Partakers of Grace, Partakers of Glory - 1 Corinthians 15: 50-58 - Athanasios Bardis

Minor Prophets with Tabitha Introduction   I met Jesus when I was 11-years-old. God had blessed me with a believing family and I sung in church choirs from the time I could read. But I didn't have a personal relationship with Jesus until a certain day in 1990. I'd gone to a violin exam, which was being held in a local church. Waiting nervously for my turn to perform for the examiners, I picked up some leaflets that were sitting on a table in the church foyer. I read one of these leaflets on my own later that day. The message of Jesus dying and rising again for the sins of all people was not brand new to me, as I'd heard it many times before, but at that moment, it was like I heard it and understood it for the first time. I cried my 11-year-old eyes out and then asked my mum if I could get my own Bible. Of course, she agreed! I've always identified very strongly with the words in Amazing Grace, “I once was lost but now I'm found, was blind but now I see”, because that's exactly what it felt like. I made the decision to follow Jesus from that day onwards. Over the last couple of decades God has been teaching me from the Bible with the help of the Holy Spirit and many great human teachers. It's gradually become clear to me that my primary spiritual gift is teaching. I feel very privileged to be able to share in the ministry of Partakers. Over the next few months I'm going to be taking a tour through the books of the minor prophets. I reckon that if you lined up the Bibles of a sample of believers (myself included!) and looked at the pages that looked least worn and thumbed you would find that the minor prophets account for a substantial proportion of the most pristine pages! Even those prophets that we feel more familiar with, like Jonah, have often only featured in our Christian lives in the form of Sunday school stories. Well, it's time to do something about that! The books of the minor prophets are full of incredible truths which will help us to understand the character and heart of God. If you've ever felt intimidated or confused by these particular books in the Bible then I hope you will join me as I give an overview of each book and I really hope you'll be inspired to have a closer look at each one for yourself. The minor prophets are no less important than the major prophets (such as Isaiah and Jeremiah) but their prophetic books are shorter in length and therefore referred to as 'minor'. The books of the minor prophets were written over a long time span, ranging from the eighth century BC to the fourth or fifth century BC. We're going to look at them in roughly chronological order, which is a little different to the order they appear in the Bible. The dating of certain books, such as Obadiah and Joel, is uncertain and scholars disagree about when these books were written. So please forgive me if the order in which I tackle the books is not the precise order that you expect! It's first helpful to consider what the role of a prophet is. When we think of the word 'prophecy' we often think about predictions relating to the future. Now, the prophets did sometimes speak about things that had not yet happened, but much more often they spoke about present events and announced God's thoughts and messages to the peoples of Israel and Judah. Prophets were not generally regular teachers of God's word (that was the task of the priests). Instead prophets were raised up at particular times and for particular situations, to speak God's words to the people. They were able to see things and understand things that other people could not. As we look at the 12 books of the minor prophets we will see some common themes emerging. The prophets repeatedly spoke of the fact that God had chosen Israel for a covenant relationship; they declared the sad truth that the majority of Israel had sinned against God and turned away from him; they warned about coming judgement; and they declared the promise of renewal and restoration that would follow judgement, both in the immediate future and at the end of history. As we study each book we need to first look at what book meant to the people who first heard the message. When we have understood this we can then consider how each book speaks to us today. Our first study will begin next Thursday in the book of Jonah. I hope you'll join me then! Tabitha Tap or click here to download this episode as an audio mp3 file

Partakers of the Heavenly Calling (Ephesians 4 v1) by David Antwi

When you become a recipient of God's Grace, you are more than a Child of God, but also a recipient of every blessing God has for Israel. Every blessing, including the blessing in Jeremiah 18:6 Oh house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? saith the LORD. Behold as the clay is in the potter's hand so are ye in mine hand, O house of Israel.Listen to this episode for more clarity.Email me at gracerorallm@gmail.comwebpage www.gracerecipient.org

