MY KING

I wanted to do something a little different for this study.  The last few weeks have seemed more tumultuous than ever. The whole word seems to be in turmoil, with issues of war and hatred to the weather and geographical upheaval.  Lives have been changed forever in these last few weeks.  It's easy to get caught up in worry and woe, and to look at what's happening around us instead of keeping our eyes on our Savior.  Let's remind ourselves and each other that we serve a sovereign God who loves us and gave His life for us. He is in control and He has appointed everything to play out according to His will and His purpose. As we see all these things happening, let us remember to look up. Our redemption draws near.

I decided to post this piece called "My King" by Chuck Missler for our next study.  I have benefited greatly from Chuck's teachings.  There is a wealth of free material made available on his website Khouse.org.   Every time I read this, I'm overcome with love, amazement and gratitude, among many other emotions.  It's good to be reminded of Who we serve.  Let's worship.






My King

by Chuck Missler

He is the King of the Jews
   He is the King of Israel
But He's also
   King of all the Ages;
   King of Heaven;
   King of Glory;
   King of Kings;
     ..and Lord of Lords.

He is
   a prophet before Moses;
   a priest after Melchizedek;
   a champion like Joshua;
   an offering in place of Isaac;
   a king from the line of David;
   a counselor above Solomon;
   beloved, rejected, and exalted
      like Joseph;
and yet far more...
 
The Heavens declare His glory...
   and the firmament shows
      His handiwork.

He who is, who was, and who always will be;

The first and the last
   He is the Alpha and Omega
      the Aleph and the Tau
         the A and the Z;

He is the ego eimi,
   the
      the "I AM that I AM"

The voice of the burning bush
   the Captain of the Lord's Host
      the conqueror of Jericho

He is our Kinsman-Redeemer
   and He is our Avenger of Blood;
      and He is our City of Refuge;

He was crucified on a cross of wood;
   Yet He made the hill
      on which it stood.

By Him were all things made
      that were made;
   without Him was not anything made
      that was made;

By Him are all things held together!

In Him dwells
   the fullness of the Godhead bodily;
      The very God of very God.

He became
   the first fruits of them that slept.

He is our Performing High Priest;
   Our Personal Prophet;
      Our Reigning King.

He is enduringly strong;
   entirely sincere;
      eternally steadfast;

He is imperially powerful;
   immortally graceful;
      impartially merciful;

He stands alone in Himself:
   He's unique,
      pre-eminent,
         supreme,
            unparalleled:

He's the Loftiest idea
   in Literature;

He's the highest Personality
   in Philosophy;

He's the Fundamental Doctrine
   of Theology;

He's the Supreme Problem
   in "higher criticism"!

He's the Son of God!

There is no means of measuring
   his limitless love:

It was written in blood,
   on that wooden cross
      erected in Judea
         2,000 years ago. 

He was born of a woman
   so that we could be born of God;
He humbled Himself
   so that we could be lifted up;
He became a servant
   so that we could be made joint-heirs;
He suffered rejection
   so that we could become His friends;
He denied Himself
   so that we could freely receive all things;
He gave Himself
   so that He could bless us in every way.

He
   is Available to the tempted and the tried;
   Blesses the young;
   Cleanses the lepers;
   Defends the feeble;
   Delivers the captives;
   Discharges the debtors;
   Forgives the sinners;
   Franchises the meek;
   Guards the besieged;
   Heals the sick;
   Provides strength to the weak;
   Regards the aged;
   Rewards the diligent;
   Serves the unfortunate;
   Sympathizes and He saves!

His Offices are many;
His Reign is righteous;
His Promises are certain;
His Goodness is limitless;
His Light is matchless;
His Love never changes;
His Grace is sufficient;
His Mercy is everlasting;
His Word is enough;
His Yoke is easy and
   His Burden is light!

He's indescribable;
He's incomprehensible;
He's irresistable;
He's invinceable!

The Heaven of heavens
   cannot contain Him;
Man cannot explain Him

The Pharisees couldn't stand Him
   but soon learned
      that they couldn't stop Him;

They railroaded Him
   through 6 illegal trials,
      and yet

The witnesses couldn't agree against Him
   and the personal representative
      of the ruler of the world,
         couldn't find any fault with Him;

Herod couldn't kill Him
   death couldn't handle Him
      the grave couldn't hold Him!

He has always been and always will be;
   He had no predecessor and
      will have no successor;
You can't impeach Him and
   he isn't going to resign!

His name is above every name;
   That at the name of Yeshua
Every knee shall bow
   Every tongue shall confess
That Jesus Christ is Lord!

His is the kingdom,
   and the power,
      and the glory...
         for ever, and ever.

Hallelujah! ...and Amen!

DOUBLE PORTION: A Study of Hannah

Image
We often hear of the proverbial “blessing in disguise.” Many times, in fact, I would say every time we are faced with loss and hardship, there will be a blessing attached to it. It’s in our barrenness, our dry times, our wildernesses that we learn things we could not have learned otherwise. But when we come out on the other side, what we learned turns out to be precious stones in our lives. Our study of Hannah begins In 1 Samuel 1. I will be using the New King James Bible and the Blue Letter Bible and Strong’s as references. 1 Samuel 1: 1-2: “Now there was a certain man of Ramathaim Zophim, of the mountains of Ephraim, and his name was Elkanah the son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tohu, the son of Zuph, an Ephraimite. And he had two wives; the name of one was Hannah, and the name of the other Peninnah. Peninnah had children, but Hannah had no children. Right from the start we get a clue for studying the story of Hannah when we look at the Hebrew word Ramathaim ...

MAY ALL WHO COME BEHIND US FIND US FAITHFUL

This summer we lost two heroes of the faith. Though they are no longer with us, their testimonies will live on indefinitely. Most people knew who Billy Graham was. Some might not be as familiar with the other one, Chuck Missler. Nevertheless, he had a huge following and impact on the world for Christ. Both had a tremendous impact in the world for evangelism and discipleship. It’s interesting as I write this, I see that in the twofold commission that Jesus gave his disciples that Billy Graham was most impactful in evangelism, while Chuck Missler’s call and passion was for discipleship. Chuck’s work can be found on his website khouse.org. I would urge everyone, if you are not familiar with Chuck’s Bible studies, to check them out. They have been most meaningful in my growth as a disciple of Christ. What is so significant about these two men and their ministries, is that their witness, impact and fruit will continue long after they are gone. This is true of so many, for example,...

JAEL, THE MOUNTAIN GOAT: Deborah, Barak and Jael, Part 2

Image
This next study is a very personal one for me.  Let me elaborate.  I didn't know until about fourth or fifth grade that I walked "funny." I was made fun of and became very self-conscious as a young girl.  At a time in our lives where we just want to blend into our surroundings, I felt like all eyes were on me with every step I took. My walk would come to define who I was. I wouldn't find out why I walked the way I do until I was in my forties.  And the details don't matter.  What does matter is that God taught me so many things that I wouldn't have known otherwise, simply because of the way I walk.  It began to have a parallel meaning of my walk with the Lord. Also, I don't have pretty feet. It's all related.  So when I was studying Jael, I made a discovery that really spoke to my heart.  You'll see in the lesson when we see that Jael's name means "mountain goat."  These mountain goats are surefooted climbers.  Their feet are designed...
