  • Hear2See S13 E2 Psalms Chapter 2 We too should act wisely, and pray for our leaders to act wisely as well.

    HEAR Journaling -  Psalms Chapter 2

     

    Highlight – Psalm 2:10-12 New Living Translation

    10 Now then, you kings, act wisely! Be warned, you rulers of the earth!
    11 Serve the Lord with reverent fear, and rejoice with trembling.
    12 Submit to God’s royal son,[e] or he will become angry, and you will be destroyed in the midst of all your activities— for his anger flares up in an instant. 

    But what joy for all who take refuge in him!

     

    Explain – The Psalmist Author cautions leaders to act wisely, to serve the Lord with reverent fear and rejoice with trembling.  They were to submit to Jesus or ultimately be destroyed.  There is joy available to any and all that will take refuge in Him.

     

    Philippians 2 New King James Version 12 Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling;

     

    Philippians 2 New Living Translation 12 Dear friends, you always followed my instructions when I was with you. And now that I am away, it is even more important. Work hard to show the results of your salvation, obeying God with deep reverence and fear.

     

    Apply – We too should act wisely, and pray for our leaders to act wisely as well.  We must serve the Lord with reverent fear and rejoice with trembling.  We must submit to Jesus to avoid ultimate destruction.  There is joy available to any and all that will take refuge in Him.

     

    Respond – Lord, thank You so much for Your Word.  I seek to willfully submit to You Lord, serve You with reverent fear rejoicing for my living relationship with and in You.

  • Hear2See S13 E1 Psalms Chapter 1 We should strive to be like that living tree by being faithfully obedient in all we think, say, and do.

    HEAR Journaling -  Psalms Chapter 1

     

    Highlight – Psalms Chapter 1 New Living Translation

    Book one (Psalms 1–41)

    Psalm 1:1-3

    1 Oh, the joys of those who do not follow the advice of the wicked,
        or stand around with sinners, or join in with mockers.
    2 But they delight in the law of the Lord, meditating on it day and night.3 They are like trees planted along the riverbank, bearing fruit each season.
    Their leaves never wither, and they prosper in all they do.

     

    Explain – The Author, the Psalmist, says that there is joy to be had by not following the advice of the wicked, or to stand with sinners, but real delight is to be had by meditating on the Word of God (the law) day and night.  The believers that live like this are like trees planted along the riverbank of living waters, bearing fruit each season.  They prosper in all they do.   

     

    This is quite a contrast to a tree in a baren desert, a tree planted by the living water is truly blessed.

     

    We like to vacation in the Great Smokey Mountain National Park.  There you can see these trees along the flowing rivers, strong and healthy, their roots stretching out into the waters for their abundant life.  We too have traveled to the Grand Canyon area and have seen some trees in desert areas barely surviving because they are far from living water.

     

    Unlike trees, we do have a choice where to plant our roots.

     

    Apply – We should strive to be like that living tree by being faithfully obedient in all we think, say, and do.  We must be grounded in healthy soil, nourished by the living spiritual waters of the Lord, and strengthened by the shinning Son, the Lord Jesus Christ.  We will by our nature, bear much fruit for His kingdom.  We must avoid anyone, or anything that would lure us away and abide in and with Him always.

     

    Respond – Lord, thank You so much for this living picture of our blessed and joyful life in and with You.  Help me discern and avoid anyone or anything that would tempt me away from Your presence.

    HEAR Journaling - Matthew Chapter 28

     

    Highlight – Matthew 28:1-7 New Living Translation

    The Resurrection

    1 Early on Sunday morning,[a] as the new day was dawning, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went out to visit the tomb. 2 Suddenly there was a great earthquake! For an angel of the Lord came down from heaven, rolled aside the stone, and sat on it. 3 His face shone like lightning, and his clothing was as white as snow. 4 The guards shook with fear when they saw him, and they fell into a dead faint. 5 Then the angel spoke to the women. “Don’t be afraid!” he said. “I know you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. 6 He isn’t here! He is risen from the dead, just as he said would happen. Come, see where his body was lying. 7 And now, go quickly and tell his disciples that he has risen from the dead, and he is going ahead of you to Galilee. You will see him there. Remember what I have told you.” 

     

    Explain – Jesus rose from the dead. Then an angel of the Lord came and rolled away the stone opening the tomb for all to see.  The angel spoke to the women telling them to go and tell the disciples that He had risen from the dead and would meet them in Galilee.

