    Exhortation, Fellowship & Grace (Hebrews 13:22-25)

    Exhortation, Fellowship & Grace (Hebrews 13:22-25)

    The Book of Hebrews has consistently pointed us to the supremacy of Christ. We have seen Jesus Christ exalted above angels, above Moses, and above the Levitical priesthood. To put it simply: Christ is So Much Better!
    We have been reminded that He is our great High Priest, who has entered once and for all into the holy place, obtaining eternal redemption for us. We have explored the themes of faith, perseverance, and the New Covenant, learning that our faith is anchored in the perfect work of Christ.
    We have been warned against the dangers of drifting away, of hardening our hearts, and of falling into apostasy. Yet, we have also been encouraged by the "great cloud of witnesses" that surrounds us, urging us to run with endurance the race set before us, looking unto Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our faith.
    As we come to the final verses of this magnificent letter, Hebrews 13:22-25, we find the writer's closing remarks—a heartfelt plea, a blessing, and final greetings.

    The Great Shepherd, His Workers & His Power (Hebrews 13:17-21)

    The Great Shepherd, His Workers & His Power (Hebrews 13:17-21)

     While addressing the relationship between spiritual leaders and their congregations, this passage offers profound insights that are particularly relevant as we consider the role of fathers in our lives and the church's life.
    This passage calls us to obedience and submission to those who lead us, for they watch over our souls with a sense of divine accountability. Fathers, too, are called to be shepherds in their households, guiding their children in the ways of the Lord with love and integrity.
    Just as spiritual leaders are to watch over the flock of God, fathers are entrusted with the spiritual nurturing and protection of their families – that is the most important thing fathers can do, and that is our priority, this responsibility has priority over all other things for fathers.
    The role of a father mirrors that of our heavenly Father—caring, guiding, disciplining, and loving unconditionally. This caring guiding, and loving is not based on how our children behave or how they behave toward us – fathers we are to do all this unconditionally.
    Fathers, much like our spiritual leaders, are to lead by example, living out our faith in every aspect of life. We are to be men of good conscience, striving to live honestly and in a manner that glorifies God.

    When Lies are Told About Us (Proverbs 12:19)

    When Lies are Told About Us (Proverbs 12:19)

    Welcome, today, we’re discussing a topic that many of us have faced—dealing with people who believe lies about us. We’ll explore how to respond, encourage ourselves in the Lord, and move on with peace and confidence.
    It’s incredibly disheartening when people believe lies about you, especially when you’ve lived with integrity. Proverbs 12:19 reminds us, "The lip of truth shall be established for ever: but a lying tongue is but for a moment." The truth stands the test of time, while lies are fleeting.
    In Proverbs 6:16-19 the Lord tells us just what He thinks about lies and the liars that tell them, “These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.”
    Jesus faced false accusations throughout His ministry. In I Peter 2:23, we read, "Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously." Instead of retaliating, Jesus entrusted Himself to God. We, too, should refrain from responding in anger or seeking revenge.
    Following Jesus' example in responding to false accusations and lies about us is a powerful testimony to our faith and character. Jesus faced numerous false accusations throughout His ministry, especially during His trial and crucifixion. Let's look at some key principles we can glean from His response, grounded in Scripture.
    In the face of false accusations, Jesus often chose silence. In Matthew 26:62-63, during His trial before the high priest, we read, "And the high priest arose, and said unto Him, Answerest Thou nothing? what is it which these witness against Thee? But Jesus held His peace."
    By holding His peace, Jesus demonstrated control and trust in God's ultimate justice. This echoes the prophecy in Isaiah 53:7, "He was oppressed, and He was afflicted, yet He opened not His mouth: He is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so He openeth not His mouth."

