Do You Believe that “He {God} gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life”? MESSAGE SUMMARY:  You have got to believe; but until you get your thinking right, your life will not change – you have got to believe! It is hard for some people, today, to believe in the miraculous birth of Jesus celebrated on Christmas day. Ok, just start where you are in what you believe. Can you believe that you are a sinner? Can you believe that you are not perfect? Can you believe that you have violated God's laws? Despite this life background, can you believe that God loves you just as you now are? Can you believe that God sent His Only Son, Jesus, to save all that believe in Him so that you would not perish but have eternal life? Maybe this is where you start in believing in the miraculous birth of Jesus; you need to start where you are. Jesus' life was defined by His death on the cross and by His resurrection, thereby, living up to the translation of His name, Jesus – “Salvation”. The Apostle John succinctly summarized the purpose of Jesus birth in John3:16-17: “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.".   TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, fill me with the simple trust that even out of the most awful evil around me, you are able to bring great good — for me, for others, and for your great glory. In Jesus' name, amen.     Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 91). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, I affirm that because I am in Jesus Christ, I will seek God's perspective on my situation. For I know that in all things God works together for good to those of us who love Him and are called according to His purpose.

Monday, 23 December 2024   Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect. Matthew 5:48   “Therefore, you, you shall be complete, just like your Father – the ‘in the heavens' – He is complete” (CG).   The previous verse conveyed Jesus' words concerning greeting others. Even the tax collectors greet their brethren. So what reward is there in doing such a thing? The reward comes in greeting those you are not friendly with or maybe even those with whom you have a sense of enmity or loathing.   Based on this and the other principles stated by Him, He now sums up His thoughts saying, “Therefore, you, you shall be complete.”   The word translated as complete, teleios, signifies reaching an end goal by going through necessary stages. HELPS Word Studies says, “[This root (tel-) means ‘reaching the end (aim).' It is well-illustrated with the old pirate's telescope, unfolding (extending out) one stage at a time to function at full-strength (capacity effectiveness).]”   As such, it signifies that which is complete. In this case, however, the word “perfect” gives the correct sense of Jesus' words. This is because of the next words, “just like your Father – the ‘in the heavens' – He is complete.”   Though not found in all manuscripts, Jesus uses the word hósper, it is derived from hós, meaning like or as, and per, an emphatic particle. Therefore, it means just as, even as, or just like.   Jesus is saying that in order to meet the demands of the law, the standard by which God – who is the One in the heavens – judges man, a person must come to a state of completion, meaning absolute perfection, that is exactly like God. No wonder Paul wrote these words to those in Philippi –   “But what things were gain to me, these I have counted loss for Christ. 8 Yet indeed I also count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ 9 and be found in Him, not having my own righteousness, which is from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith; 10 that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death, 11 if, by any means, I may attain to the resurrection from the dead.” Philippians 3:7-11   Paul knew that his righteousness, which was from his efforts under the law of Moses, was wholly insufficient to bring him to the necessary state of completion where he could be exactly like God. Thus, he needed something more, a perfection in and of itself, that could be credited to him. That something is the righteousness of God which is found in Christ Jesus.   Life application: Although it seems in Matthew 5 that Jesus is telling His disciples that they must merit salvation through the law, He is actually telling them exactly the opposite. He is showing them the impossibility of meeting the demands of the law. But He already told them that through Moses –   “You shall therefore keep My statutes and My judgments, which if a man does, he shall live by them: I am the Lord.” Leviticus 18:5   To live is to not die. The Lord was telling Israel that by keeping the law, they would live. But every person who ever lived under the law (with the exception of Elijah who was translated directly to heaven) died.   This demonstrated to Israel, and it should be a learning tool to us, that the law cannot bring life. We cannot be perfect just like our heavenly Father through law observance. However, Jesus could. He died under the law, but not for His own sins. Rather, He died for the sins of others.   Then, on the third day, He rose again. What does this prove? It proves that He is exactly like His Father who is in the heavens. He bears the perfection of God. As only God can bear the perfection of God under the law, it tells us that Jesus is God come in human flesh.   What was stated in Jonah is proven true in Jesus: Salvation is of the Lord. Jesus is the Lord, Jehovah. This is what Scripture is telling us. Understanding this, Jesus' words of Matthew 5 are not a call for Israel to work harder under the law, something that will never reconcile them to God. Instead, His word cries out to them that they must trust Him for this.   With the introduction of the New Covenant, Gentiles are included in this process of salvation. Those who were never under the law are granted the same chance of obtaining salvation as those who were under the law.   Jesus! Jesus is the answer. So why would anyone want the burden of the law imposed on them? In Christ Jesus is complete restoration because we are made to be exactly like our Father in the heavens through the imputation of Christ's righteousness.   Lord God, You demand absolute perfection because the new heavens and new earth will be absolutely perfect. How can we be a part of that? It is through faith in Christ Jesus alone. Thank You that we have merited perfection through Him and not through our own failing attempt at it. Yes, thank You for Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

