Recently, when requested for notes about prophecies of the Messiah, we discovered that, for some reason, this power point and notes are not posted at the site! I apologize for the oversight. Here are notes and a power point by Dr. John Oakes on this very important topic.
Matthew's gospel provides the link between the Old Testament and the New Testament of the Bible. He shows how Jesus' life fulfilled the prophecies concerning the Messiah. The key word for this Gospel is "Fulfilled". Matthew records Jesus' public teaching.
How you talk to people about Jesus depends on what they already know.
There are four great facts that must be communicated. He was completely human. He was more than a great teacher. He overcame death. Your spiritual encounter with Him today.

This is our ETB Sunday School Lesson, a catch-up of almost 2 weeks' worth. It covers the last part of the gospel of John Chapter 19, then on through C. 20. It has some notes & extra verses. Reading the story in John, we are refreshed in thinking about the Lord, how He took the horribly impossible cup of judgment we could not take for our sins, in order that we could have a New Life. The physical resurrection was just a visible part of the whole Truth, that Jesus has paved the Way for us. He is the Way, the Truth and the Life -- and no one can come to the Father except through Him and His death on the cross (John 14:6). But now He has opened up God's High Way. As He told Mary Magdalene, "Go, find my brothers and tell them, 'I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.'" God through Jesus has identified with all of us, even though we don't deserve it!

This is a Sunday School lesson per ETB (Southern Baptist curriculum) for (covering) part of the Lord Jesus' sermon on the mount, regarding how, as people within His kingdom, we can go far beyond the law and show extreme love and conformity to what God has had in mind all along: for us to become like Him (His Son, Jesus Christ). In so doing (following Him and allowing Him to live thru us), we become peacemakers, will be called sons of God, causing people's heads to turn upward and to give our God the credit and honor for what He alone could do in our new-born lives.
This was for the ETB SS lesson of Dec. 2, on Hosea chapters 1-3. (Sorry it's late, but the Christmas mail was slow :>)! God sets up an awesome object lesson in Hosea's life, relating to Israel's unfaithfulness to him (idolatry, adultery, you-name-it) and how faithfully He loves them despite of it all. It's interesting to see how God uses and chooses names to show what's going on in the culture that claims to -- but refuses to -- be faithful to Him. The parallels with our modern American "Christendom" are many -- may we not hesitate to seek Him and apply these lessons into our own lives!
Don't be surprised when -- not if -- you find yourself suffering in God's will -- This will happen! You are folllowing Christ's example of reproving the world with a love for them that hates sin enough to suffer. Paul said that in suffering, you're in God's death-to-Life march, on display for the world to marvel at. So prepare and consider proper suffering the honor it is, that is to be rewarded by Him.
These slides are for Lifeway ETB lesson of Nov. 4. Peter cautions leaders to be committed examples, to win others to further follow Christ -- not being overlords, but exemple servants who know God's grace. He also tells younger Christians to respect the older ones -- who God matures, as we know. AND that all believers should humble (not overestimate) themselves to receive the favor of God, Whose great hand is over the whole process of growing-up-in-Christ. Watch out for the deceiver Satan, who is on the prowl for anyone he can destroy. Know that after suffering for Christ, God will strengthen you.
This is a SS lesson for 10/21/2012. Dying to self / living for God puts you into His Community (Body) that you share in, and that shares with you. You can more than "survive" -- really, thrive as a serving functioning, loving part of that body. His Church of redeemed believers is His joy, and He will be found in them: to God be all the glory! This lesson shares some other passages by Paul about God's multi-faceted grace that shows up for all the world to see in His Church.
Today's SS lesson, "Living As Strangers". We Christians are to be in the world, looking to love and point people to God's grace by our examples and our genuine good deeds. We first must reject falseness (the old life) in our own lives, then we will be free to be Jesus servants by others
Aug. 26 Sunday School lesson, finishing up Ruth. When dealing with Boaz, Ruth didn't just travel to the 'outlet mall' for some bargain basement clearance caliber of husband! Because she was busy serving God, loving people, and oh by the way allowing God to prepare His will in this 'department', you see what happened in her life, the many "great values" that she found! Pardon the shopping analogies, but this little book has some great godly characters who grew in caring about others, and left a tremendous legacy (read the surprise ending). This book has a lot to do with how God eternally loves, waits on and serves us -- look for Jesus! God Bless!!
