Transformed By Grace

This lesson explains that the unpardonable sin in Matthew 12 refers contextually to Israel’s religious leaders attributing Christ’s Spirit empowered miracles to Satan. Jesus warned that while speaking against Him could be forgiven, rejecting the Spirit’s testimony after Pentecost would not be pardoned. This sin was unique to Israel’s prophetic program and cannot be committed today because God has since introduced the dispensation of grace, when all sins are fully forgiven the moment a person trusts in Christ’s death and resurrection. https://bereanbiblesociety.org/tbg-episode/162-the-unpardonable-sin/ Episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/ejZ4M_xzw94 Buy episode on DVD: https://store.bereanbiblesociety.org/shop/dvd-transformed-by-grace-single-episode-1-dvd-151-200/?attribute_pa_episode=162-the-unpardonable-sin Buy series on DVD: https://store.bereanbiblesociety.org/shop/dvd-transformed-by-grace-series-rightly-dividing-the-word-2/

This message reveals that the Bible speaks of multiple “churches,” and not every use of the word refers to the Church of today. Israel was a “church in the wilderness,” and the Gospels describe a kingdom church preparing for Christ’s earthly reign, but the Apostle Paul reveals a new, previously hidden Church—the Body of Christ—formed by the revelation of the mystery. This present‑day Church began with Paul and operates under grace, receiving its doctrine, hope, and instructions from his epistles. Understanding these distinctions helps believers rightly divide Scripture and live out God’s will for today. https://bereanbiblesociety.org/tbg-episode/70-the-church-under-grace/ Episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/h2VR-bz00mY Buy episode on DVD: https://store.bereanbiblesociety.org/shop/dvd-transformed-by-grace-single-episode-1-dvd-051-100/?attribute_pa_episode=070-the-church-under-grace Buy series on DVD: https://store.bereanbiblesociety.org/shop/dvd-transformed-by-grace-series-rightly-dividing-the-word-2/

The Apostle Paul explains, in this lesson, that the question “What must I do to be saved?” has had different answers throughout Scripture because God’s requirements have changed across dispensations. In past ages under the law, salvation involved faith plus works, including sacrifices, circumcision, and water baptism. But after Israel’s fall, God revealed through Paul the gospel of grace, in which salvation today is by grace through faith alone, completely apart from works. The only response God requires now is to believe the gospel—that Christ died for our sins, was buried, and rose again. https://bereanbiblesociety.org/tbg-episode/45-what-must-i-do-to-be-saved/ Episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/JJODHwWPEJ4 Buy episode on DVD: https://store.bereanbiblesociety.org/shop/dvd-transformed-by-grace-single-episode-1-dvd-001-050/?attribute_pa_episode=045-what-must-i-do-to-be-saved Buy series on DVD: https://store.bereanbiblesociety.org/shop/dvd-transformed-by-grace-series-rightly-dividing-the-word/

During the Tribulation, there will be a group of people who will be “God’s Untouchables.” The 144,000—12,000 Jewish men from each of the twelve tribes of Israel—will believe in the true Christ and not be influenced by the satanic corruption of that day. This lesson shows they will faithfully bear the fearful persecution and threats of the Antichrist (“the Beast”), and, having been supernaturally protected by God’s seal on their foreheads, will endure to the end of the prophesied seven-year period. In stark contrast to the Beast’s followers, these blameless servants illustrate God’s faithfulness to Israel during Jacob’s trouble, and their example of total devotion, truth-speaking, and sacrificial service offers timeless principles for believers today to walk as children of light and hold forth the Word of life. https://bereanbiblesociety.org/tbg-episode/278-the-144000/ Episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/dh6lLA36Mgw Buy episode on DVD: https://store.bereanbiblesociety.org/shop/dvd-transformed-by-grace-single-episode-1-dvd-251-252/?attribute_pa_episode=278-the-144-thousand Buy series on DVD: https://store.bereanbiblesociety.org/shop/dvd-transformed-by-grace-series-main-characters-of-the-apocalypse/

Following the Rapture of the Church, at the beginning the Tribulation, God will supernaturally raise up two literal witnesses in Jerusalem to preach the saving message of the gospel of the kingdom—repentance and faith in Christ as Messiah— with many responding in faith. We see in this episode that, empowered by the Holy Spirit, these individuals will prophesy and perform miracles for 1,260 days. At the Tribulation’s midpoint, however, the Beast kills them and their bodies lie unburied in the streets of Jerusalem while the world rejoices. But then, after the Spirit of life resurrects them and they ascend to heaven in a cloud before their enemies’ eyes, God begins pouring out His judgment, reminding us to be grateful for this age of grace and to witness boldly in the power of the Spirit while we still can. https://bereanbiblesociety.org/tbg-episode/277-the-two-witnesses/ Episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/86XjhOsxCzU Buy episode on DVD: https://store.bereanbiblesociety.org/shop/dvd-transformed-by-grace-single-episode-1-dvd-251-252/?attribute_pa_episode=277-the-two-witnesses Buy series on DVD: https://store.bereanbiblesociety.org/shop/dvd-transformed-by-grace-series-main-characters-of-the-apocalypse/

