NEW IN JESUS

-









The word new makes me think of new
life, new baby, new clothes, and new house. Some people  may get images 
of something fresh, beautiful, blemish
free and perfect. 

I love the spring season because 
God let's nature come alive again.
The trees get  new leaves on their branches. Perennial plants get new
blooms and flowers.  The smell of
magnolia and gardenia flowers can 
be intoxicating. 

The Bible uses the word "new" several times.  The Lord created a new world 
for us. The Bible also shows us that He 
has the power to make old things again. This week I'll share scriptures which discuss the relationship between the
Lord and things made new.


LIFE LESSON:

 NEW WORLD FOR THE LORD'S CHILDREN

GENESIS  1:1-2 


1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.  
2 The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.


 GENESIS 2:2-3
2 And on the seventh day God ended His work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done.
3 Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it He rested from all His work which God had created and made.

DEPICTION: AFTER THE FLOOD

 LIFE LESSON: 

 NEW BEGINNING AFTER THE FLOOD

Genesis 8:21-22 

21 And the Lord smelled a soothing aroma. Then the Lord said in His heart, “I will never again curse the ground for man’s sake, although the imagination of man’s heart is evil from his youth; nor will I again destroy every living thing as I have done.
22 “While the earth remains,
Seedtime and harvest,
Cold and heat,
Winter and summer,
And day and night
Shall not cease.”

DEPICTION OF ADAM & EVE WITH THEIR CHILDREN I say thank you to PBS for featuring TV shows  on researching your family tree by Heny Louis Gates, Jr.  The show was called, "Finding Your Roots". I enjoyed this show and and eventually became very good at family tree research. Genealogy was important during Bible days and the Bible book of Genesis gives us several family trees. Today I am showing Adam and Eve’s family tree. GENESIS 2: 18, 22-24 18  And the Lord God said, “ It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him. 22  Then the rib which the Lord God had taken from man He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man. 23  And Adam said: “This is now bone of my bones And flesh of my flesh; She shall be called Woman, Because she was taken out of Man.” 24  Therefore a man shall leave h

DEPICTION OF JONAH RUNNING AWAY FROM THE LORD I was doing Bible study one night and it became clear to me that, Noah, Moses, Jonah, Deborah, Jael, Lydia, Seller of Purple, Rehab, The Twelve Disciples, and Paul were all CALLED by God. The Lord may require  some people to carry out a special task.There will be others that may be required to minister His Word and  travel around the world as a missionary.      This week I'll share scriptures about different men  and women that were called by the Lord. Some of these people were rebellious and did not want to answer His call.  All eventually did the Lord's will. Today, I will share scriptures which discuss that the Lord CALLED a man named Jonah.  He did not want to answer the Lord's call and ran away.  There were consequences to Jonah's actions. The Lord's will did prevail. He did go to Nineveh. JONAH 1: 1-4, 6-9, 12, 15-17 1  Now the word of the Lord came to Jonah the

DEPICTION OF RAHAB OF JERICHO I was doing Bible study one night and it became clear to me that, Noah, Moses, Jonah, Deborah, Jael, Lydia, Seller of Purple, Rehab, The Twelve Disciples, and Paul were all CALLED by God. The Lord may require  some people to carry out a special task.There will be others that may be required to minister His Word and  travel around the world as a missionary.   This week I'll share scriptures about different men  and women that were called by the Lord. Some of these people were rebellious and did not want to answer His call.  All eventually did the Lord's will. Today, I'll share scriptures which show how  a prostitute named  Rahab was used to help  Joshua's spies. Joshua, son of Nun, became  the ruler for the Israelites after Moses died. The Bible also tells us that the Lord is "not a respecter of persons"and accepts all who will respect him. It can be His will to use a harlot (prostitute)
