Msg# 1219 Come and See

What The Bible Says

Good Samaritan's Penny Pulpit by Pastor Ed Rice

Preacher Mike and Heather Gross, Missionaries to Sierra Leone, reminded us of a plea used often in the Bible, “Come and see.” When you are headed out to preach the Gospel in a country which is 78% Muslim you want to be well acquainted with the verse “O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.” (Ps39:8) Jesus came to John the Baptist who said “Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.” After Jesus' Baptism (by immersion) John identified him as the Christ; “Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost.” Surely this great truth is one that must be seen for oneself. John the Baptist said it “And I saw and bear record that this is the Son of God.” Then when John the Baptist appointed two of his disciples to follow the Christ he again said, “Behold the Lamb of God,” and when they approached the Christ he said to them “Come and see.” To those who are searching, the longing, those hungering and thirsting after righteousness repeat the refrain; “Behold the Lamb of God, … come and see!” When Nathanael said “Can there any good come out of Nazareth?” it was Philip who said, “Come and see!” When the Samaritan woman knew that Jesus was the Messiah she said to all, “Come and see!” Nowhere in the Bible is a soul won by lifestyle evangelism, it is done when a genuine believer and witness says with their mouth, “Behold the Lamb of God … Come and see.” Got a mouth? Be a witness. They need the invitation.

Msg# 1242 The Close of This Dispensation

What The Bible Says

Good Samaritan's Penny Pulpit by Pastor Ed Rice

When one understands the seven epic spans of human testing which God orchestrates for humankind, one can understand the word 'dispensation' in Ephesians 3, and the close of our current dispensation as well as the 2^nd Coming of Christ. Without a dispensational understanding one will never grasp the transition from the 'Dispensation of Grace' that Paul writes about to the 'Dispensation of Millennium' that Christ speaks about. Without it one cannot comprehend God's transition of dealing with his Church to dealing with his Chosen Nation. Without it one confuses God's dealings with the Church with God's dealings with Israel and their 144 thousand. With it we can visualize the seven stages of Church history and the importance of each Church message in the Revelation of Jesus Christ. With it one can understand the two trumpet calls, one to gather the saints to meet the Lord in the clouds of the air, and one that calls Israel to the promised land when his foot touches down on the Mount of Olives. Understanding that God will end the presence of His Ecclessia in this world, when he calls to them “Come up hither,” clarifies the removal of the restrainer, his Holy Spirit, that indwells them. The way is made clear for the White Horse, the Red, the Black and the Pale, which usher in a 7 year tribulation like this world has never seen. Indeed Mattthew24, Mark13, and Luke21, yeah the whole of the 'Olivet Discourse' now comes into a clear crisp focus, when, and only when, one comprehends the dispensations of God spoken of as the mystery in Ephesians. Most Christendom think they replaced Israel and Christ will never occupy Jerusalem. There is only a remnant of Bible believers who comprehend dispensationalism. They were called re-baptizers, today just Baptists.

Msg# 1239 Our Pentecost

What The Bible Says

Good Samaritan's Penny Pulpit by Pastor Ed Rice

The feast of weeks, 50 days after Passover and called Pentecost, should
certainly be of utmost interest to the believer. One Sabbath day after the
feast of unleavened bread ended with a holy convocation and day of rest, a
counting of seven Sabbaths measured out 49 days with the next day, a Sunday,
being the feast of weeks. This Jewish Holy Day perpetually fell on a Sunday,
the first day of the week, the day of the week that the Lord Jesus the
Christ arose from the tomb, a day to be revered by Christians and called
'the Lord's Day' wherein believers have a 'holy convocation' and have for
1,982 years now, Sunday. In Pentecost the Jew remembered his redemption from
bondage. It was the feast of weeks, had its placement in the first week of
the grain harvest, i.e. feast of first fruits. Where the feast of unleavened
bread placed an emphasis on being pilgrims and sojourners in this world, not
being here long enough for bread to rise, this feast, Pentecost, was a true
feast of plenty, a feast of festivity, a feast of harvest and a feast where
leaven was required to make their bread full and their celebration
completely satisfying. The Bible teachers who have made the presence of
leaven represent only sin and evil come up disturbingly short on this vivid
Pentecost illustration. Every believer knows that at this feast of weeks
called Pentecost, this feast of celebration and plenty in the Jewish
Calendar, the Lord Jesus Christ sent the 'other comforter', the Holy Spirit
of God, to indwell, instill and empower the believer and make his life a
feast of plenty, a feast of festivity, a feast of remembrance, a feast of
harvest where leaven makes the bread full and our celebration completely
satisfying.

Msg# 1240 Our Trumpet Sound

What The Bible Says

Good Samaritan's Penny Pulpit by Pastor Ed Rice

As the trumpet was used for gathering the hosts of Hebrews to their Holy Convocations so does it symbolize the greatest gathering of all the tribes of Israel to their Promised Land in the last day called the Day of the LORD. The Christian significance of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur still lie hidden from all Protestant Christendom. Concealed in the dark veil spread by their mother catholic conception whereby a Mother Church owns all the promises previously given to God's Chosen People, Israel. Calvin's Institutes further scatter and muddy Biblical truth by laying claim to such 'chosen status' and formulating the ill conceived Covenant Theology which reeks of catholic replacement theology. Be wise herein Bible believer. No imagined catholic system can erase the Feast of Trumpets which will call the 12 tribes of Israel to their salvation. No Calvin Covenant Theology will prevent the Promised Messiah from setting on the Throne of David in the Holy Hills of Zion for a 1,000 year millennial reign. No wild allegorical method of the Revelation of Jesus Christ can stop the gathering of all nations to the great Battle of Armageddon that it calls out. Catholics and Protestants try to obscure it in their dark veil but Bible believing Christians are looking for a very similar Trumpet Call that says “Come up hither!” and marks the rapture of the true Church in preparation for God's delivering of Israel from the Abomination of Desolation. Protestant theologians scoff, but the Bible says. “For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds!”

Msg# 1236 Happy GSBC Anniversary
What The Bible Says

Good Samaritan's Penny Pulpit by Pastor Ed Rice

The Roman Catholic Religion used its power over the Roman Emperor to cause
to perish any person who would own or read any portion of the Holy Bible in
the English language. When Wycliffe had translated the New Testament to
English 150 years earlier they found open preaching of the Gospel of Jesus
Christ completely overthrew their exclusive power over the government and
the masses. When Erasmus published the unaltered Greek New Testament there
was found no penance, no priest, no veneration of Mary, no canonizing nor
prayer to saints, and ONLY ONE offering that would forgive sin. That one
offering, which would not benefit Roman Catholic coffers one little bit, was
derogatorily called by Roman Pope Leo X “the fable of Christ!” William
Tyndale, fluent in 8 languages, who saw the power of the preaching of Jesus
Christ and Him crucified, sent to the printing press hundreds of copies of
the New Testament in English, even as the vile and wicked Roman Catholic
entity sent thousands of men, women, and children to their death for owning
or reading one. The Catholics, Anglicans and Reformers, lost the battle
against the printed Word when King James authorized and funded its wholesale
translation into the English language. Hold your King James Bible close to
your chest. These entities still want to destroy it and revise it away. Out
from the pits of these Romanized 'churches' and the tainted manuscripts of
Clement-Origin's Alexandria Egypt, regurgitate the RSV, NIV, ASV, NASV, ESV
et. al. Happy Anniversary Good Samaritan; 21 years of holding dear ONLY ONE
precious book, the one and only complete English translation of the
inspired, infallible, inerrant Holy Word of God , the King James Bible. Hold
it close and preach it on the streets while we still have that freedom.
