Sabbath Meditations

 

"SHEMINI" (Eighth)

Leviticus 9:1-11:47; Ezekiel 45:18-46:15; Mark 9:1-13

Now it happened on the eighth day that Moses called Aaron, his sons, and the elders of Israel. {Lev 9:1 TLV}

SUNDAY MESSAGE

"...IN EVERYTHING YOU WERE ENRICHED..."

1Co 1:5 NASB

I thank my God always concerning you for the grace of God which was given you in Christ Jesus, that in everything you were enriched in Him, in all speech and all knowledge, even as the testimony concerning Christ was confirmed in you, so that you are not lacking in any gift, awaiting eagerly the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ, who will also confirm you to the end, blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. (1Co 1:4-8 NASB)

OPENING PRAYER

Awesome Creator and Father, we are granted by Your will and Grace the privilege of sojourning on this earth for a very short period of time. Through the 70, 80, or 90 plus years allotted to us, remove the scales from our eyes so as to see clearly the words YOU wrote on our hearts long before we were created. Grant us an addiction to place You and the Kingdom First and foremost in all our routines. We pray in the name of Jesus the Christ, AMEN

MESSAGE

For while we were still helpless, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. For one will hardly die for a righteous man; though perhaps for the good man someone would dare even to die. But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. {Rom 5:6-8 NASB}

In him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily. And we are complete in him, who is the head of all principality and power. WOW! What a statement, what a TRUTH! I could stand here all day long and tell you about these and many other TRUTHs. I could read out loud back-to-back scripture for hours at a time. None of this would be very productive unless those hearing were willing to commit and truly embrace JESUS as your personal Savior.

In {Jhn 15:4}, Jesus says; Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine; neither can you, except if you abide in me. I am the vine you are the branches: he that abides in me and I in him, this brings forth much fruit: but without me you can do nothing.

I can tell you in good faith that Jesus is not overly concerned with all that you have done in the past. You are a sinner and He knows that. We all have things that we are not proud of, or acts that still brings on a sense of shame. His concern is for your future! He made you.

{Rom 7:18} For I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my flesh; for the willing is present in me, but the doing of the good is not. In {Eph 4:7} we find the following written; But to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of Christ's gift. The Lord's measure is unending!

When Jesus breathed His last and gave up His spirit to the Father, He willingly took on all of the sin of all the world's population, carrying it on His shoulders to His death. Jesus took our place and released us from Adam's original eternal sin.

We were saved BY GRACE, IN FAITH, through JESUS, according to HOLY SCRIPTURE, all in GLORY TO GOD! Jesus became the ONLY DOOR to the KINGDOM of HEAVEN. No one enters the Kingdom except by JESUS.

{Col 3:16-17} Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you, with all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with thankfulness in your hearts to God. Whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father.

SUMMARY

There remains yet another tool to always keep handy and ready to use. Beyond Grace, Faith, and Holy Scripture, this tool is a most powerful key to Celestial Holy Communication. Prayer!

Prayer combined with Holy Scripture forms this unbreakable bond, through Jesus the Christ, that paves the way to the Kingdom; Then [Jesus] lifted up His eyes toward His disciples, and said: "Blessed are you poor, for yours is the Kingdom of God." {Luk 6:20 NKJV}

As we opened this message, so shall we close it; I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given you by Jesus Christ; That in every thing ye are enriched by him, in all utterance, and in all knowledge; Even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you: So that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord. (1Co 1:4-9 KJV)

Seek the Kingdom FIRST, and FIRST in Prayer; Jesus said in John 3:3, NKJV: "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God."

CLOSING PRAYER

O' Holy Spirit that resides in us, guide us, we pray, to be consistent and with Holy purpose to habitually seek Your favor in all that we do. From the moment we stir from our slumber in the mornings to the closing prayers at bed time, lead us, O Lord, grant us the words that only our souls can utter, and cause us to develop this Holy routine each and every day. In the name of Jesus the Christ, AMEN.

