“The whole world knows that Jews have been a persecuted ethnic group for most of the last two millennia. It is astounding to me that any Christian would dishonor a Jew just for being Jewish. Christians who have actively persecuted Jews because they are Jews are completely out of line with the Bible and the heart of God. I hope you will agree with me as you review what the Bible has to say about Jews”.~~Bob Fox

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.
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.

18. (10) On their return the apostles told Jesus all they
had done. He took them with him and withdrew
privately to a city called Bethsaida. (11) When the
crowds found out about it, they followed him; and
he welcomed them, and spoke to them about the
kingdom of God, and healed those who needed to
be cured. (12) The day was drawing to a close, and
the twelve came to him and said, "Send the crowd
away, so that they may go into the surrounding
villages and countryside, to lodge and get
provisions; for we are here in a deserted place."
(13) But he said to them, "You give them something
to eat." They said, "We have no more than five
loaves and two fish—unless we are to go and buy
food for all these people." (14) For there were
about five thousand men. And he said to his
disciples, "Make them sit down in groups of about
fifty each." (15) They did so and made them all sit
down. (16) And taking the five loaves and the two
fish, he looked up to heaven, and blessed and
broke them, and gave them to the disciples to set
before the crowd. (17) And all ate and were filled.
What was left over was gathered up, twelve
baskets of broken pieces.

Lord’s prayer teach

4. What does it teach

ourselves?
5. What do Jesus’
actions teach us
about prayer?
JESUS TEACHES US HOW TO PRAY
(PAGES 202-205; 211)
20. Luke 11:2-4
2He said to them, "When
you pray, say:
" 'Father,
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come.
3Give us each day our daily
bread.
4Forgive us our sins,
for we also forgive
everyone who sins against
us.
And lead us not into
temptation. "
Matthew 6:9-13
"This, then, is how you
should pray:
" 'Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
10your kingdom come,
your will be done
on earth as it is in heaven.
11Give us today our daily
bread.
12Forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our
debtors.
13And lead us not into
temptation,
but deliver us from the evil
one.'
21. ". . .prayer taught by Jesus to His disciples, and the principle prayer used
by all Christians in common worship.
"The Lord's Prayer resembles other prayers that come out of the Jewish
matrix of Jesus' time and contains three common Jewish elements: praise,
petition and a yearning for the common Kingdom of God .
"Biblical scholars disagree about Jesus' meaning in the Lord's Prayer.
Some view it as "existential," referring to man's present experience on
earth, while others interpret it as “eschatological,” referring to the coming
Kingdom of God.
TRADITIONAL MATTHEAN VERSION (Roman Catholic)
Our Father who art in Heaven, Hallowed be thy name;
Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done On earth as it is in heaven. Give us
this day our daily bread; And forgive us our trespasses, As we forgive
those who trespass against us; And lead us not into temptation, But
deliver us from evil.
