In this message, Minister Jed Logue explores Isaiah 66 and challenges us to reframe how we view God, not as someone who can be contained by buildings, systems, or even our understanding, but as the Almighty Creator who longs for authentic worship from humble, contrite, and reverent hearts.This message concludes our journey through the book of Isaiah, a powerful series calling us to deeper trust, bigger faith, and a renewed vision of God's glory and justice.If you've ever wrestled with dry spiritual routines, felt distant from God, or wondered how to worship in a way that actually matters, this message is for you.

Deuteronomy 29 tells of the LORD's renewal of His covenant in Moab with His people Israel. Verse 1 informs us that the words of this covenant are in addition to the covenant made in Mount Horeb, ie Mount Sinai. From verses 2-9 Moses is summoning all the people to stand before him at the edge of the Promised Land to hear some final words to strengthen and encourage Israel before their entry into the land. The nation is reminded of their Sovereign's blessings throughout the last 40 years. Notice in verses 4 they were told of hearing ears, this in contrast to what the nation later became – those whose ears were closed to the gospel message brought by the Messiah. Israel had been saved from powerful foes. In verses 10-15 Moses implores Israel to hearken to the words of the Almighty. The covenant that the LORD their God was making with them that day was of great import and had to be faithfully observed in order to continue to inherit the land promised to their fathers. Verses 16-28 they are warned of dangers which could overtake them and they might forsake the Living God. We notice that verse 18 speaks of a root of bitterness springing up suddenly and preventing the nation from receiving what their God had graciously prepared for them. The writer to the Hebrews comments on this in chapter 12 verses 12-16. The nation is warned that idolatry remains an ever present danger for them. Failure to keep the ways of their Almighty Creator will bring swift and decisive judgment. The chapter concludes in verse 29 with a reminder of the great blessings of God in revealing to His people the things hidden from those who fail to understand the truths of our Omnipotent God.

This article was triggered by the situations of two single women that I have been inspired to advise to become Handmaidens.Most of this article applies to every Believer and is addressed elsewhere on the website The vast majority of this article is also relevant to married women. That said this article focuses specifically on single women who are truly committed to serving the Almighty Creator whose true Name is “Yah the Eternally Self-Existing” for the rest of their lives without a husbandRelationship With Creator is broadcast live Fridays 12Noon – 1PM ET and Music on W4CY Radio (www.w4cy.com) part of Talk 4 Radio (www.talk4radio.com) on the Talk 4 Media Network (www.talk4media.com).

Numbers 3 briefly tells us of the genealogy of Aaron, the High Priest, and of his 4 sons (two of whom Nadab and Abihu, were slain by Yahweh on the opening day of the Tabernacle) – the priests – the other 2 sons being Eleazar and Ithamar. Verses 5-39 outlines the duties of the Levites. As a result of their faithfulness, in the tragedy of the idolatry associated with the golden calf, the Levites became the ministers who acted for the LORD and in service of the Tabernacle. The Levites answered Yahweh's call: “Who is on My side?” There were 3 sons born to Levi, who was Jacob's 3rd son. Levi's sons were Gershom, Kohath and Merari. These were responsible for the carrying of the Tabernacle and its furniture. The special items of furniture were carried by the Kohathites. The numbers of adult males for the 3 clans is stated in the record. Verses 40 to 51 speaks of the redemption of the firstborn males of the Levites and of their cattle. The valuation for the male Levites was 5 shekels of silver per person. Psalm 148 completes the Deuteronomy Psalms. The writer, in verses 1 to 12, calls upon every created being to praise Yahweh. Even the inanimate natural created objects to praise the Almighty Creator. Verses 13 and 14 tell us that the greatest praise is due to the LORD because of the redemptive work of our God in raising up “a horn of salvation” for His people Israel and for His saints (the faithful followers of our Lord Jesus Christ). Note how these words are quoted by Zechariah, the father of John the Baptist, in Luke 1 verses 68 and 69. Psalms 149 and 150 are the conclusion to the Psalms; just as Psalms 1 and 2 were the introduction. The Book of Psalms is brought to a crescendo in these two Psalms (149 and 150). Psalms 149 and 2 are companion Psalms which carry the same essential message – the kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ will be established by the power of the Almighty. None can prevent the kingdom from coming; and the Almighty's wisdom is to be found among those who submit to the divine authority: all resistance will be totally crushed. So the two Psalms bookend the Book of the Psalms. Psalm 149 calls upon the righteous to be glad and rejoice in their king. The humble will extol the triumph of their God. Together with their praises is a readiness to avenge all wickedness in high places (2 Corinthians 10:4-6). Psalm 150 is a song that was accompanied by a massive orchestra composed of all manner of instruments. It calls upon everything with breath to praise the Name of Yahweh. Every verse of the song commences with Hallelujah, meaning praise Yah; and the Psalm concludes with Hallelujah. Let everyone of us praise God with our lips; but more importantly let us glorify Him by the way we live. In Luke 13 the enemies of the Lord maliciously attack him by drawing his attention to the Galileans, who Pilate had slaughtered as they were sacrificing in Jerusalem. Jesus tells his audience of Judeans of a recent event where a wall in Siloam – Jerusalem's backyard – fell on many Judeans. Did it happen because they were bad sinners? No, on both counts – but both tragedies provided opportunities for reflection and repentance. This is followed in chapter 13 by the parable of the barren fig tree which represents Israel's failure to bring forth fruit to God. Jesus next, on the Sabbath day heals a woman with an unclean spirit. The parables of the mustard seed and the leaven come next in the record. Then the record speaks of the parable of the narrow door, through which every disciple must strive to enter. Our Lord Jesus Christ laments over Jerusalem – to be torn down stone by stone as the leprous house. He will be welcomed in the Kingdom, when they would say, “Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord” (Psalm 118 verse 26). Chapter 14 of Luke begins with Jesus healing a man on the Sabbath day. That man had clearly been planted as a test for Jesus. Would he heal on the Sabbath day? The Lord was invited to speak at a dinner for Pharisees and Jesus gives advice in the parable of the wedding feast. Then came another parable about the great banquet to which each invited class found excuses not to attend. These people who were called by the gospel to come to the wedding feast of the Son of God all adjudged themselves unworthy of eternal life in the kingdom. As a result of their rejection we have graciously been offered a place. Two parables follow which tell us that as disciples of Jesus we must about count the cost of discipleship and wholeheartedly pursue that goal. Every disciple of our Lord must accept the peace that our Sovereign offers to us through the emissaries of the gospel and then make peace with Him: Ephesians 2 verses 11 to 22. The chapter concludes with the need for zest and salt among our Master's disciples. Salt speaks of sincerity in Christ's disciples as we are told in 1 Corinthians 5 verses 6 to 8.

