This Sunday in our study of Deuteronomy we will hear the Shema, Israel's central confession: “Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength” (Deut. 6:4–5). At the very center of faith is love—love for God that overflows in love for neighbor. In an age discipled by violence and contempt, Deuteronomy reminds us that God's people are called to be shaped by love, embodying a different way of being human together.

Public, Private, or Homeschool? Which one is the right choice? Are any of them wrong?In today's episode, Pastor Jackie and Pastor Derek seek to answer the question of whether or not Christians should send their children to public school. We've heard of some of the agendas being pushed in public schools, but how much validity is there to those claims? Shouldn't Christian kids go to public school so they can be light to others around them? Tune in as we look through the history of education in America, the current state of the education system, and Scripture that speaks to the idea of educating children to see what kinds of things Christians ought to consider when sending their kids to any kind of school.The 17:17 podcast is a ministry of Roseville Baptist Church (MN) that seeks to tackle cultural issues and societal questions from a biblical worldview so that listeners discover what the Bible has to say about the key issues they face on a daily basis. The 17:17 podcast seeks to teach the truth of God's Word in a way that is glorifying to God and easy to understand with the hope of furthering God's kingdom in Spirit and in Truth. Scriptures: Prov. 22:6; Deut. 6:7; 2 Tim. 3:14-15; Eph. 6:4; Psa. 127:3-5; Matt. 5:13-16; 1 Pet. 3:15; Col. 2:8; Matt. 16:6; Mark 8:15; Gen. 19:14; Judg. 2:10; 1 Cor. 15:33.If you'd like access to our show notes, please visit www.rosevillebaptist.com/1717podcast to see them in Google Drive!Please listen, subscribe, rate, and review the podcast so that we can reach to larger audiences and share the truth of God's Word with them!Write in your own questions to be answered on the show at 1717pod@gmail.com.  God bless!

A MIRACULOUS healing led to a Syrian warrior carrying mule loads of dirt from Israel back to Damascus. Why did Naaman the Syrian do that? In the ancient world, it was understood that every nation had a patron deity. For Syria, that was the storm-god Hadad, better known to us as Baal. For Israel, it was Yahweh—although Jezebel and her children tried hard to replace the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob with Baal, Astarte, and the rest of the Canaanite pantheon. When the prophet Elisha instructed Naaman to wash in the Jordan to be healed of his leprosy, Naaman was angry, expecting something more elaborate—a ritual of some kind. But after following the prophet's instructions and being restored to full health, Naaman realized the true God was Yahweh, not Baal, and Israel was His home. So, Naaman loaded two mules with dirt and carried it back to Syria—not because it held magical properties, but because it was a reminder of the one God with the power to heal. The concept of “holy ground” was established after the Tower of Babel, as described in Deuteronomy 32:  When the Most High gave to the nations their inheritance,        when he divided mankind, he fixed the borders of the peoples        according to the number of the sons of God.But the LORD's portion is his people,       Jacob his allotted heritage. (Deut. 32:8–9, ESV)  In other words, God allotted the people of Earth to angelic representatives who were tempted into receiving worship themselves, but He chose Israel as the conduit through which He would bring forth the Messiah to save the world from those fallen entities. We also discuss the way God delivered the northern kingdom of Israel from a prolonged siege of Samaria by the Syrians—despite the continued apostasy of Samaria.

As we open the book of Joshua, our hero is standing at the edge of the Promised Land, the destiny they have been hoping for. He is entering the third “leg” of his journey of faith. For the first 40 years of Joshua's life, he was a slave. Born into bondage, as his fellow Hebrews had been for 400 years. He knew no other life.Then came the glorious day when God sent the great deliverer, Moses. Joshua experienced Passover and the parting of the Red Sea. He saw firsthand that the Lord was able to work mightily for His people.The second leg of Joshua's journey was a mixture of education and maturation as he spent the next 40 years in the wilderness. During this season, he was Moses' right-hand man, and he developed a deep trusting relationship with God.Now he begins the third leg. He is in his 80s. Moses is dead, and now God says, “Joshua, I want you to lead my people into the Promised Land.” The journey of his life has been a series of steps preparing him for this day. The same is true in our lives.Spiritual maturity is a function of moment-by-moment choices regarding whether to trust or mistrust, as well as day-to-day decisions about whether to obey or disobey.  Now, as Joshua is being called into the biggest challenge of his life, God gives him these stunning words: “Be strong and courageous.” (Josh. 1:6, 7, 9)In Hebrew, the words are:chazaq – be strong; “grab hold”amats – courageous; “don't let go”God was saying to Joshua, “I have a future for you.  It's a good future, a hope-filled future, a future that will not only result in My glory but your good.  I want you to grab hold of it.  And once you do, don't let go.”But that sort of future wasn't just offered to Joshua. There's a point of parallel for you and me.  First of all, you need to…Grab hold and don't let go of God's promises. (vs. 6) Here are two promises regarding your future to grab hold of and not let go:Regarding your identity. You are no longer a slave. You are a child of God. (Ga. 4:7)Regarding your destiny. God has plans for His glory and your good. (Jer. 29:11)Next, we need to… Grab hold and don't let go of God's patterns. (v. 8)Patterns for success are found in Scripture.  Read it. Meditate on it. Obey it. (2 Tim. 3:16-17)Then, we need to… Grab hold and don't let go of God's presence. (v.9)God promises to be with us every step of our journey. (Deut. 31:8) Text: Joshua 1:1-18Originally recorded on August 14, 2016, at Fellowship Missionary Church, Fort Wayne, IN

Se acercaba cada vez más al Señor y procuraba asemejarse a él. Cierto día, mientras conversaba con Dios en la tienda del encuentro, Moisés se dio cuenta de que no lo conocía y le dijo concretamente: “Te ruego que me muestres tu camino, para que te conozca” (Éxo. 33:13). Él era consciente de su profunda necesidad de comprender a Dios en un nuevo nivel. Descubrió que cuanto más conocía al Señor más lo desconocía. Reconoció su necesidad y deseó de todo corazón conocerlo mejor. Dios concedió de buen grado el deseo de Moisés. Al observar las experiencias de Moisés hasta ahora, vemos que fue atraído a una relación más profunda e íntima con el Señor y que creció espiritualmente. Para empezar, subió al monte “a presentarse ante Dios” (Éxo. 19:3). Luego fue “a la cumbre del monte” (Éxo. 19:20) y después se acercó a la nube, “la densa oscuridad” en la que Dios se encontraba (Éxo. 20:21, NVI). En otra ocasión, Moisés “se internó en la nube” donde estaba Dios y permaneció con el Señor cuarenta días y cuarenta noches (Éxo. 24:18, NVI). Durante ese tiempo, Dios hizo a Moisés dos preciosos regalos: (1) el Decálogo, escrito por Dios mismo en las dos tablas cinceladas también por él (Éxo. 24:12), y (2) las instrucciones acerca de cómo construir el Tabernáculo y dotarlo del mobiliario correspondiente (ver Éxo. 25-31). Luego pasó otros cuarenta días y noches con el Señor intercediendo por los pecadores (Éxo. 32:30-32; Deut. 9:18). Sin embargo, incluso después de todo esto, Moisés deseaba conocer el carácter de Dios de forma más concreta, y Dios pronto le dio una visión especial para que pudiera comprender quién es él. Este conocimiento que Moisés deseaba no era una mera comprensión intelectual acerca de Dios, sino un conocimiento vivencial de su persona. No es de extrañar que siglos más tarde Jesús dijera: “Y esta es la vida eterna, que te conozcan a ti, el único Dios verdadero, y a Jesucristo, a quien tú has enviado” (Juan 17:3). La máxima revelación que Dios hizo de sí mismo a los seres humanos consistió en hacerse uno de ellos. ¿Conoces a Dios, o solo sabes acerca de él? ¿Cuál es la diferencia crucial entre ambas cosas?

