Summary DeMarcus revisits a presentation he first offered the community a couple of years ago, walking through what the Ra Contact and the Q'uo channelings tell us about the worlds that share our sun. Four planets in this system have hosted third-density life; two hold life now; one more may yet. The through-line is a single sub-Logos making a set of formative choices — the bipedal ape form, the opposable thumb, twenty-two archetypes — and then living with the consequences across billions of years. Venus produced the most harmonious third density known in this system and still harvested less than a fifth of its population. Maldek destroyed itself and collapsed into a knot of fear no one escaped. Mars poisoned its own water cycle and was rescued by a Guardian whose love outran its understanding. Earth inherits all three histories at once. The session closes with discussion of harvest mechanics, the sinkhole of indifference, dual-activated bodies, and why the planet is currently venting heat through weather and geology. Topics Covered The sub-Logos's choice of the grasping hand, and Ra's own speculation about why Venus: the golden ones, the tarot, and the two wanderers who flipped polarity Maldek: 705,000 years ago, the knot of fear, and karmic alleviation through second-density bodies Mars: ecological collapse, the water cycle, and the Yahweh transfer Yahweh as Guardian: genetic intervention, the Anak, and the Orion co-optation of the name Earth as mixing pot: sixteen planetary origins and the incoherence of our catalyst Harvest: 51%, 95%, the sinkhole of indifference, and the stairway of light Dual-activated bodies and the pioneers of Earth's fourth density Planetary adjustment: unusable heat and ruptures in the outer garment Uranus and Saturn: the beginning and the watchpost Key Ra References (verified) Topic Session Ra's Venusian origin; golden integument 6.4 Venus third density inhospitable; fifth and sixth conducive to learning 6.6 Council located in the octave of Saturn, in the rings 6.8 Council of nine in constant session; twenty-four Guardians 7.9 Maldek entities in deep passageways, known as Bigfoot 9.18 Three types of Bigfoot 9.22 Earth population as Martian complexes plus genetical adjustments by Guardians 9.7 Maldek: Atlantis parallel, 705,000 years, the knot of fear 10.1 Karmic alleviation via second-dimensional physical chemical complexes 10.3 None escaped the knot 10.7 Harvest approximation for this cycle 17.29 51% service to others for positive harvest 17.31 5%/95% for negative harvest 17.32 The sinkhole of indifference 17.33 Planetary adjustment; unusable heat; ruptures in the outer garment 17.1 Yahweh group and Mars, 75,000 years ago, the cloning process; the Anak 18.20 The Anak experiment as a decided failure; elitism 18.21 Lifespan of approximately 900 years at cycle opening 20.12 Population breakdown: half Martian, quarter Terran, quarter other 20.20 Alternate Maldek timeline (500,000 / 200,000 / 46,000) 21.5 The Confederation "became concerned" after the second cycle 22.16 Orion impressing the name Yahweh as source of elitism 24.6 Venus, Mars, Saturn, Uranus — metaphysical descriptions 30.14 Transition period of 100 to 700 years 40.8 Dual-activated bodies; the double body in activation 63.13–63.16 Number of harvested third-density entities incarnate here 63.12 Stairway of light; the threshold between densities 82.29 Tarot originated on Venus; the archetypal work 88.13–88.14 Ra's third density concluding as Earth's second density began 89.9 Venus's current core vibration 89.12 Ra's harvest figures 89.28 "A harshly bright planet" 89.29 The two wanderers: origin, method, polarity reversal 89.31–89.43 The opposable thumb and the intensification of the veil 90.12 Warfare traced to the grasping thumb 90.18 Three major and thirteen minor planetary influences 91.13 Q'uo / Confederation material referenced (outside the Ra corpus, held more loosely): the intentionality behind Maldek's destruction; the disruption of the Martian water cycle and the fading of the planet's soul; the reincarnation of Maldekian entities into twentieth-century nuclear work; the Earth's decision to release heat through natural events rather than a pole shift. Note on Timelines Sessions 10.1 and 21.5 give different dates for the Maldek sequence. Ra repeatedly acknowledged difficulty with our time measurements and issued corrections during the contact. The presentation follows 10.1. Listeners comparing the two should expect the discrepancy. Notable Exchanges A member new to the Law of One asks for a plain explanation of harvest, prompting a walk through the seven densities and the mechanics of graduation. A member asks whether the unharvestable are self-serving or simply unaware, and DeMarcus grounds the answer in intention: most people will never encounter this material and do not need to. A member offers the image of an electric stove element — resistance producing heat, copper conducting without it — as a picture of what increasing love and light do to whatever in us remains unconductive. DeMarcus identifies this as precisely the planetary process. A member asks for clarification on whether the entity at Sinai was Yahweh or an impostor, which opens toward a future presentation on the Yahweh material.

Hai Wonder Kids, kembali dalam renungan anak GKY Mangga Besar. Judul renungan hari ini adalah Profil yang CocokDiambil dari: Yohanes 14:7–8“Sekiranya kamu mengenal Aku, pasti kamu juga mengenal Bapa-Ku. Sekarang ini kamu mengenal Dia dan kamu telah melihat Dia.” Kata Filipus kepada-Nya: “Tuhan, tunjukkanlah Bapa itu kepada kami, itu sudah cukup bagi kami.”Wonder Kids, selama beberapa waktu ini kita sudah belajar banyak tentang siapa Yesus. Kita sudah melihat bahwa sifat-sifat Allah juga terlihat pada Yesus. Misalnya, Yesus tahu segala sesuatu, Yesus selalu menyertai umat-Nya, Yesus punya segala kuasa, Yesus tidak berubah, dan Yesus sudah ada sejak semula. Wah, makin lama makin jelas ya siapa Yesus itu sebenarnya.Di Perjanjian Lama, Allah disebut dengan banyak nama dan gelar yang mulia. Allah adalah Pencipta, Penebus, Raja, Hakim, Terang, Gembala, dan Juruselamat. Nah, yang menarik, gelar-gelar seperti itu juga dipakai untuk Yesus di Perjanjian Baru. Itu menunjukkan bahwa Yesus bukan sekadar orang baik atau guru yang luar biasa. Yesus sungguh cocok dengan “profil” Allah yang dinyatakan dalam firman Tuhan.Karena itu, saat Filipus berkata, “Tunjukkanlah Bapa itu kepada kami,” Yesus menjawab bahwa siapa yang sudah melihat Dia, sebenarnya sudah melihat Bapa. Tentu Yesus bukan sedang berkata bahwa Bapa dan Anak adalah Pribadi yang sama. Tetapi Yesus sedang menunjukkan bahwa Dia menyatakan Allah dengan sempurna. Kalau kita mau tahu seperti apa Allah itu, kita harus melihat kepada Yesus.Ini penting sekali, Wonder Kids. Kadang-kadang orang berkata ingin mengenal Tuhan, tetapi tidak sungguh mau datang kepada Yesus. Padahal Yesus adalah jalan untuk mengenal Bapa. Kita tidak bisa punya gambaran yang benar tentang Allah kalau kita menolak Yesus. Justru melalui Yesus, kita melihat kasih Allah, kekudusan Allah, kuasa Allah, dan keselamatan Allah.Jadi, semakin kita mengenal Yesus, semakin kita mengenal Allah. Dan semakin kita melihat bahwa semua bukti itu cocok, semakin kita punya alasan yang kuat untuk percaya bahwa Yesus sungguh adalah Anak Allah dan Tuhan yang sejati.Wonder Kids, hari ini lakukan ini: Pikirkan satu hal yang paling kamu kagumi dari Yesus. Lalu katakan kepada Tuhan, “Terima kasih, Tuhan Yesus, karena melalui Engkau aku boleh mengenal Allah.”Mari kita berdoa: Tuhan Yesus, terima kasih karena Engkau menyatakan Bapa kepadaku. Terima kasih karena melalui Engkau aku bisa mengenal siapa Allah itu. Tolong aku supaya makin mengasihi-Mu, makin percaya kepada-Mu, dan makin melihat bahwa Engkau sungguh Tuhan yang sejati. Dalam nama Tuhan Yesus aku berdoa, Amin.Wonder Kids, ingatlah: kalau kamu ingin mengenal Allah dengan benar, lihatlah kepada Yesus, karena Dia menyatakan Bapa dengan sempurna. Tuhan Yesus memberkati

Dibawakan oleh Cathy Devina Siregar dan Rahel Septria dari Paroki Santo Yohanes Pemandi di Keuskupan Banjarmasin, Indonesia. Yeremia 26: 11-16.24; Mazmur tg 69: 15-16.30-31.33-34; Matius 14: 1-12MATI DEMI KEBENARAN         Tema renungan kita pada hari ini ialah: Mati Demi Kebenaran. Di gerbangsebuah kota, ada patung terkenal yang bernama "Anak di Pundak Ibu"untuk memberi makna kota tersebut. Pada zaman dahulu kota itu dibela olehseorang pemuda yang memimpin segenap masyarakat untuk melawan para musuh yangingin menduduki kota. Meskipun kota ini berhasil dipertahankan, tetapi pemudaini mati terbunuh dalam perang. Ibunya sendiri yang menaruh putranya di pundak,memikulnya dan membawa ke tengah kota untuk dihormati oleh semua orang. Bunda Maria melahirkan, membesarkan, sampai menyaksikan sendiri putranyaYesus Kristus dihukum mati lalu meniduri jenasah Yesus di pangkuannya (la pieta dari Michaelangelo). Mariamenyaksikan langsung Anak Domba Allah yang dikorbankan karena mempertahankankebenaran dari pihak-pihak yang anti kebenaran. Keponakan Maria, YohanesPembaptis, juga lebih dahulu rela untuk dibunuh oleh penguasa jahat demi menegakkankebenaran. Menyusul Yesus dan Yohanes Pembaptis ialah banyak pria dan wanitasepanjang zaman telah rela mengorbankan nyawanya karena mempertahankankebenaran yang berasal dari Tuhan. Para pahlawan adalah orang-orang yang matidemi kebenaran. Lalu pertanyaannya: apakah kebenaran itu harus dibayar dengan kematian?Jawaban paling pertama ialah bahwa pihak yang melawan kebenaran yaituorang-orang jahat berpotensi sangat kuat di dunia ini, yang tujuannya ialahmenghilangkan kebenaran dan segala yang baik. Salah satu targetnya yang utamaialah membinasakan orang-orang yang berjuang dalam kebenaran, yangmempertahankan kebenaran dan yang menghidupi kebenaran.  Jawaban lain, jika memang tidak ada penentang berpotensi kuat bahkan pihakyang melawan kebenaran itu sangat lemah, kebenaran itu masih harusdipertahankan di dunia ini. Ancaman penumpahan darah tidak relevan. Ancamannyalebih rohani, sebenarnya sebagai tantangan untuk menghidupi kebenaran itu,memberikan kesaksian dan membuat banyak orang lain hidup di dalam kebenaranjuga. Di sini orang perlu mematikan kemalasan, kebosanan, masa bodoh, egois,lupa dan kekurangan-kekurangan pribadi lainnya. Kebenaran itu pada prinsipnya ialah sesuai kenyataan atau fakta. Maka iaberlawanan dengan bukan nyata atau bukan fakta. Kebenaran juga sesuai aturan,norma, moral; maka berlawanan dengan pelanggaran aturan. Kebenaran itu ialahmelakukan kehendak dan perintah Allah; maka berlawanan dengan kehendak bukandari Tuhan. Jadi marilah kita pertahankan kebenaran kita, bahkan sampai kita mati. Marilah kita berdoa.Dalam nama Bapa... Tuhan yang maha kuasa, semoga usaha-usaha kami untukmempertahankan kebenaran dan memberikan kesaksian tentang itu kepada setiaporang di sekitar kami, dapat selalu berkenan kepada-Mu. Salam Maria, penuhrahmat ... Dalam nama Bapa ...

