Moses: The Man Who Talked to God Face to Face

Image
  Moses is one of the most towering figures in all of Scripture — a stuttering shepherd turned deliverer, a failed murderer turned lawgiver, a man God knew face to face. His life is a breathtaking study in how God uses broken, reluctant people to accomplish extraordinary things. There is a detail tucked near the end of Deuteronomy that stops me every time I read it. Moses has just finished his final sermon. He has delivered three speeches, a song, and a blessing. He has poured out everything he has left — all his passion, all his wisdom, all his love for this stubborn, beloved people he has shepherded for forty years. And then God says: go up to the mountain and look at the land. You will see it. But you will not go in. So Moses climbs Mount Nebo. God shows him the whole land — north to south, east to west — the land He promised to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. And then Moses dies. Right there on the mountain. In full view of everything he has worked toward his entire life, but never ...

Deuteronomy Explained: Loving God and Choosing Life

Image
Deuteronomy is Moses' farewell sermon — a passionate, urgent call to love God with everything you have, choose life over death, and walk faithfully in His ways. Here's what this often-overlooked book is really about and why it matters deeply for your faith today. Picture this: forty years of wandering are finally over. The generation that trembled at the base of Sinai has died in the wilderness. A new generation stands at the edge of the Jordan River, looking across at the land God promised their ancestors. They are about to cross over. They are about to inherit everything. And Moses — 120 years old, still sharp-eyed, still on fire — has one last thing to say. What follows is the book of Deuteronomy: three sermons delivered in the plains of Moab, in the final weeks before Moses dies and Israel crosses into Canaan. It is one of the most important books in the entire Bible, quoted more than almost any other in the New Testament, cherished by Jesus himself, and yet often ski...

Prophecy is Greater than Tongues 1 Corinthians 14 Notes

  Prophecy > Tongues Sermon Notes Open with me to 1st Corinthians 14 and let’s Pray. -The Holy Spirit Teaching Us -Unity of the Brethren -To Pursue Love 1 John 1:5 “God is light: in Him there is no darkness at all.” Of all the light [electromagnetic spectrum] that is whizzing around us.  Humans can only see what we call visible light, and this light makes up less than 1% of all the light, actually less than 35 ten thousandths of a % of all the light.  We see in a mirror dimly but one day we will see Him face to Face.  And so it is with the Holy Spirit Gift of tongues.   There is some small percentage of the Glory that God is due that I am actually able to give in the English language.  But, when praying, it can become overwhelming and we just don’t have the words to express to God what needs to be said, so the Holy Spirit intercedes for us with groaning beyond our understanding… and this exalts God to His True place, this is 100% of the light or 100% of ...
