for 3 dager siden41:07

41:07

In this episode, we explore Deuteronomy 10:1–10 and the significance of the ark of the covenant and the Levitical priesthood. Why did God command Moses to carve new stone tablets? What was the deeper meaning behind placing them in the ark? We take a closer look at the divine statutes—the Ten Commandments written by God's own hand—and the designated servants—the tribe of Levi, set apart to carry the ark and minister before the Lord. You'll hear how the ark functioned not just as a container, but as a symbol of preservation, remembrance, and promise. We also draw out the rich parallels between the Old Testament priesthood and the calling of New Testament believers to serve as priests unto God. This episode challenges us to consider: Is God truly enough for us? Are we bearing, standing, and blessing in His name? Join us for a deep, practical study of how God’s law and His chosen servants reveal timeless truths for our lives today.…

The Hour Has Come – Christ’s Prayer for His Followers 44:18

for 17 dager siden44:18

44:18

In this episode, we explore the opening of John 17, often referred to as the High Priestly Prayer of Jesus. As His hour approaches—the hour of His death—Jesus lifts His eyes to heaven and prays, not only for His own glorification but for the blessing and preservation of His followers. We examine how scripture reveals the timing of Christ’s death as divinely appointed and untouchable until the Father declared the hour had come. Through passages from John, Hebrews, and other supporting texts, we look at what Jesus prayed for us just before His arrest—six profound desires that still echo for every believer today: Satisfaction in Christ – that His joy would be fulfilled in us. Safeguarding from Evil – that we would be kept from the evil of this world. Set Apart by the Word – sanctification through the truth of God’s Word. Singleness of Spirit – unity among believers that reflects the unity of the Godhead. Sight of Splendor – a longing for us to behold His glory. Saturation in the Father’s Love – that we would be filled with the same love the Father has for the Son. Tune in as we take a closer look at this powerful prayer, placing it in its historical and scriptural context, and draw out how these six blessings still shape our Christian life today.…
