SERMONS & VIDEOS BY DAVID WILBER
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?
Life in Exile: Behaving Honorably Among the Gentiles (1 Peter 2:11-3:7)
We continue our verse-by-verse study through 1 Peter. Peter tells his readers to live honorably among the Gentiles. Then, he goes on to explain what that means, specifically in the relationship between believers and civic authorities, between servants and masters, and between wives and husbands.
Life in Exile: A Desire for God (1 Peter 2:1-10)
In this part of our series through 1 Peter, we learn what it looks like to have a desire for God. Peter also gives some instructions for how believers are to live and speaks about our identity in the Messiah.
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.
Life in Exile: Be Holy (1 Peter 1:13-25)
Peter exhorts believers to be holy in all our conduct (1 Peter 1:15). But this raises a question: what exactly does holiness look like?
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?
Studies in Psalms: The Way of the Righteous (Psalm 1)
Psalm 1 describes two paths or "ways" of living. There is the way of the righteous and the way of the wicked. One way leads to blessing, and the other to destruction. What does it mean to walk the way of the righteous?
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.
Honor Your Elders (Leviticus 19:32)
Scripture says to honor your elders in Leviticus 19:32 and shows us how to do so. How did the commandment apply in the ancient culture in which it was given? How does it apply today?
