Paul – You Are Mighty And Strong To Save Jon 1 Samuel 1:4-11,20 4On the day when Elkanah sacrificed, he would give portions to Peninnah his wife and to all her sons and daughters. 5But to Hannah he gave a double portion, because he loved her, though the LORD had closed her womb. 6And her rival used to provoke her grievously to irritate her, because the LORD had closed her womb. 7So it went on year by year. As often as she went up to the house of the LORD, she used to provoke her. Therefore Hannah wept and would not eat. 8And Elkanah, her husband, said to her, “Hannah, why do you weep? And why do you not eat? And why is your heart sad? Am I not more to you than ten sons?” 9After they had eaten and drunk in Shiloh, Hannah rose. Now Eli the priest was … Continue reading →

Paul ?? Jon Exodus 33 is my favorite chapter, its where the name of this church comes from v. 15-23 Exodus 33 The Command to Leave Sinai 1The LORD said to Moses, “Depart; go up from here, you(A) and the people whom you have brought up out of the land of Egypt, to the land of which I swore to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, saying, ‘To(B) your offspring I will give it.’ 2I will send an(C) angel before you,(D) and I will drive out the Canaanites, the Amorites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites. 3(E) Go up to a land flowing with milk and honey;(F) but I will not go up among you,(G) lest I consume you on the way, for you are a(H) stiff-necked people.” 4When the people heard this disastrous word, they(I) mourned, and(J) no one put on his ornaments. 5For the LORD had said … Continue reading →

Paul mashup(; ) You won’t relent until you have it all…my heart is yours Jon Hebrews 10 was about … Exhort one another as long as it’s called today Hebrews 11 1 Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. 2 For by it the people of old received their commendation. 3 By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible. 4 By faith Abel offered to God a more acceptable sacrifice than Cain, through which he was commended as righteous, God commending him by accepting his gifts. And through his faith, though he died, he still speaks. 5 By faith Enoch was taken up so that he should not see death, and he was not found, because God had taken him. Now before … Continue reading →

Paul (Saved by Your Mercy), chaser of Jon Free To Love / Galatians 5:1-18 Salvation = Freedom This letter was written to people saved out of paganism and started following Jesus Some pagan leaders were converted and started introducing confusing teachings 1 For freedom Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not be subject again to the yoke of slavery. 2 Listen!