Continuing on from verse 3 where the savior has called us to His own glory and virtue, Dr. Mitchell teaches 2Peter 1 verse 4 in depth. In this verse Peter writes about great and precious promises and becoming partaker of the divine nature. Dr. Mitchell points out that God has called us to glory and virtue and not to failure. Dr. Mitchell examines the meaning of the the words 'the divine nature' which comes by way of these great promises. Having trusted in the savior, one becomes partaker of the divine nature which delivers one from the corruption that is in the world. Dr. Mitchell then points out 3 things in these verses that are divine and 3 things which have to do with the believer. Let's turn in our Bibles to 2nd Peter chapter 1 verse 4 with Dr. Mitchell, here on the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast.

November 3, 2024 Partakers Of The Divine Nature - Steve Williams by Sermon From Walesbaptisttn.org

  Partakers Prayers For the Persecuted  Church Worldwide   We pray together and when Christians pray together, from different nations, different churches and different denominations - that reveals Church unity! Come! Let us pray together!   Prayers for the Persecuted Church Sovereign God, we worship you and acknowledge that you know all of those who suffer in your name because they follow you. We remember those who are imprisoned for their faith and ask that they would join with the Apostle Paul to see that even though they remain captive, their chains have furthered the gospel, not frustrated it. May they inspire and embolden their fellow believers to speak the word of God more courageously and fearlessly. Amen God of all comfort, for those who are tortured both in body and mind, give them the grace to endure and to see their suffering as part of following in Christ's footsteps. Merciful God, for those asked to pay the ultimate price; who are martyred because of their love for you, may they truly know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death. Amen Father God, for those who are widowed and orphaned may they know the comfort that comes from your promised presence even when they walk through the valley. May they be strengthened by your Spirit, enabling them to rejoice with the psalmist as they proclaim that the LORD will not abandon them in death. Amen Heavenly Father, we ask that you would make us ever mindful of our brothers and sisters around the world who need us to stand with them as they suffer in your name. Teach us what it means to overcome by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of our testimony; we pray that we would not love our lives so much as to shrink from death. We ask these things O Father, through the name of Your Son, Jesus and in the power of the Holy Spirit who lives within us.

In Pastor Andrew's message, we're invited to explore the transformative concept of being 'partakers of the divine nature.' Drawing from 2 Peter 1, we're reminded that through a true and personal knowledge of Jesus, we can experience a dynamic spiritual life. The sermon challenges us to move beyond mere faith and into a realm where we actively embody God's character in the world. We're encouraged to see ourselves as part of God's kingdom, empowered by His presence within us. The analogy of a flying fish beautifully illustrates our new nature in Christ - we're transformed, yet still learning to fully embrace our new capabilities. This message urges us to grow in our new nature, shedding old habits and embracing a life that radiates God's glory. It's a call to action for all believers to live so deeply in Christ that His presence is unmistakably revealed through us.

Pastor Jim Steckler | BFBC: Minot | Sunday 10.13.24

The goal of God's salvation plan for you wasn't completed the moment you trusted in Jesus as your Savior; that was just the beginning. God wants to reform you into the character, values, attitudes and actions of Jesus Himself. This is the message of 2 Peter.

Join us as we explore the concept of being 'born again' through the word of God. We'll discuss how it's different from natural birth and why it's essential for receiving eternal life with Jesus. Using scriptures like Romans 8:14-17 and Ephesians 2:4, we'll explain how spiritual birth makes you a child of God, the significance of being led by the Holy Spirit, and what it means to be made alive from the dead through Christ. We'll finish with advice on accepting Jesus into your life for salvation.

