How will people know we are followers of Jesus? In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus called upon his disciples to love not only neighbors but their enemies. On another occasion Luke tells us that Jesus was asked, “Who is my neighbor?” Jesus defined a neighbor by telling of the unexpected kindness of a Samaritan to a man who had been robbed. Loving others reveals our relationship with the heavenly Father. Message based on Matthew 5:43-48 and Luke 10:25-37.#Jesus #Love #Compassion #GoodSamaritan #Selflessness Quotes:Thomas Linacre: Either these are not the gospels or we are not Christians.Adam Davidson: I would understand Christians being sad about somebody else's sin, but I can't understand Christians being mad at them. Anne-Marie Zellers: Lord help me to treat others in a way that leads them to you.Duane Brooks: Every person we meet on the street or at the grocery store we know a few things:  they are created in God's image; Jesus loved them so much he died on the cross for their sins.Kurt Kaiser: Oh how he loves you and me . . . oh how he loves you and me; he gave his life, what more could he give? Oh how he loves you. Oh how he loves me. Oh how he loves you and me.Duane Brooks: We have been loved too well by our heavenly Father to speak and act unkindly to people even if they think they are our enemies.G. K. Chesterton: The Bible tells us to love our neighbors and also to love our enemies; probably because they are generally the same people.Duane Brooks: We have been forgiven too much not to forgive others.A mentor said to John Claypool: stay as close as you can to the Father, and to others and work to bring them closer to each other.John Murphrey wrote a poem for his wife Ann.  She died on February 2, 2008.I met Him long ago, But why so long for meTo hear His daily whispers to my soulI guess I'll never knowHe lived and breathed before my eyes Each time she looked my wayToday she lives within my heartAn example of His bestShe opened up my mind to HimHis living-presence she displayedThis “living-presence in her heartThat's what defined her lifeLeft me aching for the sameUntil the Master cameNow I know what she knew thenHis spirit lives and breathsSeeks and find a heart like hers to express Himself to all on earthSoren Kierkegaard: Most people really believe that the Christian commandments (for example, to love one's neighbor as oneself) are intentionally a little too severe—like putting the clock ahead half an hour to make sure of not being late in the morning.Bishop Whipple: I have tried to see the face of Christ in those with whom I differed.Helmut Thielecke: Loving our enemies is not loving the dirt in which the pearl is buried but the pearl which lies in the dust.  God does not love us because we are lovable.  But we become lovable because he loves us.C. S. Lewis: Do not waste your time bothering whether you “love” your neighbor; act as if you did.  As soon as we do this we find one of the great secrets.  When you are behaving as if you loved someone, you will presently come to love him. Thomas Merton:  To love someone is to will the good for them.Duane Brooks: Your enemies are not my enemies.To discover more messages of hope go to tallowood.org/sermons/.Follow us on Instagram, X, and YouTube @tallowoodbc.Follow us on FaceBook @tallowoodbaptist

Everyone who has played with Brayden Mitchell will testify that he is one of the greatest lads to play the game, he was a champion team mate on and off the field, who loved a good time and could always back it up when on the pitch. Some of the stories and reflections that the man they call Scratcher has in this episode were incredible to hear. He was so honest, held back nothing and can tell a seriously good yarn!Some bits that stood out for me in this one were...How hard the struggle of retiring from rugby due to a neck injury was for himHis relationship with gambling throughout his careerGetting his first contract straight out of school.Dealing with a lack of confidence in himself His relationship with alcohol during his career and during the transition post footyDealing with injuries and his regret in how he attacked his rehabBecoming the Stags captain and the pressure involved with thatAnd honestly some of the best behind the scene stories of a professional rugby player you will hear.I've got so much time for Scratcher, just a champion human who played the game for enjoyment and he certainly did that!

Why didn't you reach out?" But, when your in that moment and this is a good thing, don't beat up your friends that don't reach out to you because they don't even know what they are doing sometimes. And You be the one to reach out. - Dr. Daryl Merril Jr.It was great to reconnect with Daryl and appreciated how he expressed He felt he didn't have what it takes to be a Pastor.  Most of us have had that moment of wondering do I have what it takes and desperately seeking after God along that road.

