Daily Voice Devotional with Niyi AdekunleSaturday, 3rd MayThe Faith Framework 3As we continue study, we're drawing inspiration from the story of the persistent widow in Luke 18:1-8. She had approached the unrighteous city judge to demand justice from her adversary, but because he had no regard for God or people, he paid no attention to her. She refused to give up, when the unrighteous judge saw her determination to get justice, he answered and gave her and gave her all she wanted.At the end of the parable, Jesus posed a profound question: “When the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on the earth?” This question remains as relevant today as it was then.Let's see how this question is asked in different translation of the Bible (Luke. 18:8):MKJV: “He will avenge them speedily. Yet when the Son of Man comes, shall He find faith on the earth?”TPT: “God will give swift justice to those who don't give up. So be ever praying, ever expecting... Will He find this kind of undying faith on earth?”AMPC: “He will defend and protect and avenge them speedily. However, when the Son of Man comes, will He find [persistent] faith on the earth?”Yes, Jesus will find faith—because it takes faith to believe in Him. But He's not referring to this kind of faith. Here, he's talking about the faith it takes to receive the manifestation of God's promise. It's truly getting rare. This kind of faith stands its ground. It doesn't waver with time or pressure. We sing the song, “God said it, I believe it, that settles it...” But are we truly standing until the manifestation comes? Today, God is calling us to stand firm, believe, and persist until His promises become reality in our lives.I pray your faith will be strengthened through this study and you will experience new levels of manifestation in Jesus' Name.God bless you, enjoy your day.

The Incredible Power Words of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior!On Luke 9 Thank God.

Recorded live at Word of Life Church in Le Sueur, Minnesota, on February 23, 2024, Pastor Nick Olson preaching.Powered by Restream https://restream.io/(Bensound Royality Free background music)

Topic: Serving and Celebrating the Message of Peace Purpose: This message will focus on a life dedicated to the message of salvation and peace. Simeon was faithful into old age, waiting for and pointing people to God's Savior. He is content to just catch a first glimpse of God's solution to the sin problem. The gift of God is for all people (the nations & Israel). Our greatest joy is to receive and distribute the good news; to play a role in God's great plan. Bible: Luke 2:25-35

Topic: Receiving God's Peace, Relationship between Humility and Blessing Purpose: This message will focus on the special peace (salvation) that comes to those who come under God's favor (receive grace). The people who heard this utterance are strategic. They were simple shepherds, showing us that salvation is offered to all and can only be received by the lowly of heart. We will look at the incarnation as having two great objects: bringing peace to earth and bringing glory to God (vs. 14). Bible: Luke 2:8-17

Topic: Peace with God, Inner Peace, Peace with Others Purpose: This message come from Zechariah's song after he regained his voice. Zechariah was celebrating that his son (John) would lead people to the Savior and Messiah. We will focus first on finding peace (with God, with ourselves, with others) through Jesus. Then we will focus on Walking in Peace, being transformed by the peace bringer. Bible: Luke 1:64-79

“My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me? Why are You so far from helping Me, And from the words of My groaning? O My God, I cry in the daytime, but You do not hear; And in the night season, and am not silent. But You are holy, Enthroned in the praises of Israel. Our fathers trusted in You; They trusted, and You delivered them. They cried to You, and were delivered; They trusted in You, and were not ashamed.   There is no chapter in the whole Bible that gives us a picture of the suffering of the Lord Jesus Christ on the Cross like Psalm 22.  I don't think we can ever in our finite minds fully comprehend and understand the suffering that Christ endured while on the Cross.  This chapter helps us to get a glimpse of the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual agony of Christ during the six hours that He hung on the cross.  And this chapter was written by King David one-thousand years before Christ was even born.   David is the author, but we have a difficult time finding an occasion in his life that would call forth this kind of psalm. According to the record, the Lord never deserted him in his hour of need but always provided friends to help him and deliverance from his enemies. The intense suffering described here isn't that of a sick man in bed or a soldier in battle. It's the description of a criminal being executed!   Numerous quotations from the psalm in the four Gospels, as well as Hebrews 2:10-12, indicate that this is a Messianic psalm. We may not know how this psalm related to the author's personal experience, but we do know that David was a prophet (Acts 2:30), and in this psalm he wrote about the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The first part (vv. 1-21) focuses on prayer and suffering and takes us to the cross, while the second part (vv. 22-31) announces the resurrection and expresses praise to the glory of God.   An understanding of Messiah's suffering and glory is basic to grasping the message of the Bible (Luke 24:25-27; 1 Peter 1:11). The opening words of the psalm immediately transport us to Calvary, for Jesus quoted them at the close of a three-hour period of darkness (vv. 1-2; Matt. 27:45-46; Mark 15:34). "I am not alone," Jesus had told His disciples, "because the Father is with me" (John 16:32), and yet He cried out that the Lord had forsaken Him. When He spoke these words, He had been engaged in a mysterious transaction with the Father, dying for the sins of the world (1 John 2:2; 4:14).   On the cross, Jesus was "made sin for us who knew no sin" (2 Cor. 5:21) and made "a curse" (Gal. 3:13) for us. In some inexplicable way He experienced what condemned lost sinners experience "away from the presence of the Lord" (2 Thess. 1:9; Matthew 25:41). I personally believe, that in a way that only God really knows, Jesus suffered an eternity in hell, separated from God during those last three hours of darkness from noon to 3pm on the Cross.   This cry to “My God” was both in the “daytime and in the night season”.  Remember Jesus was crucified around 9am in the morning when the sun was brightly shining.  Then at noon, the Gospel of Matthew records: “Now from the sixth hour until the ninth hour there was darkness over all the land. And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, "Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?" that is, "My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?" (Matthew 27:45-46).   My friend, have you ever trusted Jesus to be your Lord and Savior? If not, why not right now take the time to invite Him into your heart and life!   God bless!

