christ in the pictures of leaven and Passover. Because the Corinthians only had half the revelation (the Lamb slain), they needed to see the other side of the marvellous picture of the Christian life as feast on Christ (the Lamb eaten). The underlying principle in personal differences is a willingness to be wronged or done unto. | Ed Miller | Corinthians01_07Chap0506.mp3 | I Corinthians 5 - 6 | ||||||
| 63 | New Testament Books | Church Epistles | I Corinthians | (I Corinthians 08) Chapter 7: Marriage, Sex, Separation | 4305 | The 7th chapter of this epistle are the apostle Paul's answers to five specific questions the Corinthians had about marriage. As pertaining to separation, how many grounds are there for separation (not divorce)? Marriage is such a sanctifying influence that the good affects the bad, putting the gospel in the face of the unbeliever. | Ed Miller | Corinthians01_08Chap07MarriageSexSeparation.mp3 | I Corinthians 7 | ||||||
| 64 | New Testament Books | Church Epistles | I Corinthians | (I Corinthians 09) Chapter 7: Problem of Marriage | 4305 | In the areas of non-essentials, the only thing that needs to change is the direction of your heart. The "unworldly heart" is very practical, making decisions based upon expediency and circumstances. Ed closes this topic with three practical outworkings of it. | Ed Miller | Corinthians01_09Chap07.mp3 | I Corinthians 7 | ||||||
| 65 | New Testament Books | Church Epistles | I Corinthians | (I Corinthians 10) Chapters 8-10: Questionable Practices | 4305 | Ed wraps up the section of Christian marriage by pointing out four truths. Chapters 8, 9 and 10 all center upon one question--the whole issue of questionable practices. What do we do with all the things that the Bible doesn't say anything about? | Ed Miller | Corinthians01_10Chap0708.mp3 | I Corinthians 8 - 10 | ||||||
| 66 | New Testament Books | Church Epistles | I Corinthians | (I Corinthians 11) Chapters 8-10: Questionable Practices (Cont.) | 4305 | What makes a Christian "strong" or "weak" as it pertains to questionable practices? 2 great principles that limit our liberty are 1) Does it hurt my brother's Spirit-controlled conscience? and 2) Does it hurt my testimony for Christ? | Ed Miller | Corinthians01_11Chap08Question.mp3 | I Corinthians 8 - 10 | ||||||
| 67 | New Testament Books | Church Epistles | I Corinthians | (I Corinthians 12) Chapters 8-10: Questionable Practices (Conclusion) | 4305 | When do I lay my liberties down? Ed shares Paul's illustrations to show that our freedoms are not that important and how trusting in these privileges (like Israel did) are no guarantee of your safety. | Ed Miller | Corinthians01_12Chap08_10QP.mp3 | I Corinthians 9 - 10, Romans 14:22-23 | ||||||
| 68 | New Testament Books | Church Epistles | I Corinthians | (I Corinthians 13) Chapter 11:2-16: The Veil | 4305 | Ed shares how the gospel impacted Roman society and how the woman's veil related in that culture. Submission is not to an individual but to an office. Pictures illustrate principles and once you have the reality, you don't need the picture anymore. | Ed Miller | Corinthians01_13Chap11_2-16TheVeil.mp3 | I Corinthians 11:2-16 | ||||||
| 69 | New Testament Books | Church Epistles | I Corinthians | (I Corinthians 14) Chapter 11:17-34: Picture of Lord's Table | 4305 | Ed shares about the picture of the Lord's Table and the danger of embracing the picture and missing the reality. The agape feast of the Corinthians became the occasion for exposing improper heart motives; and it's bigger than some ceremony. The direction of the heart is that we ought to be eating and drinking Christ. | Ed Miller | Corinthians01_14Chap11_17-34PictOfLordsTable.mp3 | I Corinthians 11:17-34 | ||||||
| 70 | New Testament Books | Church Epistles | I Corinthians | (I Corinthians 15) Chapters 12-14: Introduction To Spiritual Gifts | 4305 | Ed delicately handles these very controversial chapters by starting with that which is 100% certain and then clearing out the "smoke" that confuses so many. The basis premise of spiritual gifts is to fill the deficiency in ourselves or others. Tongues was not the problem in Corinth but the perfect illustration of the problem. | Ed Miller | Corinthians01_15Chap12_14IntroSpiritualGifts.mp3 | I Corinthians 12 - 14 | ||||||
| 71 | New Testament Books | Church Epistles | I Corinthians | (I Corinthians 16) Chapters 12-14: Introduction To Gifts | 4305 | As you go on to perfection, you will need less and less spiritual gifts. You must die to your spiritual gifts and blessings in order to rise again to the knowledge of Christ alone. As you grow, your gifts become a part of your character. | Ed Miller | Corinthians01_16Chap12_14IntroGifts.mp3 | I Corinthians 12 - 14 | ||||||
