God, the Word, and Man

Brian Hopkins

June 25, 2023

Psalm 19 is one of the greatest theological writings in all the Bible. In this poem, King David did a phenomenal job communicating about how awesome our Creator truly is. His words draw us to a place where all of creation can be better understood. David also informs us, that as much as God uses creation to reveal Himself to us, it is His Word, where even more is revealed. As we'll discover in his closing prayer, King David’s intention was not to be perfect, but rather to stand before God as one who sought purity of heart and blamelessness. His desire was to avoid the things which displeased God. We can work towards this if we trust God and His Word.

C’Mon Man!

Look around you sometime. Have you ever noticed how flawed we really are? I often find myself saying, "C'Mon Man!" more frequently than I should. Unfortunately, there is a devastating trend in the local church. Men are absent. Only 1/10 men who regularly attend church will serve as leaders in the church. This staggering statistic is not God's way. It breaks my heart to say it, but men have become lazy, they have become complacent, they have become fat, happy, and content to sit back and let the women do all the work. It makes me say, “C’Mon Man!” and makes me wonder what it's going to take to wake us up? Doing it God's way is a must and needs to become our priority!

When's the last time, or perhaps the first time, you experienced the Greatness of God or the powerful presence of His Spirit? When's the last time you expected God to hear your prayer, answer your prayer, and then move in your life because of your prayer? God desires to hear from us. He wants His children to speak with Him. Ask Him things. Share their struggles. Share their joy. Jesus teaches us that God moves into action because of our prayers. Will you be bold and audacious enough to speak with your Heavenly Father?

The Arrival

“Πεντηκοστή” (Pentēkostē), the fiftieth day from Easter is a unique and special day of celebration for the Church. This day represents the birth of Christianity and celebrates the permanent arrival of the Holy Spirit into the lives of Jesus' followers. On this day, expressions of joy and worship flow from believers in celebration of the indwelling (fire) presence of the Spirit of God. Pentecost Sunday is a reminder for each of us that God’s Holy Spirit is now available to all who repent of their sins, are baptized, and continue to follow and obey Him.

The Ascended One

One of the travesties found in Christianity is that we tend to overlook the significance of serving an Ascended Savior. It is vitally important for every Christian to develop a better understanding of Jesus' Ascension and what it means for our future. Yes, we serve the one true living God. And it's this same living God that sits next to the Father awaiting His opportunity to come back and call His bride, the Church, into our heavenly home.  It is The Ascended One who saved us, who protects us, who guides us, and guarantees our access to the Father and His Kingdom.

Very few people outside the original nation of Israel find great joy in reading through the genealogical lists found in Scripture. Genealogies are usually cumbersome and seem to serve as place holders in Scripture. Therefore, most people just skip over these lengthy lists of names hoping to get directly to "the good stuff". However, Matthew's list in the beginning of his Gospel account gives us insight into the true background of Jesus, the Messiah. While Jesus is perfect in every way, his past descendants were far from it. God used Matthew to show us, through Jesus' lineage, how powerful His saving grace truly is.