DOXOLOGY

Praise God, from Whom all blessings flow;

Praise Him, all creatures here below;

Praise Him above, Ye heaven-ly host;

Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost

Amen

THE CALL

If you have never invited Jesus to be your Lord and savior, or, if you have in the past yet remain unsure of salvation and forgiveness of sin, Please pray with me now: Lord Jesus I need to fill a hole in my life that follows me where ever I go. I am a long-time Sinner and I CONFESS and REPENT of all my sins. I believe that You JESUS are the Lord, that you were hung on a cross and died. I believe that you were raised back to life by God, Your Father, ascended into heaven and presently sit at the right hand of The Almighty. Please come into me, clean me, take me and make me Yours and let me serve from this day forward and forever, Thank-You Jesus, AMEN

If you sincerely prayed with me, your salvation has been assured. {Rom 10:9 KJV} -That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

Waste no time in finding like minded folks, to fellowship with, who also know the lord Jesus. Be introduced to a church that preaches the BIBLE. Email me. Begin the journey that you will never tire of; the discovery of the Majesty, Beauty and loving Power of Jesus the Christ. Welcome to the family!

Sunday Message

"THE RESURRECTION--HE IS RISEN"

John 11:25-26

OPENING PRAYER

Oh LORD, our GOD, we gather here in Your presence to worship and celebrate the powerful and beautiful resurrection of Your only Begotten SON, JESUS the CHRIST. We will hear details of this incredible miracle from those on the scene. As the recollection unfolds, empower us, O' Father, to imagine with ultra-clarity the vision of our RISEN SAVIOR in the forty days leading to HIS Ascension into Heaven. Grant us privilege to partake of HOLY COMMUNION, sharing the LAST SUPPER's Holy Sacrament in remembrance of the eternal bond we have to our Messiah, our Christ, Amen.

MESSAGE

Last week, the PASSION week, the start was glorious as Jesus rode into Jerusalem, Humble, riding on a donkey. By mid-week, the darkness began to overcome all reason and the Jews then placed the Messiah into the hands of the Romans for crucifixion. What a horrible, HORRIBLE scene that was. Here is the wondrous NEWS: On the third day, TODAY, Almighty God RAISED JESUS from the dead to the Living. And He shall live forever. I have the latest NEWS as reported by the Apostle John. After we hear this wonderfully EXTRAORDINARY news, You and I will recall the LAST SUPPER and will dine in HOLY COMMUNION with the Master hidden safely in HIS blessed embrace.

Joh 20:1-29  Now on the first day of the week [SUNDAY] Mary Magdalene *came early to the tomb, while it *was still dark, and *saw the stone already taken away from the tomb.  (2)  So she *ran and *came to Simon Peter and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and *said to them, "They have taken away the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid Him."  

(3)  So Peter and the other disciple went forth, and they were going to the tomb.  (4)  The two were running together; and the other disciple ran ahead faster than Peter and came to the tomb first;  (5)  and stooping and looking in, he *saw the linen wrappings lying there; but he did not go in.  

(6)  And so Simon Peter also *came, following him, and entered the tomb; and he *saw the linen wrappings lying there,  (7)  and the face-cloth which had been on His head, not lying with the linen wrappings, but rolled up in a place by itself.  (8)  So the other disciple who had first come to the tomb then also entered, and he saw and believed.  (9)  For as yet they did not understand the Scripture, that He must rise again from the dead.  

(10)  So the disciples went away again to their own homes.  (11)  But Mary was standing outside the tomb weeping; and so, as she wept, she stooped and looked into the tomb;  (12)  and she *saw two angels in white sitting, one at the head and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus had been lying.  (13)  And they *said to her, "Woman, why are you weeping?" She *said to them, "Because they have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid Him."  (14)  When she had said this, she turned around and *saw Jesus standing there, and did not know that it was Jesus.  (15)  Jesus *said to her, "Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?" Supposing Him to be the gardener, she *said to Him, "Sir, if you have carried Him away, tell me where you have laid Him, and I will take Him away."  (16)  Jesus *said to her, "Mary!" She turned and *said to Him in Hebrew, "Rabboni!" (which means, Teacher).  (17)  Jesus *said to her, "Stop clinging to Me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to My brethren and say to them, 'I ascend to My Father and your Father, and My God and your God.'"  (18)  Mary Magdalene *came, announcing to the disciples, "I have seen the Lord," and that He had said these things to her.  

