Leviticus 15 speaks of issues arising from the flesh. Once again talking about the sin that arises from the conflict between that which is natural to us; and the developing mind which is striving for holiness before our Father (Romans 7 verses 15-8 verse11 consider carefully). Verses 1-15 talk of running issues in men – verses 1-12 the unclean issue and how it is transferred from one to another; verses 13-15 tell of the period of cleansing and the required offerings. Verses 16-18 address impurity in physical relationships between man and woman. Verses 19-30 outline running issues in women – verses 19-24 talks of normal menstruation and the measures to be followed in order to avoid the transferring of impurity and disease; verses 25-27 abnormal and prolonged menstruation (a woman with this problem was cured by our Lord Jesus Christ; see Mark 5 verses 24-34); verses 28-30 the period of purification and the necessary offerings. Verses 31-33 describe the reason for these laws about issues. Consider the importance the LORD places on these laws (v31). In Psalm 117 we have the shortest “chapter” in the Bible. In Psalm 118 we have the middle “chapter” of the Scriptures. And in verse 22 of Psalm 118 we have the middle verse of the Bible. It of course centres on our Lord Jesus Christ for he is the central theme of the Scriptures. He is in every chapter; and without him there can be no Bible. “THE STONE WHICH THE BUILDERS REJECTED HAS BECOME THE CORNERSTONE” (ESV). Psalm 117 calls upon all nations to extol Yahweh for His everlasting kindness (“chesed”) and truth (Romans 11 verses 22-23). These will be the hallmarks of the Kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ. Psalm 118 continues the theme of the LORD's enduring stedfast kindness. It is a Messianic Psalm so often quoted in the New Testament. The saints must thank our Sovereign (Yahweh – the LORD) for His covenant love. From verses 5-21 is a pattern of prayer calling from out of the Psalmist's (Jesus') distress; alternating with praise and thankfulness for the writer's deliverance. The trials surrounding our Lord's crucifixion are described in verses 5-7, verses 10-13 and verses 17-18. The songs of thanksgiving are found in verses 8-9, verses 14-16 and verses 19-21. Note that Messiah says that his enemies would be destroyed in the name of Yahweh (compare Proverbs 18:10). The great work of the Almighty is the focus of the twenty second verse (Isaiah 8 verses 11-16, 28 verses 14-17; 1 Peter 2 verses 4-10). The three synoptic gospel accounts all quote verses 22-23 of Psalm 118, as applying to our Lord's crucifixion. When our Lord Jesus rode into Jerusalem prior to his death the multitude cried out in the words of verse 25-26. Verses 27-28 tell us that' like Isaac (Genesis 22), our Lord was bound – and yet he willingly submitted to the painful and humiliating appointed death. And so Messiah, the now glorious, but previously slain, Saviour praises his Almighty Father in a redeemed and immortalised body. “O give thanks to Yahweh, for He is good; for His stedfast love endures forever!” (Verse 29 ESV). 2 Corinthians 10 tells us that the battle for Christ's soldiers is in the realm of their mind – a spiritual warfare designed to bring every thought into captivity to Christ. The great Apostle answers his critics who claim that he could cogently argue, but was a weak orator. Paul promises to sort these foes out when he comes to Corinth. Commendation from the tongue of humans is worthless. The Apostle's approval would come from the Lord Jesus Christ. In chapter 11 Paul tells them that he loves and guards them from their enemies and would be deceivers. The Apostle says that he is as a true husband to the disciples who he has begotten in Christ: compare Galatians 4:19-20. Paul gives an analogy from Genesis 3 proving that the events of the temptation in Eden really happened. Then from verses 7-15 the Apostle sarcastically compares himself with the false teachers – the judaisers. Finally from the 16th verse to the chapter's end he composes a catalogue of his sufferings in order to assert his credentials as a committed Apostle of Christ. Paul concludes the list with an account of an act earlier after his conversion of which he was ashamed. His seemingly fleeing from Damascus after having being let down the wall in a basket to escape.