Last Sunday's lesson, 1 Peter 1"b" with a bit of review on "a". By way of opening illustration, I was friends with a Golden Gloves state champion, amazingly talented at age 16, who I sparred with just one time. One punch, even just a slight jab on his part, was enough to retire me from any fantasies of being a boxer! I'm sure Peter felt infinitely more so about Jesus Christ, just as did the other apostles who knew His Life Death and Resurrection. God Bless!

Homily: The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity Sunday 2024.docxJames Knipper
Countless volumes have been written trying to explain the mystery of three persons in one true God, leaving us to resort to metaphors such as the three-leaf clover to try to comprehend the Divinity. Many of us grew up with the quintessential pyramidal Trinity structure of God at the top and Son and Spirit in opposite corners. But what if we looked at this ‘mystery’ from a different perspective? What if we shifted our language of God as a being towards the concept of God as love? What if we focused more on the relationship within the Trinity versus the persons of the Trinity? What if stopped looking at God as a noun…and instead considered God as a verb? Check it out…
In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

1.
2. Happy Mother’s Day!
Gen. 1:27, 5:1-2 God created man in His image: male and
female
Much mystery, delicacy and sanctity surrounds God‘s
institution of marriage and Mothers (Eph. 5:31-32)
Mothers show a WONDERFUL aspect of God‘s character
expressed in His creation (Romans 1:20) – and ultimately in
His Final Word – His SON Jesus (Who is also God)!
(Hebrews 1:2)
The self-sacrificing role of Mothers flies in the face of modern
‗survivalism‘, so-called evolution, ―me first‖-ness
James 1:18 says God chose to give us New Birth as His
Firstfruits, consecrated to Him
Rev. 12 – the woman in the wilderness (Israel) gives birth to a
child (the Church)
1 Tim. 2:15 – women are ‗saved through the divine Child-
bearing‘
3.
4. 34O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, killer of prophets, abuser of the
messengers of God! How often I’ve longed to gather your
children, gather your children like a hen, Her brood safe under her
wings
— but you refused and turned away! – Jesus in Luke 13
5. 41 As He approached and saw the city, He wept over it, 42 saying,
―If you knew this day what would bring peace—but now it is
hidden from your eyes. 43 For the days will come on you when
your enemies … crush you and your children within you, not
leaving one stone on another, because you did not recognize the
time of your visitation.‖
- Jesus in Luke 19
6. He Voluntarily Suffered:
Be Grateful
Lesson Passages:
Luke 22: 14-22, 39-46, 63-65
Background Passage:
Luke 19: 28 – 22: 65
7. Suffering in Anticipation (Luke 22: 14-20) [Moffatt]
14 …and when the hour came he took his place, with the apostles beside
him. 15 He said to them, "I have longed eagerly to eat this Passover with
you before I suffer, 16 for I tell you I will never eat the passover again till the
fulfilment of it in the Reign of God.―
17 And he took a cup which was handed to him, gave thanks to God and
said, "Take this and distribute it among yourselves, 18 for I tell you I will
never drink the produce of the vine again till such time as God's Reign
comes."
19 Then he took a loaf, and after thanking God he broke it and gave it to
them, saying, "This means my body given up for your sake; do this in
memory of me."20 So too he gave them the cup after supper, saying, "This
cup means the new covenant ratified by my blood shed for your sake.
What does / did Passover mean (remember?)
The passing over of the death angel at a final judgment on Egypt, that freed
Israel‘s descendants from horrible slavery.
One of few festivals commanded to be held each year: a lamb was slain
and a meal of remembrance shared.
Jesus was THIS Meal in the foretold New Covenant of GREAT Deliverance!
