Q3 Lesson 13 - God's Magnet

Have you ever been scared of something, like a loud thunderstorm or a big dog? Elisha's servant was afraid. But Elisha knew what to do. “Pray for each other.” JAMES 5:16, NIV. We help others when we pray for them.

Join Rob McConnell as he welcomes Barbara Camp, author of On the Seventh Day God Rested: 33 New Lessons from the Old Testament, for a lively and unconventional journey through the Bible. Published in 2007, Camp's book takes 33 familiar Old Testament stories and connects their timeless themes with modern life, blending faith, humour, cultural observation and personal reflection. Her appearance with Rob on The 'X' Zone is preserved in the show's archives under On the Seventh Day God Rested. Barbara Camp's road to becoming a spiritual author was anything but conventional. Raised in the Midwest, she studied Interior Design at the University of Illinois before spending years in Milan, London and Paris working as a fashion-industry makeup artist. She eventually settled in New York City. Camp says she repeatedly read the Bible in its entirety before writing her first book, approaching Scripture with the creative eye of an artist and the curiosity of someone determined to discover how ancient Biblical lessons might speak to contemporary readers. In On the Seventh Day God Rested, Camp draws unexpected parallels between Scripture and contemporary society. The Tower of Babel becomes an opportunity to consider modern communications and excessive cellphone use; Samson and Delilah opens a discussion about feminism; the Creation of Adam is connected with DNA; Daniel in the Lions' Den is compared with the world of Wall Street; and the temptation in the Garden of Eden is placed against a modern Middle Eastern backdrop. Camp describes the result as a way of making Biblical truths accessible to the Bible scholar, the spiritually curious and even the skeptic. The book also features a foreword by actor William Petersen, known for CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. Join Rob McConnell and Barbara Camp on The 'X' Zone Radio Show for a conversation about God, faith, Scripture, spirituality and what ancient Biblical stories might still teach us in the modern world. In an age filled with technology, information and constant distraction, have we become so busy listening to everything around us that we've forgotten how to listen for something deeper? On the Seventh Day God Rested invites readers—and listeners—to look again at stories thousands of years old and consider whether God's fingerprints might still be visible in the world around us.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-x-zone-radio-tv-show--1078348/support.Please note that all CANCOM/XZBN radio and/or television shows are Copyright © REL-MAR McConnell Meda Company, Niagara, Ontario, Canada – www.rel-mar.com.

Think of a time a tough situation made you wonder how much God loved you. Maybe it was a hard time at school or in your own home. Joshua faced a rather large problem too.

Do you complain about what's for supper? I hope not! But I think if you were a student at the school Elisha visited, you might have a good reason to complain about the stew. “For I will surely show you kindness.” 2 SAMUEL 9:7, NIV God helps us see and sup

Have you ever watched the winning team at school and wished you could be a part of it? Did you feel as if you justweren't special enough to be on it? Can you imagine the feeling of having the captain come up to you and say, "Hey, I want you on my team?"

Have you ever visited a friend's house and been given good food to eat and a comfortable place to sleep? A woman did that for Elisha. “If one falls down, his friend can help him up.” ECCLESIASTES 4:10, NIV God's people are kind to one another.

Final observations & conclusions. My own "non-negotiables" on this subject.

The Reformers do not reform everything that Rome created. And a century by century record of those who kept the seventh day.

We live in a culture obsessed with outrunning time, productivity, and efficiency—often defining our worth by what we can manufacture and produce. Yet, in our relentless drive to build our own identity and master time, we quietly lose our humanity. When we write our own purpose, we override our calling as image-bearers and reduce our God-given worth to mere utility.Unlike ancient mythologies like the Enuma Elish, where humans were created as slaves for gods to rest, Genesis reveals a God who creates humanity out of love and speaks directly to them. We were created on the sixth day, making humanity's first full day the Seventh Day—a day of Sabbath rest, communion, and celebration. Sabbath is not a reward earned by work, but the ancient garden framework (Eden, meaning "pleasure") where our identity is rooted in God's presence before we ever perform a single task. Through the cross, Jesus stepped past the flaming sword, offering us paradise and inviting us back into unhurried, restored fellowship with the Father.Support the show

Rome takes over and makes the new "Sabbath" a law which if broken is punishable by excommunication and death.

Constantine. Was he a true Christian or a politically savvy Emperor who saw a way to power over an Empire that was now saturated with the Christian message?

Has your family ever asked to borrow something from a neighbor? Some flour, or perhaps a tool? A poor widow once borrowed some unusual things. “Elisha replied, . . . ‘How can I help you?' ” 2 KINGS 4:2, NIV. God's people care for one another.

The church continues to change. The seventh day, and Jewishness in general, is left behind by the Gentile church.

Very early, changes crept into the church's teachings. We look at the ante-Nicene church fathers. Only one kept the seventh day sabbath.

We finish the Biblical mention of Sabbaths with a careful look at Colossians, Hebrews, and Revelation. Is there a change of the 4th commandment indicated in any of this?

If God never becomes tired or weary, why does Genesis say that He rested? Pastor Roger explains what God's rest really means and how it points toward the completed work of creation and the finished work of Jesus Christ. Have you had a Bible question you've never quite gotten a straight answer to? Join us for an engaging Q&A session led by Pastor Roger Pettay. He received wonderful questions submitted by members of our local church family and answered them using biblical truths. We hope this special Q&A gives us an opportunity to learn, grow, and gain a deeper understanding of God's Word and how it applies to our lives. Let's listen, reflect, and enjoy this meaningful time together! #Creation #Sabbath #GodsRest #BibleQuestions #FinishedWork #ChristianFaith #ChristianPodcast #PastorRogerPettay #ExaltChurchVA

A look at the 10 commandments as repeated in the New Testament. The 4th commandment is not there, but neither is it abrogated. What says the Spirit?

Hints, but by no means reasons, for thinking that seventh day was switched to first day.

Jesus clarifies but does not cancel the Sabbath, per John's Gospel. Then we see Jews and Gentiles meeting on the Sabbath in the book of Acts!

More from the Gospel accounts of Jesus' keeping of the Sabbath, God's way.

Have you ever promised someone that you would do something for them and then forgotten all about it? What happened? Did that person ever forgive you?

Do you want to go to heaven? What do you want to see there? What do you want to do? Elijah wanted to go too “God . . . gives power and strength to his people.” PSALM 68:35, NIV. God gives us power.

Matthew. We examine the entire Gospel and find no abrogation of the Sabbath, rather, condemnations about the way it was being kept in Jesus' day.

Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Amos, Zechariah... all agree about how serious is the matter of obeying all of God's Law. Also we see how that Law is applied to the heart under the New Covenant. And Zechariah sees the Sabbath in our furture, in the Millennial reign of Jesus.

One of the Psalms was written specifically for the Sabbath. And, Isaiah is very specific about the practice of Sabbath worship in the Millennium, when Gentiles and Jews alike observe it.

The Sabbath. In Leviticus: Listed with the serious principles God wants His people to remember. In Numbers: A demonstration of how God must deal with those who break HIs laws. In Deuteronomy: Celebrate your deliverance!

The Sabbath in Exodus: Before and after Sinai, a commission to the people of God called Israel to keep the Sabbath forever. A part of the moral law of the "10".

The Sabbath came 2,500 years before the Law!
