The Ark contained the 10 Commandments, but covering that was the Mercy Seat. When the high priest would annually sprinkle the blood of a sacrifice on the Mercy Seat, the sins of the people would be atoned for. Rather than just giving a Law to abide by, God offered mercy for the many ways the people fell short. In the same way, Jesus came as the perfect sacrifice, so that we can have atonement for our sins.

During these celebrations, the Israelites would also renew their covenant with God. While these feasts are no longer decreed for us who live under the New Covenant, Pastor Mike encourages us today to take time and remember the commitment we made to Christ. It can be easy to get caught up in the busyness of life, but from time to time we ought to honor what Christ has done for us and remember our decision to follow Him.

As Christians, it can be difficult to understand how these passages from Scripture relate to us in our modern age. Pastor Mike clears some of that up for us today, as he walks us through the layout of the temple, and explains how its symbolism transfers to the New Covenant. The temple priests had an extremely important and honorable responsibility; in the New Testament, we’re told that we are the new royal priesthood.

Ultimately, though, it’s up to them how they’re going to live their lives. as Pastor Mike’s going to teach today, it’s always been this way; you’ll see this worked out in the lives of Jacob and Esau. http://s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com/pixelark.online.church.media.center/324/0000074755/IMFH20220907.mp3630cf8a4a0df8.mp3 Wed, 07 Sep 2022 08:00:00 PDT Christianity no calvary chapel, pastors mike finizio, in my father's house, harvest christian fellowship, new york city christian talk messages christianity jesus christ god satan hell heaven Pastor Mike Finizio So, let’s say you have an only child. You love that child almost more than your own life. And God – and you know it’s God – tells you to sacrifice your child to Him. What do you do? No doubt, this would make for some interesting conversations between the parents. Surely Abraham had that talk with Sarah. But as you’ll hear in Pastor Mike’s message today, Abraham didn’t waver. He didn’t know how things would turn out. But he did know God’s promise of many descendants, so he trusted God for the outcome. So, let’s say you have an only child.

The contrasting ways Abraham and Lot reacted to those messages made huge differences in the way their lives turned out. http://s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com/pixelark.online.church.media.center/324/0000074359/IMFH20220816.mp362edbf5fd614c.mp3 Tue, 16 Aug 2022 08:00:00 PDT Christianity no calvary chapel, pastors mike finizio, in my father's house, harvest christian fellowship, new york city christian talk messages christianity jesus christ god satan hell heaven Pastor Mike Finizio The story of Lot’s wife being turned into a pillar of salt is pretty well-known, even by those who aren’t much interested in the things of God.

Don't allow the circumstances of this life to derail you from following the Lord! Sometimes it can become tempting to run back to your old ways and to become conformed again to the pattern of the world.

Today, he reminds us that Abraham didn’t do anything to earn his blessing from God. God chose to bless Abraham, purely out of grace. This theme is recurrent throughout the Bible – the Old Testament is full of stories of people who don’t deserve God’s grace, but He gives it anyway. The same is true of us under the New Covenant of Christ; we don’t deserve God’s blessing, yet He makes it available to all through Christ.

So many people in the world feel that they need to prove to God how good they are – that as long as their good deeds outweigh the bad, they will find favor in God’s eyes.

You’ve probably heard the saying “Don’t judge a book by its cover.” Basically, this means that you can’t always tell the value of something just by looking at it. And you can see how this reality is clearly illustrated in the birth of Jesus.

You see, he had put his trust in other people instead of letting God establish his kingship. So, when people failed him, Ishbosheth was left standing on shaky ground.

Whether you’re living paycheck to paycheck or building up a nice nest egg, there will be disagreements about how you manage it, and it requires patience and grace to approach these issues in a healthy way.

Here in 1st Peter, Peter is hoping that people would receive the peace and grace that comes from God... Just as Peter would likely wish that for the modern church... But how do we as Christians experience the peace and grace of our Lord? Through surrendering our lives to Him. When we surrender our plans and allow God to work His plan in our lives, the peace and sense of grace come from obedience to His will.

It’s as practical as it is beautiful, and there’s no question it took Divine inspiration and control for Paul to pen this letter to his brothers and sisters in the church of Ephesus. http://s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com/pixelark.online.church.media.center/324/0000066536/IMFH20210831.mp3612ad256cb6fe.mp3 Tue, 31 Aug 2021 08:00:00 PDT Christianity no calvary chapel, pastors mike finizio, in my father's house, harvest christian fellowship, new york city christian talk messages christianity jesus christ god satan hell heaven Pastor Mike Finizio When you receive Christ as your personal Lord and Savior, God increases the abilities He has given to you!

This opens the door for Satan to rule your life in slavery to sin apart from God. Today, Pastor Mike will explain how Satan will use every opportunity to cause you to disobey God. And when you do this, eventually God will step away and allow you to live in this life apart from him. A life of emptiness and unease.

Perhaps you value someone who’s outgoing, charismatic, and charming so people will be drawn to them. Or maybe someone who sounds smart and looks impressive.

In today’s passage, Pastor Mike will point out the folly in Saul’s response to the negative circumstances the Israelites found themselves in. Instead of realizing his lack of faith in God, and the way he’d trusted in his own reason and council, Saul sought to appease God by his own means. This nearly resulted in the death of his own son as a result of the rash vow he made before God.

A bad leader can easily create a barrier for many people to understand God’s goodness and truth. As Pastor Mike continues our study of the book of 1st Samuel, we’ll witness a prime example of bad leadership in Saul. He put his own interests over that of the people, and even worse, over serving God’s will and glory. This temptation has pulled down many good leaders in the history of our faith.

The greatest thing you can do is allow Christ and His love to radiate into the darkness around you. http://s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com/pixelark.online.church.media.center/324/0000064529/IMFH20210622.mp360c54a04c951d.mp3 Tue, 22 Jun 2021 08:00:00 PDT Christianity no calvary chapel, pastors mike finizio, in my father's house, harvest christian fellowship, new york city christian talk messages christianity jesus christ god satan hell heaven Pastor Mike Finizio What is greatness? Is it attaining celebrity, political power, material wealth, athletic prowess, or great relationships? For most of us, our definitions will vary widely.

But, as Pastor Mike will explain in today’s message – that won’t be an issue in eternity. For those who believe in Christ, we’ll experience unmarred eternal wholeness. http://s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com/pixelark.online.church.media.center/324/0000064019/IMFH20210528.mp360a6b021b8e21.mp3 Fri, 28 May 2021 08:00:00 PDT Christianity no calvary chapel, pastors mike finizio, in my father's house, harvest christian fellowship, new york city christian talk messages christianity jesus christ god satan hell heaven Pastor Mike Finizio The systems we live under in this world can sometimes feel oppressive.

God cannot stand that abomination and his punishment will be poured out. http://s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com/pixelark.online.church.media.center/324/0000063588/IMFH20210505.mp3608bfbed4668c.mp3 Wed, 05 May 2021 08:00:00 PDT Christianity no calvary chapel, pastors mike finizio, in my father's house, harvest christian fellowship, new york city christian talk messages christianity jesus christ god satan hell heaven Pastor Mike Finizio Any talk of judgment, punishment or eternal torment is either shushed up or ignored as crazy talk. Yet, the reality of hell must be understood and shared with others. As Pastor Mike teaches today, God’s wrath against sin is real. The punishment for sin is eternity spent in Hell. Jesus himself discussed hell often in his teachings. He wanted people to recognize the seriousness of sin and the great gift of his salvation. If you believe and put your trust in Him, you won’t go to hell, but instead, spend eternity in Heaven with him.