Why didn‘t He share in it? Consider Nazarite vows, yet to be fulfilled
8. 2. Suffering Disappointment (Luke 22:21-22,39-40,45-46) [Moffatt]
21 But the hand of my betrayer is on the table beside me! 22 The Son of
man moves to his end, indeed as it has been decreed, but woe to the man
by whom he is betrayed!― …
39 … … Then he went outside and made his way to the Hill of Olives, as he
was accustomed. The disciples followed him, 40 and when he reached the
spot he said to them, "Pray that you may not slip into temptation." …
45 … … Then rising from prayer he went to the disciples, only to find them
asleep from sheer sorrow. 46 He said to them, "Why are you sleeping? Get
up and pray that you may not slip into temptation.―
:21-22 Betrayed with a flattering kiss, by a 3-year follower, whom Jesus
had loved – though a slandering thief. Yet Christ had chosen Him.
How could Jesus keep loving this person? God desired that. Could we?
:39-40, :45-46 What token (at times) followers! Jesus had asked them to
pray for Him; now He warned them to pray for themselves. Jesus was
caring for THEM!
Does God ever find us ―drowsy in prayer‖, or in grief – weighed down to
the point of being unproductive for Him?
Only God in Christ (the Son of Man) could accomplish His WILL
PERFECTLY – praying for all of us to follow Him Perfectly!
9. 3. Suffering Great Stress (Luke 22:41-44) [Moffatt]
41 He withdrew about a stone's throw and knelt in prayer, 42
saying, "Father, if it please thee, take this cup away from me. But thy
will, not mine, be done.― 43 [And an angel from heaven appeared to
strengthen him;
44 he fell into an agony and prayed with greater intensity, his sweat
dropping to the ground like clots of blood.]
:21 Completely alone by the disciples. They couldn‘t fathom – nor can we!
The submission of kneeling. To whom? Was Jesus asking God for strength
only? No, asking God for us – as apostle Paul shared of his Christian life:
14 On account of this, I bend my knees before the Father, 15 from whom every
family in heaven and on earth is named, 16 that He may grant you according to
the riches of his glory to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in the
inner person, 17 that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith… -- Eph. 3
:43-44 Jesus prayed in agony over us ALL, to pay our ransom & save us
eternal Death. Hebrews 5 says:
7 who in the days of His flesh offered up both prayers and supplications, with
loud crying and tears, to the One Who was able to save Him from death, and
He was heard as a result of His reverence. 8 Although He was a son, He
learned obedience from what He suffered, 9 and being perfected, He became
10. 4. Suffering Humiliation (Luke 22:63-65)
63 Meantime the men who had Jesus in custody flogged him and made fun
of him; 64 blindfolding him they would ask him, "Prophesy, tell us who
struck you?"65 And many another insult they uttered against him.
Prescription for Christian Apathy: See The Passion.
As Pilate said to the Gentile world: ―Behold the man!... I find no fault in Him.‖
Jesus was and is, in His Passion, absolutely winsome. Could we do that? NO
WAY.
Suffering to save us thru persecutions: He took it all in stride.
He even prophecied to the women of Jerusalem on the way to Golgotha, after
having been flogged, and while stumbling with His cross (Lk. 23:27-31)
The unknowing Gentile world will be hard to face – BUT God has been there
before you!
Behold this Man! God was/is TOTALLY pleased with His being sacrificed
(Isaiah 53:10, it pleased Him to crush Him. From Hebrews 5:
1 For every high priest chosen from among men is appointed to act on behalf of
men in things relating to God, to offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins. 2 He is
able to exercise gentleness and forbearance toward the ignorant and
erring, since He himself also is liable to moral weakness and physical infirmity.
Jesus is HERE NOW to HELP US – for REAL !!
11. Hallelujah (Praise God)!
What a Savior!
―If I am lifted up, I will draw
ALL men unto Me.‖
– John 12:32
For while we were still helpless – at
the proper time – Christ died for the
ungodly. – Romans 5:6