No sabemos con qué frecuencia consultaba Moisés a Dios en la tienda de reunión. Sin embargo, sabemos con certeza que los encuentros de Moisés con Dios dieron lugar a una estrecha amistad entre ellos. “Y el Señor hablaba con Moisés cara a cara, como quien habla con su amigo” (Éxo. 33:11). Un amigo es una persona cuya opinión podemos solicitar y con la que podemos hablar abiertamente de casi todo y confiar en que nunca revelará el contenido de nuestro diálogo a otros. La amistad es una de las mayores bendiciones que podemos disfrutar de parte de alguien y brindar a otros. La historia de Moisés, registrada en Éxodo 19 a 34, resulta muy instructiva acerca de cómo transforma Dios nuestra vida. ¿Cómo construyó Dios una relación con Moisés, ese líder excepcional? Un estudio de la vida de este muestra cómo creció en su conocimiento del poder, el amor y el carácter de Dios. Este es un componente crucial de una relación con el Señor. Moisés fue utilizado poderosamente por Dios aun antes de llegar al monte Sinaí, incluso mientras era preparado para su futuro papel especial de liderazgo. En la tierra de Madián, mientras cuidaba ovejas, Dios lo inspiró para escribir dos libros: Job y Génesis. Luego, en el dramático acontecimiento de la zarza ardiente, fue llamado por Dios para sacar a Israel de Egipto. Vio la derrota de los dioses egipcios y del poderoso ejército del faraón en el Mar Rojo. Observó durante muchas semanas cómo Dios conducía a Israel desde Egipto hasta el Sinaí. Después de la experiencia que resultó en el resplandor de su rostro, Moisés guio a Israel durante otros 39 años hasta los límites de la Tierra Prometida. La Biblia afirma que Moisés fue un siervo fiel de Dios (Deut. 34:5; Jos. 1:1), un faro inextinguible en la oscuridad, un profeta modelo a la luz del cual habrían de ser medidos los demás (Deut. 18:15, 18). Fue un agente de cambio, aunque el pueblo no siempre siguiera sus indicaciones y sus palabras. Cuando lo hacían, prosperaban. La excepcional historia de Moisés nos muestra lo que Dios puede hacer cuando le permitimos que nos transforme. ¿Cuáles fueron algunos momentos decisivos de tu experiencia con Dios en los que reconociste la forma en que él obró poderosamente en tu vida?

En este episodio de “Alianzas Peligrosas”, continuamos explorando la importancia de escoger bien con quién caminamos en nuestra vida espiritual. La Biblia enseña que no se puede arar con un buey y un asno juntos (Deut. 22:10), porque no van en la misma dirección. Así también, nuestras alianzas pueden impulsarnos hacia el propósito de Dios o desviarnos hacia la ruina. Hoy descubrimos dos tipos de alianzas que debemos evitar: Alianza con los enemigos de Dios: Aprendemos del rey Josafat, quien a pesar de tener prosperidad y favor, se unió con Acab, uno de los peores reyes de Israel. Sus malas decisiones lo llevaron a alianzas familiares, militares y comerciales que Dios desaprobó, trayendo consecuencias dolorosas. La enseñanza es clara: no se puede ser amigo de Dios y al mismo tiempo aliado de quienes lo rechazan. Alianza con malos consejeros: Vemos cómo personajes como Jonadab, Ahitofel y Siba influyeron con consejos engañosos que terminaron en tragedias, traición y destrucción. Un mal consejo puede parecer sabio, pero si no proviene de Dios, llevará al error. Debemos cuidar a quién escuchamos, discernir intenciones y recordar que no todo lo que parece bueno lo es. Este mensaje nos desafía a evaluar nuestras relaciones y decisiones: ¿con quién estamos caminando?, ¿a quién estamos escuchando? Dios quiere que vivamos en fidelidad, sin mezclar lo sagrado con lo profano, y con discernimiento para evitar alianzas que comprometan nuestro llamado.

An episode from Seneca Bible Baptist Church, a conservative, independent body of King James Bible believers located in Seneca Falls, New York. We believe the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testament to be the verbally and plenary inspired Word of God. The Scriptures are inerrant, infallible and God ­breathed, and therefore are the final authority for faith and life. The sixty­-six books of the Old and New Testament are the complete and divine revelation of God to Man. The Scriptures shall be interpreted according to their normal grammatical ­historical meaning. The King James Version of the Bible shall be the official and only translation used by the church (2 Tim. 3:16­-17). We believe in one Triune God, eternally existing in three persons—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—each coeternal in being, co-identical in nature, coequal in power and glory, and having the same attributes and perfections (Deut. 6:4). We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God, became man, without ceasing to be God, having been conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary, in order that He might reveal God and redeem sinful men (Phil. 2:5­8). We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ accomplished our redemption through his death on the cross as a representative, vicarious, substitutionary sacrifice; and, that our justification is made sure by His literal, physical resurrection from the dead (1 Peter 1:3­5). We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ ascended to Heaven, and is now exalted at the right hand of God, where, as our High Priest, He fulfills the ministry of Representative, Intercessor, and Advocate (Acts 1:9­10). We believe that salvation is the gift of God brought to man by grace and received by personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, whose precious blood was shed on Calvary for the forgiveness of our sins 1 Pet. 1:18­19). A message from Seneca Bible Baptist Church: “We would love to have you visit! “If you are looking for a church in the Seneca Falls, New York area that preaches the Truth from God's Word, reach out to us at any time.

Pero eso no era lo que Moisés quería, sino que suplicó al Señor en favor de los israelitas, señalando que no eran el pueblo de Moisés, sino el de Dios, y que no había sido él, Moisés, quien los sacó de Egipto, sino Dios mediante sus poderosos hechos. Moisés invocó las promesas que Dios había hecho a los patriarcas, actuando verdaderamente como intercesor entre Dios y la humanidad. Después de que “el Señor desistió del mal que dijo que haría a su pueblo” (Éxo. 32:14), Moisés volvió con ellos. A diferencia de lo que sucedería en Éxodo 34:29 y 30, no consta que su rostro brillara ante la presencia del Señor, tal vez porque en esta circunstancia reflejaba su ira. “Cuando Moisés llegó al campamento, y vio el becerro y las danzas, se enardeció de ira. Arrojó las tablas de sus manos y las quebró al pie del monte” (Éxo. 32:19). La acción de romper las tablas que contenían el Decálogo era una señal externa de la ruptura de su contenido. Dios más tarde le ordenó a Moisés que cincelara dos tablas para sustituir “las primeras tablas que quebraste” (Deut. 10:2). Dios mismo reescribiría los Mandamientos. Moisés reprendió duramente a Aarón por rendirse a las exigencias del pueblo. “¿Qué te ha hecho este pueblo, que has traído sobre él tan grande pecado?” (Éxo. 32:21). Aarón trató de excusar su transgresión (1) culpando a otros y (2) sugiriendo que el ídolo había aparecido por arte de magia: “Lo eché [el oro] en el fuego y salió este becerro” (Éxo. 32:24). Lo que empeoraba las cosas era que el propio Aarón había sido muy honrado por Dios, pues se le habían concedido muchos privilegios, que incluyeron subir a la montaña con Moisés y los ancianos (Éxo. 24:1). ¡Qué oscura ironía! Al afirmar que había ocurrido un milagro, Aarón quiso engañar a su hermano (nota cómo un pecado conduce a otro; en este caso, de la idolatría a la mentira). Sin embargo, Moisés no se dejó engañar al ver el comportamiento desenfrenado del pueblo. Las consecuencias negativas eran evidentes, y Moisés tuvo que detener la rebelión de inmediato. ¿Qué debería enseñarnos esta historia acerca del poder de la oración intercesora? ¿Por quién deberías orar ahora mismo?

THIS EPISODE In this episode, Rob and Vinnie begin a discussion of Jesus and the poor. They respond to the assertion that Jesus said, "The poor you will always have." They do so by looking at the OT context for this quote and argue that the people of God are called to be advocates for a just society in which "there shall be no poor among you" (Deut 15:4).

Phase 1: The Garden of Eden ( Gen 1:26; 2:17 ) God's policies were minimal and simple: ( 1 ) have children, ( 2 ) rule the world, and ( 3 ) don't eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Phase 2: The Old World ( Gen 4:26; 5:22 ) People invoked the name of God. Enoch walked with God, but over time, wickedness and violence spread like a plague resulting in the great reset of Noah's flood. Phase 3: The New World ( Gen 9:1-11; 11:6-9 ) God initiated three changes in policy: ( 1 ) humans could now eat meat, ( 2 ) no more global floods, and ( 3 ) capital punishment for murderers. Sadly, humanity rebelled with the result that God confused the languages. Phase 4: Covenant with Abraham ( Gen 12:1-3 ) After Abraham trusted God, God committed to him and his descendants to be their God, bless them, and give them a land. Phase 5: Covenant with Israel ( Exod 20:1-17 ) After rescuing Israel from Egypt, God gave Moses laws to write down. In the 40th year, God provided updates and new laws ( Exod 21:2 vs. Deut 15:12-14, 17 ). Phase 6: New Covenant ( Luke 22:19-20; Jer 31:31-32; Psalm 110:4; Heb 8:13; 7:11- 12, 22; Gal 3:23-26 ) Jesus brought new instruction. His death ratified a new covenant, that opened up a new relationship on the basis of faith not ancestry. Phase 7: The Kingdom of God ( Dan 7; Rev 21-22 ) When Christ returns, he will resurrect the faithful, establish God's kingdom on earth, and usher in an age of enduring peace, justice, and loveThe post Progressive Revelation first appeared on Living Hope.

