DECLARATION
For
[we are not] ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of
God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and
also to the Greek. For therein is the righteousness of God revealed
from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
{ Rom 1:16-17 KJV}
SABBATH MEDITATIONS
"TOLDOT" (Generations)
Genesis 25:19-28:9; Malachi 1:1-2:7; Romans 9:6-29
Now these are the genealogies of Isaac, Abraham’s son. Abraham fathered Isaac. Isaac was 40 years old when he took for himself Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Aramean from Paddan-aram, the sister of Laban the Aramean, to be his wife. Isaac prayed to Adonai on behalf of his wife because she was barren. Adonai answered his plea and his wife Rebekah became pregnant. (Gen 25:19-21 TLV)
SUNDAY MESSAGE
"GOD IS FAITHFUL"

OPENING PRAYER
Our Father in Heaven, thank You for gathering all of us together as a congregation to fellowship and worship Your Holy Name. Grant us the favor of open ears, hearts and souls as we receive Your Word from on high in Jesus, AMEN.
MESSAGE
When 66 year old Preacher and Theologian Arthur Pink went home to the Lord, {1886-1952}, he left an indelible and remarkable resource through his in depth survey of the ATTRIBUTES OF GOD. Of these many unchangeable ATTRIBUTES, today we are focused on the FAITHFULNESS of GOD, faithful in all things, at all times!
Instead of approaching the topic of FAITHFULNESS by entering the FRONT DOOR, Pastor Pink unlocks the back door to this specific survey for a revealing and quite remarkable revelation of what being FAITHFUL means by observing the tragedy of the UNFAITHFUL!
If you find yourself confused by this approach, the confusion will quickly evaporate.
Pink writes; "UNFAITHFULNESS IS ONE OF THE MOST OUTSTANDING sins of these evil days." In the business world, a man’s word is, with exceedingly rare exceptions, no longer his bond. In the social world, marital infidelity abounds on every hand, the sacred bonds of wedlock being broken with as little regard as the discarding of an old T-Shirt."
"In the ecclesiastical realm, thousands who have solemnly entered a covenant, and make no [attempt] to attack and deny UNFAITHFULNESS. Nor can reader or writer or LISTENER claim complete immunity from this fearful sin. In how many ways have we been unfaithful to Christ, and to the light and privileges which God has entrusted to us?"
Arthur Pink then provides a new focal point; "How refreshing, then, how unspeakably blessed, to lift our eyes above this scene of ruin, and behold One who is faithful—faithful in all things, faithful at all times."
Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations; (Deu 7:9 KJV)
This quality is essential to His being; without it He would not be God. According to Arthur Pink, For God to be unfaithful would be to act contrary to His nature, which [is] impossible: “If we believe not, yet He abideth faithful; therefore He cannot deny Himself” (II Tim 2:13).
Faithfulness is just one of the glorious perfections of His being. He is, as it were, clothed with it: “O LORD God of hosts, who is a strong LORD like
unto Thee? or to Thy faithfulness round about Thee?” (Psa 89:8 KJV).
So too when God became incarnate it was said, “Righteousness shall be the belt of His loins, And faithfulness the belt of His waist. (Isa 11:5 Nasb)
What a word is that in Psalm 36:5, “Thy mercy, O LORD, is in the heavens; and Thy faithfulness reacheth unto the clouds.”
Far above all finite comprehension is the unchanging faithfulness of God. Everything about God is great, vast, incomparable. He never forgets, never fails, never falters, never forfeits His word. To every declaration of promise or prophecy the Lord has exactly adhered, every engagement of covenant or threatening He will make good, for “God is not a man, that He should lie; neither the son of man, that He should repent: [has] He said, and shall He not do it? or [has] He spoken, and shall He not make it good?” (Num 23:19). Therefore does the believer exclaim, “His compassions fail not, they are new every morning: great is Thy faithfulness” (Lam 3:22,23 KJV).
SUMMARY
THE ATTRIBUTES OF GOD
All of the ATTRIBUTES of our Creator may be impossible to tally while we wear this fleshly uniform on earth. Learned Men and Theologians have long tossed around numbers ranging from "The BIG TEN ATTRIBUTES", and others saying 15 or twenty is more correct.
I find myself in the camp of those who recognizes that "WE JUST DO NOT KNOW!" And, we likely will not have the complete list until that day we arrive with open spiritual eyes in the KINGDOM and we see as GOD sees, as HE truly is!
The Solitariness of God, The Decrees of God, The Knowledge of God,
The Foreknowledge of God, The Supremacy of God,
The Sovereignty of God, The Immutability of God, The Holiness of God,
The Power of God, The Faithfulness of God, The Goodness of God,
The Patience of God, The Grace of God, The Mercy of God,
The Lovingkindness of God, The Love of God, The Love of God to Us,
The Wrath of God, The Contemplation of God.
God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of His Son, Jesus the Christ our Lord. (1Co 1:9 NKJV)
For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in your heart and soul through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height— to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to [HIS] power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.
(Eph 3:14-21 NKJV)
(1Jn 4:15 NKJV)- Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.
(1Jn 3:24 NKJV)- Now he who keeps His commandments abides in Him, and He in him. And by this we know that He abides in us, by the Spirit whom He has given us.
CLOSING PRAYER
Lord, it seems that the more we learn about You, the more we thirst for even more revelation. Guide us as we follow in the foot steps of Your precious Son. Grant us wisdom, discernment, spiritual awareness and patience in our quest. May our faith, behavior, and Your Words open the eyes and ears of others reflecting the Holy Spirit in witness to Your Glory --in Jesus, AMEN
[THE LORD'S SUPPER]
[Sing a song to the Lord, lift up your voices]
DOXOLOGY
Praise God, from Whom all blessings flow;
Praise Him, all creatures here below;
Praise Him above, Ye heav'n-ly host;
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost
AMEN
THE CALL
If you have never invited Jesus to be your Lord and savior, or, if you have in the past yet remain unsure of salvation and forgiveness of sin, Please pray with me now: Lord Jesus I need to fill a hole in my life that follows me where ever I go. I am a long-time Sinner and I CONFESS and REPENT of all my sins. I believe that You JESUS are the Lord, that you were hung on a cross and died. I believe that you were raised back to life by God, Your Father, ascended into heaven and presently sit at the right hand of The Almighty. Please come into me, clean me, take me and make me Yours and let me serve from this day forward and forever, Thank-You Jesus, AMEN
If you sincerely prayed with me, your salvation has been assured. {Rom 10:9 KJV} -That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
Waste no time in finding like minded folks, to fellowship with, who also know the lord Jesus. Be introduced to a church that preaches the BIBLE. Email me. Begin the journey that you will never tire of; the discovery of the Majesty, Beauty and loving Power of Jesus the Christ. Welcome to the family!
