Revelation 5:9 And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy
to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast
redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people,
and nation;
Revelation 5:10 And hast made us unto our God kings and priests:
and we shall reign on the earth.

NEW- I taught on the
first video [Mark 2] and spent a few hours with some of my friends. Glenn is homeless-
and we have had some good talks. I share a little of his story on the short
videos. On the teaching video I’ll try and add my past teaching on this
chapter. I haven’t done a commentary on Mark’s gospel- and when I get back to
Texas I might pick up on where I left off and make a complete study out of it.
When I left the guys I thought of possibly doing a NYC video at midnight type
of a thing- I’ve done those before- and you can see how the streets are always
crowded in the ‘city that never sleeps’. But I’ll put that off for now.
On today’s post/video I walked past the spot where I made
some of my first teaching videos- in 2014- below are those videos.

PAST TEACHING- [verses below]
Jesus talks about the story of king David found in Samuel- I
taught that chapter before- 1st Samuel 21- here’s the link to my
study [below I’ll paste the text to my commentary on the chapter]
I mentioned these bible books on today’s video [Mark 2]-
here are my studies on them-
(905)SAMUEL 21- David is fleeing from Saul and he goes to
the priest at Nob. The priest wonders what’s up. David tells him he is on a
special assignment from the king and he and his men need food. The priest tells
him the only food available is the consecrated bread that is only for God and
the priesthood. David convinces the priest to let them eat and David asks ‘do
you have any weapons here’. The priest says ‘I have the sword you used to kill
the giant’ David says ‘great, that will work just fine’. Jesus used this story
to describe himself and the disciples [Mark 2]. One day Jesus and the disciples
were going thru the grain fields and the disciples picked the grain and ate it
on the Sabbath. The Pharisees said ‘your disciples are breaking Gods law by
picking it on the Sabbath’. Now, to be honest they were breaking the over
extended ideas that the religious Pharisees came up with thru their legalism.
But Jesus still used this example as a defense. He says ‘have you not read what
David and his men did? They ate the ceremonial showbread that was not lawful,
only the priests could eat it’. David and his men are a symbol of Jesus and his
men. While it is true that the bread was only lawful for the priests, David is
a king/priest who gets away with doing ‘priestly things’ because of his picture
of Christ. Scripture says he put on an ephod [priestly garment] which only
priests could do. David functioned before the open Ark in Jerusalem .
He did things that other kings were punished for [Saul, Uzziah]. Jesus in
essence was saying to the Pharisees ‘I am the new priest/king from which all
future law and worship will be measured by. Me and my followers are not under
the law, the law serves us’! In Christ we are free from the guilt of the law,
we live above legalism and follow the master. David and his men were acting
like priests and kings contrary to the economy of their day. David was a type
of Jesus whose future priestly ministry would ‘out trump’ the law.

before the latest ‘controversies’- the Hillary WikiLeaks and the Trump video.
It really makes no difference- I’m simply dealing with media bias. Trying to
show how the media decides what to focus on. Yet- the real important issues of

