SERMONS & VIDEOS BY DAVID WILBER
The Book of Enoch is Not Scripture: A Friendly Response
I decided to answer someone on TikTok's questions about the Book of Enoch.
Thoughts on the Law of Christ: A Response to Pastor Kyle Bailey
I wanted to make this friendly response to Pastor Kyle Bailey's video on the Law of Christ. Is the Law of Christ entirely different from the Torah?
Our God and Savior, Jesus Christ (2 Peter 1:1)
Does Peter call Jesus “God” in 2 Peter 1:1? When we examine this verse from a grammatical standpoint, it is evident that he does.
How Sunday Replaced the Sabbath in Christianity
David Wilber explains when and how the Sabbath "changed" from the seventh day (Saturday) to the first day (Sunday), and where we as Christians go from here.
Why God exists and the Bible is true: Interview with Dr. Doug Potter
Dr. Doug Potter is a Christian apologist and Bible professor. We talk about why apologetics matters, how God's existence can be argued for philosophically, and why we can trust the New Testament as historically reliable.
Answering Jewish Objections to Jesus: Interview with Dr. Igal German
I have a discussion with biblical scholar and Messianic Jewish apologist, Dr. Igal German, about Jewish apologetics and answering objections from counter-missionaries.
Matters of Opinion (Romans 14)
In Romans 14, Paul admonishes his readers not to pass judgment on one another over days and foods. Based on this chapter of Scripture, many believe Paul teaches that it doesn't matter whether or not believers observe the commanded holy days and dietary laws in the Torah. But is that really what Romans 14 teaches?
The Sabbath: A Day of Healing
The gospels record several instances of Yeshua healing people on the Sabbath. Some Christian teachers have interpreted these Sabbath healings as evidence that Yeshua came to do away with the Sabbath. In reality, Yeshua's Sabbath healings demonstrate the proper way to keep the Sabbath.
Subjecting Ourselves to Governing Authorities (Romans 13:1-7)
Who are the authorities to which believers must subject themselves in Romans 13:1-7? David Wilber explores this topic from a different angle. Traditionally, Paul is said to have been referring to secular authorities, but could he have actually been referring to religious authorities?
Why Some Christians Keep the Sabbath
Christians around the world are keeping the Sabbath the way the Bible says to keep it. Why? How is the Sabbath meaningful to followers of Jesus?
What the Bible Says About Abortion
A recent study has found that 44% of self-identified Christians in America said they believe the Bible is “ambiguous in its teaching about abortion.” What this study actually reveals is that many self-identified Christians either don’t read the Scriptures or don’t know how to handle them rightly.
Lord of the Sabbath (Matthew 12:1-8; Mark 2:23-28; Luke 6:1-5)
Did the disciples of Messiah break the Sabbath when they plucked grains? Did Messiah indicate that the Sabbath no longer mattered? Could he do whatever he wanted on the Sabbath because he was lord of the Sabbath as declared in the Matthew 12:1-8, Mark 2:23-28, and Luke 6:1-5 accounts?
Testing King James Onlyism
Some people believe that the KJV is without error and the only English Bible version people should use. Some "KJV-Onlyists" go so far as to claim that other English Bible versions are deliberate attempts to deceive the masses and that Christians who prefer other versions might not even be saved. This teaching addresses these claims.
Monogamy: God's Creational Marriage Ideal
One fundamental theological principle revealed in the Genesis creation accounts is that marriage, as God intended it, is to be monogamous. In this video, we demonstrate how the Bible upholds this marital form as the ideal standard. Afterward, we address a polygamy advocate's objections to this biblical concept.
Does Leviticus 18:18 Prohibit Polygamy?
Numerous scholars have argued that Leviticus 18:18 prohibits not just sororal polygyny (a polygamous marriage between a man and two women who are sisters) but polygamy generally. In this video, we unpack the historical and textual evidence that supports this view. We also address a polygamy advocate's objections to this interpretation.
Lessons from Paul’s visit to Athens (Acts 17:16-34)
During his second missionary journey, as Paul is passing through the city of Athens, he is allowed the opportunity to speak to the philosophers and Greek intellectuals there. Luke’s account in Acts 17:16-34 of what happened in Athens gives us some insights into how we might be effective witnesses for Yeshua when we interact with those who have very different beliefs from our own.
Understanding Submission in Marriage (Ephesians 5)
“Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord” (Ephesians 5:22). If you just read that verse out loud, then you might hear a faint, high-pitched noise. That sound is every feminist worldwide shrieking about how Christianity oppresses women. But is this instruction in Ephesians really oppressive toward women?
Fleeing on the Sabbath (Matthew 24:20)
In Matthew 24:20, Yeshua’s admonished his followers in Jerusalem and Judea to pray that they wouldn’t have to flee in winter or on the Sabbath during the coming Roman war. Why did Yeshua tell his followers to pray that they wouldn’t have to flee on the Sabbath? What might be some implications of this instruction?
Jesus Saved Israel Out of Egypt (Jude 5)
Did Jesus exist before he was conceived in Mary’s womb? This video looks at a passage from Jude that may shed some light on that question.
A Shadow of Things to Come (Colossians 2:16-17)
Does Paul teach that God's laws about the Sabbath, festivals, and foods have become irrelevant to believers in the Messiah? Many have said yes, citing Colossians 2:16-17 as proof. Let's consider this passage.