There is . . . one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. — Ephesians 4:4-6 Citizens of the same country have many things in common. For example, they share the same territory, language, and history. In a similar way Christians are one in Christ. We are united spiritually with the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. In terms of doctrine, we are united by the same confession: the same faith, the same hope, the same baptism. And in day-to-day life we as Christians are called to demonstrate this unity. Rather than focusing on differences, which are only of minor importance, Paul lays the foundation for our unity. We have all been baptized in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We profess the truths that Jesus lived among us, died on the cross, and rose from the dead. Our lives are led by the same Lord. As Christians, we share the same hope of living in the fullness of joy in Christ forever. As Christians, we are filled with the same Spirit, through whom we cry, “Abba, Father” (Romans 8:15-16). Let us therefore make this unity visible. When we are focused on the things that bind us together, we can live in unity and maintain the bond of peace. Where might there be differences in your family, church, and community? How can you emphasize what you have in common rather than what your differences are? What can you do to foster Christian unity despite the differences? Father God, you call us to one common faith. Help us, your church, to strive for unity and to live for you. Amen.

Life in the Spirit, The Father | Romans by Christ Covenant

We are familar with the frequent exhortations to believers to sing to God. It is a command of Scripture. An example is Psalm 92- 1-5 It is good to praise Yahweh,-to sing praise to Your name, Most High,to declare Your faithful love in the morning-and Your faithfulness at night,with a ten-stringed harp and the music of a lyre. For You have made me rejoice, Lord, by what You have done--I will shout for joy because of the works of Your hands.-5 How magnificent are Your works, Yahweh, how profound Your thoughts---You may find it a refreshing revelation that our God sings over the works of his almighty saving hand. Zephaniah 3-17-Yahweh your God is among you, a warrior who saves.-He will rejoice over you with gladness.-He will bring you quietness with His love.-He will delight in you with shouts of joy.---In the days of his earthly ministry Jesus, the Word made flesh sang with his disciples. Mark 14-26 And after they had sung the hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives. The psalm hymn is Psalm 118.--In his ascension our Lord Jesus is the our great high priest who presents our praises with own to God the Father- Romans 15-8 For I say, Christ has become a servant of the circumcision on behalf of the truth of God, in order to confirm the promises to the fathers, 9 and that the Gentiles may glorify God for his mercy, just as it is written,---Because of this, I will praise you among the Gentiles,- and I will sing praise to your name.---10 And again it says,---Rejoice, Gentiles, with his people.---11 And again,---Praise the Lord, all the Gentiles,- and let all the peoples praise him.---12 And again Isaiah says,---The root of Jesse will come,- even the one who rises to r

A Sunday morning sermon by Pastor Brett Deal. Exploring the book of Esther, we've met people who risked their lives to speak up for themselves and others. In these pages, we've come face to face with marginalized foreigners like Mordecai and Esther, who miraculously found themselves with cultural capital to spend for the sake of others. We should ask ourselves: if we were in their place, would we risk our lives, our comfort, our place in society, for the sake of God's people? Hopefully as we've spent this time with Esther and Mordecai, we've discovered, just as they did, that standing up for what is right is dangerous when we are immersed in a hostile world. We would be tempted to think that grasping at power is the answer. We think if we had the power we could walk righteously with the strong. But reading the book of Esther we see countless examples of those who walked with the strong, corrupted by the power they reached out to hold. No greater example can be found here than the life of Haman the Agagite. By the time we meet him, he is wealthy, affluent and influential, but he is also grotesquely deformed by his own craven hunger for power. It is that malformation that will sadly lead to his vicious end. As we prepare to sit down for dinner with Haman one last time, let's heed the challenging words of Peter Hon Wan Lau: “When we reflect on our lives, we might find that we are sometimes like Haman. We are tempted to place pride in our possessions and achievements. We are tempted to seek honor from those around us.” Friends, as we prepare our hearts, let us follow Esther's wisdom into our new lives in Christ. Where have we allowed the views of this world to deform our view of the life Jesus offers us (Galatians 1.6-12)? Where have we co-opted His good news and made it into a cultural possession for our own advancement (Philippians 1.15-18)? Beloved, where have we allowed pride to corrupt our minds, causing us to miss the blessing of transformation promised to us by the Father (Romans 12.1-2)?

