Sunday Service (3/8/26) // Revelation 14:6-11 (ESV) // The Messages of the Three Angels // 6 Then I saw another angel flying directly overhead, with an eternal gospel to proclaim to those who dwell on earth, to every nation and tribe and language and people. 7 And he said with a loud voice, “Fear God and give him glory, because the hour of his judgment has come, and worship him who made heaven and earth, the sea and the springs of water.”8 Another angel, a second, followed, saying, “Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great, she who made all nations drink the wine of the passion[a] of her sexual immorality.”9 And another angel, a third, followed them, saying with a loud voice, “If anyone worships the beast and its image and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand, 10 he also will drink the wine of God's wrath, poured full strength into the cup of his anger, and he will be tormented with fire and sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. 11 And the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever, and they have no rest, day or night, these worshipers of the beast and its image, and whoever receives the mark of its name.”Footnotesa.

Sermon for March 15, 2026

Friday Bible Study (3/6/26) // Ezra 8: 21-36 (ESV) // Fasting and Prayer for Protection // 21 Then I proclaimed a fast there, at the river Ahava, that we might humble ourselves before our God, to seek from him a safe journey for ourselves, our children, and all our goods. 22 For I was ashamed to ask the king for a band of soldiers and horsemen to protect us against the enemy on our way, since we had told the king, “The hand of our God is for good on all who seek him, and the power of his wrath is against all who forsake him.” 23 So we fasted and implored our God for this, and he listened to our entreaty.Priests to Guard Offerings24 Then I set apart twelve of the leading priests: Sherebiah, Hashabiah, and ten of their kinsmen with them. 25 And I weighed out to them the silver and the gold and the vessels, the offering for the house of our God that the king and his counselors and his lords and all Israel there present had offered. 26 I weighed out into their hand 650 talents[a] of silver, and silver vessels worth 200 talents,[b] and 100 talents of gold, 27 20 bowls of gold worth 1,000 darics,[c] and two vessels of fine bright bronze as precious as gold. 28 And I said to them, “You are holy to the Lord, and the vessels are holy, and the silver and the gold are a freewill offering to the Lord, the God of your fathers. 29 Guard them and keep them until you weigh them before the chief priests and the Levites and the heads of fathers' houses in Israel at Jerusalem, within the chambers of the house of the Lord.” 30 So the priests and the Levites took over the weight of the silver and the gold and the vessels, to bring them to Jerusalem, to the house of our God.31 Then we departed from the river Ahava on the twelfth day of the first month, to go to Jerusalem. The hand of our God was on us, and he delivered us from the hand of the enemy and from ambushes by the way. 32 We came to Jerusalem, and there we remained three days. 33 On the fourth day, within the house of our God, the silver and the gold and the vessels were weighed into the hands of Meremoth the priest, son of Uriah, and with him was Eleazar the son of Phinehas, and with them were the Levites, Jozabad the son of Jeshua and Noadiah the son of Binnui. 34 The whole was counted and weighed, and the weight of everything was recorded.35 At that time those who had come from captivity, the returned exiles, offered burnt offerings to the God of Israel, twelve bulls for all Israel, ninety-six rams, seventy-seven lambs, and as a sin offering twelve male goats. All this was a burnt offering to the Lord. 36 They also delivered the king's commissions to the king's satraps[d] and to the governors of the province Beyond the River, and they aided the people and the house of God.Footnotesa.

Pastor Daniel preaches, "I am not part 0f God's people because I say I am but because I am united with Christ through faith."

