Palabras de Afirmación para el Año Nuevo
==========

‭‭Isaías‬ ‭43‬:‭1‬-‭5‬‬
Ahora, así dice Jehová, Creador tuyo, oh Jacob, y Formador tuyo, oh Israel: No temas, porque yo te redimí; te puse nombre, mío eres tú. Cuando pases por las aguas, yo estaré contigo; y si por los ríos, no te anegarán. Cuando pases por el fuego, no te quemarás, ni la llama arderá en ti. Porque yo Jehová, Dios tuyo, el Santo de Israel, soy tu Salvador; a Egipto he dado por tu rescate, a Etiopía y a Seba por ti. Porque a mis ojos fuiste de gran estima, fuiste honorable, y yo te amé; daré, pues, hombres por ti, y naciones por tu vida. No temas, porque yo estoy contigo; del oriente traeré tu generación, y del occidente te recogeré.

1. Enfrentaré todo lo que viene sin temor.
2. No permitiré que el desánimo invada mi vida.
3. Mantendré una actitud de aprendizaje.
4. Decidiré que la Palabra del Señor sea la guía para todas las decisiones de mi vida.

‭‭Proverbios‬ ‭31‬:‭25‬-‭31‬‬
Fuerza y honor son su vestidura; Y se ríe de lo por venir. Abre su boca con sabiduría, Y la ley de clemencia está en su lengua. Considera los caminos de su casa, Y no come el pan de balde. Se levantan sus hijos y la llaman bienaventurada; Y su marido también la alaba: Muchas mujeres hicieron el bien; Mas tú sobrepasas a todas. Engañosa es la gracia, y vana la hermosura; La mujer que teme a Jehová, esa será alabada. Dadle del fruto de sus manos, Y alábenla en las puertas sus hechos.

‭‭Salmos‬ ‭11‬:‭1‬-‭4‬‬
En Jehová he confiado; ¿Cómo decís a mi alma, Que escape al monte cual ave? Porque he aquí, los malos tienden el arco, Disponen sus saetas sobre la cuerda, Para asaetear en oculto a los rectos de corazón. Si fueren destruidos los fundamentos, ¿Qué ha de hacer el justo? Jehová está en su santo templo; Jehová tiene en el cielo su trono; Sus ojos ven, sus párpados examinan a los hijos de los hombres.

‭‭2 Corintios‬ ‭4‬:‭8‬-‭9‬‬
que estamos atribulados en todo, mas no angustiados; en apuros, mas no desesperados; perseguidos, mas no desamparados; derribados, pero no destruidos;

‭‭Salmos‬ ‭34‬:‭17‬-‭19‬‬
Claman los justos, y Jehová oye, Y los libra de todas sus angustias. Cercano está Jehová a los quebrantados de corazón; Y salva a los contritos de espíritu. Muchas son las aflicciones del justo, Pero de todas ellas le librará Jehová.

‭‭Efesios‬ ‭4‬:‭22‬-‭32‬‬
En cuanto a la pasada manera de vivir, despojaos del viejo hombre, que está viciado conforme a los deseos engañosos, y renovaos en el espíritu de vuestra mente, y vestíos del nuevo hombre, creado según Dios en la justicia y santidad de la verdad. Por lo cual, desechando la mentira, hablad verdad cada uno con su prójimo; porque somos miembros los unos de los otros. Airaos, pero no pequéis; no se ponga el sol sobre vuestro enojo, ni deis lugar al diablo. El que hurtaba, no hurte más, sino trabaje, haciendo con sus manos lo que es bueno, para que tenga qué compartir con el que padece necesidad. Ninguna palabra corrompida salga de vuestra boca, sino la que sea buena para la necesaria edificación, a fin de dar gracia a los oyentes. Y no contristéis al Espíritu Santo de Dios, con el cual fuisteis sellados para el día de la redención. Quítense de vosotros toda amargura, enojo, ira, gritería y maledicencia, y toda malicia. Antes sed benignos unos con otros, misericordiosos, perdonándoos unos a otros, como Dios también os perdonó a vosotros en Cristo.

