SERMONS & VIDEOS BY DAVID WILBER
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.
Confirm Your Calling: Christ’s Glory and the Prophetic Word (2 Peter 1:16-21)
We continue our verse-by-verse study through 2 Peter. In this teaching, we cover 2 Peter 1:16:21 and discuss the themes of Christ’s glory as well as the prophetic word.
The Sabbath is NOT a "Demonic Doctrine": Addressing Pastor Greg Locke's Antinomian Errors
Pastor Greg Locke recently preached a sermon in which he stated that God's command to observe the Sabbath is a "demonic doctrine." This is my response.
Confirm Your Calling: Partakers of the Divine Nature (2 Peter 1:3-15)
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.
Is the Sabbath Commanded in the New Testament?
Some object to the relevance of the Sabbath commandment because they say that it is not repeated in the New Testament. But is that true, and does it actually matter?
Paul was not an antinomian!
Paul affirmed the Torah's enduring validity and expected his readers to abide by the Torah's commandments, which is not what we would expect if he were antinomian.
Give Thanks in All Circumstances
The Bible says that God's will is that we give thanks in all circumstances. But how do we cultivate such a life of gratitude, in both good times and bad?
A Response to Dan McClellan on Leviticus 18:22 and 20:13
Recently, Dr. Dan McClellan responded to my video on Leviticus 18:22 and 20:13. Dan thinks these passages are ambiguous and that the firm conclusion of most scholars who think these passages are clear is misinformed and simply based on identity politics. Here is my response to his response.
Mark 7:1-23 Revisited: A Response to R. L. Solberg regarding the validity of the Torah's food laws
Recently, R. L. Solberg made a video responding to my video on Mark 7:1-23, where I argue that Jesus did not invalidate the Torah's dietary laws. Here is my response to his response.
Yes, Leviticus 18:22 prohibits Homosexual Behavior: Answering Objections from Progressive Christians
Progressive Christians, such as Rev. Brandan Robertson and others, insist that Leviticus 18:22 has been broadly misunderstood and that it does NOT in fact prohibit homosexual behavior. I address their objections in this video.
Caesar’s Messiah Refuted
Here are some reasons why the "Caesar's Messiah" book/documentary, which claims that Rome fabricated Jesus, should not be taken seriously by anyone.
R. H. Charles mistranslated 1 Enoch 71:14
There is confusion concerning the identity of the "Son of Man" figure in 1 Enoch 71:14. The Ethiopic text identifies this figure as Enoch, but the R. H. Charles translation reads differently because he purposely mistranslated it—which he admits!
Did Jesus reject the Torah's dietary laws? (Mark 7:1-23)
Did Jesus reject the Torah’s dietary laws? Many say that he did, citing Mark 7:1-23 as proof. In this video, I will explain the problems with the traditional interpretation of this passage and offer an alternative view that presents a more consistent and accurate portrayal of Jesus’s teaching.
When Does the Sabbath Begin?
There is good biblical and historical evidence that the Sabbath begins on Friday at sundown and ends on Saturday at sundown.
