Thank you for watching this sermon! Did this change your perspective on being a disciple? What was your takeaway? Let me know!
At that time Jesus was in the form of a body that a person can see and follow, in this day, lets say a person is willing to give up everything and follow, but HOW do they follow Jesus today ? If following the ten commandments is not following, and giving up everything is not following, what is considered actually following Jesus ? I just ran across your videos in the last month and I am so thankful for you and the blessings that God has given you to explain and share in the way that you do....Thank you for your passion and inspirational videos and deciding to share them with us. Have an amazing day! :)
@@user-qe1ie2zh1vFirst, Pastor Allen would tell you that Jesus came to fulfill the Levitical law, not the Moral Law - the Moral Law (which is the Ten Commandments) is still in effect, and always will be in affect - this is part of God’s moral attributes, and through the process of sanctification, we adopt these qualities from God, over time. As He continues to purify us through the work of the Holy Spirit, we take on these moral attributes of God.
(Hopefully I explained that well :) I have been watching Pastor Allen for about six months, and I feel like I’ve practically gone to seminary :))
Second, as far as following Christ, this will be something that Christ puts on your heart, personally. Like you said, He is not here, in a body, so you can’t just sell everything you own and hope to meet up with him in Israel. Jesus might like you right where you are. Not everyone who becomes a Christian is told to sell all their stuff and become a missionary worker - that’s my dream, and it may be yours, but even if it is, it may not be what Jesus has planned for you.
Until you know, read the Bible. There are a few ways that God speaks to us:
1, Through the Word: ALWAYS through the word and through prayer - And this may take a little time. God likes to make sure that you will be faithful and follow through consistently. You have to remember that Israel hurt his heart, so He likes to make sure we follow through.
2, Through your pastor: Join a local church. get involved in community and share with others about Jesus.
3, Through other people, teachers, friends, etc., and of course, Jesus, our Messiah
4, dreams/visions. 5, the Holy Spirit, and lastly, personal experiences. but if you’re new and learning, I say, depend on the word, and not your own understanding - especially in the beginning.
but there are no shortcuts to building a relationship with God. You have to know Jesus, The Word, and the Holy Spirit… And pray before reading the Bible, ask God to give you a clear mind, and lead you in the Word, and show you what He wants you to know, ask for discernment, and His will, not your own.
Hopefully, I have not overwhelmed you 😊❤
God Bless you!! ❤❤❤
What is the name of the book you suggested? I love all your teachings! I am learning so much from you. God bless you plenty for your faithfulness 🙏🏽
First, let me just say, "Thank you for following God's calling in your life." You are obviously blessed by God to teach His Word! I thank God for allowing me to come across your videos when I was looking for a better understanding of a lesson I was teaching in Sunday School for the Young Adults. Since then, I have gone through many of your series and have been using them as my Bible study time. I have learned so much more on such a deeper level that I have been wanting. While going through your series on Revelation, my 16 year old daughter heard some of the things that you were saying and I would often times tell them about what I had learned that day. Which had caused her to start asking many questions, which lead to her accepting Jesus as her LORD and Savior. She had gone up as a 7 year old but realized that was not the real deal. So, again Thank You for following the path God has so very clearly laid out for you.
I thought about your question, and was going to answer it with another question, but all I could come up with was, "Does a one legged duck swim in circles?" But I won't. This really changes my perspective on the 11 disciples that followed Jesus and what made them leave just because he came up to them and said "Follow Me". I loved the background of where that came from. How excited they must have been to hear Him say that. Tying the rich young ruler into it all and showing us that we all have to give up something to follow Him, and that's why lots of people refuse to follow, was such a different way than has ever been presented to me. That was great teaching, Pastor Allan.
This sermon opened my eyes to how to be a good steward.
Raised in Church never heard this way of teaching the Bible as Pastor Nolen does. I thought I knew the Bible pretty well. How wrong was I. I am humbled and hungry for the truth and Righteousness of God. Thank you Pastor Nolan. Keep teaching God's people. We are taking notes and most of us are applying these teaching to our daily lives
Pastor you have explained why you cry. I understand how overwhelming the goodness of God and His Grace and Mercy endures forever. I break down and cry with you when you do. Glory to God. Praise the Lord.