An episode from Seneca Bible Baptist Church, a conservative, independent body of King James Bible believers located in Seneca Falls, New York. We believe the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testament to be the verbally and plenary inspired Word of God. The Scriptures are inerrant, infallible and God ­breathed, and therefore are the final authority for faith and life. The sixty­-six books of the Old and New Testament are the complete and divine revelation of God to Man. The Scriptures shall be interpreted according to their normal grammatical ­historical meaning. The King James Version of the Bible shall be the official and only translation used by the church (2 Tim. 3:16­-17). We believe in one Triune God, eternally existing in three persons—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—each coeternal in being, co-identical in nature, coequal in power and glory, and having the same attributes and perfections (Deut. 6:4). We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God, became man, without ceasing to be God, having been conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary, in order that He might reveal God and redeem sinful men (Phil. 2:5­8). We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ accomplished our redemption through his death on the cross as a representative, vicarious, substitutionary sacrifice; and, that our justification is made sure by His literal, physical resurrection from the dead (1 Peter 1:3­5). We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ ascended to Heaven, and is now exalted at the right hand of God, where, as our High Priest, He fulfills the ministry of Representative, Intercessor, and Advocate (Acts 1:9­10). We believe that salvation is the gift of God brought to man by grace and received by personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, whose precious blood was shed on Calvary for the forgiveness of our sins 1 Pet. 1:18­19). A message from Seneca Bible Baptist Church: “We would love to have you visit! “If you are looking for a church in the Seneca Falls, New York area that preaches the Truth from God's Word, reach out to us at any time.

She also offers compassionate, practical advice for parents and pastors loving someone caught in the occult, plus a candid look at abuses in deliverance ministry and how to keep it love-led and biblical.Stay to the end for Tailah's new book, Breaking Demonic Chains, and a hope-filled roadmap from darkness to discipleship.

Y si no, ráeme ahora de tu libro que has escrito' ” (Éxo. 32:31, 32). Aunque Moisés había estado ausente del campamento de Israel durante solo cuarenta días, ¿qué sucedió? El pueblo de Dios se apartó de él y adoró a un ídolo, el becerro de oro. ¿Cómo pudieron hacer eso después de tantas señales poderosas, experiencias y milagros? Podría haber muchas respuestas para ese interrogante y tal vez algo acertado en todas ellas. ¿Acaso el pueblo no entendía quién era Dios en realidad? ¿O fueron sus poderosas experiencias con él eclipsadas por sus deseos carnales y pecaminosos? ¿No apreciaban lo que Dios había hecho por ellos, sino que lo daban todo por sentado? ¿Estaba su entendimiento nublado, estropeado por sus preocupaciones cotidianas y su antigua manera pecaminosa de pensar? ¿Eran simplemente desagradecidos para con las misericordiosas acciones de Dios en su favor? ¿Olvidaron tan rápidamente los poderosos actos de Dios (Sal. 106:13, 21-23)? ¿O podría adjudicarse todo al fallido liderazgo de Aarón? “Con Aarón también el Señor se enojó en gran manera para destruirlo” (Deut. 9:20). Cualesquiera que hayan sido las razones de tan terrible apostasía, ¿qué lecciones podemos extraer de ella, no solo acerca de la pecaminosidad humana, sino del amor misericordioso de Dios hacia los seres humanos a pesar de su pecaminosidad?

More importantly, the nation of Israel saw Moses as a prototype and the Bible record illustrates that point. Moses said: ‘And Yahweh said unto me, they have well spoken that which they have spoken. I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.'

In this study we will take a look at the miracles that Yahweh performed on the Egyptians, when Israel was held in bondage, during this period in Exodus. We will see that those miracles were against the Egyptian deities or gods that they worshipped.The story of Moses is not just the story of the freedom of a group of slaves from Egypt in the second millennium BCE. It is the blueprint of the Plan of Salvation of the world as seen from the structure laid down in the Bible. Moses was the prototype of the Christ or Messiah. More importantly, the nation of Israel saw Moses as a prototype and the Bible record illustrates that point. Moses said: ‘And Yahweh said unto me, they have well spoken that which they have spoken. I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.'

Combined these mean "seed basket". Squash seeds were planted along the routes of the travelers and nomads for future use by themselves and other travelers. The squash plant spreads out over a large area forming varied sizes and shapes of squash fruit. Dried squash fruit becomes a hard hollow shell (seed basket) with the seeds inside and when shaken they rattle inside.Smite = “nâkâh” “naw-kaw'” “nun-kaph-hey” “Aleph-Tav”Nun = (seed) continue, heir, sonKaph = (open palm) bend, open, allow, tamehey = (man with arms raised) behold, reveal, window, breathAleph = (ox) strength, strong, power, leaderTav = (cross) sign, covenant seal, mark and crossThe Hebrew Letter ‘nun' is a picture of a seed, the letter ‘kaph' is a picture of the palm of the hand. Combined these mean "seed in the palm". Seeds of certain plants were placed in the palm and rubbed with the thumb to a powdery spice. Wow! Can you see what I see? I can picture Yahshua Messiah hanging on Calvary's Cross, arms stretched out ‘palms open up' holding the seeds of those that place their faith in Him! Once again we see Yahweh/Yahshua Messiah defeating death! lice = An Egyptian word, mosquito-gnat, some believe sand fleas or fleas.

In this transparent episode, I get real about temptation, distractions, instant gratification, and the vices that so many of us struggle with. We all know how easy it is to run to the things that make us feel good in the moment like sex, food, drugs, entertainment, relationships, or even just endless distractions. But the truth is, those temporary highs never truly satisfy. They leave us empty, searching, and sometimes cost us more than we ever expected to pay. The enemy loves to tempt us most when we are tired, uncertain, or at our lowest moments. But temptation is not just a trap, it's also an opportunity. An opportunity to grow in self-control, to strengthen our faith, and to choose God's way over our own. In this conversation, I share: The reality of why we lean on vices when life gets hard How the enemy uses our distractions to pull us away from God's best Biblical examples of men who gave in to temporary pleasures (Esau, David, Solomon, etc) and the lessons we can learn from their stories Jesus' example of resisting temptation in the wilderness Practical ways to overcome temptation and build new habits: prayer, fasting, Scripture, community, and even healthy outlets like fitness and creativity This episode is for anyone who feels stuck in cycles of temporary highs but desires real freedom. You are not alone in the struggle. God has given us the strength, the tools, and the grace to overcome.

On today's Bible Answer Man broadcast (09/01/25), Hank wishes all of you a happy Labor Day and details the Labor Day holiday that God gave us long before the government did—our Sabbath Day rest. Just as we rest today on Labor Day, the Lord commands us to rest on the Sabbath each week. “Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your male or female servant, nor your ox, your donkey or any of your animals, nor any foreigner residing in your towns, so that your male and female servants may rest, as you do” (Deut. 5:13-14 NIV). So our Labor Day holiday according to God is our Sabbath Day rest, which begs the question: why do Christians rest from their labor on the first day of the week (Sunday), rather than the last day of the week (Saturday)? The answer, says Hank, is encapsulated in just one word—resurrection. Hank also discusses something else that comes to his mind when he thinks about the word labor, and that is what Paul says in 1 Corinthians chapter 3, that each person will be rewarded according to their own labor. In other words, what we do now in this life counts for all eternity. Hank uses the illustration of his invitation to play Cypress Point, which he claims to be the most spectacular golf course on Earth. For months, he beat his body into submission while dreaming of the day he would experience walking its fairways. Without his strenuous preparations, he would have still experienced the same breathtaking views; however, all his hard work added immeasurably to his experience. That is what heaven will be like. As phenomenal as Cypress Point is, it pales in comparison to what paradise restored will be. Hank spent one day at a golf haven; he will spend an eternity in God's heaven. It stands to reason, therefore, that he would put a lot more labor into preparing for an eternity in heaven with God than he did for playing eighteen holes of golf.

08/31/2025 Hallowed: The Power of God's NameBig Idea: God's name isn't just a label, it's a revelation of His character, power, and presence. God's name represents who He is.Why is God''s name such a big deal?1. God's name reveals His character. YAHWEH - self-existent, eternal, unchanging. (Isaiah 42:8)2. God's name represents His presence and power. EL SHADDAI - all sufficient one, powerful to bless and sustain. (Acts 4:12; Proverbs 18:12; Matt 18:20; Psalm 20:7; Rom 5:6-8)3. God's name guarantees His promise. (Joshua 21; 2 Cor 1:20a; Num 23:19; Deut 31:6)Three Questions to Consider:1. Do you know God's name, or just know about it? God wants to have a relationship with you.2. Where do you run for safety? We need to lay our circumstances at God's feet.3. Do you trust His name in your daily life?PRACTICAL CHALLENGE:Identify one specific area (work pressure, family struggle, personal fear, financial worry, etc.) where you will intentionally “run into His name” this week.Practice declaring His character out loud over it: “God, You are faithful, God, You are my protector, God, You are present with me.”

