False praise weakens convictions - vs. 24 II. He was flattered by his friends: (vs. 22-23) 1. He would have assumed a distinction belonging to God alone 2.

The sad denial of Peter: (vs. 15-27) A. Peter's fear - John 13: 7-8 B. Peter's tears - Luke 22: 61-62 C. Anna's question & Jesus answer - vs. 20-23 D. Peter's duet with the rooster - vs. 24-27 II. The sorrowful remorse of Judas: (Matt. 27: 1-5) A. Some similarities between Peter and Judas B. What is the difference between repentance and regret? 1. The need to repent of our repentance - 2 Cor. 7: 10 C. What was the difference between Peter and Regret? 1. "Changed his mind" or The despair of guilt? - Matt. 27: 3 2. Embracing the promise of "no condemnation" - Rom. 8: 1 D. What is true Biblical repentance? 1. If we still struggle with it... did we really repent? 2. Shifting the affections of your heart 3. Loving your savior more than your sin 4. Dying to self & living unto God - Gal. 2: 20 "Because we carry about with us (as scripture tells us) a 'body of death' biased towards evil, repentance is to continue through the whole course of our lives. Hence it is every man's duty to repent of each particular sin of which he is conscious, and to do so with particular care." ... "In the covenant of grace God has made full provision for the preservation of believers in a state of salvation, so that, although even the smallest if sins deserves damnation, there is no sin so great that it will bring damnation to those that repent. This renders the constant preaching of repentance essential."

We will see today that the Gospel is good news because it brings grace, and mercy, and hope; and it does so because our "Savior is Risen... He is Risen Indeed!" I. The reality of the resurrection: (vs. 1-10) A. A few wrong-headed theories that deny it (listed by Louis Berkhof) 1. The falsehood theory - the body was stolen 2. The swoon theory - He merely passed out or fainted, and revived in the tomb 3. The vision theory - those who saw Him were having visions or hallucinations B.

Why the early Church fathers chose "counselor" or comforter" 2. Why "advocate" especially doesn't fit chapter 16: 6-11 C. The need to adjust two assumptions often forced upon our text 1. The nature of the legal assistance the Holy Spirit promises a. A "witness" - not an attorney 2. Where is the courtroom - and who is on trial? D. The Christian faith on trial in our lives II. What is His ministry to us and why should we care? A. He is a witness against the accusations of our sufferings 1. How people sometimes try to help you with your grief and sufferings a. Give simple answers to what they see as a simple problem b. Minimize your pain as an over-reaction c. Like Job's friends - play pin the blame on you! 2. The presence of the comforter reminds us we are loved B. He is a witness against the accusations of our sins and shortcomings 1. The weight of an impossible calling 2. The empowering strength of an ever present Spirit C. He is a witness against the accusations of our surroundings 1. Seeing Christ as He truly is 2. Seeing the world as it truly is 3.

Jesus is not just one of many ways to God, He is the way, and the only way! I. Jesus is the way: (vs. 4-6a) A. The meaning of "The Way" 1. A path from one place to another / a through-fare B. The metaphor - How someone lives their life - Isa. 35: 8 1. Living your life in obedience to God's word - Duet. 4: 33, Heb. "halakhah" C. The message - Jesus as The Word made flesh is "The Way" 1. The alternative to "universalism" and "easy-believism" II. Jesus is The Truth: (vs. 6b) A. He is The Way because He is The Truth - John 1: 14, 17 B. Not a message about what condemns - but what saves C. An exclusive Gospel - or- an inclusive Gospel? "The law of Moses was halakhah [or] the way. Unless [the Jewish people] lapses into formalism and legalism (which, they often did), God's people knew that torah (law) was not merely a set of rules and regulations; it was a manual for a blessed life. That was why Moses urged them to "choose life" [in Deuteronomy 30: 19] and why the book of Psalms had opened with a poem describing the blessed life of the torah-guided man (Ps. 1: 1-2). Nevertheless, torah had been given to them in the form of written words. But now - as John had already explained in his prologue - the Word made flesh had come! So, Jesus is saying "Thomas, don't you see that, now I am halakhah?" He is the true torah, the true Word, and the true Way" (pg. 71) "Lessons From the Upper Room" - Sinclair Ferguson Intro: Today we will try to unpack Jesus demand that we trust in Him exclusively.

