So awesome!! Gives me such Hope as I pray for my son who has turned his heart away from God~he knows the truth ~its there and God is ever before him!!! PTL
I'm doing the same for my son. God will honor us as we stand in the gap and fervently pray for our prodigals.
🙏🙏🙏
I’m right there with you! My daughter even served as a missionary in China for a while. She did an about face in 2014 due to a traumatic medical experience and has been blazing a trail as far as possible from our God ever since. I needed hope today. Thank you for the reminder of God’s abilities and heart, Tara-Leigh.
@@inh0usegraphics- your comment could be mine as well!! She loves Jesus her entire life and served as a
Missionary in China for 8 yrs. She returned (Ohio) in 2014 and was literally in bed for 3 months sick. The past 5 yrs. she has “deconstructed” to the point that she is bitter toward all things Christian. I pray daily- she has a very independent and strong will. Breaks my heart.
Praying for my son, his wife and my oldest daughter also. Come Jesus, meet them where they are and call them out of darkness!
I pray every day that my sons will turn back to God before it is too late. I will always have hope, because I know that God, and only God, can truly change hearts.
Same. Husband too.
Same ❤🙏
Amen 🙏
I'm praying for my son.
God is faithful 🙏
Praying that my son will return…
I am always encouraged by the conversion of Saul/Paul. It is a reminder to me that no one is too far gone in sin to be saved. Thank You, Jesus! Praise His holy name!
I praise Yahweh for all of His goodness in bringing salvation through His chosen nation of Israel so that all nations can be blessed.
Acts 10:34-35 ESV
"So Peter opened his mouth and said: 'Truly I understand that God shows no partiality, but in every nation anyone who fears him and does what is right is acceptable to him.'"
Thank you, TLC, for the encouraging words. We can remain in hope for our lost loved ones to come to the Lord.
Amen!
Loving this daily!
God has the last word! Amen and Amen
Good Sunday morning Family Thank God for transforming 💕💕 Hearts!! I thank Him for a loving Savior Jesus who wants our hearts Have a blessed day in His Presence ❤️
Love this explanation of the law!
Acts 10:34b-35, "God does not show favoritism but accepts from every nation the one who fears him and does what is right." This is such good news for us Gentiles! God gives forgiveness of sins through Jesus to everyone who believes in Him (Acts 10:43).
I listen to the Bible recap every day through Google podcasts, which doesn't let me rate the podcast (silly Google) (I did report this feedback to Google), but I wanted to jump on UA-cam (which I have, but don't use often) so that people can see in the algorithm how amazing it is. Look, I don't care what denomination you are or if you are a Christian or not. I mean, I do care, but what I'm getting at is that the Bible recap is a great resource to help you learn the Bible and listen to it/read it daily. How else are you going to learn about it? Random tiktok stuff? Whatever! You need to actually get into the Word! I don't agree with everything Tara Leigh says, and I don't agree 100% with anyone, but the Word is the Word. It does not go void. Use The Bible Recap as a resource to learn more about God and listen to Him. You won't be disappointed.
The scripture is talking about people. All people can be saved.
Yes, I agree!
We can see as Peter did, that God’s salvation extend to everyone who believes and accepts Jesus as their savior
In the story of Saul’s conversation, when he returned to Jerusalem the disciples there didn’t believe in his conversion. It was great that Barnabas was there to bring Saul into the Community. How often are we like the disciples who push new converts away, hold them at arms length? We need to be like Barnabas, who will encourage and bring them into community. Challenges are ahead of us and we can face them better when we know there are prayer warriors on our side, when we know that fellow believers are there to listen and encourage 🙏🏽🕊️😇
Amen!
I am so thankful that God never stops pursuing everyone! I pray for hearts to open to God!!
Amen 🙏
Amen
Oh, I think I’m going to refer to TLC as STLC (Saint TLC) from now on…
So much goodness! ❤
Good
God has the final word. Amen. 🙏 Hope for my family. ❤
Hey Bible Readers!