Doug offers a speculation built from the Ra Material, Christian mysticism, and process philosophy: that concrescence — Whitehead's “the many become one, and are increased by one” — operates vertically across orders of magnitude, and that the Christ event was a oneing of the solar Logos with the sub-sub-Logoic level, which is us. The argument moves through two logjams. The first came before the veil, when third-density beings remembered they were the Creator and evolution crawled at turtle speed; the veil broke it and made third density the axis on which creation turns. The second is here, now, on Terra — a planet of third-density repeaters enmeshed in the Great BASH, the collective thought form built from our inefficient use of bellicosity, showing up energetically as an orange-ray overlay on a green-ray planet. Doug argues that Yahweh is our solar Logos, learning to parent through Venus, Maldek, and Mars, limited by Ra's teaching that a sub-Logos can only supply catalyst to the first triad of energy centers. Once the heart opens, the teaching runs the other way. What follows is the co-presencing of Logos and messenger in one body, the ankh as the shape of loss and renewal, and forgiveness planted as a seed inside the eye of the Great BASH. Discussion follows on whether a God who cannot participate in green ray is still God. Key References:   •Ra 82.18–82.19 — pre-veil third density; “turtle to the cheetah”; the absence of gusto, élan vital •Ra 41.14 — green-ray pressure producing orange-ray manifestation •Ra 9.7 — Martian transfer; “a careful series of genetical adjustments” •Ra 18.20–18.21 — the Anak; the elite-consciousness failure •Ra 54.17 — the sub-Logos offers catalyst only at the first triad •Ra 65.16 — Logos to Logos, Creator to Creator, not parent to child •Ra 17.11–17.12 — Jesus as a wanderer of no name, highest sub-octave of fourth density •Ra 17.20 — forgiveness as the stoppage of the wheel of karma •Ra 17.22 — “not an entity of itself but… a messenger of the One Creator” •Ra 18.12 — forgiveness of other-self is forgiveness of self •Ra 93.24, 94.26 — the crux ansata; all things offering themselves for transformation •Alfred North Whitehead, Process and Reality — concrescence •Richard Rohr, The Universal Christ — “God loves things by becoming them” •Perichoresis (the Greek fathers); the Chalcedonian formula

Tidak semua luka pada anak terlihat. Ada luka yang tidak meninggalkan bekas di kulit, tetapi membekas dalam cara anak berpikir, merasa, dan membangun hubungan ketika dewasa. Anak belajar tentang kasih sayang, rasa aman, dan cara berelasi pertama kali dari rumah. Karena itu, hubungan yang penuh bentakan, hinaan, ancaman, atau kekerasan dapat meninggalkan luka batin yang bertahan lama.

Kencan Dengan Tuhan - Sabtu, 25 Juli 2026Bacaan: “Mengucap syukurlah dalam segala hal, sebab itulah yang dikehendaki Allah di dalam Kristus Yesus bagi kamu.” (1 Tesalonika 5:18)Renungan: Keluarga Pak Budi baru aja kena musibah. Usaha kecilnya bangkrut saat menjelang Natal. Tabungan habis untuk membayar utang. Malam itu di meja makan suasananya hening. Anak sulungnya berkata, “Pa, kita masih bisa makan nasi sama telur. Berarti Tuhan masih pelihara kita ya.” Istri Pak Budi menyambung, “Iya. Listrik masih menyala. Rumah masih ada. Kita masih lengkap 4 orang di sini.” Mereka tidak pura-pura bahagia. Tapi malam itu mereka memutuskan untuk berdoa dan mengucap syukur dahulu, sebelum memikirkan jalan keluarnya. Tiga bulan kemudian, pelan-pelan ada pintu berkat baru terbuka. Paulus menulis ayat ini kepada jemaat yang sedang tertekan. Dia tidak berkata, "Bersyukur kalau segala hal baik". Tetapi "bersyukur dalam segala hal". Ada 2 pesa penting dari bacaan tersebut. Pertama, “Mengucap syukurlah dalam segala hal”. Dalam segala hal itu artinya baik suka maupun duka, sehat maupun sakit, berkecukupan maupun berkekurangan. Bersyukur bukan karena situasinya baik-baik saja, tetapi karena Tuhan kita tetap baik. Kedua, “Sebab itulah yang dikehendaki Allah”. Ini bukan saran, tetapi ini adalah kehendak Tuhan. Waktu kita bersyukur, kita sedang taat. Dan ketaatan akan membuka pintu berkat baru dan damai Tuhan. Bersyukur itu bukan menyangkal masalah. Bersyukur itu memilih fokus kepada Tuhan yang memegang masalah itu. Kita gampang bersyukur kalau gaji naik, anak lulus, badan sehat. Tapi bagaimana kalau dalam kerjaan bos tidak menyenangkan, target tidak tercapai, di-PHK? Yang terjadi adalah kita akan gampang mengeluh dan menyalahkan. Bagaimana jika dalam keluarga anak susah diatur, pasangan cuek, orang tua sakit? Rasanya capai dan tidak dihargai. Bagaimana juga di dalam iman? Doa udah lama tidak dijawab. Melihat orang lain diberkati, kita pun bertanya, "Tuhan, Engkau di mana?". 1 Tesalonika 5:18 mengajak kita memasang "kacamata bersyukur" tiap hari. Bukan bersyukur karena masalahnya, tapi bersyukur bahwa di tengah masalah Tuhan masih ada, Tuhan masih mengasihi, Tuhan masih bekerja. Tuhan Yesus memberkati. Doa:Tuhan Yesus, ampunilah aku kalau sering mengeluh dan lupa bersyukur. Hari ini aku mau taat pada firman-Mu. Aku mengucap syukur dalam segala hal, karena Engkau tetap baik. Ajarilah aku melihat kebaikan-Mu bahkan di tengah kesulitan dan isi hatiku dengan ucapan syukur. Amin. (Dod).

We're so glad you are here! Thanks for checking out Sunday's message!-- SUNDAY'S NOTES --We are called to conquer, not coexist, with anything that opposes God's will and His Kingdom.Any foe you don't fight and finish may one day finish you.Joshua was now old, advanced in age, and the LORD said to him, “You have become old, advanced in age, but a great deal of the land remains to be possessed.” Joshua 13:1 CSB Sunday's victories mean little if they don't lead to possessing new spiritual territory in our everyday lives. I myself will drive them out before the People of Israel. All you have to do is allot this land to Israel as an inheritance, as I have instructed you. Joshua 13:6 MSG A delegation from the tribe of Judah, led by Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, came to Joshua at Gilgal. Caleb said to Joshua, “Remember what the LORD said to Moses, the man of God, about you and me when we were at Kadesh-barnea. Joshua 14:6 NLT What do you do, what kind of faith do you have, when you are at a personal Kadesh-Barnea?None of the people who have seen my glory and the signs that I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and yet have tested me these ten times and have not obeyed my voice, shall see the land that I swore to give to their ancestors; none of those who despised me shall see it. But my servant Caleb, because he has a different spirit and has followed me wholeheartedly, I will bring into the land into which he went, and his descendants shall possess it. Numbers 14:24 NRSVThe closer you are to the Promise Keeper, the greater your faith to believe and possess His promises.I was forty years old when Moses, the servant of the LORD, sent me from Kadesh-barnea to explore the land of Canaan. I returned and gave an honest report, but my brothers who went with me frightened the people from entering the Promised Land. For my part, I wholeheartedly followed the LORD my God. So that day Moses solemnly promised me, ‘The land of Canaan on which you were just walking will be your grant of land and that of your descendants forever, because you wholeheartedly followed the LORD my God.' Joshua 14:7-9 NLTWholehearted, faith-filled following is the only way to walk into and posses the Promise Land God has for you.Now, as you can see, the LORD has kept me alive and well as he promised for all these forty-five years since Moses made this promise, even while Israel wandered in the wilderness. Today I am eighty-five years old. I am as strong now as I was when Moses sent me on that journey, and I can still travel and fight as well as I could then. Joshua 14:10-11 NLTFaithfully follow and work while you wait, and you'll discover the real reward was in following Jesus all along.Now give me this hill country that the LORD promised me that day. You yourself heard then that the Anakites were there and their cities were large and fortified, but, the LORD helping me, I will drive them out just as he said.” Joshua 14:12 NIVFaith doesn't minimize but rather right-sizes the enemy in comparison to God and the power of His promise. So Joshua blessed Caleb son of Jephunneh and gave Hebron to him as his portion of land. Hebron still belongs to the descendants of Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite because he wholeheartedly followed the LORD, the God of Israel. (Previously Hebron had been called Kiriath-arba. It had been named after Arba, a great hero of the descendants of Anak.) And the land had rest from war. Joshua 14:13-15 NLTCaleb drove out from there the three sons of Anak: Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai. Joshua 15:14 CSB There is no giant capable of keeping you from experiencing God's goodness and favor in your life. -------------------------------------------------Download the 828 Church app!To view our latest e-newsletter, the Midweek Momentum, and subscribe to our weekly updates, go here! https://linktr.ee/828church

A @Christadelphians Video: **YouTube Summary/Description**In this thought-provoking and wonderfully expositional study, Bible student Roger Lewis joins us to uncover the remarkable account of Achsah – Caleb's daughter. Why did she ask for a field? And what does her bold faith reveal about our own spiritual journey? Set against the backdrop of Judges chapter 1 – a chapter defined by Israel's failure to drive out the Canaanites – Achsah shines as an outstanding example of wholehearted devotion. Through careful, verse‑by‑verse analysis, we discover how Caleb's test for a suitor, Othniel's victory, and Achsah's determined request for “upper and nether springs” point to profound lessons about our promised inheritance. This is an insightful and revealing study that will challenge and inspire you to seek God's blessings with the same fearless, solution‑focused spirit.**Chapters**00:00 – Introduction & Setting the Context 04:00 – Why Ask Questions?

