TWIG - The Word Is Grace is brought to you by The Carpenter's Shop, located at 1201 East Elmore Street in Crawfordsville, Indiana. Our Sabbath services begin at 3:30 every Saturday afternoon. Listen with us as Bible teachers Jim Denman and Tim Terry examine our faith in Messiah Yeshua (Christ Jesus), with a Hebraic perspective. What did Jesus eat? How did He dress? Is the Torah still valid to believers today? Did He really say that there are only two laws that we have to follow now? Did God change His requirements for salvation after the cross? Is the Sabbath on Sunday or Saturday; was it changed? Join us as we seek answers to these questions, with balance and a humble reverence for God's Word.

Sun, 12 July 2009  Paul tells us in Galatians 4:6 that God has "sent forth the Spirit in your hearts, crying Abba Father." We are to have an intimate relationship with our Father in heaven, even to the point of calling Him Abba. If you are unfamiliar with this word, it is the word that small Hebrew speaking children call their fathers - similar to an American child calling his or her father "daddy".We see Yeshua in the garden of Gethsemane crying out, "Abba Father, take this cup from me. Never the less, not My will but Yours be done" (Mark 14:32-42). Though He had an extremely intimate relationship with His Father in heaven, He still was submissive to His father's will. Yeshua sets a template for us to follow here - we are to have an intimate relationship with our Father in heaven, while never forgetting to acknowledge Him as the King of Kings. Yeshua called His Father Abba, yet He was still obedient; even unto death. We have grown comfortable in today's Christian circles with recognizing God as friend and "Daddy" but what about Master and King? He holds both positions. When we recognize Him as Master and King, we are forced to look at the subject of obedience, and that is always a little difficult. Thank goodness we can call Him both! He is our loving Father, and our King - how blessed are those who have put our trust in Him! May the Lord bless you and keep you, Shabbat shalom! Comments[0] |