NEW-
David is on the run from King Saul.
He shows up at the house of God and asks the priest for
food.
The priest is nervous- David is alone [not a full military
back up] and something just doesn’t seem right.
David assures the priest ‘look- I’m on a special mission for
the king- it's so secret I left quickly- didn’t even have time to take food or
weapons’.
Wow- this must be some mission?
How about some lie.
Yes- David is good at lots of stuff- and he lied great here.
So- the priest gives David and his few men the Holy bread-
which is only for the priests.
Now- David is not from the priestly tribe- Levi- but from
Judah.
Ok- David takes the food and asks ‘do you have any weapons’?
The priest says ‘only the sword- I mean it’s wrapped up in
the back- we treat the thing like it’s holy’.
Yes- the sword David used to cut the giants head off.
I think David must have felt a little remorse here.
The whole nation had that sword as a memento of David’s
great victory over Goliath.
He used the sword only one time- the day he cut the giants
head off.
After all- it was the giant’s sword.
Now- he’s on the run from Saul- already made up some great
lies- and the priest gives him the weapon he used in the past.
When he trusted in the living God- against all odds- and was
a righteous warrior.
David takes the
sword- goes to the Philistines-
Huh?
Yes- he flees to the enemy camp- and the king of Gath says
‘why did you bring this guy to me- isn’t he David the great warrior who killed
us in the past’.
Now- David seems to have been trying to get a job- you know-
as a mercenary.
He couldn't fight for Saul-and that’s his greatest paying
skill.
But when the philistines recognize him-
Well- what do you think David did?
Maybe yelled out ‘yes- I’m the one who took the giants head
off- and I still come to you in the name of the living God- and…’
Yeah- did he do that John?
Well actually not.
Instead- he started drooling at the mouth- and scribbling on
the doors- you know- like he was nuts.
‘John- you shouldn’t joke about stuff like that’.
I’m not!
Go read it [below].
Yes- the great man after ‘God’s own heart’ was so afraid- he
pretended he was nuts- and yes- the scheme worked-
The king says 'this guy’s not David- that great man of
honor- he’s a nut’!
Ahh- we see what fear can do to a man- even a great man.
Yes- David is in a tough spot-
His own king- Saul- is out to get him.
His only option was to go work for the enemy-
At least that’s what he thought.
And then he not only acted like a nut-
He lied to the priest too.
He ate the bread that Jesus himself said was only for the
priests
25 And he
said unto them, Have ye never read what David did, when he had need, and was an
hungred, he, and they that were with him?
26 How he went
into the house of God in the days of Abiathar the high priest, and did eat the
shewbread, which is not lawful to eat but for the priests, and gave also to
them which were with him? Jesus.
And he schemed his way into a corner.
Does anything good come out of this at all?
Yes- Jesus used this story- when defending himself and his
disciples when they were accused of violating the law.
23 And it
came to pass, that he went through the corn fields on the sabbath day; and his
disciples began, as they went, to pluck the ears of corn.
24 And the
Pharisees said unto him, Behold, why do they on the sabbath day that which is
not lawful?
25 And he
said unto them, Have ye never read what David did, when he had need, and was an
hungred, he, and they that were with him?
26 How he
went into the house of God in the days of Abiathar the high priest, and did eat
the shewbread, which is not lawful to eat but for the priests, and gave also to
them which were with him?
27 And he
said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath:
28 Therefore
the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.
And Jesus- who too was from the tribe of Judah-
Superseded the Old Covenant law-
He never broke it- but he ushered in a better covenant.
By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament.
But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how
much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises.
Hebrews
So David- on his bad day- actually glorified Jesus on his
good day.
And even in his failure- gave Jesus one of the greatest
stories he could use to show his superiority over the Levitical priests.
Yes- that Jesus and his men- just like David and his- did
indeed have the right to do what they did.
Because they were from a better tribe-
The one that our Lord ‘sprang from’.
For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of Juda; of which tribe Moses
spake nothing concerning priesthood.
Heb. 7:14
Amen.
[this is a chapter from one of my little books- talked about
wineskins]
CHAPTER 8
ARE CHURCH BUILDINGS EVIL? [OR
THE GUY WHO WANTED TO CAST DEMONS OUT OF ME!]
Many years ago
before I really understood the truths of ecclesia and the communal aspect of
the church, I was introduced to the belief that the ‘church building’ itself
was wrong. I don’t personally adhere to this belief, but let me share the
story. While ministering as a new believer in Christ and learning ‘the ropes’
of ministry, I remember driving past a brother who was a street minister from Mexico . It was
unusual in the way he was conducting his street meetings. He would get
permission to use an empty lot and then set up actual church pews in the lot
without walls or any type of cover over it [even if it rained!]. Well one day
on my daily rounds of visiting people and witnessing for Jesus [because this is