This recording is a condensed version of the sermon preached at the Land Dedication Service of Immanuel Evangelical Lutheran Church in Mankato, Minnesota at Reserve Park on July 12, 2026. You can watch the full recording on our YouTube Channel.   Sermon Text: Numbers 13:17-33 (NKJV) Then Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said to them, “Go up this way into the South, and go up to the mountains, 18 “and see what the land is like: whether the people who dwell in it are strong or weak, few or many; 19 “whether the land they dwell in is good or bad; whether the cities they inhabit are like camps or strongholds; 20 “whether the land is rich or poor; and whether there are forests there or not. Be of good courage. And bring some of the fruit of the land.” Now the time was the season of the first ripe grapes. 21 So they went up and spied out the land from the Wilderness of Zin as far as Rehob, near the entrance of Hamath. 22 And they went up through the South and came to Hebron; Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the descendants of Anak, were there. (Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.) 23 Then they came to the Valley of Eshcol, and there cut down a branch with one cluster of grapes; they carried it between two of them on a pole. They also brought some of the pomegranates and figs. 24 The place was called the Valley of Eshcol, because of the cluster which the men of Israel cut down there. 25 And they returned from spying out the land after forty days. 26 Now they departed and came back to Moses and Aaron and all the congregation of the children of Israel in the Wilderness of Paran, at Kadesh; they brought back word to them and to all the congregation, and showed them the fruit of the land. 27 Then they told him, and said: “We went to the land where you sent us. It truly flows with milk and honey, and this is its fruit. 28 “Nevertheless the people who dwell in the land are strong; the cities are fortified and very large; moreover we saw the descendants of Anak there. 29 “The Amalekites dwell in the land of the South; the Hittites, the Jebusites, and the Amorites dwell in the mountains; and the Canaanites dwell by the sea and along the banks of the Jordan.” 30 Then Caleb quieted the people before Moses, and said, “Let us go up at once and take possession, for we are well able to overcome it.” 31 But the men who had gone up with him said, “We are not able to go up against the people, for they are stronger than we.” 32 And they gave the children of Israel a bad report of the land which they had spied out, saying, “The land through which we have gone as spies is a land that devours its inhabitants, and all the people whom we saw in it are men of great stature. 33 “There we saw the giants (the descendants of Anak came from the giants); and we were like grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were in their sight.”   Theme: This Land Is God's Land

Kencan Dengan Tuhan - Selasa, 14 Juli 2026Bacaan: "Hai anak-anak, taatilah orang tuamu di dalam Tuhan, karena haruslah demikian." (Efesus 6:1)Renungan: Dimas adalah murid kelas 4 SD. Suatu hari gurunya memberi tugas membuat video tentang "Tokoh Panutanku". Teman-temannya memih pemain bola, youtuber, artis dll. Ketika tiba giliran Dimas presentasi, dia maju sambil membawa foto. "Itu siapa?" tanya temannya. "Itu Bapakku," jawab Dimas. "Setiap pagi Bapak bangun jam 5 buat antar aku sekolah. Kalau aku sakit, Bapak begadang menjaga aku. Kalau aku nakal, Bapak tetap doain aku." Teman-temannya terdiam. Ada yang ketawa kecil. Tapi Bu Guru bilang, "Itu pahlawan yang paling hebat, Dim." Malamnya Dimas cerita ke Bapaknya. Bapaknya memeluk Dimas sambil berkata, "Nak, Bapak juga belajar jadi orang tua yang baik dari Tuhan." Sejak itu Dimas menjadi anak yang lebih taat. Kalau disuruh belajar, dia tidak menjawab "nanti". Kalau disuruh membantu mencuci piring, dia langsung melakukannya. Taatilah orang tuamu di dalam Tuhan artinya mendengar dan melakukan apa yang orang tua minta, selama itu tidak bertentangan dengan kehendak Tuhan. Mengapa? Karena "haruslah demikian". Tuhan memberikan orang tua sebagai wakil-Nya di dalam keluarga. Melalui mereka Tuhan memberi kita makan, sekolah, nasihat, dan doa. Taat bukan karena takut dimarahi tapi karena kita mengasihi Tuhan. Anak zaman sekarang terlalu pandai. Mereka bisa buka HP sendiri dan bisa mencari jawaban di Google. Tapi kadang karena "merasa lebih tahu", mereka jadi sering meremehkan orang tua. Mereka susah mendengarkan nasihat orang tua. Kalau orang tua bicara, mereka menjawab "Tau... Tau..." tapi sambil main HP. Mereka juga suka membantah. Disuruh belajar jawabnya, "Ah ntar", disuruh beresin kamar jawabnya, "Ribet". Mereka juga kurang menghargai orang tua. Lupa mengucapkan terima kasih untuk makanan, baju, uang sekolah dll. Taat itu bukan berarti jadi anak penakut. Taat itu berarti jadi anak yang pintar, karena tahu siapa yang Tuhan pakai untuk menjaganya. Tuhan Yesus memberkati. Doa:Tuhan Yesus, terima kasih untuk Papa dan Mama yang Engkau berikan kepadaku. Ampuni aku kalau sering membantah dan membuat mereka sedih. Ajarilah aku menjadi anak yang taat, seperti Yesus yang juga taat kepada Maria dan Yusuf. Amin. (Dod).

Title: Bizarre Brides and Bad Beings (Part 2)Scripture Reading: Genesis 6:1-4Series: Bizarre BibleThis is part 2 of a message on Genesis 6:1-4, where we continue exploring the W.E.I.R.D. aspects of spiritual beings and humanity. Today we cover Warped Wife-Wooing (spiritual beings mating with humans) and Earth's Expiration (the flood as a consequence of both human and spiritual sin). It unveils the Inhuman Invaders (Nephilim) as offspring, emphasizes the Reality of the Realms (unseen spiritual warfare), and ultimately points to Defeated Demons through Jesus's sovereignty. Embrace the reality of spiritual warfare, find comfort in God's persistent grace, and remember that Jesus has already secured victory over all spiritual oppression.

Introduction: I Will Doubt... (Numbers 13:1-14:38) If I Am Paralyzed by MY CIRCUMSTANCES . (Num 13:25-33) If I Choose the Comfort of MY PAST . (Num 14:1-4) Romans 6:20-21 - For when you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness. But what fruit were you getting at that time from the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death. If I Tune Out GODLY COUNSEL . (Num 14:5-10a) James 1:22-25 - But be doers of the Word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. For if anyone is a hearer of the Word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks intently at his natural face in a mirror. For he looks at himself and goes away and at once forgets what he was like. But the one who looks into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and perseveres, being no hearer who forgets but a doer who acts, he will be blessed in his doing. If I Follow the CROWD .

