Podcast appearances and mentions of jesus genesis

We were blessed to be able to witness 2 baptisms this morning and it was quit the celebration. This is part 3 of CommUNITY: Open Doors and Messy Tables, and as we look at the Gospel picture in Genesis, Pastor Dustin Clegg has 3 observations.1) Living in genuine community is difficult, but is a gift from Jesus (Genesis 2:15-23); 2) Community is meant to bring us out of hiding (Genesis 2:25-3:11); and3) We will never be free as long as we claim victimhood (Genesis 3:12-13).The main point is that Jesus does not want to expose us to leave us exposed, but to give us new clothes.

LEARNING TO LEAN ON JESUS (Genesis 32:1-28) The title of the message today is “Learning to lean on Jesus.” Now, in order to learn how to lean on Jesus, there is a battle that each of us will face, and it is a battle that I hope you are going to lose.  It is that battle that we will be talking about today.  We have been studying about the man Jacob and how God loved him.  Why did God love Jacob? It is for the same reason that He loves you. God did not love Jacob for what he was, but for what He knew He could make out of him. For, in spite of all of his faults, Jacob had a heart for God.  The question that you need to ask yourself today is, do you have a heart for God? Secondly, I want you to notice that God did not change Jacob so that He could love him; He loved Jacob in order to change him. And I'm so glad that God loves us today. With all of our weaknesses and with all of our faults, God sees something in us that He wants to make out of us. And so, He just loves us, and He keeps working with us. Thank God for His infinite, marvelous patience. God wants us to come to a place of total, absolute, dependence upon Him.  Most of us have never come to that place. Most of us still have enough Jacob in us to say, “Well, we hope He'll bless us, but if He doesn't, we'll figure out a way. We'll figure out a way somehow.”  God had to bring Jacob to a point where he was leaning on Jesus instead of his on self-confidence.  It is the place that God wants to bring every one of us to. Paul said we are those who “have no confidence in the flesh.” (Philippians 3:3)  Do you know what most people want to learn? Self-confidence. You go into any bookstore, and there will be a wall of books on self-confidence.  Having self-confidence sounds so good that to speak against self-confidence sounds terrible.  But, the Bible tells us that the one thing we don't need, is self-confidence.  Ok, when you hear me say that, right away your mind threw up a wall and you said, “Oh, yes, we do”—“yes, we do.” Everybody wants that self-confidence. We've been taught everywhere that we have got to have self-confidence. Yet, Paul tells us that, “[We] have no confidence in the flesh.” (Philippians 3:3)  We have no confidence in self.  Now, understand that I am not saying you should not have confidence, but, if you are going to have confidence, then you just have it in Jesus, have confidence in the Lord.  That doesn't mean that you are going to go around like a doormat. You go around like a real person.  If your confidence is in Jesus, then you will really have confidence.  Jesus is someone you can have real confidence in.  Jesus is someone that you can truly lean on. Click on the play button to hear a message on how God is battling with you to learn how to lean on Jesus.  I hope you lose this most important battle with the Lord. This is a battle you cannot afford to win. And when God the Holy Spirit is striving with you today, why don't you just throw in the towel and say, “Lord, I'll not let you go except you bless me,” and no longer be dependent upon the flesh. This is a live recording of The Master's Class Bible Study at LifeChange Church Wichita, KS. Amen.