The Unauthorized History of the Pacific War

This week we will be talking about the early actions that occurred along the Matinikau river.  Now, as opposed to the land battles we have discussed before, Tenaru and Edson's Ridge which each only happened one time, the Matinikau actions occurred several times from September through November 1942.  Today, we will be focusing on the September and October actions.   Following the battle at Edson's Ridge, what remained of the Japanese force under General Kawaguchi, pulled back through the jungle and attempted to regroup, as well as refit, on the western side of the Matinikau river.  Marine general Archer Vandegrift was aware that the Japanese had done this very thing and planned to eliminate whatever was left of the force that had slammed against the ridge on two consecutive nights in September. Vandegrift was determined to mop up what was left of the Japanese so as to deny them the opportunity to consolidate their forces and resume their offensive.  Vandegrift chose his freshest troops for this action, the recently arrived 1st Battalion of the 7th Marines under a Lieutenant Colonel whose name was and still is synonymous with the Corps.  Lewis B Chesty Puller. Talking Points: The 7th Marines Arrive:On September 18, the Marines on Guadalcanal finally received some much needed reinforcements, to the tune of 4157 men of the 7th Marine RegimentFresh from garrison duty in Samoa, these Marines were both fresh and eager to go.Their arrival allowed Vandegrift to finally establish a full defensive perimeter around the Lunga Point areaLearning from the lessons earlier in the campaign, the 7th Marines were disgorged on the beach early in the morning, and by 1800 that same day the cargo ships, now properly loaded, spit out a further 137 trucks4323 barrels of fuel60% of the tentage and equipment needed by the 7thThe remainder would be unloaded in short order Lewis B “Chesty” Puller 44 years old at this timeJoined the Marines in 1918By 42 he had served 24 years in the CorpsA veteran of Haiti, Nicaragua, better known as the banana wars, Puller had loads of combat experience before he ever got to the CanalDescribed as the prototypical Marine officer, Puller had a chin like “bulldozer blade”, a barrel chest and seemingly always had a pipe stuck in his teeth.  Highly decorated for service in Haiti and Nicaragua and grounded in the fundamentals of infantry combat and what it took to both be an infantryman, and how to survive as an infantryman, his men absolutely adored him. Mission:Puller was to advance astride Mount Austen, cross the river and examine the area between Mount Austen and KokumbonaClearly just an exploratory mission 900 men under Puller moved out on September 23On the afternoon of the next day, the lead elements of Puller's force ran into a Japanese bivouac area on the NW slope of Mount AustenIn the ensuing fight, the Marines drove the Japanese off just before dark, but took significant casualties7 KIA 25 WIA The next day 2/5 was sent to reinforce Puller and allow his wounded to be brought to the rear At the same time, the Japanese had established a defensive area around the position known as “One Log Bridge” along the riverThe Japanese 12th Company, at the bridge, and Puller's units hit each repeatedly with neither side gaining, or losing, any ground Because of the defense at one log bridge, Puller continued downstream, headed towards the mouth of the river and attempted a crossing.He was met with fierce Japanese defensive fire and mortars that handily checked the Marine advance and forced them to hold on the friendly side of the river Vandegrift sent the 1st Raiders to join Puller and at this point, Edson took commandEdson and Puller devised a plan to have C Company of Puller's Battalion move up the east side of the river, cross one log bridge and attack Matinikau village from the south2/5 would hold the line near the mouth of the river to deny any attempt by the Japanese to flank Puller's group Attack:At first light on the 27th, the Raiders moved up to cross the one log bridgeAs they did so, they came under intense fire from well entrenched Japanese on the east bank of the riverThis was completely unexpected as far as the Marines were concernedWell placed Japanese mortar fire began to take effect on the RaidersKenneth Bailey, leading the attack is killed here After Bailey is killed, LCOL Griffith, who had been wounded in the fight, tried to slip 2 companies around the entrenched Japanese in order to flank them, but they too were pinned down by heavy Japanese fire Back at the mouth of the river, the Japanese 9th Company continuously hurled back 2/5's attacks across the river  Pt Cruz: In an attempt to cut the Japanese off, Companies A, B and D of 1/7 landed near Point Cruz and began to push inland.It must be noted that the this action would not have occurred had it been known by Vandegrift that Puller's and the Raider's attack had not succeeded as yet.Garbled radio transmissions from Griffith did not make it clear that the action was successful Almost immediately, the Marines came under heavy fire as COL Oka deployed several units to attack the recently landed MarinesMortar rounds killed Major Rogers, and wounded another Company commander, leaving Captain Charles Kelly to assume command of the operationWithin a short amount of time, the Japanese had moved behind the marines (coast side) and cut them off from any route of escapeRealizing their predicament, Kelly ordered to radio for help…but no radios had been brought to the area by the Marines.Using t-shirts, the Marines spelled out HELP on the ground, a signal that was seen by an SBD pilot from VMSB231 named Dale Leslie.Leslie relayed the Marines' desperate message which was picked up by PullerMeanwhile, Edson's attack was still underway when he too received the message