It’s Biblical – 20th November 2021

Posted in It's Biblical

Lesson Themes
The main themes of this study are the following:

- The great controversy. Since the beginning of history, the Bible is about a cosmic struggle between God, with His law of light and life and Satan, with his way of death and darkness.

- The obligation to choose. As were Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, Israel is challenged by God to make a choice between two ways.

The paradox is that if the people choose the wrong way, they will lose their freedom and really not be able to choose at all.

Life is the issue at stake.

Panel members: Lorraine McDonald, Clive Ferguson, Mark Larman, Beverley Brown

It’s Biblical – 6th November 2021

Posted in It's Biblical

According to Moses the law of God was what made Israel a great nation.

The lesson this week will reflect on this mystery and will revolve around
three main themes:
•The law is perfect. There is nothing to add and nothing to take away.
•The law is wise. The vibrant and intelligent life of the keeper of the
law testifies to the Creator.
•The law is divine. Unless Israel “cleaves” to God, it will not benefit
from that law and will not be “a great nation.”

Bible Texts:
Deut. 4:1–8 Deut. 4:32–35 Deut. 12:32 Matt. 5:13–16 Matt. 15:1–9.

It’s Biblical – 30th October 2021

Posted in It's Biblical

The story of God rewriting His law on new tables is a story of God’s grace and patient love for Israel. In ancient times, when a covenant was broken, the renewal of the covenant involved the preparation of new treaty documents. It is against the backdrop of the shameful event of
Horeb that Moses urges Israel to renew its covenant and to prepare a new oath of allegiance in which God’s requirement for His people is specified. These verses bring together various themes around the principle of love, namely, love for the Lord (the first commandment), love as a
response to God’s love and forgiveness, love for one’s neighbor, and more specifically love for the stranger (the second commandment), because God loved him or her.

It’s Biblical – 23rd October 2021

Posted in It's Biblical

I n the Jewish religion, one of the most important prayers is taken from Deuteronomy 6. It is known as “the Shema,” based on the first Hebrew word of the prayer, from the root, shama’, which means “to listen,” or even “to obey”—a word that appears again and again, not just in Deuteronomy but all through the Old Testament.

The first line of the Shema reads like this:

Shema Yisrael Adonai Elohenu Adonai echad.

It means: “ ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one!’ ” (Deut. 6:4, NKJV). Many times when Jews pray it, they cover their eyes, the idea being to let nothing distract them from thinking about God. This first line of the Shema is deemed an affirmation of the monotheistic nature of Adonai Elohenu, “the Lord our God,” and Israel’s loyalty to Him alone and to no other “god.” In fact, it also could be read as “the Lord is our God.”

This one line is part of the first speech that Moses gave to the children of Israel as they were about to enter the Promised Land. What follows that opening line, however, is a powerful expression of truth that remains as crucial now as it was then.

It’s Biblical – 16th October 2021

Posted in It's Biblical

The structure of the book of Deuteronomy is patterned after the structure of the ancient covenant
treaties. This is a clear indication that the main theological intention of Moses’ last lesson is about God’s covenant with His people. Because God is eternal, the primary quality of His covenant is that it is “an everlasting covenant” (Gen. 17:7). Our study of the “covenant” helps us to understand God’s relationship with His people. Lesson Themes:
The God of life. The Lord established His covenant with Israel, not because of them and who they were, but because of Himself and who He is—the God of life.
The chosen people. Because of God’s faithfulness to the fathers, He has chosen Israel to be His covenant people.
A holy people. Called by the God of life to be the covenant people, they are to be a holy people, as well.

It’s Biblical – 18th September 2021

Posted in It's Biblical

One of the most interesting stories in Scripture has to be that of Jonah. Here he was, a prophet of God, someone called of God, and yet—what? He ran away from God’s call. Then, after being
persuaded in a dramatic way to change his mind and obey the Lord, he did so—but then only to do what? To complain that the people to whom he was called to witness actually repented and were spared the destruction that, otherwise, would have been theirs!

What an example of someone not at rest, not at peace—even to the point where he cried out, “ ‘Therefore now, O Lord, please take my life from me, for it is better for me to die than to live!’ ” (Jon. 4:3, NKJV). Let’s look at Jonah and what we can learn from his restlessness and lack of peace.

the bible has many illustrations, models, examples from which we are supposed to learn from. Do we recognise ourselves in the failures of past generations? are we codemned to repeat the errors of the past? What speicif lessons can learn from the experiences of both the children of Israel and the early church? What is the 'rest' that Hebrews speaks of, that is still available?

It’s Biblical – 4th September 2021

Posted in It's Biblical

The sabbath commandment begins with the word “remember.” None of the other commandments begin that way. It is a perpetual reminder to the entire world of God’s creative authority. Wherever we are in the world, whether we recognize it or not, the Sabbath comes to all humanity offering its blessings each seventh day.
Throughout Scripture the Sabbath reminds us that Christ made us, redeemed us, delivers us, re-creates us, and is coming again for us. Our study this week underscores the fact that in God’s eternal plan, Sabbath is a day of blessing, delight, worship, and service. Especially on Sabbath, as we linger in His presence, participate in corporate worship, and seek Him anew, He re-creates us in His image.

It’s Biblical – The Rhythms of Rest

Posted in It's Biblical

Who can imagine what the acts of Creation—light amid darkness, oceans brimming with life, birds suddenly taking flight—must have been like? And the supernatural creation of Adam and Eve? We can’t even begin to grasp how God did it.

But then, after all of this active creating, God turned His attention to something else. At first glance, it did not seem as spectacular as leaping whales or dazzling feather displays. God simply made a day, the seventh day, and then He made it special. Even before humanity would dash off to our self-imposed stressful lives, God set a marker as a living memory aid. God wanted this day to be a time for us to stop and deliberately enjoy life—a day to be and not do, to celebrate the gift of grass; air; wildlife; water; people; and, most of all, the Creator of every good gift.

This invitation would continue even after the first couple was exiled from Eden. God wanted to make sure that the invitation could stand the test of time, and so, right from the beginning, He knit it into the very fabric of time itself. During this week, we will study God’s wonderful invitation to enter into a dynamic rest, again and again, with every seventh day.
