Resurrection life is at the heart of not only the Easter season, but the Gospel itself. It is hope for this life and for the life to come. Join us this week as we meditate on the hope of the Gospel found in some the promises of the God's Word. Note: The middle of this podcast includes six times of silence for reflection on a passage. If you wish to extend these times of reflection, simply pause the podcast and continue when you are ready.
Morning: Deuteronomy 33:27; Psalm 18:2; Psalm 18:18; Psalm 18:31–32; Psalm 34:7; Psalm 34:17; Isaiah 12:6; Jeremiah 3:23; 1 Corinthians 15:10; Hebrews 13:6 The Lord was my support. “Truly the hills are a delusion, the orgies on the mountains. Truly in the Lord our God is the salvation of Israel.”—The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer, my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.—“Shout, and sing for joy, O inhabitant of Zion, for great in your midst is the Holy One of Israel.” The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him, and delivers them…. When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears and delivers them out of all their troubles.—“The eternal God is your dwelling place, and underneath are the everlasting arms.”—So we can confidently say, “The Lord is my helper; I will not fear; what can man do to me?”—For who is God, but the Lord? And who is a rock, except our God?—the God who equipped me with strength and made my way blameless. But by the grace of God I am what I am.

I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.” “What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the open country, and go after the one that is lost, until he finds it?” Psalm 23:3 (Listen) 3 He restores my soul.

My soul makes its boast in the Lord; let the humble hear and be glad. Oh, magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt his name together!

And there is nothing on earth that I desire besides you.—We love because he first loved us. My beloved speaks and says to me: “Arise, my love, my beautiful one, and come away, for behold, the winter is past; the rain is over and gone. The flowers appear on the earth, the time of singing has come, and the voice of the turtledove is heard in our land. The fig tree ripens its figs, and the vines are in blossom; they give forth fragrance. Arise, my love, my beautiful one, and come away.” Psalm 73:25 (Listen) 25 Whom have I in heaven but you?

Make no mistake. Choosing faith over fear is a decision. The decision is founded in obedience to the true and living God instead of capitulation to the flesh. Choosing faith over fear means denying our emotional state when our emotions deceive us into abandoning the truth. It means that no matter how hard things get, we choose believe Gods word by walking In obedience to what He says, no matter what. Only in that will we find faith in the midst of every fearful circumstance life presents.

For I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you.”—“Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is the Lord your God who goes with you. He will not leave you or forsake you.” For Demas, in love with this present world has deserted me…. At my first defense no one came to stand by me, but all deserted me. May it not be charged against them! But the Lord stood by me and strengthened me.—For my father and my mother have forsaken me, but the Lord will take me in. “And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”—“[I am] the living one. I died, and behold I am alive forevermore.”— “I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.”—“My peace I give to you. “ Genesis 28:15 (Listen) 15 Behold, I am with you and will keep you wherever you go, and will bring you back to this land. For I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you.” (ESV) Deuteronomy 31:6 (Listen) 6 Be strong and courageous.

And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” (ESV) John 14:18 (Listen) 18 “I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. (ESV) John 14:27 (Listen) 27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. (ESV) 2 Timothy 4:10 (Listen) 10 For Demas, in love with this present world, has deserted me and gone to Thessalonica. Crescens has gone to Galatia,1 Titus to Dalmatia. Footnotes [1] 4:10 Some manuscripts Gaul (ESV) 2 Timothy 4:16–17 (Listen) 16 At my first defense no one came to stand by me, but all deserted me. May it not be charged against them! 17 But the Lord stood by me and strengthened me, so that through me the message might be fully proclaimed and all the Gentiles might hear it. So I was rescued from the lion's mouth. (ESV) Hebrews 13:5–6 (Listen) 5 Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” 6 So we can confidently say, “The Lord is my helper; I will not fear; what can man do to me?” (ESV) Revelation 1:18 (Listen) 18 and the living one. I died, and behold I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of Death and Hades.

Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit…. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” “The kingdom of heaven is like a net that was thrown into the sea.” For if I preach the gospel, that gives me no ground for boasting. For necessity is laid upon me. Woe to me if I do not preach the gospel!… I have become all things to all people, that by all means I might save some. And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.—“So shall my word be that goes out from my mouth; it shall not return to me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I purpose.”—So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth. Isaiah 55:11 (Listen) 11 so shall my word be that goes out from my mouth; it shall not return to me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I purpose, and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it. (ESV) Matthew 13:47 (Listen) The Parable of the Net 47 “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was thrown into the sea and gathered fish of every kind. (ESV) Matthew 28:18–20 (Listen) 18 And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in1 the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” Footnotes [1] 28:19 Or into (ESV) Luke 5:5 (Listen) 5 And Simon answered, “Master, we toiled all night and took nothing!

A PASTOR'S ACCOUNTABILITY (Hebrews 13:17) The topic of our message is going to be on the accountability of the preachers and pastors that lead our churches. But, this message is not only for our pastors, it is for each of you as well, because you will also face a day of judgment. The Bible teaches that if the pastor is God's man, then you ought to follow him; if he's not, then you ought to fire him. It's just that simple. It is a fact that one of these days, every pastor, every preacher, every minister, must face the Lord, and He's going to ask them to give an account of their ministry. But, it's also a fact that each of us who are a true follower of Christ will one day face the Lord, and we will also have to give an accounting for not only, if we were obedient to God's command to be submissive to our pastors, but for our own Christian work and ministry that God has given us. Now, we are saved by grace through faith, and we cannot work our way to heaven. But, somehow people have gotten the idea that they can live just any way they like, do anything they like, and because they're saved by grace they can just go to sleep in a Pullman car and just coast into the yards of glory and it will make absolutely no difference how they serve the Lord, what they did, or whatever. But the Bible teaches to the contrary. The Bible teaches there is coming a day of accountability. The preacher is going to face an accountability. He is going to have to answer to God for the way he leads his church. Even though he is saved by grace, he will have to give an account. Click on the play button to hear a message that will describe how Christ will hold pastors, and their followers, accountable the work that they have done in the name of our Lord.

Morning: Genesis 13:10–11; Luke 17:32; 2 Corinthians 6:14; 2 Corinthians 6:17; Galatians 6:7; Ephesians 5:7–8; Ephesians 5:10–11; 2 Peter 2:7–8 And Lot lifted up his eyes and saw that the Jordan Valley was well watered everywhere like the garden of the Lord, like the land of Egypt, in the direction of Zoar. (This was before the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.) So Lot chose for himself all the Jordan Valley. Lot… that righteous man. Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap.—“Remember Lot's wife.” Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?… “Therefore go out from their midst, and be separate from them, says the Lord, and touch no unclean thing.”—Therefore do not associate with them; for at one time you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light… and try to discern what is pleasing to the Lord. Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them. Genesis 13:10–11 (Listen) 10 And Lot lifted up his eyes and saw that the Jordan Valley was well watered everywhere like the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt, in the direction of Zoar. (This was before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.) 11 So Lot chose for himself all the Jordan Valley, and Lot journeyed east. Thus they separated from each other. (ESV) Luke 17:32 (Listen) 32 Remember Lot's wife. (ESV) 2 Corinthians 6:14 (Listen) The Temple of the Living God 14 Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness? (ESV) 2 Corinthians 6:17 (Listen) 17 Therefore go out from their midst, and be separate from them, says the Lord, and touch no unclean thing; then I will welcome you, (ESV) Galatians 6:7 (Listen) 7 Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap. (ESV) Ephesians 5:7–8 (Listen) 7 Therefore do not become partners with them; 8 for at one time you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light (ESV) Ephesians 5:10–11 (Listen) 10 and try to discern what is pleasing to the Lord. 11 Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them. (ESV) 2 Peter 2:7–8 (Listen) 7 and if he rescued righteous Lot, greatly distressed by the sensual conduct of the wicked 8 (for as that righteous man lived among them day after day, he was tormenting his righteous soul over their lawless deeds that he saw and heard); (ESV) Evening: Joshua 14:12; Judges 6:12; Judges 6:14; Psalm 71:16; Isaiah 32:17; Ephesians 6:12–14; Hebrews 13:5–6 “It may be that the Lord will be with me, and I shall drive them out just as the Lord said.” He has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” So we can confidently say, “The Lord is my helper; I will not fear; what can man do to me?”—With the mighty deeds of the Lord God I will come; I will remind them of your righteousness, yours alone. And the effect of righteousness will be peace, and the result of righteousness, quietness and trust forever. Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness…. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm.—“The Lord is with you…. Go in this might of yours.” Joshua 14:12 (Listen) 12 So now give me this hill country of which the LORD spoke on that day, for you heard on that day how the Anakim were there, with great fortified cities. It may be that the LORD will be with me, and I shall drive them out just as the LORD said.” (ESV) Judges 6:12 (Listen) 12 And the angel of the LORD appeared to him and said to him, “The LORD is with you, O mighty man of valor.” (ESV) Judges 6:14 (Listen) 14 And the LORD1 turned to him and said, “Go in this might of yours and save Israel from the hand of Midian; do not I send you?” Footnotes [1] 6:14 Septuagint the angel of the Lord; also verse 16 (ESV) Psalm 71:16 (Listen) 16 With the mighty deeds of the Lord GOD I will come; I will remind them of your righteousness, yours alone. (ESV) Isaiah 32:17 (Listen) 17 And the effect of righteousness will be peace, and the result of righteousness, quietness and trust1 forever. Footnotes [1] 32:17 Or security (ESV) Ephesians 6:12–14 (Listen) 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. 14 Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, (ESV) Hebrews 13:5–6 (Listen) 5 Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” 6 So we can confidently say, “The Lord is my helper; I will not fear; what can man do to me?” (ESV)