We have seen the example of Jeremiah and how his prayer life saw him through the sorrow of God's wrath. Now, we turn to Job and see how his prayer life made him famous for his enduring faith. "Behold, we count those blessed who endured. You have heard of the endurance of Job and have seen the outcome of the Lord's dealings, that the Lord is full of compassion and is merciful."James 5:11Job was a successful man; he was a wonderful father, but overall, he was a pious man. This is evidenced by his reaction to losing everything."And it came about, when the days of feasting had completed their cycle, that Job would send and consecrate them, rising up early in the morning and offering burnt offerings according to the number of them all; for Job said, "Perhaps my sons have sinned and cursed God in their hearts." Thus Job did continually."Job 1:5"Then Job arose and tore his robe and shaved his head, and he fell to the ground and worshiped. 21 And he said, "Naked I came from my mother's womb, And naked I shall return there. The LORD gave and the LORD has taken away. Blessed be the name of the LORD." 22 Through all this Job did not sin nor did he blame God."Job 1:20-22"Then his wife said to him, "Do you still hold fast to your integrity? Curse God and die!" 10 But he said to her, "You speak as one of the foolish women speaks. Shall we indeed accept good from God and not accept adversity?" "In all this Job did not sin with his lips."Job 2:9-10After being overwhelmed by the tedious attacks on his integrity, Job declared he would strut in like a prince to God Almighty and demand an answer; he was about to face his Almighty Creator. Our So what?Job's prayer life gave him endurance and comfort beyond our apprehension. Treasured ones of God, pray, pray, pray through all God's work in your life; therein is the abundant life promised, knowing Him.Next time, we will learn the one lesson Job needed to learn to bring his life to an abundance of joy.Brethren, let's pray for one another."What a man is on his knees before God, that he is and nothing more."

In Leviticus chapters 8-10 we are told of the consecration of the priests – Aaron and his sons. Chapter 8 describes the activities of the first seven days. Verses 1-13 tell of Aaron and his sons being robed and anointed. Verses 14-17 speaks of Moses offering the sin offering on their behalf. Verses 18-21 tells of Moses offering the burnt offering for the priests. Verses 22-30 their peace offering is presented by Moses. Verses 31-36 tells us that the service of consecration was to last seven days – speaking of the covenant for which Aaron and his sons would be the ministers.Psalm 107 commences Book 5 of the Psalms – the Deuteronomy psalms, which go through to Psalm 148. Just as the 5th book of Moses crystallised the principles of the Law. So these Psalms are a distilling of the principles of the Almighty. It is then fitting that this section summarises what the LORD seeks from His children. The 107th Psalm could be encapsulated in the words from the ESV, and verse 2, “Let the redeemed of the LORD say, So”. What is it that they say? From verse 1, “Oh give thanks to Yahweh, for He is good, for His stedfast love endures for ever!” This psalm is about the awesome deeds of our Father, the Almighty Creator and His incomparable Son. Our Lord Jesus revealed the Father's character to mankind. Jesus said that whatsoever the Son sees the Father do, that the Son does also. The Psalm is divided into distinct stanzas which are recognised by the call of the refrain ending each stanza, “Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and He delivered them from their distress … Let them thank the LORD for His stedfast love, for His wondrous works to the children of man!” ESV. This refrain varies slightly, but is repeated in verses 6-8, 13-15, 19-21, 28-31 and 43. Each stanza refers to a generalised circumstance of life for the people of God; who having undergone the experience call upon their Almighty Delivery who responds out of His love for His children. And their response is to praise Him for His constant, dependable love and care. The reader can see in many of the related stories specific events that have overtaken the children of God. For example the stanza which begins with the words, verse 23, “They that go down to the sea in ships has an unmistakable echo to the Apostles on the Sea of Galilee when our Lord Jesus Christ calmed the Sea and they exclaimed, “Who is this? ..” For it revealed to them that Jesus was Yahweh's incomparable Son. The Psalm finishes in verse 43, “Whoever is wise, let him attend to these things; let them consider the stedfast love of the LORD (ESV).” Let us pause and ponder.1 Corinthians 16 tells us to be prepared for contributing money when we come to the Lord's Supper. The background to the starting of the collections among the Gentiles was to support their Jewish brethren who were suffering hardship due to their persecution for becoming believers in Christ Jesus and to alleviate the troubles brought by the great famine. The first day of the week was traditionally the day when the believers met to remember our Lord Jesus Christ in bread and wine. By the Jewish calendar it was after 6pm Saturday evening. Those believers who were blessed to have some money gave some of it at that time. It was done discretely that is why Paul requested preparation before they arrived at the gathering. In his final instructions the Apostle sends greetings and commends the house of Stephanos for their addiction to service of fellow believers. The letter ends with both a warning and an implied appeal, verses 22-24, “If anyone has no love for the Lord, let him be accursed. Our Lord come! The grace of the Lord Jesus be with you. My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.” (ESV) Contemplate our privileges in Christ – the blessings that we receive – and how we can love our Lord and live to please him now that we might graciously find a place in his kingdom.

