Hebrews 7:26-28

How amazing is our high priest? The author of Hebrews absolutely wants us to grasp the amazing nature of Jesus. Andrew and Edwin discuss the litany of praise our author proclaims for Jesus our High Priest.

This past Sunday God spoke to us about brands, and how labels and tags can be a curse and a blessing. How some labels lead us down wrong paths exalting what is not godly, while other labels and tags, can cause us to be set apart and help assure us that we reach the destination God has intended.  If you did not hear the message go back pull it up it will bless you.

This morning I want to talk to you about a King in the bible whose legacy is righteousness, but who is also the least talked about King in the bible.  King David is known as a young child taking down Goliath.  King Solomon was considered the wisest man who ever lived And King Saul was known for unifying the tribes of Israel.  

But the King I am talking about is King Josiah, he didn’t physically slay any giants, he may have been a man of intelligence, but certainly was not considered the wisest nor was his claim to fame undergird in a big feat of unity.  King Josiah was known simply for being righteous.  When he became King at such a young age, all he knew was to follow the traditions and teaching of his forefathers.

But one day someone brought to him the law of God and when he read it realized that all that he was doing was wrong, out of the will of God and not aligned with the plan of God. In 2 Kings 22 scripture said when he heard the word of God, he tore his robe

Psalm 38

We get it. It looks like Jesus simply can't be found in Psalm 38. After all, Psalm 38 is all about what David is experiencing because of his sins. Surely we aren't supposed to find Jesus in that. However, Andrew and Edwin do find Jesus in this psalm and it is powerful and profound.

Psalm 15

We get it. The past couple of days have been a little unsettling. Here is this beautiful poem about the person who actually gets to dwell with God and what we've been saying about it is none of us fit the bill. But, honestly, it is only by noticing that without watering down what it says that really gets us to how important this psalm is. Because, in fact, when God couldn't find anyone who fit this bill, He sent someone who would fit this bill. Jesus is really who Psalm 15 is about. And what a great message that is for us. Edwin and Andrew discuss how Jesus is who Psalm 15 leads us to.

All week long we have studied the birth, life, death and tomorrow the resurrection of Jesus and the impact that He has even now on each of our lives.  Let give his some praise and lift the name of Jesus today.

There are two scriptures that threw me for a loop. The first one is Ecclesiastes 7:20 and it reads, Surely there is not a righteous man on earth who does good and never sins.  The second one is Matthew 5:48  and it reads. You therefore must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.  I started thinking OK how can both of these be true. www.BibleDeliverance.org

In today's episode, we look at our journey as Christians and as writers, and what we should expect from ourselves as we go. For Christians we explore the question of whether we can be sinless in this world, now that we have Christ living in us. For writers, I offer some suggestions on how to determine if it's time to be done with your story and move on to the next. When might your book be ready for the world? Listen in to find out!
