Unlocking the New Testament Part 1 - Matthew 1
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 лют 2025
- David begins by speaking about how God meant us to read the Bible. He says that somebody has damaged our Bibles by adding chapter and verse numbers and we have become ‘text people’. The gospels are not strictly biographies as more than one-third of the text describes the death of Jesus. David says that they are more like extended news bulletins. The writers had witnessed events and they reported on them. Why are there 4 gospels? David compares them. He looks at this book from two angles: who was Matthew hoping to reach and what was his intention. Matthew presents Jesus as the king of the Jews, particularly recording what Jesus said. Jesus was popular in the north of Israel but unpopular in the south where he was eventually killed. Matthew uses Mark as his framework but adds much more, beginning with the conception and birth of Jesus. He has 5 sermons included, collected under 5 themes, interspersed with Jesus’ deeds which illustrated his sermons. Matthew aimed toward Jewish readers, referring often to how Jesus’ life fulfilled Old Testament scriptures, but it is for gentiles as well. David believes this gospel brings Jew and Christian together.
David also has a book on this series find out more here: www.davidpawso...

Jan 2025 and I’m listening to the all time greatest teacher. I’m so blessed. Doing the yearly Jentzen Franklin fast and we’re reading the whole new testament in 21 days, if you read 9 chapters a day for 21 days that is all the new testament. So I love to go back and listen to the teaching of each book I read! Blessings around the world! God is getting ready to do something BIG IN THE YEAR 2025 his mercy is so awesome
Amen 🙏🏻
Since I came across this great Bible Teacher, I hardly spend a day without listening to his teachings.
Thank God for UA-cam for holding forth several of his teachings
Where has this bible teacher been hiding. Concise Godly uncompromising. So refreshing in today’s politically correct society.
Thanks for posting. Bless you David.

I felt I just discovered a great treasure ... His wise way of teaching, his humor, his wisdom...I wish I knew him a long time ago, I wish he had done the videos a long time ago and many more videos than these... I do not understand why people can give "dislike" to this wise, intelligent, knowledgeable, and funny gentleman...
I agree he is a dear man and he is an excellent Bible teacher I've learned much from this man wishing he was still here but he's in a much better place he's in glory with the Lord someday we'll get to meet him in person❤
I think that most people are looking for free healing, fish and bread.
They are not interested in become Yeshua's disciples with a main goal - to become teachers as soon and as good as possible.
They want to be "go for it, you'll get it" listeners...
He has done MANY more videos and has been doing them for a LONG time!!! Good luck!!
I've just heard of David Pawson and feel as if I've hit the jackpot. Bless you Pastor. Your wise soul and soft voice is a treasure.
I know...same here. I'm so happy to have found David Pawson and his ministry.
I know how you feel. I can’t believe I’ve come across this treasure 🌻
I feel the same way!! Jackpot!!
I'm starting with the new testament and I've been so blessed and edified watching his teachings so far❤️ Shalom
Would you like another jackpot? Derek Prince. God bless.
A rare and unique Bible teacher of our time ! So clear ,so deep and so captivating ! I have listened to him while he was still around ! He has given his best and now with his LORD and SAVIOUR ! What a blessing he has been to all of us ! ❤
I stumbled across David Pawson on UA-cam searching for bible answers and he is now one of my favorite Teachers!!!!
I too feel lucky to have found Mr. Pawson! Though I'm ashamed to say I've once again waited to do my studying at the eleventh hour as an 8 year battle with terminal cancer has drawn the day of my departure closer. Thank you for the lessons, David
@Jerry Collins Even so, and no matter what else you state, if you ever have a change of heart, Jesus will not hesitate to welcome you to His kingdom with love. Hurray !
hahaha
@@simeric2 God bless you.