Today it has come to mean something else entirely. Today we will see that, as we attempt to put on the disciples sandals, and hear what Jesus says to them from their experience and perspective. A. A little background to Matt. 5: 41 1. Historical context - a mush resented and oppressive practice 2. Jesus teaching - respond to injustice with acts of extreme kindness 3.

A new commandment - or restating an old one? - Lev. 19: 18 1. It's a new commandment for two reasons a. Never had anyone but Jesus exemplified this kind of love before b. He narrowed the command from loving our neighbor to loving one another C. A particular application in mind - the covenant community/the church D. A love grounded in the redeeming work of Christ - vs. 35, 1 John 2: 7-10, 4: 11 III. A reminder that our love must be bathed in humility: (vs. 36-38) A.

Here is the video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QXHWTrys3RY Intro: The last couple of weeks have been difficult for many to process in light if the assassination of Charlie Kirk. Today we will try to get a Biblical perspective on how we can demonstrate a confident and courageous faith in the midst of uncertainty: I. Facing uncertainty with a confident with a confident faith: (vs. 18-26) A. How do we have confidence in the midst of uncertainty? - vs. 19-20 B. How do we have a confident faith in the face of death? - vs. 21-23 C. How do we have a confident faith that results in a life of joy? - vs. 24-26 II. Facing uncertainty with a courageous faith: (vs. 27-30) A. Christian courage is a sign of God's judgment - vs. 28a B. Christian courage is a sign of true faith - vs. 28b C. Christian embraces suffering as an honor - vs. 29 D. Christian courage is strengthened by shared struggle - vs. 30 Conclusion: Courage for the Christian is not simply about gritting our teeth and trying to act brave, it's about treasuring something greater than our fears. The Gospel of grace gives us that "something greater"... a Savior who loved us to the point of death, and now reigns over every power and authority. When Christ is your treasure, you will discover a courage not rooted in your own resolve, but in the unshakable worth of the Gospel itself, and the Savior you embrace.

In these closing verses Jesus summarizes who He is, what He has done, and what He calls us to. I. The significance of Jesus coming: (vs. 44-45) A. The identity of who it is who came 1. He is God the son - eternally one with the Father B. The impact of understanding that truth 1. The God who is far away - or the God who draws close? 2. The God who doesn't care - or the God who loves? II. The significance of Jesus dividing: (vs. 46) A. Earthly division that is the solution to all the other divisions B. The deepest division that is the solution to all other divisions 1. The darkness that is the solution to all other divisions 2. The light that calls us from darkness - and brings a deeper divide 3. We are not only to dwell in the light - but become the light - Matt. 5: 14-16 III. The significance of Jesus words: (vs. 47-48) A. Jesus calls us from darkness to light... how? - By His word! B. What did this mean to His listeners then? - What does it mean to us now? 1. Who and what will judge those who rejected Him then? 2. Who and what will judge us who reject Him now? a. God'e general revelation given through creation - Rom. 1: 18-21, 25 b. God's moral law written upon our hearts - Rom. 2: 1-16 c. God's special revelation given through scripture - Rom. 2: 17-24 C.

The passage before us today will answer that question by giving us the anatomy of their unbelief, and not surprisingly we will find that salvation begins and ends with the will of God. I.

Some evidence that demands a verdict 1. Not a lack of evidence - but an unwillingness to consider it II. Their unbelief was used by God to fulfill prophecy: (vs. 37-38) A. The prophet Isaiah clearly anticipated the rejection of the Messiah - vs. 38 1. Two questions and two expected negative responses - Isa. 53: 1 B. The rejection of Jesus was not an accident - but predetermined 1. That prophecy might be fulfilled - and the crucifixion set in motion 2. The counter-balancing truth of divine sovereignty and human responsibility III. Their unbelief ultimately resulted from God's eternal decree: (vs. 39-43) A.