What is Messianic Judaism, is it the same as Christianity — and what do its worship services look like? These are just some of the questions Christian Post reporter Ian M. Giatti tackles on the show today.Giatti also recently addressed these topics in an article titled, "Messianic rabbi points Jews, Gentiles to Christ in the heart of the Bible Belt," a piece about Messianic Rabbi Ari Waldman and his Dallas-based Baruch Hashem."What we're talking about is essentially this notion ... of a Judaism that acknowledges that Jesus is the Messiah," Giatti explained. "It kind of encompasses New Testament theology overlayed on ... Orthodox Judaism."Listen to the full explainer.

The categories of questions we will share are related to: The nature of God and Jesus with questions about: God's origin  God's interaction with Satan  God's interaction with man  The deity of Jesus  Salvation and how to become a Christian with questions about: How God calls people  Faith Only Baptism “Once Saved, Always Saved”

The announcement of the birth of Jesus is such an encouraging message of great joy, hope, love and peace.  I want to tie in the birth of Jesus with His resurrection, and what we have available today, in the New Covenant. Jesus is the best gift ever given. He is the Savior of the world. His name in the Hebrew, Yeshua means salvation.    John 3:16 promises, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life."  When the Bible speaks of salvation as a gift from God, it emphasizes the fact that salvation is something given freely by Him rather than something we earn.  But the point of salvation is not so we won't perish, but it's to have eternal life. John 17:3 says, “And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.” God wants to have a personal, intimate relationship with you! From Luke 2:10-11, 2:14 we find that Jesus offers us Salvation, which is a free gift that must be received. It is not earned.  By His grace, God has already done everything to provide salvation. Your part is simply to believe and receive. Ephesians 2:8-9 "For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast."    What is the good news: The Gospel of Peace with God. The angels were praising God and rejoicing that through Jesus, there was peace between God and mankind. This peace came through the blood sacrifice Jesus made on the cross.  Colossians 1:20 “and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of his cross.” -Jesus was rejected and beaten by men and bore our punishment so that we could be reconciled to God.  -Romans 5:8 “But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.   Now God can justly love us. God isn't mad at you; all of His judgment against our sin was placed on Jesus.   This is the Gospel of peace. Jesus paid the punishment for sin in our place. He was the Suffering Servant who took our place. We now have a covenant of peace.    Jesus' obedience to do the Father's will and shed His blood for you, makes you worthy to receive. It's called a gift of righteousness- by faith through God's grace.   **Want to receive the free gift of salvation offered by Jesus Christ? You can accept it right now.  All you must do is "confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved" Romans 10:9.  Pray this now out loud: “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Savior. I believe in my heart that you are the Son of God and He raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!”   The very moment you commit your life to Jesus Christ, the truth of His Word instantly comes to pass in your spirit and a new way of thriving is available. All of the benefits of salvation are for you!   If you prayed that prayer and meant it from your heart, you are save.  Please contact me and let me know that you've prayed to receive Jesus as your Savior. It says that all of heaven celebrates when someone receives Jesus, and I want to celebrate with you as well.   email me: lori@loriksnyder.com IG: @lorikaysnyder  https://www.instagram.com/lorikaysnyder/ FB: @lorikaysnyder https://www.facebook.com/lorikaysnyder LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lorikaysnyder/ FREE Bible Training: How To Live In God's Best For You!

Do You Believe that “He {God} gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life”? MESSAGE SUMMARY:  You have got to believe; but until you get your thinking right, your life will not change – you have got to believe! It is hard for some people, today, to believe in the miraculous birth of Jesus celebrated on Christmas day. Ok, just start where you are in what you believe. Can you believe that you are a sinner? Can you believe that you are not perfect? Can you believe that you have violated God's laws? Despite this life background, can you believe that God loves you just as you now are? Can you believe that God sent His Only Son, Jesus, to save all that believe in Him so that you would not perish but have eternal life? Maybe this is where you start in believing in the miraculous birth of Jesus; you need to start where you are. Jesus' life was defined by His death on the cross and by His resurrection, thereby, living up to the translation of His name, Jesus – “Salvation”. The Apostle John succinctly summarized the purpose of Jesus birth in John3:16-17: “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.".   TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, fill me with the simple trust that even out of the most awful evil around me, you are able to bring great good — for me, for others, and for your great glory. In Jesus' name, amen.     Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 91). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, I affirm that because I am in Jesus Christ, I will not be ashamed of the Gospel. I will not be ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ for it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes (including me).

