| 1 | New Testament Books | Reality Epistles | I John | (I John 01) Introduction | 4501 | In the introductory lesson, Ed calls attention to four observations as a whole, such as the great theme of fellowship with God. Written by the rich old seasoned saint, John, the letter has a message for everybody--young and old. The warning to point us to Christ is that it is possible to talk about life without really experiencing it. | Ed Miller | Join1_01Intro.mp3 | 1 John | ||||||
| 2 | New Testament Books | Reality Epistles | I John | (I John 02) God Is Light | 4501 | The Christian life is to see Jesus and fellowship with God. God is "faithful and just" to His Son to forgive us, not "merciful and kind" because of His relationship to us. Though God may delay answering a prayer, He never delays answering a prayer to come back into the light! | Ed Miller | Join1_02GodIsLight.mp3 | 1 John 1 | ||||||
| 3 | New Testament Books | Reality Epistles | I John | (I John 03) Walking In The Light | 4501 | Walking in the light does not mean you are perfect but you are perfectly clean. If I am walking in the light, I will be God-centered concerning my sin looking at the cross. The Father is not looking at your sin; He's looking at the Son! | Ed Miller | Join1_03WalkingInTheLight.mp3 | 1 John 1:5-10 | ||||||
| 4 | New Testament Books | Reality Epistles | I John | (I John 04) Walking In The Light | 4501 | The third evidence of walking in the lioght is my attitude towards false teaching. Our assurance is that the more we know the truth, the more we know the false. | Ed Miller | Join1_04WalkingInTheLight.mp3 | 1 John 2 | ||||||
| 5 | New Testament Books | Reality Epistles | I John | (I John 05) God Is Righteousness | 4501 | Ed shares 3 big approaches to the revelation of God is righteousness that can influence us: legalists, holiness movement, and mystics. It is the sight of Jesus that kills the old sin nature, not death or heaven. Jesus is my hope for being like Jesus! | Ed Miller | Join1_05GodIsRighteousness.mp3 | 1 John 3 | ||||||
| 6 | New Testament Books | Reality Epistles | I John | (I John 06) God Is Love | 4501 | How do I know that I am walking in love? Ed summarizes from John's epistle that some people won't like me, I will be pouring out, and I will have an assurance. Love is generated by God; if you have to work at it, it's not God. | Ed Miller | Join1_06GodIsLove.mp3 | 1 John 4 | ||||||
| 7 | New Testament Books | Reality Epistles | I John | (I John 07) God Is Life | 4501 | What will my life look like if I surrender to Jesus Christ? The Christian life is His ability to produce His life in us; we appropriate Him by simple faith (not attempting to copy Him). Eternal life is a quality of life characterized by union with Christ in which obedience is not a struggle. | Ed Miller | Join1_07GodIsLife.mp3 | 1 John 5 | ||||||
| 8 | New Testament Books | Reality Epistles | I John | (2nd and 3rd John) | 4501 | The message of 2 John is that if I have fellowship with God, I will be separated from all those who do not have fellowship with God. Everything that substitutes Jesus Christ--even the Bible, Church, Holy Spirit, etc.--is the spirit of antichrist. Hospitality is the message of 3 John in which believers are encouraged to open their homes, wallets and hearts. | Ed Miller | Join2_3.mp3 | 2nd and 3rd John | ||||||
| 9 | New Testament Books | Reality Epistles | I Peter | (I Peter 01) Introduction | 4501 | God wants to deliver us completely from the settler life to live the pilgrim life. The recurring emphases in this book are suffering, submission and grace and glory. The one theme is our Lord Jesus as the heart pilgrim. | Ed Miller | Peter01_01Intro.mp3 | 1 Peter | ||||||
| 10 | New Testament Books | Reality Epistles | I Peter | (I Peter 02) Chapter 1: Pilgrim Living | 4501 | Ed points out five characteristics of Jesus as the true pilgrim, such as His undeserved suffering and glories in the end. Peter's encouragement to pilgrims is the thrilling foretaste of Christ now in this life that will be enjoyed in eternity. Our living hope is the revelation of Christ in the Bible; He is the Pilgrim that will rise up in our hearts. | Ed Miller | Peter01_02Chap01.mp3 | 1 Peter 1:1-21 | ||||||
