Revering the Word

Whether one experiences judgement of eternal life will all be base on whether they have trusted in Jesus.  Confess with your mouth Jesus is Lord and God raised Him from the dead, get baptized and be saved.

If you want the historical context of Zephaniah please listen to the teaching on chapter 1.  

This is a rather short teaching.  In order to understand Zephaniah’s message please listen to the background given in chapter 1’s teaching.

In this chapter we go over an important review of Eschatology: The study of last things.  Zephaniah is speaking of God’s judgement not only upon Judah of his day but the future judgement that is coming upon our world. Will you escape it? How?

In this chapter Habakkuk writes a song about praising and glorifying God, even amidst trial and hardship.  It is a great lesson for us now or for preparation for our future.

In this chapter, God challenges Habakkuk to wait on God and live by faith, even amidst suffering.  One day God will restore. Until then he is to live by faith.

In this opening chapter Habakkuk has a complaint towards God.  Why are you not hearing my prayer and allowing for bad things to happen?  It is an honest question.  In this book God responds to the complaint.  Habakkuk may have forgotten about mankind’s failure to live for God rightly.

This book is a prophecy against an enemy nation called Assyria.  In this teaching I give the history of God’s people and Assyria and help us understand when Nahum prophesied.  What is incredible is that his prophecies came true.  There are some important lessons I share briefly in this message that spans and summarizes all three chapters.
1. God has judgement and wrath on his enemies and those who reject Jesus.
2. God knows who takes refuge in Him and his son Jesus.
3. God will restore blessing on Israel
4. God’s prophets and God himself are proven true because what He and they said would happen, historically did happen.

Jude 1 What is the standard of Christianity you and your church hold to?

No matter what church you go to there will be problems because there are people there. Because of that we should not be surprised and engage knowing this truth.  In addition the passage deals with walking in the truth and generosity towards ministry and ministers.

John writes to a woman and compliments her greatly but also compels her to stick with the truth and not be hospitable to those promoting false teaching.