     

    Apply – Jesus died and rose again for all mankind including each of us today.  Imagine, the creator of all things.  He created time, space, heaven and the earth and everything in it.  He came in the form of a human being to bring His message, the gospel of Jesus Christ.  We should accept Him as Lord and Savior and follow Him faithfully and obediently through eternity.

     

    1 John 4:14 ESV And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world.

     

    John 3:16 ESV “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.

     

    Acts 4:12 ESV And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”

     

    Romans 6:23 ESV For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

     

    1 Timothy 2:3-4 ESV This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.

     

    Ephesians 2:8-9 ESV For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.

     

    Acts 2:38 ESV And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

     

    Respond- Lord, thank You for my salvation, for this awesome relationship that I share with You.  I strive to follow You obediently and faithfully.  I pray earnestly for those that do not know You as their Lord and Savior.  May they accept You and follow You through eternity.  Amen.

    HEAR Journaling - Matthew Chapter 27

     

    Highlight – Matthew 27:45-52 New Living Translation

    The Death of Jesus

    45 At noon, darkness fell across the whole land until three o’clock. 46 At about three o’clock, Jesus called out with a loud voice, “Eli, Eli,[j] lema sabachthani?” which means “My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?”[k]  47 Some of the bystanders misunderstood and thought he was calling for the prophet Elijah. 48 One of them ran and filled a sponge with sour wine, holding it up to him on a reed stick so he could drink. 49 But the rest said, “Wait! Let’s see whether Elijah comes to save him.”[l] 50 Then Jesus shouted out again, and he released his spirit. 51 At that moment the curtain in the sanctuary of the Temple was torn in two, from top to bottom. The earth shook, rocks split apart, 52 and tombs opened. The bodies of many godly men and women who had died were raised from the dead. 

     

    Explain – Matthew chapter 27 records Jesus’ death on the cross.  Notice that when he had taken on all the sin of the world He cried out “lema sabachthani” because He was separated from the Father due to the sin, just as we are separated because of our sin.  Notice that the “curtain” or the veil in the temple was torn from top to bottom.  The veil in the temple separated the Holy of Holies from the rest of the temple.  Only the designated priest could enter the Holy of Holies.  Jewish tradition says that the temple veil was the thickness of a man’s hand which would not be torn top to bottom by any natural forces.

     

    Apply – The tearing of the veil meant that through Jesus’ death everyone can come to Jesus on their own, the separation was removed at His death because He paid the price of sin for all mankind.

     

    Exodus 26:33 ESV And you shall hang the veil from the clasps, and bring the ark of the testimony in there within the veil. And the veil shall separate for you the Holy Place from the Most Holy.

     

    Hebrews 10:19-20 ESV Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the holy places by the blood of Jesus, by the new and living way that he opened for us through the curtain, that is, through his flesh,

     

    2 Corinthians 3:16-18 ESV But when one turns to the Lord, the veil is removed. Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit.

     

    John 1:14 ESV And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.

     

    John 14:6 ESV Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

     

    John 3:18 ESV

     

    Respond- Lord, thank You for Your sacrifice for me, Your mercy and grace are precious in spite of my sinful ways.  Thank You for this awesome relationship that I share with You.  I strive to follow You obediently and faithfully.  I pray for those that do not know You as their savior.  Amen.

    Highlight – Matthew 26: New Living Translation

    Jesus Predicts Peter’s Denial

    31 On the way, Jesus told them, “Tonight all of you will desert me. For the Scriptures say,

    ‘God will strike[e] the Shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’ 32 But after I have been raised from the dead, I will go ahead of you to Galilee and meet you there.” 33 Peter declared, “Even if everyone else deserts you, I will never desert you.” 34 Jesus replied, “I tell you the truth, Peter—this very night, before the rooster crows, you will deny three times that you even know me.” 35 “No!” Peter insisted. “Even if I have to die with you, I will never deny you!” And all the other disciples vowed the same.

     

    Explain – Peter was adamant that he would faithfully follow Jesus never deserting Him.  Jesus explained to Peter that although his intentions were good, he would none-the-less deny that he even knew Jesus three times that very day.  Peter refused to believe what Jesus was saying to him.  We know that Peter did indeed deny that he even knew Jesus three times that day, before the cock crowed.

     

    Apply –We must be wary of what we say, not making vows that we may not be able to keep.  We would be better served to live under the control of the Holy Spirit who will lead us unto all Truth and not into any sin to include idle speech.

     

    James 5:12 ESV But above all, my brothers, do not swear, either by heaven or by earth or by any other oath, but let your “yes” be yes and your “no” be no, so that you may not fall under condemnation.

