We have reached the end of our Exodus series! Chapter 40 concludes with the glory of the Lord filling the tabernacle, marking the completion of the structure, but not the end of the journey. The Israelites are not yet in the Promised Land. So why is this 40-chapter story so central to the biblical narrative? Because Exodus is not just background history—it is a legally binding testimony that points directly to the coming of a greater Messiah.Key Points1. A Testimony to the FutureHebrews 3:5 states that Moses was faithful as a servant, bearing witness to what would be spoken by God in the future. The Greek word used here for servant (therapon) implies an intimate, trusted servant whose testimony carries legal weight. Moses is a credible witness establishing the criteria for the Messiah. Anyone claiming to be the Messiah must be greater than Moses.2. Jesus is the Greater IntercessorMoses: Interceded for the Israelites on a hill to win a physical battle against the Amalekites. His hands were held up by his friends (Exodus 17).Jesus: Interceded on the hill of Calvary to win the eternal war against sin and death. His hands were held up by nails—and by the joy set before Him.3. Jesus is the Greater Deliverer & SacrificeMoses: Delivered the Israelites physically from Egypt, but he could not lead them all the way into the Promised Land. The Old Covenant required sacrifices to be made over and over again, like weed killer that only offers temporary relief.Jesus: Shared in our humanity to break the power of death and deliver us spiritually (Hebrews 2:14). As our High Priest, He offered one sacrifice for sins for all time, and then He sat down—because the work was finished (Hebrews 10:11-12). Note: Joshua (Yeshua), whose name points to Jesus, was the one who ultimately led the people into the Promised Land.4. Jesus is the Greater TabernacleMoses: Built the physical tabernacle where God's presence dwelled, but the people were kept out by a thick curtain and the barrier of sin.Jesus: The Word became flesh and "tabernacled" among us (John 1:14). When Jesus died on the cross, the physical curtain in the temple was torn in two. Now, through the blood of Jesus, we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place. Better yet, through the Holy Spirit, believers have become living tabernacles.5. The Warning: Guard Against a Hard HeartThe Israelites saw the Red Sea part and manna fall from the sky, yet their hearts grew hard and they built a golden calf. Signs and wonders cannot replace an intimate relationship with God. Hebrews warns us not to harden our hearts as they did, but to encourage one another daily. We guard against a hard heart through personal devotion and active participation in a faith community.ConclusionWhen Moses asked God, "Show me your glory," God tucked him in a rock and only allowed him to see His back. Moses did not get exactly what he asked for in that moment, nor did he get to enter the Promised Land in his lifetime. However, God does not forget our prayers. Centuries later, on the Mount of Transfiguration (Matthew 17), Moses finally stands in the Promised Land, face-to-face with Jesus, whose face shone like the sun. Moses finally saw the full glory of God. God is worth the wait.Calls to ActionExamine Your Heart: Are there areas where your heart has grown hard or calloused toward God?Speak it Out: If you are struggling with unbelief or a hard heart, confess it to someone in your faith community this week to break its power.Trust the Delay: If you have been waiting a long time for a prayer to be answered, look to Moses. Trust that God's timing is perfect and His glory is worth the wait. Support the show*Summaries and transcripts are generated using AI. Please notify us if you find any errors.

(Hebrews 7:25; 9:24) Intercession shapes both the one who prays and the one being prayed for. Intercessory prayer Is both a privilege and an assignment. Christ lived praying, died praying, ascended praying, and now continually appears before the Father on our behalf. Jesus' ongoing intercession invites and empowers us to join Him at the throne of grace. (10139260611) Join Scott Pauley's study through Scripture this year.