Starting my journey through the bible and faith with this video
Jerry Collins This is for you: Isaiah 29:9-14
Pause and wonder!
Blind yourselves and be blind!
They are drunk, but not with wine;
They stagger, but not with intoxicating drink.
For the Lord has poured out on you
The spirit of deep sleep,
And has closed your eyes, namely, the prophets;
And He has covered your heads, namely, the seers.
The whole vision has become to you like the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to one who is literate, saying, “Read this, please.”
And he says, “I cannot, for it is sealed.”
Then the book is delivered to one who is illiterate, saying, “Read this, please.”
And he says, “I am not literate.”
Therefore the Lord said:
“Inasmuch as these people draw near with their mouths
And honor Me with their lips,
But have removed their hearts far from Me,
And their fear toward Me is taught by the commandment of men,
Therefore, behold, I will again do a marvelous work
Among this people,
A marvelous work and a wonder;
For the wisdom of their wise men shall perish,
And the understanding of their prudent men shall be hidden.” Don’t lie to yourselves, the Torah and the Nevi’im have been speaking about you! Psalms 95:7b-11
Today, if you will hear His voice:
“Do not harden your hearts, as in the rebellion,
As in the day of trial in the wilderness,
When your fathers tested Me;
They tried Me, though they saw My work.
For forty years I was grieved with that generation,
And said, ‘It is a people who go astray in their hearts,
And they do not know My ways.’
So I swore in My wrath,
‘They shall not enter My rest.’ ” Repent and be converted, do not deceive yourselves, God is not mocked!
I love David Pawson. He's really helping me understand the Bible and helping me on my Christian journey. Thank you 😊🙏🙏
He’s amazing. So blessed by every single one of his bible teaching videos!!!!!
First time listener. “This book will make you wise not clever.” First 30 seconds. Then it just gets better. Praise God.

I just finished listening to Pastor David Pawson teaching on Salt n Light that blew me away. I came here to be taught more. Awesome teacher - so Gentle and kind speaker that I can't stop listening to him. Thank you LORD for this teacher.
Thank you Pastor David. I just found you on UA-cam and I can not stop listening you. May the Lord Bless you always.

Such an awesome teacher. I can't wait to read it after listening to this summary and overview. Helps me to understand so much better. Love his gentle voice and teaching. God bless David Pawson ministries for putting these out there.
I agree!! So glad to know brother Pawson and to have such amazing teachings. God bless 🙏😁
I have the book. It's one of my most favorite in my library. I love it so much that I bought one for my parents to share and my 90yr old grandmother. You won't be disappointed!
I love the way this man connects the Bible text with the Hebraic background. I think that is the best way to teach the Bible and put it in its proper context. Thanks David!
Blessed by the teachings of this man of God❤
He was simply the best teacher! What a gift he was.

Respect sir
Awesome!!! Thank you! 2025 here we go again
O how I love his sermons. Thank you Lord Jesus
Very charming speaker. Very good in explaining. Never a "double visit" . Thank You for making his talks available anytime.
Love David Pawson's teachings, and have for years. Recently I had eye surgery and I have to be face down. So I figure if the Lord has allowed me to be facedown for a period of time, I might as well heal with Him in His word, and Pawson's teachings have been an absolute treasure to me.
I could write the same! Retinal detachment in both eyes over the last year and a half, as well as cataracts, totaling sox surgeries.
I like David's theology, eschatology, soteriology!
Grace and peace in Jesus 🙏
I love his teaching and have already started following his teaching.... Always blessed learning from the wise teacher... I also heard he is no more but his teaching will be a blessing to many more christian's in days to come....
Thank you for the video's...
With lots of loves from north east India ..
I don't agree with him, that someone damaged the Bible dividing it with numbers and verses. Makes no sense why would he say that.
It has been a great blessing to go through all the classes taught by this great man of God.
we loved this our whole bible study went through it! thanks david!!
♥️♥️♥️🙏🙏🙏
43 YEARS OLD. JUST NOW FINDING OUT HOW TO STUDY GOD'S WORD. GOD HAS LITERALLY ANSWERED MY PRAYERS! GOD IS REAL! JESUS IS REAL! THE HOLY SPIRIT IS REAL!
IM ALIVE!
*GOTTA KEEP UP WITH MOMENTUM;
LORD, PLEASE FOR THE REST IF MY LIFE KEEP ME HUNGRY FOR ALL OF YOU, ALL YOU HAVE TO OFFER, KEEP ME WITH A MIND STAYED ON YOU.
CANT WAIT TO SEE WHATS IN STORE.
Thank you Mr David Pawson for giving the key to understand and unlock the Bible . Your teaching been a big help for me to understand the Bible . Thank you once again ..............
The best Teacher I have heard so far in my relationship with my Creator God
I’m so blessed listening to him
One of the best preachers. Do yourself a favor and listen to all his sermons.
God bless the hearers of this message 💌
Such a blessing to all people who are lucky enough to hear his preaching. May the Lord bless you and your family dear Mr. Pawson!
Finally found this and it has opened up a lot of knowledge for me. I thank the Lord Jesus Christ for you David. God bless and keep you.
Great preaching my brother. I would not say that God does not want his Bible put into chapters and verses. After all He is God, and if He did not want it to happen He definitely could have prevented it. These numbers help us in finding certain parts of the scripture. Yes it can cause some problems, but the benefits outweigh the cons.
I'm starting to read God's word and this is helping me a lot. God bless you for this amazing work sir!
what awesome insights and teachings by PR David pawson? they are transformative
Mr Pawson You are in God’s Glory I am so pleased for your service amen
What a blessing this was for me?!!! Thank you David for this great teaching.
I like to address the Son of our Lord as Yeshua and applaud Mathew for making his roots clear to us. I pray that my instinct feeling that He loves to be called by this name is correct. Thank you for teaching us about Mathew's efforts to keep us united with the Jews - 34:41 . . . . I am yours, Yeshua. You are my King!
Jerry Collins Isaiah 29:13
Therefore the Lord said:

