You will be aware of the fact that I have been some changes and they restrictions over the last couple of days and we are now in what is now in his Tia to which doesn't make a difference to a service of worship. We are still able to do what we are doing now for what it does mean. I don't say to join in the conversation.

She would speak to us in that presents you would encourages and I present you would lead us closer to yourself or do I just help us we do you play in Jesus name? Oh, man.
Play sweeter now to the children's joke for today just got through the questions that were on the leaflet for last week. We were talking about they crossed the Jordan prior to taking possession of the line that God has given to his people and the first question what happened when the priests carry in the office of the Covenant stepped in the Jordan will the waters / impossible to cross over in any other way, but as soon as the priests went in with the Ark of the Covenant and the Witch's divide using their able to walk over on dry land. When everyone had the Jordan what did Joshua come on 12 men to do but they were just like 12 Stones Wild tribe owns Lost Woods from the bed of the river until I get them wisdom. And what were they come on due to do with this what it was to build a memorial remind them of what happened. What was it? That was to remind? What does it tell us about God was the question but it is that I'd God is truly a great and I might see or powerful God in Western mind the people of the wondrous things that God had done in bringing them to that line. But we come this morning an event that took place very shortly. After that. I have crossed the Jordan and it is when
Joshua was giving directions by the Lord to take the city of Jericho by and wish that actually took place called the game was in such an amazing why but it's Joshua and Jericho. Joshua was concerned about the city of Jericho. It was a it was so one that was built with very strong walls are very thick walls. In fact people lived in the woods remember right heart was why did salt and it was very significant city in the whole of the line and renowned for the fact that it would be very very difficult to attack and Conquer that city was concerned about the way in which that was going to happen. And if you saw the Lord about this and the lord gave him Strange instructions lord said to Joshua. I have to live at Jericho to you for 6 days March once around the city with all the armed men have seven priestwood. Ram's Horn trumpet lead the way then on the 7th Day launch around the city 7 times for the phrase fly the trumpets when they sounded long-lost of the Amish out the Wolves of the city will collapse that's incredible. Joshua was commanded the face of a man. He told them what God has tattoos like to prepare themselves for that to get ready to pay the Ark of the Covenant tonight. I had that trumpets Rams horns, and he commanded them around the city just round the outside of the rules just once For each day. And so they did they set off sounded that trumpets and a carrying the Ark of the Covenant with the people of Jericho officially expecting some sort of a time to come. I remember from rehab that she knew that God had blessed his people didn't happen that way wiring then we can send them inside the FIFA FIFA living in Cherokee left rear pads placed on the tops of the walls and have it ready for the attack that I saw it was going to come but I'm sure what the Israelites would doing very surprised because it was just strange thing with a particular God's got in the end and I saw the Ark of the Covenant being carried around outside. The city walls happened but now you are very puzzled. Why should this be happening in a very strange full of attacks that was coming and I swear people who don't know anything of God when God begins to work cuz I see that as a very strange thing and they get pasta with a Nikon quite make it out because God does often work in quite strange ways not strange to us if we truly believe in him, but we know that that is the way the God works. Will it continue the cost for 6 days free Sprint Round?
Call those Six Days Seven times at the Schottenstein. What is seventh day is the Sabbath. It is a diet for us to turn away from everything else that we normally do and to wash it and we don't do it on a Saturday night at least ice because it's quite clear in the Bible, but it is Sunday the first day of the week that we to me and give up all else that we might meet with him and I'm not die a boss around the seven times. Play Trumpets was sounded and then there was that long blast on the trumpet and the people all shopping people thinking about this weapon was that actually fell down with noisy wolves built very strongly and the shout of the people the sound of the trumpet those wolves actually apps and they suddenly very surprised then but that was the case that the Wolves did full and the way that they did and that men took us that the Israelites could get in some sissy quite so easily and they did they took 9 today attacked. People I know you totally destroyed the city that I'm the goddess remember right hot and Joshua told the two who's going to rehab he said go and rescue her and her family and that's exactly what right have did and they will rejoice did the great things that go to dump was one of the commands the golden and that was that I would not to say anything the tool that shity for themselves. The normal practice would be but those who got into the city could actually take that various losses is known as for them self but junk Auto Center Joshua know everything that is taken is to be put in the Lord's. Treasury I just be kept full and still exactly what the people did that they catch all that treasure and I watched as that taken that way and the Lord bless them particularly as my problem with the slides and see what was remember what was happening to praise God for his goodness. And the white the help these people are not caixa. We comment got to pray a game now. And just shy with you a couple of things for a prayer as its site last week and it was right that we would be today during be having a Thanksgiving for Kelsey on Denise Grand Rocha recently found out during the week that there are a couple of queries with that infusion for the lack of communication.