| 11 | New Testament Books | Reality Epistles | I Peter | (I Peter 03) Chapter 1:22-2:12 | 4501 | Whereas chapter 1 shows us our need for a revelation of Jesus, chapter 2 homes in on the source of that revelation--the Word of God. The newborn's craving for milk describes that longing to see Christ for every Christian at every stage. As we appropriate Jesus by simple faith, we will radiate the preciousness of Christ! | Ed Miller | Peter01_03Chap0102.mp3 | 1 Peter 1:22-2:12 | ||||||
| 12 | New Testament Books | Reality Epistles | I Peter | (I Peter 04) Chapter 2:13-2:24 - Submission | 4501 | The pilgrim life from start to finish is a life of submission, a willingness to be done unto. When we are looking to Christ and motivated to make Him happy, we will actually minister Christ to those who have mistreated us. | Ed Miller | Peter01_04Chap02Submission.mp3 | 1 Peter 2:13-24 | ||||||
| 13 | New Testament Books | Reality Epistles | I Peter | (I Peter 05) Chapter 2:21-3:6 | 4501 | The pilgrim submits to undeserved suffering out of love for Jesus not necessarily for the likes of them. The hidden person of the heart is beautiful, giving a 'voiceless testimony' which is the essence of pilgrim living. Such an inner life blesses God and is precious in His sight. | Ed Miller | Peter01_05Chap03.mp3 | 1 Peter 2:21-3:6 | ||||||
| 14 | New Testament Books | Reality Epistles | I Peter | (I Peter 06) Chapter 3:7-16 | 4501 | Husbands are to give a pilgrim submission to their non-pilgrim wives (either unsaved or out of fellowship with God). Giving an answer for the hope within us is living a pilgrim life that can only be explained by God. As we sanctify Christ as Lord, we trust in His sovereignty that He has everything to with undeserved suffering. | Ed Miller | Peter01_06Chap03.mp3 | 1 Peter 3:7-16 | ||||||
| 15 | New Testament Books | Reality Epistles | I Peter | (I Peter 07) Chapter 3:8-4:6 | 4501 | Peter summarizes things by pointing out our submission is not to others but to the Lord. When we go through undeserved suffering, we don't have what it takes so we turn to the faithful Creator to create what we need. The miracle life of pilgrim living is redemptive, designed to bless God, you and the whole wide world. | Ed Miller | Peter01_07Chap0304.mp3 | 1 Peter 3:8 - 4:6 | ||||||
| 16 | New Testament Books | Reality Epistles | I Peter | (I Peter 08) Chapter 4:7-19 | 4501 | A realization of the end should make us sober--a detachment in this world in terms of spiritual living. Sufferings in our lives are to test us, for God wants us real and thoroughly grounded in the truth. On the Christian pilgrim the Spirit of glory is resting; on the non-pilgrim Christian the Spirit has a lot of work to do. | Ed Miller | Peter01_08Chap04.mp3 | 1 Peter 4:7-19 | ||||||
| 17 | New Testament Books | Reality Epistles | I Peter | (I Peter 09) Chapter 4:12-5:5 | 4501 | Testing is a proving designed to expose and discover the genuine so that you can see what you're made of. What you're going through right now is preparing you for the next revelation of Christ you'll see in His Word. Who is the mature one (elder)? An elder is one who's willing to be done unto as an example while he lives in the glory of God. They become the pastures upon which the hungry feed. | Ed Miller | Peter01_09Chap0405.mp3 | 1 Peter 4:12-5:5 | ||||||
| 18 | New Testament Books | Reality Epistles | I Peter | (I Peter 10) Chapter 5:1-14 - Conclusion | 4501 | The final illustration of pilgrim submission is pilgrim submission in the church. In this the elders are not the good guys but "doing unto" the younger. Ed gives five outworkings of the great principle that frees us from worry and self exaltation. | Ed Miller | Peter01_10Chap05_Conclusion.mp3 | 1 Peter 5:1-14 | ||||||
| 19 | New Testament Books | Reality Epistles | II and III John | 2nd and 3rd John | 4501 | Ed Miller | Join2_3.mp3 | ||||||||