Pastor David shares Wednesday in Dickinson.

It is vital for us to each know who we are in Christ and if we are not born again what that means - studying the Word of God shows us the truth about God and about ourselves. Do you know who you are in Christ?

John 8:12-30 | March 20, 2022 | Aaron Lee Jesus is the Son of God, bringing salvation to those who believe and judgment to those who reject him. Watch the video on YouTube: https://youtu.be/9nAjt0H8z9s

Joel Wood | Feb. 27 2022To say that salvation is found in Christ alone is deeply offensive. It means that all of our “good deeds,” all the things that we look at in ourselves to take pride in or boast about count for nothing. It means that we are no better than a criminal who mocks Jesus as he dies. It means that there is no salvation outside of Christ. But to say that salvation is found in Christ alone is also deeply astonishing. It means that salvation is instant and free. It means salvation is fully dependent on another. It means that what was destroyed through one man's sin is fully restored through another man's obedience. So that when we believe in him, we get to enjoy him and all that is his.

When you wake up, is your goal to make your name great, or to make Jesus' name great? Are our lives focused on building our own kingdoms, or the Kingdom of God? This week, Zach dives into the story of John the Baptist, and how we can learn from His example of proclaiming Jesus. Jesus has rescued us, and He has set the ultimate example of love and humility found in Philippians 2. As His children, how can we respond to that example? By making ourselves less, and making Jesus's name greater. (11/7/21)

This Sunday, we open God's Word to Hebrews 2:1-4. We will be challenged to heed God's warning and to do what is necessary to restore our relationship with Jesus Christ and remember: salvation is found in no other.

