What is The Gospel?
You would think that this is a simple question that anyone who identifies themselves as a Christian would easily be able to answer. Unfortunately, that is definitely not the case. In this radio program, Aaron gives a complete description of the Gospel. He describes not only the forgiveness of sins, but the restoration of the life of God we had lost in Adam. In many of his teachings, Aaron assumes a person has a clear understanding of that which defines us as Christians. Those who know and believe the Gospel.
How Will the Grace of God Guide Us?
This program is the follow up to the program describing, "What is The Gospel?" Taking things one step further, Aaron gives a clear explanation of what a believer does now that they have been saved. New belivers are often taught to pursue a set of rules, laws, a type of lifestyle, or a set of "hedges" around their life to start living for Christ. Revealing how the grace of God will transform our heart and fundamentally who we are, Aaron explains why the grace of God is sufficient for all aspects of our life.
The Image of God
It is common for people to suggest we are in the image of God. In this broadcast, Aaron expains why we are no longer in the image of God when we are born into this world. Instead, we are in the image of what it is like not to have our God. Once we are saved, we have the privelage of reflecting what we receive from our God through our interactive relationship with Him. Aaron explains how and why this occurs so that we can be a testimony of our Creator, so that the invisible God can be manifested visibly in this World now and today.
The Lamp of God
According to Proverbs 20:27, The spirit of man is the lamp of God, searching the inner depths of His heart. In this broadcast, Aaron reveals how the oil of the Holy Spirit will burn within us, to illuminate our very being, to see the inner depths of the heart of God.
Understanding Forgiveness
The subject of forgiveness is vital to the growth of a believer in the Lord Jesus. In this series of six broadcasts, Aaron explains the forgiveness we have already received through what Jesus did for us on the cross. He addresses some of the misconceptions in the most popular teachings on this subject, and ends the series with an explanation on how you can forgive others as you have already been forgiven.
Understanding the Tithe
Beginning with the historical foundations of society and government, Aaron presents a series of broadcasts explaining the purpose of the tithe in Israel. Expanding from the historical foundation, Aaron explains why the tithe has no application in the Church today. He addresses the two most popular passages in Scriptures that are referred to when people teach tithing, Malachi 3 and Hebrews 7. He ends the almost 3 hours of teaching on this subject with an explanation of how we are to give in light of the New Covenant that is in effect.
The History and Purpose of Baptism
In these series of broadcasts, Aaron presents a complete explanation of the history and purpose of Baptism before John the Baptist. Baptism has been one of the most controversial subjects in Christianity since the establishment of the Church. Aaron explains that it has become controversial because it’s context in Israel during the time of Jesus has been ignored.
Spiritual Warfare
When it comes to the subject of Spiritual Warfare, people are normally thinking of it as an opportunity to cast demons out of people and assert their authority over the Devil. People are looking for opportunities to pray in different ways or heal people of their diseases and injuries. These are real circumstances in life and I do recognize that many people encounter and engage our enemy in these ways. However, I sincerely believe that the predominant battle we are engaged in is the battle between the truth and the lie, and the battleground is your mind.
Instead of presenting this subject from the traditional point of view, I addressed this subject in the context of law and grace. The series turned out to be 8 programs, recorded on 4 CDs of very hard hitting and strong teaching, exposing the most predominant satanic lie that holds people in bondage. The lie of, “if you will only know what is good and evil, you can be like God.” Several people have mentioned that the depth of this series is well beyond anything they have ever heard or even considered. It has opened their eyes well beyond what they ever imagined. It is definitely the best series I have done up to this date. It is a difficult subject to understand well if you did not hear all of the programs in order. It is a sequential study and I assumed you heard the previous programs when recording the later ones. If you have not heard the whole series in order, please download them for free right now, or order the CDs through the website, or mail a check with your request to Living God Ministries.
The Scale between Law and Grace
In most cases, people attempt to live a healthy well balanced life between law and grace. This means they try to live as best they can, and then rely on the grace of God to make up the difference for when they fall short. In this program, Aaron explained how this belief contradicts the Law of God, and that we need to get completely off the scale if we are going to begin to mature in our relationship with Christ Jesus.
The Healing of the Man Born Blind
The healing of the man born blind was a very significant moment in the ministry of the Lord Jesus, and the Nation of Israel at this time. In addition to being a Messianic miracle, the polarization that resulted was a wonderful opportunity for the people to be confronted with the claims of the Lord Jesus. Describing this miracle in context of the Feast of Tabernacles, Aaron illuminates the Scriptures in a profound way in these two milestone programs.
