The sermon for the Wednesday of Oculi by Pastor Atkinson.

The Scriptures talk about life as consisting in Two Ways - the Way of Life and the Way of Death. We are brought into the Way of Life by Christ in baptism, and He keeps us solid and secure in that Way by His grace. Psalm 125 is a pray that we would say in that way and never fall away or into hypocrisy.

Paul teaches us that we can be deceived by empty words. If we call ourselves Christian when we are partnered with the sons of disobedience, we are denying the faith. This is Rev. Tyrel Bramwell's sermon on Ephesians 5:1-9 for Oculi, 2025. Watch the sermon prep Bible study: https://youtube.com/live/5OJA4WynW9M

There are two ways of looking at the Christian life. One is to make it like a hobby, a trinket, a small compartment which fits and molds to the greater part of your life. The other is to see the Christian faith as making you a new person, who is now separate from the life you had before. St. Paul tells us about the latter in Ephesians 5.

Textus: 1Kir 19,1-8Amikor Aháb elmondta Jezábelnek mindazt, amit Illés tett, és hogy a prófétákat megölte karddal,Jezábel követet küldött Illéshez ezzel az üzenettel: Úgy bánjanak velem az istenek most és ezután is, hogy holnap ilyenkorra azt teszem veled, ami azokkal történt! Illés megijedt, felkerekedett és ment, hogy mentse az életét, és elérkezett a júdai Beérsebába. Legényét ott hagyta, ő pedig elment a pusztába egynapi járóföldre. Odaért egy rekettyebokorhoz, és leült alá. Azt kívánta, bárcsak meghalna, és így szólt: Elég most már, Uram! Vedd el az életemet, mert nem vagyok jobb elődeimnél!Jób 7,15-16 Azután lefeküdt, és elaludt a rekettyebokor alatt. De egyszer csak egy angyal érintette meg, és ezt mondta neki: Kelj föl, egyél! Amikor föltekintett, látta, hogy a fejénél ott van egy forró kövön sült lángos és egy korsó víz. Evett, ivott, majd újra lefeküdt. Az Úr angyala másodszor is visszatért, megérintette, és ezt mondta: Kelj föl, egyél, mert erőd felett való út áll előtted! Ő fölkelt, evett és ivott, majd annak az ételnek az erejével ment negyven nap és negyven éjjel az Isten hegyéig, a Hórebig.

Проповедь пастора Евгения Раскатова в 3-е воскресенье Великого Поста (Oculi) на чтение Лк. 11:14-2814 Однажды изгнал Он беса, который был нем; и когда бес вышел, немой стал говорить; и народ удивился. 15 Некоторые же из них говорили: Он изгоняет бесов силою веельзевула, князя бесовского. 16 А другие, искушая, требовали от Него знамения с неба. 17 Но Он, зная помышления их, сказал им: всякое царство, разделившееся само в себе, опустеет, и дом, разделившийся сам в себе, падёт; 18 если же и сатана разделится сам в себе, то как устоит царство его? а вы говорите, что Я силою веельзевула изгоняю бесов; 19 и если Я силою веельзевула изгоняю бесов, то сыновья ваши чьею силою изгоняют их? Посему они будут вам судьями. 20 Если же Я перстом Божиим изгоняю бесов, то, конечно, достигло до вас Царствие Божие. 21 Когда сильный с оружием охраняет свой дом, тогда в безопасности его имение; 22 когда же сильнейший его нападёт на него и победит его, тогда возьмёт всё оружие его, на которое он надеялся, и разделит похищенное у него. 23 Кто не со Мною, тот против Меня; и кто не собирает со Мною, тот расточает. 24 Когда нечистый дух выйдет из человека, то ходит по безводным местам, ища покоя, и, не находя, говорит: «возвращусь в дом мой, откуда вышел»; 25 и, придя, находит его выметенным и убранным; 26 тогда идёт и берёт с собою семь других духов, злейших себя, и, войдя, живут там, — и бывает для человека того последнее хуже первого. 27 Когда же Он говорил это, одна женщина, возвысив голос из народа, сказала Ему: блаженно чрево, носившее Тебя, и сосцы, Тебя питавшие! 28 А Он сказал: блаженны слышащие слово Божие и соблюдающие его.