The art of intercession is beyond our traditional concept of prayer. It calls us into a deep and profound comprehension of a sacrificial way of lifestyle that collaborates with the forces of heaven to bring about reformation and transformation to society. It flows from a selfless heart, fully and wholly devoted to God's kingdom purposes and prophetic mandate for man and creation. When we intercede, we step into a sacred calling, standing in the gap in relentless love and courage, aligning earthly realities with the divine will to shift the course of human affairs for individuals, communities, and entire nations.At its core, intercession is an act of love; it's an intentional, Spirit-led intervention on behalf of others. It's the moment when a human heart aligns with God's heart, pleading for His mercy, justice, and purposes to manifest in the earth. Whether it's for a family member, a city, or an entire nation, intercession carries the weight of heaven's redemptive plan. The Bible is filled with examples of intercessors who changed the course of history through their relentless, heartfelt prayers: Daniel, Nehemiah, Abraham, Moses, and countless others who stood before God on behalf of broken people and wayward nations.Consider Daniel's story in Babylon (Daniel 10). From the moment he began to pray, God dispatched an answer, but a spiritual adversary, the prince of Persia, hindered the response for 21 days. Daniel's persistence in prayer, coupled with angelic intervention, ultimately broke through the resistance. This account reveals a critical truth: intercession is not just a spiritual exercise; it's a confrontation with unseen forces that seek to oppose God's will. It requires tenacity, spiritual insight, and a deep understanding of the agencies at play in the spiritual realm.Intercession is heaven's ordained mechanism for transformation. If a nation is to experience revival, renewal, or restoration, it begins with a people who understand the ministry of intercession. These intercessors are the forerunners of change, the ones who labor in prayer to align earthly realities with heaven's purposes. But to be effective, intercession demands more than fervent prayers; it requires a clear understanding of the spiritual dynamics involved and a heart fully surrendered to God's redemptive plan.

**Video Title:** The Christadelphians – #14 'The Holy Spirit' – Harry Tennant**Description:**In this outstanding and revealing presentation, we—your Christadelphian brothers and sisters—delve into the biblical truth about the Holy Spirit. What is the Holy Spirit? Is it a separate person, or the radiant power of God Himself? Drawing from Scripture alone, brother Harry Tennant provides a wonderfully clear, insightful, and thought-provoking exposition that will transform your understanding of how God works in creation, revelation, redemption, and in our daily walk of faith.From the very beginning, we see the Spirit of God moving in creation, sustaining all things, and later inspiring the prophets to write the infallible Word. This same Spirit was focalised in the life, miracles, death, and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ—and now, through the gospel message, it convicts, begets new life, and produces the fruit of righteousness in every believer. We also explore the privilege of prayer, the ministry of angels, and the sword of the Spirit—the Word of God—that empowers us to resist temptation.Whether you are new to these truths or seeking a deeper, Bible-based understanding, this wonderful study will strengthen your faith and draw you closer to our Heavenly Father.**Chapters:**00:00 – Introduction: What is the Holy Spirit? 01:06 – Clearing the Confusion: Holy Ghost vs Holy Spirit 02:38 – Biblical Descriptions of the Holy Spirit 03:45 – The Spirit in Creation and Sustaining All Things 06:13 – The Spirit: God's Radiant Power, Not a Separate Person 06:58 – Revelation of Scripture by the Holy Spirit 08:40 – Resisting the Holy Spirit Through the Ages 10:41 – Miracles and Wonders by God's Power 12:50 – The Holy Spirit Focused in the Life of Christ 14:32 – Christ's Resurrection by the Power of God 15:52 – The Exalted Christ as a Life-Giving Spirit 18:31 – Christ: The Source of Everlasting Salvation 19:37 – The Spirit Empowers the Apostles 21:56 – The Word of the Spirit Brings New Birth 24:33 – Walking in the Spirit and Its Fruit 26:18 – The Message of Salvation: God's Power 28:25 – Renewing Your Mind Through God's Word 29:29 – Angels as Ministering Spirits 30:22 – The Privilege of Prayer and Christ's Intercession 32:58 – The Sword of the Spirit: God's Word in Temptation 34:54 – Bold Access to God's Throne of Grace 35:42 – Conclusion: God's Unfailing Presence and Care **Key Bible Verses:**

Dr. Tom Curran clarifies common misconceptions about “praise and worship” and explores different forms of praise: in song, in words and in silence. (individually, communally and liturgically) Tom shares insights from the Catechism of the Catholic Church on the Prayer of Praise and gives practical tips on how to teach kids to pray and forgive.Prayer Acronym:PTPIA - Praise, Thank, Petition, Intercession & AskForgiveness Sentences:“I did it.”“I'm sorry.”“Forgive me.”“I'll make up for it.”“I'll never do it again.”

If someone has turned on you, gossiped about you, or walked out — you can't fight it with authority. You have to fight it with prayer. This message will show you why God is looking for a generation willing to run into the middle of it. In this episode, Pastor Jeremy walks through Numbers 16 — the story of Korah's rebellion, Aaron running with the censer, and how Jesus is the greater Aaron who stood between the living and the dead for you. 