Moral Law. Holds today. ❤
If the commandments are still in force…why are the majority of Christians not still worshipping on the seventh day? The fourth commandment even says…Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy, it’s like God knew we would forget the true day He commanded to keep holy.
That’s a good question. It’s deception in the church. I do personally still follow the Sabbath on Saturday, as commanded. That was changed many years later. Nothing in the Bible tells us that had changed.
Sometimes it becomes easy to do what everyone else is doing. In this journey through the Bible, we see several times where the Israelite just followed the crowd. Few take the time to actually study 📖 and seek for what GOD truly says in His Word. They pick and choose passages to fit their beliefs. When one don’t understand the WHOLE Bible, one doesn’t see the full character of GOD. The prayers we pray before we reach each reading - I find powerful. I want to do thing GOD’S way. I want to thank Him for His Love and Salvation by fully following Him.
I pray 🙏🏽 that as we all journey together, we all can learn together and listen to the Holy Spirit as she guides us through the Words of the Bible.
I personally believe, that in Jesus, who fulfilled the Law and the Prophets, we are called to be holy as He is holy and as such, everyday we should seek to be set apart to worship Him in Spirit and in Truth. I personally believe that we honor the resurrection of our Lord and Savior when we gather in community to worship Him on Sunday, representing Him and His resurrection for our eternal life through Him.
@@jackietheg8025 but can you find that change documented in scripture? The Sabbath was given by God at creation by sanctifying the 7th day and made it holy and God rested, presented again in the 10 commandments written in stone by Gods finger with the word “REMEMBER”, Jesus kept the Sabbath, the disciples kept the Sabbath after Jesus rose…what changed? who changed it?? Why would God add the word REMEMBER to the 4th commandment. Just something to think about…
@@maigallop After His Resurrection, Sunday was held sacred as the Lord's day in remembrance of His Resurrection on that day (see Acts 20:7; 1 Corinthians 16:2). From that time on, His followers observed the first day of the week as their Sabbath. The Roman emperor Constantine I, a convert to Christianity, introduced the first civil legislation concerning Sunday in 321. To be in keeping with Christians he had observed, he decreed that all work should cease on that day, in order to observe the Sabbath because at that time, it was considered a workday.
I have to respectfully disagree with the meaning of Peters vision. In verse 10:28, Peter explains exactly what the vision meant, and it was not about food at all. In verse 10:34, he also relays that God is no respecter of persons, which the vision taught him.
Just wanted to share my understanding of the passage.
Yes @faithjolene244 you are correct that 10:28 and 10:34 explains. “ Peter began to speak: "Now I truly understand that God doesn't show favoritism, 35 but in every nation the person who fears him and does what is right is acceptable to him. He sent the message to the Israelites, proclaiming the good news of peace through Jesus Christ
-he is Lord of all.”
Then the Holy Spirit was poured out on the believing Gentiles and they did not have to convert to Judaism - this is the main point of not only Acts 9 and 10 but also extremely key in understanding the rest of the New Testament (especially Romans) and Christianity as a whole 😊
@faithjolene244 Glad you brought this up. I tried to step back and see if this vision was about diet. I had a hard time seeing that. We have Cornelius having this vision. He is told to see Peter. Peter is such a staunch Jew that has strong prejudices against the Gentiles. GOD/Christ had to use strong illustration that Peter would understand. As Peter was hungry - it would make sense that a vision about food would be the one that would drive the point HOME. He had the vision 3 times because 3 men were at the door for him with a request that went against the grain of his own being. To break down this barrier, he needed a knock on the head. So Peter’s response in vs. 28 & 34-35, Peter is given clarity in what GOD was trying to say to him.
Non-religious scientists are now seeing the benefits the GOD has pointed out in diet. There seemed to be a reason why certain foods were considered “unclean”. What we eat is not a salvation issue, but it was something GOD shared because he wants His people to be healthy. I don’t think that plan has changed.