| 72 | New Testament Books | Church Epistles | I Corinthians | (I Corinthians 17) Chapter 12: The Gifts | 4305 | God's gifts are not God, and to grow into maturity we must die to gifts much like we "died" to the ABC's to embrace written communication. It is helpful to know that these chapters deal with the errors of childhood or immaturity. You never lose the gifts, but through a death are resurrected into the principle of character and life illustrated by the gifts. | Ed Miller | Corinthians01_17Chap12.mp3 | I Corinthians 12 | ||||||
| 73 | New Testament Books | Church Epistles | I Corinthians | (I Corinthians 18) Chapter 12: The Body | 4305 | Why is the human body such a wonderful illustration of Christian unity, more so than a factory, hospital, team, school or other metaphor? The secret of harmony of all believers is that they all live for the pleasure of the Head--Jesus. God has a variety of "tools" to get the "job" done, and the variety of the body rests upon the sovereignty of God. | Ed Miller | Corinthians01_18Chap12TheBody.mp3 | I Corinthians 12:12-31 | ||||||
| 74 | New Testament Books | Church Epistles | I Corinthians | (I Corinthians 19) Chapter 13: Love | 4305 | What is love? Love is the life of God. Don't wear yourself out by exertion trying to produce a life that only God can produce. The more you look to Christ, the more you experience the life of Christ and the more your need for gifts will pass away. | Ed Miller | Corinthians01_19Chap13.mp3 | I Corinthians 13 | ||||||
| 75 | New Testament Books | Church Epistles | I Corinthians | (I Corinthians 20) Chapter 14: Prophecy | 4305 | Whereas churches today have two kinds of gatherings (a "spiritual" meeting and a "business" meeting), the New Testament church had them as one. Spirituality is not defined by being involved with "spiritual things" but having a heart set upon Christ. Ed shares 4 reasons why he is leary of the modern approach to prophecy. | Ed Miller | Corinthians01_20Chap14Prophecy.mp3 | I Corinthians 14 | ||||||
| 76 | New Testament Books | Church Epistles | I Corinthians | I Corinthians 21 Chapter 15 The Resurrection | 4305 | too many audio problems | Ed Miller | Corinthians01_21Chap15TheResurrection.mp3 | |||||||
| 77 | New Testament Books | Church Epistles | I Corinthians | (I Corinthians 22) Chapter 15: Goal of Lordship | 4305 | What is the zenith of Christ's lordship? Christ lays down the crown to spend eternity with His people as the Kinsman-Redeemer! The goal of lordship is friendship. Ed shares from his own experience two big misunderstandings of the lordship of Christ. | Ed Miller | Corinthians01_22Chap15.mp3 | I Corinthians 15:12-32 | ||||||
| 78 | New Testament Books | Church Epistles | I Corinthians | (I Corinthians 23) Chapter 15: Resurrection Body | 4305 | One of the wonders of our resurrection is that it will be as sure as Jesus' and modelled after His. Through death and resurrection, God will adapt us to our new environment. We can only catch a hint of future glory as we can only catch a hint of mighty oak that will come forth from the acorn. | Ed Miller | Corinthians01_23Chap15_ResurrectionBody.mp3 | I Corinthians 15:35-54 | ||||||
| 79 | New Testament Books | Church Epistles | I Corinthians | (I Corinthians 24) Chapter 15:54-58 | 4305 | The present principle of resurrection is certain victory. Because death stung our Lord Jesus on the cross and left its stinger in Him, there is no more stinger for us! "One sight of Christ in glory," asserts Ed, "is a death blow forever for our old sin nature." It is seeing Jesus that not only makes us holy in the future but now in this present age. | Ed Miller | Corinthians01_24Chap15_54-58.mp3 | I Corinthians 15:52-58 | ||||||
| 80 | New Testament Books | Church Epistles | I Corinthians | (I Corinthians 25) Chapter 16: Conclusion | 4305 | The last chapter of Corinthians contains some spiritual nuggets of the proofs or evidences of the outworkings of the lordship of Christ. The test of lordship is systematic giving (16:1-4), control of my schedule (16:5-9), and control of my relationships with other Christians (16:10-18). When Christ is Lord, even my greetings will be holy and genuine. | Ed Miller | Corinthians01_25Chap16_Conclusion.mp3 | I Corinthians 16 | ||||||
