  • Come, Let Us Reason Together (Isaiah Part 2)

    Isaiah 1:1-4 As Isaiah drew closer to God, he became aware of sin, both his own and that of his people. He prophesied for decades while his country went through huge political and economic changes (e.g. Isaiah 1:7 to 2:7).

    Isaiah mentions many different types of sins, including:

    1. Greedy leaders (56:10-11)
    2. Violence (59:6-7)
    3. Hypocrisy (66:3)
    4. Rejecting God’s prophets (30:10-11)
    5. Refusing to trust God (30:1-2)
    6. Arrogance (3:9, 16)
    7. Drunkenness (28:7-8)
    8. Unclean speech (59:3, 13)
    9. Dismissing God (17:10; 57:11)
    10. Rebellion against God (22:12-13)
    11. Injustice (3:14-15)
    12. Idolatry (57:5-6)

    Isaiah 59:1-4, 7-11, 14-15 This description pulls together many threads of the people’s sin into a striking tapestry.

    Isaiah 1:11-15 Even amid all this sinning, the people continued with their religious duties.

    Isaiah 1:16-20 God appeals to His people to come and reason together. He yearns to show them favor (30:18) and to cleanse them.

  • Here Am I, Send Me (Isaiah Part 1) by Vince Finnegan

    Isaiah 6 occurred early in his ministry, maybe chronologically before or immediately after chapter one.

    Isaiah 6:1 Compare with 1:1.
    2 Seraphim are spoken of only twice; both in this chapter. They are spiritual beings in the throne room of God. Similar to Ezekiel 1 and 10; Revelation 4
    3 Revelation 4:8
    5 Unclean lips – the context is that God commissions him to be His spokesman. Unclean lips are the manifestation of an unclean heart. Matthew 15:11-18
    7 We cannot eliminate our iniquity; only God can.
    John 14:10 The words that I say to you I do not speak on My own initiative, but the Father abiding in Me does His works.
    8-9 Isaiah is a type for Jesus. John 4:34; 5:24, 30; 6:38, 39; 7:33; 9:4; 12:44; 13:20; and 16:5
    8 “Here I am. Send me!” Isaiah 20:3
    9-10 Many quotations and allusions are in the New Testament. The prophet Isaiah is quoted or referred to some eighty-five times in the New Testament. But several passages are cited or alluded to more than once, so that sixty-one separate passages are referred to in these eighty-five New Testament citations.
    Matthew 13:14; Mark 4:12; Luke 8:10; John 12:40; Acts 28:26-27; Romans 11:8
    Isaiah 6:10 There is a correlation between healing, humility, and sin.
    53:4-5 Prophecy about Jesus
    57:14-21
    Genesis 20:17 The first healing in the Scriptures after he repented and made right what he did wrong–God healed him.
    Exodus 15:26 If you obey, I will heal you.
    Psalm 41:1-4
    Psalm 103:1-5

  • Life of Mary by Sean Finnegan

    Luke 1:26-56 Mary was a young woman living in Nazareth who was betrothed to Joseph. The angel, Gabriel, came to her with a mind-blowing message–she would bear the future king of Israel! She courageously accepted this role with the words, “I am the servant of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word.” In these words, Mary exemplifies to all of us courageous faith.

    Matthew 1:18-25 Joseph was deeply disturbed to discover his betrothed was with child. God intervened with Joseph through dreams to confirm her wild assertion that she was pregnant through a miracle rather than another man.
    Luke 2:19 When the shepherds arrived shortly after Jesus’ birth, Mary saw God’s confirmation and treasured these things in her heart. (See also Luke 2:51.) Other validations of Jesus’ identity occurred when Simeon and Anna testified in the temple as well as when the strange men from the east arrived with treasures.
    Matthew 2 After God warned Joseph in a dream, Mary and her family fled to Africa to take refuge from the evil king. It is likely that some of Jesus’ siblings were born then, but also afterward when they settled in Nazareth (Mat 13:55-56). An experience like this must have greatly bolstered Mary’s confidence and trust in God to take care of her.
    Mark 3:20-21, 31 Even though Mary had been through so much, she came to doubt Jesus during his ministry.
    John 19:25; Matthew 27:55-56 However, she accompanied him to Jerusalem during his last fateful week and was there during his crucifixion.
    Acts 1:14 In the end, Mary was there, at one accord with the early church, devoting herself to prayer.