Welcome to Day 2706 of Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom – Theology Thursday – “The Great Reversal” – Supernatural Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2706 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2706 of our Trek. The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Today, we continue with the 13th of 16 segments of our Theology Thursday lessons. I will read through the book "Supernatural," written by Hebrew Bible scholar, professor, and mentor Dr. Michael S. Heiser, who has since passed away. Supernatural is a condensed version of his comprehensive book, ‘The Unseen Realm.' If these readings pique your interest, I would recommend that you read ‘The Unseen Realm.' Today, we will read through chapter thirteen: “The Great Reversal” Aside from stories about Jesus in the Gospels—such   as accounts of his birth, death, and Sermon on the Mount—perhaps the most familiar passage in the New Testament is Acts 2, where the Holy Spirit rushes upon the followers of Jesus at the day of Pentecost. It marks the launch of the fledgling church and the beginning of global evangelism in the name of Jesus. As familiar as the passage is, there's a lot more going on in it than most realize. Acts 2 is in fact designed to telegraph the campaign to reverse the post-Babel cosmic geography of the Old Testament, in which the nations other than Israel were under the dominion of lesser gods. What happened at Pentecost was a battle plan for infiltrating all the nations disinherited by God at Babel with the gospel of Jesus—an ancient strategy for spiritual war. Pentecost What Acts 2 describes as happening on the day of Pentecost was certainly unusual: And when the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in the same place. And suddenly a sound like a violent rushing wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. And divided tongues like fire appeared to them and rested on each one of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other languages as the Spirit gave them ability to speak out. Now there were Jews residing in Jerusalem, devout men from every nation under heaven. And when this sound occurred, the crowd gathered and was in confusion, because each one was hearing them speaking in his own language. And they were astounded and astonished, saying, “Behold, are not all these who are speaking Galileans? And how do we hear, each one of us, in our own native language?” (Acts 2:1–8 leb) Some of the things that take us into the supernatural worldview of the Old Testament in that remarkable passage aren't obvious in the English translation. The “rushing wind” associated with the arrival of the Spirit is a familiar description of the presence of God in the Old Testament (2 Kings 2:1, 11; Job 38:1; 40:6). Fire is also familiar in descriptions of God (Ezek. 1:4; Isa. 6:4, 6; Dan. 7:9; Ex. 3:2; 19:18; 20:18). It's clear from those references that God was present at the event and behind what was going on. His intention was to launch his campaign to take back the nations from the lesser gods he assigned to the nations (Deut. 4:19–20; 32:8–9) but who became his enemies (Ps. 82). God's tool for doing that was the words of the disciples—hence the imagery of tongues. God enabled the Jewish followers of Jesus to speak...

Porque escrito está: ‘Mía es la venganza, yo pagaré, dice el Señor' ” (Rom. 12:19; ver también Deut. 32:35). ¿Qué promesa y qué mandato se encuentran en los versículos recién citados, y cómo están estrechamente relacionados? Hasta que el Señor traiga la justicia, que tanta falta hace, era el deber de los jueces en el antiguo Israel aplicar la ley y determinar un castigo justo cuando ocurría un daño o lesión. Pero primero necesitaban investigar los hechos. El problema era que los maestros de la Ley en la época de Cristo aplicaban esta ley de una manera que abría la puerta a la venganza personal. Al hacerlo, el principio fue sacado de su contexto, y se perdió el propósito inicial. En consecuencia, defendían lo que la Ley realmente prohibía. Lee Mateo 6:4, 6; 16:27; Lucas 6:23, y 2 Timoteo 4:8. ¿Qué nos dicen estos textos acerca de cómo veía Jesús los principios relativos a la recompensa y el castigo? Jesús no estaba en contra del principio de la recompensa y el castigo. La justicia es una cuestión de principios; es una parte crucial de la vida. Sin embargo, ningún individuo debe asumir el papel de juez, jurado y “verdugo”. ¡Qué fácil sería para nosotros pervertir la justicia! No nos corresponde a nosotros reparar el daño. Si hay que reparar un mal, debe hacerlo un tribunal objetivo; es la labor de los jueces. En este contexto, Jesús nos dice que seamos tan perfectos como nuestro “Padre celestial es perfecto” (Mat. 5:48). ¿Cómo podemos ser tan perfectos como Dios mismo? El amor desinteresado es la característica primordial de Dios. Él enseña a sus seguidores a amar a sus enemigos y a orar por quienes los persiguen. La verdadera perfección consiste en amar, perdonar y ser misericordioso (Luc. 6:36), incluso con quienes no lo merecen. Este principio, y las acciones a las que conduce, es lo que significa reflejar el carácter de Dios. ¿Cómo podemos aprender día a día a amar como se nos ha ordenado? ¿Por qué esto implica siempre la muerte al yo?

“Tzedek, tzedek tirdof—justice, justice shall you pursue” (Deut. 16:20) has been understood by our sages as far more than legal fairness. In this meditation, we reflect on the many layers of tzedek: charity that lifts the vulnerable, justice that restores balance, righteousness that aligns heart and action. We explore how both ends and means must be just, how law is tempered by compassion, and how truth and peace must guide our steps. Tzedek lives in wisdom and discernment, and is realized in word and deed, thought and action. As you settle into stillness, let the call to pursue justice echo within you—not as a demand of perfection, but as an invitation to wholeness. This practice invites you to breathe into the depth of tzedek, cultivating presence, integrity, and kindness, so that your pursuit of justice is not only outward in the world, but also inward, in the way you live, speak, and embody your values.

Together, we reflected on the value of Christ over material possessions, the role of prevenient grace, and the spiritual meaning of biblical narratives such as the woman who anointed Jesus, Abraham and Isaac, and the burial spices. We discussed godly sorrow, divine enforcement in growth, and the ongoing battle between fleshly desires and spiritual freedom.

Sin embargo, habló en contra de las interpretaciones rabínicas vigentes, que a lo largo de los siglos se habían alejado del propósito original de esas leyes citadas. Es decir, la tradición humana no solo ocultaba el propósito de la Palabra de Dios, sino que también en algunos casos (pensemos en las regulaciones rabínicas acerca del sábado y lo que ellas habían hecho con el cuarto Mandamiento) había pervertido su intención y significado. Con sus palabras, Jesús estaba restaurando el sentido original de esas leyes. En el Monte de las Bienaventuranzas, Jesús trató de corregir algunas de esas interpretaciones erróneas señalando a sus oyentes la intención y el significado originales de los textos. Éxodo 21:24 (“ojo por ojo, diente por diente”) fue citado en Mateo 5:38 y 39 (“Ustedes oyeron que fue dicho... Pero yo les digo”) y se refería a la ley del talión. Este versículo es también utilizado en otros lugares de la Biblia (Lev. 24:20; Deut. 19:21). Esta ley fue formulada con la intención de evitar la venganza, de poner fin a las contiendas sangrientas y a las represalias sin una investigación previa. Los daños debían ser evaluados por jueces, y luego se establecía y pagaba una compensación monetaria adecuada. Esta práctica surgió para evitar que las personas tomaran la justicia en sus manos. Era necesario hacer justicia, pero en armonía con la Ley de Dios. Jesucristo, quien promulgó estas leyes sociales por medio de Moisés, conocía el propósito de ellas, razón por la cual podía aplicarlas de manera objetiva, de acuerdo con su intención original. El motivo detrás de ellas era hacer justicia, propiciar la reconciliación y restaurar la paz. Se podría argumentar que la justicia implica en cierto sentido una especie de venganza o vindicación. La correcta aplicación de estas leyes era un intento de encontrar el justo equilibrio entre la justicia y la vindicación. ¿Cómo puede la certeza de que Dios hará finalmente justicia ayudarnos a lidiar con las injusticias que vemos en el mundo?

God's promises have a condition - that we have faith. Do we walk by faith? Or are we suffering in the curses we have brought on by not having faith in Him, faith that He will supply our needs! Have we put things before God as our own idol? Or are we who He has called us to be as His people!