Love pursues peace and edification over personal rights and privileges (vs. 19) A. Pursue the things which make for peace - Phil. 2: 1-5 B. Pursue the things that build one another up - 1 Cor. 14: 26 IV. Love never flaunts it's liberty in the face of the weak (vs. 20-23) A. The weak believer is still a work of God B. Sacrificing a liberty is "well please" to God C. When in doubt... don't Conclusion 1 Cor. 10: 31-33 Intro: In verses 13-23 Paul gives us four aspects in which Christian love will work itself out in the believer's life in the area of exercising his Christian liberty.

What are we to do with this charge, and what are the implications if it's true? I. Should we consider this passage to be the inspired word of God? A. How do we conclude this passage is not inspired? B. What are the implications for the reliability of our Bibles? 1. We have good reason to believe the original text is preserved. 2. The vast number of scribal changes are minor or insignificant. 3. Of the small number of variants, our methodology can determine the original text. 4. The unsolved variants are few and not material to the story or teaching of the N.T. C. What are the implications of textual criticism for how we know God? II. Is the story in this text historical? A. John's closing comment about additional stories - John 21: 24-25 B. How should we view extra-Biblical stories and testimonies? 1. Not equal with scripture - but still have value - 1 Thess. 5: 11, Gal. 6: 2 III. Is the theme of this text consistent with the Bible? A. Jesus confronts the hypocrisy of the Pharisees/ With compassion calls her to repentance/ In mercy offers her forgiveness/ In holiness charges her son to sin no more.

Today we will see two groups respond to that offer, and their responses will reveal they are committed to truth or indifferent to truth: I. The response of the unbelieving fools of the world to Jesus: (vs. 40-52) A. The response of drivel or malarkey 1. They were too lazy to investigate the truth - vs. 41-42 2. They were too proud and boastful - vs. 48 3. They claimed to know the law but didn't - vs. 51, Deut. 1: 16-17, Prov. 18:17 4. They used the truth as a weapon to grasp power - vs. 52 B. The response of derision or mockery 1. They derided the soldiers for being arrested by Christ words - vs. 47-48 2. They mocked Nicodemus for suggesting they had forgotten Deut. 1: 16-17 - vs. 52 C. The response of denunciation or condemnation - vs. 49 1. At the heart of their response was rebellion against God II. The response of believing fools for Christ to the world: (vs. 40-52) A. We must be principled in our commitment to the truth 1. Nicodemus wanted to get to the bottom of the truth about Jesus - vs. 50-51 B. We must be prudent with our words - vs. 47-52 1. A time to be silent and a time to speak - Prov. 26: 4-5 C. We must be patient for fruit 1. Our desire so see Nicodemus say more and do more is frustrating "In Nicodemus we do not see faith in full bloom, but only in seed form.

Be secured by the Redeemer: (vs. 38-39a) "And the one who comes to Me I will certainly not cast out" V. Be submissive like our Redeemer: (vs. 38-39a) "For I have come down from Heaven, not to so My own will bit the will of Him who sent Me" - Phil. 2: 5-8, 1 Peter 2: 21-25, 3: 1, 7 VI. Be hopeful in our Redeemer: (vs. 39b-40) "Every one who beholds the Son and believes in Him, may have eternal life; and I Myself will raise him up on the last day" - Romans 8: 23 VII. Behold the unshakable foundation of it all - God's will: (vs. 40) "For this is the will of my Father" - Isa. 46: 9-11 "Scripture teaches a counsel that cannot be changed, a calling that cannot be resolved, an inheritance that cannot be defiled, a foundation that cannot be shaken, a seal that cannot be broken, and a life that cannot perish," - William Hendricksen Intro: As we look at this passage before us today Jesus is going to tell this group of unbelieving Jews who were pursuing Him exactly where they stand with God.

