Nachýľte uši a poďte ku mne, poslúchajte a budete žiť. (Iz 55,3) Nachýliť uši je konkrétna voľba, konkrétne konanie, za ktoré sme sami zodpovední. Je tvojou zodpovednosťou, na ktorú stranu nachýliš svoje uši. Čo si volíš počuť, čím sa napĺňaš. A nie je jedno, čo si volíš… Nachýľte uši a poďte ku mne, poslúchajte a budete žiť. Ako človek nachýli svoje uši k Bohu? Tak, že študuje Božie slovo, modlí sa a premýšľa. „Ak si to zvolíš, tak tvoja duša bude žiť,“ hovorí Boh. Treba si uvedomiť, že toto nie je voliteľný predmet v Božej škole. Je to úloha učeníka v disciplíne vyhrať nad ľahostajnosťou a lenivosťou. Nejde to samo od seba a nie je to vždy ľahké. Vždy nás niečo stojí, keď uprednostňujeme Boha. Niečo z toho je práve v slovách: Poďte i vy, ktorí nemáte peniaze! Kupujte obilie, jedzte; poďte, kupujte bez peňazí, bez platenia víno a mlieko! (Iz 55,1) Si pozvaný piť a jesť bez platenia. Keď ale nie je treba platiť, prečo to Pán nazýva nakupovaním? Kristus dal život a krv ako platbu za tvoj hriech. Dlh je zmazaný, celý účet zaplatený, aby si mohol prísť, aj keď nemáš čím platiť. Pán ale vie, že niečo ťa to predsa bude stáť. Čas na Bibliu a modlitbu si musíš vykúpiť. Inými slovami: spása je zadarmo. Prijať tento dar však našu starú prirodzenosť stojí všetko. Obrátiť sa ku Kristovi znamená, že sa odvrátiš od niečoho iného. Niečoho sa vzdávaš, keď uprednostníš čas s Bohom, čas v tichu, spoločenstvo s ostatnými veriacimi. Žijeme totiž vo svete, ktorý sa silno zameriava na svetské blaho a na to, ako sa vyhnúť ťažkostiam. Hľadať pozemské je viac a viac bežné. Sme nepokojní. Myseľ je rozpoltená, zamestnávame sa všetkým možným a nemáme čas na Bibliu a modlitbu. Pravdou je, že čas je nie problémom. Je to využívanie času. Na to, čo je pre nás dôležité, čas máme. Naša rozpoltená myseľ, ktorá sa zaoberá viditeľnými, pozemskými vecami, nemá čas na večné. Čas ti nikto nedá. Čas si musíš vykúpiť. Vždy bude niečo stáť vyvoliť si chvíľu v tichu, modlitbe alebo chvíľu s Božím slovom namiesto sedenia pred televízorom alebo inými aktivitami. … vy, ktorí nemáte peniaze! Kupujte… Väčšina ľudí sa viac zamestnáva ponukami a lákadlami tohto sveta, než tým, ako rásť v milosti a poznaní Boha. Keď je myseľ uväznená v pochybnostiach ohľadom všetkého, čo sa nám zdá, že nám chýba, tak za chvíľu v nás nie je miesto pre nič iné, len pre závisť a sklamanie. Keď Boh hovorí: „Nachýľte uši a poďte ku mne,“ nepozýva k náboženskej snahe, kde sa máš trápiť, potiť a bojovať, aby si si zaslúžil Boží dar. Nič z toho, čo ti Boh dáva, si nezaslúžiš. Začína to na opačnom konci. Začína to tým, že nachýliš svoje uši k Bohu a budeš počuť evanjelium o Božom Synovi. On prišiel, aby si mal podiel na večnom živote, ktorý dokáže nasýtiť najhlbšie potreby duše. Nestane sa to ale samo od seba. Nie je to automatické… Musíš si to vyvoliť. Je dôležité uvedomiť si, že keď Boh hovorí: „Nachýľte uši a poďte ku mne,“ nie je to príkaz, ale ponuka, v ktorej ti chce otvoriť brány do zasľúbení, ktoré majú moc zmeniť tvoj život. Ty si ale volíš, čomu budeš načúvať, čím sa budeš napĺňať, čo je pre teba dôležité. Jedného dňa to budeš ty, kto bude žať dôsledky. Nachýľte uši a poďte ku mne… Týmto Pán hovorí: „Máš možnosť otvoriť sa Slovu, ktoré má moc zmeniť tvoj život.“ Božie slovo je živé, ostrejšie než dvojsečný meč. Má moc odhaliť náš hriech a nedostatky, ale má tiež moc uzdraviť a konať v živote nové veci. Aké rozhodujúce je, čím sa napĺňame, vyjadruje Ježiš takto: „Dobrý človek vynáša dobré z dobrého pokladu svojho srdca a zlý človek vynáša zlé zo zlého. Lebo z plnosti srdca hovoria jeho ústa.“ (Lk 6,45) V praxi to znamená, že je dôležité, čím si budeme napĺňať srdce. Počujte Ježišove slová: „Nieto tajné, čo by sa nestalo zjavné; a nieto skryté, čo by sa nevyzvedelo a nevyšlo najavo. Hľaďte teda, ako počúvate. Lebo tomu, kto má, bude dané, tomu však, kto nemá, bude odňaté aj to, o čom si myslí, že má.“ (Lk 8,17-18) „Hľaďte teda, ako počúvate,“ hovorí Ježiš. A Ježiš vie, čo hovorí. Hovorí v súvise so svojím Otcom, ktorý hovorí: „Nachýľte uši a poďte ku mne, poslúchajte a budete žiť.“ Tak daj prioritu načúvaniu Bohu! Curt Westman

