861 - Les Feldick Bible Study - Lesson 3 Part 1 Book 72 - The Big Picture Salvation and Good Works 1

https://lesfeldickbiblestudy.com Through the Bible with Les Feldick LESSON 3 * PART 1 * BOOK 72 THE BIG PICTURE PRE-TRIBULATION RAPTURE SALVATION & GOOD WORKS - 1 My, it’s good to see everybody in today. We’ve even had to set up some bleacher seats back there. And we’re sorry about that. We’re going to have to see about more tables or something. But anyhow, we’ve got folks from, I hope I can remember, Indiana and Michigan and New York. Was that right? And then a lot of new folks from right around here in Oklahoma. We’re glad to see everybody. We trust that the Lord will bless us with a great afternoon in the Word. Again, for those of you joining us on television, in case this is the first time you’re catching us, if you’re like everybody else, “I was just going through clicking and I saw the blackboard.” And they stop. Well, if you’re one of those today watching the program, we’re just an informal Bible study. I never attack anybody, hopefully. All I want to do is just show folks what the Book says, and then you do with it what you will. Then it’s no longer my responsibility, it’s yours. We know that the Lord has been blessing that approach, because we are getting such a response. I could stand here for twenty-four hours just telling you of pastors and Bible teachers that are calling to tell me how they have finally seen the light. Some will say, “How did I miss this for forty years?” It’s just amazing. I’ll just briefly give you one example. He had two Ph.D.’s in theology and had pastored for forty years. He retired and somebody gave him a satellite. The first day he had the satellite, he caught my program. Got hooked, and after twelve months of studying and seeing all this, he called and said, “I had to tell you. How did I miss all this through all that education and forty years of preaching? I’d never heard it before.” And that’s just one. I could stand here, like I said, for twenty-four hours. But anyway, we want to open the Word and let people study it and see it on their own. Okay, Iris is my promoter, you know, and she said to let people know that we have this eight-hour video of our last cruise on the Aegean Sea. The theme of all of my lectures on board ship was “Why Paul?.” And of course I start out with: the Lord had Twelve Apostles, why did He need another one? So we titled that series “Why Paul?.” That’s available on an eight-hour tape. Then she wants me to keep reminding you that this one and only book we’ve published has been received fantastically. Invariably, if somebody gets a copy, they call right back and order several more for gifts. It’s just amazing. And they get a copy into the hands of all their friends and relatives. So, it’s really a good little book that we sell for $11. It is eighty-eight questions, and the answers are taken from the program material. Okay, I think that’s enough for announcements. We’re in the last four programs now of book 72. The whole series of this book I’ve been using to prove, at least from my mindset, why we believe in a Pre-Tribulation Rapture. Hopefully now in these next four programs I’ll be able to open a lot of minds with the Lord’s direction and get a lot of people who previously were doubtful and convince them that, yes, we can stand on a Pre-Tribulation out-calling. That we will not go into the Tribulation. So, that’s the whole theme of these twelve programs. All right, still on that basis then, moving into the last four lessons, we’re going to start with Ephesians chapter 3. And I admit a lot of this is repetition. I just saw a little bit of the program before we left this morning and that was way back in book number 6. And I was on almost the same thing that I’m going to be touching on today. But my, that was 15 years ago. And a lot of people have missed all that, so we don’t apologize for repeating some of these things. All right, Ephesians chapter 3 and let’s start reading at verse 1. For this cause (In other words, because of what he has written in those first two chapters – we’re saved by faith plus nothing!) I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles, 2. If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given to me to you-ward.” That is to Gentiles. “How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote before in few words, 4. Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ.) 5. Which in other ages (or past generations) was not made known to the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;” In other words, Paul’s co-workers. “That the Gentiles (Now I’m hitting that word extra hard for a purpose.) should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel: 7. #LesFeldick #BibleStudy #Bible
