“1 Peter 2:5 – In His Hands, We Are Built”
Messages
The Passover is the introduction to God’s Holy Day plan and is the key to the rest of the Holy Days, this is why God allowed it to be kept in the second month, if the first month observance was missed. We should prioritize self-examination and understand that Christ give us the worthiness to come and keep the Passover service.
Some claim that using this verbiage from Matthew 28:19 when baptizing someone proves that there is a Trinity or Triune God. Is that claim true? And, what does it mean to be baptized “in the name of” Jesus Christ? What about being baptized “in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit?” Is there a difference? We’ll examine these questions and discuss them in this message.
Since God is our Father, let’s envision embracing His forgiveness with deep love and connection in preparation for the coming Passover. Let’s place that forgiveness in a place of high importance in our lives, and show the same forgiveness to our fellow man.
We will look at examples of individuals who did not take responsibilities for their actions and suffered for it. If we are humble and take responsibility for our actions before God, we see growth happen and blessings.
Some claim that the masculine gender of the pronoun in the Greek text of John 16:13 proves the Holy Spirit is a person or being. Is this true?
No one enjoys being corrected, being told, ‘You’re wrong!”. Yet we are told by the scriptures that correction from God shows us that He loves us. He will not allow us to walk down a path that will bring us to destruction.
As Children of God, what is our focus? I share a first hand experience from the Feast of Tabernacles in Chile from 2009 where we learned once again that “things” don’t make us happy. Reflecting on our blessings, and relationship with God , along with Matthew 5 helps us refocus on a daily basis.
Psalm 1 is beautifully simple and profound all in a very short psalm. It contrasts the way of the righteous and the wicked by describing the blessedness of the righteous who do not walk as the wicked do. We add to the message of this psalm from various other places in scripture to magnify its effect.
Many Christians would like to discredit or totally ignore the book of Genesis in the Bible. It forms the core of what comes throughout the rest of the Bible. Core principles are found in the first chapters of Genesis that we must not forget to review and remember.
