     | 7,842 views

    How God tells you to live is infinitely more important than how others think you should live! This is what Pharisees couldn't grasp. The challenge for us also is: Do not get a big head about it and become arrogant and/or unteachable.

    Sin … It’s a Heart Problem! Mark 7:8-23, 1 John 1:8-10 Introduction - Jesus is demonstrated in this book as a “servant” -- Key verse: Mark 10:45, “For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for ...read more

    If the X-factor is about uniqueness then remember that the birth of Jesus was unlike any other birth and Jesus was unlike any other baby who came into the world.

    Its finally almost here – after weeks and weeks of waiting, after weeks and weeks of eager anticipation, after weeks and weeks where the excitement has grown and grown, after weeks of hype - It’s finally so close you can almost taste the excitement in the air. Of course you all know what I’m ...read more

    Jesus gives us the profile of a legalist.

    Last time, we looked at verses 37-44 at the profile of a hypocrite given by Jesus in response to a criticism from a Pharisee. After Jesus finished addressing the Pharisee, the scribes pointed out He had also insulted them. Jesus basically responded by saying, “If the shoe fits wear it!” Jesus ...read more

    Plan for prayer. We need both team players (working together), and team prayers (praying together). Get to a vantage point and know where the needs are. Do not stop praying until the battle is over. Victory comes through prayer.

It was Israel’s first battle. • They met the Amalekites at Rephidim. • Joshua commanded the forces of Israel, while Moses, Aaron and Hur went up on the mountain to pray. • Moses had the rod of God in his hands. The encounter was a dramatic see-saw of prayer power. • ...read more
