1 Thessalonians 5 reminds us that the Scriptures provide graphic detail of the times (Greek ‘chronos' which God has explicitly revealed through His Scriptures and particularly in His prophetic word) and that He has adjusted ie patterned the world's eras around His Son, the Christ (Hebrews 11:1). Time in this chapter is made up of longer periods called “times” and shorter periods known as “seasons”. The shorter seasons characterised by specific signs compel us to believe that our Lord's coming is imminent (Luke 21 verses 24-36). These signs urge us to watchfulness and to lives that are consistent with us being the children of the DAY. That is the day soon to dawn when the sun of righteousness will arise with healing (Malachi 4 verse 1). We are exhorted us to lives consistent with the character required of the children of our Father in verses 4-11. The chapter concludes with patterns of behaviour befitting the children of the kingdom (cp 2 Peter 3 verses 10-18).

Title: Jesus Is the True VineMain Text: John 15:1-11Key Points:The Vine, the Vinedresser, and the BranchesJesus is the true vine, the Father is the gardener, and we are the branches.True believers bear fruit. Fruit doesn't lead to salvation—it proves salvation.There are two types of branches: those that bear fruit and are pruned, and those that bear no fruit and are cut off.Dead Branches: Divine JudgmentBranches that don't remain in Christ are thrown away, wither, and are burned (John 15:6).Dead branches drain life, invite disease, and block light and growth—for themselves and others.Judgment is not passive—it's just, and it reveals true spiritual condition.Fruitful Branches: Divine DisciplineGod prunes fruitful branches so they bear even more fruit.Pruning is painful, but it's an act of love that draws us deeper into dependence on Christ (Hebrews 12:6, 2 Corinthians 1:8-9).Spiritual growth often comes through trials.Abide in the VineRemain. Abide. Stay close. Jesus says, “Apart from me you can do nothing.”Remaining doesn't make you a disciple—it proves that you are one.If you were hurt in community, healing happens in community.Fruit = LoveJesus' command is clear: “Love one another as I have loved you.”His joy becomes our joy when we obey His commands and live a life marked by sacrifice and love.Final Question:Are you bearing fruit? What season are you in? The goal isn't to force fruit—it's to stay close to the vine.

Pastor John Keating The author of Hebrews was writing to a group of Christians who had converted from Judaism. The entire book of Hebrews aims to encourage discouraged Christians. In these chapters, the author draws upon their Jewish experiences by referring to Jesus as their compassionate and helpful High Priest.  Hebrews 5:4-5a, 7-9 (NLT)- Jesus's role in our lives is not limited to the one who brought us Salvation.- Because of His sacrifice, He is qualified to be this High Priest on our behalf before God! - A High Priest in a Jewish community would spend time reading the Torah, sharing stories of their Jewish heritage, and explaining or answering questions about passages of the Torah people didn't understand.  This relationship with the High Priest was intended to be intentional and ongoing and help people grow in their understanding of who God was. - The author reminds Christians that their relationship with Jesus should be intentional and ongoing!  If you have a daily relationship with someone, you know them, experience them, and value them! The encouragement is to see Jesus as the High Priest with us daily, be intimate in prayer, and appreciate Him so much that we are compelled to know Him better! Doing this could transform our lives… but we get this warning of reality!!! Hebrews 5:11 (NLT)- Airplane Christian- Romans 10:17 (NLT) Hebrews 5:12-6:3 (NLT)- This is for seasoned Christians- Baby Christians vs. Maturity- Pastor isn't feeding me…- Feed Yourself.- Psalm 34:8 (NLT)How mature is your faith?  What level of influence does Christ have on you?- Imitation of Christ Hebrews 7:26-28 (NLT)

