John's gospel was written around 90AD. He assumes his readers know the basic facts of Jesus life. His purpose is to highlight that Jesus was and is the Son of God and that belief in Him will give eternal life.
Mark's gospel was written under the shadow of persecution. It is filled with action and only a small amount of teaching. It shows Jesus suffered and was victorious.
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.
The word heart appears more than 800 times in the Bible but what does it mean? The heart is the totality of who I am, body, soul and spirit. past experiences especially traumatic experiences can create wounds of the heart. Rejection is a very common wound of the heart. There are two principles ways a wound of rejection is managed by trying to be good enough to gain acceptance (perfectionism) and by rebelling against the system denying the need for love and acceptance. In Jesus we can find acceptance and healing.
Walking by faith” means acting on what you believe.
Your belief system determines your behaviour. Explore what is a stronghold in the mind and how to build new ones using God's Word.
To understand and know who we are in Christ we need to know understand how God sees us. The problem is that most people have a false idea about what God is like that has been created by past experiences especially what they were taught or experienced as a child.To know the truth of who we are in Christ requires us to know the truth about what God is really like as revealed in the Scriptures and supremely in Jesus.
Being transformed in your mind (Romans12) means rethinking your self image. Those who have placed their trust in Jesus are in Christ. This is a fundamental change. Our identity is now who we are in Christ. The New testament has many descriptions of who we are in Christ and we need to live on the basis of these statements and not by what the world tells us were are or should be.
Bible records may examples of supernatural miraculous healing through God's power working through a person. Jesus demonstrated God's power to heal, cast out demons and raise the dead. Jesus commanded His disciples to do the same. The power of the Holy Spirit flowing through a man or woman is available today to to carry on the work of Jesus.
E tell others about Jesus because we are excited and full of joy and want others to experience the same. Everybody is on a spiritual journey either toward god or away from God. The love of Jesus can be seen by what we do, what we say and and the demonstration of the power of God to heal and answer prayer.The most powerful testimony is the way we live our lives.
Jesus died so that all who believe in Him can receive the power and gifts of the Holy Spirit. Jesus tells us that if anyone asks to receive the Holy Spirit he will receive. The Holy Spirit is a good gift from the Father. Why would anyone hesitate to receive a good gift from God that Jesus suffered and died to make available.
We live in a a dark world filled with evil spiritual beings who want to kill, steal and destroy our happiness and relationship with God. Jesus faced many spiritual battles, so does every person. Every Christian is a soldier who needs to know the enemies tacts, how to defend himself and how to attack. The Bible reveals all this critical information.
Who is the Holy Spirit? Jesus died to make available to all believers the gift of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is a person part of the Godhead. The Holy Spirit is the Guide, the Helper, the Comforter and the Counselor. He makes available to believers the power and character of Jesus.
Want wants to speak to us. We need to ask Him and train our selves to recognize when God communicates with us. There are seven ways He normally communicates with us. His voice, His written word, Your heart, prophecy, dreams, visions or circumstances.
The bible has proven to be an integrated message system written by more than 40 authors over more than 1500 years and contains information and predictions that can only come from a Divine Being. The Bible says it is from God and proves it by many accurate predictions of events and people. Therefore it is the most important book that can ever be read.
Prayer comes out of relationship with God. Jesus gave us a template to show us how to pray to our heavenly Father. The vital ingredient for any relationship is time. Unless we invest time in a relationship it does not grow but fades. The time we spend with the Father is never wasted.
Based on the Alpha course. Faith is acting on what we believe is true and will happen. Three factors enable us to have faith, the promises of God in the Bible, the reputation of God in the past and the testimony of others and personal experience. Small steps of trust lead to bigger steps.
Why did Jesus have to die? The Law of God is the penalty of sin is death. God can not change this without changing Who He is. Jesus comes to each person offers to take their sin in exchange for His righteousness. He then had to die our punishment for sin so that we can receive the righteousness of God.
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.
The Book of Joshua is the sixth book in the Hebrew Bible and the Old Testament, and is the first book of the Deuteronomistic history, the story of Israel from the conquest of Canaan to the Babylonian exile.

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.

Journey Through The Bible: The Prophets of the Bible
1. Journey Through the Bible
The Prophets
Bible readings:
2 Peter 1:10-21 (Page 860)
Luke 24:13-27 (Page 749)
Thursday, 2 October 2014
2. The Prophets
The Prophets can be challenging to read
but there are many beautiful passages.
