What is wisdom? What is righteousness? Who are the primary role-models in wisdom and righteousness in the Old Testament, and how do they point us to Christ? As we conclude our last episode in our Gospel Spice Proverbs series, Stephanie invites us to take a final look at what righteousness and wisdom truly are, and then we will gaze at the Face of Him who is our righteousness. We ponder perseverance and endurance in the faith in our struggle against lust--in whatever form. Make sure to check out the optional-but-oh-so-helpful mini e-book to go along with the series at gospelspice.com/wisdom On righteousness: Proverbs talks a lot about the righteous and the wicked, the lazy, the fool. It teaches by example—what is righteous by showing what is wicked.  The moment you accept Christ, life does not become a stroll in the park. Perseverance in your faith is the hallmark of your faithfulness. Your authenticity is proven by your walk. The walk of faith is a slow transformation with lots of roadblocks and dead-ends and detours, many coming from the past – past idols trying to trip you up in guilt and shame. But you are a new creation in Christ. You are the Bride of Christ, pure and blameless and spotless and righteous—not on your own strength but HIDDEN IN HIM. If you think that conversion is a fast-pass to transformation, you are in for a deception. Faith is slow-cooked more often than it is pressure-cooked, though both happen. Righteousness is valuing God above all else. It means that ethics and morality find their source in respecting God as the ultimate worth. Righteousness is more than doing the “right” thing: righteousness is valuing God as ultimate in all things. Valuing God as ultimate in all things is the ultimate right thing, and that is what makes you righteous in His eyes. Our righteousness is exhibited when we too value and respect the worth of God without wavering and upholding it in all that we do, to the nest of our strength in Christ. In other words, We as humans are to practice righteousness towards the goal of obtaining it, knowing it is already ours in Christ. On wisdom: Solomon was the wisest king who ever lived, yet we have seen that he didn't end so well. The consequences cannot be overstated. Proverbs extols wisdom associated with a man who, by everyone's judgment, was considered wise and is so to the present day. Yet he failed to live by wisdom. The result is further affirmation of the testimony of the Law, that our hope is in One. Even so great a force as wisdom, when it is nurtured and embraced, cannot rescue us from the evil that resides in our hearts. Solomon's details and bad ending, moral of the story: even the wisest man, apart from Christ, is not wise enough. “The universal Voice of God was by the ancient Hebrews often called wisdom.” (A.W. Tozer, The Pursuit of God) “This habit of explaining the Voice by appeals to natural law is at the very root of modern science. In the living, breathing cosmos there is a mysterious Something, too wonderful for any mind to understand. The believing man does not claim to understand. He falls to his knees and whispers, “God.” The man of the earth kneels, too, but not to worship. He kneels to examine, to search, to find the cause and the how of things.” A.W. Tozer Folly is looking for an explanation in the dirt of the earth, under the sun. Wisdom is knowing that God will be found above the sun. And so, wisdom, the voice of God, calls and searches the one who wants to cultivate their spiritual heart. If you have ever experienced inexplicable loneliness, or otherworldly longing, or a feeling of awe and wonder, a moment of light and lightness – that is the Voice of God guiding your spiritual heart to find your rest in Him. On wisdom from above, in the Face of Christ Jesus: Jesus describes the wisdom that is from above in His Sermon on the Mount. Take the Beatitudes and write them in reverse – you will get the wisdom from the world: accumulate riches. Be selfish. Be on the lookout for Number One. Live for this world alone. Jesus is not offering an opinion here. Jesus never gives opinions. He gives truth. HE KNOWS. His wisdom is not from under the sun like Solomon's. His wisdom is not the result of his study of human nature or nature itself. Jesus gives truth because He is fully God. He is speaking from within the intimacy of the Trinity.  His words are not opinions. They are truth. The Sermon on the Mount is Jesus' definition of wisdom that is from above. So, worship God, who is from above the sun. Worship Christ, the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature. This is taken from Hebrews 1:1-5, which tells us that God spoke wisdom through the Old Testament, in Proverbs for example, but that He went all out in Christ: "Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world. He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power. After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, having become as much superior to angels as the name he has inherited is more excellent than theirs." ---------------Note to PARENTS--------------- We CARE about your family!! As usual, Stephanie brings in a fictitious character to illustrate our theme. This week's trait is lust. Therefore, the initial illustration, while not explicit, might not be for the youngest ears--unless you are ready to answer spicy questions about intimate relations. Stephanie's mention is brief, but an inquisitive little heart may pick up on questions worth asking! Decide for yourself when to best listen to the first 5 minutes of this episode! Make sure to check out the optional-but-oh-so-helpful mini e-book to go along with the series at gospelspice.com/wisdom MORE ABOUT OUR FICTIONAL GUESTS Over the last few weeks, we have sought to cultivate God-centered hope, faith and joy by pondering wisdom from the Book of Proverbs. We have followed fictitious characters who have role-modeled various options open to us as believers. Today, we will conclude our series by highlighting key takeaways from each one. Samantha has shown us what foolishness is, so that we could know what wisdom from above means. We have seen that embracing Wisdom will bring us knowledge and discernment. We have learned how wisdom undergirds our God-breathed process towards deeper hope, faith and joy. Brian has exemplified the danger of refusing to let God be God. We called this “spiritual adultery,” and discovered guilt that leads to repentance and restoration. We have chosen to embrace integrity and truth in order to enjoy a clear conscience. Brian has shown us that our quest is rooted in our identity. Jessica lived a life rooted in fear and anxiety. She is learning to replace them with faith and trust. With her, we have chosen to embrace faith, as it will lead to peace and serenity. She would tell us that God's love for us is where our heart finds its rest. Lauren's life moved from self-pride to genuine humility. With her, we have embraced a Christ-centered humility that leads to God-honoring gratitude. With Lauren and Jessica, we have pondered this truth: fear stems from a delated view of God; pride stems from an inflated view of self. Eve chose to move away from her self-centered lifestyle, and towards selfless love. She has discovered that true God-grounded love leads to compassion. With her, we have identified the God-given challenge of the Christian life: to nurture our craving for the One who will never disappoint. John's life was deeply rooted in self-destructive greed. Idolatry happens when we love something—anything—more than God. We are all guilty. We all rob ourselves of joy when we choose greed. Because greed robs us of joy, we choose generosity and a purpose rooted in hope, faith and joy. Finally, Lizzie indulged in a lifestyle of selfish numbing and comfortable little pleasures. She created for herself a bubble that isolated her from the real world God had been inviting her to take her place in. We pondered the importance of self-control as the means to the life of freedom that God has for us. Hope, faith and joy are the expression of this God-given, God-glorifying freedom. Through all of them, we have seen that, when we become serious about our intimacy with God, distractions, dangers and hindrances will come knocking. Our life is a spiritual battleground. Our hearts will either side with God, or with the enemy of our soul. Hope, faith and joy lie in the balance. They are the means to the great Reward of life itself: intimacy with God. Worship is the secret of a vibrant relationship with God. Worship is valuing Him as ultimate in all things. First, it means that hope, faith and joy will not grow in the soil of your life without cultivating a heart of gratitude. Also, it means that there cannot be true worship without complete surrender to God's sovereignty. That is spiritual wisdom. Surrender is not adopting a martyr's pose in submission; it is the glad agreement that God is right. Such faith is cheerful, joyful, and approving. Worship is embracing the truth that God is wise, and that we grow in hope, faith and joy under the shadow of His wings, His wisdom, His guidance.