Jesus plainly tells us in Matthew 7:1 that we are not to judge others. Ah, if only it were that easy! The fact of the matter is, the New Testament gives us many examples of things we are to make judgments about. At first glance, this can sound like a massive contradiction. Don't judge! Wait; DO judge, and here is your list! As with any apparent Bible contradiction, all we need to do is understand the two apparently differing views in their appropriate context and we will end up with a harmonious and powerful lesson. The reason our Christian responsibility towards judgment comes across this way is to remind us of the importance of how we do things. Standing as a representative of Jesus means working to respond to all things the way Jesus did. On this episode, we explore Jesus' instructions in Matthew 7:1-2: “Do not judge so that you will not be judged.” While this statement seems straightforward, the New Testament provides instances where judgment is necessary, creating an apparent contradiction. However, this paradox is resolved when judgment is understood within its proper context, as actions guided by humility, self-awareness and Christlike love. Warnings Against Judgment Jesus cautions against judgment with wrong motives, such as jealousy, self-righteousness or revenge. The “speck and log” analogy (Matthew 7:3-5) highlights the need for self-examination before addressing others' flaws. Without addressing personal faults, one's judgment becomes hypocritical and destructive. Proper Judgment as a Responsibility Righteous judgment is required in certain circumstances: Disputes within the Christian community: 1 Corinthians 6 advises resolving conflicts among Christians rather than relying on secular courts. Identifying false prophets: Matthew 7:15-20 calls for discerning false teachers through their actions and “fruits,” ensuring biblical integrity. Addressing moral issues: 1 Corinthians 5 stresses confronting immoral behavior within the church with humility and firmness. Selecting church leaders: 1 Timothy 3 outlines qualifications for overseers, emphasizing Christlike character. Acts 14 describes congregations independently electing their leaders. Defending the gospel: Christians are tasked with guarding the gospel's purity (Galatians 1:6-8) and refuting distorted teachings. Guidelines for Righteous Judgment To judge righteously, Christians must align their actions with scriptural principles and examine their motivations. They must avoid presuming others' motives and practice empathy to soften judgment. The ultimate goal is to glorify God through humility and love. Jesus exemplified righteous judgment and humility, choosing not to retaliate against his persecutors. His teachings emphasize focusing on personal growth, achieving “sanctified eyesight” by fixing one's eyes on Christ (Hebrews 12:1-2). This clear, single-minded focus enables Christians to judge with compassion and wisdom. Romans 14 reminds believers to respect differences in faith practices, refraining from judging others in matters of conscience and personal convictions. Practical Applications Judgment should never be arbitrary or lead with ego. Instead, Christians are to approach situations with humility, scriptural insight and a genuine desire to uplift others. By prioritizing empathy and understanding, they can avoid toxic, superficial judgments. While Christians are called to judge in specific circumstances, they must approach judgment with humility and godliness, ensuring their actions mirror Christ. The focus remains on fostering love, good deeds and mutual encouragement within the faith community. Ultimately, righteous judgment glorifies God and strengthens Christlike character.

June’s eyes were fixed on the gray car beside her. She had to change lanes to exit the highway, but each time she tried to overtake it, the other driver seemed to speed up too. Finally, she managed to cut in front. Smug in her moment of triumph, June looked in the rearview mirror and smirked. At the same time, she noticed her destination exit passing her by. With a rueful smile, she recounted: “I was so fixated on overtaking that I missed my exit.” Such a slip can also happen in our desire to walk in God’s ways. When the religious leaders persecuted Jesus for not keeping the Jewish law (John 5:16), He warned that they’d become so fixated on studying and enforcing the law that they were missing the person the law pointed to: “These are the very Scriptures that testify about me, yet you refuse to come to me to have life” (vv. 39-40). In trying to be right before God, the religious leaders focused on following the Jewish law and making sure everyone else did too. Likewise, in our zeal for God, we may keep up with good things—church attendance, Bible study, charity work—and even get others to join us. But we can become so focused on them that we miss the person we’re doing them for—Jesus. In all we do, let’s ask God to help us fix our eyes on Christ (Hebrews 12:2). He alone is “the way and the truth and the life” (John 14:6).