Send us a textToday, we study only 4 verses, but there are so many wonderful things to go over within them. We looked at how Paul prayed for the Colossian believers to be filled with knowledge, wisdom, and spiritual understanding. That they might walk worthy of the Lord, be fruitful in all of their works, and increase in their knowledge of God. That they might be strengthened with might, by His glorious power, with all patience, longsuffering, and joyfulness. Paul gave thanks to the Father because he has made us all to be partakers of the inheritance with the saints in the Light.In our Q&A segment, we were asked: Could you please explain Rom. 12:18, and the part about living peaceably with all men? When people try to take advantage of me, should I surrender to them… and what constitutes peace?This episode has something for everyone, so come on and listen in today! 

“Partakers of the divine nature.” — 2 Peter 1:4 To be a partaker of the divine nature is not, of course, to become God. That cannot be. The essence of Deity is not to be participated in by the creature. Between the creature and the Creator there must ever be a gulf fixed in respect […]

Church Leadership Session 3: “What does the Old Testament teach us about leadership?” – Part 1 Welcome to the third in this series on Church Leadership. So far we have affirmed that Jesus is the Head of the Church and that the Church is the people not a building. We have also looked at some of the terms used in the New Testament and elsewhere, that, I hope, will help us to be clear on what we are talking about as we look in more detail at leadership in the Church. In this session I want to start to look at a few brief examples from the Bible that will give us some clues as to how God called and gifted leaders. We'll continue with this next time. As I was advancing in my career, the Director of the Department I was working in decided that I would benefit from some management training. So a one day course was chosen for me and off I went to join about 100 other people from various parts of the public sector. We were in a lecture hall, with a lectern on which was a book that looked to me like a Bible. At the due time the man who was going to teach us about management introduced himself and then asked the audience: “Who has heard of Nehemiah?” A few hands went up – including mine. He then took the Bible from the lectern, held it up and said: “This is the best textbook you can get on all aspects of life – including management”. He went on to tell us that he was going to use Nehemiah as a case study. He was brilliant! We'll take a look at Nehemiah's leadership style next time. Not only do we find much help from those God chose as leaders – we also see that He chose imperfect people. Most of the saints of old got it wrong from time to time – Abraham lied about Sarah, Noah got drunk, Moses lost his temper, David committed adultery, Elijah was suicidal, Jonah ran away, Thomas doubted, Peter denied Jesus, Paul persecuted Christians – need I go on? The amazing thing is that God forgave them as they repented and He continued to use them. All of us, as leaders, are constantly in need of the grace of God and the empowering of the Holy Spirit as we battle with sin and failure. Praise Him – He is the God of the second (and third and fourth and fifth etc etc) chance as we submit to Him. We don't have time today to look at many examples – so here are just two – we'll look at more next time: Moses began life as a foundling and was brought up in Pharaoh's palace at a time when his people were being sorely oppressed. He had a magnificent early training in the best educational establishments that Egypt could offer and, aged 40 years, he went out to deliver his fellow Israelites. But he got it wrong – he was 40 years too soon! He ran away and spent 40 years in the desert looking after his father-in-law's sheep. It was then that God called him and, at 80 years old, he was able to become one of the greatest leaders the world has ever seen. What do we learn from this? Nothing learned is ever wasted – God used his early education in Egypt to help him confront the Pharaoh of the day. Attempt things for God in your own strength and you will fail. Don't despise the “wilderness experience”. Moses learned the ways of the desert through which he was to lead Israel. Work with others where you can – Moses had Aaron with him, along with the elders of Israel. Take advice from others – he listened to Jethro, his father-in-law, and reduced his burden by delegating to others (note, the Bible described those to whom he delegated “able men” – Genesis 18). Train the one who will take your place – Joshua, while being God's chosen man, had to learn the ropes. Then there is Daniel. I relate to him – after all, he was a government official (that was his “day job”) but also a powerful and faithful prophet of God. He was from the Hebrew elite – but still carried off into exile by the Babylonians. Along with his three friends Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, he refused to compromise on essential matters (eating kosher food and bowing down to graven images for example) and yet surpassed the other students in that year's intake. You can read about it in the early chapters of the book that bears his name. God used him to interpret dreams, to guide the despotic kings who ruled over many years and to warn where necessary. The famous incident of the Den of Lions – when, incidentally, Danial was an old man, reminds us of his faithfulness over the whole of his career. This is what the first few verses of Daniel 6 have to say: “It pleased Darius to appoint 120 satraps to rule throughout the kingdom, 2 with three administrators over them, one of whom was Daniel. The satraps were made accountable to them so that the king might not suffer loss. Now Daniel so distinguished himself among the administrators and the satraps by his exceptional qualities that the king planned to set him over the whole kingdom. At this, the administrators and the satraps tried to find grounds for charges against Daniel in his conduct of government affairs, but they were unable to do so. They could find no corruption in him, because he was trustworthy and neither corrupt nor negligent. Finally these men said, “We will never find any basis for charges against this man Daniel unless it has something to do with the law of his God.” What a man! Would that all leaders – both in church and other spheres of service could be described like that. Next time we'll take a brief look at some more leaders from the Scriptures. A prayer: “Thank you, Lord, that Your word pulls no punches about those you called to lead. Thank you for what we can learn from them and what it tells us about your outrageous grace – for which we thank You – in Jesus Name” Click or Tap here to listen to or save this as an audio mp3 file~You can now purchase our Partakers books!

