I Do Not Change!
I Do Not Change!!! Part 10 Malachi 3:6-7 The immutability of God means that He is unchanging in His being, perfections, purposes, and promises, yet God does act and feel emotions, and he acts and feels differently in His response to certain situations. Our text declares that this immutability involves: 1. God's character Which involves His: * Perfection * Personhood * Promises * Plans 2. God's covenant The covenant with Jacob proved: * His faithfulness * Israel's faithlessness 3. His Compassion This compassion allows for: * God's redemption of humanity * Our return to God

Covenant - New Part 2
Radical differences between Old and New Covenant. Moses asked God who am I? God does not exist to make us feel better. God says he will be with us no matter what our situation. Will you commit yourself to God no matter what he asks of you?

What Went Wrong With This World?
Journey of Beginnings What Went Wrong With This World? Genesis 6-8 Three world conditions that caused God to say, I’ve had enough!” 1. Every intent of the thoughts of their hearts was only evil all the time. (verse 5) 2. The earth was full of violence. (verse 11) 3. All the people on earth had corrupted their ways. (verse 12) Noah, a real person of faith steps up to the plate! (chapter 7&8) 1. He took action on the message he received from God. 2. His faith compelled him to complete a most difficult task. 3. Through his faith he and his immediate family were saved. The coming of Jesus will be like the days of Noah. (Matthew 24:37,38; Luke 17:26,27) 1, People will be eating and drinking, marrying and being given in marriage, buying and selling, planting and building. 2. The vast population did not wake up to realize what was happening until the flood came and destroyed them all. God makes a covenant that effects you. 1. Never again will I send a flood that destroys everything (verse 8: 21,22; 9:13) 2. Step out of the Ark into the new life God offers you!

Importance of Baptism
Throughout history, there has always been a concrete act involved in sealing contracts, treaties, or any other important transaction. This has also been true in covenants made between God and men. In the Old Testament, circumcision was required to enter the Abrahamic Covenant. In the New Testament, we enter into covenant with God through faith in Christ, but there is still a concrete act involved. Key Verses: Ruth 4:1-12, Gen 17:5-12, Matt 28:18, Mark 16:15-16, Acts 2:37-38, Acts 8:34-39, Matt 3:13

The Superior Christ (Romans 5:15-17)
From Adam we have inherited sin, guilt, condemnation, and death. But in Christ and by his death we receive so much more than mere restoration of these things. We receive not only forgiveness, but justification, the very righteousness of Christ. And we receive not only life, but eternal life, victorious and reigning life.

The Death of Uzzah
In Israel there was no greater vessel than the Ark of the Covenant. In 2 Samuel 6 a man name Uzzah reaches out his hand to catch the falling Ark, and is killed on the spot. In this message we will look at God's Fury against so called little sins, and the importance of regular individual confession of sin.

2 Samuel 21:1-14 - The Cost of Covenant Breaking
Chapter 21 starts a new section (21-24) in closing the book of 2 Samuel. Some thing think that this secion is an intrusion to our the them of transition (David to Soloman). But I believe that the author is making a conclding point on how God's kingdom is to be goverend. In our passage in 2 Samuel 21, David's kingdom is experiencing a famine which causes David to pray to find out its cause. God says it is because the bloodguilt on Saul because he put the Gibeonites (who had made a Covenant with Israel in the name of the Lord (see Joshuah 9)) to death. David Doesn't pray for a solution but seeks atonement with the Gibeonites who want 7 men to pay with their lives. The difference between David and Saul is show by David loyality to the covenant he made with Jonathan to protect Mephibosheth (Jonathan's son). it ends with showing Rispah love for her son in protecting the bodyas and David giving Saul, Jonathan and the other that were hanged to bury them. We learn how misplaced zeal can cause us not to rely on our covenant with God and his mercy.

Gideon: Mighty man of valor
Summary: Gideon was a man called of God to do great things. He thought so little of himself, and was so filled with doubt and unbelief, but God was patient with him. He was still them man for the job, in spite of his weaknesses. God had a big plan, that he accomplished through a small group of men. (their army went from 22,000 to 300) God had a specific plan that they had to follow in order to be victorious. Ultimately, because he obeyed the plan God gave him, he became what God knew he was all along, the “Mighty Man of Valor”. If we will obey God like Gideon did, even when the plan sounds crazy, we will become what God desires and sees us as already.

2 Samuel 9 - Covenant Kindness
It is easy to be two-faced in our socieity today. It is easy to forget (on purpose) promices that are made because our circumstances change and it is to our advantage to forget promices when we think there are no bad consequences. This is the position David was in, but David made sure that he fulfilled his coveant with Jonathan by showing kindness to Mephibosheth. Normally kings and leaders would eleminate any leaders or family of a former rival kingdom, and thus Mephibosheth had something to fear in coming into King David's presence. But David in the all important verse 7 shows a coveant kingdness that not only protects Mephibosheth's live but provides for him in land and food and gives a great position (eating at the kings table). today We understand from David's covenant with Jonathan that God's covenant with us provides benefits in we can have security in living, abundance in living, and dependence in living. We are totally dependent on the covenant Kindness of God in providing our security in salvation from sin. Since we are sinners we are actually an enemy of God and lame in our spiritual ability to save ourselves. God saves those like Mephibosheth that do not rely on their own reasources but trust in God's covenant with us.

Covenant Keepers
As with man made covenants, God's covenants can not be added to or taken away from orelse he proves himself to be untrustworthy, insincere, double-tongued and a liar. When God made his covenant with Abraham he could not turn around and annul that promise with future revelation like the Law of Moses! We too, like our God, need to learn to be covenant keepers!

The New Covenant
Jeremiah wasn't just a bullfrog, he was the weeping prophet of God. Who was this man and why was he weeping? What impact did he have when he was alive? How does this apply today? A Biblical covenant is a binding relationship that God promises to bless and His people promise to obey.

I Did This For You
"Yom Kippur" - the Day of Atonement - was the pinnacle of the Jewish festival year. While god-fearing Jews were invited to attend many other sacred events, none could compare with this day! On this day, the sins of the nation were cleared away! The imagery, the sights, sounds, & smells of that day must have formed lasting images in the minds of those who attended. Such pomp & circumstance! But for all it’s ceremony - the sacrifices made that day could never fully pay the penalty or satisfy the debt of sin they had incurred. And next year, they would be back here again. Until Jesus entered... Key Passage: Hebrews 9:11-10:18
