DEVOTION: 1 Corinthians 9:16-27 English Standard Version (ESV)

16 For if I preach the gospel, that gives me no ground for boasting. For necessity is laid upon me. Woe to me if I do not preach the gospel!17 For if I do this of my own will, I have a reward, but if not of my own will, I am still entrusted with a stewardship. 18 What then is my reward? That in my preaching I may present the gospel free of charge, so as not to make full use of my right in the gospel.

19 For though I am free from all, I have made myself a servant to all, that I might win more of them. 20 To the Jews I became as a Jew, in order to win Jews. To those under the law I became as one under the law (though not being myself under the law) that I might win those under the law. 21 To those outside the law I became as one outside the law (not being outside the law of God but under the law of Christ) that I might win those outside the law. 22 To the weak I became weak, that I might win the weak. I have become all things to all people, that by all means I might save some. 23 I do it all for the sake of the gospel, that I may share with them in its blessings.

24 Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives the prize? So run that you may obtain it. 25 Every athlete exercises self-control in all things. They do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable. 26 So I do not run aimlessly; I do not box as one beating the air. 27 But I discipline my body and keep it under control,[a] lest after preaching to others I myself should be disqualified.

 

"For the sake of the Gospel", that is the key phrase in all of this.  Paul's sole purpose is advancing the Gospel into the hearts and lives of all of God's creation.  He was sent to make known the good news of Jesus! 

 

And here is the good news, here is the Gospel: Jesus came to fulfill the law and then suffer and die for us because we couldn't.  Three days later he rose from the dead as victor over sin, death the devil, and hell. Because he died, we die with him, and because he rose from the dead we rise with him to eternal life!  On the last day he will give to all believers complete, total, and everlasting freedom from sin, death, the devil, and hell!" 

 

So Paul, did everything he could and lived the way he needed to live to make sure the Gospel had free course in everyone's life.  Whether they were Jew or Greek, slave or free, from the right side or the wrong side of town, he became one off them so that they could be come one of him, a saved human being who would live forever because of God's mercy and grace!

 

As one who has been hit by the Gospel bug, not in as much of a dramatic way as Paul, but hit nonetheless, I often feel the same way as he did.  I will do anything, be anything, forgive whoever I need to forgive, live however I need to live so that others can hear the Gospel and believe it.  That is my sole purpose in life!  I can never satisfy this urge enough.  I continuously want to do more, be more, and go more to spread the good news about Jesus.

 

I'll pray for you too, that you get that same fire in the belly that I have to proclaim the good news of the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus, because there is no more satisfying, wonderful, exciting thing in all the world than bringing someone to the full knowledge of Jesus Christ their Savior!  Let's get after this together and get to work! 

 

Prayer: Lord, thank you for giving me the privilege to proclaim the good news of your kingdom and righteousness!  Help me to have the energy, stamina, and joy to keep doing it till the day I die.  Amen.

NEWS:

RETIREMENT SEMINARS AVAILABLE.  WHO IS INTERESTED?

Denny Hagan from eldercare associates would like to know how many people would be interested in attending one or more of the following seminars if he were to come out to St. John's to do them.

 

 

  1. Identity theft. With tax season coming, this is a serious concern to not only seniors, but to everybody that has a Social Security Number. As a matter of fact, the most profitable Information on the net, is for children. It takes much longer to catch the issue, due to lack of use of the children's numbers.

 

  1. Changes in how Medicare Part B, is billed to Seniors, It is more important than ever that one takes the time to plan their retirement. Medicare part B is billed based on one's income, and to make it even more confusing, it is based on your income of 2 years ago.  Now, before we start scaring anybody, If they are already receiving benefits, this new rule, will not apply. All of these rules, are changes in Social Security. 

 

  1. Understanding Social Security: how to get all that is coming to you and making the most of it. 

 

 

If anyone is interested in any of these, please let me know, and if we get enough people interested, we will get Denny to come out and do a presentation.

DEVOTION:  Isaiah 40:21-31 English Standard Version (ESV)

21 Do you not know? Do you not hear?
    Has it not been told you from the beginning?
    Have you not understood from the foundations of the earth?
22 It is he who sits above the circle of the earth,
    and its inhabitants are like grasshoppers;
who stretches out the heavens like a curtain,
    and spreads them like a tent to dwell in;
23 who brings princes to nothing,
    and makes the rulers of the earth as emptiness.

24 Scarcely are they planted, scarcely sown,
    scarcely has their stem taken root in the earth,
when he blows on them, and they wither,
    and the tempest carries them off like stubble.

25 To whom then will you compare me,
    that I should be like him? says the Holy One.
26 Lift up your eyes on high and see:
    who created these?
He who brings out their host by number,
    calling them all by name;
by the greatness of his might
    and because he is strong in power,
    not one is missing.

27 Why do you say, O Jacob,
    and speak, O Israel,
"My way is hidden from the Lord,
    and my right is disregarded by my God"?
28 Have you not known? Have you not heard?
The Lord is the everlasting God,
    the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He does not faint or grow weary;
    his understanding is unsearchable.
29 He gives power to the faint,
    and to him who has no might he increases strength.
30 Even youths shall faint and be weary,
    and young men shall fall exhausted;
31 but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength;
    they shall mount up with wings like eagles;
they shall run and not be weary;
    they shall walk and not faint.