| 81 | New Testament Books | Church Epistles | Philippians | (Philippians 01) Introduction | 4313 | The theme of the book of Philippians is deeper than happiness and joy. The normal Christian life is the life that's filled with Christ, and the life that's filled with Christ is filled and overflowing with the joy of the Lord. The glory of this short epistle is that it takes you back to the simplicity of the Christian life: a love affair between you and the Lord Jesus! | Ed Miller | Philipians_01Intro.mp3 | Philippians 1 - 4 | ||||||
| 82 | New Testament Books | Church Epistles | Philippians | (Philippians 02) Introduction Chapter 01 | 4313 | Even in a "non-problem" church like Philippi, the two problems that arose were disunity and legalism. Paul had a joyous confidence in prayer and the spread of the gospel through adverse circumstances, and in this we too can take joyous confidence in the Lord. | Ed Miller | Philipians_02IntroChap01.mp3 | Philippians 1:1-18 | ||||||
| 83 | New Testament Books | Church Epistles | Philippians | (Philippians 03) Chapter 01:19-30 | 4313 | What gave Paul joyous confidence in death? The all-sufficiency of Christ assured him with earnest expectation for Christ to be what he was not. Paul rested in the sovereignty of God, tasting Christ through all of life's sufferings. Paul's hope was in the consummation of salvation--the King of Grace had conquered the king of terrors (death)! | Ed Miller | Philipians_03Chap01_19-30.mp3 | Philippians 1:19-30 | ||||||
| 84 | New Testament Books | Church Epistles | Philippians | (Philippians 04) Introduction Chapter 02 | 4313 | Christ is the source of joyous humility, which is obedience. Jesus' disposition was, "For Me to live is My Father, and to die is gain." Go after Christ alone and you will be empty; when Christ comes in, He displaces things! | Ed Miller | Philipians_04IntroChap02.mp3 | Philippians 2:1-13 | ||||||
| 85 | New Testament Books | Church Epistles | Philippians | (Philippians 05) Chapter 02 | 4313 | God made a name for Jesus, but Christ is the supreme example of someone who didn't try to make a name for himself. Ed shares common pitfalls of using the "name of Jesus" like a kind of magic wand rather than seeing that name as representing the Person and all He stands for. Like a magnificent church organ, we have no ability to perform until some master organist sits at the keys and unlocks the beauty of it. (NOTE: Only the first 40 minutes of this message are recorded.) | Ed Miller | Philipians_05Chap02.mp3 | Philippians 2:1-13 | ||||||
| 86 | New Testament Books | Church Epistles | Philippians | (Philippians 06) Chapter 03: Race | 4313 | How do we start the race? It's by the finished work of Jesus Christ. I'm not ready to run the race if there's one drop of self-righteousness in my life. We continue the race by seeing Christ as my substitute--every victory, honor and blessing that belongs to Christ belongs to every Christian! (NOTE: Only the first 43 minutes of this message are recorded.) | Ed Miller | Philipians_06Chap03_Race.mp3 | Philippians 3 | ||||||
| 87 | New Testament Books | Church Epistles | Philippians | (Philippians 07) Chapter 04: Conclusion | 4313 | Chapter 4 trumpets the theme of Christ our joyous strength. As Euodia and Syntyche discovered, we need the Lord to strengthen us in the little things as well as the big things. Perfect contentment comes not in things, people or circumstances but in the Lord Himself. | 1985-06-06 | Ed Miller | Philipians_07Chap04Conclusion.mp3 | Philippians 4 | |||||
| 88 | New Testament Books | Church Epistles | Romans | (Romans 01) Introduction | 4301 | Ed gives an introduction to Romans as a whole, a book said by Martin Luther to be "the masterpiece of the New Testament". As the very first book of the explanation books (epistles), it contains "all of the eggs in one basket". Romans emphasizes a total salvation (past, present and future) not as a plan but the Person of Jesus Christ. | Ed Miller | Romans_01Intro.mp3 | Romans | ||||||
| 89 | New Testament Books | Church Epistles | Romans | (Romans 02) Chapter 1:1-17 The Gospel | 4301 | The opening verses of the book of Romans present Christ as three-fold salvation and the Apostle Paul as a complete Christian. Jesus Christ is not in the Gospel; He is the Gospel. A complete Christian is a bondservant of Jesus Christ, lives by simple, childlike faith, and ministers to all people. | Ed Miller | Romans_02Chap01_1-17.mp3 | Romans 1:1-17 | ||||||
| 90 | New Testament Books | Church Epistles | Romans | (Romans 03) Chapters 1:18-3:21 The Bad News | 4301 | Man cannot appreciate Christ as salvation until he first sees his need--depraved man is God's picture of sin abounding. Sin is the measure of how far man has fallen below God. How does God show mercy and kindness to the heathen? | Ed Miller | Romans_03Chap01_03.mp3 | Romans 1:18-3:21 | ||||||
