Preparing yourself for the study of God’s Word
Before we begin, if you are a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ (that is— you have trusted in Him for eternal life), it is important to prepare yourself to take-in God’s Word or participating in a Communion Service, so take a moment to name, cite or acknowledge your sins privately directly to God the Father. This will assure that you are in fellowship with God the Father and the Holy Spirit’s convicting ministry, also called the convincing ministry will then be able to teach you as the Holy Spirit is the real teacher and the pastor’s message is the vehicle the Holy Spirit uses to convince you what you are learning is true or not.
1 John 1:9, says—“If we confess [simply name, cite or acknowledge to God the Father] our sins [known sins], He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins [known sins] and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness [all unknown and forgotten sins];” NKJV (New King James Version); we call this REBOUND, read the full doctrine as to “why” we need to use 1 John 1:9 to grow spiritually. REBOUND
If you have never personally believed in the Lord Jesus Christ as your Savior (that is, believed in Him for eternal life), the issue for you is not to name your sins to God; the issue for you is to believe by faith alone in Jesus Christ alone for eternal life and you will be saved the very second you believe in Him:
John 6:47 says: “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me [Jesus Christ] has everlasting life.” NKJV
Notice again what John 6:47 says, “he who believes in Me [Jesus Christ] has everlasting life.” It doesn’t say, “will have”; it says, “has.” Therefore, the very moment you believe Jesus Christ’s promise of everlasting life, you have it (it’s really just that simple), and it can never be lost or taken away from you (John 10:28-29). Furthermore, the gift of everlasting life (also called eternal life in scripture) is available to every human being; there are absolutely no exceptions.
John 3:14-18 says: “And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.” NKJV
Let us now bow our hearts and take a moment to prepare for learning God’s Word, if there is any known sin in your life, this is the time to just cite it privately to God the Father with your thoughts directed towards Him. With your head bowed and your eyes closed, you have total privacy in your mind and soul:
Our Pastor-Teacher is:
This ministry is non-denominational and is dedicated to
teaching the Word of God from the original languages and
making it available at no charge throughout the world.

Sermon
NOTES
Unlike the bible study, these notes are not just for reading without watching the video. These notes are more designed to follow along during the sermon and to bring up the “hover pop-up scripture references” (some websites may require to left click the link, if that doesn’t work then look them up in your Bible) when the Pastor asks everyone to turn to that passage in their bibles.
Sermon: The scourge of the tongue refers to gossip, maligning, bearing false witness and slander.
“The True Vine” = the uniqueness of our Lord Jesus Christ and the life that He gives us as branches from the vine, a life that comes from the sap and the water that the branches need to survive.
Branch = klema – refers to the believer in the Church-age and it is used for a tender and flexible branch; which is broken off the vine to be replanted.
John 15 – the organic relationship between the vine and the branches used metaphorically to show the inner living relationship which our TLJC as He established the protocol between Himself and the disciples.
John 12:24, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains by itself alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit.”
In order to fulfil their purpose of bearing fruit, branches must abide in the vine which nourishes them with sap.
They should abide in fellowship with our Lord who gives them their vitality and energy which comes from the sap (A type of the ministry of God the Holy Spirit).
When the harvest is past, branches must either be pruned by the vinedresser or taken away.
The disciples have shown the vitality of their fellowship with the Lord and they must also be subjected to the serious discipline that our Lord uses to control the human race from self-destruction.
We have a new and distinctive application of the organic connection between the vine and the branches as a picture of the closest possible union.
The branch refers to the relationship we can have with our Lord as well as the intimacy that exists with Him in the spiritual realm.
1. As a branch draws sap or water to survive in the natural realm, as believers we are also encouraged to have a relationship with the Vine.
2. We were given eternal life as well as the opportunity and privilege of being blessed and glorifying the Lord no matter what our circumstances may or may not be.
3. The Lord gave to us at the moment of our salvation including a brand new nature which qualifies us for the relationship with our Lord because we are in union with Him, Col 1:9-14.
4. One of the main principles of doctrine that the apostle Paul will teach all believers which we call “The mystery doctrine of the Church-age.”
5. The doctrine of Positional Truth was introduced to the disciples beginning with John15:4 which states John 15:4 “Abide in Me, and I in you.”
Abide in me = refers to Positional Truth as illustrated by the apostle Paul in Col 3:1-3.
6. We celebrate the victories our Lord has taught to those who have accomplished and fulfilled the PPOG along with their discovery of your personal sense of destiny.
John the Baptist revealed the sacredness of the things above. As our Lord gives us concerning those individuals who recognize the deep things of our Lord and the deep wickedness of the sin of independence.
Rom 8:26, And in the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words;
This is the one who has heard the doctrine and has acted accordingly, just like a man who built a house upon the rock or the ground with a strong foundation.
John 12:24, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains by itself alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit.”
A strong foundation belongs to believers who have heard the doctrine and has acted accordingly, just like a man who built a house upon the rock or the ground with a strong foundation.
Not only do we build our house with a strong foundation, but we also build up our life with the secrets that belong to our Lord.
Deut 29:29, “The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our sons forever, that we may observe all the words of this Law.”
Heb 11:6, And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him.
Gen 15:1, After these things the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision, saying, “Do not fear, Abram, I am a shield to you; Your reward shall be very great.”
1. The word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision,
2. Abraham was told by the Lord to not be afraid.
3. The Lord also said to Abram, saying, Do not fear.
4. The Lord also said to Abram, I am a shield to you;
5. Your reward shall be very great.
James 2:23, and the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness,” and he was called The friend of God.
Our Lord also protects His people when they need it by hiding them at certain times without them even knowing they are under the protection of Jehovah Jireh.
Psa 31:20, Thou dost hide them in the secret place of Thy presence from the conspiracies of man; Thou dost keep them secretly in a shelter from the strife of tongues.
Job 5:21, “You will be hidden from the scourge of the tongue, neither will you be afraid of violence when it comes.”
The scourge of the tongue refers to gossip, maligning, lies, false witness, sowing discord, slander, etc.
The Gossip Snake.
I have no respect for justice.
I maim without killing.
I break hearts and ruin lives.
I am cruel and malicious and gather strength with age.
The more I am quoted, the more I am believed.
I flourish at every level of society.
My victims are helpless.
They cannot protect themselves against me because I have no name and no face.
To track me down is impossible.
The harder you try, the more elusive I become.
I’m nobody’s friend.
Once I tarnish a reputation, it is never the same.
I topple governments and ruin marriages.
I ruin careers and cause sleepless nights, heartaches, and indigestion.
I spawn suspicion and generate grief.
I make innocent people cry in their pillows.
Even my name hisses.
I am called gossip – social gossip, family gossip, gossip among friends or gossip among those who we thought were our friends, gossip on the job, and gossip among neighbors.
One of the most critical type of Gossip that judges, condemns, produces guilt, slanders, lies, and verbal deception; = known to us as Church Gossip.
Psa 119:127, Therefore I love Thy commandments Above gold, yes, above fine gold.
James 1:17, Every good thing bestowed and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation, or shifting shadow.
