Fear Not — I Am with You
God has made promises by covenant that are valid for a 1,000 generations!
So when he advises us to, “Fear Not!” he is also able to prove true to his promise and protect and guide those who trust him. Do we appreciate God’s faithfulness, or consider his wonderful works for his covenant people, Abraham’s children?
If you are a Christian, then consider that you are Abraham’s descendant, regardless of ethnicity, and know that God’s promises are for you, too. The history of Israel is a study in God’s faithfulness in fulfilling his promises to nations and individuals. Though they like Abraham had to wander at times, yet he protected those whose heart was to obey and fear the Lord. But what about us, now? Can we have the confidence in God that will allay our fears?

The Father's Great Plan
God’s Mysterious Plan
Would it surprise you to know that God the Father’s great plan is a mystery to a heavenly audience? Both Paul and Peter wrote to encourage God’s people to remain strong, knowing that they were in a struggle with spiritual forces. And there were angelic onlookers!
The Father’s plan is being worked out in the lives of those he has called to walk with him. And they are to be his witnesses, not only to people, but to angelic beings, too. We who are called into God’s service are stewards of God’s mystery, his plan. And we must understand God’s purpose and our role in it.

What Spirit Motivates You?
A Lesson from James and John
What kind of spirit motivates people to do what they do? To answer that question, Luke, wrote of Jesus’ journey with this disciples to Jerusalem. Along the road the weary travellers asked to stay in a Samaritan village, but they were rebuffed. Why? Because the Samaritans saw that the group was on their way to Jerusalem. Now, there had been 500 years of contention between Jews and Samaritans over where one should worship. It had begun long before in the time of Zerubbabel when the Samaritans ha
d tried to undermine the rebuilding of the temple in Jerusalem. So there was a long-standing ethnic feud that prompted the Samaritan’s reaction to Jesus and his disciples. Their sin was a mere lack of hospitality to travel worn strangers. What would you have done if you walked in their sandals?

On the Road to Passover — Passover People
Passover People our Narrative of Hope
Over the centuries the scourge of anti-semitism has done an effective job of robbing Christians of their heritage as Passover People. How many Christians today understand what Paul wrote? That whether Jew or Gentile, if you belong to Christ you are Abraham’s children? How many understand their role in the biblical narrative, their common scriptural roots and shared biblical standards? But most importantly, how many grasp their new covenant relationship with the Father as Passover People with a glorious destiny?

On the Road to Passover
The New Covenant Passover in 2024 will be observed on Sunday April 21, 2024 after sunset
On the Road to Passover - important instructions from the scriptures to take to heart at this time of year.
Taking the Christian Passover Worthily
The Passover is a yearly time to appreciate God’s gift of forgiveness and to set our hearts to do his will. God has had compassion on us and has called us into his family. But now there is work to be done. Having been cleansed by God’s word we are to become holy as God is holy. No longer slaves to sin, we are now slaves to right living, so we can accomplish God’s purpose. This is an important time of year to consider what that purpose is and how God is working in our lives.
In 2024 according to the Hebrew calculated calendar the Christian Passover will be observed on Sunday evening April 24 after sunset.
Join us as we walk with Christ following in his footsteps.

Biblical Worldview - Esther and Purim
Power of a Biblical Worldview
The scriptures, the source of the biblical worldview, claim to be a "God-breathed." God's revelation of the reality of the world and our role in His plan. In teaching believers "how to live right" the scriptures challenge us to fulfill two overarching commands. "Live by every word of God" and "Bring every thought into captivity." This must be done in order to do our part in fulfilling Christ's will and accomplishing His purpose. But, this cannot be done, except that we have faith as a sure foundation — and this faith is strengthened as we read the stories of our ancestors in the faith.

A Biblical Worldview — Why Christians Fail?
The value system that leads to action is a worldview. So a biblical worldview is a set of moral beliefs/ethics that lead to righteous actions. It is grounded in biblical knowledge and awe of God. And, it is demonstrated through faith that manifests as positive, godly actions. The Barna survey concluded that parents were not guiding their children to adopt such a biblical worldview. For how can you give to the next generation what you do not have yourself…?

Lessons from Patrick of Ireland
Patrick’s Legacy
In North America many celebrate with beer and revelry a day they say is in honour of St. Patrick of Ireland. But here again is a mystery! Very few acknowledge that Patrick was actually a scripturalist. He was faithful to a strongly biblical worldview. How do we know? We can let his own writing inform us of the reality. Patrick, unlike his Romani contemporaries, was a reformer. He did not follow the politically correct version of Christianity that appealed to tradition. Patrick made his assertions from the bible alone. He gave no credence to the authority of the Roman church! It was only centuries later that his legacy was co-opted. When his former rivals claimed his missionary work as their own.

Strangers and Foreigners:
The news is full of stories about the thorny question of immigration. Here in North America, in Europe and many other nations, political leaders are wrestling with this issue. Due to conflict, oppression, or economic deprivation in other nations, many people are fleeing. They are seeking safe havens for themselves and their families. So what should a nation consider in establishing a fair, compassionate, and wise immigration policy — one that serves the country’s citizens and the potential refugees or immigrants. There are those who advocate opening the floodgates. Others want to put up barriers to limit or control access. So what was God’s advice? Are we willing to listen to what God says about immigration?

