He endured being betrayed by on of the 12 apostles, deserted by all his closest friends and followers, falsely accused, being mocked and ...read more

    Psalm 73 3/20/16 Intro For the last two weeks we have talked about “Foundational Guidance,” those things we do regardless of circumstances, “come what may.” We took our first message from Micah 6:8 where God tells us to (1) do justly (2) to love mercy (3) and walk humbly with your God.

    Free To Abide Series

    Contributed by Jenny Franklin on Sep 10, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,476 views

    Many of us know we should “ABIDE in Christ” as we are instructed in John 15:4-5. But somehow we don’t seem to be able to ABIDE, and we don’t have the evidence of the fruits of the spirit listed in Galatians 5:22.

    Jesus said, “ Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me. I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.” John 15:4-5. The ...read more

    Jesus didn't fit John's idea of what the Messiah would be like. Jesus stressed love rather than judgment. Jesus moves in surprising ways and communicates God's grace in unexpected situations.
