Title: The Parables of the Kingdom

Synopsis: This presentation explores the Parable of the Sower as a warning to all who hear Jesus’ words, especially "churchgoers." The parable serves as a mirror, calling hearers and readers to "the obedience of faith." It also explains how the Bible defines the Kingdom as God’s coming government on a restored earth—not an unrevealed “mystery,” but “the divine secret hidden for ages and generations, but now revealed to His saints” (Col. 1:26).

Title: The Principle of Biblical Agency

Synopsis: Biblical Agency is an important but under-appreciated principle of Bible Study that has much to offer our understanding of the mystery of God and Christ.

The importance of grasping Biblical Agency is on par with and in harmony with the truths revealed in Psalm 110.

Title: Trinitarian Tricks and Confessions

Synopsis: First, leading Trinitarian scholars (Catholic, Orthodox, Protestant, Reformed, Evangelical, etc.) openly admit: the doctrine of the Trinity is not clearly taught in Scripture. No single verse states it, and it conflicts with many plain biblical texts. Their surprising candor exposes the doctrine's absence from the Bible — a shocking fact for such a supposedly essential belief. Second, this unmasks common word-games and logical tricks Trinitarian apologists use to defend it. Once seen, these sleights-of-hand lose their power. For more visit thebiblejesus.com

Jennie Wyeth

Biography: Jennie is a mother, registered nurse, and owner of a medical practice in Queensland, Australia. She has been a Christian most of her life and is grateful for every opportunity to share the gospel of the Kingdom with others.

Title: Learning to Trust God

Synopsis: This unpacks the phrase “training for reigning and schooling for ruling” by showing that everyday trials serve as God’s present training ground for future life in the Kingdom. Believers are being prepared now for immortality and ruling with Jesus; hardship is God’s loving discipline that forms maturity, endurance, and genuine trust. Through Scripture and a personal crisis story, it presents true faith as “100% trust”—not negotiating outcomes with God. The message applies this especially to parenting, warning that our children (and desired results) can become idols when our peace depends on God saying “Yes.” Instead, we should pray faithfully, speak when the time is right, and trust God’s will. This is how we learn the faith of Jesus and become fit to reign in the age to come.