Welcome, Warriors, to The Power of God's Whisper Podcast. Let me ask you something: when was the last time you stopped everything—truly stopped—and let silence fill the room?Our springboard for today's discussion is from 1 Kings 19:12: "And after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire the sound of a low whisper."Elijah was no stranger to chaos—earthquakes, fires, and storms marked his journey. But God didn't choose these grand displays to communicate. Instead, His voice came in the gentlest of whispers. Think about that. The Almighty Creator of the universe chose silence to amplify His message.Silence is an amplifier for God's voice, but our modern world doesn't make it easy. Phones buzz, schedules overrun, and life screams for attention. These distractions can drown out the whispers of God. We chase after Him in the noise, but often He's waiting for us in the stillness.To hear Him, we need intentional silence. Not just quiet, but stillness of the heart and mind. Begin your day with five minutes of silence—no phone, no to-do list, just you and God. As distractions surface, hand them to Him. Try journaling after this quiet time, letting His whisper guide your words.This practice of silence rewires us. It anchors our hearts, helping us discern His voice from the clamor of the world.Question of the Day: When was the last time you created space for God's whisper? What would it look like to make silence a daily habit?Let's Pray:Lord, help us embrace the stillness. Quiet the distractions that pull us away and open our ears to hear Your gentle whisper. Teach us to be still and know You are God. In Jesus' name, Amen.Let's Get To Work!MyR2B Ministries is our full-time ministry. Your paid subscription helps sustain this work and expand our ministry.

In Genesis 44 Joseph sets up yet another test for his brothers. As they journey from the Governor's house homeward they are overtaken by a group dispatched by Joseph. They are accused of stealing the Governor's silver cup. Naturally, the accusation is denied and the brothers' sacks searched. The cup is found in Benjamin's sack and they are escorted back to Joseph's home. Here he confronts them and says, that because of the theft, Benjamin must become a house slave. Judah tells Joseph of the harm this will cause to Israel, his father; he also points out that he had become the guarantor for Benjamin's safe return. Judah requested that Joseph accept him as a substitute slave instead of Benjamin. Chapter 45 tells us that Joseph was so overwhelmed with emotion that he demanded everyone apart from his brothers leave him alone. Joseph then rushed from the room to weep. Once he had regained his composure Joseph washed and came back to his brothers. He than revealed himself to them, “I am Joseph”. On hearing they were speechless. Joseph declared (verse 5) to them that despite their motives God had a purpose for him in Egypt – “to save them”. He then told of the remaining years during which the famine would continue; and requested that they transfer to Egypt for this time. In the land of Goshen he would provide for them. Tell my father, he encouraged them, of my status and wealth in Egypt. Joseph next with much emotion embraced his brother Benjamin. On hearing of the reunion of Joseph and his brothers Pharaoh's household was delighted. Pharaoh, likewise, insisted that the family move to Egypt and be cared for throughout the famine. Transportation wagons were given to assist in the move. They were then liberally given provisions and clothing. Finally Joseph instructed his brothers not to squabble on the journey to Canaan. Israel, Joseph's father, was reluctant to believe the report about Joseph until he saw the wagons. And then his spirit revived within him – like the prodigal son “he was alive again”. And Israel would travel to Egypt to see Joseph. In Psalm 49 we have, yet again, another from the sons of Korah. In it they speak of the natural weakness and finiteness of humanity. The first 4 verses are a plea for all the world to listen to the proverb sung upon the lyre. The instruction must not be ignored. The fate of the ignorant will be to perish like those who are the subject of the Psalm. The psalmist declared that the Almighty will preserve him from those who cheat him and are confident that they do not need God, because they have abundant riches and possessions. Those fools fail to understand that their substance is useless in its ability to redeem any other person; far less can they redeem themselves. They will die and leave their wealth to another. Their property ceases to be theirs once they breathe their last; but the grave will become their eternal home. No matter how great the boastful appear to be, in death they are no different to a slain sheep. Fools they were; and in death fools they stay. The time will come in the future – at the resurrection – when the righteous will be raised to rule. The faithful will be recognised as being wise; and at that time they will be vindicated. The Psalm concludes with advice to have no fear now of the rich and powerful for the time of their existence is short. Our Lord Jesus tells us the same message (Matthew 10 verses 26-33). Though the boastful and rich lived a life of luxury when they die they leave everything behind and take nothing with them. Learn these lessons and apply your heart to wisdom while we have life and opportunity. In the book of Romans we have one of the three most masterful treatments as to how God saves – often called either the atonement, or reconciliation (the others being Galatians and Hebrews). The first chapter introduces us to “the gospel of God” ie the joyful message that it is the desire of the Almighty Creator to help us through our belief, or faith, to become His children and the inheritors of the Kingdom. Paul's thesis is explained in verses 16-17 – namely that the gospel is God's power to save any who believes; since the OT declared in Habakkuk 2 verse 4, “the just shall live by faith”. From verse 18 of chapter 1 to the end of the 2nd chapter he shows that the Gentile world is both guilty and without any excuse. Our Omnipotent Creator has provided indisputable evidence of His power. So that wilfully ignorant sinners stand condemned by their reprobate behaviour. ned by Warwick Rosser and his team, produced by Christadelphianvideo.org