Ты пришёл погубить нас; знаю Тебя, кто Ты, Святой Божий. 35 Иисус запретил ему, сказав: замолчи и выйди из него. И бес, повергнув его посреди синагоги, вышел из него, нимало не повредив ему. 36 И напал на всех ужас, и рассуждали между собою: что это значит, что Он со властью и силою повелевает нечистым духам, и они выходят? 37 И разнёсся слух о Нём по всем окрестным местам.

My Story   Talk 10   Brasenose College, Oxford, 1959-1962   Welcome to Talk 10 in our series where I'm reflecting on God's goodness to me throughout my life. Today we begin on the years that I spent at Oxford between 1959 and 1962.   For me, life at Brasenose College began on Thursday, 8th October 1959, exactly one month after I had been baptised in the Holy Spirit. I travelled there by car with Eileen and my parents, who, after helping me unpack and settle into my room at the top of staircase 11, prayed with me before returning home. This was the beginning of an entirely new phase in my life. It was the first time that I was living away from home. I would be making new friends and be challenged by new ideas.   But there are some things which remain constant in our lives no matter what else may change. I knew that my parents loved me. I knew that Eileen loved me, and that I loved her. And I knew that God had a purpose for my life and that I was now at Brasenose as part of that overall plan. So I had confidence that all would be well.   The fact that I would now be reading PPE (Philosophy, Politics, and Economics) did not faze me, even though I had never studied any of those subjects before. My original purpose in accepting the place I had been offered had been to widen my sphere of knowledge before eventually concentrating on theology in order to prepare for the ministry.   And PPE would certainly do that. But there was far more to being at Oxford than the course I would be studying. There was the social and recreational life which I greatly enjoyed. And it was a great opportunity to interact with people of all faiths and none and to share my faith with them. Opportunity, too, to tell other Christians about the baptism in the Holy Spirit, and to meet other Pentecostal students and spend time in prayer with them for the supernatural gifts of the Spirit. And it was also a time when my relationship with Eileen would be strengthened even though we would be apart for weeks on end.   As I can't cover that in just one talk, today will be aboutlife at Brasenose, its domestic arrangements, its social life and sporting activities, and the academic programme and its challenge to my faith.   Next time I'll share in more detail about my spiritual experience including how the Lord led me into leading others into the Baptism in the Spirit, how I began to exercise spiritual gifts, and how we began the Students' Pentecostal Fellowship. And later I'll tell you about my developing relationship with Eileen which led to our marriage immediately after I had graduated and how I ultimately decided not to go to Bible College as originally planned, but to accept the pastorate of the Assemblies of God Church in Colchester.     Life at Brasenose When I arrived at Brasenose in October 1959 it was almost three years since I had been there previously in November 1956 when I had taken the scholarship examination. Back then I had never seen any of the students' rooms, as we were staying in a boarding house in the Woodstock Road. So I wasn't quite sure what to expect. But as soon as I entered my new room, I was pleasantly surprised. It was larger than my bedroom at home, was well furnished and overlooked one of the quads with a view of the Radcliffe Camera and the University Church of Saint Mary the Virgin in the background.   Students were usually allocated a room in college for the first year of their studies, and sometimes for the second year too, when you had opportunity to choose what room you would prefer. During my first year I discovered that the room beneath me was even larger than the room I was in and had the benefit of a bedroom separate from the main room which was used as a sitting room as well as a study.   So when I was offered the chance to live in college for a second year I opted for this room which proved to be extremely useful when we were holding prayer meetings for those interested in seeking spiritual gifts. But more of that next time. For my third year I lived ‘in digs' in a boarding house on the Botley Road, just 50 yards away from the Elim Pentecostal Church which I attended throughout my time in Oxford.   Meals at Brasenose were, in my opinion at least, of a high quality and I was introduced to dishes which I had never tasted at home. These included jugged hare and braised haunch of venison, the only meals I took a positive dislike to, probably because the meat was hung for several days before it was cooked which resulted in a rather unpleasant smell. Fortunately, we were allowed to sign out in advance for any evening meal, provided we dined in college at least five times a week.   Dinner was a rather formal occasion at which we were required to wear our gowns, and which was preceded by a Latin grace which began with the words: Oculi omnium spectant in te Deus. Tu das illis escas tempore opportuno… which means The eyes of all wait upon you O God. You give them their food in due season, and is taken from Psalm 145:15. Sadly, however, I'm not sure that many people took it seriously, even if they should have known what it meant, bearing in mind that at the time Latin at O level was still an entrance requirement for Oxford University.   Breakfast and lunch were far less formal occasions. Grace was not said and there were no requirements about a dress code or attendance. There were, in fact, very few requirements about life in college. Apart from academic regulations, what rules there were related to the time of day you had to be back in college and the time at which any female guests had to be out!     The gate in the porters' lodge was the only means of access to the College. It was locked at midnight and anyone seeking access after that would be reported to the Dean and a fine would be automatically payable. However, this could be avoided if you were agile enough to scale an eight-foot wall without being caught, something of course I never had to try!   As far as the ladies were concerned, they had to be out by 10pm. This, I imagine, is no longer relevant, as, like most Oxford colleges, Brasenose rightly accepts female students as well as men. But by the time I left Oxford the ‘swinging sixties' had hardly begun, and there was still at least a nominal acknowledgement of Christian moral values.   For residential students there was also a rule about the minimum number of nights you had to be in college over the course of a term. Any absence without permission from your ‘moral tutor' would be reported by your ‘scout'. Scouts, who were usually much older than the students, originally were little more than their servants and before my time would clean your shoes if you left them outside the door of your room.   