In der letzten Folge in dieser Woche beim "Blick in die Bibel" spricht Domkapitular Prof. Dr. Christoph Ohly zunächst ganz persönlich über sein Leben als Priester. Er erzählt, warum für ihn Wochenende und Sonntag nicht dasselbe sind, wie er freie Stunden mit Musik, Sport, Lesen oder Museumsbesuchen verbringt und weshalb ihm bewusst Zeiten der Ruhe wichtig sind.Anschließend geht es um das Evangelium vom zwölfjährigen Jesus im Tempel. Prof. Ohly erklärt, dass Jesus mit seiner Antwort an Maria und Josef auf seine besondere Verbindung zu Gott hinweist. Zum Gedenktag des Unbefleckten Herzens Mariens deutet er das Herz als Symbol für den ganzen Menschen. Maria bewahrt die Erfahrungen mit Jesus in ihrem Herzen und wird so zum Vorbild des Glaubens. Seine zentrale Botschaft: Wer sich von Gott berühren lässt, kann diese Liebe und Fürsorge an andere weitergeben. Eine Folge voller persönlicher Einblicke und verständlicher Glaubensimpulse, die bekannte Bibelworte in einem neuen Licht erscheinen lässt.Aus dem Lukasevangelium:Die Eltern Jesu gingen jedes Jahr zum Paschafest nach Jerusalem. Als er zwölf Jahre alt geworden war, zogen sie wieder hinauf, wie es dem Festbrauch entsprach. Nachdem die Festtage zu Ende waren, machten sie sich auf den Heimweg. Der Knabe Jesus aber blieb in Jerusalem, ohne dass seine Eltern es merkten. Sie meinten, er sei in der Pilgergruppe, und reisten eine Tagesstrecke weit; dann suchten sie ihn bei den Verwandten und Bekannten. Als sie ihn nicht fanden, kehrten sie nach Jerusalem zurück und suchten nach ihm. Da geschah es, nach drei Tagen fanden sie ihn im Tempel; er saß mitten unter den Lehrern, hörte ihnen zu und stellte Fragen. Alle, die ihn hörten, waren erstaunt über sein Verständnis und über seine Antworten. Als seine Eltern ihn sahen, waren sie voll Staunen und seine Mutter sagte zu ihm: Kind, warum hast du uns das angetan? Siehe, dein Vater und ich haben dich mit Schmerzen gesucht. Da sagte er zu ihnen: Warum habt ihr mich gesucht? Wusstet ihr nicht, dass ich in dem sein muss, was meinem Vater gehört? Doch sie verstanden das Wort nicht, das er zu ihnen gesagt hatte. Dann kehrte er mit ihnen nach Nazaret zurück und war ihnen gehorsam. (Lk 2,41-51a)(© Ständige Kommission für die Herausgabe der gemeinsamen liturgischen Bücher im deutschen Sprachgebiet)

In this study, we now meet a man by the name of Simeon who was promised by God that he would not die until he had seen the Lord's Messiah, that is, Jesus as a baby. The Holy Spirit was upon him. This man also blessed God with a song.His song revealed that this child, Jesus, the Lord's Messiah, would be a light for revelation to the Gentiles and for the glory of God's people Israel. Our Lord is the focus of his song. Does your song focus on and feature the Lord Jesus preeminently? It blesses God who is our audience.Not only Simeon but also Anna, a widow, came into the temple and giving thanks to God, began speaking to all those around her about this Jesus.Let's turn to Lk.2:25 with Dr. Mitchell on the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast.