of distress from Kelly.Edson halted his attack despite Puller's heated argument that halting the attack would allow the Japanese to send more men to attack and eventually annihilate Kelly. Fearing for his men, Puller hauled ass back to Kukum where he boarded the destroyer USS Monssen Gathering landing craft, Puller, Monssen, and a flock of 10 landing craft headed towards Point Cruz in the area the Marines had initially landedOnce arriving, the landing craft were greeted by furious fire from the Japanese who had by this time, pushed the Marines back, cut them off and were preparing to mount an assault to destroy themPuller was able to establish comms with Kelly ashore by use of semaphore and directed him to make his way to the coast NOWAs the Marines attempted to fight their way out, the destroyer Monssen provided direct artillery support with every available weapon aboard ship for 30 minutes and helped blast a path for the withdrawing MarinesBy 1630, those who could, had made it to the beach as the landing craft were heading to rescue themRealizing the Marines were trying to escape, the Japanese poured fire into them and tried to reestablish the encirclement Douglas MunroMunro ordered his Higgins landing craft towards the shore as he and the other boats in his formation came under intense fire.Manning a Lewis machine gun, Munro returned fire at the Japanese and ordered for his boat to move closer to the beach so as to shield the Marines that were attempting to embark on the other landing craft.As his boat moved into position, Munro noticed a grounded landing craft, again moving his boat to shield the Marines attempting to free the craft, Munro purposely exposed himself and his boat to withering enemy fire.  Holding station for several minutes, Munro poured fire back at the Japanese and eventually directed his boat to withdraw after the previously grounded landing craft had been freed and loaded with Marines.  As Munro's craft withdrew he was struck by a Japanese bullet at the base of his skull.Rushing back to Lunga point, his best friend Raymond Evans cradled Munro in his arms. Munro regained consciousness, looked at Evans and asked, “Did they get off?” Evans replied in the affirmative, and Munro died.Munro was the first, and so far, the only Coast Guardsman to receive the MOHThe ill-fated Marine action resulted in 70 KIA and a further 100 WIA October 6-9 actionsOn October 3 LTGEN Maruyama was landed along with fresh troops.  His mission was to set up artillery positions on the opposite side of the Matinkiau with which to shell Marine positions in preparation for the late October offensive that was on the horizonOver the next few days, the Japanese proceeded to do just that as well as set up further defensive postions along the banks of the river. Vandegrift, again aware that the Japanese were preparing positions as well as preparing for an offensive Daily Marine patrols ran into Japanese and confirmed both the arrival of fresh troops and the preparations for offensive As a result of this knowledge, Vandegrift once again planned an offensive against the Matinikau positions to eliminate the threat before it came to himHis plan was to strike and seize the area near Kokumbona to deny Japanese access to the trails that lead to the upper portion of the Lunga area.The 5th Marines, minus 1/5 would advance along the coast and force a crossing of the river.The Whaling Group, as well as the 7th Marines, would cross the river further south at one log bridge.Once across the Whaling Group and the 7th would attack down the ridges and hopefully trap a large number of Japanese in the process. The fighting:October 7 the attack kicked off, with 3/5 reaching the river and running into fierce resistance3/5 used 75mm artillery pieces mounted in half-tracks to pour direct fire into the Japanese positions.  Slowly, the Japanese gave ground.By nightfall, the Marines held the mouth of the river and the Whaling Group and the 7th had crossed the river easily at one log bridge The following afternoon, H Company 5th Marines under Captain Rigaud mistakenly entered a valley between two Japanese units The enemy holding the high ground poured fire into H Company.  Marines started to panic, and began to run.  Rigaud stood up in the middle of the fight, challenged his men, shamed them, cajoled them and made them retake their positions and eventually withdrew in order.Fighting died down on the 7th and the assault waited until the following day to complete the encirclementOn the 8th, Vandegrift received intel that the Japanese were preparing an all out offensive to recapture the island.  As a result, he cancelled the operation for the next day and ordered his units to return to the American perimeter to prepare a defense following this day's actions. The Whaling Group and 2/7 reached the beach as Puller's group topped a ridgeline to find an entire Japanese battalion in the ravine below him.Puller called in artillery and mortars and watched as the artillery did its work, calling them machines for extermination.The Japanese tried to escape by climbing up the ravine side and were taken under direct machine gun and rifle fire from Puller's men.Only after Puller's men had expended all of their mortar ammunition did he order cease fire, moving out to rejoin Whaling and Hanneken ahead of him.This concluded the second battle around the Matinikau which resulted in:65 KIA and 125 WIAThe Japanese lost around 700 men in the three day engagement Effects on the campaign:Because of the loss of the Matinikau, the Japanese were forced to eventually march their men through the jungle (again) before the major assault around Henderson Field in late October .  This march, like Kawaguchi's the month before, exhausted the attackers to the point where their efficiency in the attack that came was severely diminished.

