The Reality of Spiritual Birth A Stumbling Block for Many With Brenda Gray

2026 March 29th Streaming

Introduction:

1 Corinthians 1: 22 – 24

22 Jews demand signs and Greeks search for wisdom, 23 but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles, 24 but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.

Preachers and teachers today want to “stand out, to be relevant” and be “in touch” with the people. They want to preach to “the temporary needs” of people instead of to their deepest need which is Spiritual identity.

Preaching to “temporary needs of the flesh” amounts to no more than preaching to the selfish and idolatrous cravings of the flesh.  2 Timothy 4: 3, 4, “For the time will come when men will not tolerate sound doctrine, but with itching ears they will gather around themselves teachers to suite their own desires. 4 So they will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.

The revelation of “Spiritual birth” in man-made religion is a stumbling block to those who prefer “the old-time religion”, and foolishness to those who believe “there are many roads that lead to God.”

In the religious silos, aka the “church of man-made religion” sin, judgment, grace and redemption are taught but only as a deterrent from the idea of experiencing hell, fire, and brimstone.

An exchange of identity sounds like foolishness to those who are perishing—those who are operating in Spiritual darkness, but for the person who understands Spiritual birth it is in this, the “power of God” that we live. 1 Corinthians 1 :18, 18 For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

As we continue our discussion in 1 Corinthians, I trust that revelation knowledge of the Father will come forth in His power and might.

 

Intro To 1 Corinthians Chap 1, 2, 6, 13, And 15 with David Kenebrew, Th.D.

2026 March 15th Streaming

This week in Sunday Fellowship we will discuss the introduction to the book of 1 Corinthians, one of Paul’s longest letters with 16 chapter and more than 435 verses.   We will not cover the whole epistle of First Corinthians at this time, but will go over the specific chapters of 1, 2, 6, 13, and 15.

Introduction Letter of First Corinthians

About the year AD 50, towards the end of his second missionary journey, Paul founded the church in Corinth before moving on to Ephesus, a city on the west coast of today’s Turkey, about 290 kilometers (180 mi) by sea from Corinth. From there he traveled to Caesarea and Antioch. Paul returned to Ephesus on his third missionary journey and spent approximately three years there. It was while staying in Ephesus that he received disconcerting news of the community in Corinth regarding jealousies, rivalry, and immoral behavior. It also appears that, based on a letter the Corinthians sent Paul, the congregation was requesting clarification on a number of matters, such as marriage and the consumption of meat previously offered to idols. Let’s talk about it…

 

The Mystery and Power of God’s Two IOU’s with David L. Kenebrew, Th.D.

2026 March 8th Streaming

2Pe 1:12-13 For this reason I will not be negligent to remind you always of these things, though you know and are established in the present truth. 13 I think it right, as long as I am in this body, to stir you up by way of reminder,

 

Today we will discuss a topic which might be unfamiliar to you.  For several years many of our fellowship teachers, including me, have taught on the Eternal Purpose, Intent, and Plan (PIP) of God the Father!  His PIP is the Spiritual foundation in the mystery of I.O.U.  When I.O.U. is mentioned, we automatically think of “debt.”

This debt is what someone owes someone else, unilateral, or sometimes the debt is bilateral.  A seldom use word for “debt” is found in the word compromise.  Compromise is an I.O.U. based on one or both parties agreeing to the compromise.  The foundation of compromise, or I.O.U., is a God idea that began before creation and has continued since the world began.  We will discuss God’s “Need” and the “debt” it produced before creation a little later. As a matter of fact God’s “Need” was the foundation of His Purpose, Intent, and Plan (PIP) for Sonship! Most never think of God having “Need” much less any form of “Debt!”  Does He?  So, let’s talk about it…

 

 

Jhn Chap 17- The Lord’s Prayer: Closing The Evening and Ministry with David Kenebrew, Th.D.

2026 February 15th Streaming

This week we conclude our teaching and messages on the Gospel of John Chapter 17. Once again for the past two weeks the Father has provided two wonderful revelations of Jesus’ upper room discourse. And I trust our Father has continued to give us ongoing revelation and insight to the amazing mystery of Spiritual oneness and identity of Fatherhood and Sonship! This is one of several prayers Jesus was heard praying. Although, for many years the prayer Jesus taught on the sermon of the mount is called by many today “The Lord’s Prayer” it was not a personal prayer prayed by him. As we enter John chapter 17, we can see his personal prayer to his Father. This prayer is “The Lord’s Prayer.” But out of all the prayers Jesus prayed this one contains the Father’s purpose, intent, and plan of the mystery before the foundation for Spiritual Union, Oneness, and Identity! This prayer brings to close his and the disciples last meal and the conclusion of their ministry together. The cross is coming for them all! So, let’s talk about it…

John Chap 16: You’ve Asked Nothing In My Name with David Kenebrew, Th.D.

2026 January 25th Streaming

This week we conclude our teaching and messages on the Gospel of John Chapter 16. For the past two weeks the Father has provided two wonderful revelations of Jesus’ upper room discourse. Brother Dwight and sister Brenda laid a great foundation on which to finish. The “Father” is still center stage in this portion of the discourse. Jesus mentions the “Father” at least 12 times in the chapter, compared to 9 times in chapter 15 and 20 times in chapter 14. In contrast to his use of “God” which is very limited. He uses “God” just 5 times in chapter 13, once in chapter 14, none in 15 and 3 times in this chapter.

Notice Jesus points their hearts and minds to the Father, who gives them identity as Sons. We also see a depth of the cross not seen before. What is the meaning of “asking in my name?” This is probably one of the most misunderstood phases in the Bible.

