Light of the world is a sermon on the I AM statements of JesusEd Sullivan
1. Jesus declares himself to be the light of the world, angering the Pharisees. He claims his testimony is true because he knows where he came from and is going, unlike them.
2. When the Jews question his identity, Jesus reveals he is from above and they are from below, and unless they believe he is the "I am", they will die in their sins.
3. After further disputes over faith and works, Jesus declares the Jews' true father is the devil because they do not accept his word and instead seek to kill him for telling them the truth from God. In the climax, Jesus declares before Abraham was, "I am", deeply angering the Jews who try
The passage describes multiple interactions between Jesus and the Jews. When Jesus tells them that if anyone keeps his word they will never see death, the Jews accuse him of having a demon. Jesus replies that he honors God while they dishonor him. Later, when Jesus implies that he existed before Abraham, the Jews pick up stones to throw at him though he escapes harm. He claims his authority comes from God the Father and fulfilling God's promise to Abraham, while they have failed to understand who he is.
Jesus tells the Pharisees that he is the light of the world and whoever follows him will not walk in darkness. The Pharisees question his testimony about himself. Jesus responds that his testimony is true because he knows where he comes from and where he is going, unlike the Pharisees who judge only by physical appearances. He says that his judgment is valid because it agrees with the Father who sent him. The Pharisees ask Jesus where his Father is, showing they do not truly know Jesus or the Father. Jesus states that those who do not believe he is who he claims to be will die in their sins. He tells them that they are of this world but he is not, and that
This document contains passages from the Gospel of John where Jesus declares himself to be the light of the world and engages in a debate with Pharisees about his identity and teachings. The Pharisees challenge Jesus' testimony about himself, but he asserts that his Father testifies on his behalf also. Jesus tells the Pharisees that they are slaves to sin, but that he offers freedom. They dispute this claim since they are descendants of Abraham and have never been slaves.
1) The document discusses how to receive eternal life through faith in Jesus Christ as a free gift. It explains that all people are sinners, and cannot save themselves through good works. It describes how Jesus lived a sinless life and died on the cross to pay the penalty for sins.
2) To receive salvation, one must transfer their trust from their own works to Christ's work on the cross, accept Jesus as their savior and lord, and repent of their sins. The document provides a sample prayer to receive Christ.
3) For those who believe, it welcomes them to God's family and encourages growing in faith through reading the Bible, prayer, worship, fellowship, and witnessing to others

The document contains passages from the book of John chapters 1-2 describing Jesus as the Word of God who was present at creation and the source of all life. John the Baptist was sent to testify about Jesus and his role. Although the world was created through Jesus, he was not recognized. Jesus embodied God's grace and truth. Those who received him became children of God.
Why did God give the Law - so high, So demanding, So unreasonable humanly speaking that no body (no man, no woman, no boy, no girl) has ever been able to keep them?
When our life-story becomes a part of God's story of redemption, it becomes a testimony and an invitation for all to experience God's goodness and love. It's time to share our stories!
The document contains passages from the book of John describing interactions between Jesus and the Jews. It can be summarized as:
1. The Jews sought to kill Jesus because he broke the Sabbath and claimed to be equal with God by saying that whatever the Father does, the Son does likewise.
2. Jesus defended himself by saying that the Son can do nothing on his own but only what he sees the Father doing, and that he was revealing the Father to the people.
3. The passages describe Jesus having the authority and power to give life to people and execute judgment, just as the Father does, showing that he and the Father are one.
The document is a collection of Bible passages and quotes about truth and lying. It emphasizes that Jesus is the embodiment of truth, the Holy Spirit leads people into truth, and all Scripture is truth from God. It also notes that Satan is the "father of lies" and lying stems from a desire for approval, power, or comfort rather than truth. The document encourages readers to live as people of truth by repenting of sins and believing in Jesus, who sets people free through his sacrificial truth.
This document presents the gospel message and explains how to receive salvation through faith in Jesus Christ. It discusses that eternal life is a free gift from God, all people are sinners, God provided a way for salvation through Jesus's death and resurrection, and salvation is received through faith in Jesus alone. It provides a sample prayer to accept Jesus as savior and receive eternal life.
The document discusses a Bible study on the Gospel of John. It will examine the 7 "I AM" statements in John and draw patterns from them. The goal is to help readers understand and know God on a deeper level through John's gospel, which intends to reveal Christ's true nature.
This document provides instructions for studying the Bible. It recommends praying for understanding, reading Scripture passages carefully, answering questions from the passages, checking answers, memorizing verses, meditating on the Word, putting it into practice, and sharing what you've learned with others. Studying God's Word requires prayer, careful reading, questioning, verification, memorization, meditation, application, and discussion.
The document contains excerpts from the Gospel of John that raise theological questions about the relationship between God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. It questions why certain passages refer only to God the Father or Jesus the Son, without mentioning the Trinity. It asks why Jesus and the Holy Spirit seem to have lesser roles than the Father in various verses. The overall purpose seems to be questioning the biblical basis for the doctrine of the Trinity.
The document discusses the meaning of "knowing God". It argues that knowing God is not merely subjective or based on feelings, but rather is an objective interactive relationship with God as revealed in Scripture. It involves understanding God's character through His Word and obeying His commands, not just having beliefs or experiences. Several Bible verses are presented showing that knowing God involves action, transforming the whole person, and having assurance rather than just feelings.
John saw a vision of an angel who showed him things. When John saw and heard these things, he fell down to worship the feet of the angel. The document then provides several bullet points discussing religious teachings and scripture references, including that people should not depend on human understanding but trust in Jesus Christ alone.
This document discusses how to gain assurance of salvation through faith in Jesus Christ. It provides several biblical passages that explain how salvation is a gift from God granted through faith, not works. It asserts that true believers can know they are saved based on evidence like having a new nature oriented towards righteousness, exhibiting the fruit of the Spirit, practicing righteous living, and demonstrating love for fellow believers. Even if Christians sin, God's grace through repentance and the blood of Jesus allows sins to be forgiven. Overall, the document aims to give Christians biblical reasons to have confidence in their salvation.
The document is a confession from someone who was raised Roman Catholic but struggled to understand the Holy Trinity doctrine. They earnestly asked God questions about the identity of Jesus Christ and His relationship to God. Through numerous Bible verses, they conclude that Jesus Christ is the one true God, that He fulfilled the testament of salvation through His death on the cross, and that one can only come to the Father through believing in Jesus.
Our Walk In This World, 2 John, Adapted from a Steve Shepherd sermon http://www.sermoncentral.com/sermons/our-walk-in-this-world-steve-shepherd-sermon-on-christian-values-150915.asp
Is it fair or accurate to say that per Jesus’ promise in John 14:12 "…and greater works than these shall he do" that any believer in Jesus should be able to raise the dead as Jesus did to Lazarus, the son of the widow of Nain, and Jairus' daughter?
John 14:10-12
10 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.
11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake.
12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
In addition to Jesus Himself being raised from the dead, the Bible records nine other instances of people rising from the dead.
This document discusses being "born again" from a passage in the Bible (John 3:1-7). It describes how Nicodemus came to Jesus at night and asked how someone can be born again when they are old. Jesus explains that one must be born of water and the spirit. The document then provides explanations of what it means to be born again spiritually and why it is necessary. It outlines the differences between being born physically and being born of God spiritually. Finally, it gives steps on how to be born again by believing in Jesus, and signs that indicate someone has been born again, such as knowing you belong to God and stopping sin. It concludes by saying that after being born again, one must grow