Pastor Allen one of the best bible teachers in these days in times!!! 👍🏿💯
I have learned more from watching you the past 2 months Pastor Allan, than any preachers my whole life. Thank you for doing your calling. you are a wonderful teacher. May the Lord see your heart like I have and bless you.
Wow! That was beautiful. My heart needed that. You opened my eyes with that teaching. Thank you is all I can say!
Pastor, I have been in and out of churches all of my life. I’ve learned recently the difference between preached too and being taught. You are definitely the best TEACHER of the gospel I have ever heard. I am so grateful I stumbled upon your videos over the last couple of months. My young adult son loves you as well. I often say I wish he had a Bible College. Your teaching style is a GIFT from God. Continue using it! My son and I plan to drive from Mississippi one day to have service with you!
I love you Pastor Allen and I am praying for you and your church. You have been a blessing to me. Thank you for making these videos. You are helping me to grow in Christ.
I have to tell you Pastor Allen. I do and will cry. For me when you learn the truth you have to look deep inside ourselves, to truly know that you are a child of GOD. for me it comes down to only one word. LOVE. For GOD IS LOVE. And GOD so love the world that HE gave is only SON. Now, if that is not love, I don't what is. For me, that is the greatest love of all. Amen.
Please don't cry pastor Allen, remember Jesus Christ love u, an I thank u for your assume services😊😊😊😊😅
Please forgive me, but I cry most of the time. So, I thank GOD for the SPIRIT.
The Pastor cries because his heart is so full of the Love of God. He is not sad, he is happy!
shooooot, this video had me crying listening to him, God has truely blessed Pastor Allen, more people need to see all of these videos !
I’ve heard this preached and read it or listening to it I always thought it was part of it selling and giving to poor . After he said I tell you it be wadis for camel to fit through eye of needle that it is for the rich to enter heaven. But soon as you said is that what would get him to heaven I thought doing gods will which is sorted what you said as Jesus tells him to come follow me. It’s made me realise I’ve to go sell everything which I have nothing but I know I need to stop something and follow him . Make him lord over my life and make him my life. So once again thank you for explaining it in away I understand. Maybe Holy Spirit help not maybe definitely helps to . But also thank you for what you do and that’s giving up time so people like myself understand these things come to revolution that aww this is what that means or this is what needing done. Thank you
Thank you, Pastor Allen, for teaching us..
I Love your teachings!!! I have learned so much from listening to you.
Thank you Pastor. Your explanations help me understand the deepest meanings of the bible. You are an awesom teacher.
This series is so timely for me. Im a new believer and are looking for this guidance 🙏
wow never knew what it meant when Jesus said "Come, follow me" awesome thanks you pastor for another great message
I agree with you about those three words, "come follow me." I come to realize that it was not just meant for his disciples. I believe that it was meant for all of us. I believe that you get that already. GOD bless you.
Amen 🙏, Pastor Nolan!!!
I can think so hard on this and think.. no matter what i do i will not make it😢 hell is what we all deserve, but because I have a personal relationship with Him, talking and listening EVERY day, I feel this is what He wants. To be your first and last. I am learning every day. I watch at least 2 to 3 videos from Brother Allen a day, and I have learned so much. 🎉🙌✝️✝️✝️🙌 God is leading this man. I am sharing his videos and able to have a conversation with people who have been in the Bible for years. I feel like I am making God happy from how I am growing, learning, and sharing. Thank you for your teaching, sir.💙 🙏✝️✝️✝️🙏
To me, my mom is a Saint too she is a really good person and I'm a bad person in my opinion but I wish I was a better person all my life. Now it's hard to change but I stopped my physical sinning and I have a strong desire to be good because of the model that Jesus became for us. He's the perfect person and my God
For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. David is my favorite person in Biblical history. As a young man, he had so much faith in God, he was willing to fight Goliath knowing God would deliver the giant warrior into his hands. Years later as a man of power, he was captivated by a beautiful married woman, Bathsheba. He sent her husband to the front lines of battle, knowing he would not likely survive so he could have this woman. He later repented and returned to walk in the Lord. Such is the struggle of humanity. It shows that in reality, we are all simply sinners, either lost or saved by grace through faith in Christ Jesus 😉 not of works, lest anyone should boast.