Last week we spoke about the power and authority that comes from living above sin.This week In this broadcast I discuss the reality that one of the fundamental requirements for any True Believer to have a deep personal relationship with the Almighty Creator whose True Name is Yah as in “Yah the Eternally Self-Existing” is to live life free of sin. It is NOT possible to get REALLY CLOSE to Father Yah while you have sin in your life and are therefore a servant of Satan.Relationship With Creator is broadcast live Fridays 12Noon – 1PM ET and Music on W4CY Radio (www.w4cy.com) part of Talk 4 Radio (www.talk4radio.com) on the Talk 4 Media Network (www.talk4media.com).

The Star Matthew 2:1-8 Teacher: Jon Morales, Lead Pastor at Oak Pointe Church Throughout antiquity, creation has been held in high esteem by most cultures; its undeniable beauty and power lead many to believe some kind of deity was responsible for it. Notably, the heavens were of utmost importance in ancient religions and astronomy played a vital role in their belief systems. Some viewed the stars as lanterns for the angels, some thought they were the nail heads holding up the sky, still others believed stars to be the children of the sun and moon. Clearly, the skies have always drawn mankind's gaze heavenward. We know that a Deity is in fact responsible for this beautiful creation. And as the Almighty Creator, He can and does use His creation to accomplish His will. When we gather together tomorrow morning, we will hear about one of the mightiest acts in creation and its far-reaching impact.

In any discussion of Texas history, we have to understand how and why Texas Argued for Secession. So, it's about time to talk about the one subject that is almost guaranteed to make someone, somewhere angry. Somone will absolutely tell me I'm wrong, or that I'm some kind of fanatic. What is the subject? Today the subject is what were the reasons Texas joined the Southern states to secede from the Union In 1861 the southern cotton-growing and slaveholding states decided to leave the union and to form the Confederate States of America. Texas was the seventh state to secede and the last to officially leave before the rebels opened fire on Fort Sumter.   Let me start with reading from the official “DECLARATION OF CAUSES” put forth by the Texas state government on February 2, 1861 "A declaration of the causes which impel the State of Texas to secede from the Federal Union. In view of these and many other facts, it is meet that our own views should be distinctly proclaimed.” We hold as undeniable truths that the governments of the various States, and of the confederacy itself, were established exclusively by the white race, for themselves and their posterity; that the African race had no agency in their establishment; that they were rightfully held and regarded as an inferior and dependent race, and in that condition only could their existence in this country be rendered beneficial or tolerable. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); That in this free government all white men are and of right ought to be entitled to equal civil and political rights; that the servitude of the African race, as existing in these States, is mutually beneficial to both bond and free, and is abundantly authorized and justified by the experience of mankind, and the revealed will of the Almighty Creator, as recognized by all Christian nations; while the destruction of the existing relations between the two races, as advocated by our sectional enemies, would bring inevitable calamities upon both and desolation upon the fifteen slave-holding States.” Those are the official words put forth, but what caused them to put slavery ahead of their previous oath to the union?  When Republican Abraham Lincoln was elected president, the slaveholding states, feared that the executive branch would threaten their rights to own slaves. As an ancillary thought, they also did believe that if the federal government would outlaw slavery that meant they might also infringe on other rights. Some Texans were slow to accept secession, however, or never accepted it. They did not simply react to the election of Lincoln and emulate South Carolina. Indeed, the timing of the secession of Texas and the motivation behind it are of continued interest because they open up a series of questions about the nature of the Texas economy, the population, political parties, local needs, the role of such Unionists as Sam Houston, and the effects of public pressure to conform. Regardless, a common thread running through all of these questions is the role of slavery. As I have mentioned in previous episodes, in the 1850s, there were many Texans who were absolutely convinced that the institution of slavery was not only important, but it was also vital to keep the Texas economy going. It had become such an important part of the Texas economy that in the 15 years after Texas became a state, by 1860 approximately 30 percent of the total population were slaves. However, slaves were not dispersed equally throughout the state. In fact, the vast majority of them were concentrated in and along the rivers in East Texas and along the Gulf Coast near Houston and Galveston. The primary reason for this was something we mentioned in an earlier episode, they had easier access to markets. That concentration of slaves in a narrow geographic region, while economically powerful, meant that other parts of Texas had economies that depended upon livestock,

If you've been a Christian for a while or grew up in the church, then the fact that Jesus became a man is no big deal to you. That's just Christianity 101. But that was actually a very big deal. As Pastor Mark explains in today's message, God becoming a man was something completely new for God that He had never done before. The Almighty Creator of the Universe stepped down from all of His infinite glory to become a man. Can you imagine what that must have felt like for Him? To feel hungry and tired, to get sick and weak, to feel pain. Jesus became a weak, humble man so that He could save you from your sins and give you eternal life. 

