What Is Control? Control seems to be a problem in every time of transition from an old wave of God's glory to a new wave, such as we are experiencing today. The power of control affects every circle of Christianity. The abuse of control holds people in unnecessary bondage and hinders them from fulfilling the purpose of God in their lives. There is a natural control that people can exert over others, and there is a self-control that must be exercised within the individual. But there is also a demonic control that can be exercised by one person over another. While this book will deal with the abuse of control, we will also examine the positive side of control, which is called "commitment." This God-given authority is placed on an individual who is committed to fulfill the plan of God in the earth and who looks to the Lord—not to people—for personal security and promotion. Each of us needs to exercise self-control in order to keep ourselves free from sin. We exercise that control by applying the Word of God to our lives. The Word is the balance, and we must all use discipline in our daily experiences. But people who exercise abusive control seek to become the deciding factor in the lives of others. Such individuals replace the Word of God as the balance in the lives of those whom they dominate; they react negatively if they are not the control point of all decisions made. We must realize that what is happening in the spiritual realm is being reflected in the natural realm. There is a great struggle going on in the world today for control of people's minds. This struggle is between the forces of light (Christianity) and the forces of darkness (Satanic powers).

Find hope in Christ as you are reminded of His amazing promises. This reading plan comprised of articles from a variety of Bibles by Zondervan Publishers offers insights into having hope during a various aspects of life.
The context of 10-12 indicate that Antiochus Epiphanies is the subject matter of chapter 12 and not to force the text to say something it doesn't. A spiritual application would be: I. The hope of the suffering saint. "Many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt."
II. Secondly, the reward of the working saint. "They that are wise shall shine,"
III. The rest of the waiting saint. "Go thou thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days."
Not a textual lesson on the chapter itself for it has been previously explained. This lesson deals with the concept of the kingdom of God and how the church IS the kingdom prophesied in Daniel 2.
One will discover the King's request, his rage, and his reward.
We have a contrast: the king’s sorcerers; the king's suspicions and the king's severity. Then there is the Wise men's stalling, their sentence and their salvation.

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.

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…

they were making a grave
mistake in being tempted to

10. Two Great Examples of
Faithfulness
MosesMoses
(a) He identified himself with those
he led standing up for his own
(Exod. 2:11, 12).
(b) He was capable of making
difficult choices (Heb. 11:23-29).
(c) He exhibited a humble spirit
(Numb. 12:3).
(d) He believed in the message, not
himself.
(e) He took responsibility seriously.
11. Their Difference:
Moses was a servant of the house, Jesus was the son, the owner.
• Moses labored in a house he did not build, Christ in the house he built,
his own house.
• Moses did not lead the people into the Promised Land; Christ leads the
people into glory.
• Moses was sinful, Christ is sinless (Deuteronomy 32:51, 52; Hebrews
4:15).
• Moses brought only the patterns of things to come, Christ the realities.
• Moses delivered from physical bondage, Christ from the spiritual bondage
of sin.
• Moses gave bread from heaven to sustain physical life, Christ bread from
heaven that gives and sustains eternal life.
• Moses' mission pertained only to Israel, Christ's, ultimately, to the "whole
creation" (Mark 16:15).
• Moses was only a man; Christ was and is both God and man.
• Moses' body was buried and saw corruption; Christ's was spared that by
means of the resurrection.
• Moses was not a high priest; Christ is the eternal High Priest. (Coffman