Moving Towards TensionLeaders Make It Better "For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it." (Hebrews 12:11, ESV) True growth is painful. It comes after testing, heat, pressure, or resistance. Most people run from the pain of tension, but wisdom tells us tension is necessary if you want to keep growing. Likewise, an organization will not grow by eliminating all tension; it grows by embracing it in a healthy way. Consider this: Toyota is known for building vehicles with remarkable reliability. They consistently hold some of the highest resale values in the automotive market and are regularly recognized for longevity and durability. But Toyota did not become synonymous with quality by accident. In the decades following World War II, Japanese automakers were not globally respected. Toyota had to fight its way into credibility. Their breakthrough came when they made a radical decision to prioritize quality over speed. While many manufacturers focused on producing more cars faster, Toyota chose a different path. They developed what became known as the Toyota Production System, often referred to as Lean Manufacturing. Lean manufacturing removes unnecessary complexity. It strips away waste. It refuses to grow comfortable with inefficiency. But perhaps most remarkable is this: Toyota literally built tension into their assembly line. At the center of their system is something called the Andon system (Andon means lantern in Japanese). Running alongside the assembly line is a bright cord. At any moment, any worker, regardless of rank, can pull that cord. And when they do, the entire production line stops. Not slows down. It stops. In an industry obsessed with speed and output, Toyota empowers the person with their hands on the product to halt the entire line if they see something wrong. Why? Because they understand that small tension now, prevents catastrophic failure later. So what does that mean for us? If a company can embrace tension in a system that produces cars, why would we try to avoid it in a church that is building people? Tension is the stretch we feel when growth pulls us beyond our current comfort. It's not a sign that something is wrong; it's a sign that something needs to grow. Learning how to lean into it and use it is key. Let me give you a practical example. Since September, we've seen a significant increase in first-time guests. At the same time, I felt something was off in our follow-up systems. We're not seeing the retention I expected, so I "pulled the cord," in a manner of speaking. What we found was alarming. Systems we designed years ago are no longer adequate or effective for where we are now. We became too comfortable with automation. Our contact reads like scripts and templates. It isn't personal. It isn't surprising that we haven't received a reply to any of our texts or emails since October. It hasn't been personal; it hasn't felt real. Personal is powerful, and artificial is inauthentic. If we want God to keep sending people, we have to truly see people. Do you feel the tension? HOW TO MOVE TOWARDS TENSION 1. RECOGNIZE TOMORROW'S GROWTH REQUIRES TODAY'S PAIN Two months ago, I shared "Moving Away from Complexity." I didn't realize at the time just how timely that message would be for us. We've worked hard to move from an older version of Grace World to the healthy expression we have today. Yet this cannot be our stopping place. There is a future version of our church that is leaner and stronger than we are right now. Getting there will require the right amount of pain. We have to embrace the tension. Time under tension is the only way to produce growth. If you've been feeling tension, that's a good thing. Lean into it. Don't run from it. If you haven't been feeling tension, it's likely you're too comfortable and need to challenge yourself. Comfort says, "This is what got us here." Leaning into tension asks, "What will get us there?" • Look for your current pain points. • Find a leadership book, podcast, or coach that will stretch you. The key is to decide today that you will embrace the tension. 2. ASK, "IS IT MISSION CRITICAL?" We are not a program-driven church. We are a mission-driven church. We show people who Jesus is and introduce them to the fullness of life that He offers. We help people discover life in fullness. To do this… We Awaken hearts. We Connect in community. We Train for purpose. We Send into fullness. Everything we do should be regularly run through that filter: Does this awaken? Does this connect? Does this train? Does this send? If it doesn't clearly move someone toward life in its fullness, we must refine it or release it. A clear mission should create tension. Every program. Every event. Every activity. Every role. Each must answer the question: How is this mission-critical? • Review your events and ministries through the lens of our mission. • Look for measurable fruit. • Are you duplicating efforts? • Where are you doing too much? • Make sure you and your team know exactly how this moves the mission forward. Remember, clarity of mission protects our calling. 3. MAKE FEEDBACK YOUR FRIEND Every member of this team needs to be able to pull on the rope. You see things we can't see. We cannot fix or refine what we refuse to see. Invite them into the feedback loop. We depend on an amazing team of pastors, campus staff, group leaders, and Kids and Student leaders. It takes teamwork to make this dream work. When was the last time you invited feedback or felt that yours was truly welcome? Normalize post-event debriefs: • What worked? • What didn't? • Where was there confusion? • What was missing? • Schedule regular check-ins with key teams and leaders. • Invite input before making major adjustments. • Ask, "What are you seeing that we are missing?" • Reward their honesty, not just their harmony. A lack of feedback usually means we've grown comfortable. You have to challenge the system. 4. HAVE THE HARD CONVERSATIONS You cannot move a team or organization forward without embracing hard conversations. These are the conversations that challenge the status quo while moving us toward the mission. Avoiding these conversations may protect your comfort, but having them protects our culture.• Separate identity from assignment. • Anchor the conversation in our vision and values. • Remember, the first goal of communication is clarity. • Land on clear action steps. If we know our vision and live out our values, we already have a framework for every hard conversation. It's built into the culture. Pull on the rope! SHARPING THE EDGE If we want to stay sharp as a church, as leaders, and as a team, we cannot run from tension. We must lean into it. The right kind of tension is not a threat to our culture; it is proof that we care enough to grow. So here is the action step: pull the cord. This week, identify one area where something feels "off" in your ministry, your systems, or even in yourself and address it directly. Don't ignore it. Don't normalize it. Lean into it. Remember, leaders make it better. And sometimes making it better means embracing the friction that sharpens us.

