MONDAY BIBLE STUDY

There's no mincing of words in the word of God. And it tells us, "thy way, oh God, is in the sanctuary," so it's telling us there's a pattern of his way that we can learn and know from the sanctuary.  At Mount Sinai, Moses was instructed by God to build the tabernacle. And every detail needed to be followed precisely according to the pattern that God showed Moses because this pattern was a shadowy form of something greater that God wanted to teach us.

I felt the Lord invite us to consider the patriarchs and really how Jesus is connected to the patriarchs of the faith. After Jesus was resurrected, he met some disciples walking along the road and he said, " everything written about me in the law of Moses and the prophets and the psalms must be fulfilled and then he opened their minds to understand the scriptures."  What does it mean that He says "everything written about me in the law of Moses?" This is the first five books of the Bible, the Torah. He's not explicitly mentioned there, is he? Not directly, but he is between the lines, he is the word, and he is revealed in the Law of Moses. And we're going to be looking at , the Gospel according to Genesis.

How is it that we can't seem to model the reality of God the way the saints of old did?

" I find that I must write about something else, urging you to defend the faith. that God has entrusted once for all time, to his holy people. I say this because some ungodly people have wormed their way into your churches saying that God's marvelous grace allows us to live immoral lives." He's saying, listen, there are some people that have come into the body of Christ and they're defiling the church. They're teaching another Jesus Christ. They're teaching the hyper-grace that we have experienced in our society for so long, people have abused the grace of God and continued in their sinful ways. The Bible says that we are to be careful becasue these people are among the people of God, causing many to fall away.

John gives certain tests for how we can discover if we or other professing believers are true Christians. How do you know when you've really got true faith? He tells us about four tests that we can find in scripture.

In November 2024, a church was forced to tear down their church structure and move because the landowner evicted them. God had better plans. After much prayer within a short time, the church was relocated in December 2024 to a new piece of property that they're leasing. However, they had no building. They were able to sell the scrap metal from the prior building to erect a steel frame and they had their first worship service under a tree. The following week God had provided the funding for the entire structure to be enclosed with new sheet metal. Is anything too hard for our God? No. Testimonies have been received that people in the surrounding village observing the new church being constructed are amazed at what the Lord is doing there. ""Praise him for his mighty works; praise his unequaled greatness!" Psalm 150:2

"So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it." Isaiah 55:11.
