Matthew 22:1-13 “22 And Jesus answering spoke to them again in parables, saying,2 The kingdom of the heavens has become like a king who made a wedding feast for his son,3 and sent his bondmen to call the persons invited to the wedding feast, and they would not come.4 Again he sent other bondmen, saying, Say to the persons invited, Behold, I have prepared my dinner; my oxen and my fatted beasts are killed, and all things ready; come to the wedding feast.5 But they made light of it, and went, one to his own land, and another to his commerce.

6 And the rest, laying hold of his bondmen, ill-treated and slew [them].7 And [when] the king [heard of it he] was wroth, and having sent his forces, destroyed those murderers and burned their city.8 Then he says to his bondmen, The wedding feast is ready, but those invited were not worthy;9 go therefore into the thoroughfares of the highways, and as many as ye shall find invite to the wedding feast.

10 And those bondmen went out into the highways, and brought together all as many as they found, both evil and good; and the wedding feast was furnished with guests.11 And the king, having gone in to see the guests, beheld there a man not clothed with a wedding garment.12 And he says to him, [My] friend, how camest thou in here not having on a wedding garment? But he was speechless.13 Then said the king to the servants, Bind him feet and hands, and take him away, and cast him out into the outer darkness: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.”

2 Samuel 9:3-8 “3 And the king said, Is there not yet any of the house of Saul, that I may shew the kindness of God to him? And Ziba said to the king, Jonathan has yet a son, who is lame on [his] feet.4 And the king said to him, Where is he? And Ziba said to the king, Behold, he is in the house of Machir the son of Ammiel, in Lodebar.5 And king David sent, and fetched him out of the house of Machir the son of Ammiel, from Lodebar.

6 And Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, came to David, and fell on his face and did obeisance. And David said, Mephibosheth. And he said, Behold thy servant!7 And David said to him, Fear not; for I will certainly shew thee kindness for Jonathan thy father’s sake, and will restore thee all the land of Saul thy father; and thou shalt eat bread at my table continually.8 And he bowed himself, and said, What is thy servant, that thou shouldest look upon such a dead dog as I am?”

2 Samuel 9:12-13 “12 And Mephibosheth had a young son, whose name was Mica. And all who dwelt in the house of Ziba were servants to Mephibosheth.13 So Mephibosheth dwelt in Jerusalem; for he did eat continually at the king’s table.”

It is a wonderful thing to come to know Jesus as your personal Saviour. To know that our sins have been forgiven and we have peace with God.

In this ministry word we look at scriptures form God’s word to encourage the believer in Jesus to stand for God in days of difficulty.

Bible Scriptures: Darby Translation 

Romans 8:1-4 “8 [There is] then now no condemnation to those in Christ Jesus.2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set me free from the law of sin and of death.3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God, having sent his own Son, in likeness of flesh of sin, and for sin, has condemned sin in the flesh,4 in order that the righteous requirement of the law should be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to flesh but according to Spirit.”

Romans 7:15-18 “15 For that which I do, I do not own: for not what I will, this I do; but what I hate, this I practise.16 But if what I do not will, this I practise, I consent to the law that [it is] right.17 Now then [it is] no longer *I* [that] do it, but the sin that dwells in me.18 For I know that in me, that is, in my flesh, good does not dwell: “

Galatians 2:20 “20 I am crucified with Christ, and no longer live, *I*, but Christ lives in me; but [in] that I now live in flesh, I live by faith, the [faith] of the Son of God, who has loved me and given himself for me.”

Where are you looking for peace, hope or forgiveness? Many people are on the search for peace but cannot find it. Often we think peace can be found in wealth, possessions or in a good career but so many are disappointed even when they obtain some or all of these things. God has provided a Saviour, Jesus Christ that you might have peace in your heart. The Lord Jesus is able to give you true peace by the blood of His cross. Our sins though many can be completely forgiven because of the work of Christ.

64 Command therefore that the sepulchre be secured until the third day, lest his disciples should come and steal him away, and say to the people, He is risen from the dead; and the last error shall be worse than the first.65 And Pilate said to them, Ye have a watch: go, secure it as well as ye know how.66 And they went and secured the sepulchre, having sealed the stone, with the watch [besides].”

God sees everything and the scriptures says that “all things are laid bare to His eyes”. Nothing is hidden or covered up in the sight of God. In this Gospel preaching, you will hear the story of about the prophet Jonah. God asked Jonah to go a preach to Nineveh and call them to repentance but Jonah fled and ran from God. There are many people today who are running from God today. The glorious news of the Gospel is that God has drawn near to us in the person of His Son, Jesus Christ. Our sins can be forgiven and peace can be given because of the completed work at Calvary.

Hebrews 4:12 “12 For the word of God [is] living and operative, and sharper than any two-edged sword, and penetrating to [the] division of soul and spirit, both of joints and marrow, and a discerner of the thoughts and intents of [the] heart. 13 And there is not a creature unapparent before him; but all things [are] naked and laid bare to his eyes, with whom we have to do.”