Sermon series: This I Believe, The Apostles' Creed The Apostles' Creed, which gives us a summarised picture of the Gospel, begins by telling us who is this very God that Christians believe in. He is our Father Almighty and the Creator of all things. Those who trust in Jesus are adopted into God's family, and God becomes their ever-present help. Preacher: Joel Sim Date: 7 April 2024

What was God the Father's role that first Easter? God the Father was at work fulfilling His promise to redeem His people from sin, bringing to fruition the events foretold by His prophets, revealing His love for us at the cross, and preparing His people for the day when we will be reunited with Him.

More broken than we know, more loved than we can comprehend. Welcome to the weekly sermon podcast of Grace Church Bellingham.

This is a special recording just for those of y'all listening on the podcast - I tapped record in Large Group but it didn't record, so I re-recorded for y'all. Enjoy! 

As we continue in Romans 8, today we look at verses 9-17. We see that we have within us the Spirit of God. Through this Spirit, we cry out, “Abba, Father.”  Abba is best understood as the word “daddy.”  The title Daddy is not biological; it is relational. I talk today about how my daddy is not blood kin to me; I've been adopted as God adopts us and makes us His. His Spirit joins with ours, that we are His, and we have that assurance that we are God's very own.  Today, let's cry out to our Daddy. Let's cry out to our Abba, Father.  Join us for our daily reflections with Andy. In 10 short minutes, he'll dig a little deeper into Scripture and help you better understand God's Word.If you'd like to receive this daily reflection on your phone, text @39110 to 81010 to sign up.Read our passage here - https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans%208%3A9-17&version=NRSVUEYou can watch this in video form here - https://revandy.org/blog/

The Holy Triune God “shows His love for us in that while we were still sinners,” ungodly and at enmity with Him, “Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8). The incarnate Son has justified us by His blood and reconciled us to His God and Father (Romans 5:9–10). Whereas sin and death originated with Adam, forgiveness and life abound for all His children through “that one man Jesus Christ” (Romans 5:12–17). As the Lord brought Israel out of Egypt, so does He bring us to Himself by the Gospel and make of us “a kingdom of priests and a holy nation” (Exodus 19:6) by our Baptism into Christ. For “all that the LORD has spoken” (Exodus 19:8), Christ has done for us. As He has gone up to God by His cross and resurrection, so does He bring us to the Father in Himself (Exodus 19:3–4). Nor does He leave us “harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd” (Matthew 9:36), but He sends men with authority “to heal every disease and every affliction” by His forgiveness of sins (Matthew 10:1). In their proclamation, “the kingdom of heaven is at hand” (Matthew 10:7).

