    Not The Jesus They Wanted Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jan 10, 2021
    based on 4 ratings
     | 11,439 views

    The crowds were looking for a Christ who would "remain" and lead them into glorious earthly kingdom, but Jesus was talking about being "lifted up" and not being with them forever. The Jesus they wanted wasn't the Jesus they were getting.

    I’m told these were actual answers that children gave in Sunday School: “Noah’s wife was called Joan of Ark.” “The epistles were the wives of the apostles.” “Moses got the 10 Commandments at Mt. Cyanide.” “King Solomon had 700 wives and 300 porcupines.” “The men who followed the Lord were called ...read more

    Say you’re out in the bush somewhere at nighttime. All around it’s very dark, just the murkiness of midnight, and you’re a bit scared. You’re glad you have your flashlight, and glad the moon is shining. And when you come to a hill, and you look out over the treetops, you’re even gladder when you ...read more

    At the very moment when Jewish authorities were plotting to kill Him, Gentiles began to desire His attention. The Greeks who came to Jesus were Gentiles, not Grecian Jews, who had become converts to Judaism.

    -Monday- Jerusalem The Glory of His Sacrifice (Is. 6:10) John 12:20-50 20 Now there were certain Greeks among those who came up to worship at the feast. 21 Then they came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying, “Sir, we wish to see Jesus.” 22 Philip came and told ...read more

    The Gospel of John tells us Isaiah saw Jesus' "glory." When did that happen, and what can it mean to us?

    A preacher was showing his young daughter pictures from a book on famous art. They got to one of the famous paintings of Christ and, not wanting to mislead his child, the preacher gently explained "It's not really Jesus. It’s just an artist's conception of him." The girl looked a ...read more

     | 11,570 views

    What will it be like to see God face-to-face? Isaiah does, and notes a pattern for us: we need to experience God's glory, sense our own unworthiness, receive God's cleansing, and respond to God's call. Then, we walk in fellowship with the God who made us.

    Isaiah 6:1-8 Face-to-Face with Your Maker Prepare to meet your maker! Have you ever wondered what it will be like to see God face-to-face? The ancient prophet Isaiah actually had occasion to do so, and he didn’t die. God gave him a vision that would forever change him. As I looked at Isaiah’s ...read more

    John 12:44-50 says that each person has the choice to follow His word or not. The problem in the church over same-sex marriage is one of those choices. It is difficult for the Preacher to be on one side or the other.

    It is Really Your Choice John 12:37-50 Rev. Dr. Michael H. Koplitz 37 But though He had performed so many signs before them, yet they were not believing in Him. 38 This was to fulfill the word of Isaiah the prophet which he spoke: “LORD, WHO HAS BELIEVED OUR REPORT?

    The power of the cross is so great that we've chosen to make this cross the emblem. We look at that cross and we don't just think about death, we think about life.

    I think there's something inside of all of our hearts that loves superheroes. I think that as I was growing up, I really liked the Old Testament Bible stories of Samson, David, Moses, and Joshua. Those are great stories. I can imagine the Jewish young men growing up, the disciples themselves ...read more