| 20 | New Testament Books | Reality Epistles | II Peter | (II Peter 01) Introduction; Grow | 4501 | Ed introduces the epistle of 2 Peter by showing the intended design as a safeguard against error and false teaching: the life of God, the progressive revealing of Christ in Scripture, the character of God, and the hope of Christ's second coming. The key verse of this epistle is 3:18 is grow, an all inclusive safeguard against error. The hope of the Christian who's growing in the knowledge of Jesus is that he's safe as a baby in its mother's arms. | Ed Miller | Peter2_01_Introduction.mp3 | 2 Peter | ||||||
| 21 | New Testament Books | Reality Epistles | II Peter | (II Peter 02) Chapter 1:1-11 Introduction (Continued) | 4501 | The first safeguard God has against false teachers and the spirit of error is the life of God--God Himself in you. To the degree you have faith (which is received as a gift), you have everything! Christian growth starts off with everything Peter lists, just like a newborn has all its parts (eyes, toes, etc.). | Ed Miller | Peter2_02_IntroContd.mp3 | 2 Peter 1:1-11 | ||||||
| 22 | New Testament Books | Reality Epistles | II Peter | (II Peter 03) Chapter 1:15-21 | 4501 | Faith comes by a revelation of Christ through the Bible. The Spirit of God initiates and controls that revelation of Christ that I must see if I'm going to be growing and safeguarded. Faith is easy once you get the revelation. | Ed Miller | Peter2_03Chap01_12-21.mp3 | 2 Peter 1:15-21 | ||||||
| 23 | New Testament Books | Reality Epistles | II Peter | (II Peter 04) Chapter 2 Safeguards | 4501 | God gives us the principle of growth in the settings of the false teachers. 2 Peter 2 cries out, "Let me show you how much you have going for you!" The main point is that from a human level, we cannot identify a false teacher (whose characteristics we share too) nor a righteous man (Lot is set forth as our paradoxical example). God is so faithful to know the heart and ultimately judge the false teacher and deliver the godly. | Ed Miller | Peter2_04Chap02.mp3 | 2 Peter 2 | ||||||
| 24 | New Testament Books | Reality Epistles | II Peter | (II Peter 05) Chapter 3 - Conclusion - Hope of the Second Coming of Christ | 4501 | The three great currents in 2 Peter 3 are eternity, patience, and character. The Second Coming is not the point but the illustration. God is weaning us away from material things and has determined that we will become what we believe. My hope for living in eternity is the patience of God. | Ed Miller | Peter2_05Chap3_Conclusion.mp3 | 2 Peter 3 | ||||||
| 25 | New Testament Books | Reality Epistles | James | (James 01) Introduction | 4501 | The book of James is the first of the reality epistles that check the reality of the message of redemption in the books the precede it. James drives you back to Jesus Christ our High Priest in the book of Hebrews. When I am real in my practical Christianity, it will have strong doctrinal undergirding and theological devotion. | Ed Miller | James_01Intro.mp3 | James | ||||||
| 26 | New Testament Books | Reality Epistles | James | (James 02) Birdseye View | 4501 | James presses home the message that God has made every provision that we can be real through and through. The humanly impossible standards James brings forth to test the reality of our faith are to drive us back to Jesus, our High Priest (e.g. book of Hebrews). Though the Lord Jesus is mentioned only twice, it is thoroughly Christ-centered in that its high standards drive us to Christ. It provides helpful methods for preaching to be encouraging, down-to-earth, and simple. | Ed Miller | James_02BirdeyeView.mp3 | James | ||||||
| 27 | New Testament Books | Reality Epistles | James | (James 03) New Covenant Obedience | 4501 | Every commandment of God is a new covenant commandment; God will work it in me. God's grace the law a law of liberty. Every chapter in James cuts across the grain of the natural heart and is grounded in the lordship of Jesus Christ. The Christian life is summarized as asking God, who gives with both hands, for the reality of faith that expresses itself as a miracle life. | Ed Miller | James_03.mp3 | James 1-5; Deuteronomy 30:11-14 | ||||||
| 28 | New Testament Books | Reality Epistles | James | (James 04) Chapter 1: Trial & Patient Waiting Upon the Lord | 4501 | Apart from trial and trouble in my life, my character will be incomplete. Trials make you like Jesus. Trials drive you to the Lord for wisdom. Patience is continued obedience. True faith blames God for nothing bad and gives Him credit for everything good. | Ed Miller | James_04.mp3 | James 1:1-18 | ||||||