Thursday, 4 June 2026   So the last will be first, and the first last. For many are called, but few chosen.” Matthew 20:16   “Thus, they will be the last, first, and the first, last. Many, then, they are called; few, also, selected.” (CG)   In the previous verse, Jesus finished His parable concerning the workers in the vineyard. His words now sum up the overall thought. They are words that go back to Matthew 19:30, and which closed out that chapter. He says, “Thus, they will be the last, first, and the first, last.”   In Matthew 19:30, it said, “Many, also, they will be: first, last, and last, first.” We can see that Jesus specifically built this parable around that thought to explain what prompted that statement in the first place. That was based on Peter's words. There, it said, “Then answering, Peter, he said to Him, ‘You behold! We, we left all, and we followed You! What hence it will be to us?'”   Only by following the progression of the narrative can the explanation for the parable be properly understood. Various views have been proposed as to Jesus' intent. Some find the laborers to indicate the beginning of the gospel, meaning the selection of Jesus' disciples at the outset of His ministry. That is then followed by those who labor throughout the church age. Those coming at the end of the age would be those who were hired at the eleventh hour.   Others also see it as the church age, but the pay is rewards for the followers, suggesting a connection to 1 Corinthians 3 and 2 Corinthians 5, meaning the judgment seat of Christ. These and other views don't look back to what precipitated Peter's question to Jesus.   Jesus counseled the rich young ruler who was trying to earn his way to perpetual life. He left sad because he realized he could not do so through law observance. That is when Jesus brought in the difficulty of entering the kingdom with the example of the camel going through the eye of a needle. The apostles were floored, asking who could be saved.   Jesus told them that with man, it is impossible, but with God, all things are possible. This is what brought about Peter's question to Jesus. As such, the vineyard is what is spoken of throughout the Old Testament and into the New. It is highlighted in Isaiah and summed up in Jesus' words of Matthew 21:40, 41 –   “Therefore, when the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those vinedressers? 41 They said to Him, ‘He will destroy those wicked men miserably, and lease his vineyard to other vinedressers who will render to him the fruits in their seasons.'”   The vineyard is the economy where God is dealing with man in order to bring about a result. Israel was chosen to bring about that result, but they failed to understand that, despite the law, it was not law observance that would bring them restoration with God. This is what Jesus demonstrated in His words with the young ruler.   The laborers who were hired early were those in this vineyard who labored for God, be it Moses, Isaiah, Amos, etc. John the Baptist was the last of these. They were promised a certain wage and went into the field. At the time of Jesus, laborers were called to go into the field, starting with the disciples. As noted in the Matthew 20:8 commentary –   “Those who came last are to be paid first. It seems contradictory to the way one would normally think, but it is a demonstration to all concerning grace. Grace is getting what one does not deserve. The housemaster wants all of the laborers to see that he will treat the last with care and respect, despite their being late into the field.”   The pay is not the issue. It is the grace of what is received that is being conveyed. Those who worked in the field during the heat of the day were those who labored under the law. Their wages were set based on their state under the law. At the end of the day, the laborers who came last were given grace in what they received.   Israel could say, “We labored for all that time under the law, and yet, you are giving those who came later what we had to work for.” That thought is well expressed in Jesus' words about John –   “Assuredly, I say to you, among those born of women there has not risen one greater than John the Baptist; but he who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.” Matthew 11:11   Jesus, using a harvest of grain instead of labor in the vineyard, essentially explains the parable in John 4 –   “Do you not say, ‘There are still four months and then comes the harvest'? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are already white for harvest! 36 And he who reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit for eternal life, that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together. 37 For in this the saying is true: ‘One sows and another reaps.' 38 I sent you to reap that for which you have not labored; others have labored, and you have entered into their labors.” John 4:35-38   Understanding this, Jesus completes this thought saying, “Many, then, they are called; few, also, selected.”   The meaning is that there were people called to work in the field for eons, laboring until the time of the kingdom, Moses, for example. However, they were not selected for that dispensation. They were of the dispensation of law. John, despite being the greatest of all under the law, was not selected for the dispensation of grace. He was called to service but died before it was ushered in.   One cannot merit grace. Israel entered into the labor, the time of grace came, and eventually the vineyard was taken from them and given to others to tend to. God is doing something in the world (expressed by the vineyard), many are called to tend to it, but only when Jesus came, fulfilled the law, and allowed grace to be imparted can people be selected to truly receive what God has promised. That is seen in the final word of the verse, a new word, eklektós, selected.   HELPS Word Studies says, “Typically, eklektós (‘select, chosen') describes people who choose to follow the Lord, i.e. become God's choice by freely receiving faith (pístis) from Him. Accordingly, these two terms are directly connected (see Tit 1:1; Lk 18:7,8).”   Entering the kingdom only comes through faith, and it only comes apart from the law, even if those under the law have faith. For those of Israel who are selected for the kingdom Jesus is describing in the parable, it is (just like Gentiles) only for those who have faith since Christ's fulfillment of the law, coming to Him by faith.   Life application: Laboring for something that is already earned is a waste of time. If you are caught up in adherence to the Law of Moses and expect to receive God's favor, you will be sorely disappointed when you find yourself excluded from what God has offered those who are willing to come to Him by faith alone.   Lord God, we are lost sinners. You have done all that is necessary to reconcile us to Yourself. Why would we think we could do better than that? May we never presume to do so, but to trust wholly in the shed blood of Jesus Christ for our reconciliation with You. Amen.