Undaunted Pursuit Podcast: Back to Hebrews Bible Study – Understanding Our Savior (Hebrews 2) Welcome back to Undaunted Pursuit with Marshall and Aaron! After several weeks of exciting guests, we're diving back into our Bible study in Hebrews. This episode focuses on Hebrews 2, where we are reminded of the importance of paying close attention to the message of salvation to avoid drifting away. We reflect on Christ's superiority and how crucial it is to hold firm to our faith in Him. Key Points: Understanding Our Savior (Hebrews 2:1-18) Recap from Chapter 1: Jesus is greater than the prophets and angels. Why We Must Listen to Christ (Hebrews 2:1-4): The consequence of neglecting salvation leads to eternal death. The warning: "Do not drift away," especially in today's distraction-filled world. What distractions cause you to drift from your faith? How do you stay anchored? We look to passages like 1 John 4:1-6 and 2 Timothy 4:2-4 for guidance on staying firm. The Armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-17): How each piece helps us remain steadfast in faith. The Authoritative Voice of Christ (Hebrews 2:2-3): Galatians 3:24 and James 2:10 highlight the importance of Christ's message over the law. If people who ignored the law were punished, how much more for those who neglect Jesus? God's Testimony through Signs and Wonders (Hebrews 2:4): The Holy Spirit works through us, distributing gifts according to God's will. His gifts serve a specific purpose and may change based on the circumstances. Exciting News! Marshall and his wife are expecting a baby!

Some teach that Christians need to keep the Old Testament Sabbath which forbids physical work from Friday at sundown to Saturday evening. But Scripture teaches that the Sabbath was merely a shadow of the spiritual rest we enjoy in Christ (Hebrews 10:1). All who believe in Jesus enter a spiritual rest because of His finished work (Hebrews 4:3).

