Jesus shocked his followers in Mark 8:31 . Look with me at Mark 8:31 And he began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer…

And as Jesus passed forth from thence, he saw a man, named Matthew, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he saith unto him, Follow me. And he arose, and followed him.

The Person of Christ The biblical teaching about the person of Christ is the following: Jesus Christ was fully God and fully man in one person, and will be so forever.

Scene 1: Many things rule over our lives! Family, Money Careers, Work, Worry. So often the visible & invisible have superiority. It might be something that is in plain sight. But so often it is things that others can not so easily see. It might be a hurt which we will not let go off. And it eats away…

Hebrews 10:1-18 concludes the theological explanation part of this letter. Verse 19 onwards is all about the practical application. The writer has made their point and will then move onto the “so what does this mean practically for how you live” part of the letter. And that is the subject of another…

A shallow understanding of Christ’s work leads to a shallow faith. 4:14 & 5:9 One of the things that I am continually confronted with is the shallow understanding of Christ’s work demonstrated by those who claim to follow him. It shouldn’t surprise me, but I continually find myself wondering at what…

Scene 1: Being caught by surprise is very unsettling. Whether it be physically, Emotionally, Or Intellectually!

Matthew 4:1–11 (KJV 1900) Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred.

Inmaturity in a young child is expected. When a little one responds by sulking or spitting the dummy we understand that they haven’t grown up yet and don’t know how to deal with disappointment. Sadly some adults haven’t grown up and display very similar behaviours in how they deal with life. They throw…

Scene 1: You have probably heard the saying, “Walk a mile in my shoes” People often use these words when they think that you don’t really appreciate how hard things really are for them. There is a need to enter the world of another to truly understand what things are like for them. I can read all about…

It is often told in movies and myths that people believed there was nothing beyond the horizon. You would sail off into the distance and drop of the edge of the world. It is of course a myth, the ancients knew far more about navigation than popular myth and movies gives them credit for. But this belief…

Jesus’ First Disciples 1. Andrew, the Anonymous Disciple, and Simon Peter (1:35-42) From the perspective of John writing this gospel this is the third day of Jesus ministry.

YHWH said to Abraham Chapter LIX.--God distinct from the Father conversed with Moses.

Jesus' exclusive identity and all sufficient work.

Who is Jesus? Who is Jesus to you? These are the two most important questions that could ever be asked. Providing insight into such a weighty consideration, this exposition addresses this isue head on.

John launches his account of the life of Jesus with the claim that not only did Jesus exist before the beginning, but that he in fact is God. As Supreme God of the universe, he outranks everyone and everything.

The Same Son of God in Whom We Have Forgiveness of Sins is also God’s Supreme Representative, Who is Supreme Over All Creation, Supreme in Redemption and Supreme in Reconciliation.

What you believe determines how you live , and How you live is an indicator of what you really believe.