Study session scripture: Romans 8:26-39Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words. And he who searches hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God. And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose. For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. And those whom he predestined he also called, and those whom he called he also justified, and those whom he justified he also glorified.What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things? Who shall bring any charge against God's elect? It is God who justifies. Who is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one who died—more than that, who was raised—who is at the right hand of God, who indeed is interceding for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? As it is written, “For your sake we are being killed all the day long; we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.”No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.Study session topics:The Intercession of the Holy Spirit (vv. 26-27) This is an important topic because prayer itself is a confusing subject, as Paul himself concedes in v. 26 -"Likewise" or "In the same way"--connects the Holy Spirit's intercession to earlier context vv. 22-25: our hope in God's promises is strengthened by the Spirit's intercession on our behalfvv. 15-17: the Spirit's aid in prayer is further assurance that we are God's children The problem with prayer--our weakness The Holy Spirit assists us in our weakness in many ways, but here Paul is specifically talking about our ignorance The word "our" is important here--Paul is saying this is a problem for all Christians -"helps"--a hugely insufficient word Greek sunantilambanetai--someone coming alongside another to help bear a heavy burden -Paul transitions to his next and final point in this chapter by giving us both an assurance and an aspiration: the Spirit intercedes for Christians according to the will of God The Spirit translates our desires into requests that fit into the will of God The point of the Christian life is to be increasingly conformed to Christ, so we also should be increasingly petitioning God according to His willThe Practical Outworking of God's Character (vv. 28-39) v. 28 is one of the most well known--and misused--verses in the Bible It is not a platitude for things getting better, rather Paul immediately clarifies that he means all things work together to further sanctify us v. 28 is the thesis of the remainder of the chapter--we can rest assured in our salvation and know that we will be further sanctified due to the One our salvation rests on vv. 29-30 show the roadmap for God's process of saving and sanctifying His people -Foreknowledge -Predestination -Calling -Justification -Glorification In the last section of the chapter, Paul triumphantly, almost defiantly, challenges anyone to overthrow the work of God in salvation by posing 5 questions: Who can be against us? How will He not graciously give us all things? Who shall bring any charge? Who is to condemn? Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Study session audio: S4 E22: Romans 8:26-39 Download

What transforms a simple morning ritual into a profound encounter with the divine, and how does the mysterious anatomy of prayer bridge the gap between our feeble words and God's infinite understanding? Discover the intimate journey from confession to communion that turns ordinary moments into extraordinary spiritual transformation.

What if prayer isn't mostly about getting things from God… but joining Him in bringing heaven to earth? This week we explore intercessory prayer: praying for others, contending for God's Kingdom, and becoming people who carry names, places, and situations into the presence of God. Through stories of Monica and Augustine, Scripture, and practical next steps, we ask: Who are you carrying into the presence of God?

God is looking for believers to stand in the gap. Emulate Jesus by interceding for the lost, the oppressed, and your loved ones. Discover how prioritizing selfless prayer for others puts love into action and brings miraculous breakthroughs today.

In Acts 10:1-5, we read about a man named Cornelius. He was a righteous Gentile who loved God, prayed to Him and also gave to those in need. In describing Cornelius, the Bible uses a specific Greek term that only appears three times in the New Treatment. The verses say his prayers and gifts to the poor have come up as a “memorial” before God — a word that is also used in Mark 14 and Matthew 26. As we recognize Memorial Day this week, we’re looking at this biblical concept of a “memorial” to explore the things that God remembers. Because He is omniscient, God knows and remembers everything, but just like He chooses to forget our sins when we seek His forgiveness, there are also things that move Him to such an extent that He chooses to bring them to the forefront of His memory and ours.

This sermon aims to uplift and motivate believers to be vigilant in their spiritual intercession.

Intercession, heaven, and hell... per the Koran.

Weekly Kingdom Outlook Episode 234 -Intercession Certain events will not transpire unless we engage in prayer. Many perceive intercession solely as a means to vanquish adversaries. However, in actuality, intercession serves as the conduit through which we collaborate with God to effectuate desired outcomes.

