Holy Spirit

By Admin | Date: | Categories: 2024, Basic, Sermon | Tags: , , , , | Sermon Series: Holidays, Holiness

We need to stand up and speak up for what is right. We need the Holy Spirit to empower us as witnesses of Jesus in a world where a small segment of society, which has been given the megaphone of the media, will try to shout us down. When we come out of an upper room experience after a powerful Sunday morning worship service, we need to go out speaking the wonderful works of God. We need to take it to the streets without fear or intimidation because we have not been given “a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind” (2 Timothy 1:7).

They confessed that Jesus is Christ, meaning that they believed Jesus was the Messiah, but like all Jews, they also knew that Malachi said that before Messiah appeared with healing in His wings, Elijah would come first. So, they asked, “Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?” They did not yet understand that John had come in the spirit and power of Elijah.

God Still Answers by Fire

Elijah was sitting on the top of a hill. He probably saw the soldiers coming from miles away, but he did not run or hide because he was not afraid. It’s true that Elijah had gone through a valley depression, but it is also true that he came out the other side of that valley and now he’s back on the mountain.

The Great Exchange

The Apostle Paul was dealing with people who were saying they believed in Jesus as Messiah, and saying they believed He died for their sins, yet they insisted that certain elements of the Law of Moses should be retained as necessary for salvation.  These people were called Judaizers, and they included both Jewish people and Gentiles that had converted to Judaism.  For the Judaizers, Christ alone was just not enough.

POWER IN THE NAME OF JESUS

Jesus had been teaching His disciples for over a year at this point, and by all accounts, they were zealous for Him.  Yet, surprisingly, even after all their time with Jesus they still had much to learn.  Even Jesus seemed shocked at times that they were so slow to understand (Mk 8:17).  For example, in our text, we see that they were quick to condemn those who were not members of their cadre of disciples.  However, Jesus pointed out that they should not dismiss or condemn others that are ministering in His name.

The Power of God’s Love

By Admin | Date: | Categories: 2020, Basic, Sermon | Tags: , , , | Sermon Series: 1 John - Knowing The God of Love

Love is a topic of much discussion in movies, books, TV, songs, and poetry, but the concept itself has become so diluted and polluted in the English language that “love” has lost much of its meaning. For example, it is not unusual to hear someone say they love pizza in one breath, and then tell their spouse that they love them in the next breath. Furthermore, love is not merely emotion but it is a decision, or John could not instruct us to love one another. Love in its purest form, is not selfish or self-seeking and it does not come and go or rise and falls like waves on the ocean. In Scripture love is powerful, persuasive, and persevering. Ultimately, true love comes from God, overcomes fear, turns enemies into friends, and moves us to selfless acts of kindness and compassion.