Cities Church Sermons

John 7:25-52,Some of the people of Jerusalem therefore said, “Is not this the man whom they seek to kill? 26 And here he is, speaking openly, and they say nothing to him! Can it be that the authorities really know that this is the Christ? 27 But we know where this man comes from, and when the Christ appears, no one will know where he comes from.” 28 So Jesus proclaimed, as he taught in the temple, “You know me, and you know where I come from. But I have not come of my own accord. He who sent me is true, and him you do not know. 29 I know him, for I come from him, and he sent me.” 30 So they were seeking to arrest him, but no one laid a hand on him, because his hour had not yet come. 31 Yet many of the people believed in him. They said, “When the Christ appears, will he do more signs than this man has done?”32 The Pharisees heard the crowd muttering these things about him, and the chief priests and Pharisees sent officers to arrest him. 33 Jesus then said, “I will be with you a little longer, and then I am going to him who sent me. 34 You will seek me and you will not find me. Where I am you cannot come.” 35 The Jews said to one another, “Where does this man intend to go that we will not find him? Does he intend to go to the Dispersion among the Greeks and teach the Greeks? 36 What does he mean by saying, ‘You will seek me and you will not find me,' and, ‘Where I am you cannot come'?”37 On the last day of the feast, the great day, Jesus stood up and cried out, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink. 38 Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, ‘Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.'” 39 Now this he said about the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were to receive, for as yet the Spirit had not been given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.40 When they heard these words, some of the people said, “This really is the Prophet.” 41 Others said, “This is the Christ.” But some said, “Is the Christ to come from Galilee? 42 Has not the Scripture said that the Christ comes from the offspring of David, and comes from Bethlehem, the village where David was?” 43 So there was a division among the people over him. 44 Some of them wanted to arrest him, but no one laid hands on him.45 The officers then came to the chief priests and Pharisees, who said to them, “Why did you not bring him?” 46 The officers answered, “No one ever spoke like this man!” 47 The Pharisees answered them, “Have you also been deceived? 48 Have any of the authorities or the Pharisees believed in him? 49 But this crowd that does not know the law is accursed.” 50 Nicodemus, who had gone to him before, and who was one of them, said to them, 51 “Does our law judge a man without first giving him a hearing and learning what he does?” 52 They replied, “Are you from Galilee too? Search and see that no prophet arises from Galilee.”It's a busy time of year! It marks the ending of one season and the beginning of another — and so there's a lot of excitement in the air! People are grateful for how God has provided in the past; they're hopeful for how God will provide in the future. And that of course is what the Feast of Booths is all about — that's what's going on here in Jerusalem in John Chapter 7.We saw the mention of “The Feast of Booths” last week in verse 2, but I want to circle back to it this week because it's vital context for our passage today.The Feast of Booths was one of the great festivals that God commanded for Israel in the Book of Leviticus. The people would build booths (temporary shelters) and live in them for a week to remember how God provided for them way back after the exodus, and how he continued to provide for them (see Lev. 23:33–43; Deut. 16:13–15).This feast would come at the end of the agricultural year — the seventh month — which is roughly September on our calendar. So for your imagination: the events of our passage today happened around this time of year.So picture this: Jerusalem is packed with people who've come from all-over for this festival; all the kids got on their new back-to-school clothes; and they're having a week-long party — except this year was different because the whole city is abuzz with talk about this man named Jesus. And we can catch the commotion here just by a simple reading — we heard about Jesus's brothers at the start of this chapter, and then we hear about “the Jews,” “the people,” “the crowds,” “some of the people of Jerusalem,” “the Pharisees,” “the chief priests,” “the officers,” “the authorities,” and finally “Nicodemus.”Now there's overlap in some of these groups, but John uses each of these different words to describe what's going on, and the impression he gives us is that there's a whole bunch of different people talking about Jesus. They all want to know who he is, and everybody's got their own opinion. So Chapter 7 is a cacophony of questions about Jesus, and he's right in the middle of it … and we are too.This is the brilliance of God's word. As the readers of this story, we know things that the characters in this story don't know. We call this dramatic irony — and John, who wrote this Gospel, is a master of it! John lets us overhear everyone's questions about Jesus, all while he's already told us the truth about Jesus — we have the fuller perspective, and John means to involve us! He draws us into this story as readers and he gives us a part — there are ways he expects us to respond. I wanna tell you three.For the sermon, I want to tell you three ways we should respond to the buzz about Jesus in Chapter 7. And here's what's at stake: if you do these three things, it will change your life. 1. Give Jesus a hearing. We're going to actually start with the ending. Everybody find verse 45. This is the last debate of the chapter, between the chief priests, the Pharisees, and the officers. We see that word “officers” a few times. Other translations call these officers the “temple guard” or even “temple police.” We should imagine them as basically temple mall cops. Their job was to keep things in order around the temple, but they didn't carry guns.And well, back in verse 32, the chief priests and Pharisees told these temple mall cops to go arrest Jesus. The Pharisees kept hearing the crowds talk about Jesus and they had enough, so they said, Go get him and bring him in. Now everybody look at verse 45: The officers then came to the chief priests and Pharisees, who said to them, “Why did you not bring him?” The officers answered, “No one ever spoke like this man!”The chief priests and Pharisees did not like this answer. The mall cops came back without Jesus, and their defense for why they didn't arrest him was: This man is different! We don't know the full details here, but apparently these guys got close enough to Jesus to take him, but they were enamored by his words (which is a good first step toward faith) — but the Pharisees weren't having it. They attacked these guys. Look at verse 47: The Pharisees answered them, “Have you also been deceived? Have any of the authorities or the Pharisees believed in him? But this crowd that does not know the law is accursed.”The Irony of NicodemusNow this is important — I need everybody to track with me here. In verse 47, I want you to see that the Pharisees are suggesting a contrast between themselves and the crowd — and we have to see the contrast in order to see the deep irony going on here.When the Pharisees ask if the authorities or Pharisees believed in Jesus, that's a rhetorical question (the implied answer is Of course not!).They're saying: The crowd might believe in Jesus because they don't know any better — they're a bunch of dummies! But we're smart! (That's my paraphrase.) Let me read you another paraphrase of these verses, to help us really see what's going on here. Verse 46: The police answered, “Have you heard the way he talks? We've never heard anyone speak like this man.” The Pharisees said, “Are you carried away like the rest of the rabble? You don't see any of the leaders believing in him, do you? Or any from the Pharisees? It's only this crowd, ignorant of God's Law, that is taken in by him—and damned.” (Verses 46-49, The Message)See what they're saying?That is all meant to set up verse 50. Everybody find verse 50.Okay, somebody tell me the first word in verse 50 … Nicodemus!Interesting! We know who he is! We met Nicodemus back in Chapter 3. John tells us in John 3:1,“Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews.” Nicodemus was a Pharisee and a ruler, which were different. There's historical evidence that confirms that Nicodemus belonged to an extremely prominent Jewish family in the First Century. They had incredible wealth and aristocratic influence — in almost every worldly metric you could imagine. Nicodemus was a big deal.And in Chapter 3, he came to Jesus one night, in private, with a bunch of questions. And Jesus told him that you have to be born again by the Holy Spirit, and he told him that “God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.” Jesus said that to Nicodemus, but then Nicodemus disappears from the story. We don't know how he responded … he doesn't show back up until now, in Chapter 7, verse 50. So catch this:The Pharisees say: Look, knuckleheads! You don't see any of us Pharisees believing in Jesus do you?The next verse starts, “Nicodemus …” Verse 50,Nicodemus, who had gone to him before, and who was one of them, said to them, “Does our law judge a man without first giving him a hearing and learning what he does?”This is the most reasonable sentence spoken by any of the characters in this chapter. Nicodemus says, Give him a hearing. It's that simple. Before you dig in your heels on who you think Jesus is, hear him out. See what he's about.Nicodemus is basically saying, Do what I did. The Pharisees think none of their own have believed in Jesus, but they don't know what we know! Actually, one of their best and brightest had believed, and in verse 50 he's telling them how he took that step: Give Jesus a hearing. Said for Us!And I want us to understand that Nicodemus says this for us. The Pharisees don't budge. They're that hardened. They even take a dig at Nicodemus in verse 52 by saying he's from Galilee — they know where Nicodemus was from. They're insulting him. So the Pharisees don't hear Jesus; the question is: will we?Will we hear Jesus out?We have to. You've heard me say this before about the late Tim Keller — a pastor in New York for decades. I agree with him when he said the magnitude of Jesus's claims and the magnitude of his historical impact demands every thoughtful person to hear him out. Because of what Jesus said and what he did, you can't just doubt him from a distance, you have to look closer. Keller gives the illustration: he says imagine you get a letter in the mail from one of the biggest law firms in the country and it says, “Dear [your name], Please call us as soon as possible. You are a long-lost heir of the British throne. These assets and mansions belong to you.” You might think that's ridiculous, but you're going to look into it, right? You're gonna at least make a phone call? The magnitude of the claim is too great not to hear it out.And so it is with Jesus. We must at least hear him out. That's what Nicodemus says. Give Jesus a hearing.This is the second way we should respond to this story …2. Give Jesus your thirst.Jump back to verse 37. Verses 37–39 are the high point of this chapter. It's the concluding words of Jesus in this scene, and I want you to notice something in verse 37 — Jesus didn't just reply and give an answer this time, but he stood up and “cried out” — and that same word for “cry out” in verse 37 is translated “proclaim” in verse 28. It's the exact same verb in verses 28 and 37 and it means to say something with a loud voice.So if we were to track the speaking moments of Jesus in this chapter, from the start of the chapter to its end, it goes like this … it starts in verse 6. Verse 6: “Jesus said to them”Verse 16: “Jesus answered them”Verse 21: “Jesus answered them”Verse 28: “Jesus proclaimed”Verse 37: “Jesus stood up and proclaimed”There's an escalation happening. Jesus literally gets louder until in verse 37 he stands up and gets loud. So this is the high point! All eyes are on him!And the setting, again, is important. Verse 37 starts by telling us this happened “On the last day of the feast, the great day” — What feast? What is John talking about?This is the Feast of Booths — remember verse 2? The “Feasts of Booth was at hand” — and now in verse 37 John is making a connection between that feast and what Jesus says here. So what is that? What's the connection?Pointing to HimWell, remember the Feast of Booths was about recognizing God's provision for Israel after the exodus. Israel wandered through the desert for forty years and God met their needs, and one of those big needs, we know, was water. The people were thirsty and God gave them water to drink — and part of this feast highlighted that provision! So we know that on this last day of the feast, people were thinking about water. The people were remembering and celebrating God's provision of water in the wilderness, and so with water literally on their minds, Jesus stands up in the middle of that and he cries out:“If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink! Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, ‘Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.'”Jesus is saying he's the one this feast has been pointing to this whole time. It's always been about him. He is God's true and ultimate provision for our ultimate thirst!It's amazing that Jesus did this. He caused this scene and said these words to make clear that the people's thirst is not just a thing of history, but they still thirst. He knows it. They know it. There is no modesty here. No riddles to solve. No hard sayings. Jesus is yelling. He's loud:If you're thirsty — and I know you thirst — that's why I've come!And I can almost hear the earnestness in his voice — hoarse with sincerity … heavy with seriousness … hopeful to save. He's speaking both invitation and fact. And everyone hears him, but do we hear him? Do we learn what he does?Mining Our Own ThirstImagine your own life for a minute. Something true about all of us, as human beings, is that we are glory-chasers and pleasure-seekers. This means we all want to matter and we all want to be happy. I know that about you. We all have this desire, this void, this thirst, and we can't help but try to fill it. That's what we're all doing, all the time, but the problem is that left to ourselves, we try to satisfy that thirst with everything but God. And this is not only misguided, it's evil. That's the way the Bible talks about it. The prophet Jeremiah says, Jeremiah 2:12, Be appalled, O heavens, at this; be shocked, be utterly desolate, declares the Lord, 13 for my people have committed two evils: they have forsaken me, the fountain of living waters, and hewed out cisterns for themselves, broken cisterns that can hold no water. (Jeremiah 2:12–13)Do you see? In our sin, we reject God, we abandon him, but then we go looking everywhere else for the satisfaction only he can provide. And we don't just do this one time, but over and over again. Every time we sin we are looking for the God we've forsaken. It's been said that when the young man rings the doorbell at a brothel he's actually looking for God. So what doorbells are you ringing? Where are you letting your thirst take you?I ask this for Christians and non-Christians. How badly do you want the approval of man? Do you crave relationships at all costs? Do you compromise conviction for thrills?Think about this, and I want you to imagine that in the middle of all of it, in the middle of everywhere you might be searching, Jesus is there and he stands up.In the noise of the crowd and the silence of your room, in the pressure of your work and the ache of your heart, in the high places of success and the low places of failure — Jesus stands up in that and he says over all those things, “If you thirst come to me. Come to me and drink.”Let's hear him. And then give him your thirst … right now. If you've never put your faith in Jesus, you can do that now. Just tell him.I don't wanna thirst anymore. I'm done with this search. Jesus, I believe in you. I rest in you. That is the invitation of our passage today. Give Jesus a hearing; give Jesus your thirst; and here is #3 — give Jesus to others. 3. Give Jesus to others. This is the verse 38. Jesus says that whoever believes in him, as the Scripture has said, “Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.”And right away, we should just name it. This is not what we would maybe want Jesus to say. We might think something else would fit better, something like:Believe in me and live happily ever after! — wouldn't that be nice?!Believe in me and your house won't burn, your wife won't get cancer, your children won't be sick … Believe in me and you won't be condemned — and that's true, Jesus has said that — but here he says if you believe in him, it's not about what you get but what you can give. You will have living water flowing out of your heart! And John adds in verse 39 a little clue for us: Jesus is talking about the Holy Spirit. Everyone who believes in Jesus will receive the Holy Spirit. Jesus will say a lot more about the Spirit in Chapter 14, but I'll go ahead and tell you one thing he says: he says the Holy Spirit is God the Father and God the Son making their home in you (John 14:13). The Holy Spirit is the love of the triune God poured into your heart — and how do you think that looks?Stagnant Pond or Flowing River?This summer my family spent a few days at my parents' house in North Carolina. They live in the country: fields, woods, paths, and ponds. And there's this big pond tucked way down out of sight. You go down this path, past an old house, deep into the woods, and then suddenly there's an opening and there it is. It's a big pond (probably called a lake in Minnesota). It's named after my great-grandfather. And it used to be the place to go. It had a sandy beach and they built a tall diving board — 50 years ago my mom and her friends would hang out there. But you'd never know that now. It's been inactive for years, and it shows. The edges of the pond is covered in green algae, the surface is spooky still, mosquitoes rule the place. The water looks dead and you've seen water like that before — now is that your heart? Is your heart more like a stagnant pond or is it like a river? …The Holy Spirit makes one kind of heart. Saved to GiveJesus says that the one who believes in him, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water! So he satisfies you and then he pours out through you into the lives of others. Now what does that mean? How does that look?How does the Spirit in us affect the way we relate to others? We know it must mean the fruit of the Spirit! The Spirit makes us people of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness , faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. The Spirit produces all of those things in our hearts in our relationships with others, but really, ultimately, the Spirit in us means that we give Jesus to people. That's what we're trying to do.Jesus has given us himself to be shared. He has poured his Spirit into our lives to flow through us into the lives of others. We get more of him so that others get him through us! Don't you want to live that way?! We're just a conduit of God's grace for others!Look, God doesn't save you for yourself — he saves you for his glory and your good — and your good is realized not in your getting, but in your giving!And church, some of you need to hear that because you think you don't have anything to give. You've been fooled or discouraged into thinking your heart is a stagnant pond, but it's not. Not according to Jesus. Christian, you have the Holy Spirit. Let today be the day God stirs anew the living water in your heart. Hey, it's a busy time of year. It's the end of one season and beginning of another — and there's a lot of excitement in the air. We start school tomorrow. And church, for this new season, let's ask God for a fresh filling of his Spirit! That's what we need! For his glory and our good! Here's how we respond to the buzz about Jesus in Chapter 7: Give Jesus a hearing.Give Jesus your thirst.And by his Spirit flowing in us, give Jesus to others. And we come to this Table in that hope.The TableThis Table is about receiving — we receive Jesus and his fellowship, and remember all that he's done for us in his life, death, and resurrected life. But we don't receive him to stop here. We receive him and then overflow!