And honor Me with their lips,
But have removed their hearts far from Me,
And their fear toward Me is taught by the commandment of men,
Praise Yah! 👏🙌
I first heard you when you partnered Derrick Prince for the Full Gospel in Singapore around the late eighties. Your expounding of the Word till today is evergreen. Thank you so much, Bro Pawson. May the good LORD extend your life till He returns. Shalom 🌿🙏🌿
wow David Pawson and Derek Prince together. I would have loved to have been there!
I'm amazed at davids teaching I say he's the best of them all unbelievable stuff
What richness of the Scriptures made understandable ❤❤❤
I could not discern all the wisdom in David Pawsons teaching in 7 lifetimes!!!. Thank you so much for these expositions. Thank God for technology, that this wisdom has been captured on film and isn't lost. I could listen forever!!
Just now finding God and was directed to this Godly man. Through this series he has truly unlocked the bible for me. What a wonderful humble and amazing human being. Thank you David, now I can read the Bible with a much better understanding. RIP.
Strong and powerful teacher of the word of God.
thanks so much for this great teaching of this nice brother David Pawson

I was a child when I saw the concorde flying for the first time. I saw it and I stared at it in wonder until it was gone. I'd never seen anything like it before, and in my excitement, and not knowing what kind of plane it was, I ran in and told my mom and dad, "I just saw a plane with it's wings back like so," as I put my arms back behind me. It wasn't until later that I found out that it was a Concorde. This iwas in the early 80's and Concorde was barely around 10 years or so. Him holding that plane up brought back that memory.
I’ve just discovered him also. I’m committed to reading the Bible through for myself.
Papa, you’ve blessed me...stay blessed
Thank you for all I love your teaching so much Praise the Lord
I Daily listen and LEARN!
Addendum to my previous comment: I have since discovered Dr. Chuck Missler, a brilliant biblical commentator, whose teaching of TRUTH, has expanded my knowledge of scripture. Both teachers lay a foundation, each in their own field of expertise, for every believer, under the guidance of the HOLY SPIRIT, to excel in understanding the different books containing the WORD of our GOD, from Genesis to Revelation. I am indebted to both of these biblically astute and gifted scholars.
I’m crying and I wish that I had known about this man before hand he’s literally healed my Bible Study he’s healed my mind he’s healed my spirit now when I go to teach about something I take the entire book and teach it
Hi Do not cry but thank the Lord He has shown you this amazing teacher and that you know him now
David passed away May 2020 - Ascension Day! At age of 90 - Yet His ministry continues and will do for as long as we are able to do so
- do visit his website davidpawson .org and .co.Uk for free audio video resources and also the website - explaining biblical truth .global( no spaces) for free pdf downloads and free online to read books
May the Lord bless you abundantly
I have been soaking in Pastor Pawson's teaching since 2016, four yrs. of biblical knowledge where my former "growth" in scripture was in form of "devotional", a line of scripture here and there, out of context, which I have learned through his teaching is spiritually crippling
I'm learning a lot from your teaching...God bless your heart
Part 1 done ❤
**Thank you**
Amen!Thank you for sharing Pastor. Stay safe much love God bless 🙏
I personally disagree
- David wants you to read the whole book in context ,.......and that also means checking what he says ...............not accepting what David says and reading just a verse which even David may be quoting out of context ....it is frustrating and hard work but it means you read the verse in contact and then can judge if David is right
oh gosh!
Sola Scriptura to a whoole new level!
As someone who believes but doesn't attend a denominational worship, these lessons are going to see my through until my death
Nathan Lodge I know the feeling, at times I believe many believers go through this kind of phase, however it is worth considering that you are robbing others of both your company and wisdom you have to offer.
May God Bless and keep you.
Absolutely brilliant
Thank you for these videos!!
my very first certaificate i received in my church the study of pastor pawson in the mayfair babtist church south africa with ps willie denglar
Great video but, as almost all those who claim to be christians, he seems not to know where the New Covenant starts in the Bible. Because he called the Gospels as part of the New Covenant.
I'm almost in tears after listening to this great soul sharing the love he got from The Almighty Creator...
YOU ARE A BIG BLESSING TO MY LIFE AND I BLESS YOU IN THE NAME
Jerry Collins good teaching always angers the devil and his servants.
Inspired preacher and Bible teacher
Matthew is not being anti-Jewish. He is merely warning the Jews, and including the Gentiles in Gods salvation. Jesus came to call sinners to repentance. That includes everyone.
I have watched a few of your videos. Thank you for showing us the way and the truth in an explanation that helps so much. God bless you!
It is transformative!
This really helped us on our walk. Only thing, we would have loved it to be King James. God bless you.
Just discovering David Pawson. Imagine having access to John MacArthur, RC Sproul, Paul Washer, Zac Pooman, David Pawson, Voddie Baucham, Steve Lawson, Alistair Begg, Justin Peters.