I agree!
Not about food!
I don’t think this was a “Go Get ur Bacon” invitation🐽
I personally have decided not to eat what Jesus didn’t🧡
@faithjolene244 I completely agree with you. This verse is commonly taken out of context and misunderstood. It's important to read the entire text to get a better view of the picture and the point. We must be attentive, as we dig into the word of God so as not to be led astray.
@@cmconcon I do the same 💜
CS Lewis...
God has the final say, my God shot was how Peter began gaining his visions. And becoming one of God’s most devoted follower. God you are where the joy is. 🫶🏽🙌🏽🙏🏽
This is my prayer all that I have met will come to know Jesus as Lord and Savior ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Day 323...can you believe it?
We have almost completed this year's bible reading. 42 Days to go before we begin again. Anyone else continuing?
I'm thankful I found the Bible Recap on UA-cam. Thank you TLC❤
Praise God we've hung in there especially some harder chapter reads.
He's where the Joy is!❤
Yay! I'll be continuing. It will be year five for my sister and me with Tara-Leigh!
Yes I will continue. It will be year 3 for me. Praise God
I'm going to try. I've enjoying reading chronologically, but I'm hoping they'll mix it up a little to make it different than this year.
I was wondering if TLC makes new videos every year?
@@debbiedoeshealth Me too.
Thank you, TLC, for today’s Recap and reassurance that our family members may know The Lord.
Have a blessed Thanksgiving
This was just what I needed to hear today…. ❤ Thank you Lord!
Throughout the gospels we come to know Peter’s stubborn zeal. He gives up everything to follow Jesus. Like all Jews he is looking for a messiah to save Israel and so doesn’t get Jesus or His message to the point that he denies Jesus three times. John 21 tells us that Jesus reminds Peter of this after His resurrection asking Peter if he Loves Him three times and at Peter’s affirmation remind him to feed Jesus’ sheep. So I kind of imagine things happening in threes for Peter is God’s way of showing Peter His will, the food three times in the vision, three messengers from Cornelius who had a vision three days before at three in the afternoon. So I imagine Peter looking up to heaven saying OK Lord I get it. Then Peter proclaims the good news and of course mentions Jesus death and resurrection after three days.
A basis of these stories is the fear of the Lord and obeying His word. When Jesus confronts Saul, he is thunderstruck, and must learn all he must suffer for Christ. Then he obeys and preaches the irrefutable proof of Jesus’ Messiahship. Then Peter is corrected and his eyes are open to the gospel that makes all people clean. Cornelius is a God fearing Roman soldier and obeys the vision by summoning Peter. When we fear God and obey Him, He transforms us and sets us free to be able to draw near to Him as never before!
God has the final Word
Great teaching! Thanks, TLC!
To those asking about "when" to honor the Sabbath and to those disagreeing about what food we as Christians should or should not consume, let's remember that to try and debate right or wrong in these laws is legalism - it's what the pharisees did.
None of us are capable of keeping the law. It's out of love for God that we "try" to obey it but we will always fall short in one way or another so we shouldn't get caught up in when to honor the sabbath or whether or not it's "wrong" to eat bacon and whatnot.
Love God, love people.
What day you choose to rest and whether you consume what is considered unclean under Judaic law has no bearing on that.
In Galatians 2:15-16, Paul writes: "We ourselves are Jews by birth and not Gentile sinners; yet we know that a person is justified not by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ."
Don't get caught up in "Should I?" "Can I?" All God requires of us is faith. Works do not justify.
THAT BEING SAID, Romans 14:14 does say this: "I am convinced, being fully persuaded in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean in itself. But if anyone regards something as unclean, then for that person it is unclean."
So, when it does come to what you yourself want to practice to honor God, that is between you and the Lord. But understand that it does NOT bring salvation.