Sunday Service | How Can I Please God??   Website: www.PastorTodd.org To Give: www.ToddCoconato.com/give When talking about His Father in heaven, Jesus said, “I always do what pleases him” (John 8:29). Because Jesus was the Son of God, of one nature with the Father, He knew what pleased God. But we are fallible human beings. How can we know what pleases Him? God has always made it clear to His people what it takes to please Him. He is not random or arbitrary in His judgments: “To be sure, sin was in the world before the law was given, but sin is not charged against anyone's account where there is no law” (Romans 5:13). Although humankind had been sinning since creation, God was patient because He had not yet given His written law to Israel (Exodus 25:22). But even without a written law, people knew right from wrong. Romans 1:20 explains: “For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood from His workmanship, so that men are without excuse.” We have a moral code written on our hearts (Romans 2:15). We know instinctively when we are doing wrong because we were created in the image of God (Genesis 1:27). So when we choose against that inner knowledge, we harden our hearts, sear our consciences, and eventually cannot tell good from bad (Romans 1:28). As unregenerate sinners, nothing we do pleases God. Romans 8:7–8 says, “The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God's law, nor can it do so. Those who are in the realm of the flesh cannot please God.” The only way we can please God is to submit to His authority in our lives. We start by receiving His Son, Jesus Christ, as our Savior and Lord (Romans 10:9–10). Only those who come to God through His Son can be forgiven and made right with Him (John 14:6). We receive salvation as a gift (Ephesians 2:8–9). It cannot be earned no matter how good we try to be. But it pleases God when we receive the gifts He offers us: forgiveness (Acts 2:38), eternal life (John 3:16–18), and a relationship with Him as our Father (Romans 8:15). Once we've been born again as a child of God (John 3:3), we are pleasing to Him. We are “in Christ” and therefore seen by God as perfect, as Christ is perfect. The Lord's righteousness was placed on our account while our sin was transferred to Him (2 Corinthians 5:21). We don't have to work toward becoming pleasing to God. We are “accepted in the Beloved” (Ephesians 1:6, NKJV), cleansed and forgiven through faith in Jesus. Because of that great gift and the love poured out on us by our heavenly Father, we discover many more ways to please Him. The concept of pleasing God can be compared to a marriage. A woman accepts a man's proposal and becomes his wife because she loves him and he loves her. They are as married and in love as two people can be, yet they seek ways to continue pleasing each other. He brings her flowers, not so that they will remain married, but because he delights in pleasing her. She gives him a backrub and wears the perfume he likes, not so that he will love her but because she loves him. Likewise, once we've entered into a spiritual relationship with God, we want to do things that honor and delight Him. Micah 6:8 tells us what pleases God, listing three basic actions: to do justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with our God. When we live with integrity in both our public and private lives, when we show mercy to those who wrong us, and when we cling tightly to God's Word and crave His presence, we will make choices that please God. We will never become perfect while living in this broken world, but we can aim for perfection as we model ourselves after Jesus (Romans 8:29). God was “well pleased” with His Son (Matthew 3:17), and the more we resemble Jesus, the more we will also please God.

Paul Buckley - God Our Father - (Romans 6:9-13) - June 19th, 2022 by King of Grace Church

"The F.A.I.T.H. Of Abba, Father" {Romans 8:14-25} Call 917.388.4161 Saturdays 10am EST/9am CST to hear a Rhema Word, ask for prayer or give a praise report.

Bob DeGray, Romans 8:12-17, June 12, 2022. It’s a privilege to be adopted, intimate sons and daughters of God.

Jesus reveals that the foundation of prayer is relationship. He is our Father, we are God's children. This means that he loves us and is deeply concerned with our well-being. It also means that formulaic, heartless, technique-driven prayer is not what God is after. In this message from Gordon Dabbs, Ph.D., we learn how to approach God from a place of humble confidence, trusting in the relationship we have with our Heavenly Father because of what Jesus accomplished for us. About the Series Why is it that some believers can't wait to spend time with the Lord in prayer while others see it as a lifeless duty to be fulfilled? The answer can be unlocked by turning to the actual prayers that people of faith brought before God in the Bible. In the Dear Lord message series, Gordon and others will take prayers straight from the Word of God which can reinvigorate our relationships with the Lord. These “prayer starters” can help guide us into deeper and more meaningful conversations with our Creator.Subscribe to PRESTONCREST - with Gordon Dabbs on Soundwise