#row-732589341 > .col > .col-inner { background-color: rgb(215, 215, 215); } Beschreibung Kennt ihr die Momente, wo man sich wie ein Kind fühlt, begeistert, sorglos, mit Leichtigkeit? In den Evangelien wird diese Frage aus der Perspektive Jesu aufgegriffen! Es ist die Geschichte vom Rangstreit der Jünger. Jesus erkennt, dass dahinter bei ihnen die tiefere Frage nach Größe, Bedeutung und Zugehörigkeit steht. Jesus verurteilt dieses Bedürfnis nicht, zeigt aber, dass es nicht durch Leistung, sozialen Status oder Rang erfüllt wird. Er zeigt, dass im Reich Gottes unsere Zugehörigkeit, Größe und Bedeutung durch unsere Identität als Kind Gottes kommt. Doch wie werde ich ein Kind Gottes? Durch das, was Jesus für uns getan hat, indem Er uns erlöste und annahm. Jesus demonstriert das, indem er Kinder in Seine Arme nahm und zeigte: “Du bist mir wichtig!” Kinder haben kein Problem, Liebe und Zuneigung anzunehmen. Werde wieder wie ein Kind und sage einfach Ja zu Jesu Liebe! Es gibt nur eine ‘Vorbedingung’: Demütige dich, dann wirst du erleben: Dein himmlischer Vater wird dich erhöhen! Er versorgt dich und tritt für dich ein, damit du siegreich überwinden kannst!: Mt. 18, 1-5 | Lk. 9, 46-48 | Mk. 9,33-37 | Joh. 1, 12 | 1.Petr.5,6-7 #gap-995087438 { padding-top: 15px; } Predigtskript #gap-1722258456 { padding-top: 50px; } zurück zu Predigten