‭‭Deuteronomio‬ ‭28‬:‭1‬-‭14‬‬
Acontecerá que si oyeres atentamente la voz de Jehová tu Dios, para guardar y poner por obra todos sus mandamientos que yo te prescribo hoy, también Jehová tu Dios te exaltará sobre todas las naciones de la tierra. Y vendrán sobre ti todas estas bendiciones, y te alcanzarán, si oyeres la voz de Jehová tu Dios. Bendito serás tú en la ciudad, y bendito tú en el campo. Bendito el fruto de tu vientre, el fruto de tu tierra, el fruto de tus bestias, la cría de tus vacas y los rebaños de tus ovejas. Benditas serán tu canasta y tu artesa de amasar. Bendito serás en tu entrar, y bendito en tu salir. Jehová derrotará a tus enemigos que se levantaren contra ti; por un camino saldrán contra ti, y por siete caminos huirán de delante de ti. Jehová te enviará su bendición sobre tus graneros, y sobre todo aquello en que pusieres tu mano; y te bendecirá en la tierra que Jehová tu Dios te da. Te confirmará Jehová por pueblo santo suyo, como te lo ha jurado, cuando guardares los mandamientos de Jehová tu Dios, y anduvieres en sus caminos. Y verán todos los pueblos de la tierra que el nombre de Jehová es invocado sobre ti, y te temerán. Y te hará Jehová sobreabundar en bienes, en el fruto de tu vientre, en el fruto de tu bestia, y en el fruto de tu tierra, en el país que Jehová juró a tus padres que te había de dar. Te abrirá Jehová su buen tesoro, el cielo, para enviar la lluvia a tu tierra en su tiempo, y para bendecir toda obra de tus manos. Y prestarás a muchas naciones, y tú no pedirás prestado. Te pondrá Jehová por cabeza, y no por cola; y estarás encima solamente, y no estarás debajo, si obedecieres los mandamientos de Jehová tu Dios, que yo te ordeno hoy, para que los guardes y cumplas, y si no te apartares de todas las palabras que yo te mando hoy, ni a diestra ni a siniestra, para ir tras dioses ajenos y servirles.

TAKE A MULLIGAN!

Forgive Yourself

Philippians 3:13-14
“Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.”

KEEP YOUR HEAD DOWN!

Focus on God's Word

It keeps a good connection:

Psalm 119:130
“The opening of Your word gives light, imparting understanding to the simple.”

It breaks a bad habit:

Psalm 119:11
I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you.

Romans 6:12,14
“do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires. For sin shall not be your master”

GRANT A "GIMME!"

Forgive Somebody Else

Colossians 3:13
“Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.”

“A Faithful God”
1 Kings 19:14-18

‭‭1 Kings‬ ‭19‬:‭14‬-‭18‬‬
“I have been very zealous for the Lord God of Armies,” he replied, “but the Israelites have abandoned your covenant, torn down your altars, and killed your prophets with the sword. I alone am left, and they’re looking for me to take my life.” Then the Lord said to him, “Go and return by the way you came to the Wilderness of Damascus. When you arrive, you are to anoint Hazael as king over Aram. You are to anoint Jehu son of Nimshi as king over Israel and Elisha son of Shaphat from Abel-meholah as prophet in your place. Then Jehu will put to death whoever escapes the sword of Hazael, and Elisha will put to death whoever escapes the sword of Jehu. But I will leave seven thousand in Israel  — every knee that has not bowed to Baal and every mouth that has not kissed him.”

Elijah’s Past

- Announces a Famine ( 1 Kings 17)

- Elijah and the Widow

- Raised the Widow’s Son to Life

- Elijah Opposes Ahab and Baal ( 1 Kings 18)

Elijah’s Fear

‭‭1 Kings‬ ‭19‬:‭14‬‬
“I have been very zealous for the Lord God of Armies,” he replied, “but the Israelites have abandoned your covenant, torn down your altars, and killed your prophets with the sword. I alone am left, and they’re looking for me to take my life.”

God’s Faithfulness

‭‭1 Kings‬ ‭19‬:‭18‬‬
But I will leave seven thousand in Israel  — every knee that has not bowed to Baal and every mouth that has not kissed him.”

‭‭John‬ ‭3‬:‭16‬-‭17‬‬
For God loved the world in this way: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.

‭‭Galatians‬ ‭4‬:‭4‬-‭5‬‬
When the time came to completion, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons.

‭‭Romans‬ ‭5‬:‭8‬‬
But God proves his own love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

‭‭Genesis‬ ‭1‬:‭27‬‬
So God created man in his own image; he created him in the image of God; he created them male and female.

‭‭Revelation‬ ‭3‬:‭20‬‬
See! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me.

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭29‬:‭2‬‬
Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name; worship the Lord in the splendor of his holiness.

‭‭John‬ ‭14‬:‭3‬‬
If I go away and prepare a place for you, I will come again and take you to myself, so that where I am you may be also.