That God is almighty and creator may seem like givens. But even in the lives of wholehearted followers of Jesus—not to mention those who don't affirm these convictions—confidence in the truth of these statements can sometimes be eroded. What's at stake? Related misunderstandings, questions, and errors can keep you and others you care about from really trusting in the God who is the Father of the Lord Jesus Christ. But it doesn't have to be that way. The better you know God, the more you'll trust God, and your confidence in God as almighty creator can be stronger than ever!

The Lord recognizes how much we long to please Him and how grieved we feel when we mess up. He sees our ongoing struggle against sin and the wounded places in our souls that cause us to react in fear and self-protection. And while He's given us everything, in Christ and Scripture, to stand firm, whatever we face, He also understands how easily we become deceived.  SUBSCRIBE to our sister podcasts:Your Daily Prayer: https://www.lifeaudio.com/your-daily-prayer/Your Daily Bible Verse: https://www.lifeaudio.com/your-daily-bible-verse/ Full Transcript Below: God's Unchanging Heart for His Profoundly Imperfect People By Jennifer Slattery The Lord is compassionate and gracious,   slow to anger, abounding in love (Psalm 103:8, NIV). Many of us have heard people talk about the Lord's complete forgiveness and unconditional love but can expect Him to withhold both when we mess up. Most often, this stems from times in which others responded to our mistakes with some degree of emotional distance. I can relate. I struggled, for decades, to fully receive God's grace, and sometimes still do. Perhaps that's one of the reasons I find today's verse so beautiful.  Written by David, ancient Israel's second king, Psalm 103:8 reiterates the way God revealed Himself to a man named Moses around four hundred years prior. This occurred shortly after the Lord's newly liberated people rebelled against Him to worship idols. Following, God told Moses that He wouldn't accompany him and the Hebrews into the new land He'd promised them. But then He appeared to relent and in Exodus 33:15 stated, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.”  Perhaps confused, or simply wanting to experience more of the God with whom he'd already come to converse with as a friend (Ex. 33:11), Moses said, “Now show me your glory.” One could phrase this as, “Reveal the essence of who You are.” God did, declaring Himself compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in lovingkindness.  David likely knew how the Lord described Himself to Moses and how consistently He lived out those traits with the often faithless and rebellious Hebrew people. In today's verse, He praised God for those same qualities. While Scripture doesn't reveal David's circumstances when he wrote Psalm 103, we do know from other passages that He landed in numerous situations that plunged him into despair and overwhelming fear. We also know that God faithfully cared for, protected, and defended David throughout His life. And, the Lord showed David grace when he failed as a father, a king, and chief commander over the Israelite army.     In other words, David hadn't simply learned of the Lord's love, mercy and compassion from Scripture. He'd experienced those same traits when he'd desperately needed them. Likely reflecting on who God was and all He'd done, David began his prose with a praise that arose from his inmost being, the deepest and truest part of him. He then recounted numerous blessings God provided—forgiveness for even the worst of sins, emotional and physical healing, restoration of seemingly hopeless lives, provision, vitality, justice for the oppressed, and guidance for those who find themselves wandering about in desert places. In verse 4, we read that the God who “redeems [our] life from the pit” also “crowns [us] with love and compassion.” One might phrase this as, “He rescued us in our weakest and most helpless state and enveloped us in grace.” When the devil tries to bury me in toxic shame, I'm reminded that God's favor toward us stems from His goodness alone, and not from anything we have or haven't done.  Because while He is the Almighty Creator of all that exists and the One who holds all authority in His powerful hands, that wasn't how He most defined Himself to Moses, and therefore, to us. When we reflect upon who He is at His core, He doesn't want us to think of His anger. Instead, He wants us to recognize, intellectually and from personal experience, that He is first and foremost a God of unfathomable love and grace. Expanding on this, David then drew an analogy between the Lord and caring parents (Psalm 103:13). Our heavenly Father views us with more tenderness than an attentive mother with an over-tired two-year-old and a patient dad with an emotionally dysregulated middle schooler. Because, as verse 14 states, “he knows how we are formed, he remembers that we are dust” (NIV). In other words, He remains cognizant of our humanity.  The Lord recognizes how much we long to please Him and how grieved we feel when we mess up. He sees our ongoing struggle against sin and the wounded places in our souls that cause us to react in fear and self-protection. And while He's given us everything, in Christ and Scripture, to stand firm, whatever we face, He also understands how easily we become deceived.  He has compassion for who we truly are, in all our weaknesses and sins, and responds to our greatest failures with mercy and forgiveness, rather than anger and condemnation. Living in that reality helps us rise again when we fall, with our gaze fixed not on our past nor our shame but on the Savior who proved every word of today's verse true when He died on the cross to quite literally redeem our lives from the pit of hell (verse 4).         Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

Genesis 1:1 In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. 2 The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.3 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. 4 And God saw that the light was good. And God separated the light from the darkness.Support the Show.

