The Virtue of Marriage Part 2

There is a liberating power that is unleashed when we realize what we deserve as sinners and yet receive what only God’s grace could give: love, acceptance, favor, and blessing! Out of this encounter with God comes thankfulness. Henry Van Dyke put it this way, “Gratitude is the inward feeling of kindness received. Thankfulness is the natural impulse to express that feeling. Thanksgiving is the following of that impulse.” Join us in this series on the Art of Giving Thanks.

The original mandate that God gave to us was the institution that we call marriage. The biblical institution of marriage is under a curse and it has been that way since the crisis of sin in the Garden. Only in Messiah can we reverse the curse. Many believers have not understood how to do this and as a result they continue unnecessarily to experience painful setbacks in their marriages. Join us in discovering keys to reversing this curse and turning marriage into a realm of blessing.

The original mandate that God gave to us was the institution that we call marriage. It comes before the mandate of civil government. It comes before the mandate of the gospel and birthing faith communities. Without marriage everything in Eden would have spiraled out of control and back into chaos. Today marriage remains the pillar and foundation stone for healthy and vibrant families, civil society, and faith communities. If we tamper with or undermine this institution and everything else fall into disarray and chaos, bring shame and misery to all. People of God, it is time to reclaim and make great again, this glorious institution.

In the USA, we spend approximately 12 billion dollars a year on Halloween. It is a major holiday and a holy day, depending on one’s orientation. Secularists claim it is secular, pagan groups claim it is pagan, and most Christians say it is thoroughly Christian. In this teaching we will look at the claims and what the Scripture says about how we should relate to this controversial day. Thanks for joining us in the pursuit of the truth!

From the tabernacle to the temple, God has been dwelling in our midst! Later, He moved from the temple into a tabernacle of human flesh and blood to dwell even closer with us! And now, by His Spirit, He is moving inside of everyone who believes and embraces His Son as Savior and King. What does all of this mean? Today we will explore the revelation that we are a living tabernacle of God in our world!

The biblical festival of Sukkot (also known as the Festivals of Tabernacles) is the biblical, typological, and theological setting for the birth of the babe born in Bethlehem. The early church knew this and, though it was later displaced with the syncretized holiday of Christmas, this biblical holy week, known simply as Tabernacles, has much to teach us about the dwelling presence of God and the incarnation of the Messiah. The Eternal Son of God came and took up a human tabernacle of flesh and blood in order to dwell with us! His name is Immanuel, God with us, in human flesh and blood! Hark! the herald angels sing, "Glory to the newborn King"! Join us as we explore the biblical setting and symbols of the birth of Jesus – God with us!

Concerning the Day of Atonement, Moses said, “Atonement will be made for you on this day to cleanse you, and you will be clean from all your sins before the Lord” (Lev 16:30). For the believer, this is gospel – good news! For the one who rejects this gracious offer, it will be a terrifying day to say the least! As with all the Holydays there is a past initiation with Moses and a past inaugural fulfillment with the first advent of Yeshua to our world nearly 2000 years ago. Paul informs us that there is a future final consummate fulfillment of the Holydays when Yeshua returns to our world the second and final time. Join us we will look at the themes of the Day of the Shofar, the Ten Days of Awe, the Day of Atonement and the Day of Judgement in their final fulfillment when Yeshua returns.

Yom Teruah, also known as the Day of Blowing Shofars, has its inaugural fulfillment in the babe born in Bethlehem becoming King of kings and Lord of lords nearly 2000 years ago. That inaugural fulfillment will be consummated when our King returns to us and begins His earthly millennial reign from Jerusalem. This will also usher in the Day of Atonement which is prophetically ten days later. Join us as we look at the Fall Festivals and their future fulfillments!