“In that day this song will be sung in
the land of Judah: “We have a strong
city; God will appoint salvation for
walls and bulwarks. Open the gates,
That the righteous nation which keeps
the truth may enter in. You will keep
him in perfect peace, Whose mind is
stayed on You, Because he trusts in
You. Trust in the Lord for ever, For in
Yah, the Lord, is everlasting
strength.” (Isaiah 26:1–4, NKJV)
Thursday, 2 October 2014
3. The Prophets
Some prophetic passages could
have been today about modern
society.
“What sorrow awaits the unjust
judges and those who issue unfair
laws. They deprive the poor of
justice and deny the rights of the
needy among my people. They
prey on widows and take
advantage of orphans.”
(Isaiah 10:1–2, NLT)
Thursday, 2 October 2014
4. The Prophets
Some passages are very dark.
“Woe to the bloody city! It is all full of
lies and robbery. Its victim never
departs. The noise of a whip and the
noise of rattling wheels, of galloping
horses, of clattering chariots!
Horsemen charge with bright sword
and glittering spear. There is a
multitude of slain, A great number of
bodies, countless corpses— They
stumble over the corpses— Because of
the multitude of harlotries of the
seductive harlot, the mistress of
sorceries, who sells nations through
her harlotries, and families through
her sorceries.” (Nahum 3:1–4, NKJV)
Thursday, 2 October 2014
5. The Prophets
There are prophets and prophecies
right through the whole bible from
Genesis to Revelation
Noah,Abraham, Moses,
Joshua, Deborah, Samuel,
Nathan, King David.
Elijah, Elisha, nameless
prophets
John the Baptist, Jesus, Paul,
Agabus, Philip’s daughters,
John the Evangelist
Thursday, 2 October 2014
6. The Prophets
1. God chose them.
2. God anointed them and empowered
them with the Holy Spirit. Prophetic
gift is not a natural ability.
Thursday, 2 October 2014
7. The call of Jeremiah
“Now the word of the Lord came to
me, saying, “Before I formed you in
the womb I knew you, and before
you were born I consecrated you; I
appointed you a prophet to the
nations.” Then I said, “Ah, Lord
God! Behold, I do not know how to
speak, for I am only a youth.” But the
Lord said to me, “Do not say, ‘I am
only a youth’; for to all to whom I
send you, you shall go, and whatever
I command you, you shall speak. Do
not be afraid of them, for I am with
you to deliver you, declares the
Lord.”” (Jeremiah 1:4–8, ESV)
Thursday, 2 October 2014
8. The Prophets
1. God chose them.
2. God anointed them and empowered
them with the Holy Spirit. Prophetic
gift is not a natural ability.
3. God gave His chosen prophets
visions and messages to communicate
to people. Sometimes the prophets
had to act out the message God had
given them.
Thursday, 2 October 2014
9. The Prophets
• The messages of the prophets did not
come from the man himself but from
God.
• “Above all, you must realize that no
prophecy in Scripture ever came
from the prophet’s own
understanding, or from human
initiative. No, those prophets were
moved by the Holy Spirit, and they
spoke from God.” (2 Peter 1:20–21,
NLT)
Thursday, 2 October 2014
10. The Prophets
4. The prophets often did not want to be
a prophet or want to speak the words
the Lord gave them. The messages
the Lord gave them were often called
“Burdens” - a heavy load which did
not lift off them until they had spoken
the message.
Thursday, 2 October 2014
11. The Prophets
• “Then Amaziah said to Amos, “Get
out of Israel, you prophet! Go back to
the land of Judah. Earn your living
there. Do your prophesying there.
Don’t prophesy here at Bethel
anymore. This is where the king
worships. The main temple in the
kingdom is located here.”
Amos answered Amaziah, “I was not
a prophet. I wasn’t even a prophet’s
son. I was a shepherd. I also took care
of fig trees. But the Lord took me
away from taking care of the flock.
He said to me, ‘Go. Prophesy to My
people Israel.’” (Amos 7:12–15, NirV
Thursday, 2 October 2014
12. The Prophetic Vision
• Some prophetic messages are given only
for the people the prophet speaks to and
describe the situation of the day. Like
this from Ezekiel
• “In the tenth year, in the tenth month, on
the twelfth day of the month, the word of
the Lord came to me: “Son of man, set
your face against Pharaoh king of Egypt,
and prophesy against him and against all
Egypt; speak, and say, Thus says the
Lord God: “Behold, I am against you,
Pharaoh king of Egypt, the great dragon
that lies in the midst of his streams, that
says, ‘My Nile is my own; I made it for
myself.’” (Ezekiel 29:1–3, ESV)
Thursday, 2 October 2014
13. The Prophets
• Other messages from God say what
God is going to do in the future like
this from Zechariah.
