By [wbt_preacher_link preacher=”Vince Finnegan”] Acts 1:1-11   Acts reveals a new spiritual order. God gave the ascended Jesus “all authority in heaven and earth.” Matthew 28:18-20   Before the ascension, Yahweh worked with the four living creatures, the seven spirits, 24 elders, and the countless angels. Ephesians 1:18-23   Jesus is the head of the church. Hebrews 1:1-4   Jesus is not above Yahweh, rather alongside carrying out his Father's will. In Acts, we see God at work with His Son through Jesus' disciples. Luke 24:49   God's power is given to each follower doing His work in the world. Acts 2:1-4   The holy spirit provides God's power within each believer. Acts 2:1-4, 15-18, 22-24, 33-36   Jesus is anointed prophet, priest, and king. We see God reigning in His Son through his disciples with holy spirit. Acts 2:36-39   God is at work within His people. “For it is God who is at work in you, both to will and to work for His good pleasure” (Phi 2:13). Acts 3:1-16 Acts 5:12-16, 28-32   God is working in His people just as He did in the Gospels through His Son. John 14:23, 26The post God According to Acts first appeared on Living Hope.

Genesis 1:1   The word “God” occurs 32 times in Genesis chapter one and thus draws attention to the most important reality of our lives – GOD IS! Exodus 3:13-14   “I am” derived from the Hebrew verb “hayah” meaning “to be” and is wisely translated “I am,” for the word denotes past, present, and future. When God said to Moses “I am who I am,” in essence He was saying I am the existing one, the eternal one, and the present one. Our God's name is Yahweh ─ Exodus 6:6-8; 8:28; 10:8,16,17; 20:2, 5, 7,10,12 Yahweh is The Creator ─ Genesis 1:1; Exodus 20:11; 31:17; Revelation 4:11 Yahweh is the Most High God ─ Genesis 14:18-20; Deuteronomy 10:17, 18 Yahweh knows the future ─ Genesis 15:13-14 Yahweh is Just ─ Deuteronomy 32:3-4; Genesis 18:25 Yahweh is everywhere present ─ Deuteronomy 20:1-4; 31:6-8 Yahweh is Holy ─ Leviticus 11:44, 45; 19:2; 20:7, 26; 21:8 Yahweh is a covenant keeper ─ Genesis 17:1-8 Seek God, and you will find Him.  Deuteronomy 4:29; Exodus 33:18-19; Yahweh is compassionate, gracious, abounding in lovingkindness and truth, and  forgiving ─ Exodus 34:6-7 Yahweh is faithful ─ Deuteronomy 7:9 He is also our provider, healer, director, protector.The post God According to the Torah first appeared on Living Hope.

Genesis 3:14 and 4:4   From the beginning, God's righteous plan was that innocent blood must be sacrificed for the sins of the guilty to be remitted. Hebrew 11:17-19   Abraham, the father of faith, offered sacrifices including his son. Exodus 12:27-31   The innocent blood of the lamb protected Israel from the angel of death and freed them from their bondage. Leviticus reveals the sacrifices necessary for the temporary release of sins. Hebrews 9:1ff   Examples, shadows, types, and patterns are words that reveal the righteous plan of God with Jesus on the cross.

Romans 3:21-26   We are redeemed, reconciled, justified, made righteous with the blood of Jesus by the God of justice. Romans 5:1, 6-21   Adam's influence on humanity was also a type for Jesus' influence on those who believe.

Romans 3:22-26   Jesus paid the price for our redemption and the forgiveness of our sins. 1 Kings 8:46-51; Ezekiel 18:27- 32   God has always made a way for His people to escape from sin. David, Manasseh, Nebuchadnezzar, Judas, and Paul are all examples of our gracious, merciful, forgiving God. Luke 15: 7, 10, 20-25   Joy in heaven over one sinner who repents. God loves it when we repent and come home to Him. Ephesians 4:17-24   We still have the old you alongside the new you, so we struggle with sin. 2 Corinthians 7:8-11   Godly sorrow (mourning) leads to repentance, whereas condemnation does not. 1 John 1: 8-10   God is not shocked that you sin and made a pathway for forgiveness and cleansing. Matthew 6: 9-13   Judas remained sin conscience and therefore gave up. 1 John 3:21-23   If our heart condemns us, we will not have confidence before God. Romans 8:1-9   Dwelling on your sin, guilt, condemnation does not resolve your sin; rather, it causes you to stay in sin. Light dispels darkness. If you are dogged by habitual sin, seek help from God and a brother or sister.The post Repentance first appeared on Living Hope.

