What a blessing to hear a faithful preaching of God's Word. Be blessed.

This is the first series I have watched with Pastor Gary. I really understand this book now andove how you explain it. Not know Hebrew or Greek really does hinder me and I'm sure many others not knowing the customs and traditions of the Jews in ancient times. Thank you so 💓 much Pastor Gary 🙏 for this. I'm from South 🇿🇦 God bless you and your family, faith and strength in your future ministry for all people

When I hear to proper explanation of the gospel. by faith alone, I subscribe. very few now a days who hold to this essential truth

Such a clear explanation! Thank you

Amazing teaching and soulful sharing of the Word of the Lord. Particularly 3:19-20 very clear and concise inter-connection of Luke 16 and Ephesuans 4. God bless you abundandly for sharing the light. Thanks.

Shakes head

1 Peter 3:21 "...baptism, which now saves you ... by the resurrection of Jesus Christ." Rom 6 and Col 2:12 say that baptism "immerses" you into Jesus' resurrection which is the concept Peter has limited his discussion to here in 1 Peter 3:21. And to be "resurrected with Christ" is another way of saying "regenerated" or “born again” - and this occurs in baptism as cited previously. A regenerated person is going to live a righteous life which is attended by a good conscience as Peter mentions here and which will "testify" to God in the final judgement (Rom 2:6-16). Further, baptism washes away past sins (Acts 2:38, 22:16) which also provides for a clean conscience. So, we have complete provision for our conscience - both past sins committed as well as for the future by making possible the living of an obedient life going forward through a new birth patterned after God’s righteous character (Eph 4:24). Paul covers the whole spectrum of what baptism does; saving a person from the power of sin and regeneration to a new, righteous, life while Peter here focuses on the latter part; how baptism "births" a righteous person which God will deliver into His eternal kingdom just like Jesus was admitted to God's presence, after His resurrection as Peter reminds us here, because He, like Noah, was righteous (John 16:10).

Interesting study but the explanation of baptism was very far from what the passage of scripture was saying and also what the early Church believed.

31:27 "God provided the boat for Noah?" Really? I thought God told Noah to BUILD the boat? What if he hadn't obeyed God's instruction? Would he have been saved? In this instance and in the Exodus, the people had to obey in order to be "saved." We have to obey in order to receive the salvation God offers.

A great extrapolation of I Pet 3 by a well-informed Bible teacher. Would be great if all members of the C,O.C. persuasion could only understand that what he taught about baptism is the Bible truth. But instead they will continue to propagate their "works - based" plan of salvation. (Sad)
