Psalms 67:1-2

Be blessed SO THAT you will be a blessing to the world around you!

This week, Pastor Daniel covers the topic of marriage as it relates to God's words and various threads throughout the bible: Jesus attributes these words to the Creator and shows that marriage between the first man and woman has implications for all people in all places at all times. Moses extends the significance of marriage from its concrete origin into metaphorical applications to speak figuratively about the relationship between Yahweh and His people. In the Torah, the use of marital language and imagery mainly concerns calls to faithfulness for Israel.

Pastor Chad reads from 2 Timothy 2:2 and demonstrates how discipleship spreads from those you disciple to.

This week we continue our look into the Book of Acts, chapter 12. Herod Agrippa had just ordered the execution of the Apostle James. When he saw this was met with approval among the Jews, he seized Peter to have him executed. Under heavy security, Peter was freed by an angel of the Lord and went to the house of Mary. Despite praying desperately for Peter, they were nonetheless astonished to see him at the door. From this account, Pastor Jason talks about our relationship with God concerning our prayers.

This week's Threads class examines the ties between the 'righteous sufferers' throughout the bible. We look at David's suffering at the hands of his own son, Job's misery by Satan, and the suffering of Daniel, Joseph, and Jesus.

Missions Pastor Chad Mason talks about his recent mission to Chiapas, Mexico. There were over 250 people from different churches who spoke many different language variants and came together for a missions conference.

After Stephen's persecution, Christ followers are dispersed from Jerusalem and spread throughout the region. In the depraved city of Antioch, some of those disciples began telling the gospel to Greeks and other Gentiles. A revival breaks out there, and followers of Christ first become known as Christians. Barnabus is sent from the church in Jerusalem to encourage the young church in Antioch. He later remembers Paul and travels to Tarsus to get him.

Pastor Jason talks about the kings that were put in place by God, from Adam to Jesus. 'If God's promises of an endless succession of Davidic Kings is not the answer, because Israel and the Davidic King are so repeatedly sinful, then how could we ever have a forever Kingdom from the descendants of David?'

Pastor Jason continues reflecting on Jesus' crucifixion and how, despite all He had done to prove to the disciples that He was the Messiah, they still believed He was forever dead. Just as then, we continue to underestimate God's plan.