what ministers are supposed to do, right?] I stopped by this brother’s lot and
figured I would bless him with some lunch and listen to him preach [I felt
sorry for the brother because no one else was attending his meetings]. After he
spoke I had a chance to fellowship with him. After hearing his thoughts I
realized it was on purpose for him to have no walls or cover over the pews
[these were actual church pews that were out there in the open!].
He shared with me the verse in Hebrews [13:10 ] where it says that those who
worship at the sanctuary have no right to partake of the altar of Christ [the
cross]. He saw this as meaning that all Christians who meet in buildings [the
sanctuary] were lost! Well, even as a young believer in the lord I was smart
enough to know that this verse had nothing to do with ‘church buildings’. I
showed the brother that in context the verse simply meant that those Jews
[remember who the book of Hebrews was written to] who were not willing to leave
the old covenant system [the sanctuary] could not move on with the new covenant
truth of Christ and his cross. The sanctuary represented the whole concept of
law and Judaism. This verse had nothing to do about the inherent nature of
church buildings! Buildings themselves are neutral ground; it’s the style of
one person functioning [the pastor] at the expense of the rest of the body that
I see as less than ideal.
Well after seeing the obvious error of the way
this brother was reading this verse, I began to ‘expound unto him the way of
God more perfectly’. When he finally understood what I was saying [you could
tell by the look in his eyes that he saw the truth] instead of repenting of his
distorted view, he became irate and began to cast demons out of me [hey, I
didn’t think there were any in me!]. The reason I share this example is because
there are those in the house church movement, while not as extreme, seem to
view the church building itself as an evil thing.
My personal view is the church building can
become a hindrance when we view it as part of a system that makes up ‘church’.
We seem to see the whole concept of the church building and the pastor as the
weekly speaker and all the other things associated around this structure [like
tithing to the storehouse] as ‘the system’ that God instituted to carry out his
work in the earth. Remember Gods inherent authority resides in no human system
or mode of religious worship. His authority resides in the church, the actual
people of God in any given community on earth. So if there are believers
carrying out Gods purpose, whether they have the whole system that we deem
‘local church’ or not, is irrelevant. Remember what we said about Jesus and the
1st century religious mind? They were finding fault with Jesus and
his disciples because they were not following the religious protocol of the
day. When we embrace certain mindsets that see ‘local church’ as the limited
system of Sunday worship and all the other usual things associated with it,
what we’re unconsciously doing is vesting authority in a style, or form of
religious worship while by-passing the true legitimacy of Gods people. Its not
to say that Gods people who function in the whole system of Sunday church are
illegitimate [that would be making the same mistake as the brother who wanted
to cast the demons out of me!] but this shows us how we unconsciously make the
same mistake as the 1st century Pharisee by seeing as illegitimate
those who don’t follow certain protocols.
It was a common thing during the 90’s to speak
about the ‘changing of the wineskin’ in order to receive the new wine [the new
move of God]. Many of theses thoughts were helpful in causing us to re-think
the way we ‘do’ church. I also remember a common theme being ‘God wants to pour
out his Spirit, but the wineskins are not ready’ in some of these examples the
ministers actually meant that we don’t have big enough buildings to put all
these new converts so God is ‘withholding the new wine until the new buildings
go up’. At this point you should begin seeing how once again this is confusing
the reality of Christian community with ‘the church building’. I find it
interesting that the pouring out of the Spirit at Pentecost was not delayed
because of the lack of facilities to put all the new converts in.
Also the great missionary journeys of Paul
were not delayed ‘until the new wineskins were in place’. This shows us how
we’ve come to view the people of God as being dependent on the present system.
Could it be that God withholds His Spirit because the ‘new wineskin’ could
refer more to believers seeing themselves as the actual church that God wants
to fill? If we are not rightly discerning Christ’s community as a
self-sustaining society of people then the church really isn’t able to contain
the new wine. If we are so limited in our thinking to view the new wineskin as
larger facilities, as opposed to a rethinking of what it means to truly be
Christ’s body, then maybe the holdup has more to do with a change in the way we
view ‘church’ then it has to do with bigger church buildings!
CHAPTER 9
WHAT IN THE WORLD IS ‘THE LOCAL CHURCH ’?
Growing up as a catholic boy [though not a good one] I
remember when I came to know the lord I started reading through the bible and
found how the bible contradicted many of the religious beliefs I held to as a
boy [this is not to say Catholics are not Christian]. Later while attending a
good Baptist church I naively believed that good Baptists must have it right
because they do read the bible![parts]