For Our Example: Ancient Warnings for the Church Today - Do Not Be Doubters Taylor Brown Download Audio Transcript 00:48Well, please turn your Bibles to Numbers chapter 13. Numbers chapter 13.00:55Now, as you turn there, I have a question for you. Have you ever been sent on a spy mission?01:02Really, nobody. I was sent on a spy mission in college. Do you want to hear about it?01:09All right, so in college, I worked for a pet sitting service. I would walk dogs, feed cats, and stay at people's houses while they were on vacation. And one day, my boss asked me to come into her office, and she sat me down for story time. Apparently, she had a client who was a local celebrity, who I won't name here, but this guy was having romantic troubles, to say the least. He and his girlfriend couldn't even be in the same room as each other anymore. And so he asked her to move out and take her stuff with her.01:45And I thought to myself, okay. Interesting, but what does this have to do with me? My boss told me, well, our client doesn't want to go to the house to see if his girlfriend has left or not. He wants one of us to do it. He's going to pay us to do it. And you're the only guy on my payroll, and I don't want to ask the women to do it. Don't worry, you're not breaking and entering. We have his garage code. We have his permission. I know this is a lot to ask, but I'll pay After a lot of reassurance, I would not be arrested or stabbed.02:20I drove over to this guy's house, and I sat on his street for a while.02:25Just like, what am I doing?02:27And there was no car in the driveway.02:30So I eventually get the courage to get out of my car, walk up the driveway.02:34I peek into the garage.02:35It's empty.02:38Type in the garage code.02:40Slip in.02:41And I just keep yelling out, hello, hello.02:44Don't worry.02:45I'm not a burglar. Your boyfriend sent me over. I don't know if that would have really been helpful. Or not. I don't really know. It's what I said. I was really nervous. I wasn't getting sneak attacked or pepper sprayed. But it became very clear that the woman was not there. But here's the problem. All of her stuff was still there. So I had to go back to my boss and our client with a bad report. The woman is gone, but her stuff ain't.03:15I knew that my boss and my client would not be very happy with this bad report from my spy mission. This morning we are studying a biblical spy mission. Twelve Israelite spies are sent on an important assignment and most of the spies come back with a report that won't make Moses or God himself very happy. In my case, I simply reported what I saw all those years ago.03:45But when it comes to the Israelite spies, the unfaithful Israelite spies, they report what they wanted to see. They report what they saw through the eyes of fear when they should report on what they saw through the eyes of faith. These unfaithful spies experience doubt. And at its core, doubt is distrust in the character, purposes, and promises of God. They allow doubt to cloud their vision and make their decisions for them.04:23What about you? You may not be a spy like me, but can you relate to the 10 unfaithful spies at all? Do you ever experience doubt? Do you ever look at your life through the eyes of fear instead of the eyes of faith?04:46Do you ever allow doubt to cloud your vision and make your decisions for you? We are taking a short pause on the book of 1 Corinthians to focus on the books of Exodus and Numbers. This is the second week of our latest series for our example, Ancient Warnings for the Church today. Ancient Israel's history of disobedience should be studied for the sake of our obedience.05:16today. Throughout Exodus and Numbers, the Israelites set negative examples for us to avoid, and God provides warnings that we should not ignore. Last week, we studied the golden calf incident at Mount Sinai, and we received the warning to not be idolaters. This morning, we will receive another warning from God. Do not be doubters. Do not be doubters.05:45You know, heeding this warning, listening to this command from God may be a tall order for some of you. We live in such a stressed out and anxious culture where worry is normalized and excused. Everyone is worried about something. Politics, gas prices, the economy, house projects, young children inside the home, grown-up children outside the home.06:15the home, personal appearance, public opinion, the list is endless. You know, worry and doubt are not just problems out there. Worry and doubt are problems in this room. The outside culture has invaded the church. Many professing Christians are just as stressed out and worried as the unbelievers around them.06:45of faithful dependence upon God, we can so often be negative examples of disbelief in God and his plans for our lives. Maybe your worry is obvious to everyone around you besides you. Maybe you justify your worry in saying, well, I can't help it. This is my personality type. There's nothing I can do. Or maybe you are very well aware of your anxiety.07:15The doubts pile up in your mind, and you don't know what to do next. You don't know how to handle this serious issue. Thankfully, no matter where you fall on the spectrum of doubt, the Lord tells you what to do next in His Word. In Numbers chapter 13 through 14, the Lord calls you to avoid the negative examples of the 10 unfaithful Israelite spies, and He calls you to follow the positive of the two faithful spies. In these chapters, God shines a light on the potholes and pitfalls that will trip you up and cause you to fall into doubt. So before we continue, let's go to the Lord and ask for his help. Please pray for me. I will faithfully proclaim God's word and I will pray for you that you will faithfully receive God's word. Father, you have never once given us a reason to doubt you.08:18But we come before you today to acknowledge that we doubt you all the time.08:23We worry, we stress, we give ourselves over to anxiety.08:30Father, we repent of this and we ask for your help to change.08:35May you use your word to transform us.08:39May you use your word to remind us of your past faithfulness.08:44So the Israelites have escaped slavery in Egypt. They were delivered from the Egyptian army and they passed through the Red Sea. Last week we learned they survived their horrible act of idolatry at the base of Mount Sinai.09:14of disobedience, they're finally at the edge of the promised land. They made it. This journey was a lot harder than it needed to be, but they're finally here. It's like when you're driving on vacation in bumper to bumper traffic and your kids are arguing the whole time. The trip was really painful, but it's going to be worth it, right? The trip's going to be worth it. The destination is going to make all that worth it, right?09:44of the Israelites. Not so much when it comes to the Israelite family vacation.09:50They botched the trip to the promised land, and they're about to botch the trip into the promised land.09:58Twelve spies are sent to spy out the land, scope out the enemies that occupy it, and bring back a report.10:05Before they head out, Moses gives them a pep talk in chapter 13, verse 20.10:10He says, be of good courage and bring some of the fruit of the land. As you discussed, only two of the spies listen to Moses. Only two of them are of good courage and bring back a good report. Ten of them are cowards and they bring back a very negative report. These men choose to travel down the path that leads to doubt. And their path to doubt is the same exact path to doubt that you and I willingly walk down all the time.10:45So what is the path to doubt?10:49There are four attitudes and actions that will lead you to doubting the Lord and His good purposes for you.10:56So on your outline, I will doubt if I am paralyzed by my circumstances.11:02I will doubt if I am paralyzed by my circumstances.11:10Let's read verses 25-27 of chapter 13.11:36It flows with milk and honey. And this is its fruit. So far, so good, right? The first section of this report seems faithful. They give a positive description of the land. It's flowing with milk and honey. They even obey Moses' command and bring back some of the fruit of the land. Good job, guys. Well, this thumbs up is about to turn to a thumbs down. Very quickly, this report goes off the rails in verses 28 through 29.12:06However, that's when it goes wrong. However, the people who dwell in the land are strong, and the cities are fortified and very large, and besides, we saw the descendants of Anaknir.12:19The Amalekites dwell in the land of the Negev.12:21The Hittites, the Jebusites, and the Amorites dwell in the hill country.12:25And the Canaanites dwell by the sea and along the Jordan.12:31They're doing great until that, however, changes everything.12:38Yes, the land has a lot of flocks.12:40It has a lot of fruit.12:42It's a great land.12:44But the people there are really scary.12:47They are freakishly tall.12:48They have huge cities with massive walls.12:51They are way too strong.12:56There are enemies everywhere.13:00The unfaithful spies overshadow the goodness of the land with their however talk.13:07They downplay God's good gift to them, and they overhype the obstacles in their way.13:14You and I are great at this kind of however talk as well.13:19You think to yourself, yeah, I should be more present at home and engaging with my kids.13:24However, I'm just so exhausted when I get home.13:27I have nothing left to give.13:31Oh, I know I should take part in the New Testament reading plans that they're doing at Harvest. However, I'm just way too busy to commit to something like that. Maybe whenever life slows down. I should lead my family in devotions. However, I don't really know what I would say. I don't really know what I would do, so I'm just going to avoid that. I know I should share my faith and tell people about Jesus. However, I'm an introvert.14:00And it really makes me uncomfortable to do that. However talk leads to doubt. Doubt leads to disobedience. And disobedience leads to a denial of the blessings that God wants to give to you. A voice of reason cuts through their however talk in verse 30. Caleb, one of the faithful spies, speaks up for God and tells the truth. He calls people to action. Look at verse 30. But Caleb quieted the people before Moses and said, let us go up at once and occupy it for we are well able to overcome it. The unfaithful spies are dumping gasoline on the fire and fueling the fear of the people. The Israelites must respond in a loud panic because Caleb has to shut them up. He says, shush them so that they will listen to them.15:00And Caleb says, guys, let's stop talking and let's start going. We will defeat them. This is Caleb's epic movie moment. He is rallying the troops like William Wallace and Braveheart or Theoden in Lord of the Rings. If this were a movie, the epic music would blast. They would all raise their swords and storm the promised land. Happy ending. Is that what happens?15:30Now, the response to Caleb's epic speech is more however talk. The unfaithful spies ratchet up. They intensify their bad report in verses 31 through 33. Then the men who had gone up with him said, we are not able to go up against the people for they are stronger than we are. A.K.A. they are stronger than God.16:01So they brought to the people of Israel a bad report of the land that they had spied out saying the land through which we have gone to spy out is a land that devours its inhabitants and all the people that we saw in it are of a great height and there we saw the Nephilim the sons of Anak who come from the Nephilim and we seem to ourselves like grasshoppers and so we seemed to them. In verse 27 They mix in a positive description of the land. It's flowing with milk and honey. In these verses, they are straight negative. Now on second thought, the land isn't so great. Actually, it's a terrible place that will destroy us, that will devour us, and the people there are way too strong. We will lose if we go. What is their problem? Why are they saying these things?17:00making a bad decision you'll say and do just about anything to carry that out you'll exaggerate you'll lie you'll steamroll over others who disagree with you never underestimate the power of fear and its ability to distort your perception of reality the unfaithful spies are paralyzed by what they saw in the promised land and they are too and do what God said.17:35Can you relate to the ten unfaithful spies at all?17:40Do you ever exaggerate your problems?17:44Do you ever catastrophize your life?17:49Do you feel paralyzed by your circumstances right now and unable to move forward?17:56Maybe you are paralyzed by the difficult circumstances of your marriage right now.18:01Your marriage hasn't been good for months, maybe even years, and you've given up hope that it will ever change, so you just sleepwalk through life.18:11Maybe you are paralyzed by the difficult circumstances of your children not really caring about Jesus, constantly disobeying you, and you've just given up.18:23You doubt that things will ever change. So you wave the white flag. Maybe the difficult circumstance you are paralyzed by right now is a relational strain in your life. You and a family member haven't talked for a long time. Whenever you're in the same room, there's a lot of tension. And you doubt that it will ever improve. So you stop doing your part in reconciling the relationship. Maybe you are paralyzed by the difficult circumstance of a very hard decision that you need to make very soon. And you think to yourself, there's no way there will be a positive outcome to this, so it doesn't really matter what I decide. You're paralyzed. You don't know what to do, so you decide to do nothing. You decide to disobey the Lord. And please hear me, I know that many of you are going through an intense season of suffering. Some of which I know, some of which I don't know. You're experiencing loss, isolation, sickness, deep wounds in your family. The hits keep on coming and you don't see an end in sight. I do not want to minimize your pain, but I do want to maximize your view of the Lord. You will continue to be paralyzed by your circumstances until you choose to focus on the God who is far greater and far stronger than your circumstances. You may have been thrown for a loop by what happened to you, but God wasn't. Instead of being paralyzed by the immensity of your problems, be encouraged by the immensity of your God. When you have a small vision of God, your problems seem unbelievably out of control.20:27But when you have a big vision of a big God, your problems are teeny tiny in comparison.20:34Small God, big problems.20:36Big God, small problems.20:38Do that with me.20:39Small God, big problems.20:42Big God, small problems.20:45Remember, I will doubt if I am paralyzed by my circumstances.20:50Secondly, I will doubt if I choose the comfort of my past. I will doubt if I choose the comfort of my past. The day after a presidential election is a fascinating social experiment, isn't it? Does the losing side really respond with grace and poise? Almost never. You turn on the TV, no matter who wins, no matter who loses, there is a temper tantrum.21:20There's upset feelings. There's even crying. People threatening to leave the country, which never actually happens. I've never seen that. People actually follow through on that. The Israelites react to this bad report in a very similar way at the beginning of Numbers 14. Look at verses 1 through 4 of chapter 14. Then all the congregation raised a loud cry, and the people wept that night. And all the people of Israel grumbled against Moses and Aaron.21:50The whole congregation said to them, Would that we had died in the land of Egypt, or would that we had died in the wilderness?21:56Why is the Lord bringing us into this land to fall by the sword?22:00Our wives and our little ones will become a prey.22:03Would it not be better for us to go back to Egypt?22:08And they said to one another, Let us choose a leader and go back to Egypt.22:15Wouldn't you know it, it's pity party time.22:18The Israelites are feeling bad for themselves. Do you see yourself in this response at all? I know that I do. I had a very bad reaction a few weeks ago. I had a very long and frustrating day, and I just wanted to go to bed. Anybody else, has that ever happened to you? You're just like, I'm just done with this day. I want to start over fresh tomorrow. And I thought to myself, you know what, I'm just going to fill up my water bottle, just in case I'm thirsty in the middle I'm going to go to bed. So I fill it up to the brim. It's a pretty big water bottle. Here's the problem. I didn't tighten the lid. So when I go to grab it, it spills over the entire counter. It goes down into all the drawers and it goes back behind the oven. And I just sit there and be like, what just happened? The water was everywhere. It took me 20 minutes to clean it up. I had to pull the oven out and dry behind there. And then you see all the stuff that's under your oven, which is really gross. So I'm scrubbing. I'm vacuuming. I'm doing all that. I have to pull all the drawers open and towel them dry. All of our pans are soaked. All of our bread bags are soaked. I'm fuming. And I go up to my bedroom and I tell my wife all about it. I have a very bad reaction. I say, why does this stuff always happen to me? I'm like a magnet for annoying and embarrassing stories. And then I proceeded to list all the embarrassing things that happened to me recently.23:47Like getting hit by an uninsured DoorDash driver. Who else has that happened to? Breaking my foot on stilts. Who else has that happened to? If you don't know that story, take me to Chick-fil-A sometime and I'll tell you all about it. But anyway, I'm going through this list and I finally finish my monologue. And my wife says, nothing. And she looks at me with the look that only a wife can have.24:17This water incident was not ridiculous. My response was ridiculous. Even more than that, my response was ungodly and wrong. The Israelites' response in this passage is ridiculous. It's ungodly. It's wrong. They grumble and complain against their leaders. They grumble and complain against God. They even accuse God of pulling a cruel prank on them.24:45Oh, God only brought us out of Egypt so we could die here. He did that to kill our children. Yeah, that makes a lot of sense, guys. God did all that just to zing you. Right. It's ridiculous. Foolish thinking leads to foolish behavior. I don't want to focus too much on their grumbling because we're going to talk about their complaining more at the end of this series. The Israelites not only complain and make accusations, They also openly rebel against God. And they start a mutiny. They refuse to enter the promised land. And they say, we're going back to Egypt. They want to go back to slavery. Why would they want to do that? Why would the Israelites want to go back to slavery? Because it's familiar. Because it's comfortable. Because there are no surprises.25:46They know what to expect from day to day. A life of bondage is more comfortable than a life of trusting God. And the same is true for Christians today. This is why in times of trial and uncertainty, you are the most tempted to go back to who you used to be and what you used to do before Jesus Christ saved you. You are the most tempted to slip back into your old sinful patterns.26:16And Paul warns against this temptation in Romans 6, 20-21. He says, For when you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness. But what fruit were you getting at the time from the things of which you were now ashamed? What good did it do you? For the end of those things is death. There is no upside to sin. There is no benefit to going back. It is pointless.26:46You will be disappointed when you slip back into your old self. When you slip back into your old sinful patterns. It's like watching a movie that you used to love when you were a kid, but now it does nothing for you. Just turn it off and move on. It's like slipping into an old jacket that used to fit you so well in high school or college, but now it's way too loose, it's way too tight. Take it off, throw it in the trash, and wear something that's fits who you actually are now.27:20I could spend the rest of this sermon listing off all the sinful patterns you are tempted to slip back into.27:26But that's pointless because you know exactly what sinful pattern you are tempted to slip back into.27:35Maybe you're feeling that itch right now.27:39Maybe you've scratched that itch already and you're feeling that urge yet again.27:46Well, please consider the answer to these two questions with me. When has sin ever helped you? What's the answer to that question? Never. When has sin ever been the right solution to your problem? Not even once. Going back to your past sin will only hurt you and it will never help you. It will only amplify the fears and doubts that you're already experiencing.28:14experiencing. Sometimes it feels like the current of temptation is impossible to resist.28:20But that's not true.28:22Don't just give up and go back.28:24Instead, by the grace of God, by the power of the Holy Spirit, dig in and move forward.28:31Be honest with a Christian friend or family member.28:36Talk to me or one of the elders after service.28:38We would love to pray for you.28:39We would love to give you the counsel that you need.28:43Listen to the warning of this passage. I know that many of you just need to hear from the Lord. You don't have to go back. You don't have to do this. Do you believe that? You don't have to go back. You may feel like you have to give in to your sin, but you don't. You don't have to do this. You I will doubt if I am paralyzed by my circumstances. I will doubt if I choose the comfort of my past. I will doubt if I tune out godly counsel. I will tune out if I tune out godly counsel. At this point, most of the Israelites are packing their bags and typing the address for Egypt in their GPS. They are ready to go.29:43But there are four men who are willing to stand in the gap and go against the grain of this insanity. And two of these men are the faithful spies, Joshua and Caleb. They speak up and give godly counsel. In chapter 14, verses 5 through 9.30:13and said to all the congregation of the people of Israel, the land which we passed to to spy it out is an exceedingly good land.30:22If the Lord delights in us, he will bring us into this land and give it to us, a land that flows with milk and honey.30:30Only do not rebel against the Lord.30:33And do not fear the people of the land, for they are bred for us.30:37Their protection is removed from them, and the Lord is with us.30:41Do not fear them. Caleb is two for two with the inspiring speeches. And this time Joshua, his friend, backs him up. You think, okay, maybe this time the people will listen. Maybe this time they will respond in faith instead of doubt. Look at their response in verse 10. Then all the congregation said to stone them with stones. Once again, you just want to reach the Pages of Scripture and shake them by the shoulders. Why won't you listen? Why do you keep disobeying? Why do you keep doubting? Those are great questions. Let me answer those questions with questions of my own. Have you ever not listened to God's Word in the past? Have you ever closed your Bible after reading it and not done what it said?31:41Have you ever not lived out what you were called to in a faithful sermon? Have you ever tuned out godly counsel from a wise Christian friend? I see a lot of nodding heads. I hear some yeses. But why? Why didn't you listen to God's word? Why did you tune out godly counsel? Because you thought you knew better than God. You trusted yourself.32:11when you should have trusted him. That godly counsel from a solid Christian friend wasn't what you wanted to hear, so you chose to go with your own way. You chose to follow your own advice. Like mold, doubt thrives in the darkness. Doubt will continue to spread in your heart and your mind if you do not willingly expose yourself to the light of God's word. But here's the thing.32:41It's not enough to just buy a lamp and put it in your living room.32:46What do you need to do next?32:49Turn it on.32:50That's the only way you can experience the illuminating power of the lamp.32:54You have to do something.32:56This requires action.32:58It's the same with God's Word.33:00It's not enough just to have the Bible on your nightstand, on your bookshelf.33:05You have to actually do something.33:07You have to actually read it.33:10It's not even enough just to read the Bible. It's not enough just to come every Sunday and hear the Word. You have to actually do something with it. You have to actually have action and follow through. You have to live in obedience to it to truly experience the life-giving power of God's Word. The death-destroying power of Scripture. This requires you doing what it says.33:40I stole it from the Bible. Listen to James.33:45But be doers of the word and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.33:48For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks intently at his natural face in the mirror.33:55For he looks at himself and goes away and at once forgets what he was like.33:59But the one who looks into the perfect law, the law of liberty and perseveres, being no hearer who forgets but a doer who acts, he will be blessed in his doing.34:11The Israelites hear what God has to say, but they do not do what God says. They are hearers who forget and not doers who act, so they forfeit God's blessing. Are you a hearer who forgets? Or are you a doer who acts and receives God's blessing? Could it be that you are so worried, anxious, and filled with doubt because you know a lot this book, but you're not doing a lot with this book.34:46Your knowledge of Scripture is very high, but your obedience percentage is very, very low.34:55I have to tell you, that's a very destructive place to be, and you do not want to stay there.35:01If you stay in that position of knowing a lot, but not doing what the Bible says, you will doubt that God knows what He is doing.35:09You will doubt that God loves you. You will doubt your salvation. You will not have an assurance of your faith. This is why so many believers do not believe in the truth of the gospel, not trust that they have an assurance. They're not living in obedience to Scripture. They're not enjoying that close fellowship that comes with doing what God says. You know the Bible, but don't live it out. You will doubt.35:39It's just a matter of time.35:43I will doubt if I am paralyzed by my circumstances.35:47I will doubt if I choose the comfort of sin.35:50I will doubt if I tune out godly counsel.35:53And finally, I will doubt if I follow the crowd.35:58I will doubt if I follow the crowd.36:04Israel is about to treat Joshua and Caleb like human pinatas.36:08They're about to stone them.36:11Then in chapter 14, verse 10, God shows up on the scene himself and stops the whole thing, and he takes Moses aside for a personal conversation.36:22It's very similar to what we studied last week in Exodus chapter 32.36:26Once again, God tells Moses, I'm going to destroy this rebellious people and start over with you.36:33Once again, Moses pleads for mercy.36:37And once again, God responds that plea for mercy and chooses to save the Israelites. God answers Moses' request, but there will be consequences. There will be consequences for the doubters, and there will be blessing for those who remain faithful. Let's look at these consequences and blessings in chapter 14, verse 20 into 38. I know it's a lot, but please stay with me.37:07But truly, as I live, as all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the Lord, none of the men who have seen my glory and my signs that I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and yet have put me to the test these ten times, and have not obeyed my voice, shall see the land that I swore to give to their fathers, and none of those who despise me shall see it. But my servant Caleb, because he has a different spirit and has followed me fully, I will bring him to the land into which he went, and his descendants shall possess it.37:37Now since the Amalekites and the Canaanites dwell in the valleys, turn tomorrow and set out for the wilderness by the way of the Red Sea. And the Lord spoke to Moses and to Aaron saying, How long shall this wicked congregation grumble against me? I have heard the grumblings of the people of Israel which they grumble against me. Say to them, As I live, declares the Lord, what you have said in my hearing I will do to you. Your dead bodies shall fall in this wilderness.38:07who have grumbled against me. Not one shall come into this land where I swore you, where I make you to dwell, except Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua, the son of Nun. But your little ones, who you said would become prey, I will bring in, and they shall know the land that you have rejected. But as for you, your dead bodies shall fall in the wilderness, and your children shall be shepherds in the wilderness 40 years, and shall suffer for your faithlessness. And for the last of your dead bodies lies in the wilderness.38:38According to the number of the days in which you spy out the land, 40 days, a year for each day, you shall bear your iniquity 40 years, and you shall know my displeasure. I, the Lord, have spoken. Surely this I will do to all this wicked congregation who are gathered together against me. In this wilderness they shall come to a full end, and there they shall die. And the men whom Moses sent to spy out the land, who returned and made all the congregation grumble against him, by bringing up a bad report, the man who brought up a bad report of the land died by a plague before the Lord. Of those who went out to spy the land, only Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephunneh remained alive. Let's cover the consequences first. The older generations who doubted and grumbled will never see the promised land. They will die in the wilderness. And along the way they'll have to wander for 40 years.39:37One year for every single day the spies were in the land. The younger generations will see the promised land, but they have to wait for 40 years. So if you are 19 when this happened, how old will you be when you see the promised land? 59 years old. These are the consequences for doubting the Lord. These are the consequences for caring about public opinion more than God's definitive word.40:06These are the consequences for following the crowd instead of following the Lord. But there is blessing for those who follow the Lord instead of follow the crowd. God says only two of the spies will not die. Only two of the spies will see the promised land. Joshua and Caleb. These men remain faithful when everyone around them is faithless. They choose to trust when everyone else doubts.40:37Why? What makes them so special? Well, God tells us. God says it's about Caleb. He has a different spirit than the rest of the Israelites. He says he follows the Lord fully. What does that mean? It means that Caleb does whatever God says, no matter what. When it's easy, when it's not so easy, when it seems impossible.41:10He only cares about what God says. He doesn't lick His finger and try to figure out which direction the wind is blowing. He is willing to stand out as different. He refuses to blend in and be like everybody else. Do you have a different spirit than the non-believers around you? Do you have a different spirit than the non-Christians at work, your non-Christian neighbors? Or do you look just like them? Do you follow the Lord fully, or do you follow the Lord half-heartedly? I said at the beginning of this message that many Christians look just as anxious, stressed out, and worried as the non-Christians around them. Is that you today?42:08If that's you, you can have a different spirit today. You can follow the Lord fully today. You can bring all of your cares, all of your intrusive thoughts to God, and His perfect peace will guard your heart and your mind today. You can cast all of your anxieties on Him today because He cares for you today. And every other day after that, you can make a change today.42:36I really don't want you to mishear me. Please listen carefully.42:40You will experience doubt. You will experience worry. You will experience fear.42:47These are just the realities of living in a fallen world. But you do not need to be controlled by these things any longer. You don't need to be worried all the time. Do not sentence yourself to a life of stress.43:02It may be a badge of honor in this sinful culture, but it will not be rewarded in heaven. Being worried all the time may seem normal by this world's standards, but it is not normal by heaven's standards. Do not follow the crowd and willingly travel down the path to doubt any longer. Be on guard against the four attitudes and actions that will lead you down the path to doubt.43:31You will doubt if you are paralyzed by your circumstances. You will doubt if you choose the comfort of your past. You will doubt if you tune out godly counsel. And you will doubt if you follow the crowd. The Lord is so faithful in giving us what we need to fight against doubt. He has given us His word. He has given us prayer. He has given us His people.44:01and he has given us the Lord's Supper. You may be wondering, how does communion help me to fight against doubt? Every single time we share in this meal together, we are rejecting the lies of this world and we are proclaiming the truths of God's word. Every single time we take part in this meal together, we are rejecting the lies that Jesus is just a made-up fairy tale or some moral teacher who has nice things to say 2,000 years ago. We are proclaiming that Jesus Christ is Savior and Lord. We are rejecting the lies that we're not sure what happens after you die, or there are multiple ways to God. No, instead, we are proclaiming that Jesus Christ is the only way, the only truth, and the only life. We are rejecting the lies that God doesn't care about us. We are proclaiming that God is our Father, and He adopted us through faith in His Son.45:00We are rejecting the lie that we could ever be good enough to earn God's love and we are proclaiming that in Christ we are loved by God. We are accepted by God. We are forgiven. We are made new. Every single time we share this meal together we are rejecting the lies of this world and proclaiming the unshakable truths of heaven. What better way is there to fight against doubt than that? Our communion servers and our worship team can now make their way forward.45:31You do not need to be a member of Harvest Bible Chapel to take part in the Lord's Supper, but you do need to be a member of the family of God. There are some of you in this room who do not have faith in Jesus Christ. You doubt what the Bible says about who He is and what He has done. If that's you, I encourage you to stay seated. I encourage you to consider where your doubt has led you. Doubting Jesus has only led to misery, heartache, and pain. I implore you today to be done with doubt and to place your trust in Jesus Christ alone for salvation. If you are a born-again believer in Jesus, in a few moments you will walk down one of the center aisles and come receive the elements from one of our servers. You will go back to your seat and wait until we take the Lord's Supper together. You can come as you are ready.