(19)  So when it was evening on that day, the first day of the week, and when the doors were shut where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in their midst and *said to them, "Peace be with you."  (20)  And when He had said this, He showed them both His hands and His side. The disciples then rejoiced when they saw the Lord.  (21)  So Jesus said to them again, "Peace be with you; as the Father has sent Me, I also send you."  (22)  And when He had said this, He breathed on them and *said to them, "Receive the Holy Spirit.  (23)  "If you forgive the sins of any, their sins have been forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they have been retained."  

(24)  But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.  (25)  So the other disciples were saying to him, "We have seen the Lord!" But he said to them, "Unless I see in His hands the imprint of the nails, and put my finger into the place of the nails, and put my hand into His side, I will not believe."  

(26)  After eight days His disciples were again inside, and Thomas with them. Jesus *came, the doors having been shut, and stood in their midst and said, "Peace be with you."  (27)  Then He *said to Thomas, "Reach here with your finger, and see My hands; and reach here your hand and put it into My side; and do not be unbelieving, but believing."  (28)  Thomas answered and said to Him, "My Lord and my God!"  (29)  Jesus *said to him, "Because you have seen Me, have you believed? Blessed are they who did not see, and yet believed."

Luk 24:50-53  [After being seen by over 500 believers, Jesus was ready to ascend into heaven] And He led them out as far as Bethany, and He lifted up His hands and blessed them.  (51)  While He was blessing them, He parted from them and was carried up into heaven.  [ Angels appeared and told them that THIS JESUS WILL RETURN IN LIKE MANNER] (52)  And they returned to Jerusalem with great joy,  (53)  and were continually in the temple praising God.

SUMMARY

On this day of Resurrection, let us now show great reverence to our KING by participating in the LORD'S SUPPER, after which our Easter Service will conclude.

LORD'S SUPPER-HOLY COMMUNION

CLOSING PRAYER

O' Father God, although we sojourn through dangerous times where Christians are killed because of their beliefs, and the clouds of violence and war hoovers over the planet, the resurrection of our Lord shines as a brilliant star of hope and a reflection of the promise made for us to witness the coming of the New Jerusalem, when Your will so allows. Thank-You Father for the sacrifice of Your only begotten Son, JESUS THE CHRIST, AMEN

WEEKLY WORSHIP FOR APRIL 12/13, 2025 - JESUS PREDICTS DEATH/ PASSOVER

 

SABBATH & SUNDAY WORSHIP MESSAGE

APRIL 12/13, 2025

{LX 588-16}

DECLARATION

So he is to lift up from it his handful of the fine flour of the grain offering, with some of its oil and all the frankincense which is on the grain offering, and burn it up as smoke on the altar for a soothing aroma, as its memorial portion to ADONAI. Then what is left from it Aaron and his sons are to eat it. It is to be eaten as matzah in a holy place , in the courtyard of the Tent of Meeting. {Lev 6:8-9 TLV}

PASSOVER BEGINS

Sunday Message

"JESUS PREDICTS HIS DEATH"

Mark 8:31-33

And [Jesus] began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things,and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again. { Mar 8:31 NKJV}

OPENING PRAYER

Almighty God, Creator of all things, how humbling it is to know with certainty that the exact number of beats of our hearts, and lifetime number of breaths that we take over the entirety of our sojourn on this earth, are directly ordained by Your mighty will. Every beat, every breath. Hear our prayer of thanksgiving for gathering us together in fellowship and worship on this Holy Day. We are Yours, Lord Jesus, now and forever, Amen and AMEN.

MESSAGE

Jesus shares with His Father the fullness of deity. Whether a blessing or a curse, our Lord, in the flesh, has full knowledge of the beginning from the end, that is to say, Jesus is acutely aware what lies in store over the next seven days including that which follows.