| 29 | New Testament Books | Reality Epistles | James | (James 05) Chapter 1:19-2:13 - Reality Tests | 4501 | If we have been born of God's will, we will live for His will. A right attitude towards the Word of God is a great safeguard against temptation. The chief features of a person rightly related to the Word of God is constantly seeing one's heart in the mirror, salvation, and liberty. Being a respecter of persons is an evidence of unreality that drives me back to my great High Priest who alone can keep me rightly related to God. | Ed Miller | James_05RealityTests.mp3 | James 1:18-2:13 | ||||||
| 30 | New Testament Books | Reality Epistles | James | (James 06) Chapters 2-3 - Reality Tests Continued | 4501 | James 2:14-26 is a key section of the entire book that declares that real faith does not remain alone but is rich in good works. Though Paul and James appear on the surface to contradict each other, in reality they complement each other, Paul stating faith as the grounds of eternal life while James giving faith as a description of it. Paul attacks legalism; James attacks dead orthodoxy. | Ed Miller | James_06.mp3 | James 2-3 | ||||||
| 31 | New Testament Books | Reality Epistles | James | (James 08) Chapters 4-5 - Reality Tests Continued | 4501 | Worldliness is not just being free from questionable practices. Worldliness is much broader according to James, encompassing pride, divisiveness, a critical spirit, worry, and self-planning. Patience is a test of reality. Real patiences waits for Jesus from heaven, not just to get out an awful mess. | Ed Miller | James_08Chap0405.mp3 | James 4-5 | ||||||
| 32 | New Testament Books | Reality Epistles | James | (James 09) Chapter 5 - Scriptural Healing | 4501 | The prayer of faith is based upon the known will of God. Oil has two interpretations: a picture of the Holy Spirit or a symbol of medicine. Ed shares 7 principles that all believers agree on for divine healing, such as all healing is of God and is based on the blood of Christ. The purpose for any prayer or healing is the glory of God. | Ed Miller | James_09ScripturalHealing.mp3 | James 5 | ||||||
| 33 | New Testament Books | Reality Epistles | James | (James 10) Chapter 5 - Conclusion | 4501 | The book of James ends on the redemption from sin, pointing out that all real works are redemptive. When you have the power of the Holy Spirit, you have the power to perform. James' emphasis is on the law of liberty; it becomes bondage when I do it in my own strength. | Ed Miller | James_10Conclusion.mp3 | James 5 | ||||||
| 34 | New Testament Books | Reality Epistles | James | (James 11) Chapter 5:13-19 - Spiritual Restoration | 4501 | Anointing with oil pictures the spiritual reality of the presence of the Lord that clings to us. God's real desire is to heal the inward man. Oil is a reminder of God's willingness to restore. Unanswered prayer (a "closed heaven") is the Lord's mercy to let you see your sin-sick condition. | Tom Wontrop | James_11Chap05_13-19_01.mp3 | James 5:13-19 | ||||||
| 35 | New Testament Books | Reality Epistles | Jude | (Jude 01) Introduction | 4501 | Jude stands as the book that has the great revelation of God as our keeper. Ed shares 4 observations about the book as a whole, such as who Jude is and the recurring themes of heart apostacy and being kept. I am safe because I am being kept for Jesus Christ! | Ed Miller | Jude_01Introduction.mp3 | Jude | ||||||
| 36 | New Testament Books | Reality Epistles | Jude | (Jude 02) Chapter 1:3-19 | 4501 | Of all the big events that happen in the life of the Christian (coming to know God, meeting God, heaven, etc.) Jude keys the presentation, a day coming when every believer will be presented to the Lord Jesus. God is going to keep me from the false teachers by delivering me from their ways (devisiveness, worldly mindedness and being devoid of the Spirit). These common characteristics in our lives point us to God, who has a plan to keep me like Himself. | Ed Miller | Jude_02Chap1_3-19.mp3 | Jude 1:3-19 | ||||||