We are living in momentous times! Whilst some in the media want to write off Christianity and talk about the decline of the church, the opposite is happening in many parts of the world today.   A report by the Pulitzer Centre shows that every day 35,000 people come to Christ through the work of the Holy Spirit. According to Operation World, Iran a country once closed to the gospel, now has the fastest-growing evangelical movement in the world. It is estimated that over 1 million have accepted Christ in the last 20 years. 
  Everything changed when the Holy Spirit came suddenly upon a group of 120 disciples. They testified boldly about Jesus to thousands who had gathered in Jerusalem at Pentecost and the church greatly accelerated (Acts 2:41,47; Acts 4:2; Acts 5:13; Acts 6:7; Acts 11:21,24).   Many churches around the world today are not meeting in small halls, but in stadiums. We too must pivot into seeing that happen in our nation. So, we are starting a new series on how it's time to reap the harvest. We see some simple lessons from the great example Jesus gave us as He preached to multitudes about this very topic (Matthew 9:35-38).   1. We must have vision (Matthew 9:36; Genesis 15:5) 2. We must have compassion (Matthew 9:36; Matthew 4:24,12:15; Luke 6:19; Matthew 8:1-4; Matthew 9:10-17; Luke 7:47; John 8; Romans 5:5) 3. We must pray for workers (Matthew 9:38; Philippians 2:10-11; Mark 1:35-37; Acts 13:2; Matthew 6:10; Genesis 32; Colossians 4:12) 4. We need to recruit teams (Matthew 10:1; Matthew 4:19; John 5:17; 1 Corinthians 15:10; John 15:8; Daniel 12:3; Romans 4:17; Luke 5:8,10-11; Nehemiah 4:6; 2 Timothy 4:5)  Apply   1. We must have vision (Matthew 9:36). Jesus saw the crowds, and He often ministered to crowds by the power of the Holy Spirit all at once. To see a great harvest into the Kingdom of God, we must have the same vision and focus as Jesus (Genesis 15:5). You need to have a big vision of the spiritual descendants who God is sending to us to fulfil His promise. When you receive it, instead of seeing a whole heap of trouble in the crowds, you'll start seeing how God will change the lives of millions of people who don't yet know Jesus.    2. We must have compassion (Matthew 9:36). Jesus looked on the crowds with eyes of compassion. He saw them as ‘harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd'. ‘Helpless' means that, like so many today, they were unable to handle the challenges life in daily life, and there was no-one to help them. At that time, apart from rampant sickness, poverty, disease and demonic oppression, Roman occupation of Israel brought its own challenges. Jesus didn't just see faces, He didn't just see problems: even in a crowd, He saw each individual, He knew their pain and addressed it with the power of God. Many times we read in the gospels that Jesus healed everyone that came to Him (Matthew 4:24,12:15; Luke 6:19).We too can show compassion by not hesitating to pray for the sick, asking Jesus to continue His work as we lay hands on them. Jesus ministered to the crowds but also individuals and to children. He ministered to despised people. He touched lepers with His unprotected hands, re-admitting them to society (Matthew 8:1-4). He ate with the tax collectors who were so hated by many (Matthew 9:10-17). He forgave the many sins of a prostitute (Luke 7:47) and saved a woman caught in the act of adultery from being stoned to death (John 8). What do you see when you look at a crowd? Are you filled with compassion?
Just like Jesus, you too can have God's heart of compassion (Romans 5:5). God wants to give you His heart, but you must be willing to receive it. Ask God for His heart of compassion.   3. We must pray for workers (Matthew 9:38). Everything begins with our recognition that there is a Lord of the harvest. That means we are not in charge: He is. He is Lord of our hearts, Lord of our lives, Lord of His church, and Lord of everything (Philippians 2:10-11). When we are submitted both to God and to leaders in the church, we can participate in His mission of sharing the good news of the gospel. His mission begins in the place of prayer, not in the place of busyness and activity. Prayer is how Jesus set His priorities for His work (Mark 1:35-37). When we pray, God calls people into His service (Acts 13:2). Our prayer can and will produce great change, and is where the real battle for people's the souls takes place. Sadly, many who are meant to be giving their best for God have sold themselves instead to their employer or their business, so God doesn't have first place and isn't Lord of their hearts. We must win a victory in the spiritual realm through prayer to release people into service for God (Matthew 6:10). Jacob wrestled with God in prayer to receive the blessing of God over his life and family. As a result of his all night encounter, his name was changed from Jacob to Israel and God blessed him (Genesis 32). We see this pattern of prayer in the New Testament church as they sought to not only win people to the Lord, but to see them established in Christ, standing firm (Colossians 4:12). Pray that God will call people out of darkness and into God's service, that He will establish them to stand firm and give them a repentant, good and noble heart that multiplies disciples.   4. We need to recruit teams. Jesus didn't just see the crowd, He saw what it would take to minister to them effectively. He would need to gather, train, commission, and release a team so that more people could be reached. After a night of prayer, He appointed His team of 12 disciples and sent them to do what He had been doing, giving them authority and equipping them (Matthew 10:1). This is what we must do if we are to be at full capacity for a great harvest. Jesus wants us to ask the Lord to send people who are willing to do the real work of evangelism, ministering where people are. Jesus called his team of 12 not just to stay with Him, but to go with Him, then go ahead of Him, to do what they saw him doing in public. God wants all of us to work for Him (Matthew 4:19; John 5:17; 1 Corinthians 15:10). Proof that we are disciples of Jesus is that we bear fruit of love in our character by what we do and in winning people to the Lord (John 15:8; Daniel 12:3). We must each be intentional in telling our story of what God has done in us whenever the opportunity arises. Together, like a combine harvester, we will reap as each one does their work. While some are winning people, others will be establishing people in the Lord, others will shaping and forming people as disciples so they too can serve, others will inspire and encourage people to become influencers, but all work together. Wherever we are employed, we are all first to be servants of God 24/7. Let's not allow ourselves any excuses. We have grace from God to overcome fear, to be patient and kind to people, to show mercy, to endure hardship. We may not think we can do evangelism, but God calls the things that are not as though they were (Romans 4:17). When we surrender to Him, He will help us. God is looking for workers who are available and God fearing (Luke 5:8,10-11). The first disciples were God fearing. There was no greater purpose in life for them than being with and working for Jesus, the Son of God. What's it going to take for you to be available to God right where you are? Don't hesitate to make the changes in your life so you can be ready for a great harvest. Make it a daily habit to tell God you are available to Him at any time to share your testimony. Then actively look for opportunities and take them. We must also be surrendered. Have you surrendered all to Jesus yet? Then we must be humble and anointed. Will you remain humble for God? Will you keep His anointing by being holy? We are to be persistent and hard-working team players (Nehemiah 4:6). Every one of us is called to ‘do the work of an evangelist' (2 Timothy 4:5).  So to see a great harvest, we need vision to minister to multitudes of people, we need God's heart of compassion, more prayer, and more teams. Let us pray that God will send forth many workers who will lead many people to know his son Jesus, to the glory of God! This is a momentous time where we all need to become full time servants of God in our attitude of mind. Wherever we are employed, it is time to start living on God's terms and not our own. It's time to receive Jesus as Lord, not just saviour. Lord of your time, money ambitions, hopes, dreams. Then you'll be able to serve Him wholeheartedly.