 

Over the past three years, Jesus has taught and equipped His chosen, opening their eyes, showing by example that which the Father has ordained. The lessons include a very difficult realization that in order to live, one must die. A hard concept, indeed!

 

In three of the synoptic Gospels of Christ, The Lord tells His flock the reality of what will soon take place; In {Mat 16:21-23 NKJV} ...Jesus began to show His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and raised on the third day. In Mark 8:31 we read an almost exact duplicate of the warning, the prediction, of what was to come.

 

In the Gospel according to Luke; Following a number of significant healings and on the heels the Transfiguration on the Mount, the disciples were in awe at the majesty of God. But while everyone marveled at all the things that Jesus did, He said to His disciples, "Let these words sink down into your ears, for the Son of Man is about to be betrayed into the hands of men." {Luk 9:44-45 NKJV} The full understanding of the words of Jesus were absent, perhaps veiled by GOD in this moment of time.

 

Just as the seed falls from the tree in the death of the season, so that same seed when so embraced by the earth, will sprout and grow and in due time be raised up as a mighty tree; limbs raised upward toward the heavens. One day, when the Lord so wills, we too will die once only to be raised to eternal life in the presence of He who made us.

SUMMARY

Palm Sunday. The first day of the week. As we fellowship here and now in the year 2025, let us embrace that today is the first full day of Passover. In the time of Jesus the events in which we now participate would for Jesus shift in chronology by almost exactly 7 days from AD 33 to today's 2025. Today is Palm Sunday, next week for us is dark and painful as we witness the passion of the Christ, His death on the cross, and burial in a tomb. What makes today's SUNDAY stand out is remembering the formal public entry of Jesus into Jerusalem arriving as Messiah, as the SON OF THE LIVING GOD.

{In our bibles we go to John 12:12-19};

The next day a great multitude that had come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, {The people} took branches of palm trees and went out to meet Him, and cried out: "Hosanna! 'Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!' The King of Israel!"

Then Jesus, when He had found a young donkey, sat on it; as it is written: "Fear not, daughter of Zion; Behold, your King is coming, Sitting on a donkey's colt."

His disciples did not understand these things at first; but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written about Him and that they had done these things to Him.

Therefore the people, who were with Him when He called Lazarus out of his tomb and raised him from the dead, bore witness. For this reason the people also met Him, because they heard that He had done this sign. The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, "You see that you are accomplishing nothing. Look, the world has gone after Him!"

 

Jesus rides on a donkey. The symbology represents life sustaining peace and absence of war.  Had Jesus rode in on a horse, as the majority of Jews expected, His arrival would signal war and death and destruction! As a result, They missed the King's arrival. To this day the Jew has not fully recovered from this error...but they will. Spend some time in Ezekiel, Chapter 37. Read about the "Dry Bones Miracle"

Jesus, our Lord, has always led by example. O' The elegance of His being, the power of His majesty and the righteousness of His Word; He became the propitiation for us, trading His life and shedding His blood to save all those who have confessed His name. No longer are we under the penalty of eternal death. Through our Savior, we will reign with Him forever. Though we die once, we now are born again, living forever.

CLOSING PRAYER

O' Father God, although we sojourn through dangerous times where Christians are killed because of their beliefs, and the clouds of violence and war hoovers over the planet, the resurrection of our Lord shines as a brilliant star of hope and a reflection of the promise made to witness the coming of the New Jerusalem, when Your will so allows.

WEEKLY WORSHIP FOR APRIL 5/6, 2025 "SEEK FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD"

 

SABBATH & SUNDAY WORSHIP MESSAGE

APRIL 5/6, 2025

{LX 587-15}

DECLARATION

For [we are not] ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith. { Rom 1:16-17 KJV}

Sunday Message

"SEEK FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD"

	Mat 6:33    

But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.{ Mat 6:33 NKJV}

OPENING PRAYER

Awesome Creator and Father, we are granted by Your will and Grace the privilege of sojourning on this earth for a very short period of time. Through the 70, 80, or 90 plus years allotted, remove the scales on our eyes so as to see clearly the words YOU wrote on our hearts long before we were created. Grant us an addiction to place You and the Kingdom First and foremost in all our routines. We pray in the name of Jesus the Christ, AMEN

MESSAGE

We learn, --sometimes subliminally,-- how things are properly ordered, that is to say, this piece comes first, and that next section is inserted, and the other thing is attached last. Auto mechanics, aircraft pilots, doctors, lawyers, even tax collectors all have a routine and a special order of function that they all use to accomplish the task at hand. To mix up some of these tried and tested check list orders can really impede progress or even result in injury and death!

