The most common book new believers are encouraged to study is the Gospel of John. The problem with that is that new believers can quickly become confused and discouraged by taking the promises made in John and applying them to their lives. The book that best establishes believers in the faith is the book of Romans. Romans begins by laying out the…
To make all men see….. Ephesians 3:9
To make all men see….. Ephesians 3:9
Sermons by Tracy Plessinger (Page 2)
All things work together for good to them that love God FOR WHOM HE DID FOREKNOW . . . The reason all things work together for good to those in Christ is because God foreknew Jesus Christ. He predestinated, called, justified and glorified Jesus Christ. Therefore, anyone placed into Jesus Christ by their faith would also be given the same things Christ…
Finding comfort in establishment begins with Paul’s gospel. Knowing your eternal destiny and understanding that you have peace with God gives comfort. Next is the preaching of Jesus Christ according to the revelation of the mystery. This teaches us that we are in Christ and he in us. We learn to live our lives on that principle instead of the law or…
This message is a slight detour from the main subject to answer a question that came up. Colossians 1:20 says: And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven. How does God reconcile all things unto Himself if there…
For those seeking to understand God’s Word, this message is an indispensable building block. Mid-Acts dispensationalism is often derided as hyper-dispensationalism by those who reject it, but a sound understanding of the scriptures can only be obtained when they are truly rightly divided.

Another dichotomy is that we are made subject to vanity, but all things work together for good to those who love God and are called according to…
When hard times come into your life, it is usually not the time that you can learn doctrine and become established in the faith. It is important to become established during the normal times, so that you know how to deal with the hard times. Being established in the faith is a process that begins with the gospel. Knowing what the gospel…
Often when Christians speak of God’s will, they will say that the Holy Spirit moved them or God spoke to them. Almost always they will say that when God spoke to them it was not in an audible voice, but in a feeling or a circumstance. But this phenomenon isn’t found in scripture. When God speaks to someone, it is in an…
Suppose Eve asked Adam what he wanted for dinner. Adam couldn’t decide, but he wanted to stay within God’s will, so he went and asked God: “What should we eat for dinner?” God’s reply was: ‘Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it:…
Oftentimes folks wait until there is difficulty in their lives before they turn to God. This makes it almost impossible to have any real understanding of what God is doing and to be comforted by the scriptures. One must learn first to be established in the faith before life throws a curve ball. This study looks and how and where we turn…