    Salvation, Sacrifice & Praise (Hebrews 13:10-16)

    Salvation, Sacrifice & Praise (Hebrews 13:10-16)

    In this message we explore a profound and stirring passage from the book of Hebrews, one that calls us to reflect deeply on our salvation, our sacrifice, and our service to God. Hebrews 13:10-16 provides us with a rich tapestry of theological truths that not only illuminate the path of our redemption but also challenge us to live lives of faithful devotion and sacrificial service.
    Our journey today will take us through three pivotal points:
    Grace Not Works - Not Both (v.10): This verse draws a clear line between the old covenant of works and the new covenant of grace. It underscores the futility of attempting to earn God's favor through our deeds while emphasizing the sufficiency of Christ's sacrifice.
    This point turns our attention to Ephesians 2:5 which says, "Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)" This reminds us to remember our past condition—dead in sin—and the miraculous transformation through Christ who made us alive.
    Our Second Point – The Sacrificial Type & Antitype (vs. 11-13): The sacrificial system of the Old Testament finds its fulfillment in Jesus Christ, the ultimate sacrifice. He suffered outside the gate to sanctify us, calling us to bear His reproach and follow Him.
    Our Third and Final Point - Service of the Saints: (vs. 14-16): Our earthly journey is temporary, but our service to God has eternal significance. We are called to offer continual praise and thanksgiving, to do good, and to share with others. These acts of service are the sacrifices that please God, reflecting our transformed lives and our commitment to His kingdom.
    Let us be encouraged and emboldened to live out our faith with conviction, knowing that our salvation, our sacrifice, and our service are all rooted in the grace and love of our Lord Jesus Christ.

    God's Building (I Corinthians 3:1-11)

    God's Building (I Corinthians 3:1-11)

    This message will explore four main points. First, we will delve into the idea of guarding against carnality, as emphasized in verses one through four. Next, we will reflect on the assurance that God gives the increase, beautifully outlined in verses five through seven.
    We will then examine the concept of God rewarding our efforts, as highlighted in verses eight and nine. Lastly, we will uncover the importance of growing on the right foundation, as explored in verses ten and eleven.
    So, let’s briefly as an introduction look at each of these points, and then we will dig into them as we move along in our message.
    Point #1 - Guard Against Carnality vs. 1-4:
    Here the Apostle Paul addresses a concerning issue within the Corinthian church—carnality. Here, he reminds the believers that their spiritual growth should move them beyond infancy.
    It is a timely reminder for us as well, urging us to remain vigilant against allowing our spiritual journey to be constrained by worldly desires. We will explore the dangers of carnality and the steps we can take to guard against it.
    Point #2 - God Gives the Increase vs. 5-7:
    Here, Paul reminds us that while he may have planted seeds of faith, it is only through God's grace and power that true growth and increase occur. As we navigate our journey of faith, it is essential to relinquish control and trust that God will work in wondrous ways.
    Point #3 - God Rewards Our Efforts vs. 8-9:
    In these verses the Apostle Paul draws our attention to the importance of our efforts in building God's kingdom.
    We learn that our labor in the Lord is not in vain and that each one of our contributions, however small they may seem, holds significance in the eyes of our Heavenly Father. God honors and rewards our faithfulness as we work diligently in His service.
    And Point #4 - Grow on the Right Foundation vs. 10-11:
    In the final portion of our passage, Paul highlights the necessity of building our spiritual lives on the right foundation. We must ensure that our foundation is none other than Jesus Christ Himself.
    In these next few moments, may the Holy Spirit guide us as we dive deeper into this passage, desiring to grow in our understanding, commitment, and purpose in God's glorious plan.

    https://2020bible.pub/2024/04/06/rise-of-the-beast-a-study-of-revelation-chapter-13/
    Here in Revelation 12 and our passage in the final verses of this chapter we are met with vivid imagery, symbolic language, and profound truths that unveil the ultimate plan of God for the culmination of human history.
    In these verses, we witness a dramatic scene unfold before our eyes: the dragon, Satan himself, enraged and filled with fury, pursues the woman who had given birth to the male Child. This woman, representing the nation of Israel, is protected by God and flees into the wilderness, where she is nourished and kept safe for a time, times, and half a time.
    This period represents the final three and a half years of the Tribulation, a time of unparalleled turmoil and persecution on the earth. During this time, the Dragon, knowing his time is short, unleashes his full wrath against the woman and her offspring, those who keep the commandments of God, and hold to the testimony of Jesus.
    As we unpack these verses, we will see the unfolding of God's sovereign plan, the fierce opposition of the enemy, and the ultimate victory of God's people through the blood of the Lamb and the word of their testimony.
