The Power of the Resurrection
Luke 24, The shadows and darkness of Good Friday gave way through the brightness of Easter morning. The grave could not hold him. Death has been swallowed up in victory. He is risen indeed. If you join me in prayer for the reading of God’s Word. Father of all mercies, in your Word endless glory shine forth. And we ask that you would reveal to us this day by the…
These Things They Did Not Understand
John 12. Today, of course, this Palm Sunday is the beginning of passion week, celebration of Jesus coming to Jerusalem according to prophetic proclamation. So look to the reading of God’s Word if you join me in prayer. Heavenly fathers, we meet now in your presence. We ask you to open our ears to hear your voice, to open our hearts to love you more and more, to open…
The Lament of God
God’s Word. Book of numbers 13 and 14. From Egypt now, through the wilderness, through the very southern edge of the promised land, Israel sits, as it were, like a rocket on the launchpad. You can hear the familiar words, at least in our movies. Houston, we have primary ignition and the rockets are roaring. The smoke and the steam are billowing out and that rocket…
Sibling Rivalry
Numbers 12, the grumbling and complaining of the crowds in the people of Israel have given way to now the leadership grumbling and complaining as well. As we look to the reading of God’s Word, you would join me in prayer. Christ our God, we ask you to set our hearts on fire with love through your Word, that in its flame we may love you with all of our hearts, with…
Grumblings
Numbers 11. I had grand intentions of covering Chapter 12, but next week. N umbers 11, we’ve so far come to some smooth sailing for israel, and now we hit some turbulent seas ahead of us in the response to what God is doing. As we look to the reading of God’s Word, if you’d please join me in prayer. Father of all mercy, in Your Word endless glory shine…
Set Apart for Blessing
Number six, begins with another curiosity for modern readers, the Nazareth vow. How does this fit into the flow of numbers? Then Chapter 6 ends with a very familiar blessing to us, the blessing of Aaron. As we look through the reading of God’s Word, though, if you’d please join me in prayer. Our Father, Majesty and Bounded, worthy of all worship, and you,…
Messy Lives Maintaining Order
Numbers. Chapter five. Israel is about to set off on March and they are given three case studies to apply to help them maintain their order as we look through the reading of God’s word. If you would join me in prayer. Heavenly Father, as we come before you this day, as we meet in your presence, we ask that you would open our ears to hear your voice, to open our…
Guarding the Presence of God
Please remain standing for the reading of God’s Word. We are in numbers three, continuing through this new series, looking at rather large section of chapters three to four, basically looking at who are these Levi’s and why are they having so much fun? I hope, in a way, that a bunch of docs will be connected, connected for us, that we understand numbers fits…
After the Wedding
A new series looking at God’s people living between the Exodus and the Promised Land. It is indeed a large book, 36 chapters at times. We’re going to cover ground more quickly, a few chapters at a time, and then we will be slowing down as well as we look through the reading God’s Word. If you would join me in prayer. Blessed Lord, you have. Must all holy…
The Hope of the Nations
Matthew, chapter two. The day is the Sunday of epiphany. Epiphany is simply the Greek word which means to show or to appear. Epiphany is a celebration of the light of Christ coming into the world. And it marks the end of the Christmas season as we look to the reading of God’s word. If you please join me in prayer. Blessed are you, O God, the Father of all mercy.…