Kencan Dengan Tuhan - Kamis, 9 Juli 2026Bacaan: "Hidup dan mati dikuasai lidah, siapa suka menggemakannya, akan memakan buahnya." (Amsal 18:21)Renungan: Suatu hari seorang istri mengeluh karena minggu ini ia terlalu lelah. Kerjaan menumpuk, anak rewel minta ditemenin belajar. Suaminya pulang kerja terus rebahan main HP. Tanpa sadar ia kesal dan berkata kepada suaminya: "Kamu sih tahunya cuma enak-enak rebahan. Gak pernah mikirin rumah ini!" Suaminya pun diam. Malam itu suasana rumah menjadi dingin. Dua hari kemudian giliran ia yang sakit. Anak-anak yang biasanya deket dengannya menjadi takut karena melihat papa mamanya tegang. Ia pun tersadar. Satu kalimat emosinya malam itu "mematikan" suasana rumah selama dua hari. Padahal kalau ia bilang: "Pa, aku capek. Boleh tolong temenin anak belajar 30 menit?" pasti jawabannya berbeda. Amsal 18:21 ini berisi peringatan keras dari Raja Salomo tentang kuasa dari kata-kata: "Hidup dan mati dikuasai lidah". Di rumah, lidah kita bisa jadi sumber kehidupan atau sumber kematian. Dengan kata-kata kita bisa menghidupkan semangat pasangan, menguatkan anak yang gagal, memberkati keluarga. Tapi dengan kata-kata juga kita bisa melukai hati pasangan, mematikan semangat anak, dan merusak keharmonisan rumah. Rumah tangga kita adalah cermin dari apa yang sering kita ucapkan. Suka mengeluh, maka rumah penuh keluhan. Suka mengucap syukur dan menguatkan, maka rumah penuh damai. Keluarga adalah tempat pertama kita latihan memakai lidah. Tiga hal yang bisa kita latih mulai saat ini: 1. Ganti kritik dengan permintaan. Dari perkataan, "Aku sibuk, jadi lupa" menjadi "Sayang, boleh tolong ingetin aku ya" 2. Perbanyak kata penguat untuk anak. Perkataan, "Mama bangga kamu sudah berusaha", lebih menghidupkan daripada "Nilainya kok segitu-segitu aja".3. Doa berkat sebelum tidur. Ucapkan satu kalimat berkat untuk tiap anggota keluarga. Itu seperti menyiram tanaman di rumah. Ingat, anak-anak kita tidak akan ingat seberapa rapi rumah kita. Tapi mereka akan ingat: "Di rumah ini, kata-kata apa yang paling sering ia dengar." Tuhan Yesus memberkati. DOA:Tuhan Yesus, ampunilah aku kalau selama ini lidahku sering melukai orang-orang yang paling aku kasihi di rumah. Ajarilah aku menjadi pembawa damai di tengah keluargaku. Berikan hikmat supaya setiap kata yang keluar dari mulutku adalah kata yang membangun, menguatkan, dan memberkati. Amin. (Dod).