What is our reaction then? Here we see the impact that Jesus has had on Paul and his experience: He sees both the value and the importance of his mission over his personal comfort. Risking death is not a problem for him.His faithfulnessHis willingness to suffer for JesusHis grace with those who stoned himHis faithfulness to continue with his missionRead TextKey events: continue to lead people to Christ and faith in Jesus            Started church in DerbeReturned to the places where his enemies lived to establish leadership in the new churchesNotice the change in his message:            Strengthening the disciples in their multi cultured groups            Encouraging them to continue in the faith with a new message   Entering the Kingdom of God: the next step.

The miracles follow the Gospel. In each instance when Jesus is preached, He grants faith to those who believe. There are many different instances where faith is exercised, but when faith is present, Jesus meets with individuals and does amazing things. How these events are interpreted is often not as they were intended as in this story.  I once asked if I could go to the hospital and pray with a dying patient, and the family absolutely refused! I didn't understand why, until much later.  It had to do with their catholic upbringing.What is astonishing is the fickle nature of people.  They go from wanting to worship Paul and Barnabas to stoning Paul and leaving him for dead. This is how people respond to Jesus as well.  We go from exalting him to leaving him when He doesn't do what we want or expect. There are two sides to this experience: How do people, you and me, respond when we encounter Jesus? What happens when we know our sins are forgiven? What happens when we assume our prayers are not answered the way we want them to be? What is our reaction then? The other side of the this is Paul and his experience:His faithfulnessHis willingness to suffer for JesusHis grace with those who stoned himHis faithfulness to continue.Which one of these followed in the footsteps of Jesus?Faith remains a mystery to me. God gives it. He does the work, and we walk with Him. He works through us, and we strive to understand him, but who can do so? Why take the mystery out of our relationship simply by trying to get it faith to operate like a machine? Walking with Jesus is a real and dynamic experience. His love is constant. It is not based on our works. So neither is anything else. It is based on relationship and trust. His timing is not ours, but that does not negate his promises.Again, the key is walking with Jesus. Start your journey now.

When God calls us, he has already taken our stupidity into consideration. When I first got saved, I experienced many healings. But since then there have been many different results. The Joys of Salvation!The transition from death to life, darkness to light, renewing of the mind, forgiveness, cleansing, confidence of eternal lifeThe Excitement of DiscoveryWhat it means to be filled with the Spirit of GodGreater worksThe Surprise of ConflictIt ought to be no surprise at all – Jesus met with the devil after the Holy Sprit fell on himHis unusual promise: “These things I have spoken to you, so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world.”” John16:33NASBLater Paul would write: “And not only this, but we also exult in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance; and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope; and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.” Romans5:3-5NASBThe promises of God do not always present clear sailing, neither in the early church, in the history of the church, or even in our own lives.  The devil is real, sin is real, and as Billy Sunday said: “One reason sin flourishes is that it is treated like a cream puff rather than a rattlesnakeThe Battle on THREE Fronts: three areas of conflict where Christians must overcomeThe battle without: open attacks from non Christians, from intimidation, lies deceptions, aggressive behavior, attacks, and persecutionsThe battle within: from brothers and sisters of the faith, jealousy, positions, authority, power struggles, personal desires, power plays, and control.The battle of the mind: “For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh, for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses. We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ,” 2 Corinthians10:3-5“For those who are according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who are according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. For the mind set on the flesh is death, but the mind set on the Spirit is life and peace, because the mind set on the flesh is hostile toward God; for it does not subject itself to the law of God, for it is not even able to do so, and those who are in the flesh cannot please God. However, you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him. If Christ is in you, though the body is dead because of sin, yet the spirit is alive because of righteousness. But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.” Romans8:5-11NASBThe Confidence of VictoryThe confidence of victory is that Jesus has overcome!He is the victor and gives us the victory!