| 91 | New Testament Books | Church Epistles | Romans | (Romans 04) Chapters 2-3 The Good News for the Bad News | 4301 | Before God can thrill us with Christ as our justification, sanctification and glorification, He must show us the dark side--our need (chapter 2). How a person is justified (3:21-31) is one of the most strategic passages in the Bible. Ed unpacks a wealth of truth from this "perfect spot to see the most of God"--at the cross! | Ed Miller | Romans_04Chap02_03.mp3 | Romans 2 - 3 | ||||||
| 92 | New Testament Books | Church Epistles | Romans | (Romans 05) Chapter 3:21-31 The Ground of Justification | 4301 | The blood of Jesus is a just and perfect ground for complete acceptance before God. All law-keeping is condemned by God. Adam's sin was imputed to you; your sin was imputed to Christ; and Christ's righteousness was imputed to you! | Ed Miller | Romans_05Chap03.mp3 | Romans 3:21-31 | ||||||
| 93 | New Testament Books | Church Epistles | Romans | (Romans 06) Chapter 4 Faith | 4301 | Chapter 4 described the instrument by which we experience Christ our justification--faith. Ed labors to show from Romans what faith is not, such as something that has its own intrinsic value. Faith is the "hand" of the heart, centered upon one Object, the Lord Jesus Christ. Abraham becomes the Old Testament example that faith is receiving the revelation of God. | Ed Miller | Romans_06Chap04.mp3 | Romans 4 | ||||||
| 94 | New Testament Books | Church Epistles | Romans | (Romans 07) Chapter 5:1-11 | 4301 | God's love is beyond all human example! Hope in the New Testament is what gives fixity to the Christian. Everything that's happening in your life is to show you Jesus from the Bible or getting you ready to see Him. | Ed Miller | Romans_07Chap05.mp3 | Romans 5:1-11 | ||||||
| 95 | New Testament Books | Church Epistles | Romans | (Romans 08) Chapter 5:12-21 | 4301 | Ed shares the principle of universal infant salvation from these passages that press home the first and Last Adam as representatives of the whole human race. Christ brings you beyond where Adam was before the Fall. Now God sees us not as individuals but sees us in Christ! | Ed Miller | Romans_08Chap05.mp3 | Romans 5:12-21 | ||||||
| 96 | New Testament Books | Church Epistles | Romans | (Romans 09) Chapter 6 through 8 Overview | 4301 | Ed labors to highlight the major approaches commentators having taken for Romans 6 to 8 in order to draw attention to the common denominator approach: victory is a Person--Christ Jesus. The more Jesus fills up the landscape of my life, the more I am free from sin. Every time God shows you a new revelation of Christ, let your heart just say, "Yes, I want that." | Ed Miller | Romans_09Chap06_08Overview.mp3 | Romans 6 - 8 | ||||||
| 97 | New Testament Books | Church Epistles | Romans | (Romans 10) Chapter 6:1 - 7:6 Victory | 4301 | Victory flows out of romance: loving Jesus. Christ, who has the victory, has already set you free! We don't have to worry about sin for Jesus our substitute has defeated sin; now we can get to the business of knowing God. | Ed Miller | Romans_10Chap0607.mp3 | Romans 6:1 - 7:6 | ||||||
| 98 | New Testament Books | Church Epistles | Romans | (Romans 11) Chapter 6:13-23 | 4301 | Sanctification is hindered by antinomianism (doing nothing) and legalism (doing everything). A legalist depends upon spiritual activity (quiet time, prayer, witnessing, etc.) to stay spiritual, but new covenant obedience is radically different in its goal, motive and power. Just behold the Lord Jesus Christ and life takes care of itself. | Ed Miller | Romans_11Chap06_13-23.mp3 | Romans 6:13-23 | ||||||
| 99 | New Testament Books | Church Epistles | Romans | (Romans 12) Chapter 7 | 4301 | The law is both reveals sin and evokes the power of sin. Ed addresses the different approaches that influence the one who loves God, hates sin, and is unable to perform. We are like King Saul who needed another life--the heavenly David--to come in with the heavenly "harp" (the Holy Spirit of chapter 8). | Ed Miller | Romans_12Chap07.mp3 | Romans 7 | ||||||
| 100 | New Testament Books | Church Epistles | Romans | (Romans 13) Chapter 8:1-11 The Holy Spirit | 4301 | Chapter 8 introduces us into a new step in the victory: the Holy Spirit. God puts into man a new law of spiritual genetics, a fixed principle by which the child bears the resemblance of the Parent. Contrasted with the futility of law-keeping in chapter 7, walking in the Spirit becomes the habit of our lives! | Ed Miller | Romans_13Chap08_1-11.mp3 | Romans 8:1-11 |
