The church as "the temple of God" is called to be led by the Spirit, fed by God's Word, and offered up to God as a "living sacrifice" in daily service.
There are not many things as wondrous to receive, or difficult to give, as the gift of forgiveness. However, in Christ we are made clean, no longer condemned, at peace with God, and called to forgive.
Study leads to truth; worship helps embed truth in our hearts. Worship brings the realization that earth and heaven have nothing of value compared to God.

Not only do we identify with Christ, but Christ identifies with us. We are the body of Christ as He has chosen to make Himself known through the church.

He Takes Away The First To Establish The Second! What Is The Deeper Meaning Of The Cloud That Received Jesus? One Heart And One Way Forever! A Storm That We Could Consider Circumstantial! No Stony Heart Is Too Hard For Our God! An Apology!
To truly calculate the cost, you must consider both the cost of action and the cost of inaction not only for the near term but in the long term. Jesus calls us to a decision. Choose wisely.

Homily: The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity Sunday 2024.docxJames Knipper
Countless volumes have been written trying to explain the mystery of three persons in one true God, leaving us to resort to metaphors such as the three-leaf clover to try to comprehend the Divinity. Many of us grew up with the quintessential pyramidal Trinity structure of God at the top and Son and Spirit in opposite corners. But what if we looked at this ‘mystery’ from a different perspective? What if we shifted our language of God as a being towards the concept of God as love? What if we focused more on the relationship within the Trinity versus the persons of the Trinity? What if stopped looking at God as a noun…and instead considered God as a verb? Check it out…

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.
The Book of Joshua is the sixth book in the Hebrew Bible and the Old Testament, and is the first book of the Deuteronomistic history, the story of Israel from the conquest of Canaan to the Babylonian exile.

1. 2 Corinthians 3:7-8
Now if the ministry that brought death, which
was engraved in letters on stone, came with
glory, so that the Israelites could not look
steadily at the face of Moses because of its glory,
fading though it was, will not the ministry of the
Spirit be even more glorious?
www.networkbible.org
2. 2 Corinthians 3:9-11
If the ministry that condemns men is glorious,
how much more glorious is the ministry that
brings righteousness! For what was glorious has
no glory now in comparison with the surpassing
glory. And if what was fading away came with
glory, how much greater is the glory of that
which lasts!

3. 2 Corinthians 3:12-13
Therefore, since we have such a hope, we are
very bold. We are not like Moses, who would
put a veil over his face to keep the Israelites from
gazing at it while the radiance was fading away.
www.networkbible.org
4. 2 Corinthians 3:14-16
But their minds were made dull, for to this day
the same veil remains when the old covenant is
read. It has not been removed, because only in
Christ is it taken away. Even to this day when
Moses is read, a veil covers their hearts. But
whenever anyone turns to the Lord, the veil is
taken away.

5. 2 Corinthians 3:17-18
Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit
of the Lord is, there is freedom. And we, who
with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord’s glory,
are being transformed into His likeness with
ever-increasing glory, which comes from the
Lord, Who is the Spirit.

6. We can focus on what we are LOSING or GAINING.
Hebrew word for glory means “WEIGHT” and
points to what you are KNOWN for.
To speak of God’s glory is to speak of something
that makes VISIBLE His presence, power, etc.
What we mean by the ‘glory
days’ is that in some way we
view the PAST as better than the
PRESENT.
7. Paul articulates a CONTRAST between the Old
Covenant and New Covenant.
The old could CONDEMN but not empower.
The law is no longer the foundation of our
relationship with God, JESUS is.
Some Jewish believers want to
return to what they perceived as
the GLORY DAYS
8. The Spirit not only shows us the
RIGHT but enables us to do
RIGHTLY

11. The Jews related to God through the LAW whereas
we relate to God through His SPIRIT.
We are to BEHOLD His glory in order to REFLECT it.
We are to grow in His IMAGE with a view to
sharing in His glory.
The Spirit not only shows us the
RIGHT but enables us to do
RIGHTLY
