  • Know your God

    Exodus 33:12-23 Moses wanted to see Yahweh’s glory. The contrast between Moses and the people was enormous. They wanted the golden image; he wanted Yahweh.

    Exodus 34:5 and 6 Know your God.

    Exodus 34:7-9 God responded to Moses’ request.

    Numbers 14:11-23 Yahweh did pardon them, but they suffered the consequences of their sin.

    Joel 2:1-11 Yahweh refers to the Assyrian army as His army. Isaiah 5:24-30; 7:17-20; 8:7 and 8

    12-17 Joel knew his God and therefore encouraged Israel to repent.

    Isaiah 10:5-12 Assyria was lifted up with pride.

    Jonah 1:1-3 Jonah wanted the Assyrians to be destroyed. Nineveh was their capitol city.

    4:1-11 God’s mercy, kindness, and forgiveness for one nation was also His judgment against another. His judgment against one nation was also His mercy, kindness, patience, and forgiveness to another.

    Nahum 1:1-15 Addressed to Israel

    Nahum 2:1-3:7 Addressed to Nineveh

    God does not have a fragmented personality. He is always who He is and demonstrates what He chooses based upon by His own knowledge and wisdom. He is always right.

    Romans 9:14-18 God knows what He is doing. Do you know your God?

    Psalms 103:1-22 Know your God.

  • The Resurrection People

    1 Corinthians 15.1-2: gospel basics
    • believing the gospel results in salvation
    • must hold fast or else belief was in vain

    15.3-8 resurrection creed

    • short statement of faith about Jesus’ resurrection appearances
    • Paul got this creed between 5 and 7 years from Jesus’ resurrection

    15.9-11 Paul added on

    • Pauls’ resurrection appearance was post-ascension
    • message matters not messenger

    15.12 Some Say No Resurrection?

    • resurrection was very unusual in the first century world
    • some in Corinth rejected the idea of resurrection

    15.13-19 Argument for Resurrection

    • general resurrection is linked to Christ’s resurrection
    • if resurrection doesn’t exist then Christ is not raised
    • if Christ is not raised then our preaching is vain, your faith is vain, we are false witnesses, your faith is worthless, you are still in your sins, the dead are gone for good, we are of all people the most miserable

    15.20-28 The Hope

    • Christ is the first then the rest are raised at his coming
    • timeline
      1. Christ returns
      2. resurrection
      3. Christ reigns until all enemies are defeated
      4. death defeated (last enemy)
      5. Son subjects himself to God

    15.29-34 Back to the Argument

    • more reasons why resurrection is necessary
      o why else are they baptized for the dead?
      o why be in danger?
      o why suffer?
      o why not just eat and drink, for tomorrow we die?
    • sober up; stop sinning

    15.35-58 Overcoming the Objection, “But why would I want my perishable, mortal body forever?”

    • Q: “how are the dead raised?”
    • Q: “with what kind of body do they come?”
    • seed analogy explains that the resurrection body is continuous with but not identical to the current body
    • our perishable bodies are “planted” in the ground, but raised imperishable, planted in dishonor, but raised in glory, planted in weakness, but raised in power, planted a “soulish” body, but raised a spiritual body
    • resurrection/transformation will happen fast, at the last trumpet
    • v58 gives us the reason for the whole chapter
      o steadfast, immovable, abounding in Lord’s work…knowing that your labor/toil is not for nothing because resurrection will happen and this present life is not all there is
      o resurrection means what we do in this life, in this body matters

  • Father of Faithfulness

    Leviticus 25:1-12, 20-22 God’s proper cycle for life was to have everything and everyone rest the seventh year. He promised to provide; they had to trust.

    Leviticus 26:33-36 The consequences of disobedience

    Jeremiah 25:1-11 After centuries of disobedience filled with immorality and idolatry, Jeremiah tells of their end that indeed did happen.

    2Chronicles 36:11-21 The prophecy was fulfilled because God is faithful. The time was in relationship to the failed Sabbaths.

    Jeremiah 29:10-14 He promised to bring them back after 70 years.

    They did not obey for 490 years, which is why they were in captivity for 70 years − one year for each Sabbath year neglected. 490 divided by seven equals 70.

    Daniel 9:1 and 2 Daniel realized while reading Jeremiah that the 70 years of captivity were drawing to a close.

    Daniel 9:3- 23 His prayer

    9:24 God introduces another 490 year period of time.

    To finish the transgression

    1. To make an end of sin
    2. To make atonement for iniquity
    3. To bring everlasting righteousness
    4. To seal up vision and prophecy
    5. To anoint the most holy place

      6. 9:25-27 70 heptads (groups of seven) equal 490. 490 is divided into 483 and 7. The 483 till Christ is divided into 49 (7X7, Jubilee years) and 434.

