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.
Life in Exile: Perseverance in Suffering (1 Peter 4)
We continue our verse-by-verse study through 1 Peter. In this teaching, we go through chapter 4 and learn about the "benefits" of suffering.
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.
All is Vanity: Making Sense of Life Under the Sun
The preacher in Ecclesiastes declares, “All is vanity!” Indeed, our lives under the sun are fleeting, fragile, and unpredictable. How do we find meaning in life under the sun?
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.
Life in Exile: Hope Worth Defending (1 Peter 3:8-22)
As we continue our verse-by-verse study through 1 Peter, we learn about the value of apologetics and defending the hope within us. We also explore some possible ways to interpret Peter’s mention of Yeshua preaching to the “spirits in prison.”
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.