Jesus' disciple is one who stays in his word. Luke 8:11-15   There are four responses to our Lord's word. But the seed in the good soil, these are the ones who have heard the word in an honest and good heart, and hold it fast, and bear fruit with perseverance. Matthew 28:18-20   Discipling includes helping others to be immersed in Yahweh our Father, Jesus Christ our Lord, and the holy spirit. 1 Thessalonians 2:3-13   We are to handle people like a nursing mother and concerned father would do. Galatians 6:1-10   People ultimately decide their own walk; however, we can all use the help of others. 2 Timothy 2:24-26 Matthew 28:18-20   The best way of learning is one on one. John 10:11   Jesus is the good shepherd and our example of how to disciple others. Jesus invited his disciples to join him in his life. Hospitality – John 1:38-39; Mark 2:1ff  They came to his home. They went to a wedding together. John 2:1ff He went to the disciples' place of work.

Children, if you want your life to be well-pleasing to the Lord, if you want your life to go well and want to live long, then honor and obey your parents. Proverbs 22:15   Children need help. They are born with a sinful nature. Exodus 20:12   Honor and respect coincide with our relationship with God. Deuteronomy 6:1-9:11:19   Parents, every situation in life is an opportunity to teach your children. Proverbs 6:20-23; 13:24; 22:6, 15; 23:13, 14; 29:15   People who fail to learn honor, obedience, and discipline have a difficult and often an unhappy life as adults. 2 Timothy 3:16   Doctrine, reproof, and correction Matthew 15:3-6; 1 Timothy 5:1-5   When parents are in the sunset years of life, their children are to continue to provide honor and help as the parents did when you were young.

Romans 3:9-18 3   “Lusts of the flesh” are the longings and impulses of the self-centered life, Romans 8:4-9; Galatians 5:16-21. Selfishness is not limited to the emotions but embrace intellect and reasoning processes as well. Unbelievers are subject to the wrath of God (Romans 3:19; Ephesians 5:5-6; Colossians 3:5-6; 1 Thessalonians 1:10). 4-5   God's mercy, love, and grace are the only possible way out for those who are totally unworthy and undeserving. “Us” relates back to 1:1, the faithful saints (John 3:16; 1 John 4:9-10). 6   We were raised up with him and seated with Him in the spiritual realm.  Ephesians 1:19-21   We are in Christ, empowered by him to be like him.

It occurs 8 times (1:2; 2:14, 15, 17 20; 4:3; 6:15, 23). 3   “Blessed” is the Greek word eulogetos and means well-spoken of. We get the English “eulogize” from this word (1:6, 12, and 14). Verse 2 states the relationship we have with God and Jesus; verse 3 states the relationship God has with Jesus. “Heavenly places” is the invisible spiritual environment or realm, as contrasted with the visible, tangible environment we call earth. 4-5   God loves you, called you, and wants you. God desires a love relationship with you that is real, personal, and everlasting. The “us” is those to whom the Epistle is addressed: 1:1 to the saints, the faithful in Christ Jesus, those who have already responded to the call.  Our freewill choice is not predetermined by God; (2 Chronicles 15:2, 4, 15; Matthew 7:7-11; Deuteronomy 4:29; Proverbs 8:17). The point is by God's grace, not your work, you are called and made to be His child. 7   Israel's freedom from the slavery of Egypt is a type for our redemption (Exodus 15:13; Deuteronomy 7:8; Romans 3:24; Colossians 1:14). 8   Lavished his grace upon us – the Greek verb used expresses the superabundance of God's giving, the overflow as of a fountain from a deep and abundant source. 9   The great mystery is a major topic of the Epistle that will be revealed. We are reminded over and over the blessings we have are according to God's kindness. 10   When all the times and seasons which the Father has determined are full, the age-long purpose which He planned in Christ will attain its fullness.