JÚN Heslo mesiaca: Pamätajte na väzňov, akoby ste boli s nimi uväznení, pamätajte i na trpiacich, veď aj vy sami ste v tele! Hebrejom 13,3 Hebrejom 11,23-31 23 Vo viere ukrývali rodičia Mojžiša tri mesiace po jeho narodení, lebo videli, že dieťa je krásne, a nebáli sa kráľovho rozkazu. 24 Keď Mojžiš dospel, vo viere odoprel volať sa synom faraónovej dcéry. 25 Radšej si zvolil trpieť s Božím ľudom, než mať dočasné potešenie z hriechu, 26 a Kristovu potupu pokladal za väčšie bohatstvo ako poklady Egypta. Mal totiž na zreteli budúcu odmenu. 27 Vo viere opustil Egypt a nezľakol sa kráľovho hnevu, ale vydržal, akoby videl Neviditeľného. 28 Vo viere slávil Paschu a pokropil dvere krvou baránka, aby sa zhubca nedotkol prvorodených. 29 Vo viere prešli Červeným morom ako po suchej zemi, kým Egypťania, len čo sa o to pokúsili, boli pohltení vlnami. 30 Pre vieru padli múry Jericha, keď ich obchádzali sedem dní. 31 Pre vieru neviestka Ráchab nezahynula s neveriacimi, lebo v pokoji prijala vyzvedačov. Lekár. Zvláštne! Kto veril, dosiahol úspech. Na prvý pohľad to vyzerá tak, že naším cieľom by malo byť dosiahnutie veľkej viery. Je viac biblických textov, ktoré vieru zdôrazňujú. Napríklad: „…majte vieru Božiu“ (Mk 11,22), „choď, tvoja viera ťa zachránila“ (Lk 7,50) a podobne. – – Môže sa stať, že sa ti v živote prihodí niečo zlé, nejaký úraz (neprajem nikomu). A vtedy pribehne k tebe niekto a povie: „Nebojte sa, som obuvník, ja vám pomôžem!“ Vzápätí pribehne niekto druhý a povie: „Ja som lekár, nehýbte sa, vyšetrím vás!“ Na koho sa obrátiš? Keď sa po čase uzdravíš, určite sa nebudeš chváliť: moja viera ma zachránila, ale povieš: ten lekár ma zachránil. Je to preto, že vieš, poznáš, máš skúsenosti s daným lekárom. – – Poznáš dôverne Pána Boha? Tak, ako Mojžišovi rodičia, Mojžiš, izraelský národ, či Rachab? Viera rastie poznaním Pána Ježiša. Máme úžasné Božie slovo – z neho spoznávajme Pána Ježiša a nechajme svoju vieru rásť skúsenosťami! Viera je nástroj môjho poznávania Pána Ježiša. To prajem každému – poznať vzájomnú lásku medzi nami a naším Záchrancom – Lekárom. Modlitba: Bože, ďakujem Ti za Pána Ježiša, ktorý v nás buduje vieru a napĺňa ju v uzdraveniach! Odpusť, že často od Teba nedokážem prijať nadprirodzené veci! Prenikaj ma Kristovým Duchom a dávaj mi Tvoju vieru, nech Ťa poznávam stále viac, a tým aj viac ľudí vediem k Tebe! Amen. Pieseň: ES 197 Autor: Dušan Roháček Dúfam v Boha, ktorého slovo chválim, v Hospodina, ktorého slovo chválim. Žalm 56,11 To Slovo sa stalo telom a prebývalo medzi nami a my sme videli Jeho slávu, slávu, akú má od Otca jednorodený Syn, plný milosti a pravdy. Ján 1,14 2.Mojžišova 3,13-20 •  Modlíme sa za: Sazdice (HoS) Otázky na rozjímanie: Ako dnes vnímam, že viera nie je len o „množstve“ viery, ale o poznaní Pána Ježiša — kde v mojom živote potrebujem hlbšie spoznať Ležiara, aby moja viera rástla? Kde som dnes pred výberom ako Mojžiš: či si vybrať dočasné potešenie z hriechu alebo trpieť s Božím ľudom a pokladať Kristovu potupu za väčšie bohatstvo než svetové poklady? Ako dnes môžem byť ako Ráchab — prijať v pokoji Božích poslov (Slovo, svedectvo, službu) a poskytnúť im útočisko, aj keď by to mohlo byť pre mňa nebezpečné alebo nepopulárne? Aplikácia do života: V tomto týždni vyhraďte 10 minút denne na čítanie jedného verša z Hebrejom 11 a modlitebnú otočku: „Pán Ježiš, uč ma Ťa poznať cez tento príklad viery.“ Po každom čítaní si zapíšte jednu konkrétnu myšlienku alebo citát, ktorý vás zasiahol, a jeden malý krok, ktorý môžete urobiť (napr. kontaktovať človeka v núdzi, odpustiť, pozvať niekoho na modlitbu) v dôvere, že Boh vie a chce konať skrze vás. Na konci týždňa si zhrňte, čo sa vám podarilo a ako sa mení vaše vnímanie viery — nie ako „vlastná sila“, ale ako dôvera v Lekára, ktorý uzdravuje a spásu daruje. Dnes som vďačný za tieto 3 veci: _________________________________ _________________________________ _________________________________ Viac o vďačnosti, čo to je, prečo je dôležité byť vďačný, ako praktizovať vďačnosť nájdeš na blogu