‭‭Luke‬ ‭2‬:‭10‬-‭12‬‬
But the angel said to them, “Don’t be afraid, for look, I proclaim to you good news of great joy that will be for all the people: Today in the city of David a Savior was born for you, who is the Messiah, the Lord. This will be the sign for you: You will find a baby wrapped tightly in cloth and lying in a manger.”

Mary's Faith Journey
Luke 1:26-38

1. An unlikely messenger


2. An unconceivable message

‭‭Luke‬ ‭1‬:‭31‬-‭33‬‬
And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. And the Lord God will give to him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.”

‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭9‬:‭6‬-‭7‬‬
For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and of peace there will be no end, on the throne of David and over his kingdom, to establish it and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from this time forth and forevermore. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will do this.

‭‭Luke‬ ‭1‬:‭38‬‬
And Mary said, “Behold, I am the servant of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word.” And the angel departed from her.

‭‭Luke‬ ‭1‬:‭41‬-‭45‬‬
And when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, the baby leaped in her womb. And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit, and she exclaimed with a loud cry, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb! And why is this granted to me that the mother of my Lord should come to me? For behold, when the sound of your greeting came to my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy. And blessed is she who believed that there would be a fulfillment of what was spoken to her from the Lord.”

3. An overwhelming response to grace

‭‭Luke‬ ‭1‬:‭46‬-‭50‬‬
And Mary said, “My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, for he has looked on the humble estate of his servant. For behold, from now on all generations will call me blessed; for he who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is his name. And his mercy is for those who fear him from generation to generation.

‭‭S. Mateo‬ ‭1‬:‭16‬‬
y Jacob engendró a José, marido de María, de la cual nació Jesús, llamado el Cristo.

‭‭S. Lucas‬ ‭2‬:‭1‬-‭7‬‬
Aconteció en aquellos días, que se promulgó un edicto de parte de Augusto César, que todo el mundo fuese empadronado. Este primer censo se hizo siendo Cirenio gobernador de Siria. E iban todos para ser empadronados, cada uno a su ciudad. Y José subió de Galilea, de la ciudad de Nazaret, a Judea, a la ciudad de David, que se llama Belén, por cuanto era de la casa y familia de David; para ser empadronado con María su mujer, desposada con él, la cual estaba encinta. Y aconteció que estando ellos allí, se cumplieron los días de su alumbramiento. Y dio a luz a su hijo primogénito, y lo envolvió en pañales, y lo acostó en un pesebre, porque no había lugar para ellos en el mesón.

1.) María escuchó a Dios.
2.) María creyó a Dios.
3.) María obedeció a Dios.

Boaz said to the elders and all the people, “You are witnesses today that I am buying from Naomi everything that belonged to Elimelech, Chilion, and Mahlon. I have also acquired Ruth the Moabitess, Mahlon’s widow, as my wife, to perpetuate the deceased man’s name on his property, so that his name will not disappear among his relatives or from the gate of his hometown. You are witnesses today.” All the people who were at the city gate, including the elders, said, “We are witnesses. May the Lord make the woman who is entering your house like Rachel and Leah, who together built the house of Israel. May you be powerful in Ephrathah and your name well known in Bethlehem. May your house become like the house of Perez, the son Tamar bore to Judah, because of the offspring the Lord will give you by this young woman.” Boaz took Ruth and she became his wife. He slept with her, and the Lord granted conception to her, and she gave birth to a son. The women said to Naomi, “Blessed be the Lord, who has not left you without a family redeemer today. May his name become well known in Israel. He will renew your life and sustain you in your old age. Indeed, your daughter-in-law, who loves you and is better to you than seven sons, has given birth to him.” Naomi took the child, placed him on her lap, and became a mother to him. The neighbor women said, “A son has been born to Naomi,” and they named him Obed. He was the father of Jesse, the father of David.

From Ruin to Redemption
Ruth 1-5

1. Ruin

‭‭Ruth‬ ‭1‬:‭8‬-‭10‬‬
But Naomi said to her two daughters-in-law, “Go, return each of you to her mother’s house. May the Lord deal kindly with you, as you have dealt with the dead and with me. The Lord grant that you may find rest, each of you in the house of her husband!” Then she kissed them, and they lifted up their voices and wept. And they said to her, “No, we will return with you to your people.”

‭‭Ruth‬ ‭1‬:‭16‬-‭18‬‬
But Ruth said, “Do not urge me to leave you or to return from following you. For where you go I will go, and where you lodge I will lodge. Your people shall be my people, and your God my God. Where you die I will die, and there will I be buried. May the Lord do so to me and more also if anything but death parts me from you.” And when Naomi saw that she was determined to go with her, she said no more.