We probably look God that I didn't even I can change it to be the case today the Lord you would revive us mightily you would help us, please Lord God Deuteronomy with a blessing your shower. Please scriptures and to the first letter of pizza the first record pizza, and I'm going to read the first 12 verses.
1 Peter chapter 1 and I reach from first one.
Pizza an apostle of Jesus Christ to those who are elect Exiles of the dispersion in pontus. Galatia, Cappadocia Asia and buy Cydia. According to the foreknowledge of God the father in The sanctification of the spirit for BT's to Jesus Christ of a sprinkling with his blah. A Grace and Peace fighting cat in heaven for you. Who by God's power of being guarded through face for cellophane ready to be revealed in the last time. And this your choice but now for a little while if necessary you have been grieved by various trials so that the tested redness of your face more precious than gold the parishes though. It is tested by fire may be Found Glory obtain the salvation of your soul. The sudden this salvation the prophets who prophesied about the Grays that was to be yours searched and inquired Anthony requirement personal time the spread her Christ in them was indicated when he predicted the sufferings of Christ and the subsequent Glory. It was revealed to them. They were not in the things that have now been announced to you for those who preach the good news to you by the Holy Spirit Sent From Heaven. Things into which Angels long to look a man. May God be pleased to Glass. Stop pushing the base word to IHOP. I want us this morning. To concentrate on the first two verses of that chapter of just read those the game Peter an apostle of Jesus Christ. So those are the elect Exiles of the dispersion in pontus. Galatia, Cappadocia Asia and vice India, according to the foreknowledge of God the father in The sanctification of the spirit for BT's to Jesus Christ after sprinkling with his blond my grace and peace be multiplied to you. Pizza Is it is really believed writing this lesser when he was in Rome? Around about 8068 e 64 to numerous believe us that were in the area of Asia Minor that contains many glorious Church quick seats. The major seems that I presented to us in this epistle versus those who suffer as Christians will be paid. Second the Church of Jesus Christ is the new Temple the new Israel the new people of God. Early Believers just at the hollow from the end-time inherited. The Christ died as a substitute for Sinners and his death is the base of that you live. This lie Christ suffering suffering is an example to his disciples and 6 as a fraction.
Ashley's Resurrection Christ triumphant Christian should live righteously in the homes in society in the lost one New Life In Christ is the basis for Life Of Love on holding us over the next few weeks when I'm actually taking the substance of things that we need to know before it is written by Pizza Pizza who is an apostle the pizza that we recited much off in the scriptures to that particular on special office. That's he might serve the Lord in that why he has done many things. He was usually H e y e s and we thank him for that. We thank God for the way in which she encouraged and I both pizza so to do but the next thing to know since we need to think about this for a bit is to whom was this letter restriccion who were the recipients of this? Well show you a map of the area and you see that but that's it was written or to those who are described as they lacked all of the dispersion in pontus. Galatia Cappadocia Aisha and buy that whole area and Alexa was that is distributed to all those Believers in that area of the Discussion particularly initially suddenly to the Jews in Old Testament times specially who is first two different nations through various judgments and Things That Came Upon them and it is the people that took beat but not necessary and not why Sehun Pizza is right. It is not we believe just the Jews to whom he is the one living in these different districts of the Roman Empire and they are seeking to serve the Lord in those places. They are suffering many also having difficulty and one, Titus says Christians resident resident aliens in this world. I'm in this world for that stay on Earth is temporary. The citizenship is in heaven there for as God's elect. They live on earth as X and temporary residence to come history on folded. I'm not showing you that you could have met just to give her a bit of a joke for you guys soon as our helps rust where these people love but what we see here. We do see a very important biblical principle which many people ignore not really aware of The Bible the New Testament knows nothing of a national church. The church of England does not come in to the church. I'll be fine. This is so clearly presented in the scriptures because she was such a Chase in a towel and maybe it might be calling it is in old is lattice with exception and that's what we read pool is writing to the churches in galatia. There's not right into a National Church is ricing to individual churches a hold of her churches within