Sermon for March 8, 2026

Sunday Service (3/1/26) // Revelation 14:1-5 (ESV) // The Lamb and the 144,000 // 14 Then I looked, and behold, on Mount Zion stood the Lamb, and with him 144,000 who had his name and his Father's name written on their foreheads. 2 And I heard a voice from heaven like the roar of many waters and like the sound of loud thunder. The voice I heard was like the sound of harpists playing on their harps, 3 and they were singing a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and before the elders. No one could learn that song except the 144,000 who had been redeemed from the earth. 4 It is these who have not defiled themselves with women, for they are virgins. It is these who follow the Lamb wherever he goes. These have been redeemed from mankind as firstfruits for God and the Lamb, 5 and in their mouth no lie was found, for they are blameless.#Revelation #BookofRevelation #BibleStudy #BibleExplained #BiblicalStudies #BibleTeacher #WordOfGod #BiblicalLessons #BibleJournal #BibleReading #BibleStudyCommunity #BibleVerse #prophecy #prophetic #jerusalemWebsite: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://mbchicago.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ FOLLOW US Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  / mbc.chicago  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  / mbc.chicago  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ TikTok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  / mbc.chicago  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Podcasts: Listen on Apple, Spotify & others TO SUPPORT USZelle to: info@mbchicago.orgWebsite: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://mbchicago.org/give⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Venmo: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://venmo.com/mbchurch⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ DAF Donations: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://every.org/mbc.chicago⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ PayPal: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://paypal.com/donate/?hosted_but...⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Jesus begins His journey to Jerusalem, and His disciples ask Him, "Teach us to pray." In this message, Pastor Daniel breaks down the Lord's prayer and two things that Jesus tells His disciples to remember when they pray. thebridgebluffton.com

In Part 4 of the series We Walk by Faith, Pastor Daniel Stevens reminds us that faith is not just something we possess, it is something we develop. Just like a muscle, faith grows stronger when it is exercised. Scripture teaches that we walk by faith and not by sight, and that faith begins by believing what God has spoken. When we choose to trust God's promises even when we cannot see the outcome, we begin strengthening our faith.Pastor Daniel Stevens explains that faith grows through several spiritual practices. Confidence in what we hope for stretches our faith. Believing the truths we read in Scripture builds it. Acting on what God tells us moves faith from theory into practice. Even seasons of suffering can become spiritual training that produces perseverance and hope. As we nourish our faith through God's Word, prayer, fasting, and spiritual rest, we become prepared to stand strong when life's challenges come.#GoodHopeChurch #Faith #WalkByFaith #TrustGod #SpiritualGrowth #FaithInAction #ChristianLivingSermon Notes: https://link.goodhope.ag/faith-4Giving Information: https://goodhope.ag/givingSTAY CONNECTEDYoutube: https://youtube.com/GoodHopeChurchInstagram: http://instagram.com/goodhopemnFacebook: http://fb.com/goodhopemn