Big Idea: You can't Catfish Jesus. Genesis 27:1-40 1. Rebekah distrusted Jesus Genesis 27: 1-13 When Isaac was old and his eyes were so weak that he could not see, he called his older son Esau and said to him, “My son.” And he answered, “Here I am.” He said, “Look, I am old and do not know the day of my death. So now take your hunting gear, your quiver and bow, and go out in the field to hunt some game for me. Then make me a delicious meal that I love and bring it to me to eat, so that I can bless you before I die.” Now Rebekah was listening to what Isaac said to his son Esau. So while Esau went to the field to hunt some game to bring in, Rebekah said to her son Jacob, “Listen! I heard your father talking with your brother Esau. He said, ‘Bring me game and make a delicious meal for me to eat so that I can bless you in the Lord's presence before..." 2.  Jacob deceived Jesus  Genesis 27: 14-24 So he went and got the goats and brought them to his mother, and his mother made the delicious food his father loved. Then Rebekah took the best clothes of her older son Esau, which were in the house, and had her younger son Jacob wear them. She put the skins of the young goats on his hands and the smooth part of his neck. Then she handed the delicious food and the bread she had made to her son Jacob. When he came to his father, he said, “My father.” And he answered, “Here I am. Who are you, my son?” Jacob replied to his father..." 3.  Isaac disobeyed Jesus    Genesis 27: 25-29 Then he said, “Bring it closer to me, and let me eat some of my son's game so that I can bless you.” Jacob brought it closer to him, and he ate; he brought him wine, and he drank. Then his father Isaac said to him, “Please come closer and kiss me, my son.” So he came closer and kissed him. When Isaac smelled his clothes, he blessed him and said: Ah, the smell of my son is like the smell of a field that the..." 4.  Esau did Jesus's will    Genesis 27: 30-40 As soon as Isaac had finished blessing Jacob and Jacob had left the presence of his father Isaac, his brother Esau arrived from his hunting. He had also made some delicious food and brought it to his father. He said to his father, “Let my father get up and eat some of his son's game, so that you may bless me.” But his father Isaac said to him..." Next Steps: Believe: I surrendered to Jesus today. Become: I will submit to Jesus this week.  Be Sent: I will speak to someone about Easter. Growth Group Questions:  1. Do you know anyone who is clearly trying to disobey God? 2. What makes it hard for some people to trust God? 3. Was there an event that destroyed harmony in your family? Explain. 4. What makes anyone feel like they can disobey God? 5. When was the last time you submitted to God, even when you didn't want to? 6. Who do you know that needs to hear about Jesus this Easter? 7. Pray for the courage to submit to Jesus even when it's scary this week.