Did the Nephilim truly disappear after the Flood... or did some survive?In this episode of Free The Rabbits, Joel Thomas follows the biblical trail of Og of Bashan and Sihon, two mysterious Amorite kings whose kingdoms stood directly in the path of Israel's conquest of the Promised Land. Scripture identifies Og as one of the last Rephaim, while multiple passages connect the Anakim, Rephaim, and the Nephilim into a much larger post-Flood mystery.Together we'll examine the biblical text, Hebrew word studies, historical sources, and ancient Jewish writings surrounding these giant bloodlines. We'll also explore why these giant kings occupied the Promised Land, what made Bashan such an important location, and whether the surviving Nephilim deliberately opposed God's covenant with Israel.Could Og and Sihon represent the final remnants of an ancient rebellion stretching back before the Flood?Merchandise: https://freetherabbits.myshopify.comBuy Me A Coffee: DonateFollow: Website | Instagram | X | FacebookWatch: YouTube | RumbleMusic: YouTube | Spotify | Apple Music Films: https://merkelfilms.com Email: freetherabbitspodcast@gmail.comDistributed by: merkel.mediaIntro Music:Joel Thomas – Free The RabbitsYouTube | Spotify | Apple MusicOutro Music:Joel Thomas – GreyYouTube | Spotify | Apple MusicTopics Discussed:Og, Sihon, King of Bashan, King of the Amorites, Nephilim, Rephaim, Anakim, Giants After the Flood, Bashan, Mount Hermon, Numbers 13, Deuteronomy 3, Joshua's Conquest, Caleb, Sons of Anak, Amorites, Amalekites, Promised Land, Giant Bloodlines, Hebrew Word Studies, Rapha, Rephaim, Genesis 14, War of the Kings, Valley of Rephaim, Ancient Jewish Traditions, Book of Jubilees, 2 Baruch, Amorite Witchcraft, Biblical Giants, Fallen Angels, Post-Flood Nephilim, Ancient Canaan, Old Testament, Biblical Archaeology, Biblical History, Supernatural Bible Study