Because the Jews who were relentlessly pursuing Jesus misunderstood who He was, why He had come, and what He was offering them, it resulted in an ever descending series of spiritual consequences: I. A wrong premise leads to a wrong conclusion: (vs. 28-29) A. Their focus? - Their own individual acts of righteousness - vs. 28 1. "what shall we do, that we may work the works of God?" B. Christ focus? - His righteousness that is given by grace - vs. 29 1. "this is the work of God. that you may believe in Him who He has sent" 2. Even the faith we're given to trust the Savior is a work of God II. A wrong conclusion leads to a wrong paradigm: (vs. 30-32) A. Their unbelief is revealed by their request - vs. 30 1. "What then do you do for a sign, that we may see, and believe you?" B. They wanted Jesus to repeat an O.T, miracle - vs. 31, Exodus 16: 1-4, 11-15 C. Better offer - better bread - vs. 32 1. "My Father who gives the true bread out of Heaven" - present tense! III. A wrong paradigm leads to no seat at the table: (vs. 33-35) A. A bread that fills the belly - or a bread that gives life - vs. 33 B. Who the "True Bread" is - made clear - vs. 34-35 1. "I am the Bread of Life" - (the first of 7 "I Am's") C. What the "Promise" is - made sure - 34-35 1.

"There came other small boats from Tiberias" - vs. 23 2. "They themselves... came to Capernaum seeking Jesus" - vs. 24 II. Christ exposes their motivation: (vs. 25-26) A. A Perplexing unanswered question - vs. 25 1. "Rabbi, when did you get here?" B. Wrong motives and wrong desires - vs. 26 1. What they were not - "you seek me not because you saw the signs" 2.

"Do not work for food that perishes, but for food that endures to eternal life" B. God has set His seal upon Christ alone - vs. 27b 1.

Jesus response - "Withdrew again to the mountain by Himself alone" 1. Was an act of judgment and warning 2. Was an act of mercy and comfort II. The disciples who were frightened: (vs. 16-25) A.

Intro: The story of redemption repeatedly tells is that God has made gracious covenant promises to His people to save them from their sins, nowhere is this saving mission of Christ better summarized that in the words of John 3: 16 Review: A.… Jerry Elwell 2593 https://gracegospelmontana.sermon.net/22251238/controller/link/action/podcast/type/audio_godsolovedohn31621/id/4082875.mp3 https://gracegospelmontana.sermon.net/22251238 Scripture: John 3:16-3:21, Series: John. 2024 Part#12 Sun, 07 Apr 2024 16:26:06 +0000 Dan Blied Grace Gospel Fellowship, Hamilton, MT Grace Gospel Fellowship, Hamilton, MT Grace Gospel Fellowship, Hamilton, MT … Dan Blied 3091 https://gracegospelmontana.sermon.net/22251222/controller/link/action/podcast/type/audio_bondagedeliverancepart2/id/4082538.mp3 https://gracegospelmontana.sermon.net/22251222 Series: The Old Testament Part#7 Sun, 31 Mar 2024 16:35:38 +0000 Jerry Elwell Intro: The unbelieving Jews charged Jesus to give them a sign if He was really the Christ.

We will look at three testimonies that will hopefully help us better understand the steps to true Biblical discipleship I. Discipleship begins with us receiving & responding to testimony about Jesus: (vs. 35-39) A. The difficulty of believing someone else's testimony - vs. 35-36 B. The absolute necessity of a given testimony to acquiring knowledge 1. The gaining of knowledge requires faith in another person's testimony 2. Reliance on testimony is fundamental to knowing about reality in general C. Biblical discipleship begins with receiving to the truth about Jesus 1. Andrew and John both responded by following Jesus II. Discipleship leads to giving testimony about Jesus to others: (vs. 40-42a) A. Sharing the truth about Jesus results from first knowing Jesus - vs. 41 1. You cannot separate the two. 2. some may have the "gift"... but all have the "duty" B. Four evangelistic earmarks of Andrew 1. He simply recounted what he saw, heard, and experienced 2. He first witnessed to someone close 3. He was willing to risk his relationship with Peter 4. He had built trust and credibility, which earned him a hearing III. Discipleship results in believing testimony from Jesus about who we are and will be in Him: (vs. 42b) A. Simon gets a new name! 1. It is not indicative of who he is - but declarative of who he will become B. Like Peter, our struggle is much the same 1. The constant battle to match our walk with calling and identity 2.