Guardian Is this part of the Ai Beast System that will hunt down Christians under Idle Worship and the Noahide Laws? We need to Think about Ai Beast system / governance of Control: • CBDC, UBI, SCS, Carbon tracker, UN17SDG • Id2020 – you can't do anything bio mark • Vaccine Passports Don't take the mark of the Beast, will the ai Gospel hunt you down and will ai Gospel be tied to Noahide laws. This will happen after major false flag / real J$X persecution from the open borders triggered by the Gaza genocide. Why did Israel strike Bethlehem on Christmas? Are Rabis saying Christians are idle worshippers and deserve death and saying Edom is Rome and the West that is the foundation of Christianity. How does this tie to the Deagle report of massive death in the WEST. Jerusalem in the End of days Who is the whore and the women and what is the Great City? How does this tie to Old Testament Witch Craft. Noahide Laws Do not profane God's Oneness in any way. Acknowledge that there is a single God who cares about what we are doing and desires that we take care of His world. Worship Christ – off with your head Do not curse your Creator. No matter how angry you may be, do not take it out verbally against your Creator. Do not murder. The value of human life cannot be measured. To destroy a single human life is to destroy the entire world—because, for that person, the world has ceased to exist. It follows that by sustaining a single human life, you are sustaining an entire universe. Do not eat a limb of a still-living animal. Respect the life of all G‑d's creatures. As intelligent beings, we have a duty not to cause undue pain to other creatures. Do not steal. Whatever benefits you receive in this world, make sure that none of them are at the unfair expense of someone else. Opposite of what the Talmud teaches for them Harness and channel the human libido. Incest, adultery, rape and homosexual relations are forbidden. The family unit is the foundation of human society. Sexuality is the fountain of life and so nothing is more holy than the sexual act. So, too, when abused, nothing can be more debasing and destructive to the human being. Establish courts of law and ensure justice in our world. With every small act of justice, we are restoring harmony to our world, synchronizing it with a supernal order. That is why we must keep the laws established by our government for the country's stability and harmony. Free Mason Executors Noahide Laws with the UN and USA Dispensationalism Issues Dual Covenant Theology: Suggests separate salvation plans for Jews and Gentiles, elevating Jewish status and diminishing the Christians importance. Emphasis on Israel's Future: Focus on Israel's restoration distorts that only Christians (Jew Believers / OT Believers will restore the promise land) Distinct Roles: Dispensationalism's clear separation of Israel and Christians create a hierarchy, with Israel seemingly more significant. Misinterpretation & Division: Imposing dispensational divisions overlooks literary context, creates a false dichotomy between Israel and Christians, and distorts the continuity of God's redemptive plan. Gospel and Grace Distortion: Teaching different salvation methods in different dispensations undermines the unity of God's redemptive work and presents the Church as secondary or temporary. Rapture No Tribulation: Believes your out of here. Not going to happen for it is not in the Bible..