Some of these men have very different views on key aspects of the Truth - not that Ive heard of them all
David does not agree with MacArthur and Sproul on a number of key topics especially "salvation"
Your speaking is so grate sir, i want to improve my English and words of god in English
26:28 I am struggling with this - specifically Matthew 5:17 about not abolishing the law but to fulfill it
In Mr Pawson’s other videos, it became clear to me that the law is written on our hearts and we are to continue repenting and continue believing, etc
But in contrast, if the law is not abolished, are we to follow it today?
I’m seeking truth in earnest, I appreciate any guidance
I HAVE FOUND PEACE HERE 🎉
*_God Bless_*
Thank you sooooooooo much
Thank you, God bless..
2019 November 7th....pure word
🎉🎉❤❤
Has David Pawson explained in any videos about - "I desire Mercy, not Sacrifice" Mat 9:13 and Hos 6:6. I'm unable to understand it clearly. I want to know his thoughts on this.
I feel like I am missing something here, didn't Mr. Pawson did a video on 'An Overview of the New Testament?'
HI - No - He did record an Overview of the Old Testament but not the New Testament
@DavidPawsonMinistry didn't he did it in the introduction of Matthew. If memory serves me, it is where he explained the silent 400 years between Malachi and Matthew.
I bought the paperback Unlocking the Bible by David Pawson the other day not knowing what to expect. After reading through the the Pentateuch, I must say I've unknowingly acquired a gem. The only problem I have is that the book is too small but thick and thus not easy to read the middle section. Overall it's an excellent guidebook for believers in Christ to know His story more in-depth and in the process understand and appreciate God's redemptive plan for fallen humanity.
Hi Are you aware you can also get an Unlocking the Bible 'volume 2' ......as David fondly referred to it - All of the charts and illustrations used in these videos are available in a book to purchaser or download free of charge from Davids website
Thanks, will look for it in my local bookstore.
Its not stocked by book shops but you will find it on Amazon - or download free of charge from davidpawson.org
@@DavidPawsonMinistry Thanks!
it comes in large print you know
Oh his voice is another place
God bless you
Amazing video!!
Thanks you😇🇬🇧
Plato's dialogues have also been (artificially) divided up into standard verses. It happens quite a lot in the study of Classical literature.
Reading the bible book by book is the proper way of reading the bible.
I am loving it...
So nice seeing one of my Angami brothers watching this series too..
my english is not very well，hope somebody can make subtitle or caption for this video，thank god！
HI This is Steve - adding english subtitles is very easy for us - what language were you thinking about ?
Glad I listened. No more. He says we have to wrestle with the laws of Moses! No we don’t. We are dead to the law. I am done with him. No wonder he rejected dispensationalism.
With respect that is exactly what David teaches - we are longer under the law of Moses - we have liberty, through the death of Jesus
Yes David did rejected dispensationalism because you will not discover Dispensationalism through reading your Bible yourself.
- its a theory devised by John Nelson Darby in the 1830's. Why is there no clear teachings of this theory in the writing of the early church fathers nor from the writings of Paul , Peter , John ?
You are free to listen to David ......or not, but why do you believe the teaching of any man?
- Read the Bible for yourself, its the only source of Gods Truth
18:39 He mentioned that Matthew changed some details in Mark's gospel. He said that in Matthew's gospel, the parable of the lost sheep has a different context from Mark's gospel... but Mark did not wrote the parable of the lost sheep in his book. The parable of the lost sheep can only be found in the book of Matthew and Luke, not in Mark. I think David Pawson is indeed a good teacher, but it would better to check and test everything first.
Hi Geoffrey This is Steve on behalf of David - you are correct. You may observe that David teaches from memory and does not use notes. That is not an excuse. Unlocking the Bible contains some 100 hours of recording and this is the first time this error has been pointed out in all the years this video has been watched. Thank you for pointing this out to us.
Those mistakes happens when one preaches...misquoting names..if you are a preacher you will understand it well...if you check David's other sermons, he says the very same thing you said
5:50 reading the bible outloud to yourself even when you are by yourself
Thank you
GOD BLESS YOU MR POWSON! NO WORDS TO EXPLAIN MY FEELING!!! ARE you ALIVE NOW??
yes David Pawson is alive but he is not well
Coral Vorster what do you know about his health? Where can we find out about his health.? Thank you.
Coral Vorster Thank you Coral. I have tried to find out if he is still alive but all other comments were dated 2016. He is a special man.
By the way I dont suppose you know when he visited Shepparton in Australia? Thanks and bless you.
Unfortunately Pastor Pawson passed away in August of this year but his teaching is engraved in our hearts . So simple yet so profound
@@rehanabrijmohan Pawson passed away 21 May, 2020.
it is true God did not give us chapters and verses but they have value when directing someone to a certain portion of the scriptures. David's refusal to give us those directions subtracts from the effectiveness of his teachings.
Amen
If you add subtitles, then it would be good to understand for many people