Thanks paster and good food for my family and i need to understand lot from your teching and i am from srilanka
Hey Pastor , could you help me understand what Jesus meant by, "it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of A needle than for a rich person to enter the Kingdom of God!"?
We were both born in 1960.

Dang Big Bro, teared me up inside 10 seconds. Good effort haha ❤
Pastor right now I'm reading Leviticus and it seems very repetitive I know there are subtleties in the passages but can you explain if it is still important for Christians to read the Old Testament and how can we apply it?
The OT teaches us that The Law only leads to death. We need a redeemer.
The bible doesn't say anything about Ramah. Who is this lady that was following Jesus? Please make a video for it.
What book did he say to get to make it easier to follow the gospels? I just couldn’t make out the word. I’m hearing “harmony of the gospels” please help!
Yes, Harmony of the Gospels
@@allennolan thank you so much! That’s what I thought you said but wanted to make sure.
I thought believing in the gospel gets you to heaven...?
You are a wonderful teacher of the word of God, however, I am a little wary of the personal references, and too many apologies ( even thou seems relevant) that takes away from more time spending on the " Meat" of the topic!!...
** My comment here speaks to how much I want the information that I know Pastor Nolan has to give!! In other wirds and hungry for the word, and am impatient!!
What most do not understand all the apostles either were murdered of cast in prison. Jesus told them plainly “indeed ye shall drink of my cup “Mathew 20:23 read Mathew 24:9 if indeed the Bible is a book of example the sobering facts are this is a high risk high reward faith. if required will you give your life for your friends ?
3:43
Anyone could read the words in the Bible but not everyone allows the holy Spirit to interpret those words and that's a fact you read from Matthew Mark Luke and John as does everyone else but who were these people you claim to know the heritage and the bloodlines of many other people but who were these people have you traced their bloodlines I think not
Pastor.Allan.can.you.enligten.concerning.Matt.16.28.and.Mark.9.38.whether.it.apply.to.Jesus.comtenpory.or.is.it.still.prophetic. 16:07
I’m not sure I agree that discipleship is the gospel of Jesus Christ and not the death, burial and resurrection of Christ for our sins according to scripture. Paul rebuked the carnal Christians at Corinth and exhorted them onto maturity in the Spirit but he began the letter addressing them as sanctified brothers and sisters in Christ. I’m not knocking discipleship as all believers are clearly called to it, but that’s not the gospel of Jesus Christ that Paul said we are saved by believing in 1 Corinthians 15:1-4.
Yeah, I don't get what he's saying either. Ive seen other videos of Pastor Allen teaching the true gospel(1 Corinthians 15:1-4). So I guess he means that following Christ is the same as having faith? Then again Judas was a "follower" but not a believer....
@@SalvadoporGracia All born again believers are called to discipleship so I’m not knocking that whatsoever. But we aren’t saved every day if we deny ourselves and follow Him competently that day. We are saved by faith/trust in His death burial and resurrection for our sins, in our place. We are justified by His faithfulness and righteousness.
@@thirdplace3973 Amen! Couldn't agree more. Just don't understand why a pastor would conflate discipleship and salvation like that. Causes confusion. Especially a good teacher like Nolan.
@@SalvadoporGracia I don’t know. If Paul didn’t list it in 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 then it’s not the gospel of Jesus Christ.
I think you're a great teacher if you would only teach another thing I think is strange is that if you read the Old testament and all the names and words in the Old testament and then it jumps over to the New testament John Paul George Ringo you know the Beatles after not but just saying the letter j wasn't even introduced into any language before 450 years ago so if you're going to pronounce the person that you're giving your entire soul in existence to maybe you should teach on how to pronounce that name correctly like I said you're a great teacher if you would only teach all that little crying and weeping patting yourself on the back for all the theology classes that you took that's not teaching that's patting yourself on the back you're very intelligent and you have very much knowledge if you just cut through it and get to it we would very much appreciate it other than that have a nice day pat yourself on the back a little more
I have the same experience with crying. I don’t shout or speak on tongues. I seem to choke up cry or weep, and it is not always indicative of sadness. It’s the way the Holy Spirit chooses for me, I have come to find. 🫶🏼