Jonah 1:1-17 “1 And the word of Jehovah came unto Jonah the son of Amittai, saying,2 Arise, go to Nineveh, the great city, and cry against it; for their wickedness is come up before me.3 But Jonah rose up to flee unto Tarshish from the presence of Jehovah; and he went down to Joppa, and found a ship going to Tarshish; so he paid the fare thereof, and went down into it, to go with them unto Tarshish, from the presence of Jehovah.4 But Jehovah sent out a great wind upon the sea, and there was a mighty tempest upon the sea, so that the ship was like to be broken.

5 And the mariners were afraid, and cried every one unto his god; and they cast forth the wares that were in the ship into the sea, to be lightened of them. But Jonah had gone down into the lower part of the ship; and he lay, and was fast asleep.6 And the shipmaster came to him, and said unto him, What meanest thou, sleeper? arise, call upon thy God; perhaps God will think upon us, that we perish not.7 And they said each one to his fellow, Come, and let us cast lots, that we may know for whose cause this evil is upon us. And they cast lots, and the lot fell upon Jonah.8 And they said unto him, Tell us, we pray thee, for whose cause this evil is upon us: what is thine occupation? and whence comest thou? what is thy country? and of what people art thou?

9 And he said unto them, I am a Hebrew, and I fear Jehovah, the God of the heavens, who hath made the sea and the dry [land].10 Then were the men exceedingly afraid, and said unto him, What is this thou hast done? For the men knew that he fled from the presence of Jehovah: for he had told them.11 And they said unto him, What shall we do unto thee, that the sea may be calm unto us? for the sea grew more and more tempestuous.

12 And he said unto them, Take me up, and cast me forth into the sea; so shall the sea be calm unto you: for I know that because of me this great tempest is upon you.13 But the men rowed hard to regain the land; but they could not; for the sea grew more and more tempestuous against them.14 And they cried unto Jehovah and said, Ah, Jehovah, we beseech thee, let us not perish for this man’s life, and lay not upon us innocent blood: for thou, Jehovah, hast done as it pleased thee.15 And they took up Jonah, and cast him forth into the sea: and the sea ceased from its raging.16 And the men feared Jehovah exceedingly, and offered a sacrifice unto Jehovah, and made vows.17 And Jehovah prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.”

Jonah 2:1-10 “2 And Jonah prayed unto Jehovah his God out of the fish’s belly;2 and he said: I cried by reason of my distress unto Jehovah, and he answered me; Out of the belly of Sheol cried I: thou heardest my voice.3 For thou didst cast me into the depth, into the heart of the seas, And the flood was round about me: All thy breakers and thy billows are gone over me.

We like to have loads of options available to us when we buy and house, buy a car or perhaps when we think about our career. This world loves multiple choice. The Gospel only presents two roads, the broad road and the narrow road. Only one road leads to life and that is by coming to the Lord Jesus Christ. The Bible says all men have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God and as a result of our sin we find ourselves on the broad road. The Gospel preached because God love you and he desires for you to come to Jesus the Saviour who wants to give you eternal life.

Jude 1:11 “11 Woe to them! because they have gone in the way of Cain”

Genesis 4:3-7 “3 And in process of time it came to pass that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering to Jehovah.4 And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock, and of their fat. And Jehovah looked upon Abel, and on his offering;5 and upon Cain, and on his offering, he did not look. And Cain was very angry, and his countenance fell.

6 And Jehovah said to Cain, Why art thou angry, and why is thy countenance fallen?7 If thou doest well, will not [thy countenance] look up [with confidence]? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door; and unto thee [shall be] his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.”

Luke 23:39-43 “39 Now one of the malefactors who had been hanged spoke insultingly to him, saying, Art not thou the Christ? save thyself and us.40 But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost *thou* too not fear God, thou that art under the same judgment?41 and *we* indeed justly, for we receive the just recompense of what we have done; but this [man] has done nothing amiss.42 And he said to Jesus, Remember me, [Lord,] when thou comest in thy kingdom.43 And Jesus said to him, Verily I say to thee, To-day shalt thou be with me in paradise.”

Numbers 21:4-9 “4 And they journeyed from mount Hor by the way of the Red sea, to go round the land of Edom; and the soul of the people became impatient on the way;5 and the people spoke against God, and against Moses, Why have ye brought us up out of Egypt that we should die in the wilderness? for there is no bread, and no water, and our soul loathes this light bread.6 Then Jehovah sent fiery serpents among the people, which bit the people; and much people of Israel died.

7 And the people came to Moses and said, We have sinned, in that we have spoken against Jehovah, and against thee: pray to Jehovah that he take away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people.8 And Jehovah said to Moses, Make thee a fiery [serpent], and set it upon a pole; and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, and looketh upon it, shall live.9 And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole; and it came to pass, if a serpent had bitten any man, and he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived.”

John 3:14-16 14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, thus must the Son of man be lifted up,15 that every one who believes on him may [not perish, but] have life eternal.16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only-begotten Son, that whosoever believes on him may not perish, but have life eternal.”
