Photo of Founding Pastor Ike T. Sidebottom

This collection of Bible messages on a variety of subjects were preached by our founding pastor, Ike T. Sidebottom, at College Avenue Church (original name of Grace Bible Church) in Fort Worth, TX back in the 1960s. Brother Ike, as he was affectionately known, was one of the foremost preachers and teachers of the Word of God, though he is best remembered by his true humility and love. He spoke with a slow, deep voice as he preached the gospel of God’s grace and taught the Word “rightly divided.” Sadly, these are the only recordings we have of Brother Ike in MP3 format.

Israel, Gentiles, the Church - Part 2

Dispensational Distinctions

As God dealt with Israel under the law throughout most of the Old Testament Scriptures, what was the situation for the Gentiles, all the other nations? In this message, we look at the bleak spiritual condition of the Gentiles in times past. While Gentile salvation was prophesied, it was not realized while Israel was under the covenant of law, and the truth concerning the Church, the Body of Christ, was still a mystery, hidden in God.

Scripture References: Ephesians 2:11-12

From Series: "Dispensational Distinctions"

An examination of dispensational distinctions which need to be made in order to understand the Bible. Distinctions such as Israel vs the Gentiles vs the Church; Law vs Grace; Prophecy vs Mystery; the Twelve vs Paul; and many more.