that particular area in that particular District. How do you find the Lord himself in Revelation chapter 3 Leches. He said he sends each one to each how to Smyrna Ephesus August Leo to see her. And so and so we let this whole concept has no warrant whatsoever the scripture that should is not made up of the nationality of those who attended because the knowledge of the true church of every member of the church is not the nation that is that actual nationality the nationality of the church is that they are those Whose nationality is of Christians who are in heaven as we read the ad in this we all of the people of God and its Niche the church together background is what I culture is all these things Reviving because we serve the Lord in the culture and I sense the nationality of his many. This is the first thing that pizza makes that very clear but it's not just thinking of places of the church and what he's thinking all might's the church shop is in the major parts of these two of us is because we read inverse to their electric saws and we saw a quart. To the foreknowledge of God the father in The sanctification of the spirit for be to Christ Memphis spring clean with his blog by grace and peace be multiplied to you in these in his lesson resents with such amazing fundamental Inglorious biblical truth and easy situation. We are in a very difficult situation. Will you need to be reminded of what is true and what God has given to us when coming to this says this in three separate cruises P to describe three acts of the Triune God the father has for knowledge. The spirit sanctifies in Jesus Christ expects obedience from Those whom he is cleansed from seeing these three closest explain the term. Elect. What is this election? What is his election? This is really matter that's being a discussion and argument over many many years, but this is for knowledge according. The full knowledge of God the Father according to the full knowledge of God the Father teach you. Use this for knowledge that he looked ahead of all this happened. He knows all the future and as he looks future in the 21st century that was to come he saw that such and people would be listening to his word and he did not know you were just saw it to follow him.
Is just a total reversal of Walt the truth actually is we are not saved us at a point in time making some sort of decision to turn to him and his wife and riches he is great. He wants to know it's nothing to do with the full knowledge of God. Is that where he declares is absolute sovereignty in determining and then put the plants in his decision to say sinful man.
We are all Jade and I trust President says there is nothing in our natural being the desires God. We want nothing to do with him.
is he that has to awaken that which brings us to these second thing the scientific notation all the spirit to be made different to be separated to be such a part in the children's joke about the fact that the treasures in Jericho where to be put in the treasury of the Lord the Lord scripture that we all should give it a chance go by income that Miss always come first is separated to him like 10 must be given The Lord but here it is much more significant because it's the spirit of God individual men and women to the rice and the mercy of God. It is called him out of that sit. It's calling them out of their Rebellion. It's cold out of all that I have done. That is so Grievous that it's calling them out from there in about the next time we be thinking a bit more about this.
It can never be next week and we rejoice in that has been given but she had nothing whatsoever to bring herself to that point. It is not what we had. Nothing to contribute it is all of God's grace. It is all of God's message. It's all of God's been watching the second chapter and verse 13. But we always to give thanks to God for you brother by the Lord because God first fruits to be safe there sanctification by the spirit and belief in the truth.
He said if I didn't choose you because she was a gracious and glorious. This is that alpha7 the game the pool with the preacher speaks of in this lesson.
Is all because God has done what he has done and is a spirit and in that confession in that initial sanctification sanctification is goes on around at christianized making this more christ-like. We are totally positive in that way. We cannot contribute in any way whatsoever. What's the point of crying that paper be confetti? What was the point of sharing the gospel? Music. He should be you said God has laid out the go to hear the truth. And this work will take place that gives us the impetus to pry it gives us the impetus to seek God. We know he's going to be out of the Hall of the world. I get out. I was going to be his and they're going to be with all other believers in heaven in the covenant made with the spirit and the Sun weigh packing eternity pause and it comes to fruition. It comes to fruition through all the Lord Jesus Christ has Don we read according to the foreknowledge of God the father in the spirit for a beauty insta Jesus Christ of the Spring Fling with his blah.