"What happens when even the righteous reach their breaking point?In this chapter, David—who showed remarkable restraint toward Saul—nearly falls into destructive anger against Nabal. This passage exposes the limits of even the godliest men and highlights our deep need for divine grace.Enter Abigail.Through her wisdom and intercession, she turns away David's wrath and prevents bloodshed. Her actions not only demonstrate God's restraining grace but also serve as a powerful type of Christ—the ultimate intercessor who turns away divine wrath on behalf of His people.We examine human weakness, the necessity of God's providential restraint, and the glory of Christ's ongoing priestly intercession.At the same time, the judgment of Nabal reminds us that God Himself will deal with His enemies, and nothing can prevent His chosen King from taking the throne.This passage is both a warning and a comfort—and ultimately a testimony to the reign of Christ.#1Samuel25 #Abigail #Intercession #ChristOurHighPriest #BiblicalTheology #GraceOfGod #Providence #ReformedPreaching"

Working through history's greatest hymnal one Psalm at a time, we may not realize or remember the bigger picture of how the collection is organized. Mirroring the Books of Moses, the psalter is also a 'Pentateuch'. The psalms are arranged in five books beginning with songs 1 through 41, followed by book two: 42-72, book three: 73-89, book four: 90-106, and finally book five: 107-150. Each final song of books 1-4 closes with a doxology verse proclaiming: "Blessed be the Lord..." Finally the crescendo and universal call to worship is proclaimed in the final Psalm (150:6) "..Let everything that has breath. Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord! closing book 5. In our overview messages on the Psalter, let us consider closing themes from each set of songs and the big picture message they proclaim summarizing history's greatest hymnal. (Today we consider the first 2 examples. These will be followed in our next Psalm sermon with the same headings and 3 further points: COVENANTAL, INTERCESSION, EXILE INTERCESSION, AND WORSHIP

Pastor Kurt takes a deep dive into 1 Timothy 2:1–7, where Paul calls the church to PRAY for all people—including rulers—so the church can live credibly and the gospel can advance. He then grounds that prayer in PROCLAMATION: salvation is for all people.

Pastor Jim captures a sermon exploring the narrative of Genesis 19, focusing on the divine rescue and destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. He structured around three primary themes: the danger of a lingering leader, where Lot's hesitation and blurred moral lines diminished his influence over his family; the reality of God's unmerited grace, illustrated by the angels physically dragging a reluctant Lot to safety; and a solemn warning regarding the certainty of divine judgment for those who reject the gospel. Central to the message is the idea that salvation is an act of sovereign mercy rather than human merit, often granted in response to the faithful intercession of others. Ultimately, he urges the audience to respond to God with urgency and integrity, warning that those in positions of influence must live consistently with their faith so their witness is not dismissed as a jest.Support the showThanks for listening!