  • Speak Life

    Proverbs 18:21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue.
    Deuteronomy 30:15 See, I have set before you today life and prosperity, and death and adversity;
    Deuteronomy 30:19 I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse. So choose life in order that you may live, you and your descendants,
    James 3:8-10 But no one can tame the tongue; it is a restless evil and full of deadly poison.

    With it we bless our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in the likeness of God; from the same mouth come both blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not to be this way.

    Romans 12:14 Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse.
    1 Timothy 6:20-21 Avoiding worldly and empty chatter
    2 Timothy 2:15-18 Their talk will spread like gangrene.
    Titus 3:8-11 Factious – schismatic, contentious, argumentative, disagreeing, disputatious, quarrelling, clashing
    Jeremiah 23:9-18, 23-32 Prophet is an interpreter or spokesman for God: one through whom God speaks.
    Jeremiah 23:29 The Word is as fire is quick and powerful capable of trying us as metals are tried in a furnace. As a hammer breaks the hardest rock, so God’s Word breaks the hardest and most obstinate heart.
    Matthew 7:15-20; 24:11, 24; 2 Peter 2:1-3 Jesus warned us that there will be many false teachers and prophets.

    Dichotomy of pro-life or pro-choice: the opposite of pro-life is pro-death. Homosexuality is another acceptable lifestyle.

    1 Peter 1:23-24 The Word of God spoken to us is why we are born again.
    Luke 8:15 The spoken Word is the seed that produces godly fruit.
    Matthew 4:1-11 The spoken Word is how we counter temptations.
    Ephesians 6:17 Sword of the spirit. You have in your mouth the words of life or the words of death.

  • Resurrection Prophecy

    Jesus taught resurrection from the Old Testament Scriptures. Luke 18:31; 24:44-46
    Paul taught resurrection from the Hebrew Scriptures. Acts 17:2-3; 24:14-15; 26:22-23; 1 Cor 15:3-4

    Abraham

    He believed in God — that God could bring life from death. Gen 17:15-19; Heb 11:11-12; Rom 4:16-25
    He offered Isaac, believing in resurrection. Gen 22:1-14; Heb 11:17-20

    David

    He prophesied that the Messiah would not see corruption. Ps 16:10; Acts 2:22-32

    The Messiah was first to be raised from the dead. Others will follow. Because he was raised, we will live again! 1 Corinthians 15:20-23; Rom 8:11; Col 1:18

    Job 19:25-26

    Job foresaw that his redeemer would live, and he would see life again. Job 19:25-26

    Psalm 49:7-15

    The psalmist knew that no man can rescue himself from death, but there will be redemption from Sheol!

    Isaiah 25:6-9; 26:19

    Isaiah spoke of resurrection. Death will be swallowed up for all time!

    Daniel 12:1-2

    Daniel spoke of resurrection.

    Ezekiel 37:1-15

    This is not simply figurative language about a restoration of Israel. There will be a real, literal resurrection of the dead. We now can know for certain and have confidence in our future because Jesus Christ was raised from the dead — the first fruits of all who sleep in the dust of the earth.

    John 5:28-29; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 Christ is coming back!