 

The manner, order, and priorities in the conduct of our lives was, and is, and will always be directed and commanded by Almighty God. Imagine our Lord and Creator as the Master Conductor of our eternal celestial orchestra. As he moves the baton, we quickly examine the Holy Scripts that lie open on our fleshly music stands. We apply the notes with exactness following the movement of His mighty will.

 

The music ---as it flows through the whole church ---causes the ground to rumble with the low frequencies, and birds to take flight when hearing the highs.

In the harmony of a billion perfectly pitched notes, a single sour, misplaced, or out of tune instrument or player can ruin the whole performance. The whole of the order, from tune-up to the final bow is vital to the whole kingdom. Always seek the Kingdom first!

 

Do not be anxious then, saying, 'what shall we eat? or what shall we drink? or with what shall we clothe ourselves? For all these things the Gentiles eagerly seek; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore do not be anxious for tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. {Mat 6: 31-34 NASB}

SUMMARY

It is by divine design that all of our fleshly en devours and trails we follow leads back to one common power that surpasses all others and is so very under utilized. The power of prayer is the very act that initiates communication with the Supreme Creator of the Universe. It is through prayer that we seek and we find His Kingdom, and become immediate witness to His righteousness, His glory.

 

We have been taught from Sunday School that prayer always comes before any important undertaking. Even before meals. We should pray upon rising in the morning, with a continuing monologue with Jesus and a concluding prayer of thanksgiving at the hour of sleep. The more you communicate with the Lord, the more He fills you with HIM. To be filled to the brim with the living Holy Spirit is the goal we all should be pursuing.

 

Prayer combined with Holy Scripture forms this unbreakable bond, through Jesus the Christ, that paves the way to the Kingdom; Then [Jesus] lifted up His eyes toward His disciples, and said: "Blessed are you poor, for yours is the Kingdom of God." {Luk 6:20 NKJV}

 

Seek the Kingdom FIRST, and FIRST in Prayer; Jesus said in John 3:3, NKJV: "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God."

In our daily lives, pursuing our routine and not so routine activities, let us all be ever so committed to pray FIRST and seek the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these other things will be added to you.

Our routines become habits. Habits do not form quickly, and don't go away without great effort. Retrain yourself and develop a habit to ALWAYS SEEK THE KINGDOM FIRST, today, tomorrow and forever!

 

CLOSING PRAYER

O' Holy Spirit that resides in us, guide us, we pray, to be consistent and with Holy purpose to habitually seek Your favor in all that we do. From the moment we stir from our slumber in the mornings to the closing prayers at bed time, lead us, O Lord, grant us the words that only our souls can utter, and cause us to be addicted to this Holy routine each and every day. In the name of Jesus the Christ, AMEN.

THE CALL

If you have never invited Jesus to be your Lord and savior, or, if you have in the past yet remain unsure of salvation and forgiveness of sin, Please pray with me now: Lord Jesus I need to fill a hole in my life that follows me where ever I go. I am a long-time Sinner and I CONFESS and REPENT of all my sins. I believe that You JESUS are the Lord, that you were hung on a cross and died. I believe that you were raised back to life by God, Your Father, ascended into heaven and presently sit at the right hand of The Almighty. Please come into me, clean me, take me and make me Yours and let me serve from this day forward and forever, Thank-You Jesus, AMEN

If you sincerely prayed with me, your salvation has been assured. {Rom 10:9 KJV} -That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

Waste no time in finding like minded folks, to fellowship with, who also know the lord Jesus. Be introduced to a church that preaches the BIBLE. Email me.