2024.07.28 - Run for Christ (Hebrews 12:1-3) by Emmanuel Baptist Church

The Real Good News (15) - All Needs Supplied in Christ Philippians 1:6 being confident of this very thing, that he who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Jesus Christ: Colossians 1:27 to whom God was pleased to make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: Matthew 21:22 And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive. Mark 11:24 Therefore I say unto you, All things whatsoever ye pray and ask for, believe that ye received them, and ye shall have them. Philippians 4:19 And my God shall supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus. 2 Corinthians 12:9 And he hath said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my power is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Ephesians 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ: 1 John 2:24 As for you, let that abide in you which ye heard from the beginning. If that which ye heard from the beginning abide in you, ye also shall abide in the Son, and in the Father. Jude 1:3 Beloved, while I was giving all diligence to write unto you of our common salvation, I was constrained to write unto you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered unto the saints. 1 John 2:6 he that saith he abideth in him ought himself also to walk even as he walked. 1 John 3:6 Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither knoweth him. James 4:17 To him therefore that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin. Hebrews 10:26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more a sacrifice for sins, Hebrews 10:27 but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and a fierceness of fire which shall devour the adversaries. 1 John 3:5 And ye know that he was manifested to take away sins; and in him is no sin. 1 Corinthians 6:18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body. Philippians 4:19 And my God shall supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus. Mark 11:24 Therefore I say unto you, All things whatsoever ye pray and ask for, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. Galatians 3:11 Now that no man is justified by the law before God, is evident: for, The righteous shall live by faith; Matthew 10:9 Get you no gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses; Matthew 10:10 no wallet for your journey, neither two coats, nor shoes, nor staff: for the laborer is worthy of his food. Galatians 3:13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us; for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: Galatians 3:14 that upon the Gentiles might come the blessing of Abraham in Christ Jesus; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. Genesis 24:1 And Abraham was old, and well stricken in age: and Jehovah had blessed Abraham in all things. Ephesians 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ: Galatians 3:15 Brethren, I speak after the manner of men: Though it be but a man's covenant, yet when it hath been confirmed, no one maketh it void, or addeth thereto. Galatians 3:16 Now to Abraham were the promises spoken, and to his seed. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ. Romans 4:13 For not through the law was the promise to Abraham or to his seed that he should be heir of the world, but through the righteousness of faith. 1 Corinthians 3:21 Wherefore let no one glory in men. For all things are yours; Romans 8:17 and if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified with him. Ephesians 1:21 far above all rule, and authority, and power, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: Romans 4:16 For this cause it is of faith, that it may be according to grace; to the end that the promise may be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all Galatians 3:16 Now to Abraham were the promises spoken, and to his seed. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ. Galatians 3:14 that upon the Gentiles might come the blessing of Abraham in Christ Jesus; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. 1 John 5:11 And the witness is this, that God gave unto us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 1 John 3:5 And ye know that he was manifested to take away sins; and in him is no sin. James 4:17 To him therefore that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin. Hebrews 10:26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more a sacrifice for sins, Galatians 3:17 Now this I say: A covenant confirmed beforehand by God, the law, which came four hundred and thirty years after, doth not disannul, so as to make the promise of none effect. Luke 10:7 And in that same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give: for the laborer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house. Galatians 3:18 For if the inheritance is of the law, it is no more of promise: but God hath granted it to Abraham by promise. Galatians 3:19 What then is the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise hath been made; and it was ordained through angels by the hand of a mediator. Romans 10:4 For Christ is the end of the law unto righteousness to every one that believeth. Romans 8:17 and if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified with him. Genesis 15:18 In that day Jehovah made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates: Matthew 24:50 the lord of that servant shall come in a day when he expecteth not, and in an hour when he knoweth not, Matthew 24:51 and shall cut him asunder, and appoint his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth. Hebrews 7:22 by so much also hath Jesus become the surety of a better covenant. Hebrews 8:6 But now hath he obtained a ministry the more excellent, by so much as he is also the mediator of a better covenant, which hath been enacted upon better promises. Genesis 15:12 And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and, lo, a horror of great darkness fell upon him. Ephesians 6:12 For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world-rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Colossians 1:19 For it was the good pleasure of the Father that in him should all the fulness dwell; Colossians 1:16 for in him were all things created, in the heavens and upon the earth, things visible and things invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers; all things have been created through him, and unto him; Colossians 1:17 and he is before all things, and in him all things consist. Colossians 1:18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence. Colossians 1:19 For it was the good pleasure of the Father that in him should all the fulness dwell; Colossians 1:20 and through him to reconcile all things unto himself, having made peace through the