That is so true trying to fit God into wherever we can find time instead of finding time to fit everything else and put God first I'm guilty thank you so much
Your welcome!
No thanks, i feel as though i was quized of all knowledge accumulated of my time and work that you may cash in? Tell me something new that I don't already know.
I think we all do that sometimes, great to keep focus!
I know many may not understand but this was so tearful for me because I don’t have anyone, a church or a community and the realization of it all just hit me. I’m grateful and thankful for this message and will endeavor to find (my tribe).
I’m so sorry you don’t have anyone right now. I pray you can find a group soon.
Praying for you and hoping you find a connection soon.
@@pjohn519 thank you so much, I do too. I don’t want to come off as a victim, my tears and heart break is because of the realization of my selfishness (I enjoy being alone), I didn’t realize how depraved it was once I heard the video. Appreciated
Remember you will always have God he will stick closer than a brother ! 🙏
@@purpleheart1836 not sure how you feel about talking with a stranger about God. But I'm willing to give it a shot.
Thank you Lord Jesus for Brandon, his sermons bring great clarity to scripture.
Lord, continue to bless him
Amen
Amen!
I will agree with you on that! Amen
@@vikikemp6194 Amen.🙏🔥❤
Good Word!!!! I'm an avid reader, student , lover of the word of God! It has changed my life!!!!
amen!
I know how it is to be so busy there is no time for study and you find yourself just throwing quick prayers without a quiet chance to listen for His voice in the matter.
I feel like that is why I have been forced to sit this last few years.
My study has been so good with so much help from you and other sources like Snope Life, Amir Tsarfati, Christine Darg, and One for Israel.
The Chosen created a hunger in me to learn about Shabbat and you have helped so much.
Grateful to all of you for opening up so much detail in scripture. Truly enhancing study, knowledge and growth for all of us.
Praying always for Israel and the body of Christ everywhere.
I was debating whether to join a women bible group. I'm a loner and just didn't want to give up my time and day. But after listing to your 4th point. I felt the Holy Spirit confirm my question. Step out . Thank you
I just love and appreciate the work that goes into your program. I learn so much.
That's wonderful! I truly hope you can find one that is a blessing and helps you to grow!
Hi Adelene, I felt the same as you and joined a small study group in lockdown because our vicar encouraged it and while I have found it challenging due to my social anxiety it is extremely encouraging and supportive for me. Hope you find a group that makes you feel welcomed, comfortable and closer to Jesus. God bless🙏🏻
The cultural context of scripture is so important. I found a book several years ago called “Misreading Scripture Through Western Eyes” that opened my eyes to my cultural blindness. Every culture leaves certain things unsaid because they are commonly understood, and scripture is no different. The problem is that when we come across something that scripture leaves unsaid, we automatically and unthinkingly insert our own cultural assumptions into the text. And we misread scripture when we do so.
That's a great book.
Dear Brandon, my biggest struggle is reading the Bible or even wanting to read it.
Your Channel and Passion has made me start to show interest, and want to at least dip my toe in.
Bless you 🙏❤️
Hi Ritchie Valens😉
Good for you to start reading the Bible! The struggle is real, and afflicts all of us sometime. Thought I would share a few things that helped me when starting out and to continue.
There's an old joke that asks "How do you eat an elephant?" Answer: "One bite at a time." It was good for me to look up or find certain things in the Bible and read them for myself. For example, the 10 Commandments. I used a concordance where you can look up any word or phrase in the Bible, and it tells you where that passage is. Some Bibles have a very small or condensed one in the back, you can get / lookup Young's, or Strong's analytic Concordance where you can even look up the word "the" and it lists EVERY TIME 😳 the word "the" appears in the Bible! Of course, nowadays you can Google things also. Then read the passage, note where it is ( what part-Old or New Testament, and which " book" of the Bible ( there are 66 of them), the chapter number and verse number. And there you have it-your first mini Bible study!👏👏👏 Sometimes I just want to know what verses there are about a topic- so I look up that English word ( let's say "ice") and read all the verses with the word "ice" in them. Sometimes there's just a few, sometimes MANY! But good to know that also. There are many, many, many translations of the Bible from the original languages into contemporary English. Some are good, some are downright heretical. I think any solid believers even YT channels can explain which is which. But for understanding, I went and got The Living Bible and would read it with the more complex translations. The Living Bible is a paraphrase of scripture, not a translation. A man back in the late 60s/early 70s took a King James Translation, and put it into modern, basic English to make it easier for his children to understand. Some people laugh at what comes out of it, but it really helped me.