What Does it Mean to be a Child of Royalty…Early on, we discovered that the central message of Jesus was about the Kingdom of God or the Kingdom of Heaven. He began His ministry preaching the same message as John the Baptist, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand” (Matt. 4:17). Then, He continued revealing the value of the Kingdom and what life was like in the Kingdom. Look at just a few of these summary verses of His ministry: And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease among the people – Matthew 4:23. Then Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people – Matthew 9:35. When Jesus sent out His own disciples to preach and heal, notice what He told them. “And as you go, preach, saying, ‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand.” – Matthew 10:7. Almost all the parables focused on the Kingdom (including the Kingdom parables in Matthew 13). “Therefore the kingdom of heaven is like a certain king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants” – Matthew 18:23. “For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard” – Matthew 20:1. “The kingdom of heaven is like a certain king who arranged a marriage for his son” – Matthew 22:2. “Then the kingdom of heaven shall be likened to ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom” – Matthew 25:1. “For the kingdom of heaven is like a man traveling to a far country, who called his own servants and delivered his goods to them” – Matthew 25:14. Jesus even tied the message of salvation given to Nicodemus in John 3 to seeing and entering the Kingdom. Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” Jesus answered, “”Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God” – John 3:3, 5. And Jesus also spoke about the Kingdom during the forty days between His resurrection and ascension. Look how the book of Acts begins. The former account I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach, until the day in which He was taken up, after He through the Holy Spirit had given commandments to the apostles whom He had chosen, to whom He also presented Himself alive after His suffering by many infallible proofs, being seen by them during forty days and speaking of (what) the things pertaining to the kingdom of God – Acts 1:1-3. But there is so much more. …When the Royalty is God Himself?  What allowed the early church to thrive under great persecution was the fact they fully understood the Kingdom of God and the blessed ramifications of God being their King. But they were also fully aware they were not only subjects of the great King, but children of His. In fact, as beloved children, they became heirs, and joint-heirs with Christ. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these (the ones led by the Spirit of God) are sons of God. For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father” – Romans 8:14-15. But it gets better. The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs— heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together – Romans 8:16-17. And we haven't even looked at how much the Father loves His children, which is beyond comprehension. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written: “For Your sake we are killed all day long; we are accounted as sheep for the...

Matthew 27 describes one of the most heart-wrenching episodes ever recorded. After hours of physical beating, the Son of God, the promised Messiah, is now on trial before Pilate. He is there because Judas, one of His disciples, has betrayed Him. The other disciples, some of whom declared their allegiance to Him only hours before, have scattered. Now Jesus stands alone before Pilate, the Roman governor who is supposed to uphold the rule of law. On three separate occasions, Pilate states that he finds Jesus “not guilty.” But despite knowing Jesus's innocence, Pilate yields to the crowd and condemns Jesus to death (John 18:38-19:22). After a grueling night of physical, mental, and emotional pain, Jesus is finally nailed to the cross, an excruciating form of execution. The Scriptures tell us He made seven different statements from the cross, but none as dramatic as His cry in Matthew 27:46, when He quoted Psalm 22:1, “My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?” In this very moment, Jesus was bearing the sins of the world. The perfect Lamb of God, unblemished and without fault, accepted the guilt and shame of our sins. Jesus and the Father had always enjoyed perfect fellowship. But now, carrying the sins of the world, Jesus stood in judgment from His Father. No wonder Jesus had prayed earlier in the Garden of Gethsemane, “My Father! If it is possible, let this cup of suffering be taken away from me. Yet I want your will to be done, not mine” (Matthew 26:39). As horrible as the experience had been up to this moment, suffering His Father's wrath was surely the low point of Jesus's suffering. But this was the only way to fulfill the holy justice of God and open the door of relationship that our sins had closed. In love, Jesus provided the perfect, ultimate sacrifice. And after three days, God raised Jesus from the dead! Jesus's willingness to suffer the Father's just wrath allows us to be adopted by the Father. Because Jesus cried out from the cross, “Why have you abandoned me?” we can now shout in the joy of adoption, “Abba, Father” (Romans 8:15). • Mike Hurley • How does what Jesus did on the cross reveal God's love for us? (Check out our "Know Jesus" page.) • If you'd like to dig deeper, read Acts 2:22-36 and Romans 8:15-39. Jesus called out with a loud voice...“My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?” Matthew 27:46b (NLT)