In doing so we will pose two questions first to John The Baptist, and secondly to John The Apostle. The questions are, "who is Jesus", and "what will Jesus do?" I. The questioning of John The Baptist A. Who is Jesus according to John The Baptist? - vs. 29 1. If John believes Jesus to be a sacrificial figure? - vs. 29 2. An "apocalyptic warrior lamb" or a "suffering lamb"? a. The evidence of 1st century Jewish apocalyptic literature b. And the winner is... "apocalyptic warrior lamb" B.

Recap: Some key points set forth by John thus far. 1. The deity, eternality and creatorship of Christ - vs. 1-3 2. In both creation and redemption Christ is the Light that overcomes the darkness - vs. 4-5 3. John the Baptist is the Messianic Forerunner to the now revealed Messiah - vs. 6-8 4. The announcement of the Messianic Mission of Jesus - vs. 9-10 5. The tragedy of the rejection by His own Jewish people - vs. 11 6. The assurance that His Messianic Mission did not fail - vs. 12-13 Historical Context: Note the strong parallels between John 1: 14-18 and Exodus 33 and 34 1. In (Exodus 33: 14), Israel finds grace in God's sight, while in (John 1: 16), Those in the New Exodus (the disciples of Jesus) receive grace upon grace. 2. In (exodus 33: 20) we read that no one can see God's face and live, while (John 1: 18) it is reaffirmed that no one has seen God at any time. 3. In (exodus 33: 23) and (34: 6-7), God's glory passes by Moses, while in the New Exodus, all of Jesus's disciples behold His glory (John 1: 14). 4. In (Exodus 34: 6), God is said to be loving-kindness and truth, while on (John 1: 14, 17), we are told that grace and truth are manifest in Jesus Christ 5. In (Exodus 33: 7), we are reminded that God dwelt in the midst of His people Israel in the tabernacle (tent), while in (John 1: 14), John tells us that Jesus pitched His tent among us by becoming flesh. 6. In (Exodus 34: 27-28), we are reminded that Moses gave Israel the law, a point reiterated in (John 1:17). 7. And finally, in (Exodus 34: 32-35), we read of Moses as covenant mediator, while in (verses 17-18) of his prologue, John tells us that Jesus is the mediator between God and man. I. The word that became flesh: (vs. 14) A. A shocking declaration to the Jews - The carpenter's son from Nazareth is God! B. A pointer and direct attack on the heresy of docetism - 2 John vs. 7, 1 John 1: 1-3. II. The prophet who gave witness: (vs. 15) A. A witness that brought both good news and bad news 1. The Messiah has come... both the events of Exodus 33 & 34 are about to repeat themselves. III. The people who receive grace upon grace: (vs. 16-17) A. Contrasting the law of Moses with the grace of Christ 1. Christ is the fulfillment of all that was promised in the old covenant. 2. Christ is therefore superior to the Moses and the old covenant. 3. The abridged "cliff notes" for the book of Hebrews. IV. The Son who explains the Father: (vs. 18) A. The Father is the God who cannot be seen - vs. 18a, Exodus 33: 20 1. What about Exodus 24: 9-11? B. The Son is the God who can be seen - John 3: 13, 31. Conclusion: "No one, of all the witnesses to God, has witnessed to God like the one who was from the beginning with God and was God. No one ascended to God but He who descended from Him (John 3: 13). He who comes from above is above all and bears witness to what he has seen and heard (John 3: 31). That is the great thrust of the prologue, and it keeps returning in the Gospel. It is only in the light that we can understand what the Gospel will from this point say about the coming and work of Jesus Christ" - Herman Ridderbos Intro: In the final verses of the prologue to John's gospel today we will find a fullness of grace and truth in the Christ that is a cup brimming to the top, so overflowing that we receive grace upon grace.

A few things that need to be clarified 1. Creation did not result from God being lonely and needing us to love Him. 2. Light and darkness are not two eternal forces warring against each other. 3.

He was more concerned about his private prayer with God than his public pronouncement to man. B. He was more concerned about the reputation of God than recognition by man. C. He was more concerned about his testimony before God than his testimony before Ahab. Intro: Fear can strip us of the ability to even do the routine things of life, including serving God.

Baptism id the external expression of that internal reality! IV.