There will be much deception in the future Tribulation, and the False Prophet will be at the center of it all. In this lesson, we learn that as the Antichrist’s religious right-hand man and the Holy Spirit’s counterfeit, the False Prophet appears lamb-like but speaks with satanic authority, performs lying wonders, commands the world to build and worship a living, speaking image of the resurrected Antichrist, and enforces the visible mark of the Beast so that no one can buy or sell without it—while true believers must endure by faith, trusting God for daily provision as taught in the Sermon on the Mount. There is also considerable deception today under grace, and we need to stay vigilant and focused on Christ and His Word to guard against Satan’s subtle doctrinal errors. https://bereanbiblesociety.org/tbg-episode/276-the-false-prophet/ Episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/sjqrrTolpa4 Buy episode on DVD: https://store.bereanbiblesociety.org/shop/dvd-transformed-by-grace-single-episode-1-dvd-251-252/?attribute_pa_episode=276-the-false-prophet Buy series on DVD: https://store.bereanbiblesociety.org/shop/dvd-transformed-by-grace-series-main-characters-of-the-apocalypse/

This episode explores the Antichrist. Called “the Beast” in Revelation 13, he is a human Jewish man who will rise to global power from among the Gentile nations immediately after the Rapture of the Church. He will initially appear peaceful, signing a seven-year covenant with Israel, but midway through the Tribulation he will be assassinated, resurrect from the dead (counterfeiting Christ’s resurrection), and then demand worldwide worship while blaspheming God, desecrating the temple, and brutally persecuting believers for the final 3½ years. Still, God will sovereignly limit the Beast’s reign, ultimately destroy him at Armageddon, and cast him into the lake of fire. This prophecy serves both as a warning for those left behind and as encouragement for today’s believers to focus on Christ’s return at the Rapture rather than speculating about the Antichrist’s identity. https://bereanbiblesociety.org/tbg-episode/275-the-anti-christ-the-beast/ Episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/SB2rhCohUi8 Buy episode on DVD: https://store.bereanbiblesociety.org/shop/dvd-transformed-by-grace-single-episode-1-dvd-251-252/?attribute_pa_episode=275-the-anti-christ-the-beast Buy series on DVD: https://store.bereanbiblesociety.org/shop/dvd-transformed-by-grace-series-main-characters-of-the-apocalypse/

This lesson shows how the “Son of Man” is the glorified Lord Jesus Christ, as John sees Him on Patmos in Revelation 1—as the eternal High Priest and coming Judge. His appearance reveals divine majesty and authority: head and hair white like wool, eyes like flaming fire, feet like burning brass, voice like many waters, seven stars in His right hand, a sharp two-edged sword (representing the Word of God) from His mouth, and a face shining like the sun. John falls as dead in awe, but Christ comforts him with the words “Fear not; I am the First and the Last…I am alive for evermore…and have the keys of hell and of death,” reminding every believer that the entire book of Revelation is first and foremost the Revelation of Jesus Christ—the victorious King who will judge the world and care for His own through the coming Tribulation. https://bereanbiblesociety.org/tbg-episode/274-the-son-of-man/ Episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/z8z1fajJsFk Buy episode on DVD: https://store.bereanbiblesociety.org/shop/dvd-transformed-by-grace-single-episode-1-dvd-251-252/?attribute_pa_episode=274-the-son-of-man Buy series on DVD: https://store.bereanbiblesociety.org/shop/dvd-transformed-by-grace-series-main-characters-of-the-apocalypse/

The series on the Apostle Paul’s storm tossed voyage in Acts 27 concludes with a portrayal of the Church living in the turbulent “present evil age.” As the ship’s crew lost hope, Paul stood up with God given assurance, and his faith, gratitude, and leadership brought courage to all on board, demonstrating how Paul’s teachings nourish, steady, and strengthen believers in this dispensation of grace. In the end, every person reached land safely, symbolizing that all who “sail with Paul” in the gospel of grace will be preserved and brought safely into God’s heavenly kingdom. https://bereanbiblesociety.org/tbg-episode/161-spiritual-shipwreck/ Episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/1Q9_1hqAB_E Buy episode on DVD: https://store.bereanbiblesociety.org/shop/dvd-transformed-by-grace-single-episode-1-dvd-151-200/?attribute_pa_episode=161-a-stormy-voyage-part-3-spiritual-shipwreck Buy series on DVD: https://store.bereanbiblesociety.org/shop/dvd-transformed-by-grace-series-a-stormy-voyage/

Our study of the Apostle Paul’s windswept journey continues here. The narrative illustrates how demonic forces oppose the progress of God’s truth today, especially when believers reject Paul’s counsel in favor of human wisdom or the majority opinion. The crew’s decision to ignore Paul led them into danger, symbolizing how the Church has departed from Paul’s teachings, embraced unsound doctrine, and is drifting into spiritual shipwreck. The passage urges believers to hold fast to Paul’s message of grace, resist deception, and remain anchored in the truth God revealed for this present age. https://bereanbiblesociety.org/tbg-episode/160-spiritual-consequences/ Episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/dfDFF2asY2Q Buy episode on DVD: https://store.bereanbiblesociety.org/shop/dvd-transformed-by-grace-single-episode-1-dvd-151-200/?attribute_pa_episode=160-a-stormy-voyage-part-2-spiritual-consequences Buy series on DVD: https://store.bereanbiblesociety.org/shop/dvd-transformed-by-grace-series-a-stormy-voyage/