Even in my time they were referred to by their surname only, whereas they had to refer to me as Mr Petts and address me as Sir. This was something I deplored, a tradition which harked back to the old upstairs/downstairs attitude of the aristocracy still very prevalent in the early decades of the last century. If you've ever watched Downton Abbey you'll know exactly what I mean.   Social and sport Probably the most frequent social activity at Oxford was drinking coffee and staying up until the early hours of the morning discussing religion or politics or whatever else was currently in the news. Of course, whenever I could I took the opportunity to share my faith with anyone who would listen. Most of these discussions took place either in my room or that of fellow students whose accommodation was close to mine.   And at least one of those students came to faith in Christ during his first term at Brasenose, largely through the ministry of Keith de Berry, the rector of St. Aldate's Church, but I like to think that my testimony also played a part in his decision to give his life to Christ. He went on to gain a first class degree in Chemistry and continued at Oxford to do a D.Phil., (the Oxford version of a PhD). Now, after more than sixty years he is still a committed Christian and once told me that his scientific research had only confirmed his faith in Christ.   Of course, late night discussions were by no means the only occasions when there was opportunity to witness to the truth of the gospel. So whether it was punting on the Cherwell on a lazy summer afternoon, or in the changing room after a football match, or playing tennis or table tennis (for which, in my final year, I was captain of the College team), I was always eager to share my faith.       But that doesn't mean that I was constantly ‘Bible bashing'. Far from it. I remember how on one occasion, when our team was playing tennis against another college, my doubles match had been delayed for some reason. Consequently, it looked as though I would be late for our Students' Pentecostal Fellowship prayer meeting.   But it was a three-set match, and we had lost the first set six-love and were losing the second set four-love. We had only to lose two more games, and the match would be over, and I could get off to the prayer meeting which by then had already started. But throwing away the match would hardly be fair to my partner and would not have glorified God.   Then I realised that my friends would wonder where I was and would be praying for me, wherever I was or whatever I was doing. Which inspired me to say to my partner,               Come on, John. We're going to win this match.   And we did. The level of our tennis suddenly improved, and, having lost ten games in a row, we went on to win all the next twelve, taking the match by two sets to one (4-6, 6-4, 6-0). I'm not sure that John believed my explanation that this was probably the result of answered prayer, but because of that experience I am personally convinced, not only that God is interested in every tiny detail of our lives, but that such experiences bear testimony to others of the reality of our faith.   Academic programme The academic year at Oxford began in early October and finished towards the end of June. Each term lasted just 8 weeks which meant that the long summer vacation provided the opportunity for students to get a summer job or travel abroad or, where necessary, to catch up on their reading.   Reading was, in fact, a major part of learning, and the world-renowned Bodleian Library situated virtually on the doorstep of Brasenose, provided access to millions of books and other printed items. Guidance as to which books to read was given in tutorials when your tutor would set you an essay to write in time for the following week, when you would read your essay to him and he would make appropriate comments.   At the beginning of term, he would also recommend what lectures might be helpful. Attendance at lectures was entirely optional, whereas attendance at tutorials was a compulsory part of one's course. The standard of lecturing varied immensely, some academics having very poor communication skills. As a result, attendance would steadily diminish week by week and in one case I remember the series was terminated early ‘due to an indisposition' on the part of the lecturer!   In my day, the system of assessment at Oxford, for PPE at least, was by written examination. After ‘prelims' (preliminary examinations) which were taken in March in your first year, there was no further examination until ‘finals' which were taken in the June of your third year.     I was required to take at least two papers in each subject, Philosophy, Politics, and Economics, plus two further papers of my choice. I opted to take these in Philosophy as this was my favourite, despite the fact that it had been the most challenging to my Christian faith.   For example, during my second year I had been asked by my tutor to write an essay on the ontological argument for the existence of God. This was one of the arguments used by the philosopher René Descartes in an attempt to prove God's existence. During the course of my essay I said something to the effect that although philosophy cannot prove the existence of God it cannot disprove it either. It was at this point, as I was reading my essay to my tutor, that he interrupted me by saying: Oh, I don't know. I think if you mean by ‘prove' what we normally mean by ‘prove', and if you mean by ‘God' what we normally mean by ‘God', then we can probably disprove God's existence. But perhaps we can talk about it another time. This was the first time in my life that I had been confronted with such an outright denial of God's existence, and my tutor's statement shocked me deeply. It challenged everything I had based my life upon. I felt numb. As soon as he had left the room I instinctively wanted to call out to God for help. But what if my tutor was right and there was no God to call out to? But I called out anyway:             God, if there is a God, HELP! And He did! I walked into my bedroom and picked up my Bible and opened it. It fell open at Psalm 119, verse 99. My teacher had told me that he could prove that there is no God. Who was I to challenge the statement of an Oxford tutor? But in that verse the Psalmist said: I have more insight than all my teachers, for I meditate on your statutes. I came later to realise that by reading the Bible the most simple believer can gain more understanding of the things that really matter than all the intellectual rationalising of the philosopher. That verse brought immediate reassurance to my heart. It was not just the content of the verse that reassured me – though it certainly did – but the fact that, of all the verses there are in the Bible, I should turn at random to that very one. This was surely no coincidence. God had spoken to me in a remarkable and powerful way. And as the years have gone by I have learned how to counteract the arguments of the atheists. I'm so glad now that I did not abandon my faith back then. People will always be bringing up challenges to our faith, but just because I don't know the answer doesn't mean that there is no answer! And until I know what it is, I just need to keep on trusting the One who said, I AM the truth.