blood of his cross; through him, I say, whether things upon the earth, or things in the heavens. Genesis 15:12 And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and, lo, a horror of great darkness fell upon him. Genesis 15:13 And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be sojourners in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years; Genesis 15:14 and also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance. Genesis 15:15 But thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age. Genesis 15:16 And in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorite is not yet full. Genesis 15:17 And it came to pass, that, when the sun went down, and it was dark, behold, a smoking furnace, and a flaming torch that passed between these pieces. Deuteronomy 4:24 For Jehovah thy God is a devouring fire, a jealous God. Malachi 3:2 But who can abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner's fire, and like fullers' soap: Malachi 3:3 and he will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver, and he will purify the sons of Levi, and refine them as gold and silver; and they shall offer unto Jehovah offerings in righteousness. Malachi 3:4 Then shall the offering of Judah and Jerusalem be pleasant unto Jehovah, as in the days of old, and as in ancient years. Deuteronomy 9:1 Hear, O Israel: thou art to pass over the Jordan this day, to go in to dispossess nations greater and mightier than thyself, cities great and fortified up to heaven, Hebrews 6:7 For the land which hath drunk the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them for whose sake it is also tilled, receiveth blessing from God: Deuteronomy 9:2 a people great and tall, the sons of the Anakim, whom thou knowest, and of whom thou hast heard say, Who can stand before the sons of Anak? Deuteronomy 9:3 Know therefore this day, that Jehovah thy God is he who goeth over before thee as a devouring fire; he will destroy them, and he will bring them down before thee: so shalt thou drive them out, and make them to perish quickly, as Jehovah hath spoken unto thee. Psalms 119:105 NUN. Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, And light unto my path. Genesis 15:18 In that day Jehovah made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates: Malachi 3:11 And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast its fruit before the time in the field, saith Jehovah of hosts. Malachi 3:12 And all nations shall call you happy; for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith Jehovah of hosts. Ephesians 6:17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: Galatians 2:20 I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I that live, but Christ liveth in me: and that life which I now live in the flesh I live in faith, the faith which is in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself up for me. 2 Peter 1:3 seeing that his divine power hath granted unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that called us by his own glory and virtue; Romans 4:13 For not through the law was the promise to Abraham or to his seed that he should be heir of the world, but through the righteousness of faith. 1 John 2:6 he that saith he abideth in him ought himself also to walk even as he walked. Matthew 6:19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon the earth, where moth and rust consume, and where thieves break through and steal: Matthew 6:20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth consume, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: Matthew 6:21 for where thy treasure is, there will thy heart be also. Ephesians 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ: Luke 12:33 Sell that which ye have, and give alms; make for yourselves purses which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief draweth near, neither moth destroyeth. Luke 12:34 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. 1 John 3:17 But whoso hath the world's goods, and beholdeth his brother in need, and shutteth up his compassion from him, how doth the love of God abide in him? Luke 18:22 And when Jesus heard it, he said unto him, One thing thou lackest yet: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me. Matthew 6:21 for where thy treasure is, there will thy heart be also. Matthew 6:22 The lamp of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. Matthew 6:23 But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is the darkness! Matthew 6:24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. Luke 14:33 So therefore whosoever he be of you that renounceth not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple. Matthew 23:23 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye tithe mint and anise and cummin, and have left undone the weightier matters of the law, justice, and mercy, and faith: but these ye ought to have done, and not to have left the other undone. Matthew 6:25 Therefore I say unto you, Be not anxious for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than the food, and the body than the raiment? Matthew 6:26 Behold the birds of the heaven, that they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; and your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are not ye of much more value than they? Matthew 6:27 And which of you by being anxious can add one cubit unto the measure of his life? Matthew 6:28 And why are ye anxious concerning raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: Matthew 6:29 yet I say unto you, that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Matthew 6:30 But if God doth so clothe the grass of the field, which to-day is, and to-morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? Matthew 6:31 Be not therefore anxious, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? Matthew 6:32 For after all these things do the Gentiles seek; for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first his kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Matthew 6:34 Be not therefore anxious for the morrow: for the morrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. The Real Good News (16) - Treasures in Heaven Philippians 2:13 for it is God who worketh in you both to will and to work, for his good pleasure. Ephesians 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ: Hebrews 10:32 But call to remembrance the former days, in which, after ye were enlightened, ye endured a great conflict of sufferings; Hebrews 10:33 partly, being made a gazingstock both by reproaches and afflictions; and partly, becoming partakers with them that were so used. Hebrews 10:34 For ye both had compassion on them that were in bonds, and took joyfully the spoiling of your possessions, knowing that ye have for yourselves a better possession and an abiding