The Epic Life - Bob Hallman

Introduction to Ephesians

We are going to talk about the church and talk about God's love for the church and his plan for the church, and the blessings he's poured out on the church, and is his intention for the church and how the church is to function and how were to love each other and how were to conduct ourselves and how were to live as husbands and wives and sons and daughters, and how were to get along even with our bosses and places of employment, and how were to do spiritual warfare and carry out this great work that God has called us to do. So, we're going to go on an adventure together in the book of Ephesians.

The Great Omission Matt 28:16-20

Enjoy this audio replay of a sermon message by Pastor Bob Hallman 
It's kind of the elephant in the room of evangelical Christianity. We KNOW that this is the calling of the church, we know that making disciples includes everything from pre-evangelism all the way through helping someone come to know Christ through the Gospel presentation, through helping them learn basic things, like how to have a quiet time, how to know what the Bible teaches, and how to even know Matthew 28. For some people, they need simple basic instruction on what things of the Bible mean.

The Great Commission (Matt 28;18-20)

What God is presenting in this text of scripture is "The Epic Life" - it's about being a part of the great work of God. We tend to fall back into a good, moral, ethical life and fall back into the things of the world.
Nothing brings value but the great commission God has called us to. There is nothing wrong with what we have in the world, but in and of themselves, these things do not bring us satisfaction.
We want to be about loving God with all our heart, mind, soul and strength, and we want to be about loving other people, unbeliever and believer alike, in the same way that God loves us. The third thing is that we want to be a part of the Great Commission, this great calling: and this great calling is what adds texture to our life: adds significance and gives us an understanding of what's really meaningful.

The Reliability of the Bible: Part II

The mountain of evidence that God is presented to us in the form of the manuscripts is astonishing it's remarkable there's no other piece of literature on the planet like theBible and is well attested to as the Bible. 
We also talked about archaeology and being a rather new science in the nineteenth and twentieth century, they're discovering person after person, event after event, city after city King after King, dictator after dictator, whatever's out there in the Bible, they're discovering that the Bible was way ahead of its time because archaeology seems to have one of itsprimary purposes for existence as the establishment of the reliability of the Holy Scriptures.
So, we talked about that last week as well, and today, we're going to wrap up by talking about prophecy and science and how these two areas of ministry, and two areas of both science and also just prophetic fulfillment, become another foundation upon which youcan base your faith and know that this book that you have in your hand is much more than just words on a page, but you have in your hand the divine revelation of a holy God who wants you to know him who wants you to have relationship with him who wants you to be a part of his great plan.  Enjoy the rest of the message. Blessings, The Epic Life 3-2600 Kaumualii HWY STE 1300 #513 Lihue, HI 96766 https://www.theepiclife.org https://www.facebook.com/livetheepiclife https://www.instagram.com/Living_The_Epic_Life https://www.theepiclife.podbean.com

The Reliability of the Bible Part I

Today, we're going to be talking about aspects of the Bible that give us a real sense of confidence that the document you have in your hand is reliable. 
As Christians, we believe that the Bible is inspired by God, that it's infallible, that there's no error in it and because we believe that and the contents of the Bible, it dictates and directs and instructs us and how we are to live our lives. 
So, we have the truth coming from God and then we apply that truth to our life, but it's very difficult if you don't have confidence in the document to actually apply this book to your life. For those of you that are younger believers, and  there are a number of you here that have just come to Christ this year or in the last year or two, it's really important that you have confidence in this book.

The Origin of the Bible

My purpose is to equip you first of all to be strengthened in your own confidence in the Bible, but secondarily to equip you to be able toshare that confidence with other people who have questions about the Bible. Now, we need to begin with a definition of inspiration. Biblical inspiration is defined as God's superintending of the human authors so that using their own individual personalities and even their own writing styles they composed and recorded without error his revelation to man in the words of the original autographs so that what they wrote was precisely what God wanted them to write. 
The Bible claims to be divinely inspired by God. It claims to be authored by God. There is no other book on the planet that makes these claims the Bible tells us.  In this text this morning that it's God breathed that means inspired that's another translation for the Greek word which means to be inspired but the actual Greek word is God breathed.  It came out of the heart of God out of the mouth of God and was transferred and transmitted to men who became the authors of these various books that we've got now.

Bible Series: Intro to the Bible

Well, this book that we hold in our hand has been called the book of books, the greatest book ever written, and it's been called the book of books because it's surpassing any other book that we have in human literature. It's also called the book of books because it's made up of sixty-six books in one singular book.  It's not the account of human efforts to find God but rather the account of God his effort to reveal himself to humanity. It's God's own record of his dealing with his people in the unfolding revelation of himself to the human race. The Bible has revealed the will of God the creator of all humanity and it's given to his creatures by the Creator for instruction and guidance along the path of life and while we need instruction, when I think about Psalm 19 and the things that it says here, the wisdom, the insight, the encouragement, the strength that the Bible gives, those are things we definitely need and that's what the Bible offers. The central focus of the story that God presents is a story of redemption of mankind through the sacrifice of his one and only Son to those who would believe on him and accept him as their Savior and Lord. So, it was written that people might believe understand know love and follow Jesus Christ and our acceptance or rejection of this message is the determining factor for either our eternal salvation or our eternal ruin, heaven or hell.

15-Conversion of Saul (Acts 9:1-19)

REPOST: was missing the audioThis passage recounts the conversion of Saul:
He was a devout Jew from the tribe of Benjamin
He was a Roman citizen born in Tarsus of Cilicia
He was a tent maker by trade
He was taught by Gamaliel, one of the most respected and brilliant men of Paul’s day
He was a Pharisee and a member of the Sanhedrin
He was a relentless enemy of Jesus Christ and of the newly birthed church.
Pastor Bob Hallman gave this message in 2006.

Genesis 41: Rags to Riches

Many people go through life waiting for the“one big break” that will turn their life around and bring them success, riches, fame, and power:1. Insider scoop on a once-in-a-lifetime stock tip2. A call from Nashville, Hollywood or the NBA3. A multi-million-dollar lotto ticket. Because of this we might be tempted to think of Genesis 41 as a record of Joseph’s much-deserved “lucky break.”
But we would be wrong on three counts:~ 1. There is no such thing as luck in the kingdom of God.~ 2. It took Joseph 13 years of obscure service to become an overnight success.~ 3. God alone determines who will be exalted and who will be humbled in this life.
