Church notes - 30th April 2023

30th John 18:26 - 29

1 John 5:1 - 5

'To believe in Christ is to believe in His deity, in the power of His death to cleanse us from all sin and to avert the righteous wrath of a Holy Lord. It means that we believe that the love of God is expressed in the fullest measure by the Cross of Christ and that eternal life is experienced only by a faith union with Him, which is the product of His grace, appropriated by faith' Evan Forman

vs 1 -3 Faith is expressed in love. Love - For example -- Choosing not to bear false witness.

Obedience - Evidence of love Psalm 108:8

Jonah disobeyed God, but the wind and waves and the fish didn't.

Commmands being implemented in a legalistic way is burdensome and crushing.

Matthew 11:28 - 30

Victory Overthrowing the world.

vs 4, 5

Jesus at the Cross - Victory over sin, the Devil and the world. We need to stand in that place.

We need to live out the victory.

Galatians 2:20

Jesus has achieved the victory for us. In Christ we are victorius.

Intersection of ‘being’ and ‘doing’

“Grace shows up in all of us asking the hard questions to break new ground. Grace is generous and, when we lean into it, we can’t help but extend it to others.”[1] Benbow goes on to explore what it looks like to see through the lens of grace to recognise the brokenness of others and self. Session, quoting Stacy, a stripper, “This is the first time I’ve ever felt seen.”[2] in a sermon from 2020…

God’s Love Can’t Be Earned

17 But if, in our endeavor to be justified in Christ, we too were found to be sinners, is Christ then a servant of sin? Certainly not! 18 For if I rebuild what I tore down, I prove myself to be a transgressor. 19 For through the law I died to the law, so that I might live to God. 20 I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live…

The Morning Devotional: WCF 19.6 (Part One)

The Morning Devotional for June 28, 2023 The Westminster Confession of Faith 19.6 (Part One) VI. Although true believers be not under the law as a covenant of works, to be thereby justified or condemned;a yet is it of great use to them, as well as to others; in that, as a rule of life, informing them of the will of God and their duty, it directs and binds them to walk accordingly;b discovering…

Keep the Main Thing the Main Thing (Galatians 2:1-10)

"Not how long, but how well you have lived is the main thing." Seneca

Fourteen years after that first visit, Barnabas and I went up to Jerusalem and took Titus with us. I went to clarify with them what had been revealed to me. At that time I placed before them exactly what I was preaching to the non-Jews. I did this in private with the leaders, those held in esteem by the church, so that our concern would not become a controversial public issue, marred by ethnic…

So I know that for months, since the promo images started releasing, we all have been comparing Pedro Pascal as Marcus Acacius in Gladiator II to the sculpture The Dying Gaul (or The Dying Gladiator).

I think the first post I saw pointing this out was this one from @quicksilvermad, though I know there have been others.

The resemblance is uncanny. BUT. The header of the Gladiator II article from Entertainment Weekly that released today features Paul Mescal in this pose...

It. Is. Identical.

The platform, the sword, everything about Paul's pose - all of it is exactly the same as The Dying Gaul.

Is this more than just a really cool, really apt artistic reference on the part of the photoshoot directors? Is this telling us something about the outcome of the film? Do I need to be worried about Lucius making it out alive the same way I am worried about Acacius?

WHAT DOES IT MEAN?????

Galatians 6:2 (NIV) - Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.

[walkswithmyfather]

Romans 8:10 (NLT). “And Christ lives within you, so even though your body will die because of sin, the Spirit gives you life because you have been made right with God.”

Galatians 2:20 (NLT). “My old self has been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. So I live in this earthly body by trusting in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.”

John 14:15-17 (NASB2020). “If you love Me, you will keep My commandments. The Holy Spirit I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, so that He may be with you forever; the Helper is the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it does not see Him or know Him; but you know Him because He remains with you and will be in you.”

Ephesians 3:16-19 (NLT). “I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God’s love and keep you strong. And may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God.”

There is much more about God in you on the Blog (link below). Amen! 🙏🕊️🙌

I think it's so funny when Christian flat out reject the concept of being intersex like oh so me and about 2% of the population aren't real but you expect me to believe homeboy's gonna come back after (holy) ghosting us for over 2000 years?

By Faith Alone

11 But when Cephas came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he stood condemned. 12 For before certain men came from James, he was eating with the Gentiles; but when they came he drew back and separated himself, fearing the circumcision party. 13 And the rest of the Jews acted hypocritically along with him, so that even Barnabas was led astray by their hypocrisy. 14 But when I saw that…

"THAT CONTAINER IS LYING ABOUT ITS CONTENTS"

Matthew 7:15, “Be on your guard against false prophets; they come to you LOOKING LIKE SHEEP on the OUTSIDE, but on the INSIDE they are really like wild WOLVES.” (GNT) My two favorite seasons are Winter and Fall! Winter, because I love Christmas, snow, carols, decorations and the like. And Fall, because I love the colors, Thanksgiving, the start of the scent of fireplaces, but most of all,…

Feminists, I want to express how I feel when I see all of you (as someone who once held feminist views and disliked men a decade ago, but now that I have gained understanding): Enough with the sabotage!

Be the duty of a woman. -> Genesis 2:18

-> Galatians 3:28 -> 1 Timothy 2:9-15 -> 1 Corinthians 11:3 -> Titus 2:3-5 -> 1 Timothy 2:11-12 -> Ephesians 5:22-24 -> Proverbs 31:11–12 -> Genesis 3:16