Hope is a foundational truth about our God, but if we misinterpret or misapply its meaning we will continually feel let down which can lead to depression. If I place all my hopes on a relationship, job, finances or the timing of what I am hoping for, I will be disheartened. But, if my Hope is settled on WHO God is and not a certain outcome then I will be full of joy and peace as I trust in HimHis hope does not disappoint, as Romans 5:5 tells us because it comes from the love He has for us that He sealed in us by giving us the Holy Spirit. May the God of all hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.” Romans 15:13 Even when things don't go our way, or we have an unexpected loss we can thank God that He is our radiant hope, and He is at work in the situation. (Psalm 27:13, 33:20 TPT) Hope challenges us to dream again. God has made us dreamers. He has placed in each of us the desire and longing to see our dreams fulfilled. He promises that if He is our primary desire He will give us what we long for. “Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart.” Psalms 37:4 ESV I love the way The Passion Translation says it. “Make God the utmost delight and pleasure of your life, and He will provide for you what you desire the most.” What Dreams Have You Put On Hold? Reimagine those possibilities while firmly resting your hope on God's promises and love for you. Start awakening the desires you may have stuffed down, but awaken them to the hope that “...with God nothing will be impossible.” Luke 1:37 NKJV Steps to walking in Hope: Step One: Believe God Step Two: Abide in Him and not your circumstances Step Three: Trust His Timing Step 4: Begin dreaming again Here are a few of the promises you can hold onto: He is anchor for our soul He never changes or fails He is always faithful He will never leaves us or forsake us He is our peace He longs to be good to us He is our healer He is our provider He is our protection He is a good Father who always takes care of His children “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing [through the experience of your faith] that by the power of the Holy Spirit you will abound in hope and overflow with confidence in His promises.” Romans‬ ‭15:13‬ ‭AMP‬‬ “Such hope never disappoints or deludes or shames us, for God's love has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit Who has been given to us.” Romans 5:5 AMPC #encouragingfreedom #empoweringwomen #bible #allthingsnew #transformation #Jesus #empoweredtoliveyourpurpose #wholeselflifecoach #hope --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/rhiannon-staal/message

Series: Revelation: The Best is Yet to ComeTitle: “Why worship Jesus Christ: His wrath and wedding?”Scripture: Revelation 19:1-10 (Commentary helps listed at the end)Bottom line: We worship Jesus Christ because of who he is and what he's done. We exist to worship him and enjoy him forever.“Mission for God exists because worship of God doesn't.” -John Piper, Let the Nations Be GladIntroduction:“Imagine boarding an airplane, having the doors close, and then hearing the pilot announce that as soon as he gets the plane off the ground he's putting his nine-year-old son in the pilots chair. How relieved would you be if near the end of the flight, after many dips, dives, jerks, and polls, the pilot announced that he had taken control of the plane? When God begins to reign, the world will finally be ruled as it should be.“ -HamiltonAfghanistan we've seen injustice and evil…We will have reason to celebrate one day!John piper wrote that the reason the mission of God exists because the worship of God does not. Let the nations be gladWhat will get us through is this truth:Last week's Bottom line: “The future is bright even though the day is dark.”This week's bottom line: We worship Jesus Christ for who he is and for what he's done. We exist to worship him and enjoy him forever.Last week in Revelation 17-18 we saw the downfall of Babylon and how those seduced by her are drug down with her into destruction with her. Are you in that crowd? God calls you out today! (V. 4)This week we see God praised for his character and competency. His character shines as he acts in accordance with that character in judging the whore and giving her what she deserves.Context:We have seen:Jesus and his churches (1-3)The throne and judgments of God (6-16)The whore, the King, and his bride (17-22)Last week we saw the fall of BabylonThis week we see heaven celebrate himNext week we'll see his return! (Second coming)Outline:This passage gives us two huge reasons for why we worship Jesus. And they don't even include that fact that he CREATED us or that he is the RISEN Christ defeating death and living forever (which should be reasons enough!).So, in case we needed more reasons to worship Jesus, here they are in Revelation 19:1-10In light of Jesus' return in chapter 19, a vast crowd will praise him the Lamb of God:I. The celebration in Heaven (19:1-10)A. Praising the Lamb for his wrath on a corrupt whore (19:1-5)The reasons for his judgment (19:2): This false religious system is condemned on two counts.Corrupting the earth with immorality (19:2a)Murdering the saints of God (19:2b)The rejoicing