Series: A living Hope in a dying worldTitle: How to retaliate like Jesus Scripture: 1 Peter 3:8-17 NIVJohn 14:61 Peter 2:2-3James 1:2-4Matthew 5:11-121 Peter 3:18Bottom line: Jesus calls us to retaliate with blessing.SERMON OUTLINENOTESDISCUSSION QUESTIONSOUTLINESMAIN REFERENCES USEDSERMON OUTLINEIntroductionAn arm of our Milky Way Galaxy over the La Silla Observatory in northern Chile. The terms Milky Way and galaxy come from the Latin via lactea, or "the road of milk," derivative of the more ancient Greek term galaxias kyklos, or "milky circle." A luminou reminder that Jesus is "the Way" and His Word is like pure milk (John 14:6; 1 Peter 2:2-3)In 1807, John Newton, best known as composer of the hymn ‘Amazing Grace', encapsulated the amazing grace of God in some of his last words as he lay dying. He declared: ‘I am a great sinner but Christ is a great Saviour.'Jesus was insulted, persecuted and slandered by his enemies. How did Jesus retaliate? He didn't. Per ChatGPT: “No, Jesus is often portrayed as teaching non-retaliation and forgiveness. In the biblical narrative, particularly in the New Testament, Jesus is characterized as promoting love for enemies and responding to hostility with patience and compassion. The idea is rooted in teachings such as "turn the other cheek" and "love your enemies," emphasizing a non-retaliatory and forgiving approach.”Retaliation refers to the act of responding to an injury or harm with a corresponding injury or harm. It often involves seeking revenge or reprisal against someone who has wronged or harmed you.When I googled questions people are asking about retaliation, I learned at least 2 things:People don't know what the word means. (They're asking a lot)People are asking a lot about retaliation as it relates to the work place.How did Jesus retaliate?He retaliated the opposite to how the world retaliates:He forgave.He turned the other cheek. He blessed responding to evil with good.Let's look at the passage in detail and see all that Jesus had to say about how to live out our living hope in this dying world that tempts us to retaliate with evil.Outline (based on the Outline Bible)1 PETER 3—Peter talks about appropriate conduct for believers in light of what Christ has done for us.LAST WEEKI.

When he shook my hand, he held on and said, “Pastor, my daughter is in the Air Force, and she is being deployed to the Middle East.” He began to tremble, and tears rolled down his cheeks. It was a poignant moment. I sensed the fear and concern he had for his daughter. He was expressing what every parent feels when a son or daughter is called into the midst of warfare. He said to me, “Please pray for my daughter,” and I said, “Yes, of course.” At St. Andrew's, we have lists of people for whom we regularly pray, but this particular encounter was so urgent that I could not go to sleep that week without first pleading for his daughter before the Lord.

On this episode, we had a great discussion with BJ Putnam from Bethany Music (Baton Rouge, LA) about his journey to becoming a worship leader and songwriter. He shares helpful tips for worship leaders about avoiding the entanglements of fame. It was so encouraging to hear BJ's passion for composing vertical worship music that draws listeners closer to God.

In today's message, we walk through our series on Worship. What is it? How do we do it? Why do we do it? We all worship something—even if our worship looks like constantly catering to ourselves. However, if you ever want to enjoy the life you were made to enjoy, you've got to choose to get your mind off everything else and on what it was truly meant to worship: God.Did you enjoy the message?

