Jesus was fully man and also fully God. Jesus lived the perfect life as a man and fulfilled everyone of God's commands. He was the perfect sacrifice and now He is a mediator between us and God the Father. He brings peace between and righteous and just God and a broken humanity.
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.
Slides used in a session of the Exploring Jesus Christ Lay Leaders Course. These are on the topic of the history of Christology and include the development of Christological thought throughout history.

Thoughts helpful in the life of the soul from Book I – The Imitation of Christ.
If only a man would never seek passing joys or entangle himself with worldly affairs, what a good conscience he would have.
In silence and quiet the devout soul advances in virtue and learns the hidden truths of Scripture.
Why wish to see what you are not permitted to have? “The world passes away and the concupiscence thereof.”

Complete abandonment of desires (vasana, mental conditioning) is called the best state of liberation (moksha) and is the only pure step towards happiness.
The absence of desires leads to the extinction of mental actions, in the same manner as the absence of cold melts small particles of ice. Our desires uphold our living bodies and bind us tightly to our bodily prison like ropes. These being loosened, the inner soul is liberated.
Mental conditioning is of two kinds: pure and impure. The impure ones cause reincarnation, while the pure ones serve to destroy it. An impure desire is like a mist of ignorance, the stubborn feeling that one is the individual ego. The wise say that individual ego is the cause of rebirth.
In today’s message we will look at the value of remaining disciplined in the areas of decisions, devotions, doubts, desires and duties as a way to embrace the life we experience each day.
This message is Part 1 of the series “The Miracle Of Mercy” by Pastor Chuck Bernal. In this message Pastor Chuck defines the Biblical concept of mercy and how mercy describes the character of God more than anything else. He then shares the 3 reasons why we all need mercy and how we can receive it. The message was delivered at LifePointe Church on Sunday, September 18, 2016.
God is present in the Word; God is present in the Eucharist. In the Economic Trinity, the Incarnate Second Person is the Mediator who prays and saves by his presence. He is Emmanuel. Therefore whether we pray the Psalms or partake of the Eucharist, we are united with Our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom alone we 'come' to the Father.

The reason why we have eternal life today is because Jesus Christ died for us. He was sinless but became guilty for us. The wages of sin is death. If Jesus Christ did not die for us, then we cannot have the hope of eternal life, because our sin is still there. But can we explain this matter with human love? Or we still have to use God’s love to explain. This chapter will discuss this topic in depth.

Pastor Lionel Rattenbury shares on the vision of Hope Church 2508. The church that we see has hundreds of families growing to become mature followers of Jesus Christ.
The church we see has hundreds of families growing to become mature followers of Jesus Christ. We are a church that loves God, loves others, connects people with God and grows people.
Learning to love and accept others starts with understanding that God love us and accepts us as we are. When we truly understand this we can be free to be ourselves. When we blow it we say sorry, repent and receive God's forgiveness. When we live this way it is easy to understand that other people are not perfect either.
Overcoming worry by trusting in the character of GodLionel Rattenbury
Trusting in God and becoming dependant upon him is one of the important keys to living in God's perfect peace. Pastor Lionel Rattenbury shares about how we can trust in the character of God.
Agape love (verb) or Agapo love (noun) is the love that God has for his son, the love that Jesus has for us and the love that he wants us to have for others. God's love is unconditional, sacrificial and essential to Christians.

Mercy - Jesus taught his disciples how they are to live as Christians. He said that if they wanted to follow him they are to exercise mercy rather than revenge. They were to exercise grace, humility, mercy, forgiveness and generosity.
What Jesus said about divorce. He actually taught about God's perfect plan for man and woman. They would live together as one. But how do we live out God's perfect plan in an imperfect world with imperfect people
Mans way of dealing with issues of anger is to deal with the outward actions, Anger management looks at strategies to deal with anger when it arises, Jesus deals with the heart.
Jesus told his disciples that they were the salt of the earth & the light of the world. He would tell Christians today that the same message. Christians must let God's life, light and love shine out of them.

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.

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…

humbled himself in obedience to God and
died a criminal’s death on a cross.

someone to remove God’s rod from me, so
that his terror would frighten me no more.
Job 9:32-34
6. Make your peace with God
This is good, and pleases God our
Savior, who wants all people to be saved

truth. For there is one God and one
mediator between God and mankind, the
man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a
ransom for all people.

Mark 14:35- 36

“Put your sword back in its place,” Jesus
said to him, “for all who draw the sword will

angels? But how then would the Scriptures
be fulfilled that say it must happen in this
way?”
Matthew 26:52-54

in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his
good purpose.
