After taking some time to review modesty and the sacredness of the human body, we begin to see that God has made a distinction between the sexes or genders.  The issue of Gender Identity that we face in our world today is the direct result of man’s rebellion against God, played out in our refusal  to honor God with our bodies.  Watch or listen as we go through Scripture to show what God’s word says on this important topic,especially in this world where society has lost its sense of decency.

Follow along with us on our journey teaching on The Body, The Soul and The Spirit of man. We have learned that the Body (outer man) is an instrument or tool with which our inner man interacts with the physical realm.

Our bodies are to be used to glorify God. In fact, our bodies are a temple of the Holy Ghost. As such, we should take care to honor God with our bodies, within and without.

008 Body, Soul & Spirit - The Body and Sanctity Pt 4 | Gender Identity (12-11-19 WD)

Listen as we continue looking at the Beatitudes. This week we looked at: "Blessed Are The Peacemakers"
 
We have introduced the beatitudes, and looked at to whom Jesus was speaking and what the overall subject matter is about. By doing so, we endeavor not to take anything out of context and apply Scripture falsely.

We have studied:
Blessed Are The Poor In Spirit
Blessed Are They That Mourn
Blessed Are The Meek
Blessed Are They That Hunger and Thirst After Righteousness
Blessed Are The Merciful
Blessed Are The Pure In Heart

031 Blessed Are Ye - The Beatitudes Part 4 - Mat 5:1-12 (12-15-19 SS)

We are now entering a transitional place in the Book of Romans. 

Paul has shared with the readers such great and wonderful truths and sums them up by saying that nothing "shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord". Then here in Chapter nine he begins with some very sobering words.

034 Romans 9:1-5 An Unbelievable Burden (12 - 15 - 19 PM)

Gabriel makes an appearance and delivers some impossible news! Each individual affected by Gabriel’s message seems to have a different response:

Zacharias Doubted
Mary Wondered
John Leaped
Elisabeth Rejoiced
Joseph Pondered 

Then as we look at the Gabriel’s reply to Zacharias, Mary and Joseph we learn an important lesson of how we should react when we are facing the Impossible. After all, we have The God of the Impossible. For with God, all things are possible.
