  • THE PRIESTLY COVENANT – Session Five
    THE COVENANT: A Lenten Journey Curriculum THE PRIESTLY COVENANT – Session Five Leader’s Opening Remarks Our covenant journey has taken us to Eden, where a broken promise activates the genesis of redemption. Next, we went by boat with Noah, where God re-created the world as the stage upon which the story of God’s grace and redemption would play out. Then despite Abraham and Sarah’s shortcomings, God used them to secure the innumerable seed of blessing that God had in store for the world. Last week, we made a turn as we Laws, or standards that God would set to define how one should live in relationship with God and with others. 57 THE COVENANT: A Lenten Journey Curriculum Today, we will look again at Moses and this time, also his brother, Aaron, his nephew, Eleazar, and Eleazar’s son, Phinehas. This journey will reveal the importance of succession. The priestly covenant is a covenant of peace. But it starts out as anything but peaceful… Remember Moses’ reluctance to do what God had for him? He stuttered, and insisted that he wasn’t capable of doing all that God was calling him to do. So, God relented and gave Moses his brother, Aaron as an assurance that Moses had all that was needed to help free the Israelites from Pharaoh. A series of plagues and the death of Pharaoh’s son later, and Moses, Aaron, and all of the Israelites, crossed the Red Sea, and the enemy was defeated! But it still was not peaceful! 58 THE COVENANT: A Lenten Journey Curriculum The Israelites received the law, but the idolatry of Israel angered God and God denied the Israelites the peace that God had for them.

  • Day 6 Wednesday March 8 Masada Ein-Gedi Mount of Olives Palm
    Day 6 Wednesday March 8 2023 Masada Ein-Gedi Mount of Olives Palm Sunday Walk Tomb of Prophets Garden of Gethsemane Masada Suggested Reading: The Dove Keepers by Alice Hoffman // Josephus, War of the Jews (book 7) Masada is located on a steep and isolated hill on the edge of the Judean desert mountains, on the shores of the Dead Sea. It was the last and most important fortress of the great Jewish rebellion against Rome (66-73 AD), and one of the most impressive archaeological sites in Israel. The last stand of the Jewish freedom fighters ended in tragic events in its last days, which were thoroughly detailed in the accords of the Roman historian of that period, Josephus Flavius. Masada became one of the Jewish people's greatest icons, and a symbol of humanity's struggle for freedom from oppression. Israeli soldiers take an oath here: "Masada shall not fall again." Masada is located on a diamond-shaped flat plateau (600M x 200M, 80 Dunam or 8 Hectares). The hill is surrounded by deep gorges, at a height of roughly 440M above the Dead sea level. During the Roman siege it was surrounded with a 4KM long siege wall (Dyke), with 8 army camps (A thru G) around the hill. Calendar Event 1000BC David hides in the desert fortresses (Masada?) 2nd C BC Hasmonean King (Alexander Jannaeus?) fortifies the hill 31 BC Major earthquake damages the Hasmonean fortifications 24BC Herod the great builds the winter palace and fort 4BC Herod dies; Romans station a garrison at Masada 66AD Head of Sicarii zealots, Judah Galilee, is murdered Eleazar Ben-Yair flees to Masada, establishes and commands a community of zealots 67AD Sicarii sack Ein Gedi on Passover eve, filling up their storerooms with the booty 66-73AD Great Revolt of the Jews against the Romans 70AD Jerusalem is destroyed by Romans; last zealots assemble in Masada (total 1,000), commanded by Eleazar Ben-Yair 73AD Roman 10th Legion under Flavius Silvia, lay a siege; build 8 camps, siege wall & ramp 73AD After several months the Romans penetrate the walls with tower and battering ram.

  • 1 KINGS 15 Vs 1 KJV-Lite™ VERSES
    1 KINGS 15 vs 1 KJV-lite™ VERSES www.ilibros.net/KJV-lite.html The Bible is so interesting; even the Old Testament. Isn’t its historic record, so predictable as the 12 tribes, so highly blessed above all the nations of the earth; blessed with the presence of the Lord willing to lead. Yet in their despicable greed, they resented one another, instead of remembering they were family. Remember: when reading the 1st and 2nd Chronicles… we read history and events recorded from the perspective of the 2 tribes of the Southern Kingdom, the House of Judah; and when reading 1st and 2nd Kings… we read history and events recorded from the perspective of the 10 tribes of the Northern Kingdom, the house of Israel – led by Ephraim and Manasseh who carried with them all the nationalistic birthright promises given to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob – and to their descendants even in the 21st century. Abijam’s wicked reign over Judah, 1 Now in the eighteenth year of King Jeroboam the son of Nebat, Abijam reigned over Judah / it’s interesting how both the northern and southern kingdoms competed to be the most corrupt. 2 He reigned three years in Jerusalem; and the name of his mother was Maacah, the granddaughter of Absalom / obviously the guy was a loser, and the Lord said, you’re out of here! 3 And he walked in all the sins of his father, which he committed before him: and his heart was not wholly with the LORD his God, like the heart of his father David.

  • 1 Some Time Passed. David's Son Absalom Had a Beautiful Sister
    Excerpt from A Biblical Journey for Justice by Fulata Lusungu Moyo, WCC 2014 1 Some time passed. David’s son Absalom had a beautiful sister whose name was Tamar; and David’s son Amnon fell in love with her. 2 Amnon was so tormented that he made himself ill because of his sister Tamar, for she was a virgin and it seemed impossible to Amnon to do anything to her. 3 But Amnon had a friend whose name was Jonadab, the son of David’s brother Shimeah; and Jonadab was a very crafty man. 4 He said to him, “O son of the king, why are you so haggard morning after morning? Will you not tell me?” Amnon said to him, “I love Tamar, my brother Absalom’s sister.” 5 Jonadab said to him, “Lie down on your bed, and pretend to be ill; and when your father comes to see you, say to him, ‘Let my sister Tamar come and give me something to eat, and prepare the food in my sight, so that I may see it and eat it from her hand.’” 6 So Amnon lay down, and pretended to be ill; and when the king came to see him, Amnon said to the king, “Please let my sister Tamar come and make a couple of cakes in my sight, so that I may eat from her hand.” 7 Then David sent home to Tamar, saying, “Go to your brother Amnon’s house, and prepare food for him.” 8 So Tamar went to her brother Amnon’s house, where he was lying down.

  • Leviticus 10
    SERMON PASSAGE: Leviticus 10 REVIEW THE SERMON 1. Read the prep verses (Ecclesiastes 5: 1-2; 1 Peter 4:17) and the sermon’s Bible passage to recall the content. 2. Briefly review the sermon outline: a. Introduction i. “What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us…Worship is pure or base as the worshiper entertains high or low thoughts of God.” – AW Tozer ii. God’s glory is our highest priority (Leviticus 10:3). iii. His glory: sum of all His attributes, that He is infinitely great, strikingly beautiful, and absolutely perfect in all that He is and in all that He does. b. We demonstrate our reverence towards God and His glory being the highest priority by being submissive to His authority i. Obedience to God’s command ii. ““Many people are uncomfortable with the idea of God as Judge. Speak to them of God as a Father, a friend, a helper, one who loves us despite all our weakness and folly and sin, and their faces light up; you are on their wavelength at once.