Having described God's general revelation thru Creation (v1-6), Ps 19 transitions to God's special revelation thru His Word. Creation reveals God as EL, the Almighty Creator, whereas Scripture reveals God as YAHWEH, the God who brings His people into personal covenant relationship with Himself. Both revelations agree for God created His world by His Word. The written Word is more comprehensive, detailed, clearer & personal. Also, the fall means creation is under curse, so corrupted nature sends mixed signals, so people can misunderstand God's nature, when they see evil in the world. So, we need a clearer revelation of God - His written Word, which is perfect, without error, and extolled in v7-11. Psalm 19:7-9 lists 6 descriptions of God's Word (its nature), followed by 6 things it will accomplish in us if we receive it (its power). (1) “The LAW of the LORD is PERFECT (blameless, inerrant, complete & sufficient revelation of God and His will for our lives, 2Pet 1:3-4, 2Tim 3:16-17), converting (restoring, reviving, imparts new life to) the soul.” (2) “The TESTIMONY (His witness to Himself) of the LORD is SURE (dependable, reliable, firm, Ps 119:89), making wise the simple (imparting wisdom for life to the humble).” (3) “The STATUTES (precepts, instructions) of the LORD are RIGHT (morally right not crooked), rejoicing (imparting joy, peace, blessing & satisfaction to) the heart.” (4) “The COMMANDMENT (not suggestion) of the LORD is PURE (lit: 'radiant') enlightening the eyes (giving illumination for life).” (5) “The FEAR of the LORD (it reveals His majesty, authority & holiness, producing in us the fear of God - Deut 4:10), is CLEAN (free from impurity, making us clean, by imparting the fear of the Lord to us), enduring forever (enabling us to endure forever - 1Pet 1:23-25, 1John 2:17, our unshakable foundation for life).” (6) The JUDGMENTS (verdicts) of the LORD are true and righteous altogether (giving us reliable guidance for our life, to think & act right). In view of its origin, nature and beneficial transforming power, we should value & embrace it above all earthly things, for it is both (1) desirable & (2) enjoyable: “(1) More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold (Prov 3:13-18), (2) sweeter also than honey & the honeycomb (‘honey in the combs'- Prov 16:24)” (v10). It imparts (1) spiritual riches of great value, above all natural possessions, and (2) the sweet grace of God. Honey is pleasant to eat, but God's Word is sweeter still, for it reveals the beauty of the Lord. It provides experiences greater & deeper than the experiences of the senses & the enjoyment of natural things. How much we value it is important, for "where your treasure is, there your heart will be also" (Luke 12:34), and the measure of attention we give His Word determines the measure of blessing we receive (Mark 4:24). His Word can accomplish all the things in v7-10, as it is the Word 'of the LORD' (repeated x6), which reveals the Lord of the Word. Thru His Word we find, meet & know the Lord personally. We come into union with Him by faith, and thereby receive His life, wisdom, blessing, light, strength & cleansing (John 5:39-40). The Lord Himself imparts Himself to us thru His Word, and does great things in our lives. So, if you desire God, desire His Word, not just for its positive impartation of blessing (v10), but also because it reveals & warns us of our sin, bringing repentance & cleansing, for sin separates us from God & His life: “Moreover, by them (God's words) Your servant is warned (of folly, sin & dangers), and in keeping them there is great reward" (v11). God's purpose in revealing Himself to us thru His Word, is that we might come to know Him as our Redeemer & Rock (Strength). Therefore, the 3rd Part of Ps 19 describes our right response to His revelation (v12-14). His Word reveals His perfection and by contrast our sin. He also reveals Himself as our Redeemer from sin, and our Strength, to empower us to walk in righteousness (v14). Sin impedes our fellowship with God, so we must turn from sin, asking for His cleansing (v12,13), and surrender ourselves to God, for Him to fill us with His Spirit & strengthen us to do His will (v14). There are 2 kinds of sin (1) sins of ignorance & (2) deliberate sins. First, David prays about 2 kinds of sins of which he is unaware: “(1) Who can understand his errors? (2) Cleanse me from secret faults" (v12). Even though these are hidden to us, they still darken the soul. He asks God to (1) reveal his errors of thinking & (2) cleanse his sins committed in ignorance. He opens his heart to God's light inviting Him to cleanse him (1John 1:7). Then he prays about his deliberate sins, which must be confessed to God to restore fellowship (1John 1:9): "Keep back Your servant also from presumptuous sins (wilful sins); let them not have dominion over me (when we yield to our sin-nature, we become enslaved to that sin, so it becomes habitual, increasingly dominating u