2. Relatives

‭‭Ruth‬ ‭2‬:‭1‬‬
Now Naomi had a relative of her husband’s, a worthy man of the clan of Elimelech, whose name was Boaz.

‭‭Ruth‬ ‭2‬:‭2‬-‭3‬‬
And Ruth the Moabite said to Naomi, “Let me go to the field and glean among the ears of grain after him in whose sight I shall find favor.” And she said to her, “Go, my daughter.” So she set out and went and gleaned in the field after the reapers, and she happened to come to the part of the field belonging to Boaz, who was of the clan of Elimelech.

‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭16‬:‭33‬‬
The lot is cast into the lap, but its every decision is from the Lord.

3. Redemption

‭‭Ruth‬ ‭4‬:‭14‬-‭15‬‬
Then the women said to Naomi, “Blessed be the Lord, who has not left you this day without a redeemer, and may his name be renowned in Israel! He shall be to you a restorer of life and a nourisher of your old age, for your daughter-in-law who loves you, who is more to you than seven sons, has given birth to him.”

‭‭Ruth‬ ‭4‬:‭18‬-‭21‬‬
Now these are the generations of Perez: Perez fathered Hezron, Hezron fathered Ram, Ram fathered Amminadab, Amminadab fathered Nahshon, Nahshon fathered Salmon, Salmon fathered Boaz, Boaz fathered Obed,

‭‭S. Mateo‬ ‭1‬:‭1‬-‭25‬‬
Libro de la genealogía de Jesucristo, hijo de David, hijo de Abraham. Abraham engendró a Isaac, Isaac a Jacob, y Jacob a Judá y a sus hermanos. Judá engendró de Tamar a Fares y a Zara, Fares a Esrom, y Esrom a Aram. Aram engendró a Aminadab, Aminadab a Naasón, y Naasón a Salmón. Salmón engendró de Rahab a Booz, Booz engendró de Rut a Obed, y Obed a Isaí. Isaí engendró al rey David, y el rey David engendró a Salomón de la que fue mujer de Urías. Salomón engendró a Roboam, Roboam a Abías, y Abías a Asa. Asa engendró a Josafat, Josafat a Joram, y Joram a Uzías. Uzías engendró a Jotam, Jotam a Acaz, y Acaz a Ezequías. Ezequías engendró a Manasés, Manasés a Amón, y Amón a Josías. Josías engendró a Jeconías y a sus hermanos, en el tiempo de la deportación a Babilonia. Después de la deportación a Babilonia, Jeconías engendró a Salatiel, y Salatiel a Zorobabel. Zorobabel engendró a Abiud, Abiud a Eliaquim, y Eliaquim a Azor. Azor engendró a Sadoc, Sadoc a Aquim, y Aquim a Eliud. Eliud engendró a Eleazar, Eleazar a Matán, Matán a Jacob; y Jacob engendró a José, marido de María, de la cual nació Jesús, llamado el Cristo. De manera que todas las generaciones desde Abraham hasta David son catorce; desde David hasta la deportación a Babilonia, catorce; y desde la deportación a Babilonia hasta Cristo, catorce. El nacimiento de Jesucristo fue así: Estando desposada María su madre con José, antes que se juntasen, se halló que había concebido del Espíritu Santo. José su marido, como era justo, y no quería infamarla, quiso dejarla secretamente. Y pensando él en esto, he aquí un ángel del Señor le apareció en sueños y le dijo: José, hijo de David, no temas recibir a María tu mujer, porque lo que en ella es engendrado, del Espíritu Santo es. Y dará a luz un hijo, y llamarás su nombre JESÚS, porque él salvará a su pueblo de sus pecados. Todo esto aconteció para que se cumpliese lo dicho por el Señor por medio del profeta, cuando dijo: He aquí, una virgen concebirá y dará a luz un hijo, Y llamarás su nombre Emanuel, que traducido es: Dios con nosotros. Y despertando José del sueño, hizo como el ángel del Señor le había mandado, y recibió a su mujer. Pero no la conoció hasta que dio a luz a su hijo primogénito; y le puso por nombre JESÚS.