26:56 not mixed materials but weaving wool with linen together in one garment. the mixing of linen and wool was only for priestly garments. however, to remind the nation that god intended to make them a nation of kings and priests, they were to wear tassles attached to the corners of their cloaks of entwined wool and linen. kings and priests were to be guided by the law of god which the tassles were the reminder much as knots are tied to a finger to remind of something.
28:29 magi was used by persia, babylon etc mean wisemen used to refer to magicians, seers, prophets, priests. how would gentiles know about the prophecy of micah and come to just worship and leave? these are the of the tribe of levi who remained in babylon when the exile was over.
juggling all of Yeshua's sayings is hard. how do I 1) avoid anger 2) love God more than my own child and 3) act justly like God said in Micah 6:8? the situation is probably more typical than I think. my husband left me and my son we now live with my parents, and i'm trying to keep my son from flunking 7th grade. his grammy (my husbands mom) bought him a PS4 and shes buying him an Xbox this year, all he wants to do is play games! I feel like im being bulldozed by people who want to spoil him. see, I told you it is a typical situation. pray for me and my son Tristan please!
Anita Burke Step 1 - Learn what the Bible says about the subject and then ask God to help you with the gap between what He wants and what you DO
ANGER
www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ephesians+4%3A26-31&version=ESV;NIV
www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=James+1%3A20&version=NKJV
Humility before the lord requires your obedience (and therefore knowledge) to his words and a sincere confession to god (and sometimes through another believer) when you come up short.
Anita Burke Step 2 once you know what God has to say about the subject/situation through his BIBLE AND CONFIRMATION (meaning asking somebody who has some years in The Way and who actually believe the Bible to confirm your understanding of what the scripture says about the subject) begin to quote that scripture hourly daily minutes
Anita Burke Brother Pawson is a Bible teacher of the highest order... direct practical and clean...
Worthy of years of rewatching.
To this I would add the series to help with some “practical applications”
ua-cam.com/video/aVommW3gM6g/v-deo.html
Matthew 7:12. Deuteronomy 6:4. Read that whole section. Levetics 19:8. You're not going to be able to keep all the laws. No one can. That's why he was sacrificed. The sacrificial system was a pact between God and the Jews with Moses foreshadowing Christ as a mediator defending on their behalf as a mediator and delivering to them on behalf of a mediator. That bond kept them in good standing with the Lord through sacrifices to attone for their sin. Jesus was the final sacrifice for our sin and brought the new covenant that would be written in our hearts according to the prophet Jeremiah. When you mess up, fine. He took that sacrifice you were supposed to make when you messed up on the cross. That covered past, present, and future all in one whack. I encourage you to know what's desired and set your mind on a relationship with the Lord. If you'll focus on the two Jesus said all day everyday the rest fall into place on their on with no effort. Are there exceptions, and times we trip? Absolutely. That's present even in the millenial reign for 1000 years after his 2nd coming even if it's in extremely small amounts. The point I'm trying to make is don't stumble, or beat yourself up. He took that beating for you. When that registers you'll love him all the more. Always press forward through all situations keeping the LORD and his word close at heart.
If you're a single mom, lay down rules if it's affecting your sons upbreaking. He will appreciate you for it later. He will be a man soon enough and needs a moral standard to be patterned into his life before adulthood. Education is important and laziness is frowned upon scripturally.
Amen!
