Bible Passage (KJV): Jeremiah 29:10-14

10 For thus saith the LORD, That after seventy years be accomplished at Babylon I will visit you, and perform my good word toward you, in causing you to return to this place.

12 Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you. 

13 And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart. 

14 And I will be found of you, saith the LORD: and I will turn away your captivity, and I will gather you from all the nations, and from all the places whither I have driven you, saith the LORD; and I will bring you again into the place whence I caused you to be carried away captive.

God Equips With The Holy Spirit (1 Samuel 16:13-23)

Speaker: Reverend Joseph Poon

Website: http://www.bpcwa.org.au/

====

Bible Passage (KJV): 1 Samuel 16:13-23

13 Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brethren: and the Spirit of the LORD came upon David from that day forward. So Samuel rose up, and went to Ramah. 

14 But the Spirit of the LORD departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the LORD troubled him. 

15 And Saul's servants said unto him, Behold now, an evil spirit from God troubleth thee. 

16 Let our lord now command thy servants, which are before thee, to seek out a man, who is a cunning player on an harp: and it shall come to pass, when the evil spirit from God is upon thee, that he shall play with his hand, and thou shalt be well. 

17 And Saul said unto his servants, Provide me now a man that can play well, and bring him to me. 

18 Then answered one of the servants, and said, Behold, I have seen a son of Jesse the Bethlehemite, that is cunning in playing, and a mighty valiant man, and a man of war, and prudent in matters, and a comely person, and the LORD is with him. 

19 Wherefore Saul sent messengers unto Jesse, and said, Send me David thy son, which is with the sheep. 

20 And Jesse took an ass laden with bread, and a bottle of wine, and a kid, and sent them by David his son unto Saul. 

21 And David came to Saul, and stood before him: and he loved him greatly; and he became his armourbearer. 

22 And Saul sent to Jesse, saying, Let David, I pray thee, stand before me; for he hath found favour in my sight. 

23 And it came to pass, when the evil spirit from God was upon Saul, that David took an harp, and played with his hand: so Saul was refreshed, and was well, and the evil spirit departed from him.

=====

Bible Passage (KJV): 1 Peter 4:14-18

14 If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified.

15 But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men's matters.

16 Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.

17 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?

18 And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?

CHAPTER XXIX OF THE LORD'S SUPPER

4. Private masses, or receiving this sacrament by a priest, or any other, alone;7 as likewise the denial of the cup to the people;8 worshipping the elements, the lifting them up, or carrying them about for adoration, and the reserving them for any pretended religious use; are all contrary to the nature of this sacrament, and to the institution of Christ.9

7. I Cor. 10:6

8. Mark 14:23; I Cor. 11:25-29

9. Matt. 15:9

5. The outward elements in this sacrament, duly set apart to the uses ordained by Christ, have such relation to him crucified, as that truly, yet sacramentally only, they are sometimes called by the name of the things they represent, to wit, the body and blood of Christ;10 albeit, in substance and nature, they still remain truly and only bread and wine, as they were before.11

10. Matt. 26:26-28

11. I Cor. 11:26-28; Matt. 26:29

6. That doctrine which maintains a change of the substance of bread and wine into the substance of Christ’s body and blood (commonly called Transubstantiation) by consecration of a priest, or by any other way, is repugnant not to Scripture alone, but even to common sense and reason; overthroweth the nature of the sacrament; and hath been and is the cause of manifold superstitions, yea, of gross idolatries.12

12. Acts 3:21; with I Cor. 11:24-26; Luke 24:6,39
