Part 1 of 2
This week we talk about Faith VS. Faithfulness. When we learned the story of Samson in Sunday school, it was probably a story about strength, love, betrayal and heroism. What we learn when we read the story as adults with the full context and maturity of adulthood you can see that the story of Samson is about a slow fade to unfaithfulness. Samson teaches us that once we lose our faithfulness, the world will overcome us. Today we will learn that a commitment to FAITHFULNESS is far more difficult than a commitment to FAITH because commitment to Jesus means being a disciple and not just a “believer.”

God is not produced out of other gods, nor does he battle other gods for supremacy, but He is the One, and only God. (Not the undisputed champion, but the ONLY champion). John 1:1-5 “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning. 3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. 4 In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.” This is part two of a two part discussion.

Moses seems to formulate Genesis 1 using the same narration model as other mythologies within ancient Mesopotamia to contrast the difference between Yahweh and polytheism. His point intends to show God has no challenger therefore God’s will cannot be thwarted. Even today, God battles for our attention, time, energy, focus, and affections; and sometimes, even WE challenge God’s will with our own. But historical perspective shows us no outside character can thwart God’s will. Hebraic perspective shows us God’s character will not change His will. This is Part one of a two-part discussion.

We will discuss, and learn something tonight that may make us uncomfortable on multiple levels, so we must be careful. We have two points: one is how to read the bible, the other is practical. Sensational super-natural events can be a common go-to interpretation when we don’t understand aspects of a narrative. This becomes difficult because God does enact sensational super-natural events sometimes, but we have to remember a fact both science and the bible affirm: the natural state of everything is nothing. So if the natural state of everything is nothing, then the existence of anything is supernatural!

Why Bethlehem? What do you remember Bethlehem for? Geography is very important to Luke: He uses Geographic progression in his theology. Bethlehem was nothing. It had no political, cultural, or economic influence or power in the region at the time. Much of Israel may have lost site of the heritage, but Bethlehem, the family line, who produced King David, did not. They linked the glory of David to the promise that “out of Bethlehem, from the line of David would come One who would re-establish the glory of David’s throne”. That One was Jesus.