While many did not understand, some did and were moved by Jesus compassion and Mission for the lost. This week in Or study of Luke 8:4-15, we will explore how: 1. What the Parable of the Sower teaches about the conditions of the heart (the soil) 2. How our hearts receive the Word (the seed) 3. Why the Gospel takes root in a willing and noble heart. I. Stories of the Heart vv,4-8 A. Parables are not stories intended to bring us our of ourselves into fantasy or false realities, but stories for us to discover ourselves. Parables are stories for the heart about the heart. B. Parables uniquely connect the imagination with truth through story. Parables prepare the heart to hear God's truth and awaken the conscience, opening our eyes to sinful blindness. C. 2 Samuel 12:1-15 II. Conditions of the Heart wv.9-10 A. Jesus reveals universal conditions of the heart. Even hearts that reject the gospel are still a fulfillment of God's redemptive plan. B. Matthew 13:14-17 C. Rom.1:21 "For though they knew God, they did not glorify him as God or show gratitude. Instead, their thinking became worthless, and their senseless hearts Were darkened" III. Descriptions of the Heart wv.11-15 A. A Hardened Heart (v.12)- A heart hostile or simply uninterested in the Gospel. 1. 1 Pet. S:8 B. A Shallow Heart (v.13)- A heart "brushed" by Christianity… but never truly penetrated. C. An Infested Heart (v.14)- A heart susceptible to get caught up in the worries of the world and be easily influenced. D. A Noble Heart (v.15)- A heart undivided, undistracted, receptive to the truth. This is a blessed person moved and changed by the Gospel- whereby God forges a willing heart into a vessel of nobility. 1. 2 Tim. 2:21 Summary: Jesus told parables often to those around him.

I. He must be above reproach: (Titus 1: 6) A. He must live above justifiable accusation B. Not a goal he strives for, but a standard he meets II. He must be the husband of one wife: (Titus 1: 6) A. There are many different views of one wife 1. "Wife" refers to the church 2. Paul is prohibiting single men from serving 3. Paul is prohibiting polygamy - one wife at a time view 4. Paul is prohibiting a widower - one wife in a lifetime view 5. Paul is prohibiting a divorced man from serving B. What is Paul really trying to say? 1. Literally means "a one woman man" 2. He is faithful and devoted to his one wife III. He must have children who believe: (Titus 1: 6) A. There is again much confusion on this issue 1. Does this exclude a man who's wife is barren? 2. Does this mean the elder's children must all be "saved"? 3. If an elder's wife gets pregnant, does he step down? B. "Children who believe" is best translated as "faithful children" 1. Children who manifest a loyalty and respect unto their parents, and the faith of their parents. Conclusion: For an elder, his family is really his credentials for service. Paul says in 1 Tim. 3: 5 "If a man does not know how to manage his own household, how will he take care of the church of God?