The Healing of the Jewish Leper
When reading about the healing of the Jewish leper, it is easy to pass it by thinking that it was just another miracle to add to the list. In Luke 5:17, it says, "... there were some Pharisees and teachers of the law sitting there, who had come from every village of Galilee and Judea and from Jerusalem;" This was a major miracle that inspired the convergence of representatives from the entire land of Israel. In this program, Aaron explains the importance of this miracle according to the theology of the Pharisees and rabbinical authorities of that time.
The Genealogy of Jesus
When a person first begins to read through the Gospels, there are many things that are difficult to understand. Many assumptions were made by the authors when recording the events that took place and the truths that Jesus presented when He taught. These assumptions are cultural, historical and religious in nature. To fully appreciate what was recorded, it is necessary to understand the foundations established in the Old Testament and the beliefs of the people at the time period Jesus conducted His ministry. The genealogy of Jesus is one of the most misunderstood topics in this regard. Understanding how and why genealogies were recorded is necessary to fully appreciate their purpose and meaning. The two genealogies were not recorded to be a contradiction. They were both recorded by Mathew and Luke for important reasons that address several issues regarding the fulfillment of prophecies. In this broadcast, Aaron explains why there are two different genealogies of Jesus in the Gospels.
The Lord's Supper
The Lord's Supper is one of the most popular sacraments in Religion today. Aaron explains the last supper of the Lord Jesus from its proper context; the Passover. Understanding the purpose of the Passover, this subject can be looked at in a very different way.
Choosing the Disciples
In John 1:48,49 it says, "Nathanael said to Him, "How do You know me?" Jesus answered and said to him, "Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I say you." Nathanael answered Him, "Rabbi, You are the Son of God; You are the King of Israel." Obviousely, there were a few things left out in this dialogue. In this program Aaron fills in the gaps and explains why Nathanael would have responded in this way to what the Lord Jesus said.
Do not do according to their Takanot
In Matthew 23:2,3 Jesus said, "The scribes and the Pharisees have seated themselves in the chair of Moses; therefore all that they tell you, do and observe, but do not do according to their deeds; for they say things, and do not do them.
The Lord Jesus had many confrontations with the scribes and the Pharisees over what they taught. Why would He tell His disciples to now do what they say? In this program, Aaron explains the history of Pharisaical Judaism and gives a better translation from the Hebrew text of the Gospel of Matthew.
The Sermon on the Mount
This new series is a remake of the old one. It is 6 programs on 3 CDs presenting the Sermon on the Mount from a historical and cultural frame of reference. This is definitely a unique presentation that looks at what Jesus taught, from a point of view that I have never heard anyone consider. The quality of the teaching is definitely a significant improvement over the previous programs, in addition to having better sound quality.
Accounting for the Three Days and Three Nights
How do you get three days and three nights from Friday to Sunday? The answer is that you don't. In these programs, Aaron explains in detail how you can account for all three days and three nights in the Scriptures. His explanation is simple, concise and without the traditional timing gymnastics. Understanding the differences between the laws of Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread, and the differences between the Sabbath of the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread and the seventh day Sabbath, it is easy to identify all three days and three nights.
Cain and Abel
When it comes to translating the Scriptures from Hebrew to English, it is easy to make slight errors. In these two programs, Aaron explains the deeper meanings of Genesis 4:1 and 4:7 by giving an accurate translation on these passages
Your Identity in Christ
Beginning with a presentation of Cain and Abel, Aaron uses Cain's identity crisis as an introduction to the subject. He used the example of Cain to emphasize that knowing our identity is only a first step to discovering more about our inheritance in Christ Jesus. This is an important subject that enables us to better understand some of the controversial passages in the New Testament that have to do with the subject of Law and Grace.
The Will of God
Some of the most common questions a Christian asks have to do with seeking what God desires for them to have or do. When considering decisions such as where should a person live, or what kind of job should a person have, or should they have a relationship with one person or another, a person will appeal to their God, seeking guidance and direction. People will often ask, "what is the will of God for my life." With sincere devotion people will devote their lives to trying to discover what their God wants them to do. However, there is an entirely different way to consider the will of God for our lives. In these 4 programs, Aaron explains the will of God as a description of the inheritance we have received as a result of His death. Considering this entirely different perspective, Aaron explains how we live our daily lives with what we have received, instead of trying to live our lives with what we hope to get. This series is a significant milestone for Living God Ministries.
