A Seat at the Table: Communion
Ever been hungry? Really hungry? So hungry that a simple piece of bread and a glass of water satisfies? Bread and water, bread and wine are used as symbols of Jesus’ body and blood. Used to remind us of His sacrifice on our behalf. In John 6, Jesus invites His followers to eat His body and drink His blood. Lord’s supper. Are you hungry for a fresh experience with Jesus? Join us for the Lord’s Supper and be refreshed. You…
The Sanctuary – Part 1
In the sanctuary service, God met His people were they were. In a world hopelessly marred by sin and after spending over 400 years in physical slavery to Egypt, the Lord redeemed His people and in the sanctuary service He enlarged their understanding of salvation. Fully a third of Exodus is devoted to the organization and construction of the Israelite sanctuary. But the national religion is not to be regarded as an entirely new and different system. It was an…
Davidic Covenant
The covenant promise to David was a new focal point of the Mosaic covenant. From first to last it was a messianic promise and prophecy. When the apostles and other disciples came to understand the Messiah’s mission and Jesus’ fulfillment of that mission, their lives were changed. Ours will be too when our eyes are lifted from today’s world to the Messiah and the kingdom of heaven. Scripture: Isaiah 42:6; Luke 24:18-21, 27, 31-32; 2 Samuel 7:1–17; Deuteronomy 17:14–20; 1…
God’s Gift
As Christ was about to complete or fulfill the old covenant, He established a New Covenant which we call the Lord’s Supper. This GIFT reminds us that he redeemed us by His blood and set us free to live in Him. We do not have to carry our load of sin. We can leave it as the cross because of Jesus. Scripture: Matthew 26:27-30, John 6:35,51, 1 Corinthians 11:24-26, Romans 6:23 “God’s Gift” preached by Pastor Don Bryan on May…
Has Anything Been Done Like This Great Thing?
We’ve been following the covenant promises of God from their inception in Genesis 3:15 through the Abrahamic covenant of Genesis 12:1-3. Many Christians today believe that the Abrahamic covenant was a covenant of grace while the Sinaitic covenant is a covenant of law. Is that understanding correct? Did God change His mind after Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and make a covenant that moved from promise to works? Or was obedience to God a call to a much more intimate life…
If My People Pray: Part 2
Personal and corporate revitalization requires nothing less than the creative power of God. As the Paralytic of Luke chapter 5 discovered, Christ’s healing included both the soul and the body. Spiritual healing was followed by physical restoration. The is true for us today. Join us in our journey of discovery this Sabbath. Scripture: 2 Chronicles 7:14; 2 Chronicles 12:5-7; 2 Chronicles 33:10-13; 1 Peter 5:6-7; Numbers 6:23-27; Matthew 6:33; Luke 5:17-26 “If My People Pray: Pt 2” preached by Pastor…
The Covenant – Father Abraham
This is 3rd in the series on the Covenant. In this session, we will see how the covenant, the plan of salvation, moves forward through a man named Abraham. The covenant gets additional clarification as Abraham is promised a land, a seed, a blessing and to be a blessing to all nations. Abraham is put to a test in order to see if he indeed has secured the faith necessary to move forward. Those who have faith in Jesus’s sacrifice…
The Covenant Beginnings
The notion of a covenant is unfamiliar to many today. But, the practice of a covenantal life was an integral part of the ancient cultures in the Near East. Tens of thousands of documents unearthed in the last decades show a wide range of legal agreements between individuals and between nations. Already in the eighteenth-century B.C., such international covenants attached religious sanctions that involved the slaughter and cutting up of sacrificial beasts for the making of a covenants. The contracting…