Here's 2 more things-when I was in college, a speaker named Elmer Lappen, asked us to make a promise to read the Bible 5 minutes per day. Doesn't seen like much but that 5, becomes 35 min.per week, that becomes 140min/month, 1680/year, 840 HOURS over 30 years. What's nice, is if you read certain parts again and again, they become like old friends. Many years ago I heard a suggestion to read 5 Psalms a day. That gets you through the entire book of Psalms every month, so at the end of the year they have been read ,12 times. I don't want to turn this into a legalistic, numbers game, just an illustration that even dipping one's toe into the pool, provides very real contact with our God and His story and precepts.
Last thing- I have learned ALOT of the Bible from the hard knocks of life. When you are at the funeral of a beloved friend who also loved Christ, it's very comforting and strengthening to read the scriptures that assure He will not leave us in the grave. When there is an ethical dilemma, and to not do the right thing seems best, having that scripture " Do what is right" pop into your head because you have read it before and He makes it alive at the right moment, is when those verses become part of my very being.
Someone once asked the elderly Corrie ten Boom what the secret was to her vibrant faith ( read her book "The Hiding Place". In her middle aged years, she was sent to a concentration camp for doing the right thing in a very dark world during WWII.) She leaned across the table and answered with a twinkle in her eye-"Trouble!" For me, that also has sent me to the scriptures to learn what's said there about life, and about Him.
Thanks for your time!
@@ms7953 Thankyou for your response
I really appreciate it 🙏❤️
Context, context, context. Brandon, I just want to tell you thanks for pushing this idea in a public forum. It’s almost like discovering the gospels all over again. Our context in no way corresponds with the time of Jesus, and that’s even before considering all the translations. I still believe one can get everything they need from the simple act of reading the word alone, but I want all I can get. And sure, a little of that is my human nature to desire a full understanding of what is important to me, but Jesus is the single thing I’ve encountered in this life that I can truly trust and believe in. Everything else was chasing mirages…
#1. Absolutely necessary. And learning a little Hebrew and Greek changes everything.
I am glad that I have learned a lot more in my days in church than many have and also many who where in the same place didn’t seem to absorb as much as they should have for what
Ever reason. It has been not as DEEP as you are teaching but good for more than most of my life as Christian since 1968. I’m 71 now and there is always more to learn. Thanks for your teaching. It draws me for more knowledge.
I am so grateful God led me to your videos. I've been going to various Churches and Bible studies for years an yes, I've learned. But not like I'm learning now
Thank you so much for your insights an amazing facts. Love to you and your family. GOD BLESS
E-Sword is also brilliant here too... That is my go to
Without fail, you always say things that make me deeply uncomfortable but that I need to hear. 😂 Keep up the great work!
Haha. I’m glad it’s a good thing.
I like Blue Letter Bible and Bible Hub websites for Hebrew and Greek versions of the Bible. It would be nice to have a Tanakh and Septuagint interlinear OT so you can connect the Greek NT words to the OT Hebrew words. Even though the NT was written in Greek, the writers were of the Hebraic/OT mindset.