March 8th, 2026 | No Other Gospel | Galatians 2:1-10When the truth of the Gospel is challenged, what should believers do? In this message from Galatians 2:1–10, Pastor Daniel Norris walks through a pivotal moment in the early church when the Gospel itself was under pressure. As false teachers attempted to add religious requirements to salvation, the apostles were forced to confront a critical question: Is Jesus enough?Through Paul's meeting with the leaders in Jerusalem, we see how the church responded when the Gospel was on the line. Pastor Daniel highlights three powerful movements that still guide the church today: standing aligned in truth, remaining firm in conviction, and moving forward united in mission.This episode reminds us that the Gospel of Jesus Christ cannot be diluted, modified, or added to. Salvation is not Jesus plus something—it is Jesus alone. And when believers hold fast to that truth, the church remains clear in its message and unified in its mission.Join us as we continue our series “No Other Gospel” and discover why clarity about the Gospel matters more than ever.Do you know JESUS?: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nblongview.org/do-you-know-jesus⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Need PRAYER?: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nblongview.org/pray⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SUPPORT through giving: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nbbctx.org/giving⁠⁠⁠

"Fruit Of The Spirit - Unusual Kindness” Pastor Daniel Kraft 3.1.26

In this episode, Pastor Daniel and Pastor Ben discuss the recent sermon on Romans 2:12-16, "The Danger of Hearing About God".

Pastor Daniel warns that hearing truths about God doesn't mean you know God.

Pastor Daniel continues our sermon series on the book of Mark

In Part 3 of We Walk by Faith, Pastor Daniel Stevens challenges us with one powerful question: What did God say? If faith begins by believing what we heard, then it continues by standing firmly on what God has spoken in His Word. From provision in Matthew 6 to freedom in Christ, from peace in the Holy Spirit to strength in spiritual battles, Pastor Daniel reminds us that God's promises come with both His part and ours. We seek first His Kingdom. We submit and resist. We humble ourselves and pray. And He moves.This message walks through practical, real life faith for provision, freedom from temptation, mental health, healing, our nation, and even enduring hardship. God does not waste pain. He works all things for good. When He speaks, His Word is not empty. It accomplishes what He desires. Pastor Daniel Stevens calls us to live with bold confidence in every promise of God because if He said it, it is done.#WeWalkByFaith #FaithOverFear #GoodHopeChurch #TrustGod #KingdomLiving #FreedomInChrist #GodsPromises #StandFirm #FaithInActionSermon Notes: https://link.goodhope.ag/faith-3Giving Information: https://goodhope.ag/givingSTAY CONNECTEDYoutube: https://youtube.com/GoodHopeChurchInstagram: http://instagram.com/goodhopemnFacebook: http://fb.com/goodhopemn 

Spiritual Formation | Sunday Service | Pastor Daniel Nwachinemere

Pastor Daniel shares on the necessity of digging and guarding a personal spiritual well through prayer, Scripture, and praise, teaching that Christ freely offers the Holy Spirit as living water that sustains, satisfies, and empowers believers through every season.

