Emptiness is not punishment Exo 1:15 And the king of Egypt spake to the Hebrew midwives, of which the name of the one was Shiphrah, and the name of the other Puah: Exo 1:16 And he said, When ye do the office of a midwife to the Hebrew women, and see them upon the stools; if it be a son, then ye shall kill him: but if it be a daughter, then she shall live. Exo 1:17 But the midwives feared God, and...

Hos 7:8 Ephraim mixes himself with the peoples; Ephraim is a cake not turned. Hos 7:9 Strangers devour his strength, and he knows it not; gray hairs are sprinkled upon him, and he knows it not. Hos 7:10 The pride of Israel testifies to his face; yet they do not return to the LORD their God, nor seek him, for all this. Matthew 26:41 41 “Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The...

Circumstances do not dictate our faith, our faith dictates our circumstances.  Are you at your peak with God? Or do you peek at what God is doing and get scared of trying?  Thewayknoxville.com

Thank you to our Elder Wes for an amazing presentation of Isiah 53.  Isaiah 53 describes God's Suffering Servant — a man who is rejected, unattractive, and full of sorrow. People thought he was being punished by God for his own sins, but actually: He was wounded and crushed for our sins , not his own. He took our punishment so we could have peace. By his wounds, we are healed. Like innocent s...

Mat 24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. Hos 5:5 And the pride of Israel doth testify to his face: therefore shall Israel and Ephraim fall in their iniquity; Judah also shall fall with them. God knows them, but they do not know him.  Unbearably proud.   Pride comes from a sense of accomplishment, howeve...

Hosea Chapter 4 and onward the book becomes prophetic and literal. Allegory is useful for illustration not doctrine.      Is Jesus literally returning aging yes. Is hell eternal, yes.  Many other Biblical  books have a theme of repentance, this one is reaping what you sow.  The clear expectation is  Gods justice demands penalty The courtroom setting.  A subpoena from God to the northern Kingdom of...

CAMOUFLAGE CHRISTIANS  WHAT ARE YOU FIGHTING FOR?  WHY EVEN PUT UP THE FIGHT?  WHATS THE POINT?  Most “christians” fight in wars they weren’t drafted to be in Eph 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wrestle- to vibrate, to lay your opponent down pr...

Matthew 20:16“So the last will be first, and the first last. For many are called, but few chosen.” God does not reward as we always expect. God Is not limited to our timeline. He is the influence of history before it happens You have been given a pre-eminent place with Jesus!  God will give you second chances, a second wind,  Not to be confused with being second best, or a second guess Because his...

Num 21:4 And they journeyed from mount Hor by the way of the Red sea, to compass the land of Edom: and the soul of the people was much discouraged because of the way. Num 21:5 And the people spake against God, and against Moses, Wherefore have ye brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? for there is no bread, neither is there any water; and our soul loatheth this light bread. Num 21:6...

Wes delivers a wonderful sermon on Luke 7:36 36One of the Pharisees asked him to eat with him, and he went into the Pharisee's house and reclined at the table. 37And behold, a woman of the city, who was a sinner, when she learned that he was reclining at table in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster flask of ointment, 38and standing behind him at his feet, weeping, she began to wet...