The human soul seems hardwired to long for atonement—a strong, sometimes desperate, desire for forgiveness and release. This is a sentiment that echoes across cultures and religious practices, revealing a shared yearning to be set right with God. As we delve into this episode, we find in the story of the Akedah a vivid representation of how far God was willing to go to grant us that atonement. "God will provide for himself the lamb for a burnt offering, my son," Abraham tells Isaac, echoing a promise fulfilled through Jesus (Genesis 22:8). Akedah literally means, “The Binding,” and recounts the story of Abraham taking his “one and only son” Isaac to the top of Moriah to sacrifice him.

Akedah literally means, “The Binding,” and recounts the story of Abraham taking his “one and only son” Isaac to the top of Moriah to sacrifice him. In Jewish tradition, the Akedah resurfaces each year during Rosh Hashanah services, serving as a collective meditation on obedience, sacrifice, and divine intervention. The sound of the shofar, the ram's horn, harkens back to that moment when God provided a ram to replace Isaac. This narrative reverberates today as Jews consider God's provision and await the coming of the Messiah. Yet for many, the realization that the Messiah has already come remains an unopened gift. As we read in Hebrews 11:19, Abraham "considered that God was able even to raise [Isaac] from the dead." This faith foreshadows the faith we're called to have in Jesus, Yeshua in Hebrew, as the ultimate sacrifice and the final unbinding of sin. Let's pray today for our Jewish brothers and sisters to recognize Yeshua as their atonement and their freedom from spiritual bondage.

Dr. Jeremiah Johnston is an author, pastor of apologetics, and what he refers to as a Christian thinker. He knew that he loved God and loved His word, but he had a burning desire to want to not only understand it better, and to be able to know and see for Himself that the Christian faith could stand up to questioning. Ultimately, what he found is “Jesus and the faith and the scriptures are the answers to the questions you have today, not just the questions of yesterday.”    Now he is the pastor of apologetics at Prestonwood Baptist Church, and his ministry Christian Thinkers Society is designed to speak to seekers and skeptics and those who have big and very real questions about the historical Jesus, the church, and scripture, but also to encourage followers of Christ to own their faith. In his latest book Body of Proof: The 7 Best Reasons to Believe in the Resurrection of Jesus- and Why It Matters Today Dr. Johnston shares some of the fascinating details that prove the resurrection as a historical event, and why focusing on the resurrection and not just the cross deeply matters. In his work and in our conversation today, he unpacks a little bit of the context of the world Jesus revealed Himself to in His resurrected form, and we discuss details that perhaps have been overlooked due to the familiarity of the narrative of the resurrection to many of us in the church. I don't know where you are or where this conversation finds you, but I hope that you can walk away with a little more hope and encouragement in your soul. The bedrock of Christianity stands firm. It is based on facts, and it can take questions and research, archeology, and history. Our resurrected Savior can take our big feelings, our questions, and the cries of our weary souls. The God of the universe that took on flesh, died, and rose again, cares about you, and He gave it all to show you. I hope you can believe that today. You matter, and your story matters.   Connecting with Dr. Johnston Book: Body of Proof: The 7 Best Reasons to Believe in the Resurrection of Jesus- and Why It Matters Today Facebook Instagram   Sponsor for this Episode: Hopefuel Use the code 'SIMPLY15' for 15% off Instagram Website   References: Oxford University Craig Evans Bodleian Library  Papyrology Codicology Paleography Christian Thinkers Society  Prestonwood Baptist Church Pastor of Apologetics  Unanswered by Dr. Johnston  The head of Christ painting Road to Emmaus painting by Robert Zund, 1877  James the brother of Jesus The Messiah would be another David or Samson or would cleanse the priesthood and the Temple Dead Sea Scrolls The New Testament: Its Background, Growth and Content- Bruce Metzger Jospehus Saducee- Progressives bought out by the Romans Pharisee- Tradition of keeping the Torah  Zealots- Extremists who trained to take power from Rome back by force Sanhedrin- The governing body of the Jewish community The diaspora Remember- celebrate with festival example Mishnah Verisamilitude  Bone boxes on the Mount of Olives Unimaginable book by Dr. Johnston Lee Strobel, The Case for Christ Scripture References: Hebrews 4:12- The word of God is alive and active Luke 24, John 20- The resurrection of Jesus  Revelation 2:28-The morning star of our faith 1 Corinthians 15 - the death AND resurrection of Jesus Luke 23, John 18:28-19:42- The judiciary procedure that led to the crucifixion  John 20:1-18-Appears to women/Mary doesn't recognize Jesus  John 20:24-29-Thomas Luke 24:13-35-The two with Jesus on the road to Emmaus  Matthew 5-7- The sermon on the mount Luke 4:14-30- the sermon in Nazareth Exodus 11-19- The Passover  Deuteronomy 6:6-9,Deuteronomy 11:18-20,Isaiah 57:8- Put this on your doorpost Luke 22:17-38- Jesus called them to remember through the last supper Luke 22- Judas betrayed Jesus Matthew 10:4,Mark 3:18,Luke 6:15,Acts 1:13- Simon the Zealot John 19:38-40-Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus bury Jesus  Genesis 50:25- Joseph asked to have his bones carried back to the land of his father  Matthew 27:55-56-The women stayed with Jesus, and are at the cross Matthew 26:56, Mark 14:50- They didn't run like the disciples 1 Corinthians 12:12-31-The body of Christ needs all its parts for it to work Romans 8- the message of the Gospl and of Jesus' love that there is no condemnation in Christ Jesus  1 Corinthians 15:58-Be strong, steadfast and immovable, always abound in the work of the Lord  1 Corinthians 16- people are suffering, let's care for people  Matthew 9:36- He had compassion on them because He saw them as sheep without a shepherd Hebrews 12:2- keep your eyes on the author and perfector of our faith 1 Peter 2:4-8- Christ is the cornerstone  Hebrews 13:8-Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever  Hebrews 13:5–6; Deuteronomy 31:6–8- He never leaves us or forsakes us JOIN OUR PATREON COMMUNITY!!!!