one. Matthew 6:19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon the earth, where moth and rust consume, and where thieves break through and steal: Matthew 6:20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth consume, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: Revelation 12:6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that there they may nourish her a thousand two hundred and threescore days. Luke 12:31 Yet seek ye his kingdom, and these things shall be added unto you. Luke 12:32 Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom. Matthew 6:26 Behold the birds of the heaven, that they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; and your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are not ye of much more value than they? Luke 12:33 Sell that which ye have, and give alms; make for yourselves purses which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief draweth near, neither moth destroyeth. Luke 12:18 And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my grain and my goods. Luke 12:19 And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, be merry. Luke 12:20 But God said unto him, Thou foolish one, this night is thy soul required of thee; and the things which thou hast prepared, whose shall they be? Luke 12:21 So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God. Luke 6:38 give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, shall they give into your bosom. For with what measure ye mete it shall be measured to you again. Luke 21:2 And he saw a certain poor widow casting in thither two mites. Luke 21:3 And he said, Of a truth I say unto you, This poor widow cast in more than they all: Luke 18:22 And when Jesus heard it, he said unto him, One thing thou lackest yet: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me. Matthew 10:7 And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand. Matthew 10:8 Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons: freely ye received, freely give. Matthew 10:9 Get you no gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses; Matthew 10:10 no wallet for your journey, neither two coats, nor shoes, nor staff: for the laborer is worthy of his food. Luke 22:35 And he said unto them, When I sent you forth without purse, and wallet, and shoes, lacked ye anything? And they said, Nothing. Luke 22:36 And he said unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise a wallet; and he that hath none, let him sell his cloak, and buy a sword. Luke 22:37 For I say unto you, that this which is written must be fulfilled in me, And he was reckoned with transgressors: for that which concerneth me hath fulfilment. Galatians 3:11 Now that no man is justified by the law before God, is evident: for, The righteous shall live by faith; Genesis 37:14 And he said to him, Go now, see whether it is well with thy brethren, and well with the flock; and bring me word again. So he sent him out of the vale of Hebron, and he came to Shechem. Genesis 37:11 And his brethren envied him; but his father kept the saying in mind. 2 Corinthians 3:6 who also made us sufficient as ministers of a new covenant; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life. Genesis 37:18 And they saw him afar off, and before he came near unto them, they conspired against him to slay him. John 1:11 He came unto his own, and they that were his own received him not. Genesis 37:19 And they said one to another, Behold, this dreamer cometh. Genesis 37:20 Come now therefore, and let us slay him, and cast him into one of the pits, and we will say, An evil beast hath devoured him: and we shall see what will become of his dreams. Mark 14:41 And he cometh the third time, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: it is enough; the hour is come; behold, the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. 2 Peter 1:5 Yea, and for this very cause adding on your part all diligence, in your faith supply virtue; and in your virtue knowledge; 2 Peter 1:6 and in your knowledge self-control; and in your self-control patience; and in your patience godliness; 2 Peter 1:7 and in your godliness brotherly kindness; and in your brotherly kindness love. Genesis 37:27 Come, and let us sell him to the Ishmaelites, and let not our hand be upon him; for he is our brother, our flesh. And his brethren hearkened unto him. Genesis 37:28 And there passed by Midianites, merchantmen; and they drew and lifted up Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmaelites for twenty pieces of silver. And they brought Joseph into Egypt. Matthew 26:15 and said, What are ye willing to give me, and I will deliver him unto you? And they weighed unto him thirty pieces of silver. Genesis 37:33 And he knew it, and said, It is my son's coat: an evil beast hath devoured him; Joseph is without doubt torn in pieces. Genesis 37:36 And the Midianites sold him into Egypt unto Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh's, the captain of the guard. Matthew 27:2 and they bound him, and led him away, and delivered him up to Pilate the governor. Genesis 39:1 And Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh's, the captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him of the hand of the Ishmaelites, that had brought him down thither. Revelation 17:3 And he carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness: and I saw a woman sitting upon a scarlet-colored beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. Genesis 39:12 And she caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me: and he left his garment in her hand, and fled, and got him out. 1 Corinthians 6:15 Know ye not that your bodies are members of Christ? shall I then take away the members of Christ, and make them members of a harlot? God forbid. 1 Corinthians 6:16 Or know ye not that he that is joined to a harlot is one body? for, The twain, saith he, shall become one flesh. 1 Corinthians 6:17 But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit. 1 Corinthians 6:18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body. Revelation 17:6 And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. And when I saw her, I wondered with a great wonder. Genesis 39:17 And she spake unto him according to these words, saying, The Hebrew servant, whom thou hast brought unto us, came in unto me to mock me: Genesis 39:18 and it came to pass, as I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment by me, and fled out. Genesis 39:20 And Joseph's master took him, and put him into the prison, the place where the king's prisoners were bound: and he was there in the prison. 