Hebrews 3:14-15 For we have become partakers of Christ, if we hold fast the beginning of our assurance firm until the end, while it is said, “Today if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts, as when they provoked Me.” The encouragement we derive from this verse primarily comes from the word “partakers.” It's the same word the Spirit used in 1:9. “THEREFORE GOD, YOUR GOD, HAS ANOINTED YOU WITH THE OIL OF GLADNESS ABOVE YOUR COMPANIONS.” In that verse it is translated companions. Again in 3:1. “Therefore, holy brethren, partakers (or companions) of a heavenly calling, consider Jesus, the Apostle and High Priest of our confession.” If you are a child of God, then you are Jesus' companion. You are not doing life alone. Jesus shares life with you. He partakes of everything you do and say. But let's also think of it this way. You partake of His life. You share in His mission, sufferings, vision, faith, love, joy, peace, and ultimately, His glory. His life is your life! To get the essential sense of what the Spirit is saying, it helps to simplify it with a summary. From the beginning you heard that Jesus is God's Son and He promises eternal life to all who believe. He promises a rest from your wandering and sojourning in this world in a new world to come, when you will finally be home with Him. You are Jesus' companion if you hold fast to that promise, which is the beginning of your assurance, firm until you get there. Remember at the beginning of chapter 2 he said, “For this reason we must pay much closer attention to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away from it…After it was at the first spoken through the Lord, it was confirmed to us by those who heard.” The author took his readers back to what they heard in the beginning and used Ps. 95 as his authority to encourage them to hold fast. While God said, “Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts, for I swear you won't enter My rest” therefore, (now I jump down to 4:1) “Let us fear if, while a promise remains of entering His rest, any one of you may seem to have come short of it.” Do you get it? God promises us His rest if we will hear His voice and trust in Him until the end. We are His companions if we don't drift away or fall away in unbelief from what we have heard. I'm suggesting that the surest way to hold fast His promise until the end is to live to love with Him everyday of your life until the end. He not only will bring you to glory in His promised rest, but you can live in His rest and peace now while you are sojourning in this world. If you are His companion now, you'll be His companion in the world to come.

Peter says we are partakers of the divine nature, which the early church called theosis or divinization. This is a concept obscured by western atonement theories and the taking up of Greek philosophical thought, but which in G.W.F. Hegel is reappropriated and expressed as obtaining God's consciousness.

No one can share God's glory, right? Actually, the exact opposite is true. God's people are even named “partakers of the glory” and “the house of His glory”! Before Jesus went to the cross, He prayed, “Father, the glory you gave Me, I have given them.” So, this has already been established by a divine decree!