24. ““Gospel Preached”Gospel Preached”
Psalm 95Psalm 95
The gospel taught them Who
God Is to man – LORD (I AM
– the eternal all existent
one); Rock (a shelter to
stand under); King (ruler of
universe); Maker (the creator
of all things).
The gospel taught them
What man is to God – We are
his Sheep (in need of
constant care); We are his
Choir (joyful participants of
his blessing) We are his
Grandeur (notice the term
“his hands.” Though the sea
and the deep are in his
hands it is his people who
are under his gaze, the
sheep held in his hands).
The gospel taught them the Hardship of Rebellion – It is here the Hebrew writer
drives his point home. When they failed to listen today they failed in tomorrow.
That failure to listen today led them to being sifted by a grieved God because
they refused to know his ways.
25. Can One Disappoint God?
Hebrews 3:7, 8Hebrews 3:7, 8
“Today if you will“Today if you will
hear his voice, dohear his voice, do
not harden yournot harden your
hearts as in thehearts as in the
rebellion……”rebellion……”
26. “The Rest”
• The rest in the Psalm
95:11 appears to
address the physical
promise however the
Hebrew author makes
it a point to direct his
audience to the future
– the heavenly.
28. God’s Word is:God’s Word is:
• The word is emphasized 12 times in this book. It
upholds the universe (1:3); is steadfast (2:2);
was preached (4:2); always active (4:12); is
balanced like a diet (5:13, 14); is pleasant to
work with (6:5); secures vows (7:28); built and
designed the universe (11:3); elicits great fear
(12:19); tears down and builds up (12:27);
respectable (13:7) and afflicts the conscience
(13:22).
V. 12 That which is God breathed, inspiredbreathed, inspired.
29. God’s Word is:God’s Word is:
• Alive – it breathes life
into anyone who will
accept its truth. Man is
dead without God (Eph.
2:1).
• It is relevant.
• Alterations to it destroys
its vitality – it abides
forever and is the
everlasting gospel (Psa.
119:160; 1 Pet 1:25; Heb.
13:20).
30. God’s Word is:God’s Word is:
• Powerful – it energizes
for production not
destruction of the
human race.
• Not only can it revive
the mind it can revive
the spirit. Why else
would your preacher
recommend one to read
their Bible daily?
• It is explosive (Rom.
1:16; Jn. 1:12; Heb. 1:3).
31. God’s Word is:God’s Word is:
• Sharp “The word of God
has an incisive and
penetrating quality. It lays
bare self-delusions and
moral sophisms.” Vincent
(Eph. 6:17). Only the
word can accurately
remove that which is
abscessed in our life.
Being “double mouthed”
or two-edged give it the
authority to be yielded for
its intended purpose
which ever direction it is
pointed. Its dual nature
signifies it a defensive
and offensive weapon of
choice.
32. God’s Word is:God’s Word is:
• Piercing – It Penetrates
any barrier and strikes
the nerve of the heart.
Truth penetrates just as
light pierces the
darkness. Regardless of
the amount evil in the
world, the word can
penetrate the darkness
and liberate.
33. God’s Word is:God’s Word is:
• Dividing The form of
expression is poetical,
and signifies that the
word penetrates to the
inmost recesses of our
spiritual being as a sword
cuts through the joints
and marrow of the body.
The separation is not of
one part from another,
but operates in each
department of the
spiritual nature. The
judgment scene in
Matthew 25 shows its
power of separation.
34. God’s Word is:God’s Word is:
• DiscernerDiscerner - it
possesses a
judgment involving
the sifting out and
analysis of evidence.
The ideas of
discrimination and
judgment are
blended. Ananias and
Sapphira could not
resist the Probing
power of the word
(Acts 5).
35. The HeartThe Heart
The spiritual heart has three components:
1) Intellectual – one can think with it (Prov. 23:7).
2) Volitional – one can decide with it (Rom. 6:17).
3) Emotional – one may feel with it (1 Pet. 1:22).
The heart is the target of the word of God. One
cannot love the Lord with all their heart (Matt.
22:37) without loving the word. It is not merely
studied, sermonized, or memorialized in stone, it
is written on the heart and mind leading one to
perfect love and worship.
36. God’s Word:God’s Word:
• V. 13 - Unmasks - The
inspired word unmasks and
makes clear our faithfulness or
unbelief. Nothing is hidden
from the Creator whose
scrutiny encompasses all of
creation. God sees and knows
all, and we stand accountable
for our response to the divine
word (Psa. 139).
• The term "laid bare" comes
from the verb "to grip in a
neck-hold," an image that
conveys vulnerability and peril.
This stress on our exposure
and accountability provides a
solemn warning for all of us
who hear the word of God.
Jesus reminds us in John
5:24-30 how important
listening to him can be thus the
word is inescapable in that we
will meet up with it in judgment