Godly and covenantal relationships are powerful. Relationships are also messy but an essential part of our life. In fact, we were created for relationships with God and others. The enemy will stop at nothing to turn us against God, brother against brother,  and child against parents, because he knows a kingdom, a family divided can not stand(Mk 3;@5; Lk 11:17). The Bible tells us to expect chaos and disunity, but that a friend loves at all times(Prov 17:17)   Today on the podcast Amie and I discuss how we navigate chaos in relationships. Plus, I share 5 Key aspects of Healthy Relationships. When chaos is surrounding us on all sides, we must choose to love deeply and stay in unity.(1 Peter 4:8)   You can connect with Amie on her website: https://rawandrealministries.com/   You can connect with me or order my books on my website here: https://debbiekitterman.com/ click on the store tab and choose the book(s) you would like to view under the book tab.   OR on Amazon here using my affiliate links by Checking out my Amazon Store front here: D2H Podcast Books  https://amzn.to/4wnk96D Podcast Equipment https://amzn.to/4u8PloC  I even have other categories for my sourdough, chickens, my favorite things, and more…. check my entire storefront out here: https://a.co/d/0fSFMjq0

Faith is a very personal, very particular, and very intimate relationship that God wants with each of us. And it makes all the difference, not because it removes all difficulties, but because it shapes the way we see those difficulties and the way we walk into them. When I find myself short on patience, anxious, angry, or eager to judge, I ask myself: "Whose voice have you been listening to lately, the serpent's or the Lord's? What's been shaping your heart: prayer, scripture, and the Liturgy; or the news and internet, my ego or insecurities?". Who we listen to shapes how we see other people, the world around us, the events of our lives — even God Himself.   Readings at this Mass: Acts 2:14, 22–33 | 1 Pt 1:17–21 | Lk 24:13–35

Divorce and remarriage is one of the most complicated and controversial subjects in the Bible. Given the serious nature of this subject, it is surprising that Jesus Christ and the Apostle Paul are the only two who addressed divorce and remarriage in the New Testament and what they said is limited to the Synoptic Gospels (cf. Mt. 5:31-32; 19:3-9; Mk. 10:2-12; Lk. 16:18) and the Pauline Epistles (cf. Rom. 7:1-4; 1 Cor. 7:10-16, 39). Any conclusions about divorce and remarriage must be derived by harmonizing these six passages along with Genesis 2:24, Jeremiah 3:8 and Malachi 2:16. The basic point Jesus made the first time He referenced divorce and remarriage was getting divorced and remarried except in the case of adultery is tantamount to adultery.

What binds us together? – Philippians 1:3-8 Answer = We are partners in the Gospel and fellow partakers of grace! Paul thanks God every time he thinks of the Philippians: Reason #1 - _______________________vv4-5 Reason #2 - _________________________v6 Paul loves the Philippians – vv7-8 -How does us all being sinners saved by God's grace create mutual affection and purpose? -How are AGC members involved in the advancement of the Gospel? How can we encourage each other in our Gospel ministries? -What unique challenges face those serving in cross-cultural ministry? How can we partner with them and encourage them? -What biblical commitments should members have for one another? Do you love your fellow church members? How can you grow in that love? -How does God's promise to "Finish what He starts" comfort you?

Don't convolute or change God's Word on marriage and divorce to fit what you desire...likely leading to a life lived in sin. Take Him at His Word and build a strong marriage that reflects Christ and His Bride, The Church. Share. Make it a great day in the Love & Lordship of Christ (Mt 19:3-9; Mk 10:11-12; Lk 16:18)!

APR. 1, 2026P.R.A.Y. (Pause, Reverence, Ask, Yield)"We will give ourselves continually to prayer." Ac 6:4 NKJVIn her book 30 Days to a Stronger, More Confident You, author Deborah Smith Pegues uses the word "pray" as an acronym: "Pause. I stop all activity and focus completely on God. Worship is total preoccupation...The greatest honor and respect we can give to anyone is our undivided attention…Reverence. I express my admiration for all His attributes...At this point, distractions start to pop up like dandelions...I will suddenly remember a task I need to put on my to-do list. I have learned to jot down the task in my journal and ignore the other issues for what they are-mere distractions that can be dealt with later. I have also learned that praying audibly helps to minimize wandering thoughts…Ask. I ask for forgiveness for my sins, making every effort to be specific. I pray for the power to live a Christian life and ask God to give me a passion for His Word and for prayer. I ask for His will to be done in every aspect of my life: spiritually, physically, financially, relationally, vocationally, and emotionally... Yield. I must subordinate my requests to God's sovereign will, trusting that He knows what is best. I strive to maintain a 'nevertheless' attitude. Therefore, I am careful to conclude my prayer by saying, 'Nevertheless, not my will, Lord, but Yours be done' [see Lk 22-42]...The old adage that it is not what you know but whom you know that gives you the advantage in a situation is true-especially from a spiritual perspective. When we have a relationship with God, we understand that He is sufficient to handle any demand placed upon us."P.R.A.Y.