over this judgment (19:1, 3-5)The song (19:1b, 3, 4b-5): It consists of one great, grand, and glorious word: “Hallelujah!”The singers (19:1a, 4a)A vast multitude (19:1a)The 24 elders (19:4a)B. Praising the Lamb for his wedding to a chaste wife (19:6-10)The clothing of the bride (19:6-9): She wears the cleanest, whitest, and finest of linens.The chastening of the apostle (19:10): John is rebuked for attempting to worship the angel who is revealing these things to him.II. The confrontation on Earth (19:11-12) (NEXT WEEK)Conclusion:Have you been invited to the wedding feast?Have you accepted the invitation?How are you preparing to be part of the bride of Christ?PrayNotes:Why we worship Jesus:Hallelujah = Praise Yah or Yahweh = Praise the Lord = Praise Jesus Christ, King of kings and Lord of lords.4X - nowhere else in the NT; found heavily in the Hallel PsalmsWho God isSaviorGlory, attributes of GodLoveTruthHolinessPowerKnowledgeOmnipresenceOmnigoodnessImmutabilityTruth & HolinessAvengerKing, sovereign rulerBridgegroom; GroomProvider of HolinessWhat God's doneSaved us from sin and death, shame and guilt, babylon the whore, and hell itself.Present in His people (Holy Spirit)True and just in his judgments (esp. against babylon and Satan.Avenged all injusticeRules with all authority and powerBetrothed to His peopleClothed His people in righteousnessWho am I in light of this?His servant who rightly fears and reveres himHis saved/rescued oneWorshipper of Jesus ChristBride of ChristWhat do we get to do as a result?Please him; gladly submit to himLive for him with my life he saved from eternal destruction and damnationRejoice and shout hallelujah because of who he is and what he's done. Worship God!Enjoy him and his wedding feast forever.Better questions:Are you invited to the wedding feast?Have you accepted your invitation?What's keeping you from accepting that invitation?What does your life say?What needs to change?Hallelujah = (You) Praise Yah(weh)BQ: Why only used here (4X in Revelation)? Why do we worship and praise Jesus like this here?Reason 1 - Because Jesus Christ delivers his people from the Whore (Babylon).Psalms 113-118 are the Hallel psalms. The thread that runs through them is the Exodus. They are sung before, during and/or after the Passover Celebration. They recall God's deliverance from and judgment of Egypt. (The Babylon of that day)Jesus and his disciples likely sang one or more of these as part of their Passover celebration at the last supper. (Mark 14:26)We worship Jesus because he delivers us from Babylon (the world, the flesh, the devil).Babylon = the great city, the whore, mother of whores, the power that opposes God's purposes and oppresses God's people.1500 BC Passover meal celebrates deliverance from Egypt won through the coming Passover lamb (Jesus).AD 30 Wedding feast celebrates deliverance from Babylon won through blood of the lamb.Reason 2 - Because of the coming marriage supper of the lamb. (Eternal feast) Because he calls us and then makes us ready by empowering us to be ready for his arrival. (Cf. Phil 2:12-13) “Therefore, the multitude cries, “Hallelujah!” The bride (the Church) is ready to enter into the feast, which lasts not 7 days, not even 14 days, but forever.” -D JohnsonThroughout the OT, the arrival of God's kingdom—new heaven, new earth, new Jerusalem, new Zion—is spoken of as entering a great feast.See Isaiah 25:6Rev 19:7 & 9Parable Matthew 22:1-14King is God the FatherSon is JesusAll who didn't RSVP to invite and dress appropriately are judged“Let us rejoice and be glad” only shows up twice in NT:Rev 19Matt 5:11-12“Let us rejoice and be glad” Why? Because the vindication of Jesus' disciples is taking place.Case: “The Revelation of Jesus Christ” is a discipleship book—a document to hope make disciples. (Darrell Johnson)Jesus' great commission is go make disciples of all nations, all ethnic groups. This book shows us what it means to be his disciples. These images help us.Images:Great city (Babylon) vs The Greater City (New Jerusalem)Whore vs BrideTitles and images: Disciples are:PriestsCo-regents with JesusWitnessesMartyrsHis Bride1st Church (Ephesus): “Left your first love.” (2:4)7th Church (Laodicea): “Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come into you, and eat with you as you with me.” (3:20) Echos love poem in Song of Solomon 5:2“I stand and knock”“Hear my voice”“Opens the door”4th Church (Thyatira): “Jezebel who seeks to seduce Jesus' bride into bed with Babylon the whore.”Ephesians 5:25-27Marriage customs of 1st century Judaism:3 steps in getting married:Engagement (betrothal)Prepare for weddingWedding supper itselfBetrothal ceremonyProspective groom and best man leave father's house and travel to prospective bride's house. Finalize arrangements and settle on “purchase price”. (She is bought at a price, 1 Cor 6:20)As soon as paid, marriage technically went into effect. Legally bound to each other but not sleeping or even living together yet. She was declared “consecrated” to the groom (set-apart) exclusively for him.A new covenant established between the sealed by drinking wine over a benediction was pronounced: “This cup is a new covenant”The groom leaves bride's