Hymn
All the Way My Savior Leads Me
^{Fanny Crosby}

All the way my Savior leads me.
What have I to ask beside?
Can I doubt his tender mercy,
Who thru’ life has been my Guide?
Heav’nly peace, divinest comfort,
Here by faith in him to dwell!
For I know, whate’er befall me,
Jesus fashions all things well.
For I know, whate’er befall me,
Jesus fashions all things well.

All the way my Savior leads me,
Cheers each winding path I tread;
Gives me grace for ev’ry trial,
Feeds me with the living Bread.
Tho’ my weary steps may falter,
And my soul athirst may be,
Gushing from the Rock before me,
Lo! A spring of joy I see.
Gushing from the Rock before me,
Lo! A spring of joy I see.

All the way my Savior leads me;
Oh, the fullness of His love!
Perfect rest to me is promised
In my Father’s house above.
When my spirit, cloth’d immortal,
Wings its flight to realms of day
This my song thru’ endless ages:
Jesus led me all the way.
This my song thru’ endless ages:
Jesus led me all the way.

Scripture Reading
Genesis 11:1-9

Now the whole world had one language and a common speech. ²As people moved eastward, they found a plain in Shinar and settled there.

³They said to each other, “Come, let’s make bricks and bake them thoroughly.” They used brick instead of stone, and tar for mortar. ⁴Then they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves; otherwise we will be scattered over the face of the whole earth.”

⁵But the Lord came down to see the city and the tower the people were building. ⁶The Lord said, “If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. ⁷Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other.”

⁸So the Lord scattered them from there over all the earth, and they stopped building the city. ⁹That is why it was called Babel—because there the Lord confused the language of the whole world. From there the Lord scattered them over the face of the whole earth.

Hymn
There Shall Be Showers of Blessing
^{D. W. Whittle}

There shall be showers of blessing:
This is the promise of love;
There shall be seasons refreshing,
Sent from the Savior above.

Showers of blessing,
Showers of blessing we need:
Mercy-drops round us are falling,
But for the showers we plead.

There shall be showers of blessing,
Precious reviving again;
Over the hills and the valleys,
Sound of abundance of rain. [Refrain]

There shall be showers of blessing:
Send them upon us, O Lord;
Grant to us now a refreshing,
Come and now honor Thy Word. [Refrain]

There shall be showers of blessing:
Oh, that today they might fall,
Now as to God we’re confessing,
Now as on Jesus we call! [Refrain]

Scripture Reading
Genesis 9:1-29

And God said, “This is the sign of the covenant I am making between me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come: ¹³I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth. ¹⁴Whenever I bring clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds, ¹⁵I will remember my covenant between me and you and all living creatures of every kind. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life. ¹⁶Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth.”

¹⁷So God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the covenant I have established between me and all life on the earth.”

Message
The Promise of Blessing After Judgment

▣ Introduction
Trials, tribulations, suffering, and disasters all contain God’s good plan. Therefore, if we are victorious in faith, we will come to know God’s will and receive His blessings.

▣ Main

2) Ge 9:2 He gave all of creation into their hands.
3) Ge 9:4-7 Prohibiting the eating of anything with lifeblood, He promised to give them everything and conquer all.

2. God gave an eternal promise to Noah and his future generations.
1) He gave the promise to Noah, his family, and their future generations (Ge 9:8-9).
2) He blessed all the animals that came out of the ark (Ge 9:10).
3) He established the promise of the rainbow (Ge 9:11-17).
(1) He promised He would never judge the world with a flood again (Ge 9:11).
(2) He promised this would be the sign of the covenant for all generations to come (Ge 9:12).
(3) The covenant of the rainbow was God’s covenant with the world (Ge 9:13).

3. Noah’s mistake and Ham’s greater mistake (Ge 9:20-29)
1) Noah made a mistake (Ge 9:20-21).
(1) Noah planted a vineyard.
(2) He became drunk and lay uncovered in his tent.
2) Ham committed a greater mistake (Ge 9:22).
(1) Ham saw his father naked and told his two brothers outside.
(2) Ham was therefore cursed (Ge 9:25).
(3) The reason: The one who relayed the Word in that age was Noah. Ham lost hold of this and reached a state where he could no longer receive the Word of God. This ultimately led to the Gospel being cut off.
3) Shem and Japheth received the blessing (Ge 9:23).
(1) Shem and Japheth walked in backward and covered their father’s naked body.
(2) 1 Pe 3:8-12 He commanded us to be like-minded, sympathetic, loving to one another, compassionate, and humble. Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult, but on the contrary, repay evil with blessing.

▣ Conclusion – Absolute sovereignty, absolute plan, absolute covenant, absolute journey, absolute goal

There is always God’s absolute plan and a historic blessing behind tribulations and suffering. In the midst of all trials and difficulties, we must always believe in God’s absolute sovereignty and seek His absolute plan. At this time, you will be able to see God’s absolute covenant and go on the absolute journey of covenant fulfillment. With this, you will stand in the place that saves all people and fulfills God’s absolute goal.

