The Way Bible Study

On February 14th we will be starting a new study called ‘The Way’

One of the earliest names that the first Christians gave to their new found faith was ‘The Way’. It is found a number of times in the book of Acts in the Bible (e.g. Acts 9:2). The title suggests the first Christians viewed being a Christian, not as a religion you sign up to, or a prayer you pray, but as a way to follow – the way of salvation and a way of life. Jesus himself said that he is ‘the way’ to God the Father (John 14:6), and that ‘the way’ is narrow that leads to life (Matthew 7:14). Christianity is often a difficult, narrow way to live, but the blessings of knowing God, and His life to the full, are truly out of this world!

Serious Christianity – The Temple of God

The presence of the old testament Temple was vital to right standing before God because it was a visible demonstration of the grace of God, the government of God and the glory of God

 

The grace of God

In the Temple day of atonement the two identical goats were seen as part of the same sacrifice. One animal to make atonement to God and the other to carry away the sins of the nation. Christ’s once for all sacrifice did just that by making a “guilt offering” and a “sin offering” taking away our sins and making an atonement towards the offended holiness of God carrying his own blood into the presence of God as our great high priest. (Isaiah 53:10,11)

The temple format ensured that because all was done according to His word they had confidence before God as a people, but  how much greater confidence can we have when we realize that Gods Son has “once for all ” paid the price of sin

Hebrews 7:25 Therefore he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them.

26 Such a high priest truly meets our need—one who is holy, blameless, pure, set apart from sinners, exalted above the heavens. 27 Unlike the other high priests, he does not need to offer sacrifices day after day, first for his own sins, and then for the sins of the people. He sacrificed for their sins once for all when he offered himself.

 

As long as Jesus lives – that sacrifice remains before God

One mocker shouted to the man preaching on the street asking if Jesus could change his water into wine BUT the evangelist man replied that Jesus did better than that for him by changing wine into furniture.

As the Temples of the Holy Spirit, Serious Christians know the reality of the grace of God, and there is no greater testimony than what God has done in the life of a believer. People need to know the grace of God and the only way they will see it is in the temples of the holy spirit who follow Him steadfastly in life

We need to have an experience of the grace of God in the temple of our own lives, the presence of that eternal “Once for all” sacrifice in whom we are complete before God.

Feeding the multitudes

You may think you are small and insignificant in the church, but as the boy who brought the loaves and fishes fed 5000, if you bring what little you have then it will be multiplied.

 

John 6:9-13

New International Version (NIV)

9 “Here is a boy with five small barley loaves and two small fish, but how far will they go among so many?”

10 Jesus said, “Have the people sit down.” There was plenty of grass in that place, and they sat down (about five thousand men were there). 11 Jesus then took the loaves, gave thanks, and distributed to those who were seated as much as they wanted. He did the same with the fish.

12 When they had all had enough to eat, he said to his disciples, “Gather the pieces that are left over. Let nothing be wasted.” 13 So they gathered them and filled twelve baskets with the pieces of the five barley loaves left over by those who had eaten.