    1 Peter 1:3-5 We have a living hope — a message of salvation to share. Spread the good news!

  • Resurrection Faith

    John 19:38-42 Joseph of Arimathea buried Jesus in a new tomb in a garden. Jewish burial practices at the time of Jesus involved anointing the body, wrapping it in a garment, putting it in a tomb, waiting a year, collecting the bones, and putting them in an ossuary. The people really believed God could turn dried bones into living people on the last day.
    John 20:1-2 We know a little about Mary Magdalene from other Scriptures, including Mark 15:37-40, 46-47; Luke 8:1-3. Jesus had delivered her from seven demons. After this, she was a dedicated disciple of Christ who travelled with him and the others.
    John 20:2-10 Peter and the other disciple come running and leave. At this point, they’re just trying to figure out what happened to Jesus’ body. Where did he go? Who took him?
    John 20:10-13 Mary stayed behind after the others left. She must’ve been utterly bewildered. Through her tears, she saw two angels and asked them for help locating Jesus.
    John 20:14-18 Mary is the first one to experience the most thrilling event in all Christian history. She sees him, and he’s alive! She tells the disciples, but they don’t believe her (Luke 24:10-11).
    1 Corinthians 15:22-24, 51-55 Jesus’ resurrection means that we too will experience resurrection when he returns. This is a radical idea in sharp contrast to most other beliefs about the afterlife. Still, we can have confidence in the future resurrection because we’ve already seen the real thing in Jesus. This gives us tremendous hope.

    Luke 7:28-35 Jesus was in Nain after dead man was raised; John was still alive. Pharisees did not respond right to John or Jesus
    Luke 7:36-37 She was apparently a known sinner and had access to the Pharisee’s house. Maybe she worked for him. She came with planned intention with the alabaster box.
    38 Weeping — washing — wiping — kissing — anointing
    Acts 4:35 To lie at someone’s feet can mean to give over to the care and charge of another.

    Genesis 18:4; 19:2 Washing the feet showed respect, kindness, loving hospitality, humility.
    Luke 7:39 The Pharisee was the complete antithesis of the woman. In the world’s eyes, she was marginalized, insignificant, even disdained, while he was exalted and respected.

  • The Passover Lamb

    “For even Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us”
    – 1 Corinthians 5:7b (KJV)

    The First Passover

    The children of Israel were in bondage in Egypt under the rule of Pharaoh.

    Exodus 3:16-22

    God called the man, Moses, to go before Pharaoh, to bring His deliverance, to lead Israel out of Egypt and bring them to the Promised Land. He was to go before Pharaoh and declare, “Let My people go.” However, God knew that Pharaoh would release the children of Israel only under compulsion.

    God sent 10 plagues upon the Egyptians, and after the tenth plague, Pharaoh would release the children of Israel from their bondage. The final plague was the death of the firstborn in Egypt. Exodus 11:1-6

    Exodus 12:1-13
    The Passover lamb was slain at twilight/even on the 14th of Nisan. The words translated “at twilight” or “at even” is a unique Hebrew phrase ben ha arbayim, meaning “between the two evenings.” This phrase is used for the time of day to sacrifice the Passover (Ex 12:6; Lev 23:5; Nu 9:3, 5, 11); the time of the evening sacrifice (Ex 29:39, 41; Nu 28:4, 8); when the high priest burned the evening incense (Ex 30:8); and one time when the children of Israel ate meat the evening before the manna arrived (Ex 16:12). According to Deuteronomy, the Passover was to be slain “at the going down of the sun” (Deu 16:6). This was a time between noon, when the sun was at highest, and sunset. Then at sunset, a new day began. They were to sprinkle the blood on the doorposts and lintel of their houses. Then, the Passover was to be eaten that night — the 15th of Nisan.
    Exodus 12:14-17
    The Feast of Unleavened Bread coincided with the Feast of Passover, starting that night, the 15th of Nisan.
    Exodus 12:21-28 The first Passover observed
    Exodus 12:29-42
    Pharaoh released the children of Israel. The Israelites plundered the Egyptians. After 430 years of sojourning, the children of Israel left Egypt.

    Jesus, the Lamb of God

    1 Corinthians 5:7; John 1:29, 36; Isaiah 53:7; 1 Peter 3:18-19
    Matthew 27:46, 50; Mark 15:34, 37; Luke 23:44, 46. Jesus died around the 9th hour — about 3 pm in the afternoon at ben ha arbayim – between the two evenings.
    John 19:32-36
    Not a bone of him shall be broken — Ex 12:46; Num 9:12; Ps 34:20.
    Revelation 5:6-14
    Jesus, the Lamb (Jesus is referred to as “the Lamb” 26 times in the book of Revelation.)