After the Fall

Regional Worship Service
January 25, 20-26
Scripture: Genesis 3:7-9

What happened to human beings after the fall? You must first understand this: the fall mentioned in the Bible does not refer to simple ethical misconduct. Being cut off from God is the definition of the fall, which is also called sin and evil. While the world views sin as an action, the Bible defines sin as leaving or not believing in God. You must interpret good and evil through this lens.

The world’s standards are based on human righteousness, but according to the Bible, knowing and believing in God is good, while not believing in Him is evil. Being cut off from God means falling into a state of sin where a person lives only for “bread” or physical survival. Because physical needs are never fully within our control, this life is defined by constant worry. In this state, people turn to religion, but religion without the Gospel becomes an idol—a “Satanic bartizan” or stronghold within them. Even kind, diligent, and law-abiding people possess this internal stronghold, making them children of the devil who are subject to “Satan 25.”

My prayer is a constant confession: “God is my strength, my shield, and my help in times of trouble. He is my mountain fortress, my focal point, my light, and my salvation. He is my Shepherd, my bartizan, and my everything. I look only to Him.” God is our refuge because no place in the world is truly safe. While money and science have power, the name of Jehovah is the ultimate strength and the shield that blocks Satan’s attacks.

Continual confession leads to “only” and “concentration.” We focus “only” on the fact that Jesus is the Christ and concentrate on the throne rather than the problem. This is what we call “Gospel 24” and “Prayer 24.” This leads to “25”—the power of the kingdom of God from the throne—which allows us to save the field, the people, and future generations.

God opened the way to the throne when Jesus died and the veil of the sanctuary was torn. This is the living way for those who believe. However, if our internal Satanic bartizan is stronger than our focus on God, we cannot walk this path. Confessing that “Jehovah is my strength” is an admission that I am nothing and that only God can help me. When I look at my own abilities, I lose strength; when I look to the Lord, I am restored. I encourage you to set aside time in the morning, day, and night to experience this.

Currently, many churches have fallen into the trap of praying only for money and food. We must recognize the signs of the fall within ourselves—the hindrances that stop us from going toward God. The fall began with one man, Adam, but Jesus completed the work to reverse it. In Genesis, we see the first signs of the fall: Adam and Eve avoided God, hid, and were filled with fear. This same pattern appears today when people attend church forcibly or look for ways to escape worship.

The fall also leads to shifting responsibility. Adam blamed the woman, and the woman blamed the serpent. This pettiness and blame-shifting dominate our world and even occur within the church when people judge others. This happens because humans are born into this state. According to Hebrews 2:15, those without Christ live as slaves to the power of death held by the devil, regardless of their education or social status.

The consequences of the fall are evident. The serpent was cursed above all livestock. Though it may have once been an animal familiar to humans, it became a chilling figure that people now instinctively dislike or, strangely, worship as an idol. The woman was given the pain of childbirth, and Adam was told the ground was cursed because of him, requiring hard labor for survival. They were expelled from Eden, and a flaming sword now guards the entrance, signifying that no human can restore paradise or find true happiness on earth through their own success.

We should not envy those in this state or compromise our faith to match their whims. Through the principle of representation, we were all born as descendants of Adam—spiritually cursed and separated from God. Just as we cannot change our biological lineage by choice, we cannot change our spiritual state through effort. The only way is to die and be born again. When we believe in Jesus, our “old self” dies on the cross, and we are reborn as children of God with a new status, authority, and mission.

Adam’s sin became everyone’s sin, and through him, death reigned. Romans 3:23 reminds us that everyone is a sinner from birth. Under the devil’s influence, people are told they can be their own masters or become like God, but this only reinforces their status as servants to the devil. This is the fundamental spiritual problem and the cause of all visible problems and unhappiness. No human method can solve this.

God came to earth as Jesus to solve this fundamental problem. This work is “the Christ,” which is the Gospel—the only good news for humanity. When we share this truth, the Holy Spirit provides wisdom and moves hearts. This is the essence of world evangelization. We must continually enjoy this blessing. It is by God’s grace alone that we have discovered this and become people of prayer. I bless you to truly enjoy the blessings of the throne.

Jesus is the Only Way to solve these fundamental problems. As the True King, He fulfills the promise of Genesis 3:15: “He will crush your head, and you will strike his heel,” destroying the authority of Satan. As the True Priest, He fulfilled Mark 10:45: “the Son of Man… to give his life as a ransom for many,” solving the problem of sin and curses. As the True Prophet, He declares in John 14:6: “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me,” meeting the need for humans to meet God again.

Prayer. God, we thank You for making us be saved. Thank You for making us know the gospel of Jesus. We thank You for the grace of making us escape from the state of the fall. We lived as children of Adam, but we thank You for making us children of God. Please make us know why this world is perishing. Please let us speak the answer to people who are perishing without even knowing the reason. Please let us enjoy the status and authority of God. Please let us enjoy life and mission. Please let us go toward the throne every day through the Word and prayer. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
