[Acts 16: 1-5, I Tim. 1: 12-17, 3: 14-16, 4: 6-16, 2 Tim. 1: 3-14, 4: 1-8] Intro: A different generation … - Pastor Joseph Thomas - Sunday, February 15, 2026

Jesus' Fulfillment of Job 9:14-35  Job is not stating a prediction of the Messiah but is expressing a longing, a desire. Job was longing for an umpire who could somehow go between himself and God and lead to Job receiving a fair trial and being pronounced innocent before God. The word for umpire in the NASB was translated mediator in the LXX. In the NT this word is used of the work of Jesus in I Tim. 2:5; Heb. 8:6; 9:15; 12:24. This is particularly tied to what was accomplished by the death of Jesus in several of these passages. Job as an innocent man (9:15, 20-21) longed for a mediator that he could get a fair trial before such a holy God. Jesus' work as mediator goes far beyond what Job expected. It is not only innocent people who can stand before God, but guilty people, guilty people who have turned to Him for forgiveness. Rom. 4:5 tells us that God “justifies the ungodly.” These same three Greek words translated “justifies the ungodly” are used in the same order in the LXX of Ex. 23:7 to warn judges not to kill the innocent or righteous because God “will not acquit the guilty.” The reason God can now justify the ungodly is because Christ died for the ungodly in Rom. 5:6.  In Jesus we have One who is both God and man and can serve in the way that Job 9:32-33; 16:19-21; 19:23-27 describe. The deity of Jesus is stressed in the New Testament (John 1:1-3; 8:58; Phil. 2:5-8; Titus 2:13). The humanity of Jesus is also stressed (John 1:14; I Tim. 2:5-6; I John 4:1-3; II John 7). While Job lamented “He is not a man as I am,” Paul proclaimed Jesus as the “man Christ Jesus” (I Tim. 2:5; Acts 17:31).  The deity/ humanity of Jesus qualifies Him as a faithful and merciful high priest Heb. 2:17-18; 4:14-16; 5:7-10. Jesus would live and die to bridge the gap between God and man. Job complained that God mocks the despair of the innocent (Job 9:23), but in Jesus' death man mocks the pain and suffering of God (Matt. 20:19; 27:29, 31, 41; Mk. 10:34) (The Greek word in the LXX in Job 9:23 is not the same as used in these NT passages).   In Job 9 Job proclaimed his innocence (9:15, 20, 21) and stated that his wounds were without cause (9:17). Job had done nothing to earn them his suffering. His suffering showed (to Job) that God made no distinction between the blameless and the guilty (9:22-24). Job's innocence does not compare to Jesus' innocence (II Cor. 5:21; I Peter 2:22). While Job will complain in the bitterness of his soul (10:1), Jesus offered no complaint or protest (Isa. 53:6-7).  Job feared that even though He was innocent the words of his mouth would be used against him (9:20). Unjust judges condemned Jesus by words from His own mouth (Matt. 26:64-66; Lk. 22:70-71).  Job 9:30-31 In the Bible story it is we who have plunged ourselves in the pit and soiled our clothes and it is God who washes us and makes us clean. God far from mocking the despair of the innocent (9:23) enters into this world of sin and suffering to redeem us. Jesus weeps with us and for us (John 11:35; Luke 19:41-44; Heb. 5:7).  Job lamented the brevity of life in Job 9:25-26. Job's life was so full of pain that he could say he despised his life (9:21, 27-28). Jesus answered this lament via His resurrection. He gives eternal life (John 11:23-26; I Cor. 15:50-58; I Thess. 4:13-18). The pain that Job feared would One day pass away and be no more (Rev. 21:4).

Söyleşi: Faruk Ekici | Sanat eğitimine Çanakkale Hüseyin Akif Terzioğlu Güzel Sanatlar Lisesi'nde başlayıp, Eskişehir Anadolu Üniversitesi'nde Resim Öğretmenliği üzerine tamamladığı lisans ve Güzel Sanatlar Fakültesi Resim bölümünde tamamladığı yüksek lisansının ardından, akademik kalıpların ötesine geçme arzusuyla rotasını doktorasını yarım bırakıp yurt dışına kıran; disiplinlerarası sanat pratiğini bellek, mitoloji ve içsel arkeoloji kavramları üzerine inşa eden sanatçı Hilal Can, son projesiyle "yeryüzüne" çıkıyor. Can, Yapı Kredi Müzesi'nde Burcu Çimen küratörlüğünde düzenlenen Islık Çalan Hafıza sergisinde; müze koleksiyonundaki geleneksel Karagöz ve Hacivat figürlerini, kendi "şahsi mitolojisinden" süzülen 12 yeni karakterle buluşturuyor.Piksellerin kusursuzluğuna inat, Millî Eğitim'den 'emekli' tepegözü bir çağdaş sanat enstrümanına dönüştüren sanatçı; Cyclops Visuals projesiyle ışığın, suyun ve mürekkebin sürekli değişen dünyasını canlı performanslarına taşıyor. Geleneksel gölge oyununu ruh ve madde dualitesi üzerinden yeniden kurgulayan Can; hatayı bir imkâna dönüştüren 'geri al' butonsuz üretim sürecini, tepegöz yolculuğunu ve sergideki karakterlerinin arkasında yatan kadim felsefeyi T24'e anlattı.