     

    Matthew 5:33-37 ESV “Again you have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not swear falsely, but shall perform to the Lord what you have sworn.’ But I say to you, Do not take an oath at all, either by heaven, for it is the throne of God, or by the earth, for it is his footstool, or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King. And do not take an oath by your head, for you cannot make one hair white or black. Let what you say be simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’; anything more than this comes from evil.

     

    Deuteronomy 23:21-23 ESV “If you make a vow to the Lord your God, you shall not delay fulfilling it, for the Lord your God will surely require it of you, and you will be guilty of sin. But if you refrain from vowing, you will not be guilty of sin. You shall be careful to do what has passed your lips, for you have voluntarily vowed to the Lord your God what you have promised with your mouth.

     

    Ecclesiastes 5:5 ESV It is better that you should not vow than that you should vow and not pay.

     

    Numbers 30:2 ESV If a man vows a vow to the Lord, or swears an oath to bind himself by a pledge, he shall not break his word. He shall do according to all that proceeds out of his mouth.

     

    Respond- Lord, thank You for my salvation, for this awesome relationship that I share with You.  I strive to follow You obediently and faithfully.  I pray for those that do not know You as their savior will accept You and follow You through eternity.  Amen.

    Parable of the Ten Bridesmaids

    1“Then the Kingdom of Heaven will be like ten bridesmaids[a] who took their lamps and went to meet the bridegroom. 2 Five of them were foolish, and five were wise. 3 The five who were foolish didn’t take enough olive oil for their lamps, 4 but the other five were wise enough to take along extra oil. 5 When the bridegroom was delayed, they all became drowsy and fell asleep.  6 “At midnight they were roused by the shout, ‘Look, the bridegroom is coming! Come out and meet him!’ 7 “All the bridesmaids got up and prepared their lamps. 8 Then the five foolish ones asked the others, ‘Please give us some of your oil because our lamps are going out.’ 9 “But the others replied, ‘We don’t have enough for all of us. Go to a shop and buy some for yourselves.’ 10 “But while they were gone to buy oil, the bridegroom came. Then those who were ready went in with him to the marriage feast, and the door was locked. 11 Later, when the other five bridesmaids returned, they stood outside, calling, ‘Lord! Lord! Open the door for us!’

    12 “But he called back, ‘Believe me, I don’t know you!’ 13 “So you, too, must keep watch! For you do not know the day or hour of my return.

                

    Explain – This parable of the Ten Bridesmaids tells of 5 wise bridesmaids and 5 foolish ones.  The foolish ones did not prepare for the groom’s coming so they were left out of the marriage feast.  The message is clear, do not be caught unprepared when Jesus returns.

     

    Apply – We can apply this truth to our lives.  The lamp oil represents our relationship with God through the Holy Spirit.  We must strive to seek Him, abide in Him and with Him consistently and continuously.  We must guard from any temptation or distraction that will draw our attention away from the Lord.  We will not only be ready for His coming, but we will be living our best possible life, a life a love, joy and peace only available through a relationship with Him.

     

    1 John 2:24-25 ESV Let what you heard from the beginning abide in you. If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, then you too will abide in the Son and in the Father. And this is the promise that he made to us—eternal life.

     

    Hebrews 5:14 ESV But solid food is for the mature, for those who have their powers of discernment trained by constant practice to distinguish good from evil.

     

    2 Timothy 4:7 ESV I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.

     

    2 Peter 1:10 ESV Therefore, brothers, be all the more diligent to confirm your calling and election, for if you practice these qualities you will never fall.

     

    Matthew 28:20 ESV Teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”

     

    James 5:16 ESV

     

    Respond- Lord, thank You for my salvation.  Help me Lord to remain steadfast in our relationship, to be an effective servant for You ever ready for anything You may have for me.  I pray for those that are not ready to meet You Lord, my they seek and find You as Lord and savior.  Amen.

    Highlight – Matthew 24: New Living Translation

    Jesus Speaks about the Future

    32 “Now learn a lesson from the fig tree. When its branches bud and its leaves begin to sprout, you know that summer is near. 33 In the same way, when you see all these things, you can know his return is very near, right at the door. 34 I tell you the truth, this generation[j] will not pass from the scene until all these things take place. 35 Heaven and earth will disappear, but my words will never disappear.

    36 “However, no one knows the day or hour when these things will happen, not even the angels in heaven or the Son himself.[k] Only the Father knows.

    37 “When the Son of Man returns, it will be like it was in Noah’s day. 38 In those days before the flood, the people were enjoying banquets and parties and weddings right up to the time Noah entered his boat. 39 People didn’t realize what was going to happen until the flood came and swept them all away. That is the way it will be when the Son of Man comes.