Here’s the whole book- https://ccoutreach87.com/further-talks-on-church-and-ministry/
[parts]
There were Jews at the time of
the first century who tried to ‘get along’ with Rome- and with the person in
charge of their region [one of the sons of Herod the Great at the time of
Christ].
These are referred to as
Herodian’s in the bible.
Some wanted a revolution to rid
Rome from Jerusalem- these were the Zealots [one of Jesus disciples was in this
group].
Some thought if they returned to
a legalistic obeisance of the law- that this would bring in a deliverer- like
the stories we read about in the Old testament- these were the Pharisees.
And some took more of a political
compromise- these were the Sadducees.
Eventually a war with Rome would
be fought [By the way- Josephus- the famous 1st century historian- fought on
the side of the Jews in the war- and after Jerusalem was sacked in A.D. 70- he
went to Rome and wrote his great works- thinking he would make a case for the
Jewish people with the Romans. This is why we have his works today- which are
very valuable to scholars].
NOTE- In time I’ll try and cover
how we ‘got our bibles’ [called the Canon- meaning Rule/ Measurement].
Frankly- there is a lot of
confusion in the general public about conspiracies [like the Catholic Church
had some type of plot to keep certain books out].
Or stories about how the Church
taught Mary Magdalene was a prostitute so they could discredit her.
Actually- we read in the gospels
that Jesus cast out ‘spirits’ from a woman who was probably living this type of
life-
And Jesus had a ministry to the
down and out- it is indeed possible that Mary was one of these women-
And if true- it would not demean
her in any way-
That’s how this tradition more
than likely developed- But- we don’t know for sure.
So a few years back the Church
officially said ‘we don’t know’.
Ok- Plot?
[parts]
Ok- the ruling empire at the time
of Christ was Rome- just prior to the appearance of Jesus- the Roman Emperor-
Caesar Augustus- consolidated the Roman Empire under his rule-
Rome was ruled by a senate- some
famous names from history were in it- Cicero being one.
Caesar Augustus was the nephew of
Julius Caesar- his real name was Octavian [Octavius].
After the death of Julius Caesar-
there were some power struggles that took place- between some other famous
people.
Marc Antony being one of them
[Cleopatra too- he was in love with the girl for sure].
Now- we read about Augustus in
the New Testament- and we read in the book of Revelation about the Mark of the
Beast- and that those who don't worship- give homage to the Beast- they will be
killed.
So- Many Christians would be
killed because they would refuse to give homage to Caesar Augustus [meaning son
of the Divine].
‘Wow- how did he get a name like
that’ [there was more than one Caesar by the way- as well as more than one
Herod- who did play a part in these power struggles- it can get confusing- even
to me].
When Octavian defeated Marc
Antony at Actium [32 BC].
Herod [The Great] had a problem-
he had previously sided with Antony and found himself on the losing side.
Yet he was smart- did some ‘brown
nosing’ as we say-and patched things up.
Herod had 3 sons- who would
eventually take positions of authority in the Roman government at the time of
Christ.
Herod Antipas was over the region
that we read about in the New Testament where Jesus did most of his ministry-
Galilee.
Ok- Octavian claimed deity
because of a heavenly sign associated with his rise to power- and this is how
he became called ‘Caesar Augustus’.
He sort of saw himself as a ‘re-incarnate’- of his great uncle Julius
Caesar.
‘John- what in the heck does this
have to do with the Dead Sea Scrolls’.
Ok- good question.
The Jews had various responses to
the empires that ruled over them during various times.
Alexander the Great instituted
Hellenization- a sort of cultural compromise over the people he conquered.
They could keep their
religious/cultural roots- but would be subservient to Alexander and Greek rule.
Some Jewish people rejected any
compromise- we call them the Essenes- they moved out of town- so to speak, and
lived in what we refer to as the Qumran community.
This was a few centuries before
the time of Christ- and this was where the Dead Seas Scrolls were found in the
20th century.
A Bedouin boy was looking for his
goats- threw a rock in a cave right off the Dead Sea- and that’s how we found
the scrolls.
The scrolls might have been
hidden there by the Essenes-
Now- when my friends asked me
about them- I told them that it’s been a while since I read up on any of this-
but to the best of my memory the thing that made them significant was the fact
that they were very old manuscripts- from the bible- and they backed up what we
had had all along.
I did read up this week- and
basically had it right.
The earliest Hebrew manuscripts
of the Old Testament we had previously dated back to around 900- 1000 A.D.
These manuscripts went back about
1000 years earlier- and they contained portions from almost every book of the
Old testament- and some complete books.
The only book missing was Esther.
So- this was indeed a very
significant find for scholars.
But the Scrolls also contain some
of the writings from the Essenes themselves- things we never had before- so
this too was significant.
There were Jews at the time of
the first century who tried to ‘get along’ with Rome- and with the person in
charge of their region [one of the sons of Herod the Great at the time of
Christ].
These are referred to as
Herodian’s in the bible.