A LIFE WITHOUT FEAR (Hebrews 13:5-6) When the old mapmakers were drawing ancient maps, they did not know what we know today. They didn't have global positioning satellites. They could not see the world from outer space, and they would make maps of what they knew. But there was much that they did not know, and when they would come to the edge of their knowledge, they would often write something like this: “Beyond this, there may be dragons.” And, if you will look at some of the old maps, you will see the sea monster in the ocean right alongside those words. This is because man has an innate fear of the future, and of the unknown. The fear of the future is a foe that we all face. Whether we are young or old, rich or poor, educated or uneducated, we wonder about what is going to happen. Fear has no racial bias. It's endemic to all people. There is a fear of where our country is heading. There is a fear of the persecution of Christians that is occurring as our country, and world, move further and further away from the Biblical values of God, and God Himself. There is fear of the violence that is occurring all around us. There is a fear of financial loss and the inability to pay the bills that are sitting on your table at home. There is a fear of disease and failing health in a world filled with cancer and pandemics. These are just a few of the things that we face in an uncertain future, and yet, God wants us to have a future without fear. As a matter of fact, God has not only admonished us, but God has commanded us, not to fear. Click on the play button to hear a message that will teach you how to live a life free of fear.

Morning: Job 9:25–26; Job 14:1–2; Psalm 90:5–6; Psalm 102:26–27; Hebrews 13:8; James 4:14; 1 John 2:17 What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes. “My days are swifter than a runner; they flee away; they see no good. They go by like skiffs of reed, like an eagle swooping on the prey.”—You sweep them away as with a flood; they are like a dream, like grass that is renewed in the morning: in the morning it flourishes and is renewed; in the evening it fades and withers.—“Man who is born of a woman is few of days and full of trouble. He comes out like a flower and withers.” And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever.—They will perish, but you will remain; they will all wear out like a garment. You will change them like a robe, and they will pass away, but you are the same, and your years have no end.—Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.

Genesis 22:8 (Listen) 8 Abraham said, “God will provide for himself the lamb for a burnt offering, my son.” So they went both of them together.