Let’s talk about it, and hear what the Spirit is saying!

John Chapter Fifteen with David Kenebrew, Th.D.

2026 January 4th Streaming

This week we conclude of our study and message on the Gospel of John Chapter 15. For the past two weeks the Father has provided us with two wonderful revelations of Jesus’ upper room discourse. Brother Dwight and sister Brenda have laid a great foundation for us to finish on. As will see the “Father” is still center stage in this portion of the discourse as well. Jesus mentions the “Father” at least ten times in the chapter, as oppose to the 20 times in chapter 14. We will also see a depth of the cross which has not been often before. Let’s talk about it…

John Chap Fourteen: Is Heaven Your Home? with David Kenebrew, Th.D.

2025 December 7th Streaming

This week we will continue our study and message on the Gospel of John Chapter 14. In the chapter Jesus reveals several Spiritual revelations concerning the Identity, works and responsibilities of the “Trinity: The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit.” He will unveiled a new insight to this place called the Father’s House. Although many have misunderstood or mischaracterized what Jesus called the “Father’s House” as “heaven” as the place being prepared. He revealed that the “the way,” “the truth,” and “the life” is a person, not a doctrine or belief! He revealed the power of oneness and the “Divine Nature.” And, Jesus discussed “The Father” more than any other chapter in this gospel! The Father has center stage in chapter 14. Jesus speaks of the Father up to 21 times in this chapter. There are much deeper Spiritual revelations in this chapter of the upper discourse course to be revealed.

In the last week the Father provided a clear and powerful teachings on this chapter. Our dear brother, Dwight Davis, discussed that Jesus’ disciples never grasped the Spiritual revelations Jesus shared with them because they had a big problem. What was the problem? Let’s talk about it…

John Chapter Thirteen with David Kenebrew, Th.D.

2025 November 23rd Streaming

This week we will conclude our study and messages on the Gospel of John Chapter 13.  In the last two weeks we have had the Father provide two powerful teachings on this chapter.  First was our dear brother Dwight Davis who revealed to us that the foundation for “true humility” is not an acting or doing what appears to be humble deeds.  “True Humility” is self-emptying (kenosis) of original flesh identity to the new Spiritual identity of the Son of God the Father.  He said having our minds renewed to our exchanged identity of Sonship is learning to live and walk in “true humility” Spiritually!  The next week, our dear sister Brenda Gray shared with us the revelation Father revealed for our glory of Sonship in this chapter. She said this “Jesus is speaking as though “the whole process” of His glorification (His death, resurrection, and exaltation) is already accomplished. This is because the irrevocable plan of God is now in motion even though in the natural it is just beginning (Judas has just gone out to betray Him). As we begin this chapter there are many moving parts and events revealed verse by verse.  Yet one of the most important things revealed in the chapter is this. Out of all those mentioned in the chapter it revolves around just two people!  These two individuals drive the narrative and message revealed in chapter 13! Let’s find out who they are…

 

Intro ” The Upper Room Discourse” John Chaps 13 To 17 with David Kenebrew, Th.D.

2025 November 2nd Streaming

This week we will begin our Introduction to the gospel of John chapters 13,14,15,16, and 17 which are identifying as the “Upper Room Discourse.”   Each week we will delve into each chapter of the discourse to see the depth of Jesus’ final discussion with his disciples.  Many believe and are taught that the “Upper Room Discourse” refers specifically to the “Lord’s Supper.”  These five chapters go much deeper than just the action of washing the feet of others or eating lamb with bread and drinking wine which religion has made into an “ordinance of the faith.” This is just one of the many practices and commands Jesus gave to his disciples. As with many things in man-made religion, they see the splinter and blind to the beam! The Spiritual depth Jesus is communicating in this discourse is far greater than just having a meal together.  Of course the last supper has its place in Jesus’ journey to the cross. But in this discourse, he delivers several Spiritual revelations and insights that carry a much greater weigh into the purpose, intent, and plan of God the Father.

What do we know about the timing and place concerning this particular supper and discourse that followed? This  meal was established by God while Israel was captivity in Egypt. It was the final act of God through Moses for the release of His people Israel before He brought them out of bondage.  It was the beginning of the Passover feast.  This was last meal Israel would eat in their captivity in Egypt!   Sadly, many are stuck with this one aspect of the discourse center around this last meal Jesus ate!  This discourse with the disciples would go for several hours and well into the evening!  It was the beginning of a very long night for Jesus!  Let’s talk about it…

1st Jhn Chap Five: The Power of Overcoming Is Absolute While Deliverance is Imputed! with David Kenebrew, Th.D.

2025 October 26th Streaming

This week we conclude our teaching in the epistle of First John with chapter five. In this epistle John has established several important factors for the Spiritually birthed Sons of God. Here are some of the spiritual insights John provided throughout the epistle of First John, repeating them again and again.

1. John presented the work and person of the God the Father

2. John declared that Jesus Christ is Son of God, (more than 10 times)

3. John reveals Light (Phos) as a person, God the Father

4. John confirms that all believers/Sons should love one another because of the Spirit they have

5. John reveals that Love is a person, and that person is God the Father (as He is so are they as Sons)

6. John defines Spiritual Identity comes the Spirit God the Father has given to each Son

Throughout this wonderful epistle John has set before them all that it means to be a Spiritual Son of the Father. And that their new identity is confirmed by love for one another. In chapter five he will bring this first epistle to a close. As we will see in chapter five today, he will restate some of the key factors and details from chapters one to four. Let’s talk about it…