Psalm 19 is another Messianic Psalm (in the middle of a cluster of Messianic Psalms). C.S. Lewis wrote: “This Psalm reflects, more than any other, the beauty and splendour of the Hebrew poetry found in the Psalter. I take this to be the greatest poem in the Psalter and one of the greatest lyrics in the world.'” It is an important source of the Doctrine of Revelation in the Bible. It is in 3 Parts: (1) God's General Revelation in Creation, a revelation of God's person, power and nature to all people (v1-6), (2) God's Special Revelation of Himself in His written Word (v7-11), and (3) God's purpose in revealing Himself to us and our right response to His Revelation (v12-14). In Part 1 the name of God used is EL - the Almighty Creator, and in Part 2, the name of God used is YAHWEH (x7), His personal Covenant Name, for it is His special revelation that is designed to bring us into a personal covenant relationship to Him. v1-6 describe God's Message in Creation, especially through the heavens: "The heavens declare the glory (splendour) of God; and the firmament (expanse) shows His handiwork (the work of His hands)" (v1). Creation is designed to be a revelation of God, His glory, wisdom, and creative greatness: “For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse” (Rom 1:20, see also Acts 14;17 and 17:22-28). It tells us: "He is glorious in His size, having created something so big. He is glorious in His engineering, having created something that works together so well. He is glorious in His artistry, having created something so beautiful. He is glorious in His goodness and kindness, having created something for all humanity to see." Creation reveals the unity of God (it is a universe, with universal laws, and all life has God's signature of DNA, showing it all has a common Designer) as well as the plurality of the Godhead (manifested through all the creative diversity in the world). God's general revelation is continuous and abundant: "Day unto day utters (pours forth) speech, and night unto night reveals knowledge." The image is of a gushing spring that copiously pours forth sweet, refreshing waters of revelation. In v1-6, the Psalmist talks about both the revelation by day and the revelation by night. By day, the sun shines upon the earth, so we can see His handiwork down below, especially life, which proves there must be an intelligent Designer. By night, we see the stars, which reveal His immensity and power, as well as proclaiming the Gospel. Moreover this general revelation is universal: "There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard. Their line (sound - LXX) has gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world" (v3-4a). The Bible also teaches God used the stars and constellations to preach the Gospel to ancient mankind (who looked at the stars much more than us), before God's written Word was available. We know this for in Romans 10, Paul quoted from Psalm 19, which describes God's revelation in the heavens, and applies it to the Gospel: “But they have not all obeyed the Gospel. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our report?” So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. But I say, have they not heard (the Gospel)? Yes indeed: “Their sound has gone out to all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world” (v16-18). So the Gospel is in the Stars. This is confirmed in Genesis 15, when Abraham was justified by faith: “Then He brought him outside and said: “Look now toward heaven, and count (tell, declare) the stars if you are able to number (tell, declare) them.” And He said to him: “So shall your descendants (SEED) be.” And he believed in the Lord, and He accounted it to him for righteousness” (v5-6). The word translated 'count' means 'to tell, to give an account'. In other words, God asked him to tell the story in the stars. It is the very same word that is translated 'declare' in Psalm 19:1. That is, he was to declare the message that the stars were declaring. This was the Gospel Message of the Messiah. When he did this, God confirmed (preached) the Gospel to him, by saying: "so shall your SEED (the Messiah) be" - that is, the Messiah is coming and will be the Seed of Abraham (see Gal 3:8). So, Abraham, our father of faith, was justified by faith, as we are, through believing the Gospel, not through believing God would give him many children - which is absurd! God had revealed the Gospel of the Coming Messiah to Adam and Eve (Gen 3:15,21), and taught them the need for sacrifices, which they then passed down to their descendants. He also designed the stars to be signs pointing to His truth (Gen 1:14), and He named the stars and revealed their names to man (Isa 40:26, Ps 147:4). He named and designed the constellations to reveal His truth (Job 26:13, 9:8-9, 38:31-33, Amos 5:6-8). David knew the

The image is of a gushing spring that copiously pours forth sweet, refreshing waters of revelation. In v1-6, the Psalmist talks about both the revelation by day and the revelation by night. By day, the sun shines upon the earth, so we can see His handiwork down below, especially life, which proves there must be an intelligent Designer. By night, we see the stars, which reveal His immensity and power, as well as proclaiming the Gospel. Moreover this general revelation is universal: "There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard. Their line (sound - LXX) has gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world" (v3-4a). The Bible also teaches God used the stars and constellations to preach the Gospel to ancient mankind (who looked at the stars much more than us), before God's written Word was available. We know this for in Romans 10, Paul quoted from Psalm 19, which describes God's revelation in the heavens, and applies it to the Gospel: “But they have not all obeyed the Gospel. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our report?” So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. But I say, have they not heard (the Gospel)? Yes indeed: “Their sound has gone out to all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world” (v16-18). So the Gospel is in the Stars. This is confirmed in Genesis 15, when Abraham was justified by faith: “Then He brought him outside and said: “Look now toward heaven, and count (tell, declare) the stars if you are able to number (tell, declare) them.” And He said to him: “So shall your descendants (SEED) be.” And he believed in the Lord, and He accounted it to him for righteousness” (v5-6). The word translated 'count' means 'to tell, to give an account'. In other words, God asked him to tell the story in the stars. It is the very same word that is translated 'declare' in Psalm 19:1. That is, he was to declare the message that the stars were declaring. This was the Gospel Message of the Messiah. When he did this, God confirmed (preached) the Gospel to him, by saying: "so shall your SEED (the Messiah) be" - that is, the Messiah is coming and will be the Seed of Abraham (see Gal 3:8). So, Abraham, our father of faith, was justified by faith, as we are, through believing the Gospel, not through believing God would give him many children - which is absurd! God had revealed the Gospel of the Coming Messiah to Adam and Eve (Gen 3:15,21), and taught them the need for sacrifices, which they then passed down to their descendants. He also designed the stars to be signs pointing to His truth (Gen 1:14), and He named the stars and revealed their names to man (Isa 40:26, Ps 147:4). He named and designed the constellations to reveal His truth (Job 26:13, 9:8-9, 38:31-33, Amos 5:6-8). David knew the