house and returns to father's house for 12 months while he prepares a room there for them to live in.During this time the bride prepares herself for the wedding (and marriage).While not sleeping or even living together these 12 months, they were legally and spiritually bound to each other. “So binding was this betrothal agreement—this covenant—that if a man died during the betrothal period, she was considered a widow. To breach the betrothal agreement was the same as divorce.” (Think Joseph and Mary)“At the end of the betrothal period, the bridegroom, dressed in festive attire, and accompanied by his best man and friends, would make his way back to the bride's house. Although everyone had a rough idea of when the groom would come, they did not know the exact day or hour. Usually, to add the element of surprise, he would arrive around midnight. His arrival would be preceded by the shout, ‘Here is the bridegroom! Come out. Come out to meet him” (Matt 25:6). Then, wiht great joy, the bride, veiled and accompanied by her maidens, who were carrying lamps, would come out to join the groom and his attendants. Then the wedding feast itself would begin!”“First, there was a brief ceremony involving the word, “take.” The groom would “take” the bride from her home. Thus the Hebrew expression, “Take a wife”. free the groom “took” the bride, the whole bridal party would make its way to the groom's father's house. There they would find the wedding guests gathered and dressed in special robes. The feast would take off! It would last 7 days, sometimes 14 days.”“About AD 33, in Jerusalem, Jesus is havin gthe Passover meal with his disciples in an upper room. He takes a cup of wine, gives it to his disciples, and says, ‘This cup is the new covenant in my blood.; Jesus then tells them he is leaving. Wha'ts more, he tells them that they cannot come where he is going—-yet (John 13:36).Then John 14:1-3“Do you hear what Jesus is claiming? He is the Bridegroom, the headband of the people of God. We are his bride. He has paid ‘the purchase price' with his own blood. He has sealed the engagement with a cup of wine; ‘This cup is the new covenant in my blood.' He is preparing a place for us in his Father's house. And he is coming to take us to himself to be his forever.”“We have been betrothed! We are engaged to Jesus Christ!” -Darrell Johnson“Hallelujah! The time has come for the marriage feast.” Send out the invitations. “Blessed!” “Blessed is everyone who is invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb.”Look at Rev 19:7-8 “And the bride has made herself ready…was given to her to clothe herself…”Tension here like throughout the NT. On the one hand, “The bride has made herself ready.” On the other hand, “And it was given to her to clothe herself.” Which is it?It is the same tension found in Phil 2:12-13: “So then…work out your salvation with fear and trembling; for it is God who is at work in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure.” Who's doing the work? Us or Jesus? The answer is both.“He calls us to himself. Then in relationship with himself, he begins to free us, especially from captivity to Babylon, and begins to empower us to live a new life. Our new life leads to new deeds, “the righteous deeds of the saints” (19:8). Yet it is because of his power at work in us—that we are able to do the new deeds.” -D JohnsonWhat does all of this mean for discipleship right now? At least 6 Things:If we are engaged to the Lamb, then we have a powerful picture of the nature of Jesus' love for us.He loves us as his friendsAs his brothers and sistersAs his templeAs his body…But as his BRIDE! Wow!If we are engaged to the Lamb, then we are very secure. Bought at a price: his own blood.We are not our own any longer—we are his!New covenant he'll never breakIf we are engaged to the Lamb, then the fundamental issue of discipleship is loyalty. The issue is fidelity. We do not want ot be found in bed with another lover. Babylon, the whore, is very seductive. We cannot be engaged to 2 brides.If we are engaged to the Lamb, then sin is worse than we thought. Sin is adultery. It is not only missing the mark. It is not only twistedness.It is adultery. Profoundly relational.If we are engaged to the Lamb, then the call to loyalty is a call to be ready. It's a call to intimacy.He's gone away to prepare a room in his Father's house. (21-22)While he's gone, are we preparing ourselves? “The righteous acts of the saints”If we are engaged to the Lamb, then the call to discipleship is a call to simplicity.We are too busy. Too encumbered.No wonder we lose intimacy. Lack of margin kills intimacy. -Andy StanleyThink back to when you were engaged…we MADE time to be together.Being in love simplifies things. The call to discipleship is the call to do whatever it takes to stay in love with Jesus.Other Illustrations:Main commentary help:Exalting Jesus in Revelation by Daniel AkinRevelation by Jim HamiltonRevelation by Paige Patterson, New American Commentary seriesBreaking the Code by Bruce Metzger2020 Sermons by Matt ChandlerESV Global Study BibleBible in One Year by Nicky GumbelBible Knowledge CommentaryThe Outline Bible, WilmingtonDiscipleship on the Edge, Darrell W.