    6. No Compromise

      Daniel 1:8-21 The king’s orders were contrary to the dietary restriction of the Torah, so they refused to compromise.
      Daniel 3:1-30 They did not know if God would deliver them or not, but they did know that they were not going to compromise and worship a false god so that they could fit in and preserve their lives.
      Daniel 4: 28-37 The great king in the world after seven years of living like an animal came to the understanding that Yahweh is the true God and He only deserves worship.
      Daniel 5:1-6, 25-31 The great kingdom of Babylon disrespected Yahweh and in the end paid the price.
      Daniel 6: 10- 23 Daniel was taken out of the lions’ den because he trusted God.
      Daniel 6:28 Darius understood who was in charge.
      Daniel 7:3 Four great beasts come out of the sea. In Revelation 13:1, the beast comes out of the sea.
      Daniel 7:6 The first three beasts – lion, bear, and leopard (Revelation 13:2)
      Daniel 7:7 The fourth ruler is so dreadful and terrifying there is no beast to compare.
      Daniel 7:14 Kingdom of God is set up.
      Daniel 7:17 Vision explained
      Daniel 7:23 Last world kingdom
      Daniel 7:27 God’s Kingdom will prevail.

    9. The Ascension

      Acts 1:1
      Written to Theophilus (means “friend of God”)
      The first account refers to the Gospel of Luke. Luke (beloved physician – Col 4:14; II Tim 4:11) wrote the book of Luke and the book of Acts.

      Luke 1:1-4

      Luke was not an eyewitness.
      “Investigated everything carefully” (NASB) = “Having perfect understanding” (KJV)
      “from the beginning” (GK – “anothen” – from above – James 1:17, 3:15, 17)

      Luke investigated records and was accurate in his communication. But even more so, he was guided by God, and his Lord Jesus Christ through the holy spirit. (II Tim 3:16)

      Acts 1:2

      The Gospel of Luke gives the record of Jesus until the day he was taken up to heaven. The book of Acts picks up where the Gospel of Luke ends. (Luke 24:44-53)

      Acts 1:3

      Jesus spoke of things concerning the Kingdom of God. Jesus’ started his ministry preaching the Kingdom of God (Mt 4:17-23). This continued to be preached in the first century. (Acts 8:12; 19:8; 28:31)

      Acts 1:4-5 (Compare with Luke 24:49)

      Clothed with Power = promise of the Father = baptized with holy spirit

      Acts 1:6

      The disciples asked, “Is this the time?”

      Acts 1:7

      The Kingdom of God and the restoration is absolute. The Father, God, has this fixed by His own authority.

      Acts 1:8

      The disciples would receive the holy spirit, and this power would enable them to be witnesses for the resurrected Christ to the remotest part of the earth.

      Acts 1:9

      Jesus was taken to heaven and sat down at the right hand of God (Mark 16:19; Heb 12:2). This fulfilled what David had prophesied (Psalm 110:1). Jesus is now above all principality, power, might, and dominion (Eph 1:20-22; I Pet 3:22; Mat 28:18). Christ directs the church by way of the holy spirit (Acts 2:32-36).

      Acts 1:10-11

      The next time Jesus comes back to earth, he’s coming back as King of kings, and Lord of lords. He is coming back to bring God’s Kingdom to earth. Now, being empowered by the holy spirit, may we boldly speak on his behalf and do as our Lord commanded – be witnesses of him unto the ends of the earth!

      Revelation 2:25-29 – Do not tolerate anyone promoting immorality and idolatry. “To him I will give authority over the nations; and he shall rule them with a rod of iron, as the vessels of the potter are broken to pieces, as I also have received authority from my Father; and I will give him the morning star.” Psalm 2
      Revelation 3:5 – Wake up, and strengthen the things that remain and “be clothed in white garments; and I will not erase his name from the book of life, and I will confess his name before my Father.” Revelation 20:12-15; 21:27
      Revelation 3:12 – Remain faithful and become “a pillar in the temple of my God, and he will not go out from it anymore; and I will write on him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from my God, and my new name.” Revelation 21:1-ff
      Revelation 3:21 – Be zealous and repent and Jesus “will grant to him to sit down with me on my throne, as I also overcame and sat down with my Father on His throne.” Daniel 7:13 and 14; 1Corinthians 6:2 Revelation 20:1-ff

      Romans 15:16 We are sanctified by the holy spirit.

      1Thesalonians 2:13-16
      1Corinthians 1:2 We are called saints by God. The fundamental idea is
      separation, consecration, devotion to the service of God, sharing in God’s purity,
      and abstaining from earth’s defilement. All around us is filth, but we can stay
      clean by God’s grace.
      Isaiah 4:1-6 A complete sanctification is coming in the day.