Hello and welcome to Move Forth With Grace! The podcast where we can read the Bible in a year or faster if you'd like now that it is recorded and ready for you. I believe that God has placed this podcast on my heart and I am so excited to see where He takes us. I have prayed for Him to show me how I can be of service to Him alone and I believe that this is one of the ways. I want to first of all say that I am not an expert in Theology or Church History and I never will claim to be. I am a 44 year old woman who has been reborn and want to be of service to Him in gratitude for calling me back home. The version of the Bible that I will be reading from is The Founder's Bible and it is a New American Standard Version and includes historical documents from our founding fathers and how they were inspired by the word of God when they were forming our country.

Morning: Proverbs 27:1; Ecclesiastes 9:10; Luke 12:19–21; John 12:35–36; 2 Corinthians 6:2; James 4:14; 1 John 2:17 Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring. Behold, now is the favorable time; behold, now is the day of salvation.—“The light is among you for a little while longer. Walk while you have the light, lest darkness overtake you. The one who walks in the darkness does not know where he is going. While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become sons of light.”—Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might, for there is no work or thought or knowledge or wisdom in Sheol, to which you are going. “‘Soul, you have ample goods laid up for many years; relax, eat, drink, be merry.' ‘Fool! This night your soul is required of you, and the things you have prepared, whose will they be?' So is the one who lays up treasure for himself and is not rich toward God.” What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes.—And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever. Proverbs 27:1 (Listen) 27 Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring. (ESV) Ecclesiastes 9:10 (Listen) 10 Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might,1 for there is no work or thought or knowledge or wisdom in Sheol, to which you are going. Footnotes [1] 9:10 Or finds to do with your might, do it (ESV) Luke 12:19–21 (Listen) 19 And I will say to my soul, “Soul, you have ample goods laid up for many years; relax, eat, drink, be merry.”' 20 But God said to him, ‘Fool! This night your soul is required of you, and the things you have prepared, whose will they be?' 21 So is the one who lays up treasure for himself and is not rich toward God.” (ESV) John 12:35–36 (Listen) 35 So Jesus said to them, “The light is among you for a little while longer. Walk while you have the light, lest darkness overtake you. The one who walks in the darkness does not know where he is going. 36 While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become sons of light.” The Unbelief of the People When Jesus had said these things, he departed and hid himself from them. (ESV) 2 Corinthians 6:2 (Listen) 2 For he says, “In a favorable time I listened to you, and in a day of salvation I have helped you.” Behold, now is the favorable time; behold, now is the day of salvation. (ESV) James 4:14 (Listen) 14 yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes. (ESV) 1 John 2:17 (Listen) 17 And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever.

Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever you had formed the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God. “For I the Lord do not change; therefore you, O children of Jacob, are not consumed.”—Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.—For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable. God is not man, that he should lie, or a son of man, that he should change his mind.—The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end. But he holds his priesthood permanently, because he continues forever. Consequently, he is able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him, since he always lives to make intercession for them.—“Fear not, I am the first and the last.” Numbers 23:19 (Listen) 19 God is not man, that he should lie, or a son of man, that he should change his mind. Has he said, and will he not do it? Or has he spoken, and will he not fulfill it? (ESV) Psalm 90:2 (Listen) 2 Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever you had formed the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God.

Hebrews 13: 13 - 25 Seek A New City by Matt Freeman
Let that brotherly love keep flowing. Contentment is a good way to stay away from idolatry. We have a better altar to eat from. And it's ok to be outside the city as we wait for a city yet to come.

In Hebrews 13:1, we are not merely commanded to continue in a “universal love” for all people, but in a “brotherly love” for our fellow believers. The same principle of Hebrews 13:1 is continued in Hebrews 13:2-3, and further fleshed out through practical examples. First, we are commanded to “not neglect show[ing] hospitality to strangers.” Hospitality is literally defined as the friendly and generous reception and entertainment of guests, visitors, or strangers. However, the obligation to “strangers” referenced in Hebrews 13:2 must not be understood as a blatant contradiction to what was just commanded in the prior verse, namely, “brotherly love.” 34 “The King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. 35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.' 37 “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38 When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39 When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?' 40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.'”Matthew 25:34-40 ESV 9 Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. 10 Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers. Galatians 6:9-10 ESV