The Discipline of God
When it comes to our daily lives, a common belief is that our God is following us around, looking for a sin He would like us to stop committing. Many believe that He will then intervene in our lives to ensure we experience pain, suffering and loss, to inspire us to stop committing that particular sin. This belief is described as the discipline of God, referring the Hebrew 12:4-13. In this program, Aaron explains this belief, and how it contradicts what we know about the Gospel. He then explained that the passage in Hebrews refers to the preparation of a future event, not the punishment for a past event.
Keeping His Commandments
What did the Lord Jesus mean when he said, "If you love me, keep my commandments?" When people ask this question, most often this is asked to accuse someone of being a false teacher for not telling people to keep the commandments. In these two programs, Aaron gets right to the point and explains why the Lord Jesus said this.
The Dietary Laws
What is the penalty for eating a bacon double cheeseburger? The one set of laws that are likely the easiest to obey are often emphasized by many as the key to being blessed by God. However, it is very unusual to find someone who knows what the penalty is for violating these laws. Regardless of the penalty or personal benefits, Aaron explains how and why the dietary laws were an integral part of the salvation we now have in the Lord Jesus.
The Sabbath Law
The law was a shadow of the reality that has now been revealed in Christ Jesus. In the first part of this series Aaron describes the law of the Sabbath, explaining the requirements of the law. In the second part of this series I explain the reality we live in today in light of what Jesus has done for us. Teaching through Hebrews 3 and 4, Aaron explains the real rest that we as the people of God enter into.
Hebrews 6:4-6
Many people shy away from the letter to the Hebrews because of these verses. They are normally taught in such a way that they will leave a person with total condemnation and uncertainty as to whether or not they will ever have a relationship with God. Aaron explains why they are to be interpreted differently and how they can give us absolute confidence in what we do already have, because of what Jesus has done for us.
Hebrews 10:26,27
The Lord Jesus died for the sins of the entire world, and in Him we have forgiveness for our sins. These verses have been read and taught by many people in such a way that they contradict this important foundational truth of the Gospel. In this broadcast, Aaron explains these verses in the context of the Gospel, and shows that those who are teaching these verses out of this context have no sacrifice for their sin.
Faith and Works
In Romans 3:28, Paul wrote, "For we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from works of the Law." However,
in James 2:24, James wrote, "You see that a man is justified by works, and not by faith alone."
When considering these two passages in the Scriptures, many people have attempted to reconcile the apparent differences. In these programs Aaron considered the possibility that Paul and James did not agree, and referred to several other passages in the Scriptures that could support this assumption. Comparing Acts 15 and Galatians 2, Aaron explains these two passages from a fresh perspective that can give better support for the consistency of the testimony of the Scriptures.
Prayer
The subject of prayer is a difficult one when it comes to specifics. It is a personal experience of communicating with the Living God. In these programs, Aaron addresses the subject from a general point of view, answering many common questions that people ask about prayer. A sixth program will be recorded and uploaded soon.
The Gift of Tongues
The gift of tongues has been one of the most controversial subjects in Christianity for the past century. A polorization has taken place between Christians with regards to this subject that has led to more division than any other teaching in the current age. Most of the arguments have to do with whether or not the gift is in operation today, or ended with the early church. I have asked a different question, "What is the gift of tongues?" Looking at this subject from the perspecitve of Judiasm in the first century, new insights are presented in these broadcasts that can bring greater clarity to this subject.
The Trinity
Would you sign a contract that you did not understand? You probably wouldn't, but there are many people who sincerely believe that you don't have to understand the subject of the Trinity. You may not understand it, but you certainly do have to apprehend it. In other words, if you do not accept something you do not understand, you are likely at risk of going to Hell. When Aaron's presentation of the Trinity was brought up on the popular Bible Answerman program, Hank said that he definitely rejected this position because it was understandable. The following 4 programs are an understandable explanation of the subject of the Trinity.
The Miracle of Hanukkah
In these programs, Aaron gives a detailed presentation of the history related to the miracle of Hanukkah, and explains how God revealed Himself in the midst of the difficulties faced by the children of Israel.
Hearing from the Holy Spirit
When it comes to experiencing a personal relationship with another, the most important part is the mutual dialogue they share with one another. What does it mean to hear from God? How do you know if He is speaking to you? In this program, Aaron addresses this subject through testifying of his own growth in faith.
