Years ago, when I first started speaking at our church (before we started our YouTube ministry), I did a series refuting the 95 Theses Against Dispensationalism. This had been put together by Calvinists, and I thought, “Oh, this will be fun! I’ll learn how to make solid Biblical arguments defending mid-Acts dispensationalism!” I had to... Continue Reading →
I have for years been telling Pastor Hal Bekemeyer he needs to write a book called "God Don't Make Junk!" That's a phenomenal title, which he is known for saying on occasion (along with "Words mean things!") Of course, a book with that title would be all about our glorious identification with Christ, who you... Continue Reading →
I have a new FREE digital booklet available called “The Agony of Victory!” I took the four Gospel accounts of the Lord’s final moments from His prayers in the Garden of Gethsemane all the way to His crucifixion and pieced everything together into a single narrative. I also highlighted the many times prophesy was fulfilled... Continue Reading →
I should start with a warning. We’ll be going through the Abomination of Desolation step-by-step, moment-by-moment. Essentially, what we’re talking about is mass genocide, and when we get to that section, I’m not going to pull any punches about the violence and the carnage. It's awful. You’ve been warned. Let’s consider the context. What happens... Continue Reading →
This is a collection of snippets from our Wednesday night sermons on the End of the World, and these a few of my favorite aspects about the Lord's millennial kingdom. Enjoy! -j The kingdom is literal, physical, and visible here on this Earth. In the Bible, Jerusalem means Jerusalem. Zion means Zion. And the Earth... Continue Reading →
So what does Paul teach us about how to handle a scandal in a church? Let’s say you have discovered that your beloved grace pastor has been doing something really, really stupid for a long time. How should you and your church handle a scandal? The Dangers of Secret Sins First, how about we address,... Continue Reading →
2Co 12:7 And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure. 2Co 12:8 For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from...

Do people go to Hell with their sins forgiven? Two quick comments: I would not break fellowship with saints who hold that view, even though I strongly disagree. I’ve also seen some extremely disgraceful behavior over this debate. In some cases, I think awful behavior merits being marked and avoided (Rom. 16:17), because they're offences... Continue Reading →
Greetings, saints! Did you hear that a church in Germany held a service with an A.I. giving a sermon, which the A.I. had also composed? 300 people showed up for this! They were lined up around the block an hour before it started! And what was their reaction? Meh. Cold. Soulless. Boring. Of course, it... Continue Reading →
Hello, saints! I’m just sharing my notes from Wednesday night’s message. (I gave it my best shot on this topic, and I’ll always be open to anyone’s thoughts.) First, let’s read Micah 4:1-4. Mic 4:1 But in the last days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of the house of the LORD shall... Continue Reading →
First, let’s read 1 Cor. 15:39-49 1Co 15:39 All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds. 1Co 15:40 There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the...

These are my notes from Wednesday night’s message, which are kinda lengthy. Just so you know. We’re going to continue looking at the Lord’s millennial reign and the fact that Israel will fulfill God’s destiny for them to become a kingdom of priests. Not only that, but they’re a kingdom of priests under Christ as... Continue Reading →
Is there a difference between covenants and testaments? Can they be used interchangeably? Is a new testament the same thing as a new covenant? What do those terms mean? First, let’s talk testaments. A testament is a written declaration. Webster would say that a testament is “A solemn authentic instrument in writing, by which a... Continue Reading →
2 Tim. 4:9 Do thy diligence to come shortly unto me: 4:10 For Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world, and is departed unto Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, Titus unto Dalmatia. Of course, Paul is in prison in Rome awaiting his execution. In this section in his final chapter of his final letter,... Continue Reading →
How were the OT saints saved? Were works necessary or was it by faith alone? Did they have eternal security? We’re totally going to answer all these questions beyond any reasonable doubt! STOP what you’re doing and READ the entire chapter of Romans 4. Seriously. Read Romans 4. I’m not kidding. Are you done? Don’t... Continue Reading →
Rom 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. What is true freedom? I suspect most people equate freedom with civil liberties. Freedom of speech. Freedom of assembly. Free exercise of religion. But, see, civil liberties is just a form... Continue Reading →
For all that we believe and write about here on Supply of Grace, and for all that we believe and say on our Grace Life Podcast, I know what all the haters out there would say. “No, brother Joel. All of the Bible is written to us. It’s all about us, and there is only... Continue Reading →
To all our beautiful MAD BAD saints, I thought I might share some articles we almost talked about this week on our podcast… …but didn’t. First, if you missed today’s podcast, you gotta check out this one on 3 Misunderstandings About Humility. I don’t know who Michael Kelley is, but I liked what he said.... Continue Reading →
Eph 1:2 Grace be to you, and peace, from God OUR Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. Notice how Paul wrote, “our Father.” God is not our Father just by virtue of being creator. Because of our rebellion, He’s given us up and given us over to reprobate thinking, allowing us in our free... Continue Reading →
Did you know that the phrase “Bride of Christ” does not exist in the Bible? So how did this question ever come about as to whether the church or Israel is the Bride of Christ? I’ve heard that “Bride of Christ” is a dogma of the Catholic Church. J.C. O’Hair said this concept had been... Continue Reading →