‭‭Josué‬ ‭2‬:‭1‬-‭24‬‬
Josué hijo de Nun envió desde Sitim dos espías secretamente, diciéndoles: Andad, reconoced la tierra, y a Jericó. Y ellos fueron, y entraron en casa de una ramera que se llamaba Rahab, y posaron allí. Y fue dado aviso al rey de Jericó, diciendo: He aquí que hombres de los hijos de Israel han venido aquí esta noche para espiar la tierra. Entonces el rey de Jericó envió a decir a Rahab: Saca a los hombres que han venido a ti, y han entrado a tu casa; porque han venido para espiar toda la tierra. Pero la mujer había tomado a los dos hombres y los había escondido; y dijo: Es verdad que unos hombres vinieron a mí, pero no supe de dónde eran. Y cuando se iba a cerrar la puerta, siendo ya oscuro, esos hombres se salieron, y no sé a dónde han ido; seguidlos aprisa, y los alcanzaréis. Mas ella los había hecho subir al terrado, y los había escondido entre los manojos de lino que tenía puestos en el terrado. Y los hombres fueron tras ellos por el camino del Jordán, hasta los vados; y la puerta fue cerrada después que salieron los perseguidores. Antes que ellos se durmiesen, ella subió al terrado, y les dijo: Sé que Jehová os ha dado esta tierra; porque el temor de vosotros ha caído sobre nosotros, y todos los moradores del país ya han desmayado por causa de vosotros. Porque hemos oído que Jehová hizo secar las aguas del Mar Rojo delante de vosotros cuando salisteis de Egipto, y lo que habéis hecho a los dos reyes de los amorreos que estaban al otro lado del Jordán, a Sehón y a Og, a los cuales habéis destruido. Oyendo esto, ha desmayado nuestro corazón; ni ha quedado más aliento en hombre alguno por causa de vosotros, porque Jehová vuestro Dios es Dios arriba en los cielos y abajo en la tierra. Os ruego pues, ahora, que me juréis por Jehová, que como he hecho misericordia con vosotros, así la haréis vosotros con la casa de mi padre, de lo cual me daréis una señal segura; y que salvaréis la vida a mi padre y a mi madre, a mis hermanos y hermanas, y a todo lo que es suyo; y que libraréis nuestras vidas de la muerte. Ellos le respondieron: Nuestra vida responderá por la vuestra, si no denunciareis este asunto nuestro; y cuando Jehová nos haya dado la tierra, nosotros haremos contigo misericordia y verdad. Entonces ella los hizo descender con una cuerda por la ventana; porque su casa estaba en el muro de la ciudad, y ella vivía en el muro. Y les dijo: Marchaos al monte, para que los que fueron tras vosotros no os encuentren; y estad escondidos allí tres días, hasta que los que os siguen hayan vuelto; y después os iréis por vuestro camino. Y ellos le dijeron: Nosotros quedaremos libres de este juramento con que nos has juramentado. He aquí, cuando nosotros entremos en la tierra, tú atarás este cordón de grana a la ventana por la cual nos descolgaste; y reunirás en tu casa a tu padre y a tu madre, a tus hermanos y a toda la familia de tu padre. Cualquiera que saliere fuera de las puertas de tu casa, su sangre será sobre su cabeza, y nosotros sin culpa. Mas cualquiera que se estuviere en casa contigo, su sangre será sobre nuestra cabeza, si mano le tocare. Y si tú denunciares este nuestro asunto, nosotros quedaremos libres de este tu juramento con que nos has juramentado. Ella respondió: Sea así como habéis dicho. Luego los despidió, y se fueron; y ella ató el cordón de grana a la ventana. Y caminando ellos, llegaron al monte y estuvieron allí tres días, hasta que volvieron los que los perseguían; y los que los persiguieron buscaron por todo el camino, pero no los hallaron. Entonces volvieron los dos hombres; descendieron del monte, y pasaron, y vinieron a Josué hijo de Nun, y le contaron todas las cosas que les habían acontecido. Y dijeron a Josué: Jehová ha entregado toda la tierra en nuestras manos; y también todos los moradores del país desmayan delante de nosotros.

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭1‬:‭5‬‬
Salmon fathered Boaz by Rahab, Boaz fathered Obed by Ruth, Obed fathered Jesse,