Sermon Notes: Raised to Praise Preacher: Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa Main Text: Psalm 89:15–18 Supporting Scriptures: Psalm 34:1, Numbers 13 (Kadesh Barnea Account), 1 Samuel 17 (David & Goliath), Jeremiah 30:19, Psalm 67:5–6, Acts 16:25–26, 2 Chronicles 20:21–23, Psalm 149:5–9, Nehemiah 8:10 Core Theme: In life, your mindset and programming determine your trajectory. Believers must reject a structural identity built on complaining, murmuring, and negativity, and instead tap into the supernatural power of divine programming to become people who are intentionally "raised to praise." 1. Introduction: Identity, Persona, and Mentalities In life, individuals unconsciously adopt specific personas, identities, and mindsets that govern how they react to reality. Many of these default mentalities are completely unbiblical. Your long-term mentality is highly dependent on your internal spiritual programming. You can actively choose the kind of person you want to become by shifting what rules your mind. 2. Prophetic Case Study: Two Distant Categories of Programming Category I: Those "Raised to Complain" (The Ten Spies) The Historical Context (Kadesh Barnea): When the children of Israel reached Kadesh Barnea—the exact border of the Promised Land—Moses dispatched twelve spies to spy out the territory and bring back a structural report. The Negative Report: Ten of the spies returned with a report saturated with fear, murmuring, and defeatist descriptions. They acknowledged the fruitfulness of the land but focused entirely on the obstacles: the fortified cities and the descendants of Anak (the Anakites), who were literal physical giants. The Grasshopper Complex: The ten spies reported: "We saw ourselves as grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were in their sight." Instead of focusing on God's foundational promises, they viewed reality through their physical shortcomings, short stature, and inadequate military experience. The Warning Against Structural Complaining: These ten spies represent individuals who are culturally and systematically programmed to only spot negativity, problems, errors, and disadvantages in any environment, group, or local church. Category II: Those "Raised to Praise" (Joshua and Caleb) Operating under an entirely different internal spirit, Joshua and Caleb stood before the assembly with a contradictory testimony. They witnessed the exact same giants, cities, and physical realities, yet their immediate response was praise, confidence, and radical faith. Where the ten spies perceived an un-scalable wall of destruction, those raised to praise perceived a divine opportunity to rise up, break forth, and fully conquer the territory. 3. The Structural Mechanics of a Praiser: The Pattern of David Psalm 34:1 "I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth." Praise Under Pressure: Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa emphasized that true praise must be deployed regardless of what is laid out on your physical plate or unfolding in your life. Praise is non-negotiable; it cannot be limited to good times. If you do not master this, the enemy will inevitably conquer your mind with deep depression and structural anxiety. The Rejection of the Wilderness: David was structurally rejected by his own biological family, left out of academic opportunities, and abandoned in the isolated desert to tend sheep while his brothers were groomed for leadership. Yet, instead of developing bitterness, David utilized the isolation of the desert to master the joyful sound and compose timeless Psalms. The Confrontation with Goliath (1 Samuel 17): Because David was forged in private praise, he walked onto the active war front with a completely different spiritual estimation. While King Saul and the entire trained army of Israel were physically shaking and paralyzed by the daily threats of Goliath of Gath, David saw the giant simply as an uncircumcised Philistine and a structural stepping stone to his next level of authority. 4. Scriptural Exposition: The Mystery of the Joyful Sound Psalm 89:15 "Blessed are the people who know the joyful sound! They walk, O Lord, in the light of Your countenance." "Blessed..." In original context, this literally translates to Happy. True kingdom happiness is structurally bound to your level of praise. "Who know..." The word "know" denotes deep spiritual perception, personal familiarity, and an intimate acquaintance with the frequency of praise. There are many individuals who remain completely ignorant of the technical mechanics of praise. The Contrast with Worldly Performance: People enthusiastically celebrate, shout, jump, and take selfies when their favorite football team scores or executes a strategic win on the pitch. If believers can channel that exact raw level of energetic celebration into high praise toward the Living God, they will activate unprecedented levels of dynamic breakthroughs. 5. What is Praise? (The Greek Root) Praise is derived from the Greek word "Eulogia" or "Eulogeo", which fundamentally means to speak fine, excellent, and beautiful words. It is the deliberate act of using your vocal capacity to structure and release beautiful, uplifting declarations about the character and capability of God. The Mediums of Praise: You can legally express Eulogia through several physical and spiritual streams: dynamic singing, spoken prophetic words, high-spirited dancing, and specific, consistent thanksgiving offerings. 6. The Six Supernatural Dimensions Activated via Praise When a believer transitions into a continuous lifestyle of praise, six distinct spiritual realities are legally triggered into manifestation: I. The Weaponization of Vengeance Scriptures: Psalm 149:5–9, 2 Chronicles 20:21–23 High praise carries an intrinsic spiritual capability to execute heavy judgment and divine vengeance against the legal enemies of God's children. Praise is not a passive song; praise is active warfare. When King Jehoshaphat positioned the praisers ahead of the army, God physically ambushed and completely annihilated their adversaries. II. The Provocation of Supernatural Multiplication Scriptures: Jeremiah 30:19, Psalm 67:5–6 The Principle: Whenever the voice of thanksgiving and high celebration proceeds from a house, God responds with rapid numerical and financial multiplication. Scripturally, when you praise Him, "then shall the earth yield her increase." Jesus modeled this by offering praise over a structural deficit of five loaves and two fish, turning it into a cascading surplus. III. The Invocation of the Manifested Presence Scriptures: Acts 16:25–26, Psalm 89:15 Praise acts as a supernatural conduit that pulls down the raw, manifested presence and earthquake power of God. When Paul and Silas sang hymns inside the deepest dungeon of Philippi under maximum constraint, the localized presence of God violently shook the structural foundations of the prison and threw every door wide open. IV. The Deployment of Divine Favor and Honor Scriptures: Psalm 89:16–17, Jeremiah 30:19 Operating in praise triggers a peculiar fragrance of favor that causes your "horn" (authority and influence) to be dynamically exalted. God guarantees that those who glorify Him with praise will be heavily honored and completely removed from a low estimation or a small estate. V. The Release of Supernatural Strength and Empowerment Scriptures: Psalm 89:17, Nehemiah 8:10 God Himself becomes the literal glory of your physical and mental capacity. Murmuring and a stiff countenance cause physical illnesses, ulcers, and inner structural damage. However, because the joy of the Lord is your unshakeable strength, deep praise releases raw, divine vitality into your system. VI. The Enforcement of Total Divine Protection Scripture: Psalm 89:18 For the people who explicitly understand and operate within the joyful sound, the Lord takes up a legal position as their supreme defense and permanent shield. Your safety is structurally locked behind the gateway of your praise. 7. Practical Application & Commissioning Audit Your Countenance: Reject a stiff, frozen, or frowning expression. A stiff face reflects an internal state akin to a lifeless stick, whereas a joyful, smiling countenance releases an angelic atmosphere. Shift Your Default Vocabulary: Stop utilizing your words to map out grievances, small resources, educational limitations, or past rejections. Adopt the Eulogia frequency: daily speak fine, excellent, and bold words over your life, your home, and your business. Engage in Radical Action: Walk out of this message into active celebration. Shake off the wilderness mentality, grab a partner by the hand, and unlock the heavy blessings of multiplication, favor, and protection by executing your highest, most passionate dance steps before the King!

06/28/2026 Rev. Paul Bang   No King in Israel: A Series in the Book of Judges (Part 1) How the Next Generation Lost Its Way   JUDGES 1: 1-21 ESV THE CONTINUING CONQUEST OF CANAAn: 1 After the death of Joshua, the people of Israel inquired of the Lord, “Who shall go up first for us against the Canaanites, to fight against them?” 2 The Lord said, “Judah shall go up; behold, I have given the land into his hand.” 3 And Judah said to Simeon his brother, “Come up with me into the territory allotted to me, that we may fight against the Canaanites. And I likewise will go with you into the territory allotted to you.” So Simeon went with him. 4 Then Judah went up and the Lord gave the Canaanites and the Perizzites into their hand, and they defeated 10,000 of them at Bezek. 5 They found Adoni-bezek at Bezek and fought against him and defeated the Canaanites and the Perizzites. 6 Adoni-bezek fled, but they pursued him and caught him and cut off his thumbs and his big toes. 7 And Adoni-bezek said, “Seventy kings with their thumbs and their big toes cut off used to pick up scraps under my table. As I have done, so God has repaid me.” And they brought him to Jerusalem, and he died there. 8 And the men of Judah fought against Jerusalem and captured it and struck it with the edge of the sword and set the city on fire. 9 And afterward the men of Judah went down to fight against the Canaanites who lived in the hill country, in the Negeb, and in the lowland. 10 And Judah went against the Canaanites who lived in Hebron (now the name of Hebron was formerly Kiriath-arba), and they defeated Sheshai and Ahiman and Talmai. 11 From there they went against the inhabitants of Debir. The name of Debir was formerly Kiriath-sepher. 12 And Caleb said, “He who attacks Kiriath-sepher and captures it, I will give him Achsah my daughter as wife.” 13 And Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother, captured it. And he gave him Achsah his daughter as wife. 14 When she came to him, she urged him to ask her father for a field. And she dismounted from her donkey, and Caleb said to her, “What do you want?” 15 She said to him, “Give me a blessing. Since you have given me the land of the Negeb, give me also springs of water.” And Caleb gave her the upper springs and the lower springs. 16 And the descendants of the Kenite, Moses' father-in-law, went up with the people of Judah from the city of palms into the wilderness of Judah, which lies in the Negeb near Arad, and they went and settled with the people. 17 And Judah went with Simeon his brother, and they defeated the Canaanites who inhabited Zephath and devoted it to destruction. So the name of the city was called Hormah.[a] 18 Judah also captured Gaza with its territory, and Ashkelon with its territory, and Ekron with its territory. 19 And the Lord was with Judah, and he took possession of the hill country, but he could not drive out the inhabitants of the plain because they had chariots of iron. 20 And Hebron was given to Caleb, as Moses had said. And he drove out from it the three sons of Anak. 21 But the people of Benjamin did not drive out the Jebusites who lived in Jerusalem, so the Jebusites have lived with the people of Benjamin in Jerusalem to this day.