1 Peter 3:19 in which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison, Luke 16:23 And in Hades he lifted up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. John 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except one be born anew, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Ephesians 4:8 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended on high, he led captivity captive, And gave gifts unto men. Genesis 39:22 And the keeper of the prison committed to Joseph's hand all the prisoners that were in the prison; and whatsoever they did there, he was the doer of it. Genesis 41:1 And it came to pass at the end of two full years, that Pharaoh dreamed: and, behold, he stood by the river. Matthew 12:40 for as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the whale; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. 2 Peter 3:8 But forget not this one thing, beloved, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. 2 Corinthians 3:18 But we all, with unveiled face beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord the Spirit. Galatians 2:20 I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I that live, but Christ liveth in me: and that life which I now live in the flesh I live in faith, the faith which is in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself up for me. Ecclesiastes 1:9 That which hath been is that which shall be; and that which hath been done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun. John 16:21 A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but when she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for the joy that a man is born into the world. Colossians 1:27 to whom God was pleased to make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: Revelation 4:1 After these things I saw, and behold, a door opened in heaven, and the first voice that I heard, a voice as of a trumpet speaking with me, one saying, Come up hither, and I will show thee the things which must come to pass hereafter. Revelation 12:5 And she was delivered of a son, a man child, who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and unto his throne. Genesis 41:29 Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt: Genesis 41:30 and there shall arise after them seven years of famine; and all the plenty shall be forgotten in the land of Egypt; and the famine shall consume the land; Revelation 12:6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that there they may nourish her a thousand two hundred and threescore days. Genesis 41:31 and the plenty shall not be known in the land by reason of that famine which followeth; for it shall be very grievous. Romans 1:3 concerning his Son, who was born of the seed of David according to the flesh, Romans 1:4 who was declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead; even Jesus Christ our Lord, Genesis 41:40 thou shalt be over my house, and according unto thy word shall all my people be ruled: only in the throne will I be greater than thou. Matthew 28:18 And Jesus came to them and spake unto them, saying, All authority hath been given unto me in heaven and on earth. Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them into the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit: Matthew 18:18 Verily I say unto you, What things soever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and what things soever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Mark 11:24 Therefore I say unto you, All things whatsoever ye pray and ask for, believe that ye received them, and ye shall have them. Genesis 41:43 and he made him to ride in the second chariot which he had; and they cried before him, Bow the knee: and he set him over all the land of Egypt. Romans 14:11 For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, to me every knee shall bow, And every tongue shall confess to God. Genesis 41:44 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I am Pharaoh, and without thee shall no man lift up his hand or his foot in all the land of Egypt. Genesis 41:45 And Pharaoh called Joseph's name Zaphenath-paneah; and he gave him to wife Asenath, the daughter of Poti-phera priest of On. And Joseph went out over the land of Egypt. Genesis 41:47 And in the seven plenteous years the earth brought forth by handfuls. Genesis 41:48 And he gathered up all the food of the seven years which were in the land of Egypt, and laid up the food in the cities: the food of the field, which was round about every city, laid he up in the same. Matthew 6:19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon the earth, where moth and rust consume, and where thieves break through and steal: Matthew 6:20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth consume, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: John 6:31 Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written, He gave them bread out of heaven to eat. Genesis 41:55 And when all the land of Egypt was famished, the people cried to Pharaoh for bread: and Pharaoh said unto all the Egyptians, Go unto Joseph; what he saith to you, do. Genesis 41:56 And the famine was over all the face of the earth: and Joseph opened all the store-houses, and sold unto the Egyptians; and the famine was sore in the land of Egypt. Luke 12:33 Sell that which ye have, and give alms; make for yourselves purses which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief draweth near, neither moth destroyeth. Genesis 42:7 And Joseph saw his brethren, and he knew them, but made himself strange unto them, and spake roughly with them; and he said unto them. Whence come ye? And they said, From the land of Canaan to buy food. Matthew 20:16 So the last shall be first, and the first last. Genesis 42:25 Then Joseph commanded to fill their vessels with grain, and to restore every man's money into his sack, and to give them provisions for the way: and thus was it done unto them. Genesis 42:26 And they laded their asses with their grain, and departed thence. Genesis 43:21 and it came to pass, when we came to the lodging-place, that we opened our sacks, and, behold, every man's money was in the mouth of his sack, our money in full weight: and we have brought it again in our hand. Genesis 43:23 And he said, Peace be to you, fear not: your God, and the God of your father, hath given you treasure in your sacks: I had your money. And he brought Simeon out unto them. Genesis 44:1 And he commanded the steward of his house, saying, Fill the men's sacks with food, as much as they can carry, and put every man's money in his sack's mouth. Genesis 45:6 For these two years hath the famine been in the land: and there are yet five years, in which there shall be neither plowing nor harvest. Genesis 45:20 Also regard not your stuff; for the good of all the land of Egypt is yours. Luke 18:22 And when Jesus heard it, he said unto him, One thing thou lackest yet: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.