‭‭Joshua‬ ‭2‬:‭8‬-‭21‬‬
Before the men fell asleep, she went up on the roof and said to them, “I know that the Lord has given you this land and that the terror of you has fallen on us, and everyone who lives in the land is panicking because of you. For we have heard how the Lord dried up the water of the Red Sea before you when you came out of Egypt, and what you did to Sihon and Og, the two Amorite kings you completely destroyed across the Jordan. When we heard this, we lost heart, and everyone’s courage failed because of you, for the Lord your God is God in heaven above and on earth below. Now please swear to me by the Lord that you will also show kindness to my father’s family, because I showed kindness to you. Give me a sure sign that you will spare the lives of my father, mother, brothers, sisters, and all who belong to them, and save us from death.” The men answered her, “We will give our lives for yours. If you don’t report our mission, we will show kindness and faithfulness to you when the Lord gives us the land.” Then she let them down by a rope through the window, since she lived in a house that was built into the wall of the city. “Go to the hill country so that the men pursuing you won’t find you,” she said to them. “Hide there for three days until they return; afterward, go on your way.” The men said to her, “We will be free from this oath you made us swear, unless, when we enter the land, you tie this scarlet cord to the window through which you let us down. Bring your father, mother, brothers, and all your father’s family into your house. If anyone goes out the doors of your house, his death will be his own fault, and we will be innocent. But if anyone with you in the house should be harmed, his death will be our fault. And if you report our mission, we are free from the oath you made us swear.” “Let it be as you say,” she replied, and she sent them away. After they had gone, she tied the scarlet cord to the window.

‭‭Joshua‬ ‭6‬:‭20‬-‭25‬‬
So the troops shouted, and the rams’ horns sounded. When they heard the blast of the ram’s horn, the troops gave a great shout, and the wall collapsed. The troops advanced into the city, each man straight ahead, and they captured the city. They completely destroyed everything in the city with the sword — every man and woman, both young and old, and every ox, sheep, and donkey. Joshua said to the two men who had scouted the land, “Go to the prostitute’s house and bring the woman out of there, and all who are with her, just as you swore to her.” So the young men who had scouted went in and brought out Rahab and her father, mother, brothers, and all who belonged to her. They brought out her whole family and settled them outside the camp of Israel. They burned the city and everything in it, but they put the silver and gold and the articles of bronze and iron into the treasury of the Lord’s house. However, Joshua spared Rahab the prostitute, her father’s family, and all who belonged to her, because she hid the messengers Joshua had sent to spy on Jericho, and she still lives in Israel today.

Obeying God doesn’t mean your walls will never fall down.

‭‭Joshua‬ ‭6‬:‭20‬‬
So the troops shouted, and the rams’ horns sounded. When they heard the blast of the ram’s horn, the troops gave a great shout, and the wall collapsed. The troops advanced into the city, each man straight ahead, and they captured the city.

The Savior of the world was coming for ALL.

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭1‬:‭5‬‬
Salmon fathered Boaz by Rahab, Boaz fathered Obed by Ruth, Obed fathered Jesse,

‭‭2 Samuel‬ ‭22‬:‭28‬‬
You rescue an oppressed people, but your eyes are set against the proud — you humble them.

‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭66‬:‭1‬‬
This is what the Lord says: Heaven is my throne, and earth is my footstool. Where could you possibly build a house for me? And where would my resting place be?

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭23‬:‭12‬‬
Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.

‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭5‬:‭5‬-‭6‬‬
In the same way, you who are younger, be subject to the elders. All of you clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble. Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God, so that he may exalt you at the proper time,

‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭5‬:‭5‬-‭6‬‬
In the same way, you who are younger, be subject to the elders. All of you clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble. Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God, so that he may exalt you at the proper time,

‭‭Joshua‬ ‭6‬:‭22‬-‭25‬‬
Joshua said to the two men who had scouted the land, “Go to the prostitute’s house and bring the woman out of there, and all who are with her, just as you swore to her.” So the young men who had scouted went in and brought out Rahab and her father, mother, brothers, and all who belonged to her. They brought out her whole family and settled them outside the camp of Israel. They burned the city and everything in it, but they put the silver and gold and the articles of bronze and iron into the treasury of the Lord’s house. However, Joshua spared Rahab the prostitute, her father’s family, and all who belonged to her, because she hid the messengers Joshua had sent to spy on Jericho, and she still lives in Israel today.

‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭11‬:‭31‬‬
By faith Rahab the prostitute welcomed the spies in peace and didn’t perish with those who disobeyed.

‭‭James‬ ‭2‬:‭24‬-‭26‬‬
You see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone. In the same way, wasn’t Rahab the prostitute also justified by works in receiving the messengers and sending them out by a different route? For just as the body without the spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead.

