The document discusses Jesus as the Mighty God based on passages from Isaiah and other books of the Bible. It describes Jesus as omniscient, omnipresent, and omnipotent, with power that works in believers, for believers, and through believers. Verses are presented showing Jesus gives strength to the weary and power to the weak. His power is made perfect in weakness and allows believers to witness about Jesus to others through the power of the Holy Spirit.
Jesus Christ is described as the ‘morning star’ in 2 Peter 1:19 (phosphoros) and in Revelation 2:28 (aster proinos), and He identifies Himself as ‘the bright morning star’ (ho aster ho lampros ho proninos) in Revelation 22:16” (413).
He goes on to point out that this “star” symbolism reflects the Old Testament and inter-testament emphasis on the “celestial” nature of the coming Messiah (cf. Num. 24:17; Mal. 4:2).
William Barclay suggested several ideas. He thought the expression could signify the coming resurrection of the righteous. Just as the “morning star” breaks forth from the darkness of night, so the Lord’s people will break out of the darkness of the grave (1957, 67).
Later, however, he came to a different conclusion. He was “quite certain” that the “correct interpretation” is this. The “morning star” is Christ himself.
The Jews waited for the Messiah prophesied in Scripture. This is part one in a two part series of Prophecies of the coming Christ. Download Free PowerPoint at www.Bibleguy.org
The twelve days of christmas and epiphanyMathew Varni
The 12 days of Christmas is the period that in Christian theology marks the span between the birth of Christ and the coming of the Magi, the three wise men. It begins on December 25 (Christmas) and runs through January 6 (the Epiphany, sometimes also called Three Kings' Day).

We’re Wrestling Who? - Ephesians 6:10-13David Turner
Our battles are not against flesh and blood. Our battles are against Principalities and Powers. These adversaries are much bigger than us and cannot be defeated by our own strength. In Ephesians 6:10-13 Paul identifies who we are really wrestling with and follows up with advice on how to compete to gain victory. For this and other PowerPoint Presentations go to www.Bibleguy.org.
The world, the flesh and the devil are hostile to true faith in God because all three are at enmity with God, hate Jesus (who is God come in flesh), and therefore hate those whom Christ has chosen out of this world. What hope is there for Christians facing such enemies? How can we "stand against the evil of the day"?
The Ephesian epistle concludes with an exhortation to "be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might." Why? How can a Christian be "strong in the Lord"? What is the likely consequence of failing to obey this command?
Numbers 6:23-27 "Speak to Aaron and his sons, saying, This is the way you shall bless the children of Israel. Say to them: {24} "The LORD bless you and keep you; {25} The LORD make His face shine upon you, And be gracious to you; {26} The LORD lift up His countenance upon you, And give you peace.'" {27} "So they shall put My name on the children of Israel, and I will bless them." Known as the priestly blessing or the Aaronic Benediction. Is this the way we should bless our enemies as Jesus instructed in Matthew 5:43-45

What is a kingdom? What characterizes God's kingdom? How is it different from the kingdoms of this world? In what way is the kingdom of God "within you"? How did you become a part of God's kingdom? When will God's kingdom be fully realized on earth? How do earthly powers, or authority, differ from God's? How is God's power evidenced in your life? How would you describe glory? How was God's glory manifested in the Old Testament? Was His glory revealed differently in the New Testament? How is His glory manifested today? These and many more questions are addressed in this study.
In this sermon we discuss the interplay of God's sovereignty, God's grace and our personal faith in God. Why is faith necessary, if God is sovereign and a gracious God?
3. ISAIAH 9:6
For to us a child is born, to us a
Son is given, and the
government will be on His
shoulders. And He will be called
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty
God, Everlasting Father,
Prince of Peace.
14. ISAIAH 40:29-31
He gives strength to the
weary and increases
the power of the weak.
Even youths grow tired and
weary, (youth in Hebrew
means Olympic athlete,
best of the best)
15. ISAIAH 40:29-31
and young men stumble
and fall; but those who
hope in the LORD will
renew their strength.”
16. 2 CORINTHIANS 12:9-10
“My grace is all you need.
My power works best in
weakness.” So now I am
glad to boast about my
weaknesses, so that
the power of Christ can
work through me.
17. 2 CORINTHIANS 12:9-10
That’s why I take pleasure
in my weaknesses and in
the insults, hardships,
persecutions, and troubles
that I suffer for Christ. For
when I am weak, then I am
strong.
19. ACTS 1:8
But you will
receive power when the Holy
Spirit comes upon you. And
you will be
my witnesses, telling people
about me everywhere—in
Jerusalem, throughout Judea,
in Samaria, and to the ends of
the earth.”
20. 2 CORINTHIANS 2:4-5
My message and my
preaching were not with wise
and persuasive words, but
with a demonstration of the
Spirit's power, so that your
faith might not rest on men's
wisdom, but on God's power.
