Podcast appearances and mentions of Jay E Adams

QUOTES FOR REFLECTION“In times like these you need a SaviorIn times like these you need an anchorBe very sure, be very sureYour anchor holds and grips the Solid Rock! This Rock is Jesus, Yes He's the OneThis Rock is Jesus, the only OneBe very sure, be very sureYour anchor holds and grips the Solid Rock!”~Ruth Caye Jones, 1943 “When one's hope is properly set on God, fixed upon His promises and founded upon His Word, that hope does not fail.”~Jay E. Adams “We wait for the Lord;he is our help and shield.For our hearts rejoice in himbecause we trust in his holy name.May your faithful love rest on us, Lord,for we put our hope in you.”~Psalm 33:20-22 (CSB)SERMON PASSAGEHebrews 6:9-20 (CSB) 9 Even though we are speaking this way, dearly loved friends, in your case we are confident of things that are better and that pertain to salvation. 10 For God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you demonstrated for his name by serving the saints—and by continuing to serve them. 11 Now we desire each of you to demonstrate the same diligence for the full assurance of your hope until the end, 12 so that you won't become lazy but will be imitators of those who inherit the promises through faith and perseverance. 13 For when God made a promise to Abraham, since he had no one greater to swear by, he swore by himself: 14 I will indeed bless you, and I will greatly multiply you. 15 And so, after waiting patiently, Abraham obtained the promise. 16 For people swear by something greater than themselves, and for them a confirming oath ends every dispute. 17 Because God wanted to show his unchangeable purpose even more clearly to the heirs of the promise, he guaranteed it with an oath, 18 so that through two unchangeable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled for refuge might have strong encouragement to seize the hope set before us. 19 We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain. 20 Jesus has entered there on our behalf as a forerunner, because he has become a high priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.

A mensagem apresenta uma reflexão profunda sobre o tema do perdão na família, utilizando como base o testemunho de José do Antigo Testamento (Gênesis 45:1-15), que perdoa seus irmãos apesar de ter sido vendido por eles. José enxerga a mão de Deus em seu sofrimento, entendendo que foi preservado para salvar a vida de muitos durante a fome. A narrativa enfatiza a dificuldade do perdão, que envolve a renúncia ao direito de ressentimento e retaliação, e é ilustrada por várias citações bíblicas e de autores como C.S. Lewis, Jay E. Adams, e Santo Agostinho. O perdão é retratado como um ato de obediência, coerência, e sobrevivência, com benefícios para a saúde física e emocional. O texto oferece orientações práticas sobre como perdoar, mesmo quando é difícil, e encoraja a reconciliação após o perdão.

Ich möchte gleich zu Anfang betonen, dass Zorn nicht unbedingt verkehrt ist. Manche Christen meinen, Zorn sei von vornherein Sünde. Aber das ist nicht die Sichtweise der Bibel. Jede Gefühlsregung, zu der wir fähig sind, ist uns von Gott zu einem bestimmten Zweck gegeben. Unter gewissen Umständen ist Zorn eine sehr angemessene Gemütsäußerung, und selbst eine bestimmte Art Hass kann richtig sein. Wir lesen in den Psalmen: »Die ihr den HERRN liebt, hasst das Böse!« (Ps. 97,10). Selbst eine an sich so zerstörende Kraft wie der Hass kann also auf richtige Weise eingesetzt werden. Und in Psalm 7,12 haben wir ein Beispiel für gerechten Zorn: Gott ist zornig über den Ungerechten. https://voh-missionswerk.de/blog/duerfen-christen-zornig-sein/

Training for Godliness: Study 6: The Local Church   Jan-Feb 2020  A. The Battle Ground  1. God’s design of dependence 26 Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”  27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.  28 And God blessed them. And God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”  Genesis 1:26-28 ESV Dependence on God’s revelation Dependence on God for purpose    2. Satan, the disciple maker Now the serpent was more crafty than any other beast of the field that the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God actually say, ‘You shall not eat of any tree in the garden’?” 2 And the woman said to the serpent, “We may eat of the fruit of the trees in the garden, 3 but God said, ‘You shall not eat of the fruit of the tree that is in the midst of the garden, neither shall you touch it, lest you die.’” 4 But the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die. 5 For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” 6 So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate, and she also gave some to her husband who was with her, and he ate. 7 Then the eyes of both were opened, and they knew that they were naked. And they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves loincloths.  Genesis 3:1-7 ESV Doubt God’s Word Doubt God’s Character Adam and Eve presented with two worldviews   3. How do people change? 43 “For no good tree bears bad fruit, nor again does a bad tree bear good fruit,44 for each tree is known by its own fruit. For figs are not gathered from thorn bushes, nor are grapes picked from a bramble bush. 45 The good person out of the good treasure of his heart produces good, and the evil person out of his evil treasure produces evil, for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.”   Luke 6:43-45 ESV “That’s not who I am” Sin originates from within (James 1:13-15) “External changes that don’t follow internal changes of heart toward God always move a person further away from the Lord.” Jay E. Adams True Discipling speaks to the heart! “12 Take care, brothers, lest there be in any of you an evil, unbelieving heart, leading you to fall away from the living God. 13 But exhort one another every day, as long as it is called “today”, that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.”   Hebrews 3:12-13 ESV    B. In Your Group – Models of Discipling  1. Jesus Christ 13 And he went up on the mountain and called to him those whom he desired, and they came to him. 14 And he appointed twelve (whom he also named apostles) so that they might be with him and he might send them out to preach 15 and have authority to cast out demons. Mark 3:13-15 ESV From these verses, what do we learn about Jesus’ approach to making disciples? Specifically think about  The selection process What Jesus does with them What the goal of his discipling is    2. The Apostle Paul 27 To them God chose to make known how great among the Gentiles are the riches of the glory of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. 28 Him we proclaim, warning everyone and teaching everyone with all wisdom, that we may present everyone mature in Christ. 29 For this I toil, struggling with all his energy that he powerfully works within me.  Colossians 1:27-29 ESV From these verses, what do we learn about Paul’s approach to making disciples? Specifically think about: The goal of discipling (how does this compare with our goal-setting?) How does Paul tell us he fulfils the task?    C. Being a Disciple-Maker  1. Our Shared Calling “Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing.”  1 Thessalonians 5:11 ESV   2. Who will I disciple? Not a superior-inferior relationship Who has the Lord already placed in your life? Look at your home first! Men disciple men; women disciple women Look around your church – ask your leaders Don’t spread yourself too thin   3. What are my goals? Word-centred Real Life Focused Genuine Investment  4. What will I give? Time Preparation Prayer Myself

The texts we love to misquote. In this new series, Jeff and Allen will occasionally spend an episode tackling infamously out of context verses in the Bible thrown around the Christian world.