Hope this helps someone who may be struggling. I know I've been there before.
I really like the Bible Recap it helps me understand the Bible better 🙏
I'd be 💯 lost without her explanations. Especially during cubit days
My God shot was in Acts 9:2-3.
Saul was going after those who belonged to "the Way."
Vs 3 tells us he was going "his way."
There is only one way... John
14:6-"I am the Way, and the Truth and the Life. No one comes to the Father but by Me."
It's a beautiful picture of us as believers leaving our way to follow "The Way" to eternal life.
Yessss!! Love this! 💕
Bible question over here?👋 in Acts 10 when Peter had a vision and spirit said to seek the 3 men. Then later in the chapter. There was action of this vision taken. My question is, was this a little more than just the Holy Spirit? Would one say this, too, was operating in the prophetic, which is a gift?
I can see it now: The Chosen will cover this when Cornelius finally comes to Chris through Peter. I hope that's in the script!
Praise GOD for HIS servants who are doing the will of GOD
Wow - started late so on catch up but so this was so timely as spent 1 and a half pleading/ trying to reason and got to share the full gospel with my brother 2 days ago, who afterwards said to my wife ‘I’m not sure why he (as in me) bothers’ and my wife by Gods grace was able to reinforce because he loves you and wants you to go to heaven. But I’m not looking for a decision from him as much as I’d have loved that 😢 as it’s God who does the work of salvation only. Someone reminded me of Corinthians ‘For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, 5 casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God’ prayer for the lost, for prodigals (2 daughters who are not born again also) and everyone who listens to Tara’s summary that God will break any strongholds, false pretences, arguments against the Truth in the minds of non believers. Amen
Acts of the Apostles 9:1 NLT
[1] Meanwhile, Saul was uttering threats with every breath and was eager to kill the Lord’s followers. So he went to the high priest.
[3] As he was approaching Damascus on this mission, a light from heaven suddenly shone down around him. [4] He fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to him, “Saul! Saul! Why are you persecuting me?” [5] “Who are you, lord?” Saul asked. And the voice replied, “I am Jesus, the one you are persecuting! [6] Now get up and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do.”
[10] Now there was a believer in Damascus named Ananias. The Lord spoke to him in a vision, calling, “Ananias!” “Yes, Lord!” he replied. [11] The Lord said, “Go over to Straight Street, to the house of Judas. When you get there, ask for a man from Tarsus named Saul. He is praying to me right now. [12] I have shown him a vision of a man named Ananias coming in and laying hands on him so he can see again.”
[15] But the Lord said, “Go, for Saul is my chosen instrument to take my message to the Gentiles and to kings, as well as to the people of Israel. [16] And I will show him how much he must suffer for my name’s sake.” [17] So Ananias went and found Saul. He laid his hands on him and said, “Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on the road, has sent me so that you might regain your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit.”
Amen Tara-Leigh Cobble!
Moral laws such as the 10 Commandments-
So are you saying that Christians are to remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy as commanded and described in the OT?
Yes!
Indeed!
Absolutely. The New Testament does not negate God's commandments in the Old Testament. Even the disciples teachings support this as they taught new believers of all the things that were in the OT which backs up Christ's claim as the long awaited Messiah. Even Christ kept the Sabbath.
I object to the characterization of Paul as "half-Jew, half-Roman." Paul will later say that he was born a Roman citizen. That doesn't mean he was half-Roman since we know Roman citizenship could be purchased. I've always learned that he probably inherited his citizenship from an ancestor who likely paid for it, like the Roman commander to whom Paul reveals this information in Acts 22:26. He tells us in various places that he was a "Pharisee of the Pharisees," a "Hebrew of the Hebrews," and "a Pharisee of the strictest sect." I find it unlikely that he would be able to say these things if his mother was Roman (as she would have to be since we know his father was of the tribe of Benjamin Philippians 3:5).
