Today Pastor Mike is teaching from the Book of Matthew. Is your house built on the Rock or the Sand? America is transforming. However, that transformation is transplanting America on the sand. Celebrate your Independence by declaring your Dependence on God.
A sabbatical year. Every 7 years: couldn't do anything to the land you had to leave it fallow.
7 sabbatical years, everyone was released from their debt. If you own land and needed some money you would still be released from your debt.
September 13 2015 is the end of the Sabbatical year and also the beginning of Yom Kippur: God is releasing you. God wants you to look to Him so that we will learn how to treat Him. You need to be a borrower not a lender. He will give you enough with you trusting him that he will bring you through. As long as you are not trusting God to take care of you are not Independent. To release. We are all indebted to man instead we should be indebted to God.
Luke 4:13
God wants us to trust in Him and not the things that we acquire over the years.
In preparation for Jubilee God promised that in the year before, the bounty and harvest would be triple so that you could be sustained
This taught Israel and each generation to trust in the promises of God and not how much wealth, money, food, you could save
Escaping Egypt is about the nation of Israel finding freedom & starting their journey to the "Promised Land" This was at the very first "Passover" which was held on their very first "New Years Eve"... & it turned out to be quite a celebration then & ever since. As members of the Body of Christ we celebrate this also at Easter, and even more often when we participate in "The Lords Supper" a remembrance & celebration of that New Years Eve, before Jesus bore the sin of the whole world.
In His Word, God makes it very clear that those who truly follow Christ will be persecuted. Welcome to life! What happened to the "body of Christ" when he walked the earth will happen now to his spiritual Body, the Church. So how are we to deal with this kind of suffering? With the mindset that Jesus Christ had. And he will help us do just that, such that we can have joy and peace even now, and earn glorious rewards for the future.
The Book of Ruth is a wonderful gem in the Old Testament. This teaching delves into how the book displays the need to know, understand, and act on the written Word of God.
Teens struggle with Rebellion, but so do adults. The Bible is filled with teaching on how rebellion affects my life. It shows that rebellion will destroy me.
We began this week looking at the final chapter of the epistle of Paul to the fledgling church at Rome. In this final chapter Paul asks for every hospitality to be extended to those with whom he has sent this letter. Those who accompanied the epistle bore witness to the authorship of the document and their witness was validated by the fact that some of those bringing the letter were themselves former members of the assembly at Rome.
The Bible speaks of perilous times... with recent events there is a spiritual war going on. Pastor Jeff shares how we must fight and who we are fighting against. It's not people. For more information on the ministry visit www.ongoodground.org.
Can rebellion and anti-authoritarian music be redeemed? This morning we look at punk rock chords, choruses, and discord in the world and more surprisingly in the pages of Scripture.
“Questioning anything and everything, to me, is punk rock.” Henry Rollins, Black Flag
“Just at that time some Pharisees approached, saying to Him, "Go away, leave here, for Herod wants to kill You." He said to them, "Go and tell that fox, 'Behold, I cast out demons and perform cures today and tomorrow, and the third day I reach my goal.'” Jesus in Luke 13:31-32, NIV