Sunday Service (2/22/26) // Revelation 13: 15-18 (ESV) // The Second Beast // 15 And it was allowed to give breath to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast might even speak and might cause those who would not worship the image of the beast to be slain. 16 Also it causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave,[a] to be marked on the right hand or the forehead, 17 so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, that is, the name of the beast or the number of its name. 18 This calls for wisdom: let the one who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man, and his number is 666.[b]Footnotesa. Revelation 13: 16 For the contextual rendering of the Greek word doulos, see Prefaceb. Revelation 13: 18 Some manuscripts 616The video addresses common misconceptions and provides a theological interpretation of the Mark of the Beast as described in Revelation 13:15-18 (0:00-0:53). Pastor Daniel emphasizes the importance of understanding this biblical truth within its proper context, despite the confusion and speculation it often generates (0:56-1:23).Here are the key takeaways from the sermon:Context of Revelation 13 (1:31-4:00): The passage describes the "second beast" (the Antichrist) who will enforce worship of the "first beast" and implement a system of control, ultimately leading to the "mark of the beast."The Idolatrous Image (7:00-10:20): The sermon highlights that the image of the beast will be uniquely animated and able to speak, unlike previous biblical idols. This animation, whether technological or supernatural, will compel worship and has the authority to kill those who refuse.Worship Driven by Terror vs. Grace (11:28-16:20): A stark contrast is drawn between the Antichrist's coerced worship, driven by fear and threat of death, and the true Christ's invitation to worship, which is motivated by love, grace, and sacrifice. The video emphasizes that God's ultimate disposition towards humanity is grace, as seen in the closing verse of Revelation (15:33-16:20).Spiritual Significance of the Mark (18:54-25:30): The mark of the beast is primarily understood as a spiritual inversion and perversion of God's command for complete devotion, as outlined in Deuteronomy 6 (the Shema). It signifies full allegiance to the Antichrist, influencing thoughts and actions.Physical Consequences of the Mark (25:31-32:42): Beyond symbolism, the mark has undeniable physical implications, serving as a required universal identification system that controls economic activity. Those without the mark will be unable to buy or sell, leading to severe persecution and pressure to conform. The pastor contrasts this with God's provision for all, even those who reject Him.Clarification on the Mark (36:00-39:20): The sermon explicitly states that the mark of the beast is not a vaccine, internet service, or a day of worship. It will be totally recognizable and obvious, directly linked to the conscious worship of a man and participation in a new world religion. You cannot accidentally take the mark.The Number 666 (40:05-47:49): While acknowledging the historical use of gematria to interpret 666, the video suggests that its full meaning will likely be revealed during the tribulation period. Symbolically, the number six represents man's imperfection and falling short of God's perfection (represented by seven). Triple six emphasizes the amplification of man's fallenness and the unholy trinity's efforts to defy God.⁠#Revelation⁠ ⁠#BookofRevelation⁠ ⁠#BibleStudy⁠ ⁠#BibleExplained⁠ ⁠#BiblicalStudies⁠ ⁠#BibleTeacher⁠ ⁠#WordOfGod⁠ ⁠#BiblicalLessons⁠ ⁠#BibleJournal⁠ ⁠#BibleReading⁠ ⁠#BibleStudyCommunity⁠ ⁠#BibleVerse⁠ ⁠#prophecy⁠ ⁠#prophetic⁠ ⁠#jerusalem⁠Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://mbchicago.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

"Fruit Of The Spirit - Peace" Pastor Daniel Kraft 2.15.26

In this episode, Pastor Daniel and Pastor Ben discuss the recent sermon on Romans 2:6-11, "The Impartial Judge, Part 3".

In “We Walk by Faith – Part 2,” Pastor Daniel Stevens invites us to reflect on the foundation of our spiritual life. Salvation does not come through effort or rule keeping. It begins by believing the message of Christ. If our relationship with God starts by faith, then every next step forward must also be taken by faith. Hearing God's Word is powerful, but transformation happens when we truly believe it.Pastor Daniel Stevens points to the disciples asking for more faith and reminds us that even small faith can produce big results. Yet we are not meant to stay small. God calls us into new identities, new levels of obedience, and new trust long before we see visible evidence. Whether you are believing for healing, growth, freedom, or restoration, the invitation is clear: trust what God has said and walk it out. What is God speaking to you today?#GoodHopeChurch #WeWalkByFaith #FaithInAction #TrustTheWord #ChristianGrowth #FaithForward #HopeInChrist #JesusChangesEverythingSermon Notes: https://link.goodhope.ag/faith-2Giving Information: https://goodhope.ag/givingSTAY CONNECTEDYoutube: https://youtube.com/GoodHopeChurchInstagram: http://instagram.com/goodhopemnFacebook: http://fb.com/goodhopemn