This was a WONDERFUL teaching my brother Brandon!! It's so true that when you are with others you get some beautiful revelations that you may not get alone! It was SO IMPORTANT to tell people (not to purchase books with basically an agenda geared to something else)!! We have to be so very careful that it doesn't bump the Word in any way or it's time to throw it out. But you did give great references that I personally know that are so helpful without misleading Scripture! Thank you so much for this video, giving truth (whether we like it not) that GOD HAS TO BE 1ST IN OUR LIVES! I often feel convinced when I don't do this as I should. After ALL He did for us, and Glory to God adopting us in HE absolutely deserves to be first!! God Bless you and yours brother one again 🙏 ❤️
This is so powerful and important. This video needs to go viral.
Looking forward to watching this one - as always! ❤️
I absolutely LOVE Lois Tverberg!!! I have ALL of her books! They changed my life too!
Love this. Keep posting.
Thank you Brandon for this message.There are definitely folks out there who would like to have a Connect Group to study and share this journey with
Number 1, I FULLY agree with you!
100%! Breaking the bread together!
I listen to something about the Bible every day sometimes for several hours a day. Sometimes I feel I can’t learn enough about the Bible because some preachers interpret the Bible differently. ❤️😊🙏
That was excellent 👍. Lots of truth in what you presented.
I’m going to get this book. Thank you. You are such a unique teacher among the hundreds of others. 🙏🏼
Really enjoy!waiting on next video God bless you
Holy Spirit discernment 😊 Hi Brandon! Thank you for all you do!
Thank you so much Brandon. You are a true disciple!
Thank you for your words!! I do love hearing the word of God and will try to read with someone. Blessed day!
Thanks for bringing awareness to BlueLetterBible and Logos. As you mentioned, it brought a new dimension of understanding when reading the Bible.
Thank you I really enjoy your videos and they always seem to be hitting on the things that I've been thinking about a lot lately like trying to understand scripture for instance. thank you again.
I thank God your videos “showed up” and that ai clicked on! Awesome, truthful teachings! For me, I think the biggest problem I have in staying focused is distractions! Am praying for help in dealing with this so I can spend more time devoted to prayer and studying scripture. I do love my Interlinear Bible!
Thank you Brandon, a lot to think about! I must look over the quality and quantity of my time with my God!😊
By far, the best message I've heard from you. I don't always agree with you, but on all four points, you were 1000% correct. Thank you.
Thank you for your knowledge you’ve shared!! Coincidentally I have accrossed this blue letter bible and thank you for confirming it cuz this the website I am using for our couple’s bible study and preaching! I love it and it assist me widened my views about the spoken word of God!!!! Glory to God!!!! 🙏🏻❤️☝️
Loved the "clear calendar" item!
Thanks Brandon this was so good, very interesting. I will definitely start checking this out. God bless you.
Yes, you right Rev. Brandon it makes all the difference when you read the Bible from its original context
Thank you Brandon. Your videos are so clear and has given me that wow moment. You make sense. I really appreciate God pointing me in your direction because for years I have been searching for clarity. God bless you.
Looking forward to 3:00 lesson, thank you Brandon Robbins!
Brandon thank you for your explanation. I totally agree with small group, and the interaction we have with other's insights. We have wonderful small group setting in our church. We connect very well, in church and outside.
Also at the same time, God has revealed many things to me through the Bible, as I use parallel bible too.
But I need to focus more on God in my daily walk, and set more time with Him. I continuesly communicate with Him throughout the day. This has made me rely on Him more and more. I'm so thankful that Jesus helps me in my job many times.
I will put every effort to make more time in the personal study time. Your videos help me a lot. Again thank you for this uplifting video.
In bed already after an difficult day. But tomorrow, i will dust off my interlinear bibles and gonna dive right in. This sounds exciting. Thank you
I pray that God gives you an easier day tomorrow.
