    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on May 23, 2023
     | 847 views

    The fourth reaction to Jesus’ claims comes from the religious and civil authorities. It paints a clear picture of men in every generation who reject or oppose Jesus. That’s because what Jesus says is tragic for all unbelievers.

    We have been studying the reactions of the people to Jesus’ claims for the past 3 studies. Tonight, we are going to look at a fourth reaction. The fourth reaction to Jesus’ claims comes from the religious and civil authorities. It paints a clear picture of men in every generation who reject or ...read more

    By living a godly life, by rejecting worldliness and letting God transform us, then, and only then can God accomplish His will for our lives.

    Matthew 6:9 "This, then, is how you should pray: " 'Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. In order for God’s Kingdom to COME, His will MUST be done ON EARTH as it is IN HEAVEN. We must do God’s will. In order ...read more

    Jesus, the light of the world, came to give us hope.

    Light To A Dark World Text: Jn. 1:6-13 Introduction 1. Illustration: As Craig T. Kocher in his commentary on our text states, "Christian hope is fundamentally different from optimism. Christian hope locks its steely eyes on the devastation of the world around it, and readily acknowledges that ...read more

    Jesus lifts the broken, the oppressed, the weak, the rejected, and those who trust in Him. His lifting brings healing, honour, and divine promotion. When He lifts a man, no force can bring him down.

    Scripture God called David to be king over his kingdom on earth. God promised David that his throne shall be established forever (cf. 2 Samuel 7:16).

    Doing Things God’s Way (Grace Under Fire) Acts 11:1-18 Intro: Why is it so difficult for men to follow directions?

     | 14,300 views

    Have you ever wondered why God allows some things to happen. God gives us so much, and yet people chose to reject him as Lord and Savior.

    I WILL HAVE MERCY ON WHOM I WILL HAVE MERCY ROMANS 9:1-17 HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED WHY GOD ALLOWS SOME THINGS TO HAPPEN? WHY IS IT THAT HE ALLOWS A MILITANT GROUP LIKE ISIS TO THRIVE IN OUR WORLD?

    Today we see how the faith of a Canaanite woman found expression in the apparent rejection of her by Christ.

    Introductory Considerations 1. The scene before us seems very wrong. The reactions and words of Jesus are not what I would have expected them to be. If I were only able to share one story from His ministry with an unbeliever, surely this is not the one that I would chose, for the impression they ...read more

    When God Turns The Tables Around

     | 41,679 views

    God can step in at anytime to change times, seasons and situations; He can arise and turn the tables around to favour His children.

    Never look down on anyone. The person you look down on today may be the person you have to run to for help tomorrow. The account of Jephthah in Judges 11:1-11 beautifully illustrates this point. Jephthah was born with a stigma. His mother was a prostitute. Even though there was a shroud of ...read more

     | 6,115 views

    Paul shows us why the Israelites rejected the salvation provided by God, and also why the Gentiles received the salvation provided by God.

    Scripture If anyone could ever have achieved salvation by his own effort, it was Martin Luther. In 1505, when he was twenty-one years old, Luther abandoned a promising career in law and entered the monastery of the Augustinian hermits at Erfurt. As he later said, this was not to study academic ...read more

    God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.

    Shepherds – rejected by men, honored by God Last Sunday we talked about Mary. I tried to remove some of the mystique that surrounds her.

    “When God closes a door, he opens a window, but it's up to you to find it. In the meantime, you can praise Him in the hallway.”

    If you never get a no, then you aren’t taking enough chances. But the same areas of the brain become activated when we experience rejection as when we experience physical pain. This is why rejection hurts so much (neurologically speaking). Patience under disappointment is one of the great ...read more