By [wbt_preacher_link preacher=”Vince Finnegan”] Isaiah 53 foretells God's plan of salvation through Jesus Christ with magnificent clarity. The crux of the revelation is that the sinless Messiah is the sacrificial offering as the substitutionary payment for the sins of all humanity, thereby providing atonement (reconciliation) with God for all those who believe. Isaiah 52:10   God's plan for our salvation is set forth Isaiah 52:13   Before the servant's suffering is set forth, his victorious glory is foretold. In 53:10, after the sufferings are described, his glory again is stated. Isaiah 52:14   Uncharacteristically in the Scriptures, Jesus' appearance is stated twice, here and 53:2 Isaiah 52:15   His form was so disfigured that he no longer resembled a man. Isaiah 53:1-2   Jesus looked like a regular guy. Isaiah 53:3   The Hebrew word for “sorrows” is also translated pain (2 Chronicles 6:29; Job 33:19; and Psalm 69:26…). The Hebrew word that is translated “grief” in verses 3 and 4 occurs 24 times and only here as “grief.” Everywhere else it is sickness (15), illness (3), disease (1), and affliction (1). Our understanding of  “grief” is much different than sickness or illness. Isaiah 53:4   The word “grief” could have been translated “sickness,” and the word “sorrows” as “pain.” Isaiah 53:5   Well-being is the Hebrew word “shalom” and most often is rendered as “peace.” However, “shalom” has a fuller meaning than just peace. It is an overall sense of fulness, soundness, and completeness in mind, body, and estate. Matthew 8:16-17   The context is unquestionably physical healing and is a quotation from Isaiah 53:4. 1 Peter 2:24   The book of Peter connects another verse with Isaiah 53. The Greek word “sozo” is most often translated saved and considered to refer to spiritual salvation, the new birth, eternal life, but like the word “shalom,” it has a fuller meaning that includes physical healing and deliverance.

Matthew 1:5 – Her name was Rahab. 20   The words “closest relative” could be translated “redeemer” and is best understood as “kinsmen-redeemer”. The ESV translated it “one of our redeemers”. As a kinsman-redeemer, under the Mosaic Law, Boaz could fulfill the duty of preserving the name of the dead by marrying Ruth. The responsibilities of the redeemer included: Numbers 35:19 The word “revenger” is the same word “kinsman-redeemer”. He is to avenge the death of a murdered relative. Deuteronomy 25:5-10 He is to marry the childless widow of his deceased brother.  1 Timothy 5 25:25 He is to buy back family land that had been sold. 25:47-49  He is to buy a family member who had been sold as a slave. 25:35 He is to look after needy and helpless members of the family; let them live with you if need be.

God's point of view, regardless of ours, is the truth. 2:11-12   In this state, we groped about in life trying to connect to some identity that provided some kind of significance.

He wants a genuine love relationship with His children; therefore, He wants all to be saved and come to a knowledge of the truth. John 13:34-35   The attraction of the love we manifest to each other stands out as a beacon of light in a very dark world. Galatians 6:9-10   We are God's family and are connected by love and concern for one another. Deuteronomy 4:9-10; 6:1, 2, 6, 7, 18-25   God emphatically instructs us to pass the truth about Him on to the next generations. Matthew 18:1-5   The capacity for people to learn seems to be its best when we are children. Children learn a language basically by listening to others and simple instruction given by parents and caregivers. Jesus gives the total reversal of human value scales. Children were normally attended to after others, not looked up to as of primary significance. Matthew 19:13-15; Mark 10:13-16   Humility, innocence, receptiveness, or trustfulness Matthew 21:15-16   The children got it! Acts 2:38 and 39 Psalm 78:1-7   One of the most effective ways to align with God's desire is to teach our children. This exhortation is not only to parents but to the family of God. Jesus did not have biological children. Pro. 22:6 Deuteronomy 24:17-22   The frequent concern God expresses for orphans must be acknowledged. Many of us were raised by parents who did not know the Scriptures and the concepts of godliness, so in a sense, we were spiritual orphans.The post Reaching Children first appeared on Living Hope.

