Genesis #45 - Stolen Blessing (Part 1)
Big Idea: God does not bless His people because they are good. He blesses us because He is good. The blessing then becomes a catalyst for sanctification.
1. Isaac’s sin is that he rejects God’s plan and substitutes a worldly one. Genesis 27:1-4
a. “Old, eyes dim.” Isaac is aging and in failing health and he’s almost ready to die. He will now get his affairs in order but he does so badly.
b. “delicious game.” Isaac seeks final comfort from his rebellious firstborn son. God, however, sovereignly guides the outcome. Heb. 12:16-17
c. “That my soul may bless you before I die.” He intends to bestow his blessing - a formal oath of family favor - on Esau. This is in line with common expectation but a...

The Blessing
Просмотров 1214 дней назад
Big Idea: God blesses His people with security, grace, and peace. 1. The blessing of God grants Security. Number 6:22-24 a. “The LORD bless you” God’s blessing is about flourishing and things being as they ought to be. It is about the world set right. b. “and keep you.” The God who holds us in salvation keeps us without fail. John 10:28-29 2. The blessing of God grants Grace. Numbers 6:25 a. “T...

Life tends to weary us. But Christ’s coming into the world shows us the way to relief in rejoicing.
Genesis #44 - Pursuing Peace in a Hostile World
Просмотров 928 дней назад
Big Idea: It is difficult to live in peace when the world is hostile. However, God makes it possible by sustaining us with His blessing. 1. Isaac demonstrates being peaceful in a quarreling world. Genesis 26:17-22 a. “Departed, encamped in the valley of Gerar, settled there.” Isaac is driven out of the city and is thrust into a wild desert valley. He complies without fighting, favoring peace. b...
Genesis #43 - Famine, Faith, & Faltering
Просмотров 3Месяц назад
Big Idea: Faith in God is the heartbeat of the Christian life. But sometimes the faithful falter in the face of difficulty. Yet God is gracious and will not abandon His purpose because of our failure. 1. Isaac trusts God in the famine. Genesis 26:1-5 a. “A famine in the land… they went down to Gerar.” Famine is one of the most serious disasters that can befall an agricultural culture. Gerar (Ph...
Changes That Heal #12 - Becoming an Adult (Part 3)
Просмотров 5Месяц назад
Learning to become an adult is not an easy task. Perhaps becoming an adult while you’re already living in an adult body is even harder. But it is a necessary step to take to get out from under the authority of others.
Changes That Heal #11 - Becoming an Adult (Part 2)
Просмотров 9Месяц назад
Becoming an adult is not an easy task and not everyone accomplishes it. There are many signs that indicate a failure to become an adult has occurred as well as barriers in thinking that prevent this important step from happening.
Genesis #42 - God's Sovereignty & Election
Просмотров 11Месяц назад
Big Idea: The history of the continued family line of Abraham helps us to see the Sovereignty of God at work in His governing of people and events. 1. God’s sovereignty is displayed in His election of individuals and nations before they enter history. Genesis 25:19-23 a. “Isaac prayed to the LORD for his wife, because she was barren.” When you’re supposed to be part of producing the people of G...

Genesis #41 - Abraham & the Power of Legacy
Просмотров 52 месяца назад
Big Idea: A legacy is what we leave behind for following generations that makes their lives either easier or harder. 1. The power of a legacy is evident in its priorities. Genesis 25:1-6 a. “Abraham took another wife, Keturah who bore him…” A legacy requires a new generation. b. “He gave all he had to Isaac. But to the sons of his concubines he gave gifts.” A legacy requires showing generosity ...
Genesis #40 - Service & Character
Просмотров 12 месяца назад
Big Idea: Serving God is not always easy, nor are the conditions ideal, but what counts is character developed under God’s faithfulness. 1. In serving God, Character is put to the test. Genesis 24:29-49 a. “Laban ran out.” An important figure, especially later. His eagerness upon seeing the gifts and wealth hints at his character. b. Recounting the events so far first reminds us of how God has ...

Genesis #39 - Finding Rebekah
Просмотров 92 месяца назад
Big Idea: God displays His faithfulness to fulfilling His promise by guiding a servant of Abraham to procure a wife for Isaac. 1. Abraham takes finding a wife for his son so seriously, he binds his servant with an oath. Genesis 24:1-9 a. “Put your hand under my thigh.” The region of procreation is symbolic of the mission: to acquire a wife and ensure the continued family of Abraham. Oaths were ...
Changes That Heal #7 - Boundaries (Part 3)

Creating healthy boundaries to help us care for what is ours to deal with requires us to overcome barriers, learn skills, and understand why boundaries are important and what makes them work.
Genesis #38 - Sarah's Death & Burial
Просмотров 42 месяца назад
Big Idea: The death of Sarah not only concludes a major phase of God’s promise but also causes the beginning of the next phase: Abraham acquiring land. 1. Abraham acquires the first piece of the Promised Land to bury Sarah. Genesis 23:1-9 a. “I am a sojourner and foreigner. Give me property for a burying place.” As of yet, Abraham is without land. Burial land was considered sacred. It’s now tim...

    At All Costs: We must maintain a close relationship with God the Father and His Son Jesus Christ. It was God who sent Jesus into the world; this is how we have come to know Jesus. In turn, Jesus told us about God and His power and spirit; this is how we have come to know the Father. There is no such thing as one without the other, for they are one in agreement in spirit and truth. The Spirit belongs to God the Father alone, for all live unto Him (Luke 20:38). We must love, honor, and obey Jesus in all that we do for all eternity. We are to love God the Father with all our hearts, mind, and soul and serve Him only (Luke 4:8). In truth, it is not possible to preach one without the other, for by them both we must know them both.

    Mothers Day is actually a story about the 144,000......First Fruits(plural) with Real Original Bodies transported or were taken alive with original bodies to the Paradise of God, were actually the 144,000 and they were all children...Why Children ?..because one of the identifying marker is: Not defiled by women and it means Children and children are Pure in Hearts and only children has this attributes..Those who get married(Adults) are always defiled by women in real sense and Children are not adults.. Children who became orphans or left by the Mother who went into Hiding from the face of the Serpent((Rev 12:14), as in Jesus left humanity 2000 years ago and we became Orphans. The Book of Revelation is a story about a Mother/Woman and the 7 Churches of Asia..The Book of Revelation was written by John together with Mary , John adopted Mary as his mother, instructed by Jesus while hanging on the cross(John 29:25-29)..The Book of Revelation is about the 7 Churches of Asia & Mary of Magdala(as in Maguindanao, Magus, Magi & Marianas trench) (Mathew 26:13, Mathew 12:42, Rev 12:14)..The island of Patmos with P as in Pateo & Promise ..The Land of so many Promises & Romances since Creation is Maguindanao.

I had it since birth (1996) and now im 22 (2018). Two decades of bearing this is far more than i can take any longer. It affected me from Head to Toe, not one spot is spared.

I desperately need and want to be healed NOW. Stand with me. Support and encourage me. Email me at jonathantan96@gmail.com. Thanks and God Bless.
