Exodus 38. Making the altar for burning offerings

1 And he made the altar of burnt offering ofshittim wood: five cubitswas the length thereof, and five cubits the breadth thereof; it was foursquare; and three cubits the height thereof. 2 And he made the horns thereof on the four corners of it; the horns thereof were of the same: and he overlaid it with brass. 3 And he made all the vessels of the altar, the pots, and the shovels, and the basins, and the fleshhooks, and the firepans: all the vessels thereof made he of brass. 4 And he made for the altar a brazen grate of network under the compass thereof beneath unto the midst of it. 5 And he cast four rings for the four ends of the grate of brass, to be places for the staves. 6 And he…

Exodus 39. Making the Garments for the priests

1 And of the blue, and purple, and scarlet, they made cloths of service, to do service in the holy place, and made the holy garments for Aaron; as the LORD commanded Moses. 2 And he made the ephodof gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen. 3 And they did beat the gold into thin plates, and cut it into wires, to work it in the blue, and in the purple, and in the scarlet, and in the fine linen, with cunning work. 4 They made shoulderpieces for it, to couple it together: by the two edges was it coupled together. 5 And the curious girdle of his ephod, that was upon it, was of the same, according to the…

Insult (In –Salt) Sermon

TEXT: Proverbs 12:16

“A fool shows his annoyance at once, but a prudent man overlooks an insult”

USES OF SALT

For Seasoning

For Preservation

For healing of wounds

In the old testament for sacrifice – Lev 2:13

The Bible says in Matthew 5:13A

“You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men”

EXAMPLES IN THE BIBLE

• King Saul. 1 Samuel 1:6-7 (Let Your actions speak for you! Choose to ignore! God will raise Helpers for you!)

• Hannanh – 1 Samuel 1:6-7 (Let It Provoke You To Action)

• Our LORD Jesus Christ(Matthew 27:27-66; Mark 15:16-40; Luke 23; John 19: 1-41)

The 1^st human reaction to insults is to…

Betrayal and Forgiveness!

Spend any amount of time and have any kind of interaction with people, and you’ll experience something we’re all too familiar with: betrayal.

Everyone deals with it. We’ve either been betrayed or we will be betrayed. And we know the feeling it leaves in our lives and on our souls—a bitter feeling of resentment, anger and hurt.

But is it possible to overcome the devastating effects of betrayal and experience phenomenal outcomes?

The answer is a resounding, “Yes!” And it all comes down to forgiveness.

But we all know that one of the most difficult things to do is forgive someone who has hurt us. We want that person to pay for what they did. But here’s the thing. Your…

Be Filled With The Holy Spirit

“Do not get drunk with wine, for that is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody with your heart to the Lord“(Ephesians 5:18-19).

Jesus tells His disciples that the Holy Spirit “abides with you and will be in you”(John 14:17). But how do we engage this personal Helper? How does His power become real for us?

We are to become filled with the Spirit; another way to express this is to be full of Him. When a person drinks too much liquor, they become intoxicated. When a person is drunk, they are under the influence of the drink. The alcohol dictates the agenda. They don’t get drunk by looking at the liquor or talking about it. They drink it. The more they drink…

Isn’t it true that life can be crazy?

Isn’t it true that life can be crazy? Driving down the freeway can be crazy. Dealing with your family can be crazy. The people you run into at the office can be crazy. If you have kids, maybe they’re driving you a little crazy! There is no denying it…life is crazy.

Have you ever wondered, though, why that is? Why do we have this bent toward craziness in our world, in our relationships, and even in our own lives? It all comes down to a simple, yet potent reality:

Sanity left the world when sin entered the human equation.

In the face of all the craziness around you,

God has a powerful plan for your life.

So as you look around your world and think, “Am I the only one who hasn’t taken crazy pills?” remember that you can be…

How do we know the difference between the flesh and the Holy Spirit within us?

“I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh. For the flesh sets its desire against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are in opposition to one another, so that you may not do the things that you please”(Galatians 5:16-17).

The very Spirit of God has taken up residence in our lives if we have accepted Jesus Christ as our Savior. God wants to express His mind, His thoughts, His desires, and His will through our mortal bodies. But for us to see this happen, we need to be under the Holy Spirit’s control.

While this is taking place, we are going to experience conflict within ourselves. This is one way we can know we are Christians. If we…

Leviticus 6. Laws about the burnt offering, the grain offering, and the sin offering

1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 2 If a soul sin, and commit a trespass against the LORD, and lie unto his neighbour in that which was delivered him to keep, or in fellowship, or in a thing taken away by violence, or hath deceived his neighbour; 3 Or have found that which was lost, and lieth concerning it, and sweareth falsely; in any of all these that a man doeth, sinning therein: 4 Then it shall be, because he hath sinned, and is guilty, that he shall restore that which he took violently away, or the thing which he hath deceitfully gotten, or that which was delivered him to keep, or the lost thing which he found, 5 Or all that about which he hath sworn falsely; he shall…

1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 2 Take Aaron and his sons with him, and the garments, and the anointing oil, and a bullock for the sin offering, and two rams, and a basket of unleavened bread; 3 And gather thou all the congregation together unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. 4 And Moses did as the LORD commanded him; and the assembly was gathered together unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. 5 And Moses said unto the congregation, This is the thing which the LORD commanded to be done. 6 And Moses brought Aaron and his sons, and washed them with water. 7 And he put upon him the coat, and girded him with the girdle, and clothed him with the…

Isaiah 56. God’s people will include all nations. Salvation for the Gentiles (KJV)

3 Neither let the son of the stranger, that hath joined himself to the LORD, speak, saying, The LORD hath utterly separated me from his people: neither let the eunuch say, Behold, I am a dry tree. 4 For thus saith the LORD unto the eunuchs that keep my sabbaths, and choose the things that please me, and take hold of my covenant; 5 Even unto them will I give in mine house and within my walls…