What problem with their reasoning does Jesus' words in verse 3 point out? How does this statement compare with his statement in John 5:14? What conclusions can you draw about the relationship between sin and suffering? Do you view illness or handicap more like Jesus or more like the disciples? Why? Tuesday: Why is it a problem for the Pharisees that Jesus did good on the Sabbath? What does this tell you about their view of righteousness? How was it different than Jesus' view? What does verse 34 reveal about the Pharisees' view of the relation between sin and suffering? How might this have prejudiced their opinion of Jesus? Wednesday: Re-read John 9. Why do you think John includes the parents' testimony before the Pharisees? Why might it be important for us, as well as for the Pharisees, to establish that the man really had been blind? Thursday: Have the Pharisees already decided that Jesus is guilty? What evidence in this chapter supports your answer? What purpose do they have in questioning this man and his parents? For what do the Pharisees hope when they question the man a second time? How would this help their purposes? Why is the man's answer in verse 25 wise? How does it foil the plans of the Pharisees? Friday: What is the man's conclusion concerning Jesus (vv. 30- 33)? How is this conclusion an answer to the Pharisees' problem in verse 16? What were the dangers of answering the Pharisees this way? Why do you think Jesus comes to the man now (v. 35) and not when he was being questioned? Saturday: Re-read John 9. What do you think Jesus means in verse 39? In this chapter, who are the blind that see? Who are the seeing that become blind? How appropriate is this statement to the events in this chapter? What does this tell you about Jesus' skills as a teacher? When have you felt as if Jesus waited too long to intervene? Looking back, how do you think this wait helped you? Hurt you? What would you suggest to people who feel as if God has deserted them? The Miracle (9:1-12) The deed (1-7) The effect (8-12) The Investigation (9: 13-34) The man examined (13-18) His parents examined (19-23) The man re-examined (24-34) The Sequel (9: 35-41) Confession (35-38) Condemnation (39-41) Application: Looking at the "EyeChart" 1) How they saw the suffering man - the disciples saw him as ___________ - the neighbors saw him as __________ - the Pharisees saw him as __________ - Jesus saw him as __________ 2) The spiritual parable - how they saw Jesus The blind man The Pharisees You and me For further thought: Monday: Why might the disciples have thought that sin caused this man's blindness? What problem with their reasoning does Jesus' words in verse 3 point out? How does this statement compare with his statement in John 5:14? What conclusions can you draw about the relationship between sin and suffering? Do you view illness or handicap more like Jesus or more like the disciples? Why? Tuesday: Why is it a problem for the Pharisees that Jesus did good on the Sabbath? What does this tell you about their view of righteousness? How was it different than Jesus' view? What does verse 34 reveal about the Pharisees' view of the relation between sin and suffering? How might this have prejudiced their opinion of Jesus? Wednesday: Re-read John 9. Why do you think John includes the parents' testimony before the Pharisees? Why might it be important for us, as well as for the Pharisees, to establish that the man really had been blind? Thursday: Have the Pharisees already decided that Jesus is guilty? What evidence in this chapter supports your answer? What purpose do they have in questioning this man and his parents? For what do the Pharisees hope when they question the man a second time? How would this help their purposes? Why is the man's answer in verse 25 wise? How does it foil the plans of the Pharisees? Friday: What is the man's conclusion concerning Jesus (vv. 30- 33)? How is this conclusion an answer to the Pharisees' problem in verse 16? What were the dangers of answering the Pharisees this way? Why do you think Jesus comes to the man now (v. 35) and not when he was being questioned? Saturday: Re-read John 9. What do you think Jesus means in verse 39? In this chapter, who are the blind that see? Who are the seeing that become blind? How appropriate is this statement to the events in this chapter? What does this tell you about Jesus' skills as a teacher? When have you felt as if Jesus waited too long to intervene? Looking back, how do you think this wait helped you? Hurt you? What would you suggest to people who feel as if God has deserted them?

Wherefore, let us know that the gospel springs and issues out to us from the sole fountain of Your grace.

What became of those promises? Today we will consider a passage that will bring to light four points that will hopefully help us sort through some troubling questions regarding the Church and Israel: I. We see how God's promise to Israel being fulfilled in the Gospel A. "Christ came to redeem those under the law" - Galatians 4: 4-5 II. We see how the Gospel of grace is for both Jew and Gentile: (15: 11-12) A. The context - Jewish and Gentile believers clarifying the Gospel - vs. 1-10 B. The decision - Through faith alone, in Christ alone, by grace alone - vs. 11 C. The result - "And all the multitude kept silent" - vs. 12 III. We see how the restoration of Israel includes the promise of salvation to the Gentiles: (vs. 13-15) A. The speaker, James the Just - "Brethren, listen to me" - vs. 13 B. The message - God is "taking from among the Gentiles a people for His name." vs. 14 C. The proof - "The words of the prophets agree" - vs. 15, Amos 5: 1-3, Isa. 1: 9, 10: 22, Amos 9: 7-11 IV. We see how the Tabernacle of David being rebuilt is fulfilled in Christ reign over the Church: (vs. 16-19) A. A destruction not complete... and not permanent! - Amos 9: 11 B.

The point being that your perspective makes all the difference in the world. Paul said "I have learned to be content in whatever circumstance I am." What was the Apostle's secret? I. I am content because I know Christ: (Phil. 3: 7-10) II. I am content because I've invested my life in others: (Phil. 4: 1) III.