• “Then I said to them, “If it seems
good to you, give me my wages; but if
not, keep them.” And they weighed
out as my wages thirty pieces of
silver. Then the Lord said to me,
“Throw it to the potter”—the lordly
price at which I was priced by them.
So I took the thirty pieces of silver
and threw them into the house of the
Lord, to the potter.” (Zechariah
11:12–13, ESV)
Thursday, 2 October 2014
14. The Prophets
• Fulfilment of Zechariah 11:12
Matthew 27 that after Jesus
had been condemned to death
Judas was filled with remorse
and threw the 30 pieces of silver
he'd been paid to betray Jesus
into the temple. The priests
then used this betrayal money
to buy a field called the Potter's
field.
Thursday, 2 October 2014
15. The Prophets
• There are other prophecies about
future events which we can see
clearly haven’t happened yet.
Like this from Jeremiah:
• “Behold, the days are coming,
declares the Lord, when I will
raise up for David a righteous
Branch, and He shall reign as
king and deal wisely, and shall
execute justice and righteousness
in the land.” (Jeremiah 23:5,
ESV)
Thursday, 2 October 2014
16. The Prophetic Vision
Events that happen
during the Prophet’s
Life time
Events that happen
many years after the
prophet has died.
Events that are still in
the future
time
today
Thursday, 2 October 2014
17. The Prophetic Writings
Why the Books of Prophecy
are hard to understand.
• The prophesies are not recorded
in chronological order either in
the book or even within one
chapter.
• Sometimes the prophecy will have
two or more levels of fulfilment at
different times in history.
For Example Daniel 9:27
Thursday, 2 October 2014
18. The Prophetic Writings
• Daniel 9:27 describes how a ruler
will set up an idol in the Holy of
Holies in the Temple in
Jerusalem. This was fulfilled
about 200 years after Daniel died
when the Greek King Antiochus
Epiphanes set up a statue of
himself in the inner sanctuary of
the Temple.
• Yet in Matthew 24:15 Jesus refers
to this event in His teaching about
the final judgement and His return
as an event still in the future.
Thursday, 2 October 2014
19. The Prophetic Writings
• [Jesus said,] “So when you see
the abomination of desolation
spoken of by the prophet Daniel,
standing in the holy place (let the
reader understand), then let those
who are in Judea flee to the
mountains.”
(Matthew 24:15–16, ESV)
Thursday, 2 October 2014
20. Why are the books of the
prophets important?
• Firstly, because the words and
visions of the prophets reveal the
mind and character of God.
• Secondly, by studying the
prophets we will better
understand the character and life
of Jesus.
Thursday, 2 October 2014
21. Why are the books of the
prophets important?
• “How foolish you are, and how
slow to believe all that the
prophets have spoken! Did not
the Messiah have to suffer these
things and then enter His glory?”
And beginning with Moses and
all the Prophets, He explained to
them what was said in all the
Scriptures concerning
Himself.” (Luke 24:25–27,
TNIV)
• Jesus expects His disciples to
know and believe the prophets.
Thursday, 2 October 2014
22. Why are the books of the
prophets important?
• Thirdly, the books of the
prophets are important because
they provide powerful evidence of
the accuracy and reliability of the
Bible itself.
Thursday, 2 October 2014
23. The Gift of Prophecy
• The Prophets of the OT were
anointed by the Holy Spirit and
empowered to receive in words and
pictures messages from the Lord.
In OT times the Holy Spirit was
given only to special servants of
God. But since the death and
resurrection of Jesus the gifts of
Holy Spirit are available to all
believers who desire them.
• “But one who prophesies
strengthens others, encourages
them, and comforts them.”
(1 Corinthians 14:3, NLT)
Thursday, 2 October 2014
24. • The difference today from the time of
the OT prophets is that since the
coming of Jesus there is no need for
God to speak and reveal His plans for
salvation and warn people of His
judgement.
• Jesus has fulfilled all that is needed to
save us from judgement of sin. It is the
task of all disciples to make known to
all people God's judgement of sin and
His salvation through Jesus.
• All believers are called to be prophets,
people empowered by the Holy Spirit
to communicate God’s message of hope
– the Gospel.