Have you ever wondered what is one of the greatest influences on your ability to trust yourself and others? In episode 32, we talk to Jim Farm about different attachment styles that form when we are young, and how they continue to influence every relationship that we have in our adulthood. Jim describes the four attachment styles: avoidant, anxious, disorganized, and secure. These styles continue throughout our life, unless we intentionally change them. Jim explains how an insecure attachment can inhibit our ability to be vulnerable. This impacts our relationship with others and even things, which can lead to addiction. He also shares that trauma has an impact on our attachment bonds. Towards the end, Jim shares that no matter what attachment style we developed when we were young, we can learn how to be safe and accessible individuals in our adult life.

This year has brought many unexpected turns, yet just around the corner is a new year… a fresh slate. Our approach to forgiveness affects our emotional, relational, and physical health. Harboring resentment, anger and unforgiveness creates roadblocks in our personal lives. Through the process of forgiveness, we are able to clear the road to fresh beginnings. In this episode, we speak with Dr. Everett Worthington who is an expert on the subject of forgiveness. Through his research on the process of forgiveness, Dr. Worthington sheds light on what true forgiveness is and the many misconceptions around this topic. He explains to us how this concept can then be applied to our relationships, community, and even ourselves. Let’s start the new year with the healing process of true forgiveness. Key TakeawaysA little about himself and the work he is doingHis definition of forgiveness: Decisional and EmotionalHow to replace the negative unforgiving emotions with positive other oriented emotions for himHis own experience with forgivenessMisconceptions of forgiveness (what we think vs. what it actually is) for him Some of the benefits of experiencing true forgiveness for him: Spiritual, Relational, Mental Health and Physical HealthAn example on attaining forgiveness in an affair in marriageHow to forgive without being asked for forgiveness for himHis insight on verbalizing forgiveness for true forgiveness to happenHis insight on forgiveness if hurts keep happening particularly in marriage affairsHow does self-forgiveness differ and how does it work for himThe importance of forgiveness in the community for himLinksDr. Everett L.

We had no idea that 10 years later, we'd each have one son in Heaven. Jonathon's son, Connor, left this life six months before my son, Greg, did.Jonathon is the author of two books, Understand Men Now, and his most recent book, What The Heck Is Self-Love Anyway.Jonathon has a huge heart and a witty sense of humor. Both have served him well on his own grief journey the past two years, and both were on full display in this episode where we talked about:His choice to grieve with love - and what that means to himWhat he chooses to do instead of suffering through his griefWhat grieving with Grace means to himHis experiences connecting with his son using plant-based medicine, and the messages he received during those experiencesHow self-love helps us in our griefUsing self-love as a multivitamin against chaosThe moment we fully love ourselvesThe truth about choicesFinding the gifts in the nightmareWhat to say to someone who's grieving instead of “I'm sorry for your loss”A way to lean into the remembrance of your child (or other loved one)How he honors his son's mother, even though they're divorcedJonathon also shares his story of his use of drugs and alcohol after his divorce, and how the self-development practices he implemented to rise out of that assisted him when Connor passed away.Be sure to visit Jonathon's website here and on YouTube.
