Today’s
Feast
May 8,
2014 – Jeremiah 2
Israel
Forsakes the Lord
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.
“4 But I have this against
you, that you have abandoned the love you had at first.” Revelation
2:4
Jeremiah
Chapter
2,
“God expostulates with his
people. (1-8) Their revolt
beyond example. (9-13) Guilt the cause of sufferings. (14-19) The sins of Judah. (20-28) Their false confidence. (29-37)” - Matthew Henry
Concise
Dear
Saints,
Today we prayerfully continue our
Feast reading the book of Jeremiah Chapter 2.
The Prophet Jeremiah witnessed that God’s chosen people that had loved
God in the beginning (see
Jeremiah
2:1-8) now have turned to condone and follow after other god’s that
are not. God is calling his people back because they
have turned to follow foreign gods (see Jeremiah
2:9-13), even though they are not God. The deeds of God’s people have brought bitter
doom (see Jeremiah
2:14-19) upon themselves by rejecting God’s love. These people are living in bitterness and
shame (see Jer
2:20-28) because they traded God’s law for the laws that are
worldly. My chosen people have turned
against me to their own destruction (see Jeremiah 2:29-37) by denying God’s glory. “36 How much you go about, changing your way! You shall
be put to shame by Egypt as you were put to shame by Assyria. 37 From it too
you will come away with your hands on your head, for the Lord has rejected those
in whom you trust, and you will not prosper by them.“ Jeremiah
2:36-37 English Standard
Versions (ESV). Can a
nation that says “In God We Trust” survive (see Jeremiah
2:23) when it passes laws that support sin?
“Walk in wisdom toward outsiders, making
the best use of the time. Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with
salt, so that you may know how you ought to answer each
person.”
Colossians
4:5-6 ESV. We must ask ourselves if we support sin
(see James 1:13-18); what kind of message are we sending our children? As Christians we must
(see Matthew
22:37) love the Lord our God with all are hearts. If we don’t love the Lord our God with every
fiber of our being (see 2 Peter 2:21) we are turning away from Jesus. God loves us so much that he sent His only
begotten (see John
3:16) Son Jesus to pay for our
transgressions.
Can you hear Jesus calling
you? Do you want to be sure of your
future? Do you want to find true
happiness, peace and purpose in your life?

The Call of Jeremiah
|
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.
Is Jesus calling you? Want
to be sure? Do you want to find true
happiness, peace and purpose in your life?

another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great

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.

today? Do you want to know what Jesus
has planned for your life? Do you want
to find true happiness, peace and purpose in your life? If the answer is yes to any of these

Philippians 4:6-7 ESV.