Dort gibt es mitunter Begegnungen mit den Stars und Menschen mit viel Einfluss. Auch in vielen Organisationen nutzen Menschen ihren Einfluss, ihr Wissen, ihr Geld aus, um Macht zu zeigen. Jesus kehrt diese Logik um und sagt, dass man nicht nach Einfluss und Macht streben, sondern einander mit den geschenkten Fähigkeiten und Kompetenzen dienen sollte. (Reflexionsfrage 1) Wo erlebe ich Bevorzugung und Machtverhältnisse in meiner Umgebung, die einem menschlichen Miteinander auf Augenhöhe entgegenstehen? (Reflexionsfrage 2) Jesus verweist auf seinen Vater im Himmel, der darüber entscheidet, wer in seinen Augen im Reich Gottes nah bei Gott ist. Wo verwirklicht sich schon heute ein Stück von der Vorstellung Gottes, dass jeder Mensch in den Augen Gottes ein VIP ist – eine sehr wichtige Person. (Vorbereitung zweites Hören) Ich höre die Lesung ein zweites Mal und achte besonders auf…. die Art, wie Jesus das Gespräch führt. Er verurteilt nicht, er fragt geschickt zurück und zeigt neue Perspektiven auf. Meine Gedanken und Gefühle mache ich zu einem Gebet und vertraue Gott an, was mich bewegt. So bitten wir Gott um seinen Segen für das Kommende. Es segne und begleite uns Gott der Vater und der Sohn und der Heilige Geist. Amen.

So also, Jesus is accused of doing evil when in fact He is doing good. He casts out a demon from a mute man so that he is able to speak (Luke 11:14–28). But some said Jesus did this by the power of Beelzebub, Satan. Like Pharaoh of old, their hearts were hard (Ex. 8:16–24). They did not recognize the finger of God, the power of the Holy Spirit at work in and through Jesus. Jesus is the Stronger Man who overcomes the strong man. He takes the devil's armor of sin and death and destroys it from the inside out by the holy cross. He exorcizes and frees us by water and the Word. We were once darkness, but now we are light in Christ the Lord (Eph. 5:1–9). As children of light, our tongues are loosed to give thanks to Him who saved us.