A Scandalous Sorority - Rahab
Joshua 2:8-21

‭‭Joshua‬ ‭2‬:‭8‬-‭21‬‬
Before the men lay down, she came up to them on the roof and said to the men, “I know that the Lord has given you the land, and that the fear of you has fallen upon us, and that all the inhabitants of the land melt away before you. For we have heard how the Lord dried up the water of the Red Sea before you when you came out of Egypt, and what you did to the two kings of the Amorites who were beyond the Jordan, to Sihon and Og, whom you devoted to destruction. And as soon as we heard it, our hearts melted, and there was no spirit left in any man because of you, for the Lord your God, he is God in the heavens above and on the earth beneath. Now then, please swear to me by the Lord that, as I have dealt kindly with you, you also will deal kindly with my father’s house, and give me a sure sign that you will save alive my father and mother, my brothers and sisters, and all who belong to them, and deliver our lives from death.” And the men said to her, “Our life for yours even to death! If you do not tell this business of ours, then when the Lord gives us the land we will deal kindly and faithfully with you.” Then she let them down by a rope through the window, for her house was built into the city wall, so that she lived in the wall. And she said to them, “Go into the hills, or the pursuers will encounter you, and hide there three days until the pursuers have returned. Then afterward you may go your way.” The men said to her, “We will be guiltless with respect to this oath of yours that you have made us swear. Behold, when we come into the land, you shall tie this scarlet cord in the window through which you let us down, and you shall gather into your house your father and mother, your brothers, and all your father’s household. Then if anyone goes out of the doors of your house into the street, his blood shall be on his own head, and we shall be guiltless. But if a hand is laid on anyone who is with you in the house, his blood shall be on our head. But if you tell this business of ours, then we shall be guiltless with respect to your oath that you have made us swear.” And she said, “According to your words, so be it.” Then she sent them away, and they departed. And she tied the scarlet cord in the window.

1. A saving faith

‭‭Joshua‬ ‭2‬:‭9‬-‭11‬‬
and said to the men, “I know that the Lord has given you the land, and that the fear of you has fallen upon us, and that all the inhabitants of the land melt away before you. For we have heard how the Lord dried up the water of the Red Sea before you when you came out of Egypt, and what you did to the two kings of the Amorites who were beyond the Jordan, to Sihon and Og, whom you devoted to destruction. And as soon as we heard it, our hearts melted, and there was no spirit left in any man because of you, for the Lord your God, he is God in the heavens above and on the earth beneath.

‭‭James‬ ‭2‬:‭24‬-‭26‬‬
You see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone. And in the same way was not also Rahab the prostitute justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out by another way? For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, so also faith apart from works is dead.

‭‭James‬ ‭2‬:‭14‬‬
What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him?

‭‭James‬ ‭2‬:‭18‬‬
But someone will say, “You have faith and I have works.” Show me your faith apart from your works, and I will show you my faith by my works.

2. A sharing faith

3. A staying faith

‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭15‬:‭1‬‬
Now I would remind you, brothers, of the gospel I preached to you, which you received, in which you stand,

Jesus' Checkered Pedigree - Tamar
Genesis 38:11-14 & 24-26

Genesis 38:11-14 & 24-26
11 Then Judah said to Tamar, his daughter-in-law, “Go back to your parents’ home and remain a widow until my son Shelah is old enough to marry you.” (But Judah didn’t really intend to do this because he was afraid Shelah would also die, like his two brothers.) So Tamar went back to live in her father’s home.
12 Some years later Judah’s wife died. After the time of mourning was over, Judah and his friend Hirah the Adullamite went up to Timnah to supervise the shearing of his sheep. 13 Someone told Tamar, “Look, your father-in-law is going up to Timnah to shear his sheep.”
14 Tamar was aware that Shelah had grown up, but no arrangements had been made for her to come and marry him. So she changed out of her widow’s clothing and covered herself with a veil to disguise herself. Then she sat beside the road at the entrance to the village of Enaim, which is on the road to Timnah.

24 About three months later, Judah was told, “Tamar, your daughter-in-law, has acted like a prostitute. And now, because of this, she’s pregnant.” “Bring her out, and let her be burned!” Judah demanded.
25 But as they were taking her out to kill her, she sent this message to her father-in-law: “The man who owns these things made me pregnant. Look closely. Whose seal and cord and walking stick are these?” 26 Judah recognized them immediately and said, “She is more righteous than I am, because I didn’t arrange for her to marry my son Shelah.”

1. The Characters

a. Character 1 – Judah

b. Character 2 – Tamar

2. The context in Scripture

Genesis 43:9
I will be a pledge of his safety. From my hand you shall require him. If I do not bring him back to you and set him before you, then let me bear the blame forever.

3. The connection to Christmas

Genesis 43:9
I will be a pledge of his safety. From my hand you shall require him. If I do not bring him back to you and set him before you, then let me bear the blame forever.