The Purpose of Marriage - Matthew 19:1-15The practice of the father of the bride ‘giving away' the bride goes all the way back to the first 2 chapters of the Bible, Genesis 1-2. We will see Jesus talk about it in today's passage!Where is one of the biggest places we get to practice giving and receiving forgiveness? Within our marriages!As we look at Jesus' response to the Pharisees, we are going to see Jesus model for us how to respond to all the “What about this issue,” or “what about that issue” questions that people ask us to weigh in on.Jesus teaches on the purpose of marriage - V. 4-6I love Jesus' question, “Have you not read?” He's saying, “Let's go back to the Bible, and before talking about what's a sin against God's design, let's clarify God's design and purpose for marriage and sexuality!”In ‘incorporating' the first marriage in Genesis 1-2, God gave us the purpose of marriage and family. Every marriage starts a new family that is intended to help each other and any children they might have flourish and become responsible contributors to God's world.Jesus teaches on divorce - V. 7-9In verse 7 they were referring to Deut. 21:1-4, where Moses instructed a man determined to divorce his wife to write out a certificate saying the divorce was not her fault. This was to protect her in those ancient times. This is one of the times in the Law of Israel God regulated what he didn't condone (see Mal. 2:13-17) to protect those who were most vulnerable.Jesus' words in verse 9 mean that the two spouses were supposed to be together “as long as they both shall live.” To jump to another relationship without clear biblical grounds is to sin against your marriage vows.In addition to adultery as grounds for divorce and presumably remarriage 1 Corinthians 7:15 allows divorce in cases where one spouse abandons their vows, and many pastors like me would include abuse under that.Jesus' disciples understand how serious marriage is - V. 10-12In verse 11 Jesus makes clear he expects His disciples to apply God's design in their lives – “Not everyone can receive this saying, but only those to whom it is given” – Jesus' disciples.In verse 12 Jesus is using eunuch as a euphemism for being celibate, the Christians commitment to only have sex within their own marriage between one man and one woman.In every age God's plan for human sexuality has been mocked and ridiculed by those who reject it. But Christians know that obedience to God in this area will lead to greater fulfilment than giving in to sexual temptation. Some have learned that because of the consequences sin in this area has brought into their life and relationships.Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor people who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of God. - 1 Cor. 6:9-11