Faithful Marriage in a Faithless Age
The scriptures, though written millennia ago, offer us solid advice on how to face life's challenges. Consider the wisdom that Paul offered Titus on the roles of men and women in marriage — advice that has stood the test of time. Or delve into Luke's story of Jesus and what it means to be 'submissive' in our relationships.
Our world has largely forsaken the sound counsel that Paul gave to the Ephesians about husbands and wives willingly assuming and fulfilling their God-ordained roles in the family in accordance with God's plan. But we can take up this challenge! We can mindfully put off our carnal nature and put on the mind of God so we can grow in spiritual maturity and do the good work God wants us to do in our families. Marriage is a complex and profound relationship. So it is no wonder that God speaks through his Word to give us insight into this most meaningful of relationships. So how are we doing in our marriage? Or if you are hoping to marry, what type of person do you need to become? The apostles Peter and Paul provide a good checklist of characteristics that would help us in this important task of self-reflection. God is working in us to achieve his purpose, so are we putting in the effort we need to in our families to actively walk together with Christ? Are we divorce-proofing our marriage by building each other up and living in harmony while consciously submitting to God's plan for our lives?

Stressed? — God's Solution
When faced with bad news, disastrous events or conditions, our fear of the uncertainties of our situation whether personal or societal, can create in us a stress response of anxiety, frustration, anger, or despair.
We may not be able to escape these situations that cause us 'distress.' But we have the free will to help us reframe how we view these stressors and focus on godly priorities.
Of course even medical science knows that unmitigated stress can produce hormonal changes that cause mental conditions like depression or physical conditions like high blood pressure. So to live the abundant life God intends for us, we must deal effectively with the stress in our life.
God did not promise a stress-free existence, rather he assured those who followed him that they would face all of life's challenges. But there would be a difference between those who face stresses without God's vision and those who understand God's purpose in their lives.
Many of the biblical writers encourage us to know that God knows and appreciates our situation whatever the circumstances might be that are stressing us. His love for his children is unwavering and his commitment to our ultimate good is steadfast. He is able to free us from our fears and provide our every need.
So then the question becomes one of, 'What must we do and what is God's counsel to those who are in the midst of suffering and stressful situations?'
The scriptures offer sound advice.

Who Are You — What is Your Identity?
Our world likes to label people in ways that cause division. Society would define you and assign you your identity according to its values.
But this is not the way God defines us! If we have come into a relationship with God we are no longer viewed according to our gender, our status in society, or our ethnic heritage. Rather we have been given a new identity as children of God. In God's family we are all 'one' and not divided by our physical heritage or characteristics. For God places no value on our wealth, prowess, worldly wisdom or noble status. In fact, God makes it plain that he has chosen those the world rejects and despises. God has called into his family those the world considers to be foolish and weak and yet they are the ones who will achieve God's great purpose.
So God identifies his children as those who listen to him and follow Jesus Christ their Messiah. It is they who will make a suitable dwelling place for God in their lives by their willingness to grow in spiritual maturity and serve God's purpose.
So what is that purpose? How is that purpose tied to the new way and new identity that God gives to his people? The apostle Paul wrote extensively about God's perspectives on these matters so we all could be encouraged and have the patience and confidence we need to face life's challenges. Let's examine Paul's life so we might consider how it is that when we are weak God can make us strong to do his will.

Avoiding the Traps of the Self-Righteous
Our age is not unlike that of Jesus' time and he warned us to avoid the traps of the self-righteous. The 'Wokies' of today, like the Pharisees of Jesus' day, reject God's standards in favour of their own redefining of what is right or wrong. They have taken a 'holier-than-thou' self-righteous approach that has abandoned the faith and morality of scripture and is intolerant of anyone who does not accept their new orthodoxy.
And yet, the scripture provides examples of Pharisees who took a stand rejecting the majority view and embracing the truth that Jesus' taught.
How would Jesus react to the Woke leaders of western society? Would he point out their hypocrisy and deceitfulness? Would he criticize them for their self-seeking, self-serving lust for power and status? And what advice would Jesus give to his followers today so as to avoid stumbling into the traps of the proud and self-righteous? Consider what the scriptures reveal so we can embrace what God says is good.

Are You Walking With God?
The bible teaches an amazing truth that the Creator, The Word, became a man and in so doing has made it possible for his followers to have a hope of eternal life with him.
Yet there are many in the world of religion that deny this basic teaching of scripture and instead , like the Pharisees of Jesus day, they have set up their own religious standards.
God on the other had has told us that he is looking for justice, loving kindness, and humility in walking with him. So what does it mean to"'walk with God?" How do we walk with anyone?
The basics should be obvious. We must agree to walk to together, we must have the same destination in mind, and we must walk at the same pace being considerate of each other.
But beyond these rudimentary principles God gives us what he expects of those who walk with him.
Consider John's message about Jesus walking on the road to Emmaus, or Paul's admonitions to walk worthy of our calling, or Jude's warning to avoid walking like Cain, Balaam or Korah. Remember Jesus' admonition to Peter and examine ourselves to determine whether we are truly walking with God as we ought.

Are You Awake to God's Promises?
Are you awake to what God will be doing in the coming year? There are those who espouse 'Christianity' who do not believe that God will keep his promises. Or perhaps they think that the prophecies were already completed in some historical past. Do you know what God says and do you trust him to be the same yesterday, today and forever?
In a time of asymmetrical warfare our Western Democracies are under great strain. We need to ask ourselves whether our current dilemmas are the result of having forgotten God's ways so that instead of walking fearlessly on his straight path we are stumbling in the darkness. Jesus warned about the false prophets caught up in their faulty predictions of the future, while also reminding us of the need to be prepared for his return - a return that will surely come.
So do we believe that God will yet fulfill the prophecies that he delivered to his people over the centuries - prophecies of a righteous remnant who would be delivered and return to restore and rebuild Zion? Were the prophets mistaken? Did God change his mind and his promises are no longer valid? Or, will the Lord God return to save his people, those who trust in him? Will he forgive and redeem those who repent so they will be awake to God's purpose?
In the coming year let us be among those who are aware of God's plans and awake to righteousness.
