What is the difference between the resurrection of Christ and His ascension? What would have happened if Christ had not risen from the grave? What would have happened if Christ had not ascended into heaven? Why do you think most Christians, and the Church at large, place little emphasis on the ascension of Jesus Christ? How does the ascension of Christ practically affect your Christian faith, your obedience to Him, your love for the brethren, and your hope in the future?
Jesus Cleanses the Temple | A Sermon on John 2:13-22Steve Thomason
This sermon continues the Come and See series through the Narrative Lectionary selections of the Gospel of John. Jesus' angry cleansing of the Temple in Jerusalem stands in stark contrast to his sign of abundance and grace at the wedding party in Cana of Galilee. Both stories illustrate where God abides; not in temples of stone, but in the hearts and lives of all kinds of people.

Not just anyone qualifies to judge the world. For one, you have to be Creator. Secondly, you need to have given the world the chance to be saved. Jesus did both, so he will be worthy to break the seals on the scroll to unleash God's judgment. Listen to the audio of this message at http://cicfamily.com/sermon-listing/?tag=Revelation+of+John.
We are not declared righteous because we are righteous. We are declared righteous because of what Jesus Christ has done for us. It's not that we have never sinned, rather it's because one that had no sinned died for us and covered our sins. Because of his work, God has declared us pure from sin. It is as if though we had never sinned. Download this and other PowerPoints at BibleGuy.org

Getting to Know Paul | The Apostle to the GentilesNeo Lamperouge
Most of us have heard of Paul in the Bible but how much do we really know of him? Here in this series, we go deeper with some of the biographies of Bible characters.
In this paper I examine the evangelical task of proclaiming the Christian kerygma in the modern world. First, I contextualize proclamation within the overall task of witnessing to the Gospel. Next, I show how the early Christian kerygma was shaped by the apostles according to their particular audience. Following this, I look broadly at the modern American audience and suggest some important points of emphasis and de-emphasis in our shaping of kerygma for them. Finally, I suggest a method for sharing the Good News that begins to integrate the results of this discussion.

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.

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…

Galatians 2010
1.
2. The Galatian Church The Galatian churches were founded by Paul between 45 and 48 A.D. while on his first missionary journey. The people were country folk and were scattered over a wide rural area of central Asia Minor.
4. John Phillips described the Galatians as generous, inconsistent, impulsive, and quarrelsome. It was to these converts, in such towns as Antioch, Iconium, Lystra, and Derbe, that Paul addressed this letter.
5. THEME The question as to whether the Gentiles were to keep the law of Moses had been settled at the council at Jerusalem. The decision was that the Gentiles were justified by faith without works of the law. Nevertheless, the Judaizing party continued to insist that though the Gentiles were saved by faith, their faith was perfected by the observances of the Mosaic law.
6. The Galatians had been influenced by this teaching. As a result, Paul’s gospel was undermined as was his authority. The theme of his message is: Justification and sanctification are not by the works of law, but by faith.
7. While in Greece on his third missionary journey, Paul received the news that the Galatians had taken the yoke of the law upon themselves. This led to the writing of the epistle to: 1. Oppose the influence of the Judaizing teachers who were attempting to undermine Paul’s authority 2. Refute the following errors that they taught: * Obedience to the law, mingled with faith, is necessary to salvation * The believer is made perfect by the keeping of the law 3. Restore the Galatians who had fallen from grace
8. DATE According to commonly accepted tradition, the Epistle to the Galatians was written during Paul’s third missionary journey, approximately 57 A.D.
9. CONTENTS 1. The Apostle of Liberty (1:1-2:14) After a short introductory salutation, Paul began his letter to the saints in Galatia by defending himself against charges of the Judaizers. They stated that Paul was not a true apostle of Christ, that he was only a teacher sent out by the apostles, that he was spreading teachings not approved by the council at Jerusalem.
10. Paul defended himself on the basis that: * The gospel that he preached came directly by revelation from Christ (1:10-16) * For years lie was away from the church at Jerusalem and labored independently of the other apostles (1:17-23) * He was under divine direction in his work among the Gentiles (2:1-5) * The church at Jerusalem endorsed his apostleship and work among the Gentiles (2:7-10) * He had not hesitated to rebuke Peter and other Christian Jews when he saw that they were yielding to ritualistic tendencies (2:11-14)
11. Galatians is the only Pauline epistle that contains no thanksgiving for the reader. He did not even call the Galatians “saints in Christ” Instead Paul's tone is severe. He marveled that they were so easily turned away from the gospel (1:6-7). The gospel he preached was from God and Paul sought only to please Him. Anyone who preached a gospel other than the one Paul preached was accursed (1:8-9).
12. 2. The Doctrine of Liberty (2:15-4:31) The major section of Galatians is a defense of the doctrine of justification by faith apart from the works of the law. Paul stated: * That it was folly for the Christian Jews to abandon their new faith and light and to return to the old legalism of the law (2:15-21) * That their past experiences should motivate them to continue in the truth (3:1-5) * That Abraham was justified by faith (3:6-9)
13. * That the law had no redeeming power, but Christ brought redemption to the believer (3:10-14) * That the law could not disannul the covenant of salvation by faith (3:15-18) * That the purpose of the law was to serve as a schoolmaster (3:19-25) * That those who surrender their faith in Christ and relapse into legalism suffer loss (3:26-4:31)
14. Law was a schoolmaster The law was a schoolmaster (3:24-25) The term schoolmaster signifies the household slave who acted as a guardian over the younger members of the family. He chaperoned the child, made sure he attended school, and reported any wrongdoing to the father. The father would then administer the correction and instruction.
15. As far as liberties, the child was no different from the servant. When the child reached maturity, however, the schoolmaster was removed, and the child was accepted as an adult with adult privileges and responsibilities. The Mosaic law served as a spiritual tutor in charge of us to lead us to Christ so that we could be justified by faith in Him. When the right time came, the inheritance was given-through Christ-to the sons of full stature.
16. 3. The Life of Liberty (Chapter 5 and 6) Paul urged the Galatians to hold fast to the liberty of grace and warned against false teachers (5:1-12). He stated that freedom from the legalism of the Mosaic law is not a license to sin; the Christian should walk in love, therefore fulfilling the law (5:13, 14).
17. The fruit of the Spirit is singular. Thus, to D. L. Moody the one fruit of the Spirit was love, with the other qualities listed being attributes of this single fruit: Joy is love rejoicing. Peace is love resting. Longsuffering is love enduring. Gentleness is love in kindness. Goodness is love in action. Faith is love trusting. Meekness is love stooping. Temperance is love restraining.
18. Paul then contrasted the works of the flesh and the fruit of the Spirit (5:16-26), gave the characteristics of the spiritual life (6:1-6), and the law of sowing and reaping (6:7-9). He concluded his letter in verses 10-18.