Meadowbrooke Church Sermon Podcast

Our scripture passage is about two types of wisdom, so I thought it would be fun to share with you some advice I found on the internet that I will get you into trouble if you do follow it: Carry a fork with you. If someone tries to rob you, pull it out of your pocket and say, thank you Lord for this meal Im about to have and charge at them with the fork. Always say what you're thinking out loud. "Don't breathe, 100% of people who breathe die at some point." "Dont go to the doctors office if you only have one problem. Wait until you have four or five; thats how you get the most bang for your buck." If life gives you lemons, squeeze the juice into a water gun and shoot other people in the eyes. "When confronted by a bear, give it a hug and tell him it'll be alright." We laugh at these bits of wisdom I found on the internet because they are so foolish they are comical. In James 3:13-18, we are reminded of two sources of wisdom, and of the two, we as a species gravitate to one over the other. Wisdom is the application of knowledge. According to James 3:13-18, not all wisdom is good. The Source of Worldly Wisdom What is worldly wisdom? James says that it is, earthly, natural, and demonic (v. 15). Well that sounds a bit harsh does it not? Lets dive a bit deeper into what James means here before we judge whether or not he said too much. The kind of wisdom that is earthly, natural, and demonic is the kind that is motivated and driven by, bitter jealousy and selfish ambition (v. 14). So what is bitter jealousy and what does it look like? The Greek word for jealousy is... are you ready for it? The Greek word is zēlos. Do you think there may a better way to translate this word? Of course you do, a better translation for this word is our English word zeal! Zeal can be positive or negative. The prophet Elijah was zealous for God is a good way, and that zeal was demonstrated on multiple occasions by standing against evil and speaking on behalf of God, even when it was not safe for him to do so; when his life was threatened by Queen Jezebel, Elijah prayed: I have been very zealous for the Lord, the God of armies; for the sons of Israel have abandoned Your covenant, torn down Your altars, and killed Your prophets with the sword. And I alone am left; and they have sought to take my life (1 Kin. 19:10). Zeal can also become a bad thing. Zeal can turn into bitterness, rivalry, and even pride. In the case of James 3:14, it is a harsh zeal that places the individual at the center of his universe at whatever cost may come to those around him. The kind of bitter Jealousy (harsh zeal) James is talking about is self-centered. The person with this kind of mindset is one whose glory and mission in this world is his own. The other source for worldly wisdom is selfish ambition. There is not much I need to say to make sure you understand what selfish ambition is. It is the kind of thing we see every four years in America: How do I make sure I get what I want. There is only one Greek word that is used here for selfish ambition, and it is eritheia. In ancient Greek it means strife, contentiousness, and selfishness. It is a word that was also used by the Greek Philosopher Aristotle to describe a self-seeking pursuit of political office by unfair means.[1] It is used in the New Testament to describe the jealous or angry leader who, forms a group which emotionally or physically withdraws from the rest of the church.[2]These are the kinds of people Paul described in Philippians 1:15-17, Some... proclaim Christ out of selfish ambition rather than from pure motives, thinking that they are causing me distress in my imprisonment. There are varying degrees that bitter jealousy and selfish ambition can come into the life of a person, but none of it is from God. Even the best of us can cave to the kinds of vices that lead to worldly wisdom. Consider some of the people from the Bible such as Abraham, David, and Solomon. God told Abraham that he would father a child with Sarah, but because pregnancy seemed impossible to the couple, Sarah came up with another plan that was culturally acceptable. Sarah said to her husband: See now, the Lord has prevented me from bearing children. Please have relations with my slave woman; perhaps I will obtain children through her. And Abram listened to the voice of Sarai (Gen. 16:2). So, the slave woman got pregnant and had a son and what Abraham got in return was one big giant mess that we are still dealing with today. David wrote much of the Psalms that are in our Bible, and he knew his Bible pretty well! He understood what Gods word said of Israels kings in Deuteronomy and most likely had memorized it. He knew that as king, he was not to acquire the kinds of properties the kings of the other nations collected to measure their glory and strength such as many horses or many wives, nor was he to hoard silver and gold (see Deut. 17:16-20). We know David knew this because he even wrote a song about it that included the verse: Some praise their chariots and some their horses, but we will praise the name of the Lord, our God (Ps. 20:7). Yet at the height of his reign as king, he conducted a census to measure the strength of his nation instead of trusting the God who told Him that his power did not come from numbers but from God alone. Can you see what Abraham and Davids stories all have in common? They followed after the wisdom of the world instead of trusting the word of God as their source of wisdom. Abraham wanted a son so badly and for his legacy to go on, so he took matters into his own hands and got his female slave pregnant. David conducted a census just like the other kings did because he needed to know how he and his nation compared to other nations. If you listen closely to the pages of scripture you can hear the serpents question with these men: Has God really said...? The wisdom of the world would lead you to an easier and wider road rather than a narrow and more difficult one. The wisdom of the world would have you erect a house on sand instead of spending the time necessary to lay a good foundation. Heavenly Wisdom Unlike worldly wisdom, the kind of wisdom that leads to the thriving life God created us to know and enjoy does not come from within, or from this world, or beneath; it comes from above where God is seated. The wisdom from above is pure, peace-loving, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy, impartial, free of hypocrisy, and full of good fruits (v. 17). From where does heavenly wisdom come from? It comes from God! Where can I gain this kind of wisdom? From the counsel God has already given, which is His word. We already saw in the first chapter that those of us who lack wisdom, are to ask God for it without doubting (1:5-6); the source of the kind of wisdom we need comes from the word of God. We gain wisdom from above when we first listen to what God has said through His word and then become a doer of it by putting what we read into practice (see 1:21-25). But here is the thing... there is no wisdom from above if you do not have the kind of faith that moves you to really trust the truth of Gods word. It is one thing to say you believe the Bible to be true and another to act upon that belief. Think for a moment about what we say we believe at Meadowbrooke; this is what we state on our webpage about the Bible: We believe the Bible, including the Old and New Testaments, is the divine revelation, the original autographs of which were verbally inspired by the Holy Spirit, thus rendering them trustworthy and solely authoritative in faith and practice (2 Tim. 3:16, 2 Pet. 1:20-21). The Scriptures reveal the mind of God concerning the need and the method of human redemption, the character and destiny of mankind, and are useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work (Jn. 5:39, 2 Tim. 3:16-17). The more important question is not if we are okay with that statement, but do we really believe it? The Bible testifies of itself: All Scripture is inspired by God and beneficial for teaching, for rebuke, for correction, for training in righteousness; so that the man or woman of God may be fully capable, equipped for every good work (2 Tim. 3:16-17). In the book of Hebrews, we are told, For the word of God is living and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, even penetrating as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart (4:12). But do you really believe it to be what it claims? If you believe the Bible to be the word of God and that it is beneficial for teaching, for correcting, and training in righteousness, then how is it shaping your choices in life, what kind of influence is it having on your relationships, how does it affect how you behave and function at work? Do you believe the Bible to be the word of God even if what it tells you to do with your life makes no sense to those around you and the rest of the world? Think about some of the things that God told His people to do. God told Abraham to leave his home in Ur and promised him a child, even though he and his wife Sarah were quickly advancing in age to the point that fathering a child would be highly improbable. The conventional wisdom of Abrahams day suggested that he father a child through one of his servants, but that was not the promise God made to Abraham. God promised a son that would be both his and Sarahs, and in their old age God provided an heir. God used men who acted upon the word of God when others thought they were nuts. Men like Moses who God commissioned to lead the Hebrews out of Egypt. Men like Joshua who God told to march around Jericho a bunch of times while blowing seven trumpets and then on the seventh day after the seventh time around the city to shout to bring down the walls of the city. Men like Gideon who God ordered to cut his army of 32,000 soldiers down to 300 to face an army of at least 135,000; each of Gideons soldiers were to carrying a torch, a clay pot, and a trumpet that they would blow after breaking the clay pot at night while surround the 135,000 Midianite army and then shout: A sword for the Lord and for Gideon! and this would be the way they would defeat an army that outnumbered them by 440 to 1 (see Judges 7:1-8:10). God raised a shepherd boy whose own father and brothers did not think much of to be a king over Israel, and it would be through his descendants a savior would be born who would rule the nations. God spoke through unlikely prophets of old, and choose an unassuming and impoverished virgin girl and her fianc to raise up the promised Messiah that she alone would be the biological parent of, and the child would grow up and live the life we could never live in a little country about the size of New Jersey for the purpose of suffering on a cross and dying under the wrath of God a death we all deserved. This is why the apostle Paul wrote, For the word of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God (1 Cor. 1:18). Gods wisdom is different! Not only is the wisdom of God different, but it is in a whole different category than the wisdom of the world. In what way is it different? We are told in verse 17, But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peace-loving, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial, free of hypocrisy. Gods words and His ways rub against the grain of the worlds conventional wisdom and is the reason the prophet Isaiah wrote of God, For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways, declares the Lord (55:8). The question for you, dear brothers and sisters, is what are you doing with it, or maybe a better question for some of you is, What will you do with His word? Conclusion What wisdom is guiding you? What wisdom is shaping your decisions? What wisdom are you applying to your marriage, your children, and your friendships? James is not offering us an option here, for what the Holy Spirit is showing us in James is that if you belong to Jesus, then you have no business with the kind of wisdom that is earthly, natural, and demonic. Why, because we are kingdom people! I told you that I believe what James is doing is simply applying Jesus sermon on the mount to everyday life. I have shared with you repeatedly that the way you come to Jesus is as one who is poor in spirit, one who mourns over sin, and one who is meek enough to lay you pride before the cross of Christ. These are the first three of Jesus beatitudes and are what theologians call, the beatitudes of need. The fourth beatitude is the fruit of the first three: Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be satisfied (Matt. 5:6). How can I be satisfied? By finding my satisfaction in the One who is infinitely righteous and from whom true wisdom is found. What does a hunger and thirst for righteousness produce when that hunger and thirst is satisfied in Jesus? It produces what theologians call the beatitudes of action. I will pick up on this next Sunday, but for now I think it is enough for you to see what James is doing with wisdom and our Lords beatitudes. What kind of fruit does wisdom from above produce? It is pure, peace-loving, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy, impartial, free of hypocrisy. Pure: Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will receive mercy (Matt. 5:8). Peace-loving: Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God (Matt. 5:9). Gentle (meek): Blessed are the gentle, for they will inherit the earth (Matt. 5:5). Reasonable (compliant): Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven (Matt. 5:3). Full of mercy: Blessed are the merciful, for they will receive mercy (Matt. 5:7). Impartial / free of hypocrisy: Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted (Matt. 4). Full of good fruit: Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be satisfied (Matt. 5:6). My question for you is what are you doing with the wisdom that comes from above? It is the wisdom from above that calls those who follow Jesus through the narrow gate instead of the broad gate (Matt. 7:13-14). The wisdom from above calls the Christian to build upon the rock instead of sand (Matt. 7:24-29). The wisdom from above calls us to action in such a way that we do not only call Jesus Lord but live in subjection to His lordship (Matt. 7:22-21). The wisdom that is earthly, natural, and demonic will lead to death. The wisdom from above will lead to the kind of living where you can truly thrive as a child of God. Some of you may need to turn from whatever wisdom that has been guiding you, by humbling yourself before God Almighty. I will leave you with James 4:3-4 and you can do with it what seems best in light of what we have considered today: You ask and do not receive, because you ask with the wrong motives, so that you may spend what you request on your pleasures. You adulteresses, do you not know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God? Therefore whoever wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God. [1] Peter H.

