Hi there!

 

Welcome to Barah Ministries…a Christian Church based in Mesa, AZ…my name is Pastor Rory Clark.

 

Often, we hear the truth of the Word of God expressed by a Pastor as he teaches it.   Songs also do a great job of communicating the truth of the Word of God.  Here at Barah Ministries, we are blessed to have one of the best songwriters, best singers, and best music producers, all wrapped up in a single package.  Her name is June Murphy…and her songs are amazing at communicating the truth of the Word of God.

 

Well so far, if you’ve been listening to theses lessons in order, you’ve heard all ten songs of June’s first album…which is entitled, “You Own Me.” June wrote and produced those songs before she came to Barah Ministries. 

 

Now it’s time to hear her first Barah Ministries album.  Today’s song is…

 

TODAY’S SONG

WHOSOEVER

 

That’s a powerful word in Scripture.  Whosoever.  And it is part of one of the most popular and easily recognized verses from Scripture…John, Chapter 3, Verse 16…

 

JOHN 3:16

“For God the Father loved the world unconditionally…and He loved all mankind so much…that He gave His uniquely born Son (the Lord Jesus Christ), that WHOSOEVER believes in Him shall not perish, but instead will have eternal life.”

 

WHOSOEVER.

 

It’s an inclusive word.  It means, simply, ‘whatever person.”  God invites whoever wants it, to a free gift called salvation.  If you are lost, God can rescue you.  You can be saved.  Luke, Chapter 15, Verses 4 and 5…

 

LUKE 15:4

“What man among you, if he has a hundred sheep and has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine sheep in the open pasture and go after the one sheep which is lost until he finds it?”

 

LUKE 15:5

“When he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing.”

 

That is God’s attitude toward all of you who are lost.  He wants to find you, and He wants to save you.

WHOSOEVER

June Murphy

 

Let’s hear June Murphy sing about the “so great” salvation you are invited to have as a free gift, with no work whatsoever on your part, when God finds you…the song is WHOSOEVER.

 

WHOSOEVER

 

Our God so loved the world

That He gave His One and Only Son

That whosoever will believe

Eternal victory is already won

 

WHOSOEVER

 

The Lord Jesus went to the Cross, yes He did

Dying voluntarily

And He says, “No one comes to the Father...”

“But by believing in Me”

 

WHOSOEVER

 

Come taste and see…salvation’s free

If in Christ you believe

Whosoever believes in Him

Whosoever believes in Him

Whosoever believes in Him

Is unified with Christ

And he has eternal life.

 

WHOSOEVER

 

The Father, Spirit, Son, work as One

So all men can be saved

It’s a choice you have to make, no mistake

Salvation’s road is paved

 

WHOSOEVER

 

The Lord Jesus died for you…yes it’s true

On a Cross…it’s plain to see

And He says, “No one comes to the Father...”

“But by believing in Me”

 

WHOSOEVER

 

Come taste and see…salvation’s free

If in Christ you believe

Whosoever believes in Him

Whosoever believes in Him

Whosoever believes in Him

Is unified with Christ

And he has eternal life.

 

 

 

 

WHOSOEVER

 

Christ died for the sins of the whole world

The sin nature was crucified, too

Oh so once you become a believer

The old self has no power over you

 

WHOSOEVER

 

Your position in Christ and your salvation

You didn’t earn it…and it you can’t lose

But if you choose not to believe in the Deity of Christ

The Lake of Fire is waiting for you

 

WHOSOEVER

 

For whosoever believes in Him (He paid the price)

Whosoever believes in Him (He offers life)

Whosoever believes in Him

Is unified with Christ and he has eternal life

 

WHOSOEVER

 

(For God so loved the world)

For God so loved the world

(For God so loved the world)

That whosoever can believe

 

WHOSOEVER

 

(For God so loved the world)

For God so loved the world

(Gave His Son)

(For God so loved the world)

That whosoever…whosoever can believe

(Gave His Son)

 

Luke, Chapter 15, Verses 4 to 7…

 

LUKE 15:4

“What man among you, if he has a hundred sheep and has lost one of them, does not

leave the ninety-nine in the open pasture and go after the one which is lost until he finds it?”

 

LUKE 15:5

“When he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing.”

 

LUKE 15:6

“And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost!’”

 

LUKE 15:7

“I tell you that in the same way, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance.”

 

We dedicate the closing moments of our lesson today to anyone watching or

anyone listening who is lost…who does not have a relationship with the One and Only God, the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  John, Chapter 3, Verse 36 says…

 

JOHN 3:36

He who believes in the Son (the Lord Jesus Christ) has eternal life (the resurrection life, right at that moment); but he who does not obey the command to believe in the Son will not see the resurrection life, but instead the wrath of God the Father (the Lake of Fire) abides on him.”

 

John, Chapter 3, Verse 17 says…

 

JOHN 3:17

For God the Father did not send the Son (the Lord Jesus Christ) into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him.

 

Right now, you can tell God the Father that you believe in His Son, and that’s the

moment of eternal life for you.  Believing in the Lord Jesus Christ is the best, and most important decision you can make in your lifetime.  Five simple words get you to heaven…“Father, I believe in Christ.”  For a thief being crucified next to Jesus, it was a nine word request…Luke, Chapter 23, Verses 42 and 43…

 

LUKE 23:42-43

And the repentant thief was saying, “Jesus, remember me when You come in Your kingdom!”// And Jesus said to him, “Truly I say to you, today you shall be with Me in Paradise.”

 

Let today be the day you stop putting off the best decision of your life.  Make the decision right now.  Be one of the “whosoevers” that accepts the free gift of eternal life paid for on your behalf by the Lord Jesus Christ at the Cross.  You won’t ever regret believing in the Lord Jesus Christ and counting on Him to accomplish your salvation.