Kencan Dengan Tuhan - Senin, 15 Juni 2026Bacaan: Adapun anak-anak lelaki Eli adalah orang-orang dursila; mereka tidak mengindahkan TUHAN." (1 Samuel 2:12)Renungan: Setiap anak memiliki karakter dan sifat yang khas. Itu betul. Namun sifat anak kita menjadi seperti apa, itu sangat tergantung bagaimana kita mendidik dan mengajarnya. Jangan berkata, "Anak saya memang bawaannya seperti itu." Sifat dan karakter anak kita tidak bertumbuh dengan sendirinya, kitalah yang menentukan seperti apa sifat dan karakter anak kita. Ibarat kertas kosong, kitalah yang mengisi atau melukis kehidupan anak-anak kita dengan nilai-nilai kehidupan yang kita tanamkan kepadanya sejak dini. Mengapa seorang anak minder dan tidak percaya diri? Apakah karena bawaan? Tidak! Karena orang tuanya tidak memberinya semangat dan penghargaan. Mengapa ada anak yang pelitnya luar biasa? Karena orang tuanya tidak pernah mengajar dan memberi contoh bagaimana memberi dan berbagi. Mengapa ada anak yang pengecut? Karena kita selalu membelanya, tidak peduli benar atau salah. Mengapa ada anak yang selalu berusaha cari perhatian? Karena kita tidak cukup memberi perhatian dan kasih sayang kepadanya. Mengapa ada anak yang selalu mengeluh? Karena kita tak mengajarnya untuk selalu bersyukur. Mengapa Hofni dan Pinehas yang adalah anak seorang imam justru menjadi anak-anak dursila? Karena imam Eli ayahnya tidak mendidiknya dengan benar. Imam Eli terlalu lembek, acuh, dan tak tegas dalam mendidik anak-anaknya. Bandingkan dengan Timotius yang hidup dalam didikan iman, baik oleh ibu dan neneknya. Bagaimana cara kita mendidik anak, itulah yang membuat perbedaan, akankah kita melahirkan anak-anak hebat dengan karakter yang kuat, ataukah kita akan melahirkan anak-anak gampang dengan karakter buruk? Jika anak kita bertumbuh dengan karakter yang buruk, pertama-tama yang patut disalahkan bukanlah anak kita tapi justru kita sebagai orang tua. Mengapa? Karena tanggung jawab dalam mendidik anak sepenuhnya ada di tangan kita. Kita tidak bisa membiarkan anak kita bertumbuh dengan sendirinya, lalu berharap bahwa anak kita bertumbuh menjadi anak hebat dengan karakter yang hebat pula. Tuhan Yesus memberkati. Doa:Tuhan Yesus, berilah aku kuasa penuh untuk mendidik anak-anak yang Kau percayakan padaku, sehingga aku dapat mendidik mereka menjadi anak-anak yang memiliki karakter seperti Engkau. Amin. (Dod).

QUOTES FOR REFLECTION“You and all of your new perspective nowWish I could shut it in a closetAnd drag you back down.”~Noah Kahan, “New Perspective” “I believe in Christianity as I believe that the Sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else.”~C.S. Lewis (1898-1963), British scholar, writer, and Christian apologist, in “Is Theology Poetry?” “All those who are ‘in the Messiah' are covered, shielded, protected, like the Israelites sheltering under the blood of the Passover lamb. That's Romans 3. They are declared to be Abraham's true family, Romans 4. They are therefore the true humanity, Romans 5. And they set off on their journey through the Red Sea as newly-freed slaves, as in Romans 6; they find themselves at Mount Sinai in Romans 7, only to discover in Romans 8 that what the law could not do God has done in his Son and by his Spirit, and they are on the way home through the wilderness to their promised inheritance. This is the new Exodus.”~N.T. Wright, New Testament scholar and Anglican bishop “Here again [in Romans 8:15], it seems that Paul is describing the situation of his Christian readers in Rome by using exodus metaphors. They should not be afraid and desire to return to ‘the house of slavery,' as did the Israelites in the desert. … Instead, they should continue to recognize the leading of the Spirit of God, which confirms their status as ‘sons,' causes them to cry to God as Father, and shows the way to freedom.”~Richard B. Hays, New Testament scholar, in “Pneumatology: The Spirit in Romans 8” “When Pharaoh drew near, the people of Israel lifted up their eyes, and behold, the Egyptians were marching after them, and they feared greatly. And the people of Israel cried out to the Lord. They said to Moses, ‘Is it because there are no graves in Egypt that you have taken us away to die in the wilderness? What have you done to us in bringing us out of Egypt? Is not this what we said to you in Egypt: “Leave us alone that we may serve the Egyptians”? For it would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in the wilderness.'  And Moses said to the people, ‘Fear not, stand firm, and see the salvation of the Lord.'”~Exodus 14:10-13 (ESV)SERMON PASSAGE Romans 8:1-17 (ESV)Romans 8 (ESV) 1 There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. 2 For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death. 3 For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do. By sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh, 4 in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. 5 For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit. 6 For to set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace. 7 For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to God's law; indeed, it cannot. 8 Those who are in the flesh cannot please God. 9 You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if in fact the Spirit of God dwells in you. Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him. 10 But if Christ is in you, although the body is dead because of sin, the Spirit is life because of righteousness. 11 If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you.12 So then, brothers, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. 13 For if you live according to the flesh you will die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. 14 For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. 15 For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!” 16 The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, 17 and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, provided we suffer with him in order that we may also be glorified with him.1 Corinthians 10 (NIV) 1 For I do not want you to be ignorant of the fact, brothers and sisters, that our ancestors were all under the cloud and that they all passed through the sea…. 5 Nevertheless, God was not pleased with most of them; their bodies were scattered in the wilderness. 6 Now these things occurred as examples to keep us from setting our hearts on evil things as they did.  Exodus 16 (NIV) 2 In the desert the whole community grumbled against Moses and Aaron. 3 The Israelites said to them, “If only we had died by the Lord's hand in Egypt! There we sat around pots of meat and ate all the food we wanted, but you have brought us out into this desert to starve this entire assembly to death.” Numbers 13 (NIV) 30 Then Caleb silenced the people before Moses and said, “We should go up and take possession of the land, for we can certainly do it.” 31 But the men who had gone up with him said, “We can't attack those people; they are stronger than we are.” 32 And they spread among the Israelites a bad report about the land they had explored. They said, “The land we explored devours those living in it. All the people we saw there are of great size. 33 We saw the Nephilim there (the descendants of Anak come from the Nephilim). We seemed like grasshoppers in our own eyes, and we looked the same to them.” Exodus 14 (ESV)11 They said to Moses, “Is it because there are no graves in Egypt that you have taken us away to die in the wilderness? What have you done to us in bringing us out of Egypt? 12 Is not this what we said to you in Egypt: ‘Leave us alone that we may serve the Egyptians'? For it would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in the wilderness.” 13 And Moses said to the people, “Fear not, stand firm, and see the salvation of the Lord”

The Spy Report That Cost 40 Years by Autumn Dickson The Israelites are wandering in the wilderness before they're led to the promised land. They're having experiences with God and learning difficult lessons. They're being provided for even if it's not everything they had in mind. They have had experiences of faith as well as experiences where they betrayed the witnesses they had received. Let's talk about one of the times they were rebellious and unfaithful. In Numbers 13, Moses sends twelve spies (one from each tribe) into Canaan. Depending on where you read in the bible (see Deuteronomy 1), the timelines differ slightly. One suggests the people wanted to spy; one suggests the Lord recommended it. Either way, the church seems to emphasize the Lord's approval of the mission. The spies come back with the following report. Numbers 13:27 27 And they told him, and said, We came unto the land whither thou sentest us, and surely it floweth with milk and honey; and this is the fruit of it. They then warned of the city's defenses. Caleb encouraged the people to have faith, but ten of the other spies continued on with their report. Numbers 13:31-33 31 But the men that went up with him said, We be not able to go up against the people; for they are stronger than we. 32 And they brought up an evil report of the land which they had searched unto the children of Israel, saying, The land, through which we have gone to search it, is a land that eateth up the inhabitants thereof; and all the people that we saw in it are men of a great stature. 33 And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight. It's important to understand that Canaan was the promised land. It is eventually (mostly) conquered by the Israelites and divided out amongst the tribes. The Lord had led them through this entire experience from slavery to the edge of the land of promise, only for them to believe they wouldn't be able to take the land. So what does this teach us? Your promised land is available. I'm not simply talking about the mansion being built for you on the other side. I'm talking about all the most important aspects of the promised land. Peace, contentment, joy, healthy relationships, all of these things are available to you. These are all crucial parts of our salvation and eternity. Sure, eternity also includes all of our needs being met and perfect bodies, but some of the most important portions of the promised land are available to us right now. So what kept the Israelites from inheriting the promised land sooner? A lack of faith. What keeps us from inheriting the portions of promised land that are available to us on this side of the veil? A lack of faith. That's it. That's the first step on this journey towards your promised land. The Israelites didn't need military might or impeccable strategy. They needed faith. You don't need all of the things you think you need. You just need to trust the Lord. It's enough for you to see the land flowing with milk and honey and say, “The Lord meant for me to have that.” Sometimes it's hard to feel that way when you see what you're up against; namely, all of your own flaws and mistakes and imperfections. The Israelites certainly didn't feel capable. However, you're not conquering the land for yourself; you're showing up for the Lord to conquer it for you. So how do we do better than the Israelites so it doesn't take us forty years to figure out how to be in the promised land? Well if our problem is a lack of faith, maybe we should look at increasing faith. Here is one recommendation from Bednar on how to do that. The enabling power of the Atonement is accessed by faith in Jesus Christ. And that faith is strengthened as we remember and acknowledge the hand of the Lord in our lives. Remembering and acknowledging the Lord → Faith → Enabling power of the atonement of Jesus Christ steps in and gets us where we need to go Would the Israelites have felt differently if all the spies had come back and started with a list of the ways the Lord had provided for them from the time they were in slavery? If they had started off with the miraculous infant survival of Moses to the steps right outside the promised land, it would have been a long list. There were many times that the Israelites didn't even lift a finger for their own freedom and survival; the Lord took it completely on Himself. And that's just the list of the society as a whole. How many personal miracles did the Israelites experience from family to family? Would it have changed how the Israelites approached this experience? I'm not sure, but I know it's changed how I approach my own life. I think that's partially why my prayers have been so powerful in my life, specifically the gratitude. When I'm facing a situation of uncertainty or tragedy, I pray. There are so many wonderful ways to pray and draw closer to the Lord, but one of the most powerful ways I've found is to start with true gratitude (even when it's mixed with sorrow or fear or anger). When I'm struggling, I don't list nice things that happened throughout the day. I consciously think of similar situations in the past where the Lord has shown up for me. By the end of the prayer, I often find myself in some version of the promised land, even if the obstacle wasn't removed. I testify that the Lord has saved you many times before this, and He will continue to save you in the future. He will continue to teach you the lessons He needs to teach you until you're ready to step into that promised land He has offered each of us despite mortal circumstances. I testify that if we take the time to record these miracles and tender mercies, it makes our faith powerful. Autumn Dickson was born and raised in a small town in Texas.