                

    Explain – Matthew Chapter 24 contains Jesus’ warning of the coming end times.  He explained that no one knows the day or hour of Jesus Christ’s return, but that people would know the season if they were paying attention.  The people of Noah’s time were not paying attention and they missed their rescue from certain destruction. 

     

    Apply – We must maintain our relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ, abiding in Him as He abides in us.  We must remain vigilant not to lose faith or our attention with the abiding Holy Spirit or we too could be distracted when our time to meet Jesus comes.

     

    Hebrews 9:28 ESV So Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin but to save those who are eagerly waiting for him.

     

    1 Thessalonians 5:2 ESV For you yourselves are fully aware that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.

     

    Revelation 1:7 ESV Behold, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, even those who pierced him, and all tribes of the earth will wail on account of him. Even so. Amen.

     

    1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 ESV For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord.

     

    Philippians 3:20-21 ESV But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will transform our lowly body to be like his glorious body, by the power that enables him even to subject all things to himself.

     

     

     

    Respond- Lord, thank You for my salvation, I eagerly await the time when I will meet You face to face.  I strive to follow You faithfully and obediently, consistently, and continuously so that I will be an effective servant for You.  I pray for those that do not know You as their savior, Lord.  Help them find You before it is too late.  Amen.

    HEAR Journaling -  Matthew Chapter 23

     

    Highlight – Matthew 23:27-28 New Living Translation

    Jesus Criticizes the Religious Leaders

    27 “What sorrow awaits you teachers of religious law and you Pharisees. Hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs—beautiful on the outside but filled on the inside with dead people’s bones and all sorts of impurity.28 Outwardly you look like righteous people, but inwardly your hearts are filled with hypocrisy and lawlessness.

                

    Explain – Jesus criticized the religious leaders of the day, the Pharisees, He called them hypocrites, because they portrayed themselves to be righteous and honest, but inside Jesus said, they were like dead men’s bones.  

     

    Apply – There is no fooling Jesus.  He knows our very thoughts, words, and actions every moment of our lives.  We must ensure that we are being honest with God ourselves and we must also ensure that those people that we associate with and leaders that we follow are not wolves in sheep’s clothing.

     

    1 John 4:20 ESV If anyone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen.

     

    Matthew 7:5 ESV You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye.

     

    Matthew 6:1 ESV “Beware of practicing your righteousness before other people in order to be seen by them, for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven.

     

    James 1:26 ESV If anyone thinks he is religious and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his heart, this person's religion is worthless.

     

    Romans 2:3 ESV Do you suppose, O man—you who judge those who practice such things and yet do them yourself—that you will escape the judgment of God?

     

    1 John 2:9 ESV Whoever says he is in the light and hates his brother is still in darkness.

     

    Luke 12:2 ESV Nothing is covered up that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known.

     

    Matthew 7:15 ESV “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves.

     

    Respond- Lord, thank You for Your Truth.  Help me Lord to be all that I can be in You.  Help me discern any unclean spirits and unrighteous leaders and deal with them in accordance with Your will and instruction.  I pray for those that do not know You as their savior will accept You and follow You through eternity.  Amen.

    Highlight – Matthew 22 New Living Translation

    The Most Important Commandment

    34 But when the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sadducees with his reply, they met together to question him again. 35 One of them, an expert in religious law, tried to trap him with this question: 36 “Teacher, which is the most important commandment in the law of Moses?”

    37 Jesus replied, “‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.’[e] 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 A second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’[f] 40 The entire law and all the demands of the prophets are based on these two commandments.”

                

    Explain – Matthew Chapter twenty-two has Jesus explaining to the Pharisees about the most important commandment.

     

    Apply – Jesus said the most important commandment is to love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.’[e] 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 A second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’  We must believe and worship God in spirit and truth.  We cannot hope to fool God as He knows what we think, say, and do.  The indwelling Holy Spirit will lead us into all truth and a fulfilled life.

     

    Mark 12:30 ESV And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’

     

    Romans 12:2 ESV Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.

     

    2 Timothy 2:15 ESV Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth.

     

    John 13:34 ESV A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another.

     

    John 14:21 ESV Whoever has my commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves me. And he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him.”

     

    Respond- Lord, thank You for my salvation, for this awesome relationship that I share with You.  Help me Lord to love You with all my heart, soul, and mind and others as myself.  I strive to follow You obediently and faithfully.  I pray for those that do not know You as their savior will accept You and follow You through eternity.  Amen.