Sunday Service (2/15/26) // Hebrews 11:8-10 (ESV) // 8 By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to a place that he was to receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going. 9 By faith he went to live in the land of promise, as in a foreign land, living in tents with Isaac and Jacob, heirs with him of the same promise. 10 For he was looking forward to the city that has foundations, whose designer and builder is God.#BibleStudy #BibleExplained #Bible #BiblicalStudies #BibleTeacher #WordOfGod #BiblicalLessons #BibleJournal #BibleReading #BibleStudyNotes #biblestudycommunity #ChicagoChurch #BibleProject #BibleVerse #Bible Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://mbchicago.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ FOLLOW USFacebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  / mbc.chicago  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  / mbc.chicago  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ TikTok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  / mbc.chicago  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Podcasts: Listen on Apple, Spotify & others TO SUPPORT US Zelle to: info@mbchicago.org Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://mbchicago.org/give⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Venmo: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://venmo.com/mbchurch⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ DAF Donations: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://every.org/mbc.chicago⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ PayPal: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://paypal.com/donate/?hosted_but...⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Friday Bible Study (2/13/26) // Ezra 7: 11-28 (ESV) // Ezra Sent to Teach the People // 11 This is a copy of the letter that King Artaxerxes gave to Ezra the priest, the scribe, a man learned in matters of the commandments of the Lord and his statutes for Israel:[a] 12 “Artaxerxes, king of kings, to Ezra the priest, the scribe of the Law of the God of heaven. Peace.[b] And now 13 I make a decree that anyone of the people of Israel or their priests or Levites in my kingdom, who freely offers to go to Jerusalem, may go with you. 14 For you are sent by the king and his seven counselors to make inquiries about Judah and Jerusalem according to the Law of your God, which is in your hand, 15 and also to carry the silver and gold that the king and his counselors have freely offered to the God of Israel, whose dwelling is in Jerusalem, 16 with all the silver and gold that you shall find in the whole province of Babylonia, and with the freewill offerings of the people and the priests, vowed willingly for the house of their God that is in Jerusalem. 17 With this money, then, you shall with all diligence buy bulls, rams, and lambs, with their grain offerings and their drink offerings, and you shall offer them on the altar of the house of your God that is in Jerusalem. 18 Whatever seems good to you and your brothers to do with the rest of the silver and gold, you may do, according to the will of your God. 19 The vessels that have been given you for the service of the house of your God, you shall deliver before the God of Jerusalem. 20 And whatever else is required for the house of your God, which it falls to you to provide, you may provide it out of the king's treasury.21 “And I, Artaxerxes the king, make a decree to all the treasurers in the province Beyond the River: Whatever Ezra the priest, the scribe of the Law of the God of heaven, requires of you, let it be done with all diligence, 22 up to 100 talents[c] of silver, 100 cors[d] of wheat, 100 baths[e] of wine, 100 baths of oil, and salt without prescribing how much. 23 Whatever is decreed by the God of heaven, let it be done in full for the house of the God of heaven, lest his wrath be against the realm of the king and his sons. 24 We also notify you that it shall not be lawful to impose tribute, custom, or toll on anyone of the priests, the Levites, the singers, the doorkeepers, the temple servants, or other servants of this house of God.25 “And you, Ezra, according to the wisdom of your God that is in your hand, appoint magistrates and judges who may judge all the people in the province Beyond the River, all such as know the laws of your God. And those who do not know them, you shall teach. 26 Whoever will not obey the law of your God and the law of the king, let judgment be strictly executed on him, whether for death or for banishment or for confiscation of his goods or for imprisonment.”27 Blessed be the Lord, the God of our fathers, who put such a thing as this into the heart of the king, to beautify the house of the Lord that is in Jerusalem, 28 and who extended to me his steadfast love before the king and his counselors, and before all the king's mighty officers. I took courage, for the hand of the Lord my God was on me, and I gathered leading men from Israel to go up with me.Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://mbchicago.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ FOLLOW USFacebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  / mbc.chicago  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  / mbc.chicago  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ TikTok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  / mbc.chicago  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ TO SUPPORT US Zelle to: info@mbchicago.org Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://mbchicago.org/give⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Venmo: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://venmo.com/mbchurch⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ DAF Donations: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://every.org/mbc.chicago⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ PayPal: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://paypal.com/donate/?hosted_but...⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Pastor Daniel preaches that as the storm of God's wrath and the peace of His salvation approach, let each of us ensure we are sheltered in Christ.