Happy Resurrection Sunday - Christ is risen! He is risen, indeed! Today's question is "Why do you believe He is risen?" Pastor starts today's class with a personal testimony in which the Bible changed the direction of his life at the age of 15. Christianity stands or falls on the resurrection of Christ.  1 Corinthians 15:14 "And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith." Pastor shares the Evidence Trail of Jesus' Resurrection on the bases of writings from believers, unbelievers, recorded data, and old and new studies. The Evidence Trail will encourage believers and will challenge those who are skeptics. 1. Resurrection was a scandalous message in the ancient world.  a. The CROSS was foolishness (1 Cor 1:18,23) Sources beyond the Bible record Christ's crucifixion - this was a scandalous way to die. If it was made up they would have chosen a more honorable way to die for Jesus. b. The CROSS as stumbling block (1 Cor 1:23) yet many gave their lives for faith in Christ c. The RESURRECTION story was nonsense (Lk 23:11) yet they proclaimed the truth of His resurrection Painful Honesty  a. All 4 gospels declare that women were the first eyewitnesses to Jesus' resurrection. We nowadays have no problem with this. But in the ancient Middle East and the ancient mediterranean world, people of that time were skeptical about anything told by woman. Example - Women could not testify in court trials. In that day women were considered untrustworthy. Yet the writers of the Bible honestly reported the truth saying that women were first irregardless of perceived credibility. (Mt 28:1ff; Mk 16:18, Lk 24:1ff; Jn 20:1ff) b.  Gospel "heroes" were flawed (Mt 26:60ff; Lk 22:54ff; Jn 7:5; Jn20:25ff)  The writers of the New Testament told of their flaws and failures and did not hide the truth of their actions. They didn't "clean up" the stories, instead they boldly told the truth in painful honesty. Strategic Locale a, Jerusalem as the center of Judaism b. Unsilent witnesses of the empty tomb - even the enemies of Jesus admitted the tomb of Jesus was empty.  Multiple Witnesses a. Jesus' chosen Apostles - boldly shared the story of Jesus' resurrection b. Significant doubters - Jesus' brother James, for example, did not believe Jesus was who He said He was, but after the resurrection James did believe and was later martyred for His faith in Jesus. (1 Cor 15:7-10) c. 500 eyewitnesses (1 Cor 15:6) d. Vocal opponents against Jesus freely conceded that Jesus did amazing things, was crucified by Pontius Pilote, that many believed He rose from the grave, and that the message was spread throughout the ancient world. Sacrificial lives  a. Being a believer in that day was not the popular thing, as many of those ancient early believers suffered heinous deaths and yet, were unwilling to change their minds and recant and willingly died for their faith in Jesus.  They died for what they knew as truth (as one would not die for a lie.) Early documentation a. Unparalleled Gospel accounts - many copies discovered - from across the ancient world b. Early New Testament sources - the evidence shows believers and unbelievers agreeing that copies were written during the lifetimes of eye witnesses.  c. Non-Christian writings (Tacitus, Suetonius, et al) Roman officials concede the fundamentals of the Christian faith. People did believe Jesus was raised from the grave.  d. Jewish rabbinic sources (Sanhedrin 43a) Shocking Conclusion a. Those living in the year of Jesus' death and into the 30s, 40s, 50s, and 60's of the first century, boldly proclaimed Jesus' death, deity and resurrection. b. The New Testament authors and the early believers, both testified to the Old Testament pointing to Jesus and that He fulfilled what was foretold about a Savior. c. Clear declaration in the New Testament that Jesus is none other than the Living God come to earth.  The Evidence Trail gives us strong, rational, historical, biblical, and literal evidence for the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. Let us give thanks for the evidence and be prepared to share it! If you are not a believer, check out this evidence and we encourage you to pick up a Bible.

Each of the Great Feasts of the Church is followed by a commemoration of some holy one who figures in the events of the Feast. So, today we commemorate the Holy Archangel Gabriel, who brought the glad news of the conception of Christ to Mary, the Theotokos. The Prologue gives the following teaching:   "The herald of the incarnation of the Son of God, he is one of the seven great angels who stand before the throne of God. He revealed to Zacharias the birth of the Forerunner, and said of himself: 'I am Gabriel that stand in the presence of God' (Lk. 1:19). His name, Gabriel, signifies 'man of God'. Speaking about the Annunciation, the holy Fathers comment that an angel with such a name was sent to signify who He was, and of what nature He was, who would be born of the most pure Virgin. He would be the Man of God, the Man-God, the strong and mighty God. Others have found that it was this same Gabriel who announced the conception of the Virgin Mary to Joachim and Anna, and that it was he who taught Moses in the wilderness to write the Book of Genesis. The holy Fathers consider that Gabriel belongs to the foremost and highest order of the heavenly powers, the seraphim, since the seraphim stand closest to God. And so he is one of the seven seraphim closest to God. The names of these seven are: Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, Uriel, Selathiel, Jegudiel and Barachiel. Some would add Jeremiel to this number. Each has his own particular service, but all are equal in honour. Why did God not send Michael? For the reason that Michael's service is the suppression of the enemies of God's truth, while Gabriel's is the annunciation of the salvation of the human race."