What does it mean to "wait for the Lord"?  Does it mean wait for the Lord to return?  Does it simply mean wait for the Lord to do something for you?  Actually "wait" and "Hope" come from the same root word in Hebrew, and if you think about it, they kind of mean the same thing, or at least they should when it comes to Jesus.

                When we, as Americans, think of the word "hope" it often means that we want it to happen but it might or it might not actually happen.  Hope is more of a wish than a certainty for us.  For the people in Isaiah's day and even in Jesus' day, hope was more of a certainty.  Hoping for something was the same as waiting for something.  So when the Bible says that we should hope in the Lord, it isn't something that may or may not happen.  It's a certainty.  Therefore in our passage above, those who wait "hope" for the Lord WILL renew their strength.  It simply is not a matter of if but of when. 

                Sometimes you have to wait longer than others.  Sometimes you may wonder what is taking God so long.  Sometimes you may even get angry with God for not taking care of things in your time but his.  Whatever the case, know that God's promises are certain.  He WILL renew your strength.  You will mount up on with wings like eagles.  You will run and not grow weary.  You will walk and not faint. 

                The ultimate fulfillment of this promise will come on the day the Lord Jesus takes you to be with him forever.  After that time there will be no more waiting for the Lord, because all of his promises will be fulfilled in the present time for you and you will be with him forever.

 

Lord, thank you for making me wait for you.  Make me to be sure of your promises and confident that you will fulfill all of them in your own time and in your own way.  Amen.

YESTERDAY'S QUIZ: 

What was a tabernacle?

From Don Nolte- It was the tent of Jehovah, or movable sanctuary which Moses was directed to erect in the wilderness.  It could be easily taken down and erected during the Israelites wanderings.

 

From Pat King- Oh! I know this! And no, Sandy, it is NOT because I helped build the first one.

Anyway, it was a portable place of worship. Sort of a mobile home church. It was first built – using God's precise instructions - during the time of the Exodus, when the Jews were wandering around in the desert, looking for the Promised Land.

 

You can read about it on Wiki, if you want more info. But, if you really want to know about it, there is a PDF you can download at this link: http://netbiblestudy.com/00_cartimages/Tab-Lesson%205.pdf

DEVOTION:  Psalm 147:1-11  English Standard Version (ESV)

He Heals the Brokenhearted

147 Praise the Lord!
For it is good to sing praises to our God;
    for it is pleasant,[a] and a song of praise is fitting.
The Lord builds up Jerusalem;
    he gathers the outcasts of Israel.
He heals the brokenhearted
    and binds up their wounds.
He determines the number of the stars;
    he gives to all of them their names.
Great is our Lord, and abundant in power;
    his understanding is beyond measure.
The Lord lifts up the humble;[b]
    he casts the wicked to the ground.

Sing to the Lord with thanksgiving;
    make melody to our God on the lyre!
He covers the heavens with clouds;
    he prepares rain for the earth;
    he makes grass grow on the hills.
He gives to the beasts their food,
    and to the young ravens that cry.
10 His delight is not in the strength of the horse,
    nor his pleasure in the legs of a man,
11 but the Lord takes pleasure in those who fear him,
    in those who hope in his steadfast love.

 

I know a lot of people who are walking around with broken hearts right now.  In fact, I think we live in an age of a broken heart epidemic.  There are a lot of hurting, sad, and broken people out there.  There are those who have lost loved one, those who have had their marriages torn apart, those whose parents have abused or abandoned them, those who have been sexually abused or harassed.  I could go on and on with a list of how people are broken hearted.

        We can either dwell on that list and let them stay broken, or we can do something about it.  We can turn to Jesus for what we need!  It simply requires a heart that is willing to be turned, and the means by which to turn. The Holy Spirit has given you both.  He has given you the will to turn, and the means of grace by which he makes you able to turn.

        There is so much encouragement and peace in these verses!  God takes you and puts the salve of his mercy on your wounds.  He bandages you up with his grace and forgiveness.  He lifts you up with His joy and peace!  He cares for you and restores your broken heart!  He alone can truly do it!  Trust in him!  Believe in his power!  Have life in his name! 

 

Prayer: Lord, heal my broken heart.  Help me not to continue to rehearse and dwell on my past hurts and offenses, but to live a new and free life in your mercy and grace so that others may see our joy and glorify you!  Amen.

YESTERDAY'S QUIZ:  What were they to do with the lamb at the first Passover?

From Pat King: Well, duh! Eat it! With a nice jelly sauce. Here's a link of Seder meal for dummies: http://www.dummies.com/education/holidays/the-symbolic-foods-at-a-passover-seder/

 

But,seriously, the Korban Pesakh – aka: sacrifice of Passover or Paschal Lamb – was ritually slaughtered on the eve of Passover, then eaten on the first night of the holiday with certain herbs and matzo. In the original Passover, the blood of the lamb was smeared on the door post, so that the Angel of Death would "pass over" that home and spare the family. You guys can read all about this on Jewish sites.

 

Anyway, today, Jews don't do the whole slaughter thingie – PETA would throw a fit – but apparently it is still done on Mt. Gerizim by those pesky Samaritans.
