Accepting Jesus means accepting what He really is and what He wants to do

My wife used to work at Wal-Mart. One of the stories of Wal-Mart lore that used to circulate around there concerned the day that Sam Walton, the owner of the whole enterprise, visited one of his stores. Even though he was wealthy, Walton was known for his simplicity. He drove an old red pickup ...read more

God’s love knows no bounds. The audience in the synagogue was ok hearing about God’s love so long as it met with their expectations. When Jesus talked about how God’s love reaches out to even the Gentiles, people in the synagogue got upset.

BOUNDLESS LOVE Text: Luke 4:21 – 30 There is the story of a preacher whose preaching met with comments of affirmation praise when he spoke about certain sins, like gossip, drinking, lying, cheating, stealing. With the mention of each and every sin, there were people who ...read more

Fulfilling The Prophets

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Aug 5, 2021

| 3,526 views

Jesus' Deity is confirmed by His fulfillment of many of the Old Testament prophecies about the coming Messiah. However, He did not fulfill them all and that was on purpose. The fulfillment of some of the prophecies is yet to come, and, they WILL be fulfilled.

Fulfilling the Prophets Please stand with me as we go over our current memory Scripture: Matthew 5:9-12 “Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

The Beatitudes are a beautiful picture of the character of Christ and of consecrated Christians. Why would such a lifestyle depicted in the first seven beatitudes provoke persecution rather than admiration and esteem?

Intro In our study of the Beatitudes, we come to the eighth beatitude. It is recorded in Matthew 5:10: “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”i The reward declared in this final beatitude is the same as declared in the first ...read more

Embracing Grace

Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Apr 2, 2022

| 3,262 views

The vast majority of people do not "accept" Christ (Luke 4:24) but refuse the "favor" (grace) He offers (v. 19). God has sent Christ to offer His grace. We must embrace the grace offered in Christ. Luke shows us how.

There’s a key word in this passage that I would like to point out. It is not obvious in the English, so it’s a bit tricky. But the word ‘favor’ in verse 19 and the word ‘acceptable’ in verse 24 render the same Greek word, which is dektos. In fact, in the King James Version it is translated ...read more

Contributed by John Williams Iii on Mar 11, 2022

| 3,217 views

Now if love is supposed to be the greatest, and it is, then why did Jesus’s preaching about love in Luke 4:21 -30 provoke those in the congregation so badly? It provoked them so badly, that they wanted to throw Him off a cliff!

LOVE WITHOUT LIMITS Text: I Corinthians 13:1- 13 1 Corinthians 13:1-13 If I speak in the tongues of mortals and of angels, but do not have love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. (2) And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I ...read more

The home coming of Jesus is similar to a 25th or 50th class reunion. Old playmates wanted demonstrations in their village, not the message of salvation. Leonard Sweet said: “Jesus is on earth today but not as an individual. He is here in the form of the “ekklesia”, the church.