What an eye opener ! Thank you Brandon. How AWESOME that the LORD used your words in this video to answer my PRAYER REQUEST 🙋👉🙏☝🙌💖MAY THE LORD BLESS YOU & YOUR Family for being used in this way & taking the Time that cannot be replaced yet technology is being used thru you posting these messages to increase our understanding to grow & apply & share in our lives to others. Truly you are occupying while waiting for HIS RETURN. Study to make thyself approved. Brandon you not only show your LOVE to your bro's & sister's & possibly to unbelievers who come across your video's but your obedience your CALLING is so fruitful !😍🙌💖
Thank you Brandon l Loved this video God is good and always listen
Thank you for putting out these videos
Some also say that it is necessary to pray before reading the bible. This opens us to receive the holy spirit to help guide us to take in understanding.
Informative as always!
Thanks very much, dear brother! That was really helpful!
May you all stay blessed! Kind greetings from Switzerland
Thank you Brandon your Bible study videos help me understand everything so much better thanks again praise the Lord!!!!
Me too. PTL!!!!!!
Thank you Brandon, so good!
Thank you for this sharing. I have gotten a lot from Matthew Henry's Commentary.
This was superb advice. Thank you!
Amen Great video. Learned a lot.
I watched this again and realized, you also came so close to another important element of this study - the “new testament” is the PERSONALIZATION of the relationship with Him (as Yeshua), while the “old testament” demonstrates YHVH’s relationship with His people as an assembly. This isn’t to minimize the importance of assembly, but explains how God deals with His people now. I love your videos Brandon, great job!
That is why I start every morning with devotions.
Thank you for pointing out that we should study together. I've never thought or heard of that but it makes sense. This can bring people together to grow in their communities encouraging others to do the same. This really speaks to me today. God bless you and your ministry. 🙏
have you ever found a group, of individuals, out of the formal setting willing to study......if so let me know.....
Thank you for this video.
Love your picture of you and the gang!!😁
Strongs Concordance
Thank you brother.
WoW!! So pleasantly shocked fot this teaching. Spirited and wondering. Thank you and God bless y'all, those involved and those watching 🙌✨💥 BTW so nice to see you meeting with Brandon and Vanessa (The Snipes) and Chris Durban, quite a good example of community.
Thanks! It's truly been a blessing to connect with them through RUclips.
Love Logos! (I have also found that The Chosen has helped with cultural context~ especially when you and Grafted do commentaries)
The Chosen...is not Biblical..I always thought it was a good idea...find videos exposing this series
Thank you. That was really useful.
Thanks for sharing
Love this video, brother Brandon! I know Abba is speaking through you to reach the masses for Yeshua and who He really was and IS and who is to come!! This not only impacts how to study the Bible, but also massively impacts how we ought to live! I see a glimpse of your heart and Yah’s heart through this. Blessings upon you and in your life, in the name, authority, and character of Yeshua the Messiah!
God is using you in amazing ways! You have given me so much more insight into the meanings beyond the words in the way my previous pastor did by having studied Greek and Hebrew etc. The very last point you approached was about studying His word with others. Wham! I have been reading the word and worshipping alone for way too long. Having gone through a series of trying to find a church home that was right for me and not being able to find one (discerning that the pastors became more man serving (the elders and deacons) than God serving). I became jaded against organized religion. God has put me on my sweet sister in Christ’s heart to urge me to come to the church that I loved many years ago before I moved away. I have since moved back. I didn’t seek out this church for several reasons. She wants me to see how much this place, new leadership, and congregation has changed since then. Your teaching in this session was the swat upside my head that I needed. Thank you and God Bless you for this. ❤
I just found this video yet it was the right time in my life. I thank you for such great info. God is so good and yet again He proves that His timing is perfect. May God bless you and the work you are doing to further His kingdom.
Again outstanding and what I have done and still do for over 40 years
Great lesson with some very helpful tips. You are absolutely correct about "time". I did not "have the time" to study the way I do now until I retired. Fortunately, it is never to late to start. Two other great resources I have found are Dr. David Stern's and his . Dr. Stern's work was not intended solely for Believers of Jewish descent . . . but equally (if not more so) for us Gentile Believers. Dr. Stern does what you do in your video's: He puts God's Words into the Hebrew context that they were written in. His Commentary of the New Testament is just what it sounds like. For me, the introduction to his Bible was as valuable as the articles and footnotes found throughout the rest of the Bible. Thank you, Brandon for taking the time to do these videos. Above and beyond your ministry and your family, your work, dedication and time in doing these videos are greatly appreciated. Berachot.
