You Must Be Born Again
Series: Jesus As Lord
Nicodemus approached Jesus one night to learn more about Him. Jesus told him that the only way to get to Heaven was to be born again. The first century Jews were no stranger to the phrase “born again”, but it had different meanings to them and there were six ways to be born again for the Jews. However, none of them included the spiritual birth of which Jesus spoke. John 2: 23-3:21; 1 John 4:6; Numbers 21:4-9 (NKJV)

Mar 17, 2019The Approval of the King-Part 8 (The Best for Last)Series: Jesus As LordJohn 2 starts out with the beginning of Jesus’ ministry at a wedding feast. It is here that Jesus performs the first miracle of His ministry-changing water into wine. The host ran out of wine. It normally takes three days of fermentation for grape juice to become wine. However, Jesus was able to instantaneously change water into wine in order to manifest God’s glory and for the disciples to believe in Him (vs.11). And the wine He created was the best wine (vs. 10). God often uses everyday stuff in our lives to bring out His truths. John 2:1-11; Mark 7:1-3 (NKJV)

Mar 3, 2019The Approval of the King-Part 6Series: Jesus As LordWe continue the study of Jesus as Lord. Today we look at Jesus’ baptism and his time in the wilderness immediately following. Jesus’ baptism was a declaration of who He truly is. Afterwards, Jesus went into the wilderness where He faced Satan and temptation. We can draw a parallel with our own lives as Christians. After we are saved, we make a declaration of our salvation through baptism. It is then that Satan pretty much declares war on us and we face our time in the wilderness. Matthew 3:16-4:11, Mark 1:12-13; 1 John 2:1-2; 1Peter 5:8-9; James 4:7 (NKJV)

By understanding their thoughts, we can be more effective when witnessing to our Jewish and/or Muslim friends. We can understand why the Jews had such a difficult time understanding that Jesus was the Messiah.

Jan 27, 2019The Approval of the King-Part 1Series: Jesus As LordPastor Mike will be preaching a series of sermons dealing with authenticating Jesus as Lord. This is the first of that series. As we learn about Jesus’ purpose and ministry, it helps to understand the Jewish culture mindset at that time. In this sermon, we look at the origin of the Scribes, Pharisees and Saducees. These groups put up walls around God’s laws that became obstacles to really knowing and following His Word. Are there obstacles in your lives to knowing and following Jesus? Mark 7:5 (NKJV)