Daily Dose of Hope August 22, 2025   Scripture – Luke 10:25-42   Prayer:  Lord, How we need you.  Thank you for your presence, thank you for the way you continue to pursue us.  Lord, in these next few moments of silence, help us set aside our scattered thoughts and focus on you...In Your Name, Amen.   Welcome back, everyone, to the Daily Dose of Hope, a deep dive into the Gospels and Acts.  Happy Friday!  Today, we dive into the second half of Luke 10.   The first portion of today's reading is the parable of the Good Samaritan.  The story begins with an expert in religious law asking Jesus, “What should I do to inherit eternal life?” It's possible this lawyer/religious academic type is actually trying to trap Jesus.  These guys tended to think Jesus had a low regard for Law. But this man didn't realize that Jesus was actually smarter than him. Jesus answers, “What does the law say?” As you know, the Old Testament law is really long and rather than just starting to read the whole law in Leviticus and Deuteronomy, it was not uncommon to summarize it with two precepts: ·      Deut. 6:5 says, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with your soul and with all your strength.” ·      Lev. 19:18 says, “...love your neighbor as yourself. I am the Lord.”   Now, these are really, really hard principles.  The law expert, a smart man, would have known there was really no way for him to obey this law on his own. But he wanted to justify himself.  He wanted to keep trying to find a way that he could obey the law in his own power, so he asks Jesus, “Well, who is my neighbor?”  And, as we know, Jesus uses this opportunity to share a parable.    He says that a man was traveling on the road from Jerusalem to Jericho. Now, the first thing we need to understand about this road is that it was really, really dangerous. Think more dangerous than Nebraska Ave. at midnight. But there weren't a whole lot of options so people did it. Now part of what made the road so dangerous was its geography. It was 17 miles long and drops 3,000 ft. during those 17 miles. The geography also lended itself to lots of caves and nooks where bands of thieves and robbers could hang out and just wait for their next victim.   What's kind of interesting here is that Jesus does not give us a lot of information about the man who is traveling. The people Jesus was speaking to would probably automatically assume the man was a Jew like them. What we do know is that he was beaten, stripped, is probably unconscious, beaten, bloodied, and is unidentifiable. The guy was left for dead.   Now, the first man that walks by this poor guy, lying half-dead on the road, is a priest, a man of God. The Scripture says that “he crossed to the other side of the road and passed him by.” Then a temple assistant, a Levite, walked by. This time, we are given information that he looked at the man lying there, but he also decided to walk to the other side and pass the dying man without providing any help.   Next comes a Samaritan man. Many of you know that the Samaritans were despised by the Jews. 800 years before Jesus, the Northern Kingdom was conquered by the Assyrians. What the Assyrians did was disperse the Jews living there and sent groups of pagan peoples to settle in the area. The result was a lot of intermarrying between the Jews and these other people groups. So, the “purer” Jews, from the Southern Kingdom, considered the Samaritans half-breeds and looked on them with extreme contempt. In fact, the relationship between the Jews and Samaritans could probably best be described by the relationship between Jews and Palestinians – conflict, violence, and hatred.   The Samaritan finds the man half-dead along the road and he decides to care for him. He treats the man's wounds, puts him on a donkey, and carries him off to an inn. He pays for his care and makes sure that he is nursed back to health. He offers over the top kindness, the kind that is never expected and never could be repaid.   Okay, let's start with the most obvious questions.  Why did the priest and Levite walk by the dying man?  Why did the neglect someone who was obviously suffering?  Well, it would have made them ritually unclean to come into contact with blood.  They were afraid of that.  They would have found it time-consuming and maybe even embarrassing to arrive at the Temple and say, “Hey, guys, I'm unclean, can't do my work today.”    There was also the fear of physical harm (are the guys who robbed him still around?) and the reality of inconvenience.  All of these are excuses that could have been overcome and dealt with but they weren't willing to do it.   The Samaritan man could have been plagued by the same fears. He could have been attacked, he dealt with inconvenience, he gave sacrificially in order to save this man's life. But he did it anyway.  And that is what we are called to do.  What does it mean to be a neighbor?  It means being like this Samaritan.  It means dealing with the mess, the risk, and the inconvenience to show love and mercy to another person.   The last portion of today's reading is the story of Mary and Martha.  I think we often misunderstand this story. Afterall, the problem with Martha is not that she is busy serving and providing hospitality. Certainly, Jesus commends this kind of service to neighbor many times, notably in the parable of the Good Samaritan that we just read. The problem with Martha is not her serving, but rather that she is worried and distracted. She is fluttering about, messing with the food preparations, legitimately more concerned with finishing dinner than anything else.   Martha's distraction and worry leave no room for the most important aspect of hospitality--gracious attention to the guest. In fact, she breaks all the rules of hospitality by trying to embarrass her sister in front of her guest and by asking her guest to intervene in a family dispute. She even goes so far as to accuse Jesus of not caring about her (Lord, do you not care...?). Martha's worry and distraction prevent her from being truly present with Jesus. She has missed out on the “one thing needed” for true hospitality: listening to your guest (especially if the guest is Jesus!) Jesus says that Mary has chosen the better part, which will not be taken away from her.   Jesus' words to Martha may be seen as an invitation rather than a rebuke. Martha, Martha, you are worried and distracted by many things; there is need of only one thing. The one thing needed is for Martha to receive the gracious presence of Jesus, to listen to his words, to know that she is valued not for what she does or how well she does it, but for who she is as a child of God.   In a culture of hustle and bustle and over-scheduling, we are tempted to measure our worth by how busy we are, by how much we accomplish, or by how well we meet the expectations of others. We are often Marthas, thinking the busier we are, the more productive we must be. But being distracted and worried often gets in the way of our spiritual walk. Being distracted and worried gets in the way of us listening to Jesus.   When is the last time you sat at the feet of Jesus and simply listened to him? How often do you set aside time to just be still before God? Even Jesus himself made time, in the midst of a very busy schedule, to be alone with God. We know that God calls us to be listeners of his Word and doers of the Word. But how often do we participate in activities without really soaking up God first? When we do that, we are bound to serve without joy, with pride, for the wrong reasons.   Blessings, Pastor Vicki