Rome from Jerusalem- these were the Zealots [one of Jesus disciples was in this

And some took more of a political
compromise- these were the Sadducees.

be fought [By the way- Josephus- the famous 1st century historian- fought on
the side of the Jews in the war- and after Jerusalem was sacked in A.D. 70- he
went to Rome and wrote his great works- thinking he would make a case for the
Jewish people with the Romans. This is why we have his works today- which are

her in any way-
That’s how this tradition more
than likely developed- But- we don’t know for sure.
So a few years back the Church
officially said ‘we don’t know’.
Ok- Plot?
No- just being careful.
So there are other misguided
beliefs like this- that sincere people have- and over time I hope to get to
them.
I’ll do one more in keeping with
this post.
I mentioned above that Caesar
Augustus did indeed take the title of ‘son of God’.
And some critics of the Church
say ‘see- there were all types of religions that had Sons of God’.
I watched one show a few years
back- and it stated that these religions had ’12 disciples- a leader named Lord
and Savior- and he healed and claimed to be God’s Son- and rose from the dead’.
Ok- that show was ‘fibbing’ to
put it lightly- they went too far [historically speaking] in trying to diminish
the Christians claim of Christ by doing this.
Now- is there some truth to this
at all?
Yes- like I just mentioned above-
Octavian did indeed claim deity- a ‘son of god’.
So- how do we explain this?
In the book of Galatians the
bible says ‘in the FULLNESS of times God sent forth his Son’.
Jesus came at a set time in
history- in fulfilment of the Jewish Prophets- to be who he was- and to do what
he did.
Now- this is not special pleading
here- but I find it a masterpiece that God’s Son came at a time when the Roman
Empire had one sitting on the throne- who too claimed deity.
Yet Jesus was in a region of the
lower class- his men were not highly educated- and his followers were people
under oppression.
Augustus lived in the wealthy and
influential capital of ‘the world’- he had all you could ever ask for- he was
worshiped as a god.
Yet in 3 short centuries- one of
the heirs of the empire- Constantine- would have an experience – not with a
former Caesar- but with a vison of a Cross-
He would convert to Christianity-
and declare Christianity to be the religion of the realm.

earth to forgive sins, (he saith to the sick of the palsy,)

loaves of bread in mine hand, or what there is present.
1Samuel 21:4 And the priest answered David, and said, There is no
common bread under mine hand, but there is hallowed bread; if the young men
have kept themselves at least from women.
1Samuel 21:5 And David answered the priest, and said unto him, Of
a truth women have been kept from us about these three days, since I came out,
and the vessels of the young men are holy, and the bread is in a manner common,
yea, though it were sanctified this day in the vessel.
1Samuel 21:6 So the priest gave him hallowed bread: for there was
no bread there but the shewbread, that was taken from before the LORD, to put
hot bread in the day when it was taken away.
1Samuel 21:7 Now a certain man of the servants of Saul was there
that day, detained before the LORD; and his name was Doeg, an Edomite, the
chiefest of the herdmen that belonged to Saul.
1Samuel 21:8 And David said unto Ahimelech, And is there not here
under thine hand spear or sword? for I have neither brought my sword nor my
weapons with me, because the king's business required haste.
1Samuel 21:9 And the priest said, The sword of Goliath the
Philistine, whom thou slewest in the valley of Elah, behold, it is here wrapped
in a cloth behind the ephod: if thou wilt take that, take it: for there is no
other save that here. And David said, There is none like that; give it me.
1Samuel 21:10 And David arose and fled that day for fear of Saul,
and went to Achish the king of Gath.
1Samuel 21:11 And the servants of Achish said unto him, Is not
this David the king of the land? did they not sing one to another of him in
dances, saying, Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands?
1Samuel 21:12 And David laid up these words in his heart, and was
sore afraid of Achish the king of Gath.
1Samuel 21:13 And he changed his behaviour before them, and
feigned himself mad in their hands, and scrabbled on the doors of the gate, and
let his spittle fall down upon his beard.
1Samuel 21:14 Then said Achish unto his servants, Lo, ye see the
man is mad: wherefore then have ye brought him to me?
1Samuel 21:15 Have I need of mad men, that ye have brought this
fellow to play the mad man in my presence? shall this fellow come into my
house?
13 Is any among
you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms.
14 Is any
sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray
over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:
15 And the
prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he
have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.
James
30 And many
other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not
written in this book:
31 But these
are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God;
and that believing ye might have life through his name.
John 20
26 And as
they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it
to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body.
27 And he
took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it;
28 For this
is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of
sins.
Matt.
