Though He Fall… (John 13:18-33, 36-38)
Without Christ we are hopefully lost, but with Christ we have a blessed hope. King David wrote, “The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, and He delights in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down; for the Lord upholds him with His hands” (Psalm 37:23-24). ThisContinueContinue reading “Though He Fall… (John 13:18-33, 36-38)”
The Close of Jesus’ Public Ministry (John 12:12-50)
https://www.youtube.com/live/8TX02Q_V_3A?si=TBpHuZTJ8Me9NJGy&t=2813 Everything Jesus did and said was intentional. Paul told us, “when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as sons” (Gal 4:4-5). At the beginning of Jesus’ publicContinueContinue reading “The Close of Jesus’ Public Ministry (John 12:12-50)”
Jesus is Anointed (John 12:1-8)
https://www.youtube.com/live/UvHvsRoO92Q?si=RXX8HWDCC-7HXnNd&t=3121 Jesus performed many signs to show that He is the Christ, the Son of God. The crowds, however, were confused about Him: His identity and His mission. Who is He? Is He the Messiah? Is He the King who will free us from Roman occupation? Is He a madman? Is He a blasphemer whoContinueContinue reading “Jesus is Anointed (John 12:1-8)”
The Prophecy of Caiaphas (John 11:46-57)
https://www.youtube.com/live/7jhidYT7984?si=kNmYi2UWOs3c3jaF&t=2570 In the Old Covenant, the high priest was the supreme religious figure in Israel. He oversaw the functions of all the priests and was chosen by God. Hebrews 5:1 says, “For every high priest taken from among men is appointed for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts andContinueContinue reading “The Prophecy of Caiaphas (John 11:46-57)”
Blessed are the Peacemakers (Matthew 5:9)
https://www.youtube.com/live/Tw50V46i-6A?si=tW0VICPesn-lP5Sl&t=2342 Conflict is unavoidable. Everyone, at some time or another, will be embroiled in conflict. Conflict may mean anything from harsh words to loss of property or life. A clear sign of Christian maturity is not how well you avoid conflict, but how you respond to conflict. Ken Sande, author of The Peacemaker, said: PhotoContinueContinue reading “Blessed are the Peacemakers (Matthew 5:9)”
The Good Shepherd: Part 2 (John 10:22-30)
https://www.youtube.com/live/3zROcnd7J5k?feature=share&t=2060 Approximately 2 months after the Feast of Tabernacles (Sept-Oct) was the Feast of Dedication (Nov-Dec). The Feast of Dedication, also known as Hanukkah, commemorated the liberation and rededication of the Temple in 164 BC. It is still observed by many Jews. Jesus was at the Temple for the Feast of Dedication when the JewishContinueContinue reading “The Good Shepherd: Part 2 (John 10:22-30)”
Who Do You Think You Are? (John 8:48-59)
https://www.youtube.com/live/uoJVcVqvPWo?feature=share&t=2531 We pick back up in John 8:48-59 with Jesus’ confrontation with the Jews regarding His identity (and teaching). Rather than de-escalate the argument, Jesus refuses to back down. What has Jesus claimed? He claimed to be sent by God to earth (7:28). He claimed that His teaching is from God (7:16). He claimed thatContinueContinue reading “Who Do You Think You Are? (John 8:48-59)”
Will You Die in Your Sins? (John 8:12-30)
If you die without Christ, you will die in your sins and what awaits you is torment and everlasting damnation. Jesus proclaimed: “I am the light of the world, whoever believes in Me shall never walk in darkness but will have the light of life” (John 8:12). The Pharisees responded by arguing with Him. TheyContinueContinue reading “Will You Die in Your Sins? (John 8:12-30)”
The Light of the World (John 8:12)
https://www.youtube.com/live/baqMzeKFa58?feature=share&t=2380 In the Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien, Gollum presents a riddle to Bilbo. He said, “It cannot be seen, cannot be felt, cannot be heard, cannot be smelt, It lies behind stars and under hills, and empty holes it fills, it comes first and follows after, ends life, kills laughter.” Can you guess what theContinueContinue reading “The Light of the World (John 8:12)”
