Today’s Feast
May 7, 2014 – Jeremiah 1
The Call of Jeremiah
Gods Not Dead!
Please join us sharing God’s Word daily. We will spend about
fifteen minutes a day praying and reading every word in God’s Word in
approximately three years.
“14 I
press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in
Christ Jesus.” Philippians 3:14
Jeremiah
Overview; “Jeremiah was a
priest, a native of Anathoth, in the tribe of Benjamin. He was called to the prophetic
office when very young, about seventy years after the death of Isaiah, and
exercised it for about forty years with great faithfulness, till the sins of
the Jewish nation came to their full measure and destruction followed. The
prophecies of Jeremiah do not stand as they were delivered... The general
subject of his prophecies is the idolatry and other sins of the Jews; the
judgments by which they were threatened, with references to their future
restoration and deliverance, and promises of the Messiah. They are remarkable
for plain and faithful reproofs, affectionate expostulations, and awful
warnings.” - Matthew Henry Concise
Jeremiah Chapter 1, “Jeremiah's call to the prophetic office. (1-10) A vision of
an almond-tree and of a seething-pot, Divine protection is promised. (11-19)” - Matthew Henry Concise
Dear Saints,
Today
we prayerfully continue our Feast reading the book of Jeremiah Chapter 1. God calls Jeremiah to be a prophet (see Jeremiah
1:1-10) to the Jews as wells as the neighboring nations.
God shows Jeremiah the destruction of
Judah and Jerusalem for they sinned by (see Jeremiah 1:11-19) denying God’s glory. God avows His judgment, for they forsook the
Lord. “18 And I, behold, I make you this
day a fortified city, an iron pillar, and bronze walls, against the
whole land, against the kings of Judah, its officials, its priests, and the
people of the land. 19 They will fight against you, but
they shall not prevail against you, for I am with you, declares
the Lord, to deliver you.”“ Jeremiah 1:18-19 English
Standard Versions (ESV). God has plans for everyone who repents and
(see 1 John
1:9) asks
forgiveness in the name of Jesus. “16 Rejoice always, 17
pray without ceasing, 18 give thanks in all circumstances; for
this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 ESV. No matter how God uses you or what Jesus provides (see
Philippians 4:11-13); stay faithful because the Lord strengthens you.

Paul's Plea for Onesimus
|
Today’s
Feast
May 6,
2014 – Philemon 1
Paul's
Plea for Onesimus
Gods Not
Dead! Please join us sharing God’s Word
daily. We will spend about fifteen minutes a day praying and reading every word
in God’s Word in approximately three years.
Philemon Overview; “Philemon was an inhabitant of Colosse, a person
of some note and wealth, and a convert under the ministry of St. Paul. Onesimus
was the slave of Philemon: having run away from his master, he went to Rome,
where he was converted to the Christian faith, by the word as set forth by Paul,
who kept him till his conduct proved the truth and sincerity of his conversion.
He wished to repair the injury he had done to his master, but fearing the
punishment his offence deserved might be inflicted, he entreated the apostle to
write to Philemon. And St. Paul seems no where to reason more beautifully, or to
entreat more forcibly, than in this epistle.” - Matthew Henry
Concise
Philemon Chapter 1, “The apostle's joy and praise for
Philemon's steady faith in the Lord Jesus, and love to all the saints. (1-7) He recommends Onesimus
as one who would make rich amends for the misconduct of which he had been
guilty; and on behalf of whom the apostle promises to make up any loss Philemon
had sustained. (8-22) Salutations and a
blessing. (23-25)”
- Matthew Henry
Concise
Dear
Saints,
Today we prayerfully continue our Feast reading the book
of Philemon Chapter 1. Paul greets
Philemon and appeals to the love (see Philemon
1:1-7) he shares as a brother in Christ. He pleads (rather
than demands) for Philemon to accept his runaway slave Onesimus back as a
brother (see Philemon
1:8-14) and fellow believer in Jesus. He doesn’t try to make light of the sins
committed by Onesimus, he points out that as a brother
(see
Philemon
1:15-22) in Jesus he will be a more useful
servant.
Paul ends this letter with these final words;
“23 Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, sends
greetings to you, 24 and so do
Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke, my fellow
workers.
25 The
grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your
spirit.“ Philemon
1:23-25 English Standard Versions (ESV). This letter makes me think about all the wrongs people
commit and (see Luke
7:47-50) the power of forgiveness in the
name of Jesus. “16
Therefore,
confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be
healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is
working.”
James 5:16 ESV. We should pray that our sins will
be forgiven (see Luke 6:37) and at the same time forgive all sins that have been
done against us.

Teach Sound Doctrine
|
Today’s
Feast
May 5,
2014 – Titus 2-3
Teach
Sound Doctrine
Gods Not
Dead! Please join us sharing God’s Word
daily. We will spend about fifteen minutes a day praying and reading every word
in God’s Word in approximately three years.
“1 Remind
them to be submissive to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for
every good work,” Titus
3:1
Titus Chapter 2,
“The duties which become sound doctrine. (1-8) Believing servants must be obedient. (9,10) All is enforced from
the holy design of the gospel, which concerns all believers. (11-15)” -
Matthew Henry Concise
Titus
Chapter 3,
“Obedience to magistrates, and becoming behaviour towards all, are
enforced from what believers were before conversion, and what they are made,
through Christ. (1-7) Good works to be done,
and useless disputes avoided. (8-11) Directions and
exhortations. (12-15) ” -
Matthew Henry Concise
Dear
Saints,
Today we prayerfully continue our Feast reading the book
of Titus
Chapter 2. & Chapter 3 Paul
Encourages Titus to stick with (see
Titus
2:1-8) sound doctrine and to remain obedient and faithful
(see
Titus
1:9-10) to those they (see Luke
16:12) serve. Paul declares that grace and salvation is God’s
gift (See
Titus
1:11-15) to all men who love Jesus and are
called according to his purpose; “13
Waiting
for our blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior
Jesus Christ, 14 who
gave himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for himself
a people for his own possession who are zealous for good works. 15 Declare
these things; exhort and rebuke with all authority. Let no one disregard
you.“ Titus
2:13-15 English Standard Versions (ESV). He reminded them to be obedient doing every good
work
(see Titus
3:1-7) in the name of Jesus. To avoid foolish
controversy, quarrels and disagreements, (see
Titus 3:8-11)
moving on after they continue to reject the Word. Paul finishes the letter with
expressions of the love, favor and grace of God; “14
And let our people learn to devote themselves to good works, so as to help cases
of urgent need, and not be unfruitful. 15
All who are with me send greetings to you. Greet those who love us in the
faith.
Grace be with you all.”
Never worry about what to say or do in God’s service, study God’s Word
(see John
14:26) the Holy Spirit will
bring Jesus’ words to you as needed. “6
do
not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with
thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 7
And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard
your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
Philippians 4:6-7 ESV. Pray that God’s will be done in
your life (see Matthew
6:9-13) &
( Matthew
6:5) that you do everything is in God’s
will.
