Jesus Through the Bible
In GENESIS, Jesus is the Ram at Abrahamâs altar
In EXODUS, Heâs the Passover Lamb In LEVITICUS, Heâs the High Priest In NUMBERS, Heâs the Cloud by day and the pillar of fire by night In DEUTERONOMY, Heâs the City of our Refuge In JOSHUA, Heâs the Scarlet Thread out by Rahabâs window In JUDGES, He is our King In RUTH, He is our Kinsman Redeemer In 1st and 2nd SAMUEL, Heâs our Trusted Prophet In KINGS and CHRONICLES, Heâs our Reigning King In EZRA, He is our Faithful Scribe In NEHEMIAH, Heâs the Rebuilder of everything that is broken In ESTHER, He is the Mordecai sitting faithful at the gate In JOB, Heâs our Redeemer that ever liveth In PSALMS, He is my Shepherd In PROVERBS and ECCLESIASTES, Heâs our Wisdom In the SONG OF SOLOMON, Heâs the Beautiful Bridegroom In ISAIAH, Heâs the Suffering Servant In JEREMIAH and LAMENTATIONS, it is Jesus that is the Weeping Prophet In EZEKIEL, Heâs the Wonderful Four-Faced Man In DANIEL, He is the Fourth Man in the midst of a fiery furnace In HOSEA, He is my Love that is forever faithful In JOEL, He baptizes us with the Holy Spirit In AMOS, Heâs our Burden Bearer In OBADIAH, Heâs our Savior In JONAH, He is the Great Foreign Missionary In MICAH, He is the Messenger with beautiful feet In NAHUM, He is the Avenger In HABAKKUK, He is the Watchman that is ever praying for revival In ZEPHANIAH, He is the Lord mighty to save In HAGGAI, He is the Restorer of our lost heritage In ZECHARIAH, He is our Fountain In MALACHI, He is the Son of Righteousness with healing in His wings In MATTHEW, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the Living God In MARK, Heâs the Miracle Worker In LUKE, Heâs the Son of Man In JOHN, He is the door by which everyone of us must enter In ACTS, He is the Shining Light that appears to Saul on the Damascus road In ROMANS, He is our Justifier In 1st CORINTHIANS, He is our Resurrection In 2nd CORINTHIANS, He is our Sin Bearer In GALATIANS, He redeems us from the law In EPHESIANS, He is our Unsearchable Riches In PHILIPPIANS, He supplies our every need In COLOSSIANS, Heâs the Fullness of the Godhead Bodily In 1st and 2nd THESSALONIANS, He is our Soon Coming King In 1st and 2nd TIMOTHY, He is the Mediator between God and man In TITUS, He is our Blessed Hope In PHILEMON, He is a Friend that sticks closer than a brother In HEBREWS, Heâs the Blood of the everlasting covenant In JAMES, it is the Lord that heals the sick In 1st and 2nd PETER, He is the Chief Shepherd In 1st, 2nd, and 3rd JOHN, it is Jesus who has the tenderness of love In JUDE, He is the Lord coming with 10,000 saints And in REVELATION, He is the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
Many today think that God is a God of hills but not of the plains. They think God is a God of the past but not of the present. They think God is a God of a few special favorites but not of all His people. They think that God is God of one kind of trial, but not of another kind. âDepend upon it, since Satan could not kill the church by roaring at her like a lion, he is now trying to crush her by hugging her like a bear. There is truth in this, but it is not all the truth. Do you really think, my brethren, that God cannot preserve his Church in the particular trial through which she is now passing? Is he the God of the hills of persecution, but not the God of the valleys of prosperity?
Charles Spurgeon
âNow, beloved, when you are worshipping God, shout if you are filled with holy gladness. If the shout comes from your heart, I would not ask you to restrain it. God forbid that we should judge any manâs worship! But do not be so foolish as to suppose that because there is loud noise there must also be faith. Faith is a still water, it flows deep. True faith in God may express itself with leaping and with shouting; and it is a happy thing when it does: but it can also sit still before the Lord, and that perhaps is a happier thing still.â
Charles Spurgeon
C.S. Lewis said, âI would rather be what God chose to make me than the most glorious creature that I could think of; for to have been born in Godâs thought and then made by God is the dearest, grandest, and most precious thing in all thinking.â

Indeed, the word âdoctrine,â a word fallen on hard times in contemporary culture, actually means a âhealing teaching,â from the French word for âdoctor.â The creeds, as doctrinal statements, were intended as healing instruments, life-giving words that would draw Godâs people into a deeper engagement with divine things. When creeds become fences to mark the borders of heresy, they lose their spiritual energy. Doctrine is to be the balm of a healing experience of God, not a theological scalpel to wound and exclude people.

IMPACT! At Living Truth Christian Center, we are about the IMPACT of the gospel in our lives, in our schools and in our community. Our High School Youth Group (IMPACT!) has been given another great opportunity to encounter Jesus at Camp Collide hosted by Captial Christian Center from June 19-23r...
Hey friends! Check out this fundraising page for the high school students at our church :) Would you consider supporting some of our students who would really love to go to summer camp this year but are unable to afford it?Â
I have been a youth counselor for the last 11 years and have seen the how God is able to use summer camps to have powerful, life-changing encounters with our students, many who have never heard the gospel! Even a small donation can make a huge, eternal impact on their lives! Thank you so much!
We shall not grow weary of waiting upon God if we remember how long and how graciously He once waited for us.

