Jun 2, 2019Interpretations Lead to ExpectationsSeries: Jesus As LordThe Jews interpreted the scriptures as them being on the inside track with God and everyone else was on the outside. This interpretation led them to the expectation that the Messiah would come and conquer their enemies (the Romans) and make them a ruling kingdom here on earth. Are your interpretations and expectations of the Messiah aligned with God’s Word? Luke 4: 14-30; Isaiah 61: 1-2; Isaiah 58: 6; Ephesians 1: 7 (NKJV)

We hope that will not make the same mistakes we did; but when they do make mistakes, we hope that we have taught (modeled) how to repent and ask for forgiveness. Our greatest joy is seeing our children (grandchildren) come to know Jesus as their Savior and accept the gift of Salvation. 3John 1:4 (NKJV)

May 5, 2019God Came for The Whole WorldSeries: Jesus As LordJesus and his disciples begin to baptize believers and John the Baptist’s followers question John about their authority to do so. John says that Jesus’ power was given to Him from Heaven and that He must increase, and that John must decrease. He knew that his ministry was coming to an end as Jesus’ ministry was just beginning. Later we see Jesus in Samaria speaking to a Samaritan women at Jacob’s well. He speaks to her not only of her sin in her personal life, but also of the inaccuracies of her religious and cultural beliefs about the Messiah. John 3:22-John 4:30; Isaiah 11: 1-5 (NKJV) (Tablet video unavailable due to technical difficulties.)

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)
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)