Sunday Morning Expositional Message

In this final episode of our Sabbath series, we will take a look at why the Sabbath is so important, strategies on how to keep the Sabbath in a busy world and how it is fulfilled in Christ. We will also look at some important passages in Hebrews 3 and 4. According to these key verses, the most Christian thing we can do is to celebrate the Sabbath, as it is a picture of many things — including the day of Christ's return.

In a profoundly reflective exploration, the sermon delves into the unchanging nature of Christ amidst a world in constant flux. It contrasts the impermanence of creation, including humanity's shifting emotions, desires, and the physical world, with the eternal constancy of Jesus Christ as affirmed in Hebrews 13:8. This profound truth offers solace to believers facing life's uncertainties, anchoring their faith in the immutable character of Christ who remains the same across all ages. The discourse illuminates the theological concept of immutability—God's inability to change—highlighting its implications for Christ's divinity, steadfast love, and unwavering purposes toward humanity. ★ Support this podcast ★

 "Redemption Through the Blood of Christ" Hebrews 9:11-28 "Pastor Roberto Correa"

A lot of people don't like to hear about the inferiority of the Old Testament. But the Word of God says that the Mosaic law is only a shadow, not the reality itself. The reality is Jesus! He calls us much higher than the Old Testament. Let's serve God today not in the old letter of the law but in the newness of the Spirit, who gives us life.

Join Pastor Cameron as he discusses how Christ's active obedience is credited to the believer. We are counted righteous through our faith in what Christ has done!

Another caveat in scripture is that we must ask in faith (Matthew 21:22 and Mark 11:24) without wavering (James 1:5-7). But how do you make yourself believe something? Isn't that kind of like trying to make yourself fall asleep when you're awake at 3 am: the harder you try, the more elusive it becomes? The Bible addresses this question with the biblical concept of hope. Hope is to faith what a seed is to a plant. If you plant that seed in good soil, and you don't dig it up before it can germinate, and you water it and cultivate it and give it plenty of sunlight, eventually a plant will result. Hope is the positive side of imagination (more on how the Bible says you can get this to work in your favor in the podcast, The Power of Imagination https://www.drlaurendeville.com/the-power-of-imagination/). Another reason why some of us might struggle with believing we receive when we pray has to do with a sense of unworthiness. 1 John 3:19-23 tells us, "And by this we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before Him. For if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and knows all things. Dear friends, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God and receive from him anything we ask, because we obey his commands and do what pleases him.  And this is his command: to believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and to love one another as he commanded us." The concept here is that, while our consciences serve a good purpose, they are not infallible. It's possible for our hearts to condemn us falsely, which is why John says, "God is greater than our hearts." His word tells us that Jesus bore all our condemnation (Romans 8:1), and gave us His righteousness in exchange. We are now in right standing with God, and we can come boldly to the throne of grace to obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need (Hebrews 4:16). But if we don't believe that we are in right standing with God, if our conscience condemns us, it will shipwreck our faith (1 Timothy 1:19). We won't come boldly to the throne of grace. That's why we have to renew our minds with what God says about us, so that our consciences will no longer contradict the truth of who we are and what we have in Christ (Hebrews 10:22). At the end of Jesus' ministry, He said, "In that day you will no longer ask me anything.  I tell you the truth, my Father will give you whatever you ask in my name.  Until now you have not asked for anything in my name.  Ask and you will receive, and your joy will be complete," John 16:23-24. I know of two scriptural ways to interpret the idea of asking the Father in Jesus' name. One is the concept that, because we are in Christ and we are joint heirs with Him, everything that is His has now become ours (Eph 1:17-19). It's as if He's given us His "power of attorney": when we make a request of the Father, to God, it's just as if Jesus Himself had asked. We already have every spiritual blessing in heavenly places (Eph 1:3, 17-19). That's like having money in the bank; it might all be there waiting for you, but you can't access it unless you make a withdrawal. It's Jesus' account, but we can use His name, and thus gain access to everything that's His. He gave us permission to do that. He told us to do that. It has nothing to do with how good or holy we are, and everything to do with how good and holy He is. The other way to think about praying in Jesus' name is to consider the meanings of all of the various names of God. Throughout the Old Testament, whenever God revealed a new aspect of His character, He received, or He gave Himself, a new name. These included Jehovah Nissi (the Lord My Banner), Jehovah Rapha (the Lord that Heals), Jehovah Tsidkenu (The Lord my Righteousness), Jehovah Jireh (the Lord who Provides), and many more. Since Jesus is One with the Father and only did what He saw His father doing (John 5:19, 5:30, 8:28, 12:49), we can infer that the Father's names apply to Jesus, as well--so anything that is in one of His names is ours.  Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.
