Who do you believe God to be? If you've been raised in a home or a church where God has seemed hard or unkind, judgmental, or angry, it can be difficult to want a relationship with this type of God. Or to trust Him or to even believe in Him. Yet we all long for truth. Can I encourage you to pick up a Bible? To find out what God is like for yourself? Colossians tells us that Jesus is the image of the invisible God. And when we read the stories of Jesus' interactions with people He wasn't harsh; He was kind. He didn't come to condemn but to save. He wasn't angry but compassionate. This is God, and He loves you. Always remember there is hope with God. Christ is the visible image of the invisible God. He existed before anything was created and is supreme over all creation. Colossians 1:15 radio.hopewithgod.com

Headed to Rome to stand trial, Paul’s journey was marred by hardship & doubt. But God meets him in the midst of the despair, promising him and all who are with him deliverance. When we face despair and then the divine assurance of salvation, will we respond in action? (Why wouldn’t we?!)

Psalm 82 WorksheetAnother psalm of Asaph.God is the ______________________ judge over all other so called ‘gods' V. 1-2Verse 1 is so intriguing, and made more so in the Hebrew language, where the same Hebrew word Elohim (H430) is translated ‘God' at the beginning of the verse and ‘gods' at the end, with the word El (H410) in the middle translated ‘mighty.' It is a great reminder that the ______________________ a word appears in often forces our interpretive options. Anyone want to guess what the 4 interpretive options for “gods” at the end of verse 1might be?Whatever is meant by “gods” in verse 1, the point is clear – God is the Ultimate Judge over all of those who are put forward as rulers and judges over others. In the end those ________________________ ‘judges' will be judged by Him! God is a just judge, and God is angry with the wicked every day. -Ps. 7:11The one true God does not side with the wicked the way these bad rulers do; no, He will judge the unrepentant wicked and unrepentant evil rulers who let the wicked prosper under their wicked rule.What God ______________________ of ‘god-like' rulers V. 3-4God expects ‘godly' rulers to defend and deliver the most vulnerable among the people they rule. Who are among the most vulnerable according to verses 3-4?What are the 4 commands in verses 3-4?In the beautiful Torah of the first 5 books of the Bible, Genesis through Deuteronomy, caring for the most vulnerable among them was a consistent expectation of God's people. The message of the prophets was often a _________________________ of leaders and people alike for failing to lead well. Isaiah 1:16-20 In Psalm 82 God is kind of sarcastically rebuking those who fashion themselves god-like leaders of others! It's as if He says, “Some kind of ‘gods' you are! You judge unjustly, you favor the wicked, but you don't defend, deliver, and do justly toward those who need you to do those things the most!” God states the truth about ‘_______________________' gods V. 5-7In v. 5 God _____________ all godless idols, people, and the demons backing them as being truly ignorant, foolishly walking in darkness and destabilizing the earth the way Satan did in the Garden of Eden. Who do you think God is going after in verses 6-7?The true problem behind all false ‘gods' is _______________________!Isaiah 14:12-21 Ezekiel 28:11-19Note what verse 7 teaches – the Real God will _______________________ fall or die, but false rulers, false prophets, false gods, and false angels (demons) all will! John 10:31-39In John 10:34 Jesus cites Psalm 82:7 as He chastises the Pharisees for their pride and acting as the religious judges of Him. They were acting like ‘gods' and were even trying to ____________________ to death Jesus their true God. That's what pride does – misses worship of the one true God, and sets up god substitutes that allow all manner of sin to follow. The Psalmist ends with a prayer for God to rule on earth V. 8Verse 8 is a “a call back” to Psalm 2! Remember that Psalms 1-2 set the _____________________ for every Psalm that follows. Psalm 2 Questions?

Luke 13:10-17; “Real Meets Ritual” Jesus is the Real Deal! He is the Messiah. He really desires that we know Him more and more and spend eternity with Him. So what does the Real Jesus have to say to us today?  Today's story in Luke tells how Jesus was in a synagogue teaching and there was a woman in attendance that had been crippled by a spirit for 18 years and was bent over and could not straighten up. (Note not possessed by a spirit but crippled by a spirit.) Luke recognizes that there is a spiritual dimension to our world. This was not just a physical illness.  Jesus does something surprising. He calls the woman to come up to Him. He understands her plight, says, “Woman, you are set free from your infirmity.” The Word of Jesus is a word of power! When He speaks, even the demonic spirits listen!  He laid His hands on her. Don't you wonder what that was like to experience the loving hands of Jesus on her? Then she immediately straightened up and praised God because she was healed but also because she understood the Living God, come to earth, spoke a word of power that defeated the 18 years demonic hold.  How does this story call us today to re-evaluate our worldview and what is real? Challenge #1 Will we accept a Biblical or Western worldview?  Today the Western worldview dominates even within Christian circles. The Bible tells us there is an ongoing spiritual war. There are demons, though not responsible for every difficulty or trial, we are to be discerning, to seek God first, trusting that he is real and can be relied upon.  We are called to adopt a Biblical worldview and allow the scriptures to guide and direct our thinking, to allow God's Word to speak into our lives.  Our God is real and desires to move in real ways in our lives. He is challenging us in the Western world to set aside a ritual understanding of the Christian faith and to adopt a Biblical worldview, to take him seriously.  Continuing with today's story - after seeing the miraculous healing (done by Jesus on the Sabbath) the synagogue leaders are angry - Basically, after seeing divine power manifested before them, the leaders' reaction is that this is not what we do  in our worship time! The leaders say there are 6 other days in the week for healing, so he told the people to come then, we are not to work (heal) on the Sabbath. Thereby accusing Jesus of sinning by doing the healing on the Sabbath.  However, Jesus does not let this stand and He says, “You hypocrites! Don't you each on the Sabbath untie (unbind) your ox and donkey from the stall and walk them to water.” (This was considered work on the Sabbath). Jesus continues, “Then shouldn't this woman bound 18 years be set free on the Sabbath?” Meaning, they will loosen the bonds on their animals on the Sabbath but then turn around and say it's wrong to loosen the bonds of this woman on the Sabbath.  It's not about the rituals, it's about encountering the Living God, the Real God who: Transforms Heals  Forgives  Is gracious and merciful  And who calls His children to Real Life  Challenge #2  Will we receive and believe the Real Jesus or will we simply go along with the church culture?  Church culture today says come to church and then go back to life as usual. It says accept yourself the way you are and don't judge anything or anyone. It says it doesn't matter what you do - just be happy. Basically it says, give God lip service and then go back to your life.  This is not what God calls us to - His message is a message of truth and it is life changing! When we receive Him as Savior our lives are forever changed. We too are delivered like the woman bound by the demonic spirit we are delivered from demonic spirits, demonic teachings and demonic beliefs.  Jesus is asking us to move beyond a mere church culture and recognize Him for who he is, our Savior, Healer, Deliverer, our Lord, the One who frees us from the bonds of sin, death and the devil and gives instead Life and Hope!  Today our culture calls truth evil and lies good. Jesus is asking us to turn our back on that kind of culture and instead to hear His voice calling us to Himself.  He calls us from ritual to relationship!  He does the miraculous:  Redeems  Restores  Renews And He offers Real Life!  Check out our website – everything we offer is FREE!! https://www.awakeusnow.com Watch the video from our website! https://www.awakeusnow.com/2-year-study-of the-gospels-upper  Watch the video from our YouTube Channel!! https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLTaaqrC3dMOzMkhPyiNWwlJRpV6Bwpu01 St. Luke's Account is part three of our Two Year Study of the Gospels.
