The Image of Redemption Painted in the Stars
If you look at every detail of the zodiac, the entire message of the gospel is written in the stars. There is no mythological figure and no other person in history who all this symbolism could refer to but Christ. It is a permanent memorial of God’s plan to redeem man.

The Names of the Stars Reveal the Gospel
Before the birth of Christ and long before the gospel had unfolded on the stage of history, there were names of stars in Semitic tongues.

Signs and Symbols of the Gospel in the Stars
The symbolism in the constellations of the zodiac and the names of the stars unfold the story of the gospel. They point to Christ: the dual-natured One, born of a virgin, and the One who would bruise the head of the serpent. There are many representations of the serpent because the devil manifests in many forms and tried many times to rid the earth of Christ. But Christ is victorious. The gospel in the stars shows us that God had a plan from the foundations of the world. VF-2474 Watch, Listen and Learn 24x7 at Pastor Melissa Scott teaches from Faith Center in Glendale.

Jude's Doxology: To Him Who is Able to Keep You and Hold You Faultless
Jude concludes his letter with a doxology that is essentially in the form of a prayer in the Greek. He emphasizes that when we are in peril of being shipwrecked in our faith by false teachers, Christ has the power to keep His focus on us as a shepherd watches over a flock, standing us up again firmly before Him when we stumble in our walk. Because Christ has washed us in His blood, He can present us blameless before the Lord, and we will have the privilege of being received with joy into the Lord's presence if we keep on faithing and contending for the faith.

Have Mercy on Those Who Doubt
Contrary to numerous poor translations, Jude is not instructing the saints to go out and try to "win souls". He is telling us to have mercy on those doubters who were already exposed to God's Word, but have listened to the creeps. For those beyond doubting, trying to save them is like rushing into a fire to snatch them out. As we wait on the mercy of the Lord unto eternal life, have mercy on these, hating the filth of their defiled state without hating them.

How to Keep Yourself in the Love of God
In Jude's instructions for how to contend for the faith, we are told to keep ourselves in God's love to us. The natural man cannot do this, thinking that God is always against him. The spiritual person understands we have fallen short of the mark, but God has gifted His forgiveness of sins to us. Our desire to please Him and to know Him better through the rhemas builds up the relationship, which is further cemented by our gratitude towards Him and our attitude towards God and the things of God.

Ignore the Mockers, Keep the Faith
In a unique style, Jude calls to memory the saying that there will be mockers of God in the last days. These mockers have a childish behavior towards the things of God, their focus is egocentric, and they cause divisions in the body of Christ that should be united. In contrast, the faithful minister has a singular focus to bring forth the Word of God, the faithful listeners hear it, and in so doing, both build up the body of Christ. Jude’s admonition is a clarion call to the faithful: ignore the mockers, keep the focus and keep the faith.

They preach a doctrine of no consequences for our actions rather than no ultimate condemnation to those in Christ. We are frail, filthy sinners, but we are saved by grace from God’s wrath because Jesus paid the price for us.

The Gainsaying of Korah
In every generation there are those who creep into the church and engage in the gainsaying of Korah: coming against the Word of God. Korah, a close relative to Moses, was unwilling to face Moses directly. Instead, he spread his disgruntlements to others, convincing men of renown to outnumber and rise up against the man of God. His perspective was completely warped, his path was marked with egregious lies, and he treated the position he was specially chosen to do as menial and trivial. As a warning to the church in every age, Jude highlights Korah last; a stark reminder that God will judge the rebellious.

The Importance of Paul to Christianity

The Importance of Paul to Christianity
Paul, the persecutor of the church, became one if its greatest defenders. A study of his life brings encouragement to the Christian and clarity to those who have doubts. His life gives us an example of enduring faith through adversity. Paul had nothing to gain by preaching the gospel; that makes his life compelling evidence for the doubter. His writing focuses on Christ and His all-sufficiency for the faither; this is in stark contrast to the writing of James.

Take Heed to the Ministry; Fulfill Your Calling

Take Heed to the Ministry; Fulfill Your Calling
Every ministry needs the support of fellow laborers. Paul memorialized the names of some of those who helped him in his ministry; some stayed committed and faithful, and others eventually flaked out. It will take committed people willing to answer the call and step up to the plate for this ministry to carry out the vision for it.

Called to the Opportunity of a Lifetime
Paul understood that he could not do the work of the ministry alone. In Colossians 4, he mentions the names of several fellow laborers who helped him to shoulder the load. God is still calling for fellow laborers today, and He’s given us the opportunity of a lifetime to step up to the plate and respond to the call to spread the good news: the gospel of our salvation through Jesus Christ!

Continue in Prayer: Praying in the Holy Spirit
We pray to the Father by the mechanism of the Holy Spirit, who helps us stay focused, brings order, guides us in all truth, and gives us the burden of what to pray for. It is not natural for us to pray; the Spirit makes intercession for us because we don’t know what to pray for or how to pray. We should reflect on how we pray and what we pray about so we can have good communication with our Father.

Continue in Prayer: Praying to the Father through the Son
We pray to the Father through Christ, who opens the door to God for us as our High Priest. In the Old Testament, God appointed priests for men, but now the institution of the priesthood is done away with. We do not need a human to be our mediator because we have Christ. We have direct access to God through grace. God wants us to take our prayers boldly to His throne and come to Him with prayers from the heart.

Continue in Prayer: Praying to the Father
Christ taught us to address God as our Father when we pray. Through Christ, we have a new relationship with God; we have the kind of access that comes from being His children, partakers in the Sonship of Christ. We are instructed to ask, to seek, and to knock until He gives us what is in His will for us. Our prayers should be direct, sincere, and simple.

Continue in Prayer: The Prayers of the Patriarchs
Following the Apostle Paul’s instruction to “continue in prayer,” we begin our excursion by studying the prayers of the patriarchs through the Pentateuch. Analyzing how they prayed, what they prayed for, and how they responded when God answered their prayers helps us to understand how God deals with us when we pray.