İnsan pek çok canlıdan farklı olarak bakım ve eğitime muhtaç bir varlık. Hayatını tek başına idame ettirecek melekelerle doğmuyor, kabiliyetlerle doğuyor. Yaşadığımız sürece öğrendiğimiz bilgileri, kazandığımız alışkanlıkları, edindiğimiz meslekleri düşündüğümüzde bir insan ferdindeki kabiliyetler yelpazesinin ne denli geniş olduğu hemen fark edilir. Her bir fert gerçekten bütün bu bilgi, alışkanlık ve mesleklere açık bir varlık tarzına sahip olarak dünyaya geliyor.

"E o diabo, levando-O a um alto monte, mostrou-Lhe num momento de tempo todos os reinos do mundo.E disse-Lhe o diabo: Dar-Te-ei a Ti todo este poder e a sua glória; porque a mim me foi entregue, e dou-o a quem quero.Portanto, se Tu me adorares, tudo será Teu.E Jesus, respondendo, disse-lhe: Vai-te para trás de Mim, Satanás; porque está escrito: Adorarás o Senhor teu Deus, e Só a Ele servirás." Lucas 4:5-8."Mas os que querem ser ricos caem em tentação, e em laço, e em muitas concupiscências loucas e nocivas, que submergem os homens na perdição e ruína. Porque o amor ao dinheiro é a raiz de todos os males; e nessa cobiça alguns se desviaram da fé, e se traspassaram a si mesmos com muitas dores." I Timóteo 6:9-10

This morning I share part of an interview by Daniel Gordis with my friend and colleague, Rabbi Seth Farber founder and director of ITIM. One of the reasons I share this is because I so strongly agree with Rabbi Farber. He outlines with dramatic examples the Jewish resurgence in Israel today, what it could mean for the greatly improved future of Israel and Judaism, and how it is being stymied by absurd efforts of some in the Israeli government to pass laws that would take religious coercive legislation to levels never before seen or imagined. Hopefully, Rabbi Farber's view will prevail. Michael Whitman is the senior rabbi of ADATH Congregation in Hampstead, Quebec, and an adjunct professor at McGill University Faculty of Law. ADATH is a modern orthodox synagogue community in suburban Montreal, providing Judaism for the next generation. We take great pleasure in welcoming everyone with a warm smile, while sharing inspiration through prayer, study, and friendship.

"CONSERVANDO A FÉ, e E A BOA CONSCIÊNCIA, a qual alguns, rejeitando, fizeram naufrágio na fé.E entre esses foram Himeneu e Alexandre, os quais entreguei a Satanás, para que aprendam a não blasfemar." I Timóteo 1:19-20"Para que a prova da vossa fé, muito mais preciosa do que o ouro que perece e é provado pelo fogo, se ache em louvor, e honra, e glória, na revelação de Jesus Cristo; Ao qual, não O havendo visto, amais; no qual, não O vendo agora, mas crendo, vos alegrais com gozo indescritível e glorioso;Alcançando o fim da vossa fé, a salvação das vossas almas." I Pedro 1:7-9

