    The Lifted Up Servant Series

    based on 24 ratings
     | 18,190 views

    Our passage teaches us of a violent grace. Though man would cast down the Servant, God would lift Him up and glorify Him. He who man esteemed not, God would magnify.

    ISAIAH 52:13 15 - 52:15 THE LIFTED UP SERVANT John 12: 32-33 The text we begin today may be the best know in the Old Testament. The passage is certainly one of the riches and most unmistakable prophecies in the Bible. Our text begins the fourth ...read more

    Last week we studied the principle of evangelization of the lost. I mentioned during the sermon that in its’ preparation I realized that there was another aspect of evangelization that I noticed in the passage of scripture just prior to my text.

    In the passage today we see a mother determined to get to Jesus on behalf of her afflicted child. We need mothers like this in our world. We also need to honor the mothers we have like this.

    Intro: When Robert Ingersoll, the notorious skeptic, was in his heyday, two college students went to hear him lecture. As they walked down the street after the lecture, one said to the other, “Well, I guess he knocked the props out from under Christianity, didn’t he?” The other ...read more

    One of the clearest statements contained within Scripture, regarding the purpose and goal of Christian faith, is this passage: “Imitate God… in everything you do. Live a life filled with love, following the example of Christ.”

    Grieving The Holy Spirit Series

    Contributed by Arthur Miller on Apr 5, 2014
     | 6,014 views

    What does it mean to Grieve the Holy Spirit? How does finite man grieve infinite God? Eph. 4:30 seems strange at first glance, but we will see that this verse fits in perfectly with the rest of the passage.

    All verses from the Bible Gateway NIV and NASV.

    This is an expositional study on the passage commonly known as the "High Priestly Prayer." If you tke the time to read through this it will truly touch you. I pray that God will use this study to change your heart in many different ways.

    The passage of chapter 17 verses 1-26 in the book of John is widely known as the “High Priestly Prayer.” Within these verses Jesus is praying to the Father. “Though this prayer, unlike the one found in Matthew, was not spoken deliberately for the purpose of giving instruction in this spiritual ...read more

    An examination of a difficult passage in John 6 where Jesus floors the crowd with his declaration that they must eat his flesh and drink his blood in order to receive eternal life. Appropriate for use prior to Lord's Supper.

    You are in a journey with Jesus Christ but there's always some choices we can make. There is a gate at the end of this journey.

    When going into a new situation, it’s always good to be prepared for what’s going to happen ahead of time. In this passage, we see how people typically respond to the gospel in one-on-one evangelism.

    Pastor Jim’s blog: http://brushforkbanner.blogspot.com As you know, we’ve been in this passage for three weeks now. There’s a reason for that. The reason is that I think this is one of the best passages on personal evangelism in the whole Bible. The Bible is filled with personal evangelism ...read more

    Have you ever wished that God would show Himself to you? Did you know that He already has? We’ll see that in our passage today as we look at the prologue to John’s gospel.

    Do you ever wonder what it must be like to see God? I’ve heard it said that for us to try to see God in His fullness and completely describe Him would be like a germ trying to describe the universe. In and of Himself, God is completely incomprehensible to man. In His eternal three-in-one ...read more