Do you ever feel like you are hanging on to life by a thread?  If so, you are not alone.  Life is full of obstacles to overcome, especially when you face tough odds.Recently my daughter and I watched a Disney movie where the hero was faced with insurmountable odds which could no way imaginable be overcome.  As the move progressed, the character developed, grew, and discovered an energy force they could tap into for power.  By the time the credits rolled, the problem was solved, the distress ended, and the world was rescued.  This was a story of hope.  The character used hope to power through the impossible.What was a movie you've probably seen and would watch again.  I've learned, but you might disagree, but its these tales or triumph that make life worth living.  In the struggle we find  strength. The trials test us to develop power we didn't know was available.  This is the story of your life a fascinating story of hope.The truth is that no one would watch a movie or read a book where the main character grows up easily in the mid-west, never faces a bully or problem in school, graduates with honors and a super-high GPA, excel in college, get s dream job, marries, has children, and eventually retires to travel the world and then dies  peacefully in his sleep at a ripe old age.  That story is boring!  We are attracted to tales of hope where light wins over darkness.  We dream of victory over adversity.  This story fuels the energy of hope.  The better days ahead are tikvah!Super Bowl champions hope they can repeat their wins. Army generals hope their battle plans bring victory.  Kids hope that school lets out early.  We must have hope today as well. In Hebrew one of the words translated as hope is “tikvah.”  This hidden Hebrew gem is much more than just a political catchphrase telling you that things will get better one day.  Tikvah is hope super-sized.  Tikvah is hope magnified. Tikvah is hope on steroids.  It is power for your life and an amazing message from years gone by. Now, it's important to know that each Hebrew word is built upon and based upon a smaller root word. This is similar to how the word “supercalifragilisticexpialidocious” is rooted and based upon the simple word “super.”  The Hebrew word "tikvah" is rooted and based from the word "qawa" which means to "twist, stretch, wait, or collect."  The word picture here is clear that Tikvah is a twisting a stretching from heaven as we wait on our Maker.  In fact, the words “hope” and “wait” are often used interchangeably by Bible translators. The root word for Tikvah is also found in Genesis 49:18.  This is a prophetic verse that can only be understood in the holy Hebrew language.  In English it reads, “for your salvation I hope O Lord.”   In Hebrew this verse says, “Qawa yeshua Yahweh.” The root word for “tikvah” is found in this prayer by Jacob.  It's also in this passage that the patriarch Jacob says the name of our Messiah. Thousands of years before he would be born to a virgin, Jacob says “I have tikvah in Jesus” or “I wait upon Jesus Salvation of the Lord.”  It is absolutely amazing that Jacob knew the Messiah's name and he recognized that Jesus would bring hope to the entire world. It should not surprise us but the national anthem of the nation of Israel is called “Ha Tikvah” or “The Hope.”  The number one message given to soldiers and citizens in the Promised Land is that of hope.The lyrics to the song explain the hope of the Hebrews.  Just read how the lyrics of this song express the prophetic desire of God…“As long as the Hebrew spirit is yearning deep in the heart, With eyes turned towards the East, looking toward Zion, Then our hope – the two thousand-year-old hope – will not be lost To be a free people in our land, the land of Zion and Jerusalem."There is a national hope and there is individual hope in this song and in our lives.  And just as the Almighty restored the nation of Israel, the Lord can and will restore your life from the brink of destruction.  Jeremiah 29 verse 11 promises us a good hope in the end. Indeed, the message of the Bible is that the Lord Yahweh first created things wonderful and perfect until sin entered the world.  Messiah came to restore all things and we await a redemption that is soon upon us.  In this we should take hope that things will be better in the end.   Things will work out for us.  We can have hope that all things will blend together for our good in the end.Therefore if things are not good now, then it's not the end!  If your situation is dire; if you are in pain; if your heart aches; then it's not the end. The Almighty promises you a good hope in the end.  Don't give up!  In English, Hope is also in acronym that says, “Hold On Pain Ends.”  Have hope like the boy in the baseball game.  The story is told of a man who approached a little league baseball game one afternoon. He asked a boy in the dugout what the score was. The boy responded, "Eighteen to nothing--we're behind."The spectator said, "I'll bet you're discouraged."  The little boy shrugged his shoulders and said, “Why should I be discouraged?  We haven't even gotten up to bat yet!"That's hope! In the Hebrew dictionary, tikvah is defined as “a cord, a rope, a line, meaning to bind.”  If things are really bad and you're given a rope you must make a choice to either tie a knot and hang on for dear life, or to tie a noose and hang yourself.  Tikvah is a rope that we can hang on to God with when things are good and bad.  It is a cord from heaven, it is a rescue line and a life preserver. When pain and hurt come your way it's easy to lose hope; to consider things worse than they really are.  However, consider Psalm 62, “Yes, my soul, finds rest in the Lord;my hope comes from him.  Truly he is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will not be shaken.  My salvation and my honor depend on the Lord; he is my mighty rock, my refuge.  Trust in him at all times, you people; pour out your hearts to him, for the Lord is our refuge.”  This must be our battle cry as we face the wars of worry, fear and doubt.Hope is what gives us strength to carry on.Tikah is that connection between the natural and the supernatural.It is a rope that ties us to heaven.Tikvah is a word used in Psalm 19 as a “line, cord, or circuit” that stretches from heaven to Earth.  Our hope is in the One who bridges heaven to Earth.Jesus is Jacob's ladder and Jesus is our hope, our tikvah.  Proverbs 30 asks us, “who has gone up to heaven and come down?Whose hands have gathered up the wind?  Who has wrapped up the waters in a cloak?  Who has established all the ends of the earth?  What is his name, and what is the name of his son?” Hope, or "tikvah" in Hebrew, is the cry of our hearts and the mission of our message. Tikvah has the power to support you on a bad day and carry you on your worst.  