Jesus in Genesis

This past Sunday, I finished teaching through the book of Genesis in Riga and Ogre and now the recordings are posted here. For those of you who have been reading along, you can listen and leave coments below. Sorry I didn't post them sooner, I will try to post our next series of studies in Exodus within 3 days after the Sunday it was recorded on. I haven't had as much time to keep up with the blogging as much as I inteded to, but God gave me much to say as I prepared for these messages. I hope you are blessed as you listen.

In Genesis we discovered Jesus in many Messianic prophecies, appearances of Christ, types and shadows of Jesus' life, death and resurrection. Our faith in the Word of God was strengthened and we have come to Jesus who is the Eternal the Word, God the Son, the Creator of all things, the second Adam, the Seed of the woman, the Lamb of God, the Ark of our salvation, the Seed of Abraham, Like Isaac obedient to the point of death, Jacob's ladder to Heaven, Lion of the tribe of Judah, the exalted Savior like Joseph, the Beginning and the End, YHVH, El Shadai, Shiloh and Yeshua. Our Jesus has fulfilled gospel preached to Abraham by giving his life for us, blessing every nation by turning us from our sin and justifying us by grace through faith.

Now we look forward to discovering Jesus in Exodus! But don't forget to leave your comments about Jesus in Genesis here.

The send off prayer from CCMB

The send off prayer from our home church from Brenten Powers on Vimeo.

Nate and I have been friends since 2000 when he was teaching the college age group and I was leading worship. He is a very gifted teacher and has always encouraged us in missions, so we are blessed to have him as our new senior pastor at Calvary Chapel Monterey Bay. This video is from January 29, 2009 when the church prayed for us at the end of our furlough and sent us back to Latvia with their blessing.

Pray for Calvary Bible Church

We are sensing that this is going to be a GREAT year with great challenges and joys as He has given us the assignment to preach the gospel and form a new church Latvia. We are going to call it "Golgātas Bībeles draudze" which translates to "Calvary Bible Church". If you pray for us monthly, weekly or daily - we thank God for you! This month I would ask you to be praying for three specific things:

1. For our evangelism team: Praise God for sending more laborers from Riga! Pray for boldness to preach one and one and open air, freedom to keep preaching in the train station, conviction on the hearers hearts.
   
2. For the church: Praise God for drawing people to hear the word. Pray for Brenten to passionately preach Christ as we go through Genesis and Exodus, for the hearers to understand and apply the word, for translators to be faithful.
3. For our family: Praise God for the love, joy and peace at home. Pray for a good babysitter so Brenten and Lena can have a regular time to date.
   

2009 Vision for Bible study

"Until I come, give attention to the public reading of Scripture,
to exhortation and teaching."
-The apostle Paul, 1 Timothy 4:13

To encourage you to get in the habit of reading your Bible and the habit of fellowship (Heb 10:25), we are suggesting the schedule (in the side column) to read through the Old Testament in one year. Pastor Brenten will be preaching Christ each Sunday from the chapters Old Testament that you read during the week, thus connecting your Bible reading to the church's Bible teaching (1Tim4:13).

This week, for example, you should read Genesis 1-12 by Sunday, January 4 so that when we come to church we will review what was written about Christ in the beginning (from the time of Adam until the time of Abraham).

If you would like to print out a daily schedule that follows closely with our OT plan but also includes New Testament in 365 days, click here for the pdf.

As you read, remember to seek Jesus so that you may learn of Him, come to Him that you may have life abundantly and eternally. After you have read it for yourself, you can visit this blog to see pastors comments, and share your comments with the church about how God is revealing Himself to you through His word.

Colossians 3:16 Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you, with all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with thankfulness in your hearts to God.

Luke 24:27 Then beginning with Moses and with all the prophets, He explained to them the things concerning Himself in all the Scriptures... 32 They said to one another, "Were not our hearts burning within us while He was speaking to us on the road, while He was explaining the Scriptures to us?" ... 45 Then He opened their minds to understand the Scriptures.

John 5:39-40 "You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; it is these that testify about Me; 40 and you are unwilling to come to Me so that you may have life."

John 1:45 Philip found Nathanael and said to him, "We have found Him of whom Moses in the Law and also the Prophets wrote--Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph."

2 Timothy 3:16-17 All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; 17 so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work.

Hebrews 10:24-25 And let us consider how to stimulate one another to love and good deeds, 25 not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more as you see the day drawing near.

2 Peter 3:18 Grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory, both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.
