Jesus The Controversialist Series

Contributed by David Owens on Apr 17, 2023

Mark portrays Jesus as strong and bold as He dealt with spiritual controversies "head on." In this section of Mark, he grouped together four incidents that showed how Jesus faced the controversies and taught the truth. We need to ask ourselves if we are more like Jesus or the Pharisees.

A. Let me begin with a question: when you try to picture Jesus in your mind, how do you picture Him? 1. Do you picture Him being gentle, meek and loving? Certainly, He was all those things. 2. But Jesus also had other characteristics and other sides to Him. 3. When we read the Gospel accounts, ...read more

The fiery furnace. Three men were thrown into the fiery furnace, and yet, there were four walking in the midst of the Fire. Their faith said, “Our GOD is able”, because GOD said, “HE will never leave nor forsake you.” When faced with the fiery furnace, will you contend for the faith, or bow?

Are You Nailed To The Cross? Series

Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Aug 18, 2014

God calls us to surrender four central things in our life because of who He is. We must be willing to give up our self, our security, our success, and our status in order to fully submit and follow Him. So, which are you willing to commit to Him?

Are you nailed to the cross? Mark 8:34-8:38 - Our lives ought to be a living worship of Jesus Christ’s example -- Honestly, I am more and more convinced that we (all) are just not there yet - Jesus warned that not all that called upon Him will enter into the Kingdom -- If you are ...read more

Why Are Jesus' Genealogies In Matthew And Luke Different?

Contributed by Steven W. Satterfield on Mar 21, 2023

From https://zondervanacademic.com/blog/why-are-jesus-genealogies-in-matthew-and-luke-different This post is adapted from the Four Portraits, One Jesus: Jesus’ Birth, Childhood, and Early Ministry, a free online course taught by Dr. Mark Strauss. My notes will be added later.

The birth narratives in both Matthew and Luke help answer the question, “Who is Jesus and where did he come from?” One of the ways each book does this is by recounting Jesus’ genealogy. The problem is: the genealogies are different. The Old Testament predicted that the Messiah would come from the ...read more

Do You Love Him?

Contributed by Boomer Phillips on Mar 9, 2022

Here, we find some of Christ's last words before He ascended into heaven. Jesus asked Peter numerous times if he loved Him. In doing so, He sought to instill within Peter four keys that would help him serve the Lord more effectively.

In John chapter 21, we find some of Jesus’ last words before He ascended to be with His Father in heaven. Jesus was preparing to confer His ministry to Peter; and according to Warren Wiersbe, we see in this passage a threefold commission that was given to him.(1) Jesus wanted to instill within ...read more

Of the four Gospels, Philip figures most prominently in the Gospel of John. Jesus asks Philip how to feed the 5,000 people. Later he appears as a link to the Greek community. Philip bore a Greek name, may have spoken Greek and may have been known to the Greek pilgrims in Jerusalem.