Blake Guichet, better known as the Girl Named Blake, is the host of the Confessions of a Crappy Christian Podcast, and the author of her book with a similar title, Confessions of a Crappy Christian Real-Life Talk About All the Things Christians Aren't Sure We're Supposed to Say and Why They Matter to God. Blake shares a little bit of her story of growing up at war with herself because she felt like she didn't fit anywhere, and the journey of making her faith her own as she grew up. She began asking big questions like who is God really? Who does he say that I am? What have I culturally believed is true and what do I actually believe is true because God's Word says its true? In the middle of that season, she tried all the things that seemed like the next right step for a woman with a voice who loved Jesus, but hustle culture took a devastating toll on her mind, body, and heart. Then, the Lord had to meet her in that place and to trust Him and His timing to be the One who would lead her to what it meant to work and minister for His glory, and to live from her heart for Him from all the platforms He's given her. We talk about what it means to to have self confidence and also posses humility, and how to honor God in the way He designed us. Trying to peel away the stigmas that surround big topics everyone faces, and normalize Christians talking about mental health, shame, being female and maybe not the “typical” and “expected” Christian female, Blake's reckoning with the Proverbs 31 woman, not the one from the tote bags, but the one that was written in the original language of scripture, all of it is on the docket, and you won't want to miss it! I hope that in this conversation you can find some piece of yourself in it. No matter how God made you, no matter whether you feel like you fit in or not, you matter to the Lord, and your story matters.   Connecting with Blake: The Girl Named Blake Website : Home for all her services, the podcast, etc. Facebook Instagram Podcast Instagram Episode Sponsor: Tony Crabtree of Crabtree Homes with Exit Realty Facebook Instagram  Tik Tok  Website YouTube JOIN OUR PATREON COMMUNITY!!!!

The story of Cain and Abel is one of a family divided by sin, and a choice made again and again to step away from the presence of God. But where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.

The call of Jesus is not an easy one to carry out. Similar to Abraham in Genesis 12, Jesus calls us to leave everything behind to follow him. He has a promised land at the end and he even offers a blessing along the journey, but most of the time, God takes us down a path that we wouldn't have chosen ourselves. Something that's way outside of our comfort zone. This message is the summary of the Breaking All the Rules series and the Introduction to the Where's My Miracle series. If you have questions.or need resources in your spiritual journey, we are here for you. We hope to hear stories of God breaking through in your life as you seek to follow the path of Jesus! Support the show

The Life of Joseph A Type of Jesus (Genesis 37:1-50:26) PSALM 105: 16-19 HE [GOD] CALLED DOWN FAMINE ON THE LAND AND DESTROYED ALL THEIR SUPPLIES OF FOOD; AND HE SENT A MAN BEFORE THEM— JOSEPH, SOLD AS A SLAVE. THEY BRUISED HIS FEET WITH SHACKLES, HIS NECK WAS PUT IN IRONS, TILL WHAT HE FORETOLD CAME TO PASS, TILL THE WORD OF THE LORD PROVED HIM TRUE. Genesis 39-40 Joseph in prison Joseph: A PIcture of Salvation Joseph & God's Sovereignty But Joseph said to them "Don't be afraid. AmI in the place of God? You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives. Genesis 50:19-20