Care and Feeding of INFJs
INFJs become attuned from a young age to looking out for other peopleâs relationships and morale. An INFJ feels happiest and most fulfilled when theyâre helping other people understand themselves and their problems. Theyâre usually pretty good at it, too. See, INFJs see two people in everyone. The public persona, the outer shell that everyone else sees.. But they also have a deeper sense or impression of people, penetrating appearances and reading hidden motives and intentions. Rightly or not, INFJs often feel they can see people more clearly than those people can see themselves. Donât let that word âintrovertâ fool you: INFJs love to engage with people, spending time with their friends, listening to music, watching movies, telling stories More than anything, they love spending time engrossed in meaningful conversation. (Theyâre usually happy to talk about their feelings, perspectives, and intuitions, too. If you get them started, they may talk for hours.)
In fact, INFJs can be people pleasers. Because they so effectively (and unconsciously) read, understand, and relate to others, the unhappiness of someone around them has a direct and immediate effect of them. They may seem cheerful in large groups. (INFJs often have a good sense of humour and can be funny and engaging. They also tend to be good storytellers, with vivid imaginations and a knack for metaphor.Â
They can even be fairly intense, exaggerated, a certain âmelodrama in their verbiageâ) When theyâre really on their game, itâs not unknown for the INFJ to be mistaken for an extravert⌠But donât be fooled. The INFJ is introverted, and a crowd is not their natural habitat. wow what a turn of phrase with their closest confidants, the INFJ tends to be more open and direct. This may come off as moodiness, pessimism, or a certain restlessness or discontent. This is because the INFJ, left to their own devices, will readily neglect their own emotional needs. Theyâre genuinely warm, welcoming, loving, self-giving⌠But they need time by themselves to recharge those proverbial batteries. INFJs are far less serious inwardly than they may sometimes appear outwardly. Their internal lives are playful, imaginative, colorful, mischievous, and daring. They love playing with ideas, perspectives, theories, images, symbols, and metaphors. They naturally see general connections and patterns. In fact, they experience everything as an interconnected whole. For the INFJ, discovering truth involves getting a better handle on the nature of this connectedness by discerning universal laws and patterns.Â
The INFJ has an intimate relationship with the workings of their subconscious. For them, routine existence often assumes a sort of dreamlike quality. (They have less of a distinction between being awake and asleep, making it difficult sometimes to separate dreams from reality.) INFJs also tend to think by way of images rather than words. INFJs are more skilled than most at accurately discerning what is happening in a given situation. They can easily envision how things will unfold if they continue along their current course. But they tend to form an impression or theory of what is happening. They see the big picture. (Not always the details.)Â
INFJs have a harder time perceiving and understanding their own emotions on their own. They often turn to others for aid and support in emotionally taxing circumstances. Begging the question⌠What does an INFJ expect out of their conversational partner in a situation like this? Emotional support. The INFJ in your life is usually not looking for you to solve their problems. They want empathy. They want reassurance. Be vocal. Touch. Show them you care. Someone to talk to. INFJs may not fully understand the nature of an insight until theyâve had the opportunity to talk it through out loud. For this reason, talking to a stressed INFJ may be more monologue than dialogue. Let them process. Relief. INFJs hold a lot inside. And not just their burdens. By nature, they want to take on everbody elseâs. But regardless of whether or not they find a solution, an INFJ will feel better once theyâve talked about their problems and expressed their feelings. Let them cry. So what do they need? Listen, and love. What is the most important thing to know about INFJs? They are always in conflict with themselves. They feel guilty about needing to recharge. They have trouble balancing their own needs with those of others, heavily favouring the latter. Some INFJs will agree to things instinctively to oblige others, even while inwardly they regret doing so. And they have a crippling tendency to self-doubt. They may distrust their intuition, even when they know theyâre right. They have a thirst for sensory novelty and material comforts⌠often develop refined and sophisticated tastes⌠love the fine things that money can buy, and the experiences⌠But they feel guilty about their worldliness.
They downplay the importance of âthingsâ in their lives and tell themselves they arenât supposed to be concerned about physical matters, but metaphysical ones. The INFJ will struggle with decisions between the material and the spiritual. (Say, between a job thatâs spiritually satisfying and one more capable of materially providing for their lifestyle.) The issue of quality is extremely important to INFJs. They tend to have strong convctions about truth, and can become attached to the âperfect materializationâ of their ideals. INFJs are usually perfectionists. They may be driven to see their ideals perfectly translated into reality. And they may sacrifice everything - even their own health or sanity - to ensure their vision finds a perfect incarnation. The INFJ will always be much harder on themselves than on anyone else. They are more than willing to forgive the offenses and shortcomings of others. If an INFJ loves you, they will never give up on you. (But since they see themselves as âknowing better,â they may fail to grant themselves the same degree of grace.) âFrom everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked.â In conclusion, INFJs are âold souls.â They genuinely love people, but they need time on their own. They have stunning intuition and insights. (Which theyâre sometimes afraid to rely on.) They live in a perpetual, dreamlike state. So much so that they may forget to eat or stumble on flat ground.) INFJs can be complex. But donât let them fool you. They will always put themselves last.)
Thereâs one simple rule to dealing with your INFJ. Put them first.Â
Been going through some difficult times and kicking myself for not just âgetting over itâ and moving on.Â
Needed this reminder... that itâs ok and not selfish to take time for myself to recover after the storm, recharge, and express what I need from others. Â
Hear, O Lord, when I cry with my voice, And be gracious to me and answer me. When You said, âSeek My face,â my heart said to You, âYour face, O Lord, I shall seek.â Do not hide Your face from me, Do not turn Your servant away in anger; You have been my help; Do not abandon me nor forsake me, O God of my salvation!
Psalm 27:7-9
God shakes our confidence in our earthly life so that we can yearn for our heavenly life, where our joy is truly unshakable and where our wailing will be turned into dancing.
