Welcome To BARAH MINISTRIES
a Christian Church
For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge (is a critic) the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
All Scripture is God breathed (theoneustos) and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness;// that the man of God may be mature, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.
But know this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture is a matter of one’s own (private) interpretation,//for no prophecy was ever made by an act of human will, but men moved (carried along) by (God) the Holy Spirit spoke (directly) from (the exact thinking of THE) God (the Lord Jesus Christ).
Be diligent (study) to present (to show) yourself approved to God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling (rightly dividing) the word of truth.

OFFERING SONG
He is Exalted
THE LORD’S SUPPER CELEBRATION
Like a Lamb Led Before the Shearers is Silent, He Opened Not His Mouth
“Greater (unconditional) love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends.”
Therefore when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, “It is finished!” And He bowed His head and gave up His spirit.
Who has believed our message? And to whom has the arm (the strength) of the Lord been revealed?
For He (the Lord Jesus Christ) grew up before Him (God the Father) like a tender shoot, and like a root out of parched ground; He has no stately form or majesty that we should look upon Him, nor appearance that we should be attracted to Him.
He (the Lord Jesus Christ) was despised and forsaken of men, a man of sorrows (anguish) and acquainted with grief (suffering); and like one from whom men hide their face He was despised, and we did not esteem Him.
Surely our griefs (the consequences of our sins) He Himself bore (in His own body), and our sorrows (anguish) He carried; yet we ourselves esteemed Him (liking it that He was) stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
But He (the Lord Jesus Christ) was pierced through for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; the chastening for our well-being fell upon Him, and by His scourging we are healed.
All of us like sheep have gone astray (with personal sins), each of us has turned to his own way (and simultaneously away from God’s way); But the Lord (Jesus Christ) has caused the iniquity of us all to fall on Him(self).
BREAK
When I Think About Home
He (the Lord Jesus Christ) was oppressed and He was afflicted, yet He did not open His mouth (to those who opposed Him…he did not defend Himself); like a lamb that is led to slaughter, and like a sheep that is silent before its shearers, so He did not open His mouth.
By oppression (arrest) and judgment (sentencing) He was taken away (led to death on a Cross); and as for His generation (in the prime time of life…at 33), who considered that He was cut off out of the land of the living (He died) for the transgression of my people, to whom the stroke was due?
His grave was assigned with wicked men, yet He was with a rich man (Joseph of Arimathea…John 19:38) in His death, because He had done no violence, nor was there any deceit in His mouth.
But the Lord (God the Father) was pleased to crush Him (the Lord Jesus Christ), putting Him to grief; if He (the Lord Jesus Christ) would render Himself as a guilt offering, He will see His offspring, He will prolong His days (into all eternity), and the good pleasure of the Lord (God the Father) will prosper in His hand.
As a result of the anguish (the suffering) of His soul, He (God the Father) will see it (the Lord’s propitiatory work on the Cross) and be (completely) satisfied; by His (God the Father’s) knowledge the Righteous One (the Lord Jesus Christ), My Servant, will justify the many, as He will bear their iniquities.
Therefore, I (God the Father) will allot Him (the Lord Jesus Christ) a portion (of the spoils) with the great, and He (the Lord Jesus Christ) will divide the booty with the strong (believers in Christ); because He (the Lord Jesus Christ) poured out Himself to death, and was numbered with the transgressors; yet He Himself bore the sin of many, and interceded for the transgressors.
THE LORD’S SUPPER
Enjoying the Element
For I (Paul) received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus (Christ) in the night in which He was betrayed took bread; //and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, “This is (and keeps on being) My body, which is (broken) for you; (keep on) do(ing) this in (the purpose of) remembrance of Me.”
In the same way He (the Lord Jesus Christ) took the cup (representing His death on the Cross) also after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant (testament) in (the sphere of) My blood (in spiritual and physical death); (keep on) do(ing) this, as often as you drink it, in (the purpose of) remembrance of Me.//For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until He comes.”
LORD’S SUPPER SONG
Give Thanks
And according to the (Mosaic) Law, one may almost say, all things are cleansed with blood, and without shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.
For He (God the Father) rescued us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son,//in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.
…and He Himself (the Lord Jesus Christ) bore our sins in His (own) body (in His true humanity) on the Cross, so that we (believers in Christ) might die to (the sovereignty of the) sin (nature) and live to (absolute) righteousness; for by His wounds you were healed.
CLOSING SONG
He Remembers to Forget
“For I know the plans that I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope.”
Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you at the proper time, casting all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you
Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, and to make you stand in the presence of His glory blameless with great joy, to the only God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen.
