SERMONS & VIDEOS BY DAVID WILBER
Be Doers of the Word: Does James Affirm the Torah’s Validity?
In this teaching, I argue that James' command to "be doers of the word" is a direct command to obey Torah, including the aspects of Torah that many might label "ceremonial."

Speaking in Tongues Part 1: Human Languages or Ecstatic Utterances?
The subject of speaking in tongues is highly debated among believers today. What was Paul referring to in 1 Corinthians 14? Was it different than what happened in Acts 2? Is speaking in tongues referring to human languages? Ecstatic Utterances? Something else?
Dead to the Law? (Romans 7:1-6)
In this short video, we examine what Paul meant when he said that believers are “dead to the law.” Are interpreters like Andy Stanley correct in saying that the law has no say in the life of Christians?
Did Jesus Do Away With the Old Testament Law?
In this short video, we examine the popular claim that Jesus did away with the Old Testament Law. What did Jesus actually say about the Law’s ongoing relevance?
Why Apologetics Matters
Apologetics is about equipping believers with the knowledge, arguments, and evidence they need to be able to defend their faith. But apologetics isn’t just intellectual brain candy. It is also one of the ways we walk out our love for god and our neighbor.
Polygamy is a Sin: 3 Key Passages in the Torah Explained
Followers of the Messiah who adhere to the Bible's teachings on marriage and sexuality believe that marriage is a heterosexual, monogamous union. However, critics argue that the Old Testament does not condemn polygamy. Are they right? In this video, we examine three passages in the Torah that demonstrate the sinfulness of polygamy and address common objections from critics.
Making Sense of God’s Wrath
The Bible teaches us that we have a loving Creator. Yet we also see that God is vengeful and pours out his wrath upon those who deserve it. How do we reconcile God’s love with his wrath?
What Comes Out of Your Heart? (Mark 7:1-23)
In this live teaching on Mark 7:1-23, we delve into Yeshua's confrontation with the Pharisees regarding tradition, ritual purity, and what comes out of the heart. Additionally, we explore what Yeshua’s teaching in this passage might imply about the Torah’s dietary laws. Did Yeshua really abolish the distinction between clean and unclean food as many believe? Join us as we explore this and other issues in detail.
The Messiah's Preexistence and Divinity in Philippians 2:5-11
Does the Bible teach that Yeshua the Messiah is divine? Philippians 2:5-11 is a central text that speaks to this question. In this passage, Paul teaches that the Messiah existed as a divine figure prior to his human conception, bears the name YHWH, and is rightfully given the reverence and allegiance that belong to YHWH alone.

The Sabbath is NOT a "Demonic Doctrine": Addressing Pastor Greg Locke's Antinomian Errors

We continue our study through 2 Peter. What does it mean to be "partakers of the divine nature"?
Yahweh is not a "donkey god"
Joshua Karvelis of "Sons of God Ministries" claims that Yahweh is symbolized by the donkey and that, when the gospel writers depict Jesus riding a donkey, they meant to teach that Jesus has defeated Yahweh. This is my response.
The Law of Moses: All or Nothing? (James 2:10)
Some modern interpreters have insisted that James 2:10 implies that since nobody is perfect, trying to obey the Law today is pointless. But is that really what this verse says?
Does Ephesians 2:15 Say That Christ Abolished the Law of Moses?
In Ephesians 2:15, Paul wrote that Christ broke down the wall of division between Jew and Gentile “by abolishing the law of commandments expressed in ordinances.” But what does Paul mean by this phrase? Is Paul saying that Christ abolished the Law of Moses, or something else?
What is the Law of Christ? (Galatians 6:2; 1 Corinthians 9:21)
What is the Law of Christ that Paul talks about in Galatians and 1 Corinthians? Is it something new? Is it an expansion on something old? Is it limited only to what is in the New Testament? We look at these options and more as we work on defining what is the law of Christ.
Healed on the Sabbath
Some Christian teachers have interpreted Yeshua's Sabbath healings as evidence that He came to do away with the Sabbath. In reality, Yeshua's Sabbath healings demonstrate the proper way to keep the Sabbath.