Thank you so much, Carl!
Love this
Thankyou for emphasizing 1 John 2.24-27. This gives hope to most believers who will not use a concordance, lexicon, or Greek or Hebrew translation in their language. The necessary understanding of most needed information is in the Scripture itself, with a good translation, of course.
Just got the book Sitting at the feet of the Rabbi - I agree it is a "must have"
I tried to reach out to you thru Lynn Haven UMC but I did get the e newsletter. Then 2 days later, here's this video! It's a long story, but I have no one to study with and worst, I was under the impression that God didn't want me to be part of a group, (again, long story). That He wanted a "personal" relationship. Now I see that differently. Thank you
Hey, Nicole. I’m so glad the video helped.
I’m sorry you couldn’t reach me. The best way to get in touch with me is brandon@brandonrobbinsministry.com
Wish you were on Rumble. Thanks for all you do
Thanks for these encouraging messages Remember the importance of prayer as well, seeking the guidance of the Holy Spirit as we study the Bible.
Lois Tverburg books are great for learning background so the Bible makes more sense.
Awesome lesson 🙏🏽✝️
I love the new banner on your channel, Brilliant!
Thanks! Now I’m no longer bobbing in a random body of open water! 😂🤦🏻
@@BrandonRobbinsMinistry Haha! I remember though did not have the same impression luckily
Thank you, ordering the Interlinear Bible tonight
Good afternoon from Louisiana
It is a Must to have a Bible Study! I would like to get that commentary.
You rock bro
Blue Letter Bible has been my go place for many many years. They have added tons of things to their content since they first began on the internet in 1996. Far far more than what Brandon indicated.
E-sword is an amazing tool, also. Such a blessing.
GOD Bless you bro! I am so glad I came across your channel And subscribe the minute you said put your their mindset on what you are reading it totally opened up many many doors thank you!😎💯👍
Thank Brandon.
THANKS AND BLESSINGS.
thank you
thank you
thank you
may the LORD be with you
I am using the Tyndale life application Bible and it has been extremely useful. It has historical information, interesting biographies, explanations on nearly every verse and then ways you can apply the learning to your life. I don't see anything wrong with using it. This life study Bible has changed my life.
❤ Logos. I purchased back in 2009 and just keep upgrading. They used to have a Bible college alumni discount. Not sure if that is still available, but it saved me 25% 👌🏼
Additional understanding yes yes!
Thanks for telling us this. We should admit this to God and ask for forgiveness everyday. Thanks, brother.
Similar to true financial wisdom I learned a long while ago -- Pay the Lord, Pay You, Pay everyone else. If you put the Lord first, everything else will work itself out.
Thank you.
the most amazing thing is we know the bible was written thousands of years ago.
yet it still relevant to all of our generations and times
I prefer the "Strong's Concordance" AP, but that's because I'm more used to it.
Hey my brother thanks for this video may the Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth Yoshua Masayah Yawe King of all Kings Lord of all Lords protect and bless you and you're family . Keep up the good work brother 🙏 💪 Strong Spirit
Thanks Be To GOD The FATHER
To GOD Be The Ultimate Honor Praise And Glory forever and ever AMEN 🙏🙏🙏🔥🔥🔥.
Thank you for such knowledge . Keep spreading the Good News AMEN
May GOD'S Peace stay upon you and you family AMEN 🙏🙏🙏🔥🔥🔥
Have you written a devotional? I would love to see it! And if not, you should. 👍👍 I learn so much from you, I enjoy what you share, and it impacts me, and has made a difference for me in how I relate to Jesus, and the Bible.
