Sweet Sunday Sermon – Study to shew thyself approved unto God

Submitted by Dr. GP

2 Timothy 2 v 15 is certainly one of my favourite Bible verses. As the Apostle Paul  approached death he wrote  the letter to his protege Timothy which we know as 2 Timothy. In chapter two of this missive he gives the philosophy of education of any sort,  i. e  And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also. In other words, knowledge and instruction must always be passed on the faithful trustworthy persons, who would pass such information on to  other faithful trustworthy persons, in a chain.

At verse 15, Paul asserts that to do this well, one must practice the discipline and endurance of a farmer, a soldier and an athlete and STUDY! Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

This week’s Sweet Sunday Sermon are my notes on this verse, and  is thus entitled “Study to shew thyself approved unto God”

  2. Everyone knows the famous Bible story of David and Goliath. But do you know where this battle took place? Find out why the location of this famous biblical battle is a crucial part of the story.
    The Valley of Elah
    According to the Bible, David and Goliath’s battle took place in the rolling hills separating the Israelite mountainous plateau from the Philistine coastal plain. The two armies stood on either side of a wide vale called the “The Valley of Elah” (1 Sam. 17:2). The word Elah אֵלָה means the “terebinth,” a species of deciduous tree which covered large portions of the Land of Israel in the days of the Bible.

    Oaks and Terebinths
    Terebinths appears often in the Bible. For example, Jacob buried his family’s foreign gods “under the terebinth tree near Shechem” (Gen. 35:4) and Absalom died by accidentally hanging from a terebinth (2 Sam. 18:9). A terebinth tree looks a lot like an oak tree (elon אֵלוֹן). Oaks are also common in Scripture: Abraham often camped near groves of oak trees: the “Oak (elon) of Moreh” (Gen. 12:6) and the “Oaks (elonei) of Mamre” (Gen. 18:1).

    Uncover the nuances of the Scriptures
    Both elah and elon come from the Hebrew root meaning “god” (el אל), because these trees were considered by the Canaanites to have divine strength and were worshipped by idolaters (Hosea 4:13). So, the location of the battle wasn’t accidental. This was a battle over belief. Who would prevail in the Valley of Elah: the one Lord of Israel (Elohim) or the numerous idolatrous gods (elim)?

    I MUST CONFESS THAT SINGLE HANDEDLY WRANGLING WITH THE SEVERAL VERY WEAK OPPOSITION, PRESENTED BY SATAN’S LILLIPUTIAN EMMISARIES HERE ON BU, IS A MUCH EASIER TASK THAN LITTLE DAVID HAD WITH THAT MIGHTY ACROMEGALUS PHILISTINE

  4. Good job.
    I believe your taste in music would be called eclectic.
    My taste on the other hand has become more and more restricted as
    I am caught in a time bubble.


  5. On this day our Lord was crucified. This event was re-enacted today on the streets of Barbados.

    It’s a pity that GP is not allowed to pass comment on such a significant day in the Christian calendar.


  6. Murdaaah! Dem actually SEARCH fuh a white looking Jesus to crucify!!!!

    BUT de criminals next to him were allowed to be BLACK!!!!!

    I am beginning to see with Pachamama and de Miller!

    THIS IS A BRAINWASHING ABOMINATION! DOING MORE HARM THAN GOOD!

    MURDAAAH!

    Reminds me of Jesus Christ Superstar where the only black of the twelve was JUDAS!


    • @Donna

      If you follow the history it iis the reason Blacks in bondage were disallowed from being formally educated. Keep the people ignorant.


  7. the jury is still out on …. was there a resurrection of a black or white jesus
    That is the question which needs to be answered before race or ethnicity is used to draw blood on racial lines


  8. What jury out what! Fact is that he could not have been white! No native of that area was white.

    The point being made here is that these damn Bajans, blacks included, saw it fit to depict Jesus as white, the Romans white and the thieves black. Why were the thieves not white as well?

    Bullshit!


  9. Do you have the answer to that? I long stopped wondering.

    My point was about the obvious brainwashing of black people that continues to this day to plague their subconscious with dreadful results.

    IF Jesus existed he would not have been white.

    If Jesus existed and was white, was crucified and resurrected, those criminals crucified with him were likely white as well.

    Yet these people searched for a white man to play Jesus, white men to play Romans and assigned the role of criminals to black men.

    QUESTION: What is the takeaway from this?

    ANSWER: WHITE MAN GOOD SAVIOUR, WHITE MAN SMART POWERFUL RULERS, BLACK MAN STUPID CRIMINAL.


  10. Ok ok don’t have to repeat yuhself but focus on the person words and not the color
    Jesus himself said he did not come to divided but to save
    Lawd have mercy
    Cheese on bread


  11. HELL NO!

    That is precisely what the brainwashers want! While they continue with their incidious, mind-controlling imagery!


  12. Then don’t look at them
    Jesus purpose was to take mankind to a higher level of consciousness
    Unfortunately man is stubborn selfish devoid of feelings to any thing that strives to make this world a better place
    Reason why mankind act and behaves like fish swimming in circles in a fish bowl
    So what if Jesus was white does his color take away from his message
    Not at all
    However what we have today are people who made decisions which negates selfish attitudes in the name of Jesus and which will continue to divide people and races for years to come
    Jesus must be crying in his grave
    But all us still not lost and as if he knew what the outcome of present day problems as they apply to people race and color
    His last dying words still hold true
    Father forgive them for they know just what they do


  13. Did Jesus Die to Save Everyone?
    DECEMBER 4, 2013 | Matt Smethurst

    The doctrine of definite atonement is nothing if not controversial. That Jesus died to rescue his bride is a precious truth, one all Christians embrace. But the suggestion he didn’t die to rescue everyone—well, that doesn’t prompt so many hugs. TULIP’s middle petal has a particular tendency to provoke muted embarrassment or yawning indifference, if not visceral rejection. Some say it’s more logical than biblical. Others say it’s too esoteric to be important, or too unloving to be true.


  14. Buddhists believe people are like waves that rise and fall and then disappear back into the sea where they came from when they end one cycle of life. Way to go Buddhists they nailed it.
    Lets hope Georgie Porgie ((pudding and pie) (kissed the girls and made them cry)) has found his inner buddha nature and reached peace within himself.