And, it is first found in the Bible in a most fascinating story.After Israel left Egypt and were on their way to the Promised Land they came upon the great walled city of Jericho.  Spies were sent to reconnoiter the huge town and they returned to the camp with an exhilarating story. While in Jericho the Hebrew spies hid out at the home of a prostitute named Rahab.  Rahab promised to keep them safe if they would rescue her family during the impending invasion.  As a sign of their agreement (and location of her house) Rahab would tie a red colored rope from the outside of her house. The Israelites would spare anyone in the home with the red rope. That rope was a symbol of hope!  In fact, the Hebrew word used for "rope" in this story is the Hebrew term "tikvah."  Tikvah is like a rope of hope. Hope is an expectation of something better. Despite the circumstances of the present, hope always looks towards the future.  Rahab was in a horrible situation.  Things were so bad that she was actually selling her body just to make enough money to live.  After the visit from the Hebrew spies Rahab finally had some hope for the future.  Redemption though was not instant.  She still had to wait.  Hope is a power that comforts us as we wait upon the Almighty.  Rahab was faithful to gather her family into her home when destruction came upon Jericho.  She shared her hope and rescued others because she knew there was a way out.No matter how bad your life seems right now, take hope – have tikvah that better days are ahead.  One place to gain such hope is from the Word of Lord.His Word is a message of hope for us today.     There is actually a unique connection between Tikvah and the Torah. In 2 Kings 22 a man named Tikvah has a daughter named Huldah. It is this same Huldah who becomes a prophetess and gives God's message concerning the Torah being found by King Josiah.  From this we can understand the Word of the Lord and hope are a packaged deal. The Word brings hope and strengthens tikvah.  Get into the Word and let the Word get into you until your hope is overflowing.  The opposite of tikvah is fear. If hope is the potential of good things to come, then fear is the death of better days. Fear is the absence of tikvah.Know this - just because things are horrible today doesn't mean that it will stay that way.  Tikvah gives us a hope for a better tomorrow. That's the challenge with tikvah though.  Many people do hope for a good new year or to get well soon.  And we all know that things will be great in heaven one day.  Tikvah is not a future tense word though.  Tikvah is a present tense word for today.  We have the promise of hope in a heavenly home.  We also have tikvah for the next sunrise.“For thou art my hope (tikvah), O Lord: thou art my trust,” Psalm 71:5.  Can you say this verse every morning?  Hope believes in the face of problems and pain.A person with tikvah should behave differently than one without hope.  When a person has tikvah they pray for rain and they carry an umbrella.  A believer hoping for sickness doesn't mope around telling everyone about their symptoms.   Someone with tikvah for finances blesses others and gives to the poor.  A woman with hope for a new job gets dressed up and puts out resumes without end.  A family who hopes for wholeness forgives and takes steps to move on.  Tikvah prays for the peace of Jerusalem while the world wages war.   Tikvah produces actions.  Indeed, there is a cord between tikvah, faith, and works.  Hope is the desire and belief that things will get better while faith is evidence of that belief displayed in actions. Faith is also tied to tikvah by Rabbi Sha'ul.   He wrote, “these three remain – faith, hope, and love and the greates of this is love.”Just imagine that as awesome and life changing that tikvah is, the truth of love is even greater.  (We'll discuss “ahava” or “love” in the next teaching in this series!)“What does hope do for mankind? Hope shines brightest when the hour is darkest. Hope motivates when discouragement comes. Hope energizes when the body is tired. Hope sweetens when the bitterness bites. Hope sings when all melodies are gone. Hope believes when the evidence is eliminated. Hope listens for answers when no one is talking. Hope climbs over obstacles when no one is helping. Hope endures hardship when no one is caring. Hope smiles confidently when no one is laughing. Hope reaches for answers when no one is asking. Hope presses toward victory when no one is encouraging. Hope dares to give when no one is sharing.  Hope brings the victory when no one is winning.  There is nothing to do but bury a man when his hopes are gone. Losing hope usually precedes loss of life itself. You don't need a better environment; you need more hope. It's the one thing in your life you cannot do without,” wrote John Maxwell.A number of years ago researchers performed an experiment to see the effect hope has on those undergoing hardship. Two sets of laboratory rats were placed in separate tubs of water. The researchers left one set in the water and found that within an hour they had all drowned. The other rats were periodically lifted out of the water and then returned. When that happened, the second set of rats swam for over 24 hours. Why? Not because they were given a rest, but because they suddenly had hope!  Tikvah can energize your faith because it sees the unseen.  Those animals somehow hoped that if they could stay afloat just a little longer, someone would reach down and rescue them. If hope holds such power for unthinking rodents, how much greater should is effect be on our lives.  Can you feel the tikvah of God rising up in your spirit as you read this teaching?  The Almighty wants to fill you with His tikvah and empower you towards victory.Stop seeing the glass half empty.Take your focus off your bills and bosses.  Look to Maker of heaven and earth and have tikvah.  God's word is living and effective. His word, even just the singular word tikvah, will never return unto void.  It will accomplish all that He desires in your life as you pray and believe for tikvah.  Walk in it's strength and pray tikvah over the situations in your life.  Believe for the best.  The Father has promised you a good hope in the end.The hidden Hebrew word “tikvah” is hope and so much more.  By looking past the English translation and into the ancient tongue we can know the truth better.  Consider these verses as you meditate and study the concept of “hope.”   Know that Yahweh tikvahtenu or “The Lord is our hope” and an ever present help in times of trouble. 

Over this three week series we will discover the identity of Jesus through Joseph's encounter with the angel. We will explore what it means for Jesus to be fully man, fully God and fully on purpose.