Costa Rica and the Netherlands are highlighted today in our random globe trot. Once again, we are humbled, thankful, and amazed at what the Lord has done. Thank you, Costa Rica and the Netherlands, for being part of the Free Range Preacher on Prayer family. We had the desire today to put some skin on our tagline, we haven't reviewed what we mean by a growing, Biblical, dynamic, sincere, soul-satisfying, and God glorifying prayer life, so here we go. The real meat of our tagline is centered on what the Bible has to say about true community with the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Growing: Matthew 11:28-30 "Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. 29 "Take My yoke upon you, and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart; and YOU SHALL FIND REST FOR YOUR SOULS. 30 "For My yoke is easy, and My load is light." 1 Peter 2:1, 1 John 2:25, Hebrews 5 Biblical: Worship, Repentance, Gratitude, Intercession, and Supplication. Dynamic: Our natural two-way conversation. Psalm 16:6 is heart-wrenching, Psalm 119:132 is comical, Psalm 48:15 is hopeful, and 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 comforting. Sincere: Psalm 62:8 "Trust in Him at all times, O people; Pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us. Selah." Soul-satisfying: John 17:3 But I have trusted in Thy lovingkindness; My heart shall rejoice in Thy salvation. 6 I will sing to the LORD, Because He has dealt bountifully with me. Psalm 13:5-6 God-glorifying: "Whether, then, you eat or drink or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God." 1 Corinthians 10:1 Our So What? True, abundant life comes through our genuine relationship with the Almighty Creator, Redeemer, and Teacher.

April 26, 2024 Today's Reading: The Lord's Prayer - Second PetitionDaily Lectionary: Leviticus 18:1-7, 20-19:8; Luke 11:1-13Thy Kingdom Come. What does this mean? The kingdom of God certainly comes by itself without our prayer, but we pray in this petition that it may come to us also. (The Lord's Prayer, the Second Petition, Small Catechism)In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. Where is God's kingdom today? We are assured that God's kingdom comes without our prayer, but where can we see it? How do we know he's with us, or that we are even a part of His kingdom?Some want to see a theocracy on earth, where everyone is under a “Christian” ruler who makes sure God's work and will are done everywhere on earth through legislative and social means. The problem is that God never promised to work that way in our world. Even the Old Testament kings were only there to get God's people to the place where the Messiah would come. Certainly, on the Last Day, God will come in great power and glory and we will all live under Him in his eternal kingdom forever, but what about now?Now, we look for where God Himself promises to be. Where God says He will come to us and grant us His Gifts. God is present everywhere, for He is God; He fills all of creation as the Almighty Creator. But if you want to meet Him directly, or at least as directly as a sinner can meet the holy and righteous God, you go where He promises that you will see and hear Him. In His Word, in the Divine Service, in His Sacraments.We call this God's ‘Kingdom of Grace.' It is where He promises to hide His indescribable glory behind simple earthly things so that we are able to receive from His hand all of His Gifts without fear of being slain by His glory.Remember when Isaiah saw God in His glory in the temple and thought He was a dead man (Isaiah 6)? You never have to be afraid of that. Jesus has already come to you, washed you in his blood, raised you from your death, and made you a new creation by His death and resurrection. God's gracious kingdom is open to you whenever you gather before His altar. Rejoice that you have such open and free access to the Lord of Creation, for He is always there, ready to give you His Gifts of forgiveness, life, and salvation freely for Jesus' sake. In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.Your kingdom come. Guard Your domain And Your eternal righteous reign. The Holy Ghost enrich our day With gifts attendant on our way. Break Satan's pow'r, defeat his rage; Preserve Your Church from age to age.  (LSB 766:3)- Pastor Duane Bamsch is the pastor at Grace Lutheran Church in Grass Valley, CA.Audio Reflections Speaker: Pastor Jonathan Lackey is the pastor at Grace Lutheran Church, Vine Grove, Ky.A Complete Guide to Christian Symbols This collection of over 600 hand-drawn Christian symbols by artist and author Edward Riojas will teach you the extensive history of the imagery of the Church.

The LORD makes it plain that He alone has created and sustains all things. No one showed Him how to do His work. The nations are nothing before the LORD, and idols are human creations that have no power to move. The LORD alone rules over all creation and over all human empires; no one can compare to Him. Therefore, His people must not think that He is unaware of their way. He is the everlasting God who uses His almighty power in order to strengthen His people in their weakness. Through trust in Him, He strengthens them to endure. Rev. James Preus, pastor at Trinity Lutheran Church in Ottumwa, IA, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study Isaiah 40:12-31. "The Fifth Evangelist” is a series on Sharper Iron that goes through Isaiah 40-66. Though Isaiah lived one hundred years beforehand, he writes to the people of God in exile in Babylon to assure them that their God reigns and will rescue them through the work of His servant. These promises are fulfilled in Jesus Christ, whose work Isaiah proclaims vividly seven hundred years beforehand.

WHY WE BELIEVE WHAT WE BELIEVE. What you believe matters because belief determines behavior. God is our Almighty Creator and our Almighty Father. We are attached to something way bigger than ourselves. There is actually a very specific way to believe in God and follow Jesus. www.localcity.church