Sermon Title: “Faithful Mourning: How to Walk by Faith When You Lose a Loved One” Text: Gen. 23:1-20 I. The Reality of the Mourner. V. 1 A. The Matriarch He Mourned. B. The Manner in which He Mourned. II. The Responsibility of the Mourner. V. 3-4 A. To Continue to Sojourn by Faith. V. 3-18 Heb. 11:10 Acts 2:46 Phil. 2:15 I Peter 2:11 III. The Reward of the Mourner. How do we walk by faith when we lose a loved one? God is faithful in our darkest times. God's promises take time God is working all things together for good. Discussion Questions: 1. How does this text help us understand our need for the whole counsel of God's word? 2. Have you experienced the loss of a loved one? How can you identify with Abraham's experience? Where did you find it hard to walk by faith? Where did you find your faith helpful? 3. What promises did God give Abraham that would help him to continue by faith? What promises have been given to you to help you walk by faith even in the loss of a loved one? 4. Look at the 3 points mentioned under “The Reward of the Mourner” Which of these encourages your faith the most? Discuss. 5. All of the promises of God are yes and amen in Christ (2 Cor. 1:20). Take time to acknowledge that apart from Christ we would not receive the promises. How did Christ secure these promises for Abraham and how does He secure God's promises to us? Worship Christ!

Corporate Worship | Christ Covenant by Christ Covenant

Luke 2:14 | A Multitude of the Heavenly Host from CrossPointe Coast on Vimeo. Preacher: Jeremiah Fyffe Scripture: Luke 2:14 A MULTITUDE OF THE HEAVENLY HOST OUTLINE OF THE PRAISE GLORY TO GOD PEACE ON EARTH WITH WHOM HE IS PLEASED Job 38:7 (ESV) when the morning stars sang together and all the sons of God shouted for joy? Angels, from the realms of glory, Wing your downward flight to earth, Ye who sing creation's story, Now proclaim Messiah's birth; Come and worship, Worship Christ, the new-born King. Charles Spurgeon We must learn from this, that if salvation glorifies God, glorifies him in the highest degree, and makes the highest creatures praise him, this one reflection may be added—then, that doctrine, which glorifies man in salvation cannot be the gospel. For salvation glorifies God. Psalm 148:1–2 (ESV) Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord from the heavens; praise him in the heights! Praise him, all his angels; praise him, all his hosts! Colossians 1:19–20 (ESV) For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of his cross. Psalm 148:13 (ESV) Let them praise the name of the Lord, for his name alone is exalted; his majesty is above earth and heaven. John 3:16–17 (ESV) “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Charles Spurgeon No greater proof of kindness between the Creator and his subjects can possibly be afforded than when the Creator gives his only begotten and well beloved Son to die. Ephesians 2:14 (ESV) For he himself is our peace, who has made us both one and has broken down in his flesh the dividing wall of hostility Charles Spurgeon When I read that, and found the angels singing it, I thought to myself, “Then if the angels ushered in the gospel's great Head with singing, ought I not to preach with singing?

What do Christians do after Easter? Augustine said, “We are an Easter people and Alleluia is our song.” Early in Christian history Easter became a season of seven weeks called Eastertide. Luke tells us the early believers devoted themselves to the apostles teaching, to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Hebrews urges us not to neglect the assembling of ourselves together. What can we learn from the history of Christian worship? What canwe anticipate about the future of our worship? In ancient and future worship, we notice one constant. Worship is about Christ. As the One at the center of the throne in Heaven (Revelation 5), Jesus, alone, is the center of our corporate worship. What do we do after Easter? We worship. 

In this episode, I will show you what and where in the Bible it gives authority to use a day to worship the Lord, whether it be on Easter or whether it be on Christmas day, regardless of its worldly, pagan roots or tradition. Before you judge the world and body of Christ and become so conscience of your faith that you begin to sound and act like a Pharisee, search the Word of God to see what He says – not as the world says. He looks at the heart…your motives that come from it. What HE sees is the only thing that matters – don't let the enemy lure you over to his side, with false pretenses that become judgement over your fellow Brothers and Sisters in Christ. Other than Easter and Christmas that we just discussed, is there any other stronghold the enemy may have on you through guilt, shame, oppression, or other that otherwise, is well with the Lord after all? If so, get into the Word on this and in prayer. When you place God first above all, you're obeying His first commandment – you cannot be wrong or sinning while doing so. Have peace knowing that.

SHOW NOTES: The shepherds found the baby in Bethlehem – but their story doesn't end bowing before the Christ Child. These lowly, humble men were excited to share the story. They wanted others to know about the angel's message with heavenly hosts declaring God's glory and the Babe they found lying in a manger. What an amazing story to share! Come and worship. Worship Christ, the new-born King! Scripture: https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke+2%3A15-20&version=NIV (Luke 2:15-20) Merry Christmas!
