    Which Jesus?

    Contributed by Paul Barreca on Mar 28, 2013
     | 4,565 views

    The burial of Christ confronts us with the clear reality of his death and resurrection. The burial of Christ ensures that we accept the historicity of his death and resurrection.

    The gospel is summarized in 1 Corinthians 15:3-4. The Apostle Paul writes, “For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,” (1 ...read more

    The nature and importance of the sign of Jonah and its meaning to the modern Christian.

    The Sign of Jonah Matt. 12:38-40 INTRO.: The Jewish leaders confronted Jesus demanding “a sign.” by this they meant some miraculous event attesting to the truth of what He said. This is not the first such request. Jesus had already performed miracles. He had, for instance, healed a man’s withered ...read more

    True Inculturation And The Liturgy Series

    Authentic inculturation means that we Christianize the culture in which we live.

    18 July 2011 The Spirit of the Liturgy I recall from grade school days when some particularly hard-hearted kid wanted to get under my skin, he would say “Prove it!” to anything I might advance. We see this in the Hebrews fleeing from Egypt. They trusted Moses until they got into a ...read more

     | 14,450 views

    In today’s lesson we see, first, the request for a sign (that Jesus prove that he is the Messiah, the Son of God, and the Savior of sinners), and second, the response of Jesus.

    Scripture Today is Easter Sunday, the day that the Christian Church around the world celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. Two thousand years ago Jesus was born in Bethlehem. Jesus knew that his life mission was “to seek and to save the lost” (Luke 19:10). He knew that he was ...read more

    It’s Time To Stop Pretending Series

     | 12,285 views

    We are more like the Pharisees than we would like to admit - hiding our true selves from others and from God and blaming external things for the consequences of our own behavior. But Jesus offers real hope if we will open up to Him in relationship.

    The act of projection involves blaming things outside of yourself for your problems. The act of denying personal responsibility means it is the fault of your spouse, your boss, the government, the weather, or even that tool you were using. The Pharisees were masters at projection, and as it turns ...read more

    What Bible study will do

    A. INTRODUCTION: WHAT BIBLE STUDY WILL DO 1. Before examining what Bible study will do for you, ask, “Why people don’t study Scriptures.” a. Not know what it offers. “Have ye not read the law?” (Matt. 12:4). b. Blinded. “They couldn’t believe, as Isaiah said . . . God has blinded their eyes . ...read more

    When we listen to and obey our Lord Jesus we are received into a new spiritual family.

    THE NEED FOR SPIRITUAL CHANGE. Matthew 12:22-50. The spiritual blindness of the people opposed to Jesus is demonstrated in their reaction to His good works. Their refusal to hear His message is echoed in their speaking out against Him. A demon-possessed man, who was physically both blind and ...read more

     | 9,705 views

    Jesus makes a connection to Jonah and his "sign" to the people. The connection appears when he and the disciples cross the Sea of Galilee and face the storm before he cast out the Legion of demons from the possessed man.

    1. Swallowed by Whale In the late winter of 1891, the whale-ship 'Star of the East' was in the area of the Falkland Islands when it sighted a whale. Two boats were sent out with harpoons to catch and kill the creature. But the whale's lashing tail overturned one of the boats spilling the crew into ...read more

    You need the real meat that is the Holy word of God so you can discern the times and see how near the Masters coming is. You are not to fall into idleness or be defeated by being beaten down by this world of distraction. WATCH!

    The Parable of the Watchful Servants Luke 12:35-48 Message: God’s plan to redeem the world to Himself involved the birth, life, death and resurrection of His son Jesus Christ.

    The “unclean spirit” is Satan or his demons. Satan delights in causing uncleanness in persons, places and things. His going out of a man, as presented here, is voluntary, not like his eviction by force as when Christ cast out demons.

    Harmony of the Gospels -AD 28- Capernaum Title: Jesus Answers a Demand for a Sign Matthew 12:38-45, Luke 11:24-26, 29-36 -Matthew- 43 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none. 44 Then he saith, I will return into my house ...read more