Episode #179 Jesus' Gospel story is told, by God's design, from 4 different perspectives. Matthew tells if a Lion of Judah— a Jewish perspective. Mark emphasizes Jesus as the ‘sacrifice' for sin. John reveals Jesus from a ‘heavenly view (which is shying is called the ‘Eagle Gospel'. Then there is Luke! The only non-Jewish author in the Bible — Luke, the doctor and historian— writes of Jesus from a ‘human perspective'. His life, his family, his friends. Luke is written to show Jesus came to die for ALL MANKIND.

Excuses in the Bible Luke 14:15-24 Even when God offers blessings, we can come up with reasons not to accept them. Genesis 3:8-13 Excuses…

The Resurrection of the Widow's SonJesus Ruins Funerals - Part 1Springcreek Church | Senior Pastor Keith StewartMarch 10, 2024#realspringcreekchurch #jesusruinsfunerals #resurrection #countdowntoeaster #easter #jesus #miracle #hopeforthehurting #hope https://www.springcreekchurch.org/Death is unfair. It takes from us our family and friends regardless of how much they're needed or loved. In this resurrection miracle, we see God's heart for us when ours is broken, how He meets us in our pain, and in the end, what He intends to do with life's greatest losses. It's a message of hope for the hurting but it's more than that. It's also a picture of what Christ Himself did for all of us. Join us in our countdown to Easter as we lean into the resurrection miracles in the gospels and discover the hope they bring into our lives today.SERIES | Jesus Ruins FuneralsLosing a loved one is stressful enough then planning the funeral of a loved one adds even more stress. I love Jesus but He sure knows how to mess up a funeral. Think about it. You've paid the funeral home. Bought the cemetery plot and casket. You've invited all the guests then Jesus shows up and wrecks the whole plan in a wonderfully glorious way. In the days leading up to Easter, we're going to spend some time examining how Jesus responds to death. This is a series full of hope about what Jesus will one day do for all of us, too.DISCUSSION QUESTIONS1. What was your first experience with death? How did it affect you? Who was there to comfort you? How was death explained to you?2. Compassion, as Pastor Keith shared, is more than a feeling. It's an action. Compassion compels us to do something about whatever has captured our hearts. How has compassion for someone or some circumstance compelled you to do something more than feel the pain of those involved?3. Re-read this resurrection account again in the Bible (Luke 7.11-17). What did you learn about this story? What stands out most to you? How does this story challenge you? Encourage you? Build your faith? Put yourself in the shoes of this widow and try to imagine what she was feeling before and after this miracle. Describe that transformation. Now imagine that time when we all stand in the presence of God and He does this restoration of life and relationship for each and every one of us. There's coming a time when our losses will also be reversed – a time of restoration – because resurrection life is our guaranteed future. What does that day mean to you?4. Miracles are previews of coming attractions. Evidence of what God intends to do one day for us all. Proof of what He's willing to do to set things right. In thinking of this and the other 37 recorded miracles of Christ in the gospels, what else do we know that God wants – is willing to do – will one day do for us all?
