Memory VersePaul, servant belonging to Jesus Christ, called, apostle, having been separated unto [the] gospel from God which He promised before through His prophets in Holy Writings concerning His Son; the One having come to be out from [the] seed of David according to the flesh (Romans 1:1–3).

Pastor Luther Walker discusses the Greek verb allegoreo (ἀλληγορέω), meaning “to speak allegorically” or “to speak otherwise,” derived from roots implying “other” and “to speak publicly.” This term appears only once in the New Testament, in Galatians 4:24, where Paul uses it to describe the story of
Memory VerseAnd this I say, the covenant ratified by God to Christ, the law, having come to be four hundred and thirty years later, cannot revoke unto the annulment of the promise, Galatians 3:17.

Memory VerseFor this one is counted worthy of more glory than Moses, according to as much as the one having built the house has more honor than the house, Hebrews 3:3. Moses was a faithful household servant in his dispensation (Hebrews 3:5). The administration of law was the fifth household made by
Memory VerseBut just as it is written, “The things which [the] eye has not discerned and the ear has not heard and has not ascended upon the heart of man, the things which the God has prepared for those who are loving Him.”, 1 Corinthians 2:9.God has done a work through the cross of Christ that no o
Memory VerseNo one has watched Deity at any time. If we love one another, God abides in us, and His love is in a state of having been brought to maturity in us, 1 John 4:12.

Memory VerseBrethren, according to man I speak. Nevertheless, concerning a covenant of man, having been ratified, no one sets it aside or adds to it, Galatians 3:15. Even by the standards of men, once a covenant has been ratified, it cannot be added to or annulled. In light of this, how much more ar
Pastor Luther Walker’s teaching explores the deeper meaning of the Greek word ἐξαγοράζω (exagorazō), often translated simply as “redeemed” in English Bibles.

Memory VerseBut we speak wisdom from God in a mystery, the hidden [mystery], which God marked off beforehand before the ages unto a proper opinion of us, which none of the rulers of this age knew. For if they had known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory, 1 Corinthians 2:7–8. The wisdom
Philōs (φιλος) expresses fondness in the sense of affection or attachment, which relates to the soul. It is one of four Greek words used to describe the feelings and connections towards others.

Memory VerseBrethren, since thusly the God loved us, we are obligated to love one another, 1 John 4:11. God expressed His love towards the world by giving His Son (John 3:16).

Memory VerseIn the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second new moon, the seventeenth day of the new moon, on that day all the springs of the great deep were broken open, and the windows of the heavens were opened, Genesis 7:11.

Memory VerseAnd we speak wisdom among the mature, indeed a wisdom not from this age nor from the rulers of this age, this [age] that is being rendered idle (1 Corinthians 2:6). Wisdom is the proper use of knowledge. Human wisdom is based upon philosophy and the traditions of men. Scripture does not
Memory VerseIn this is the love, not that we loved the God, but that He loves us and sent His Son to be a propitiation concerning our sins (1 John 4:10). We were never in a state of loving God. When the Son came into the world, not even His own people accepted Him (John 1:11). Today, even after such
This term for a child, describes a stage of development in humans where they are able to speak but are not knowledgeable enough to make sense in what they are conveying with words and actions.