= A New Testament Pastor is a Shepherd (points to his task)= A New Testament Pastor is an Overseer (points to his authority)= A New Testament Pastor is an Elder (points to his maturity) = Hebrews 13:7; 17 - congregation to pastor and pastor to congregation. I. Intensity & Intentionality Required - 1. Flee - Run from the wrong things 2. Pursue - Run to the right things 3. Fight the good fight (I Tim 6:11-12) 4. PO/PO - Ephesians 4 5. Flee - James 4:7 • We run away from sin (sanctification), but Satan runs away from you (submission) II. The Shepherds as Bond-Servants: 1. “Must not be” - “quarrelsome.” • I Timothy 2:8; 3:3; 6:4 • Titus 3:2; Titus 3:9 • II Timothy 2:14; 2:23; 2:24 2. “Must be” - Serving & Discerning • Kind to everyone - (leads to repentance - Romans 2:4) • Able to teach - unique word here and I Timothy 3:2. Ezra 7:10, The hand of the Lord is upon him because He SET HIS HEART to (3): Rigorous study; Regular obedience; Robust teaching. • Not resentful - (patient when wronged). Many commentators noted that this is one of the most difficult challenges of a pastor. What is the key to being faithful to this verse? Making sure ministry is about His Name; His Word; His Will. It's not about us. • Correcting opponents w/ gentleness - (correcting carefully) - Look to Joseph of Genesis and Jesus of Nazareth! Genesis 50:20; I Peter 2:21-23 3. Must Trust God when correcting: We must trust God to change people - We follow His commands • God will grant them repentance • God will lead them to the knowledge of the truth • They will come to their senses - • They will escape from the trap of the devil - “who has taken them captive to do his will.”

Series Title: “Live Like You're Dying- A Study Thru Ecclesiastes” Sermon Title: “Don't Waste Your Life” Text: Eccl. 12:9-14 “Besides being wise, the Preacher also taught the people knowledge, weighing and studying and arranging many proverbs with great care. 10 The Preacher sought to find words of delight, and uprightly he wrote words of truth. 11 The words of the wise are like goads, and like nails firmly fixed are the collected sayings; they are given by one Shepherd. 12 My son, beware of anything beyond these. Of making many books there is no end, and much study is a weariness of the flesh. 13 The end of the matter; all has been heard. Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man. 14 For God will bring every deed into judgment, with every secret thing, whether good or evil. The Conclusion of the whole matter: Live by the word of God. v. 9-12 The Necessity of the Minister of God's word. V. 9 “Besides being wise, the Preacher also taught the people knowledge, weighing and studying and arranging many proverbs with great care. I Tim. 5:17 Let the elders who rule well be counted worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in the word and doctrine. 2 Tim. 2:15 Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 2 Tim. 4:2 Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching. Rom. 10:14 And how shall they hear without a preacher? 15 And how shall they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace, Who bring glad tidings of good things!” The Necessity of the Ministry of God's word. God's word brings pleasure. V. 10 The Preacher sought to find words of delight, and uprightly he wrote words of truth. Ps. 19:7 The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul; The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple; 8 The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart; The commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes; 9 The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever; The judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether. 10 More to be desired are they than gold, Yea, than much fine gold; Sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. 11 Moreover by them Your servant is warned, And in keeping them there is great reward. God's word brings pain. V. 11 The words of the wise are like goads, and like nails firmly fixed are the collected sayings; they are given by one Shepherd. The Necessity of the Mainstay of God's word. V. 12 My son, beware of anything beyond these. Of making many books there is no end, and much study is a weariness of the flesh. Live in the fear of God. What does it mean to Fear God? v. 13 The end of the matter; all has been heard. Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man. Prov. 9:10 “The Fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom.” How do we know if we fear God? v. 13 The end of the matter; all has been heard. Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man. Prov. 1:7 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, But fools despise wisdom and instruction. John 8:31-32 Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. 32 And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” Why do we live in the fear of God? v. 14 For God will bring every deed into judgment, with every secret thing, whether good or evil. I Cor. 4:3 But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged by you or by a human court. In fact, I do not even judge myself. 4 For I know of nothing against myself, yet I am not justified by this; but He who judges me is the Lord. 5 Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord comes, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness and reveal the counsels of the hearts.

