The Significance of Proverbs 6:16-19, by Tim Martens
Love is personified in God, thankfully, and there is not doubt to that as expressed by the word of God (1 John 4, verse 8), and, yet, God clearly does not love certain behaviors. We, too, should disregard those behaviors and work to counter them with other godly qualities.

Why Are We Here?, by Tim Martens
Desire, Relief, and Rejoicing describe our motivation to keep the Days of Unleavened Bread. But why does God specify SEVEN days of unleavened bread? For the answer we look to the Bible to see how the story of Joshua and the Battle of Jericho parallel our own future as we journey into the Promised Land.

The Holy City, Offered by Kelly Irvin
The Holy City
Music: Sephen Adams 1844-1913
Words: Frederick E. Weatherly 1848-1929
Accompaniment: Erling Jan Sørensen
Vocal: Kelly Irvin
Lyrics
Last night I lay a sleeping
There came a dream so fair,
I stood in old Jerusalem
Beside the temple there.
I heard the children singing,
And ever as they sang
Methought the voice of angels
From heaven in answer rang,
Methought the voice of angels
From heaven in answer rang.
Jerusalem! Jerusalem!
Lift up your gates and sing,
Hosanna in the highest!
Hosanna to your King!
And then methought my dream was changed,
The streets no longer rang.
Hushed were the glad Hosannas
The little children sang.
The sun grew dark with mystery,
The morn was cold and chill,
As the shadow of a cross arose
Upon a lonely hill,
As the shadow of a cross arose
Upon a lonely hill.
Jerusalem! Jerusalem!
Hark! How the angels sing,
Hosanna in the highest!
Hosanna to your King!
And once again the scene was changed,
New earth there seemed to be.
I saw the Holy City
Beside the tideless sea.
The light of God was on its streets,
The gates were open wide,
And all who would might enter,
And no one was denied.
No need of moon or stars by night,
Or sun to shine by day;
It was the new Jerusalem
That would not pass away,
It was the new Jerusalem
That would not pass away.
Jerusalem! Jerusalem!
Sing for the night is o'er!
Hosanna in the highest!
Hosanna forever more!
Hosanna in the highest!
Hosanna forever more!