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭1‬:‭1‬-‭17‬‬
An account of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the Son of David, the Son of Abraham: Abraham fathered Isaac, Isaac fathered Jacob, Jacob fathered Judah and his brothers, Judah fathered Perez and Zerah by Tamar, Perez fathered Hezron, Hezron fathered Aram, Aram fathered Amminadab, Amminadab fathered Nahshon, Nahshon fathered Salmon, Salmon fathered Boaz by Rahab, Boaz fathered Obed by Ruth, Obed fathered Jesse, and Jesse fathered King David. David fathered Solomon by Uriah’s wife, Solomon fathered Rehoboam, Rehoboam fathered Abijah, Abijah fathered Asa, Asa fathered Jehoshaphat, Jehoshaphat fathered Joram, Joram fathered Uzziah, Uzziah fathered Jotham, Jotham fathered Ahaz, Ahaz fathered Hezekiah, Hezekiah fathered Manasseh, Manasseh fathered Amon, Amon fathered Josiah, and Josiah fathered Jeconiah and his brothers at the time of the exile to Babylon. After the exile to Babylon Jeconiah fathered Shealtiel, Shealtiel fathered Zerubbabel, Zerubbabel fathered Abiud, Abiud fathered Eliakim, Eliakim fathered Azor, Azor fathered Zadok, Zadok fathered Achim, Achim fathered Eliud, Eliud fathered Eleazar, Eleazar fathered Matthan, Matthan fathered Jacob, and Jacob fathered Joseph the husband of Mary, who gave birth to Jesus who is called the Messiah.

Tamar: El secreto mejor guardado
Mateo 1
==========

‭‭S. Mateo‬ ‭1‬:‭1‬-‭25‬‬
Libro de la genealogía de Jesucristo, hijo de David, hijo de Abraham. Abraham engendró a Isaac, Isaac a Jacob, y Jacob a Judá y a sus hermanos. Judá engendró de Tamar a Fares y a Zara, Fares a Esrom, y Esrom a Aram. Aram engendró a Aminadab, Aminadab a Naasón, y Naasón a Salmón. Salmón engendró de Rahab a Booz, Booz engendró de Rut a Obed, y Obed a Isaí. Isaí engendró al rey David, y el rey David engendró a Salomón de la que fue mujer de Urías. Salomón engendró a Roboam, Roboam a Abías, y Abías a Asa. Asa engendró a Josafat, Josafat a Joram, y Joram a Uzías. Uzías engendró a Jotam, Jotam a Acaz, y Acaz a Ezequías. Ezequías engendró a Manasés, Manasés a Amón, y Amón a Josías. Josías engendró a Jeconías y a sus hermanos, en el tiempo de la deportación a Babilonia. Después de la deportación a Babilonia, Jeconías engendró a Salatiel, y Salatiel a Zorobabel. Zorobabel engendró a Abiud, Abiud a Eliaquim, y Eliaquim a Azor. Azor engendró a Sadoc, Sadoc a Aquim, y Aquim a Eliud. Eliud engendró a Eleazar, Eleazar a Matán, Matán a Jacob; y Jacob engendró a José, marido de María, de la cual nació Jesús, llamado el Cristo. De manera que todas las generaciones desde Abraham hasta David son catorce; desde David hasta la deportación a Babilonia, catorce; y desde la deportación a Babilonia hasta Cristo, catorce. El nacimiento de Jesucristo fue así: Estando desposada María su madre con José, antes que se juntasen, se halló que había concebido del Espíritu Santo. José su marido, como era justo, y no quería infamarla, quiso dejarla secretamente. Y pensando él en esto, he aquí un ángel del Señor le apareció en sueños y le dijo: José, hijo de David, no temas recibir a María tu mujer, porque lo que en ella es engendrado, del Espíritu Santo es. Y dará a luz un hijo, y llamarás su nombre JESÚS, porque él salvará a su pueblo de sus pecados. Todo esto aconteció para que se cumpliese lo dicho por el Señor por medio del profeta, cuando dijo: He aquí, una virgen concebirá y dará a luz un hijo, Y llamarás su nombre Emanuel, que traducido es: Dios con nosotros. Y despertando José del sueño, hizo como el ángel del Señor le había mandado, y recibió a su mujer. Pero no la conoció hasta que dio a luz a su hijo primogénito; y le puso por nombre JESÚS.

1. Los planes de Dios son más grandes que tus _____________.

2. No se trata de tu pasado sino de tu futuro.

3. Tamar está en la familia de Jesús. ¡Tú También lo estas!