“Unless clearly indicated otherwise, I assume that the Hebrew Bible speaks of real people and places. Nothing in the text suggests that Job was a mythical, imaginary, or fictious figure" (Alden, 26). The fact that Elihu is given a genealogy in Job 32:2 and his daughter's names are given at the end of the book in Job 42:13-15 points to the historical nature of the book. The fact that we view the Biblical portrayals of characters as historically true seems to be how Jesus and the inspired New Testament writers looked at things. Notice how the New Testament refers to Creation (Matt. 19:3-6; Mk. 10:6-9), Adam and Eve (II Cor. 11:3; I Tim. 2:11-14; Jude 14), Cain and Abel (Matt. 23:35; Lk. 11:51; Heb. 11:4; I John 3:12-13; Jude 11), Enoch (Heb. 11:5; Jude 14), Noah and the flood (Matt. 24:37-39; Lk. 17:26-27; Heb. 11:7; I Peter 3:20-21; II Peter 2:5, 9). Abraham is mentioned 73 times in the New Testament. Abraham's genealogy is given in Matt. 1:1-17; Lk. 3:23-38. In Rom. 4:9-12 Paul makes a point on the chronological order of his life. It seems obvious that Abraham is viewed as a real character and the things he did were actual historical events (Heb. 11:8-19; James 2:21-23). Lot is mentioned in Luke 17:28, 29, 32 and II Peter 2:7 and his wife is mentioned in Luke 17:32. Isaac is mentioned 20 times and Jacob 27 times in the New Testament. Joseph and his experiences are treated as historical in Acts 7:9-16 and Heb. 11:21-22. Moses is mentioned 80 in the New Testament. Jonah is referred to by Jesus in Matt. 12:39, 40, 41, 41; 16:4; Luke 11:29, 30, 32, 32. In these passages the events of Jonah and the great fish foreshadow the yet future (when this was spoken) resurrection of Jesus, the most important historical event in human history.  Job is mentioned outside the book of Job in the Old Testament in Ezek. 14:14, 20 and in the New Testament in James 5:11. How should we view those two passages and their evidence in light of whether Job is historical? In context Ezek. 14:12-23 is stressing the four severe judgments the LORD was going to send against Judah. The four judgements are sword, famine, wild beast, and plagues (Ezek. 14:13, 15, 17, 19, 21).  Ezek. 14:14, 20 specifically mentions Noah, Daniel, and Job and states they could only deliver themselves by their righteousness if they lived in the midst of the people. In Ezek. 14:16, 18 makes allusions to these men again by saying “even though these three men were in its midst.”  The most natural explanation was that these men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, were actual historical characters who were being used by the prophet to the people to stress that even they could not deliver the people from the coming judgment.  Did Jesus and the New Testament writers view Noah as an actual historical character? Jesus exhorted His audience to always be prepared for the Lord to come in judgment. He used the “days of Noah” as an illustration of those who were carrying on with life as normal and were unprepared for the judgment of God (Matt. 24:37-39; Luke 17:26-27). Jesus said, “For the coming of the Son of Man will be just like the days of Jonah” (Matt. 24:37). Was Jesus using a fictional event to inspire people to prepare themselves for an actual coming judgment? The author of Hebrews used Noah's example of building an ark in reverence to God to inspire His listeners to endurance (Heb. 11:7). Peter used the example of Noah as a picture of how “baptism now save you” (I Peter 3:20-21) and to illustrated how the LORD can rescue the godly while at the same time preparing the ungodly for judgment day (II Peter 2:5, 9).

La suspension de la Première ministre Paetongtarn Shinawatra, le 1er juillet, a plongé le royaume dans une nouvelle zone de turbulences. Face à l'instabilité chronique et à un système verrouillé par les élites conservatrices et le pouvoir militaire, de jeunes Thaïlandais expriment leur désarroi, et parfois une fragile lueur d'espoir. De notre correspondant à Bangkok, Valentin Cebron Angelo n'avait que trois ans quand l'armée a renversé Thaksin Shinawatra en 2006. Cet étudiant de 22 ans se souvient en revanche du chaos qui a précédé le coup d'État de 2014 et des années de junte militaire qui ont suivi. Alors aujourd'hui, la suspension par la Cour constitutionnelle de la Première ministre Paetongtarn Shinawatra, fille de Thaksin, ne le rassure pas. « Ce qui se passe actuellement ressemble beaucoup aux évènements qu'on a connus ces vingt dernières années. J'ai le sentiment que la Thaïlande peut replonger dans une nouvelle phase d'instabilité. Tout cela s'inscrit dans le prolongement du déclin démocratique amorcé en 2006. » Il en veut à la Cour constitutionnelle, qui, en moins de deux ans, a dissous le parti progressiste vainqueur des élections de 2023, et destitué un Premier ministre l'année suivante. « La Cour constitutionnelle est une institution politiquement corrompue, utilisée par la classe dirigeante pour servir ses intérêts et se débarrasser de ses opposants. Ça reste le mécanisme le plus attrayant pour les tenants du pouvoir, car elle est moins bruyante qu'un coup d'État militaire. » « Ce changement, l'État ne pourra pas l'ignorer » Selon un sondage, 83% des Thaïlandais de 18-24 ans sont inquiets de l'instabilité politique de leur pays. Ice, 21 ans, est dépitée : « Je ne suis pas surprise. C'est toujours le même schéma. En tant que jeune thaïlandaise, honnêtement, je me sens triste et sans espoir… » Manifestation ultra-nationaliste, appels au putsch : la crise actuelle fait redouter le pire à certains jeunes, comme Tong, 29 ans : « J'ai peur que l'armée profite de cette situation pour organiser un nouveau coup d'État, en prétextant des troubles et en invoquant la nécessité de reprendre le contrôle. Ça serait le pire des scénarios ». Pour Malinee Khumsupa, vice-doyenne de la faculté de sciences politiques à l'université de Chiang Mai, les aspirations de la jeunesse ne se réaliseront pas de sitôt : « La structure politique thaïlandaise est depuis longtemps enfermée dans un cercle vicieux. Elle ne changera pas du jour au lendemain. Mais la jeunesse me donne de l'espoir. Autrefois, les politiciens étaient plus âgés, et les partis ne recrutaient que dans les milieux d'affaires ou l'élite. Aujourd'hui, des jeunes et des gens ordinaires peuvent devenir candidats. Chaque année, je vois de plus en plus de mes étudiants rejoindre un parti. Ce changement culturel, porté par une génération qui défend la démocratie, l'État ne pourra pas éternellement l'ignorer ». Itim, 22 ans, fait partie de ces jeunes, qui veulent rester confiants : « C'est frustrant de voir ces crises se répéter sans arrêt. On n'arrête pas de réclamer des réformes, alors que la structure elle-même, les règles du jeu, n'ont pas changé. Mais les jeunes se font entendre depuis 2019, et la foi qui s'est éveillée à cette époque reste vivace chez beaucoup d'entre nous. C'est ce qui me donne l'espoir qu'un jour, nous pourrons briser ce cycle ». Si Paetongtarn Shinawatra est destituée dans les semaines à venir, la Thaïlande pourrait se retrouver avec un septième Premier ministre en moins de quatre ans.