It brings that point of a beating benchley. They work is the same but is revived and it is making them to live to cause him to be born a guy but he does to our Lord Jesus Christ to be obedient to God but has no desire to be obedient to God that profession is totally force. It has no stop. NFL life is being live that is not truly an obedient to God again that life is full of that has no reality. This is why we receive this is why we are safe. This is why we know that Grace and about Abby dance is something is extremely serious. It is very real like 15 16 foot piece of ass, he who called you is hardly. You also be holy in all your send it just written you should be holy for I am healthy and every True Believer in God's grace to be holy week, but God helps us and as we go on throughout a Christian, Can use so we become more like him so that Holiness Works true lives. We need his help. We need that. I Ain't Got You live.
But if the spiritual if it if the spirit you put but if I start but if by the spirit you put to death the Deeds of the body you will live. How do you spell priority it is a given over to him. He is Lord and the One World the Peter speaks of particularly here is obedient through his the Lord Jesus Christ came into this world and give himself in order to make himself a sacrifice the whole purpose of Our Lord coming into this world was the sacrifice the history of the Old Testament billions upon billions of animals for sacrifice. Every sacrifice is in effect. A glorious sacrifice a powerful sacrifice irrelevant sacrifice her to be so Jesus also suffered outside the gate, you know, what is a scientific the people through his own he's made the whole point that at least in some matches face. Look forward to the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ and the sacrifice that he would What is in that Bloody suffered outside the gate on Calvary there? He was now so that cross but the Glorious thing with that was he was not kept from the cross. He died on the cross. He was putting the two Heroes against you because you sacrificed was Adidas made us to be like him then pulled a fishings 17. He says in him not to In Christ. We have Redemption through his blood that transports is according to the riches of his grace. We've done done any gift that we have brought not any sacrifice that we have made.
True is blah. The Blobfish that glorious God on the cross where I buy forgiveness of sin is obtained and the measure of that is according to the riches of his grace and that Grace never runs out that Grey's never diminish when Elijah Widow in their collection sticks to cook a loss meals to her and her son that looks like what happened with a free time to use that she went back.
The grace of God never runs out. It is I just there for his people in that glorious. Why and what a glorious truth this is it in different ways.
How we can glory and all that God has done an old is he has given us so no wonder piece of ends the first a couple of vests that screeching by saying May Grace and peace be multiplied to give these people really, how old are a very large print. They will warrant. every travel because the things happening at that time and I knew
Play preacher chausson, and encouraged that Grace and peace will be multiplied to Grace by which we have we saved that Grace. That is a charcoal gift of God for the game says Ephesians 2:4 by Grace. You have been saved through faith. And this is north of your own doing it is a gift of God not a result of works. So that no one my clothes that Grace. blackface Is our salvation and even that face even that belief that we exercise it is the gift of God and he brings that piece that piece that the world knows nothing of peace. I give to you my peace I leave with you leave with you.
Put a piece of Jesus Christ is totally different for the Peace of the world. Cuz a piece of Jesus Christ is a piece web by we are at peace with God because of his glorious Grace. God's Gift of Grace results in peace even in the depths of my despair We could know that peace. Now I said earlier, but they need to be helpful to look at some of the Hidden that we seen as a blessed of a hidden that I just like to make you think about but the moments that sums up a tree stumps out the truth that we have been thinking of today in a Scottish Minister 7 or so Faithfully who died when he was 29 years old when this passing world has done the Lost verse is this chosen for good in me? Cool bike race path to flee hidden in the Savior side by the spirit Sanctified see the truth, but he brings out that now he teaches theology. Hymns in Hans and remind if that written properly all sociology the god teaches in his word and they can help us like this. I know we don't have to say no. We can think upon that was him and perhaps we can do that in a totally different way. Just think of what is being sad about the truth and I'll be speaking of some type in those three lines, but he has that last line of cos, but it's so important to teach me Lord on Earth to show Bye bye love. How much?
I wonder the number times 2 gives son that the mirror if I stop Kobe asking for that the outlaw My show for The Glorious on the wondrous grace of God truly radiant to him. I may the Lord with fly his word to us. Let me know that Grace and we know that Abby. I know that Glory. I've rested and all that. God has given to us.
Loving God and Father. Free Fridays and stank for the glory of your Christ and the eternal security have your peace Lord apply your what? I load my truTV. that we will why I love shove. How much we are? and now had a great night that the beauty. Of Jesus be seen in me. All his wondrous compassion and purity. All about Spirit divine all my nitrifying to the beauty of Jesus be seen in me. pom hat