You cannot make that happen, nor should you try. 2 Chronicles 15:2, 4, and 15   God honors free will, and so must we. Matthew 5:14-16; Philippians 2:15-16   Light attracts people to, and hypocrisy drives people away from God. John 13:34-35   Love is the light that attracts people. Arrogance, condescension, superiority, judgmentalism, condemnation, being controlling, and being bossy are behaviors that will drive away most people, especially alcoholics and addicts who generally are very rebellious. Humility, approachability, relatability, acceptance, compassion, and loving encouragement draw people. Very few people really care about others. Numbers 13:24-33; Deuteronomy 9:13   People need help accepting four imperative realities:  1) I need help, 2) I cannot help myself, 3) the Almighty God of love wants to help, 4) I must seek His help.

They must discipline their tongue and have wisdom. 2 Peter 1:19-2:3; 1 John 4:1; Matthew 7:15-20 Galatians 1:6-9   Teachers will incur a stricter judgment. 1 Timothy 5:17-18   All of us should teach our children, grandchildren, friends, neighbors, etc. The conversation here in James pertains to those who steer the congregation.

LHIM Weekly Bible Teachings

By [wbt_preacher_link preacher=”Vince Finnegan”] The Epistle was probably the first written after Jesus' ascension and before Paul revealed the mystery. Many themes correspond with the Sermon on the Mount. First sent to the Christian Jews who dispersed from Israel into Asia Minor, this letter contains many practical concepts of truth which are applicable to all believers. Three vital principles we will focus on are: 1) trials can strengthen our relationship with God; 2) personal accountability; and 3) we must do the word, not just hear it. 1:1-2   Trials are something that test a person's endurance or forbearance. This is translated in the KJV and in the NASB in verse 13 as temptation or tempted. Two major types are tribulation (John 16:33; Romans 8:35) and lust (James 1:14-15). Every time we resist trials by seeking God's help, we strengthen our relationship with Him, thereby causing joy. 3-4   “Perfect and complete, lacking in nothing” are 3 ways of saying the same thing. 5   James 3:13-17 – Two different kinds of wisdom 6   Godly faith is always founded upon God's words, written or revelation. 8   Double-mindedness is switching back and forth between human wisdom and God's wisdom, just like the waves of the sea. 9-11   The poor tend toward humility, and the rich toward pride. Even the rich will face the humiliation of death (Psalm 49). God works with the humble but resists the proud. James 4:6-10; 1 Peter 5:5 12   Those who persevere under trial will receive the crown of life (zoe). Romans 8:35-39 15   One of the great keys to Christian living is personal accountability. People, nor circumstances, nor situations determine our inner life. We do by how we respond. The great deception we all face is believing that outside things determine our inside realities. Consider Jesus on the cross, Paul in Acts 16, and Philippians 1. 17   Father of lights – Psalm 36:9; No variation or shifting shadow. Deuteronomy 32:3-4; Lamentations 3:22-23 18-21   Anger does not bring God's righteousness; the implanted word does. 22-27   Be doers, not hearers only. If your knowledge of God does not result in love for God and love for others, something is not right.The post James One first appeared on Living Hope.