 12:13-25 God reverses people's fortunes (I Sam.2:1-10; Ps. 113:5-8) and does so in the life and death of Jesus (Luke 1:46-56).  Job has stressed the sovereignty of God in bringing disaster upon the greatest of men. But the sovereign one stepped into history in the person of Jesus and man have insulted, rejected, and murdered the King and the LORD.   12:13 All these terms for wisdom, strength, counsel, and power are used of the ideal Messianic ruler from the stem of Jesse in Isa. 11:2. Isaiah 11:1-5 paints a beautiful picture of the ruler from David's line who was to come.  12:14 The word for rebuilt in the LXX is also used in John 2:20. The context is that Jesus prophesied of His resurrection (John 2:19-22). There what Jesus rebuilds cannot be destroyed.  12:14 Jesus opens a door that cannot be shut and shuts a door that cannot be open (Rev. 3:7). The same terms in the LXX of Job 12:14 are used in Rev. 3:7. 12:17-21 Mary's prayer in Luke 1 shows that in the very act of God sending Jesus into the world He “brought down rulers from their thrones, and He has exalted those who were humble” (Luke 1:52). 12:19 The word used for captives in the LXX, priests are led away captive, is used of those that Jesus set free in Luke 4:18. By enduring the pain and anguish of the cross Jesus set free the captives.  12:20 Jesus was silent before Pilate (Matt. 27:12-14; Mk. 15:4-5; Jn. 19:9-10) and Herod (Lk. 23:9). The most eloquent of men was speechless.  12:22 As God brings darkness out of light so at the cross, darkness engulfed the land in the brightest moments of the day (Matt. 27:45; Mk. 15:33; Lk.23:44-45). 12:22 These two terms used for the darkness and deep darkness here were used in 10:21-22 to describe the darkness of Sheol. It is Jesus through His resurrection who gives the ultimate victory over Sheol (Acts 2:27-31). 12:25 While He is made to grope in the darkness, through these events of His death and resurrection, the light of the world (John 1:4; 8:12) transfers us from the kingdom of darkness to light (Col. 1:12-14). Think of how Christ, the King of all Kings and Lord of all Lords (Rev. 19:16), experienced Job 12, especially vs. 17-21, in the events surrounding the cross. Job complained that God humbles the great, wise, and noble and robs them of all their dignity. In Jesus God became a man and humbles Himself (Phil. 2:7-8) to become a subject of mockery and reproach upon the cross (Matt. 27:38-44; Mk. 15:27-32; Lk. 23:35-39). They truly poured contempt on Him He was stripped and goes barefooted (I assume) to the cross. By experiencing the cross, Jesus gives a whole new meaning to suffering and shame (II Cor. 8:9; Heb. 12:1-2). He makes it possible for the captives to be set free from their prisons (Luke 4:18).In the cross God utterly confounds human wisdom- (I Cor. 1:18-2:5). 

Garth Heckman The David Alliance TDAgiantSlayer@Gmail.com      Lk. 19:10 For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”   Now you might find yourself - like many of us at times - asking… God what do you want from my life? What is my life about? What should I be doing with my life? I think this verse if pretty clear - it answers those questions. I have found personally and in many conversations that the minute details I want are typically found when I obey the big details. I know I am to seek and save the lost for Jesus - and when I major on the majors - the minors seem to fill themselves in. And yes, your job, who you marry, where you move, should you buy a house, etc… those are actually minors for the most part… if you put Luke 19:10 as a priority.  Yes, who you marry is a big decision if you don't have Luke 19:10 in place - but if you do… well it takes care of itself. Think about it!    Christians have wrestled with this question for centuries. Scripture actually gives a very clear pattern. When you look across the Bible, **three primary pathways consistently reveal God's will**.   ---   ## 1. God's Word (Scripture)
