    Emptiness is not punishment

    Emptiness is not punishment Exo 1:15 And the king of Egypt spake to the Hebrew midwives, of which the name of the one was Shiphrah, and the name of the other Puah: Exo 1:16 And he said, When ye do the office of a midwife to the Hebrew women, and see them upon the stools; if it be a son, then ye shall kill him: but if it be a daughter, then she shall live. Exo 1:17 But the midwives feared God, and did not as the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the men children alive. These women really feared God They were in Awe of God Their conscience was seared by the worship of God These women were midwives in a slave community. That means they were present at: Every birthEvery deathEvery cry in the nightEvery mother's desperationEvery child's first breathThat kind of work either hardens or hollows you into reverence.  Thewayknoxville.com

    Silly dove without heart

    THERE ARE THREE PORTRAYALS OF THE DOVE I WANT FOCUS ON FOR A MOMENT.  HOSEA- SHOWS US THE SILLY DOVE- EASILY CAUGHT IN THE NETS OF ENEMIES AND FOOLISHNESS OF THE WORLD. PSALMS- SHOWS US A DOVE THAT IS EAGER TO FIND PEACE, RESTORATION, BEUATY, AND REST. AFTER HARDSHIPS THEY BECAME RESILIENT THEIR WINGS WOULD BECOME BEAUTIFUL WITH SILVER AND GOLD SHIMMERS FROM THE SUN REFLECTING OF THEIR WINGS AS THEY FLEW.  YOU WILL GO THROUGH HARDSHIPS BUT LET THE WORLD SEE YOUR BEUATY AS GOD PULLED YOU OUT OF THE MUCK AND MIRE, KNOCK THE DIRT OFF YOUR FEET AND KEEP MOVING, THE GOSPELS GOTTA GET GOING!  YOU HAVE THE GOSPEL DOVE- THIS ONE DESCENDED FROM HEAVEN DURING THE BAPTISM OF JESUS THIS IS DIVINE NATURE- INFUSED AND BAPTIZED WITH THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. THE SAME POWER THAT RAISED JESUS FROM THE GRAVE. The same bird symbolizes both human weakness and divine perfection, showing how God transforms what is foolish and vulnerable into something holy when filled by His Spirit.  After the great Flood, Noah sends out birds to test whether the waters have gone down enough for life to resume: First, he sends a raven, which flies back and forth (scavenging on floating carcasses). Then he sends a dove (a cleaner, more gentle bird).  On its first trip, it returns with nowhere to land.    On the second trip, the dove brings back a freshly plucked olive leaf. This is decisive evidence: The waters have receded enough for plants to grow again. The leaf was “freshly plucked,” showing new growth, not something that had been floating dead in the water. A week later, Noah sends the dove out a third time, and it does not return—signaling it’s safe to leave the ark. WE HAVE RAVENS AND DOVES RAVENS ARE FOCUSED ON THE DEAD DOVES ARE FOCUSED ON PEACE HOWEVER,  SOME OF THOSE DOVES DON’T KNOW HOW TO FIND IT SOME OF THOSE DOVES ONLY HAVE A PIECE OF IT AND SOME OF THOSE DOVES GO MAKE NEW PATHS WITH IT.  Thewayknoxville.com

    Pride prevents repentance

    Hos 7:8 Ephraim mixes himself with the peoples; Ephraim is a cake not turned. Hos 7:9 Strangers devour his strength, and he knows it not; gray hairs are sprinkled upon him, and he knows it not. Hos 7:10 The pride of Israel testifies to his face; yet they do not return to the LORD their God, nor seek him, for all this. Matthew 26:41 41 “Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.” Spirit- our inner, renewed part of the person..   Desire’s to do the best, always has good intentions.    Flesh- refers to human weakness: physical limitations, sinful tendencies, fatigue, emotions, or the fallen human nature.  Without reliance upon God, Human Frailty wins out.    This isn’t an excuse for sin, but often why good intention often fail.  The solution isn’t more willpower, it’s more prayer! Watchful prayer, immediate prayer, sorrowful prayer, prayer with substance, prayer in the Spirit of God’s favor and testimony. A willingness to accept God’s plan’s for your life even if it involves suffering.     So that God can absolve you from the torment of Sin and provide freedom in his salvation.   Thewayknoxville.com

    Peekaboo

    Circumstances do not dictate our faith, our faith dictates our circumstances.  Are you at your peak with God? Or do you peek at what God is doing and get scared of trying?  Thewayknoxville.com

    Paid in Full

    Thank you to our Elder Wes for an amazing presentation of Isiah 53.  Isaiah 53 describes God's Suffering Servant — a man who is rejected, unattractive, and full of sorrow. People thought he was being punished by God for his own sins, but actually: He was wounded and crushed for our sins, not his own.He took our punishment so we could have peace.By his wounds, we are healed.Like innocent sheep that wandered away, all of us have sinned — and God placed all our guilt on him. He suffered quietly, was treated unfairly, and died. He was buried in a rich man's grave. But in the end, God was pleased with his sacrifice. The Servant will see the good results of his suffering, justify many people, and be honored. This chapter is often called the clearest Old Testament picture of Jesus' suffering and death for us.

    Hosea 5

    Mat 24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. Hos 5:5 And the pride of Israel doth testify to his face: therefore shall Israel and Ephraim fall in their iniquity; Judah also shall fall with them. God knows them, but they do not know him.  Unbearably proud.   Pride comes from a sense of accomplishment, however it has a dual nature. It can lead to  maladaptive patterns like arrogance and isolation.  Authentic pride “beta” pride- feelings of accomplishment fulfillment genuine satisfaction  Hubristic pride “alpha” pride- an antisocial self aggrandizing form tied to inflated sense of superiority.     Narcissism.. this style of pride leads to distorted self views, pushes the individual to over claim unearned success.

    No God No Knowledge

    Hosea Chapter 4 and onward the book becomes prophetic and literal. Allegory is useful for illustration not doctrine.      Is Jesus literally returning aging yes. Is hell eternal, yes.  Many other Biblical  books have a theme of repentance, this one is reaping what you sow.  The clear expectation is  Gods justice demands penalty The courtroom setting.  A subpoena from God to the northern Kingdom of Israel  Sins of Omission No Truth  No Mercy No knowledge of God.  Truth must be rooted in more than personal opinion, and mercy means going beyond self-interest.
