The Next Step for our ETJ Podcast Scott Pauley

Learning to Live in the Presence of God SLIDE_16x9

It is a pleasure to walk through God’s Word with so many of you on our daily podcast. The paths of Scripture are full of adventure and spiritual refreshment! Thank you for being a fellow traveler as we seek to follow our tour guide, the Holy Spirit.

The Lord Jesus said of the Holy Spirit, “Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth…” (John 16:13). This is my prayer as we approach the Bible: Holy Spirit, guide us into all the truth that God has for us.

Today we conclude our journey through Psalm 23. Every episode of The Shepherd in the Shadows is available in the ETJ archive. What a treasure to know that our Good Shepherd is continuing to lead us all!

So, what is the next step in our Enjoying the Journey study?

On Monday we begin a brand new series in Genesis through the life of Joseph. This study will coincide with our recently released book, The Lord was with Joseph. I hope you will obtain a digital, audio, or physical copy of the book for yourself. You may find out more about the new resource at enjoyingthejourney.org/joseph.

Our podcast series will follow Joseph through the ups and downs of his journey, and discover the one constant of his life. From youth through old age, through his blessings and burdens, we learn how to live consciously in the presence of God. May God teach us all how to walk in God’s presence every day!

I look forward to joining you in Scripture again next week…

A journey through 1 John reveals our place in the family of God, how we can have assurance, and that our joy is rooted in Christ.

Journey through 1 John

“Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile! Nathanael saith unto him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee.” (John 1:47-48)

Why the Story of Nathanael Sitting Under the Fig Tree Matters

It also discusses the Four Sermons in Haggai It is in that context that God raises up the prophet Haggai with four sermons in four months. The Word of the Lord comes to Haggai, and he preaches four sermons. Each one of them is dated for us. Each sermon targets a different problem. You can read them in Haggai chapters one and two. In his first sermon (Haggai 1:1-15), Haggai preached on the danger of waiting when we should be working. They were waiting for a sign to build. He said, You don't need a sign, you need to obey God. Haggai's second sermon (Haggai 2:1-9) explained the danger of lamenting the past and missing the present. They were sorrowing over the destruction of the past temple. God said, Build a new one. It was G. Campbell Morgan who said, “It is impossible to unlock the present with the rusty key of the past." Many people are bogged down in their past and miss the present. Keep in mind what is at hand and what is ahead. The third sermon he preached (Haggai 2:10-19) described the danger of seeing only the material and neglecting the supernatural. They could see the work that needed to be done, but they missed the fact that God had resources that would help them get it done. The Lord was behind all of this. The fourth sermon (Haggai 2:20-23) warned against the danger of recognizing who is against us and forgetting who is for us. They were concentrating on the opposition and forgetting that “greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world” (1 John 4:4). A journey through Haggai shows us the importance of performing the work that God has told us to do, and His glory in our obedience. Image leads to an overview of Haggai
