WELCOME TO BARAH MINISTRIES
What then shall we say that Abraham, our forefather according to the flesh, has found (in the past)?
For if (1) Abraham was justified (declared righteous) by works (and for the sake of argument, let’s assume this lie is true), he (Abraham) has something to boast about (perhaps before men), but not before God.
For what does the Scripture say? “ABRAHAM BELIEVED (in) GOD (in Jehovah Elohim…the Lord Jesus Christ in His pre-incarnate state…by expressing faith alone in Christ alone), AND IT (this faith) WAS CREDITED TO HIM (and imputed to his account) AS (ABSOLUTE) RIGHTEOUSNESS.”
Now to the one who works, his wage (that is paid to him) is not credited as a favor, but (his wage is earned) as what is due.
But to the one who does not work, but believes in Him (the Lord Jesus Christ) who justifies the ungodly (unbelievers), his (this person’s) faith is credited as (absolute) righteousness (in grace)…

THE OFFERING
Deacon Elliott Clark
Barah Ministries Financial PolicyNo price appears on any material from Barah Ministries so that anyone who desires biblical teaching may have it free of charge.
“Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends.”
Remember to give with the motivation suggested in Scripture
Each one must do just as he has purposed in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful (grace oriented) giver.

Run to You
THE LORD’S SUPPER
Unconditional Love is Given to Us When We are at Our Worst
Therefore when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, “It is finished!” And He bowed His head and gave up His spirit.
“Cease striving and know that I am God…”
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ…
The one who does not love (unconditionally) does not know God, for God is (unconditional) love.
For He (God the Father) rescued us (as unbelievers) from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son (the Lord Jesus Christ),//in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.
“Greater (unconditional) love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends.”
THE LORD’S SUPPER
Enjoying the Elements
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

BREAK
When I Think About Home
Therefore, having been justified by (means of) faith (by being legally declared by God to be in the sphere of God’s absolute righteousness in the (established as an irrevocable fact in the past), we (believers in Christ now) have peace with God (the Father) through our Lord Jesus Christ…
a
…(the Lord Jesus Christ) through whom also (additionally) we have obtained our introduction (our direct access to God) by (means of our) faith (that we expressed in the past, at the moment of salvation) into this (sphere of) grace in which we stand (right now)…
b
…and we (believers in Christ) exult (with inward confidence) in (the future) hope (the confident expectation) of the glory of God.
And not only this (peace, this sphere of grace in which to stand, and this hope of glory), but we (believers in Christ) also exult in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance;//and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope…
…and hope does not disappoint (put us to shame), because the (unconditional) love of God (the Father) has been poured out within our hearts through (God) the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
For while we were still (and even though we were) helpless (condemned to the Lake of Fire from the point of our physical birth…unable to achieve our own salvation), at the right time (in due time…the Lord Jesus) Christ died for the ungodly (spiritually dead unbelievers).
For one will hardly (rarely) die for a righteous (good) man; though perhaps for the good man someone would dare even to (be brave enough) die.
But God (the Father) demonstrates His own love toward us (all mankind), in that while we were yet sinners (as “strengthless” unbelievers), (the Lord Jesus) Christ died for us.