A few notes from Psalm 145:14-21 and Jesus' fulfillment of Psalm 145 145:20 The LORD keeps all who love Him- There is a wordplay between the first word of the verse שםר and the last word of the verse  שםדOne describing the LORD actions towards the righteous and the other His actions towards the wicked. Is watches over a better translation? How much does it promise? It certainly does not mean the absence of all trouble. “What hints it does offer of the human condition are not all sweetness and light: God's people may be bowed down and thus call and cry to Him for salvation (vv. 14, 18-19)” Broyles, 504. But all the wicked He will destroy- Wicked see 1:6; 104:35; 143:12. “He differentiates between those who love Him and those who are wicked, taking care of the former, but destroying the latter. In this He is a righteous God” Longman, 469. “This verse has the only direct mention of the wicked in the psalm…God's faithfulness be fully seen without reference to His uncompromising judgment” Kidner, 482. “His righteousness is indeed a righteousness of grace- loving, fulfilling desires, saving, watching over, but it is also the righteousness of holiness” Motyer, 581. “The sharp distinction between the wicked and those who love God recalls Psalm 1, and what applies to Psalm 1 applies to Psalm 145 as well” McCann, 1260. Psalm 145 and JesusJesus is King who has established God's kingdom. 145:1 I will extol You, my God- The word extol in LXX is the word for Jesus lifted up on the cross- John 3:14; 8:28; 12:32- and Jesus being exalted to God's right hand in Acts 2:33; 5:31.145:1 Jesus is King- Matt. 2:2; 21:5; 25:34, 40; 27:11, 29, 37,42; John 19:19, 21, 21; Acts 17:7; Rev. 17:14145:1, 2, 21 I will bless your name- The word for Name in the LXX is the word used in Phil. 2:9-10 for Jesus being given a name above every name. Acts 3:6, 16, 16; 4:7, 10, 12, 17, 18, 30; Eph. 1:21. 145:14 The LORD raises up all who are bowed down- The verb raises in the LXX is used three times in the NT- Luke 13:13; Acts 15:16; Heb. 12:12. Luke 13:13 deals with Jesus healing the woman who could not stand up straight in the synagogue.145:15 The word translated look in the NASB and is hope in the LXX. It is applied to Jesus in Matt. 12:21; I Cor. 15:19. It is the word in I Tim. 4:10; 5:5; 6:17 for hoping in God and not material wealth. The terms applied to God in the Psalms are applied to Jesus in the gospels. 145:15 You give them their food- The word give in the LXX is used nearly 500 times in the NT but it is used in Jesus feeding miracles (Matt. 14:19; 15:36; Mark 6:41; 8:6; Luke 9:16). 145:16 Jesus satisfies the desire of every living thing. The word satisfies in the LXX is the people being filled when Jesus multiplied the five loaves and two fish in John 6:12. 145:20 The LORD guards all who love Him. The word is applied to Jesus in John 17:12; II Tim. 1:12.