To truly calculate the cost, you must consider both the cost of action and the cost of inaction not only for the near term but in the long term. Jesus calls us to a decision. Choose wisely.
Jesus warns his disciples about hypocrisy among religious leaders and tells them not to fear those who can kill the body. He instructs them not to fear people as much as God, who has authority over both body and soul. Jesus promises to acknowledge before God those who acknowledge him before men, but those who deny him will be denied. The Holy Spirit will give disciples words to say when they are brought before leaders to defend their faith.
Jesus responds to those accusing him of casting out demons by Beelzebul by pointing out the logical flaws in their argument. He lays out that a kingdom divided against itself cannot stand, and that if Satan is divided and casting people out of himself, his kingdom would collapse. Jesus further explains that if his exorcisms are by the power of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon them. He tells the crowds that whoever is not with him is against him. Jesus rebukes the generation seeking signs, saying the only sign given will be the sign of Jonah. He emphasizes the importance of hearing and keeping God's word for true blessing.
Jesus teaches his disciples about prayer in response to their request. He gives them a model prayer focusing on hallowing God's name, desiring his kingdom to come, and acknowledging dependence on him for daily provision and forgiveness. Jesus encourages prayer by reminding them of God's generosity like a father who provides for his children, and says God will give the Holy Spirit to those who ask. He emphasizes making prayer a priority and having the right priorities in prayer, such as honoring God and trusting in his provision.
Martha welcomed Jesus into her home but became distracted serving Him, while her sister Mary sat at His feet listening to His teaching. Martha complained to Jesus that Mary wasn't helping her, but Jesus said Mary chose the better part by spending time with Him rather than being distracted by many tasks. The passage emphasizes the importance of sitting at Jesus' feet to listen to Him over being busy doing things for Him without truly focusing on Him.
The seventy-two disciples returned from their mission joyfully saying that even demons were subject to them in Jesus' name. Jesus tells them that he saw Satan fall from heaven and that they have been given authority over all the power of the enemy. He says to rejoice not that spirits are subject to them, but that their names are written in heaven. Jesus rejoices that God has revealed these things to the disciples and not the wise and understanding. All things have been handed over to Jesus by God and no one knows the Son except the Father. Jesus tells the disciples that many prophets and kings desired to see and hear what they have seen and heard.

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375

2. John 8:31-33
So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed
him, “If you abide in my word, you are truly
my disciples, and you will know the truth,
and the truth will set you free.” They
answered him, “We are offspring of
Abraham and have never been enslaved to
anyone. How is it that you say, ‘You will
become free’?”

3. John 8:34-37
Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly, I say to
you, everyone who practices sin is a slave
to sin. The slave does not remain in the
house forever; the son remains forever. So
if the Son sets you free, you will be free
indeed. I know that you are offspring of
Abraham; yet you seek to kill me because
my word finds no place in you.

4. John 8:38-40
I speak of what I have seen with my Father,
and you do what you have heard from your
father.” They answered him, “Abraham is
our father.” Jesus said to them, “If you
were Abraham’s children, you would be
doing the works Abraham did, but now you
seek to kill me, a man who has told you the
truth that I heard from God. This is not
what Abraham did.

You are doing the works your father did.”
They said to him, “we were not born of
sexual immorality. We have one Father—
even God.” Jesus said to them, “If God
were your Father, you would love me, for I
came from God and I am here. I came not
of my own accord, but he sent me. Why do
you not understand what I say? It is
because you cannot bear to hear my word.

6. John 8:44
You are of your father the devil, and your
will is to do your father’s desires. He was a
murderer from the beginning, and does not
stand in the truth, because there is no truth
in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his
own character, for he is a liar and the father
of lies.

7. John 8:45-47
But because I tell the truth, you do not
believe me. Which one of you convicts me
of sin? If I tell the truth, why do you not
believe me? Whoever is of God hears the
words of God. The reason why you do not
hear them is that you are not of God.”