Rejoicing the heart Enlightening the eyes Acts 17:11 Meekness in this context is receptivity toward God and the things of God. Meekness is acceptance of God’s will without being argumentative and without stubborn resistance. It is a willing setting aside of our own thoughts, opinions, and ideas for God’s. Simply stated, it is the willingness to listen, hear, and do God’s will. Psalm 119:33-44 James 1:21-22 Receive the Word implanted. insert or fix (tissue or an artificial object) in a person's body, especially by surgery. Sin impedes our ability to hear. Regard the word of God as food for your soul Romans 13:11-12 Road blocks - TIME UNWILLINGNESS TO CHANGE We hinder growth by limiting God to our meager framework of understanding. How could anyone ever think his or her own knowledge is complete and refuse to learn more? Yet, this is a common deception to which many fall prey. Often an honest, sincere desire to believe, think, and speak accurately about God moves to a presumptuous conviction that our beliefs contain the whole truth about God. This has the practical effect of confining God to our understanding. The honest, sincere desire to be right slips into narrow-mindedness or closed-mindedness. We become deceived into not considering anything other than what we believe to be the truth. In doing so, we think we are taking a stand for God! From this posture of mind, it is a very small step to criticize, condemn, and fear all those who believe differently than we do. “Surely they must be wrong because they do not believe what I believe.” Too often, we perceive other sincere, committed Christians as a threat because their beliefs are different from ours. Therefore, we think we must avoid them. Our convoluted thinking moves to: “how can we fellowship with someone standing outside the proper theological structure and thus outside God!” This mind set opposes meekness, closes God out, and causes division in the family of God. We all have to fight the fear of being wrong or of having been wrong. Regarding God, many people would rather stay ignorant in their wrong beliefs than concede they have been wrong. Retain with Conviction Luke 8:15 bear fruit with perseverance. 1 Corinthians 15:1-2 2 Timothy 2:15 work the word Study using my books Memorize the word Speak the Word Release with Boldness 1 Timothy 2:1-4; 2 Timothy 4:1-4 The greatest way to retain with conviction is to release with boldness.

Luke 24:49 The promise of the Father is to be clothed with power. Acts 1:4-5 “Clothed” in Luke is similar to “baptized” in Acts. The power that the promise brings is not minuscule, rather huge, encompassing everything about your new life in Christ. You have power! 6-8 The promise of the Father is to receive power with the holy spirit. The spirit empowers you to be a witness of Christ. The life you now live shines forth the resurrected Christ. You are not the same, and others can see the difference in you. Matthew 5:13-16 The lifestyle that Jesus put forth in the Sermon of the Mount could not be implemented in full force until the spirit came, but once the power was given, believers were empowered to live the godly life that Jesus himself lived. We are now empowered to live like he did. Romans 8:5-6 Flesh = death; spirit = life and peace 7- 8 Flesh is hostile toward God and cannot please Him. 11 We now have a life-giving spirit that is life in all its aspects.

The fight we have with the flesh is fueled by the evil one, who is called the tempter and the accuser. He tries to trap us in an unvirtuous cycle. We must use our God-given power to get off the merry-go-round. 12-15 The evil one also uses intimidation like fear to keep us in slavery, but the chains are broken; the prison door is wide open. Walk out! 2 Timothy 1:7; 1 John 4:18; Hebrews 2:14 Romans 8:16-18 God has our back. 28-39 This is who we are; this is what we have; this is what we will be. Do not believe the lie. You have the power to live as a conqueror. Acts 1:8 Be a witness

Isaiah 52:13; 53:8 No one knew what the plan was, the substitutionary sacrifice of our Lord. His resurrection certifies that: Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God. Romans 1:1-3 The war has been won; Yahweh is the victor. Genesis 3:15; Revelation 5:11-14 The end is sealed. Revelation 20:10-15 The devil and all evil will be annihilated forever. Jesus is now the exalted one like Isaiah 52:13 said. Revelation 19:11-16 He comes again as King of kings and Lord of lords. Philippians 2:6-11 He will be exalted higher than anyone except Yahweh. Mark 14:62 And Jesus said, "I am; and you shall see THE SON OF MAN SITTING AT THE RIGHT HAND OF POWER, and COMING WITH THE CLOUDS OF HEAVEN." We have a new life today. Romans 6:1-11 Jesus is the first fruits; we will follow. 1 Corinthians 15:20-23, 51-55 What does resurrection mean to you? - You no longer have condemnation. Roman 8:1 - You have been redeemed. Colossians 1:13-14 - You are forgiven. Acts 28:18; Ephesians 1:7 - You have been reconciled back to God. 2 Corinthians 5:17, 18 - You are the righteousness of God in Christ. - You are holy. Ephesian 1:4; Colossians 1:20 - You have a purpose much bigger than living for yourself - loving God, loving others, and the ministry of reconciliation. Acts 2:22-32; 3:11-16