The Fire That Remains Life in the Spirit After the Collapse of the Religious Self Week IV — The Heart That Bears the World Love, Intercession, and the Hidden Life in the Spirit ⸻ Opening Invocation O Heavenly King, Comforter, Spirit of Truth, Who art everywhere present and fillest all things, Treasury of blessings and Giver of life, Come and dwell in us, Cleanse us from every impurity, And save our souls, O Good One. ⸻ I. The Return — But Nothing Is the Same At the beginning, the Spirit leads a man inward. Into exposure. Into poverty. Into silence. And it can seem as though the path is one of withdrawal. A leaving behind. A diminishing. But this is not the end. Because the same Spirit who leads a man into the desert of his own heart leads him back again. 1 Not outward in the old way. Not into activity rooted in self. But into a different kind of presence. The man returns to the world. But he does not return as he was. ⸻ II. The End of Living for Oneself Something has been broken. Quietly. Deeply. The constant reference to self. The need to interpret everything in relation to oneself. The subtle movement of: How does this affect me? What does this mean for me? Where do I stand? These begin to loosen. And with this a space opens. A freedom. Where others can begin to exist without being filtered through the self. This is the beginning of love. Not as an emotion. 2 Not as an effort. But as a way of being. “Love seeketh not her own.” (1 Corinthians 13:5) And for the first time this is not an ideal. It is something that begins to happen. ⸻ III. The Heart Enlarged by the Spirit The heart changes. Not outwardly. Not visibly. But in capacity. It begins to hold more. Not by effort. But by grace. You begin to feel: The weight of others. The pain of others. The confusion of others. Not in a way that overwhelms. But in a way that includes. The boundaries of the self soften. And the heart becomes... spacious. 3 “My heart is enlarged.” (Psalm 118/119) This is not sentimentality. It is not emotionalism. It is participation. A sharing in something greater than yourself. ⸻ IV. Intercession That Is Not Chosen Prayer changes again. Not in method. But in direction. Before, you struggled to pray. Then prayer began to live within you. Now something else happens: Others begin to appear in your prayer. Not because you decide to pray for them. But because they are given to you. A face. A name. A burden. And it remains. Quietly. Persistently. 4 You carry them. Sometimes without words. Sometimes without understanding. And this is intercession. Not as an activity. But as a participation in the love of Christ. “I could wish that myself were accursed for my brethren...” (Romans 9:3) A love that does not calculate. A love that bears. ⸻ V. The Hidden Nature of This Life And yet, outwardly, very little may change. You may still live in the same place. Do the same tasks. Speak with the same people. There is no need to appear different. No need to manifest anything. Because this life is hidden. Deep within. And this hiddenness is essential. Because the moment it becomes something seen something recognized something affirmed 5 the old self begins to stir. So the Spirit preserves this life in obscurity. In simplicity. In what appears to be ordinariness. “Your life is hid with Christ in God.” (Colossians 3:3) And this hiddenness is protection. ⸻ VI. Love Without Self-Consciousness There is a further purification. Even love becomes purified. Because at first we can become aware of loving. We notice it. We reflect on it. We take some subtle satisfaction in it. But here, even this begins to fall away. Love becomes unselfconscious. It acts without referring back to itself. It gives without knowing that it gives. It responds without constructing meaning. 6 And this is freedom. Because the self is no longer at the center even of what is good. ⸻ VII. The Bearing of Suffering As the heart expands so does its capacity to suffer. Not in a destructive way. But in a participatory way. You begin to feel more. To see more. To carry more. And yet there is no resistance. Because this suffering is no longer meaningless. It is no longer isolated. It is held within something greater. Within the life of Christ. “Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.” (Galatians 6:2) This is not something you choose. It is something you are drawn into. ⸻ 7 VIII. The Absence of Claims At this point something remarkable appears. Or rather something disappears. The need to claim anything. You no longer need to: Define your state. Explain your path. Assert your identity. Even inwardly. You do not need to know where you are. You do not need to measure. You do not need to conclude. You simply live. Before God. With others. And this simplicity is a great freedom. ⸻ IX. The Life That Becomes Prayer Everything begins to unify. Prayer is no longer separate from life. Life is no longer separate from prayer. 8 Silence speaks. Speech can remain rooted in silence. Action flows from stillness. There is less division. Less fragmentation. More wholeness. And this is not something you maintain. It is something given. Sustained quietly. By the Spirit. “It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me.” (Galatians 2:20) Not as an idea. But as a mystery slowly becoming real. ⸻ X. Closing Exhortation Do not seek this. Do not attempt to become this. Do not imitate what has been described. Remain faithful to what has been given to you. Remain in poverty. Remain in prayer. Remain in truth. And the Spirit will do His work. 9 Quietly. Hidden. Beyond your understanding. And what will emerge will not be something you have made. But a life. A heart. Capable of bearing others. Because it is held within Christ. ⸻ Closing Prayer Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, Thou who didst bear the sins of the world in Thy Body, grant us the grace to bear one another in love. Enlarge our hearts. Purify our love. Deliver us from ourselves. And grant that, hidden in Thee, we may become a place where others are held in Thy mercy. For Thou art the Lover of mankind. Amen. 10

As we prepare for the feast of St. Joseph on March 19th, we're sharing this excerpt from In Conversation with God from the 7th Sunday of St. Joseph.

Intercession is not just for a few spiritual specialists.In this episode of What the Prophets Say, Matt Johnson, Amanda Atkinson, and Karyn Stuart unpack what intercession really is, why every believer is called to pray, and how to discern the difference between praying from need, emotion, or opinion and praying what is truly on God's heart.This conversation explores the weight of praying for leaders, the importance of assignment, why your voice matters in prayer, and how intercession must always flow from relationship with Jesus rather than performance, pressure, or comparison.If you have ever wondered whether you are called to intercede, how to pray for leaders well, or how to know if you are praying God's will, this episode will help bring clarity.In this episode, we cover:Why every believer is called to intercedeThe difference between general prayer and specific assignmentHow to pray for leaders without getting in the fleshWhy comparison shuts down your voice in prayerHow to know what is truly on God's heartWhy trustworthy intercession mattersThe danger of praying from opinion, pain, or emotionHow to partner with the Lord in prayerKey takeawayIntercession is not about sounding powerful. It is about being trustworthy with what God places on your heart.Want to go deeper?