The doctrinal downgrade the early church faced: (vs. 1) A. False prophets - false gospel B. A troubling problem reappears - Gal. 2: 16, 3: 11 1. The heresy in your rear-view mirror may be closer than it appears! II. The dissension and debate it generated: (vs. 2) A. No sentimental namby-pamby spineless response B. No chance of agreeing to disagree C. No repeating former failures - Gal. 2: 11-13 III. The discussion and decision arrived at: (vs. 3-12) A. The dispatch to Jerusalem & ministry along the way - vs. 3-4 B. The circumcision party state their case - vs. 5 C. The apostles and elders respond - vs. 6-10 D. The true apostle's creed presented - vs. 11 E. The conclusion - grace and human effort mutually exclusive - vs. 12 Conclusion: "Controversy and religious strife, no doubt, are odious things; but there are times when they are a positive necessity. Unity and peace are very delightful; but they are bought too dead if they are bought at the expense of truth. It is a pity, no doubt that there should be so much controversy; but it is also a pity that human nature should be so bad as it is... It was a pity that Arius taught error about Christ's person: but it would have been a greater pity if Athansius had not opposed him. It was a pity that Tetzel went about preaching up the Pope's indulgences: it would have been a far grater pity if Luther had not withstood him. Controversy, in fact, is one of the conditions under which truth in every age has to be defended and maintained, and it is nonsense to ignore it." J. C. Ryle, a 19th century Anglican bishop Intro: Today we will look at the corrupting message of the Judaizers and we see why it was not the true gospel, what the apostolic response to it was, and how the early church handled such a difficult issue: I. The doctrinal downgrade the early church faced: (vs. 1) A. False prophets - false gospel B. A troubling problem reappears - Gal. 2: 16, 3: 11 1. The heresy in your rear-view mirror may be closer than it appears! II. The dissension and debate it generated: (vs. 2) A. No sentimental namby-pamby spineless response B. No chance of agreeing to disagree C. No repeating former failures - Gal. 2: 11-13 III. The discussion and decision arrived at: (vs. 3-12) A. The dispatch to Jerusalem & ministry along the way - vs. 3-4 B. The circumcision party state their case - vs. 5 C. The apostles and elders respond - vs. 6-10 D. The true apostle's creed presented - vs. 11 E. The conclusion - grace and human effort mutually exclusive - vs. 12 Conclusion: "Controversy and religious strife, no doubt, are odious things; but there are times when they are a positive necessity. Unity and peace are very delightful; but they are bought too dead if they are bought at the expense of truth. It is a pity, no doubt that there should be so much controversy; but it is also a pity that human nature should be so bad as it is...

After years of spiritual renewal, godly leadership and peace, Israel determines the solution to a leadership crisis is a new king like the surrounding nations. "Give us a king!" is Israel's demand and exposes Israel's desire for a visible, worldly security, thereby dismissing their difference as a chosen race whom God reigns as king. As disappointing as this moment is, Israel is a reflection of us. 1 Samuel chapter 8 is a reflection of our tendency to look to other means of security in times of crisis and dismiss our differences as Christ-followers. Thankfully, this reflection of dismissal is not met with an absence of hope. Instead, we see God's heartfelt love for his people throughout the Scriptures and a continued promise of renewal to ultimately restore his people through a dynasty that His one and only Son would ultimately reign forever. I. The leadership crisis: (v. 1-5) a. Deuteronomy 17:14-17 b. Israel's identity was in their King, but the murmuring's of comparison drew their desires away from discernment and into false security that mirrored surrounding nations. Murmuring turned to quiet discussion, quiet discussion turned to expressed desires, desires turned to coveting, coveting turned them away to deny what they already had. A sinful inward murmur when not confessed can turn to an expressed desire that may be disastrous to who you are and what you're meant to be. II. Our heart displayed (v.6-9) a. Psalm 139: 4-6 b. "Ah sweet sou, it is not your words that God so much regards, unless you try to give some eloquent speech. His eye is on the brokenness of your heart; and it is your heart that makes the very deepest inner parts of the Lord run over." -John Bunyan c. Psalm 38: 9-10 III. The solemn warning (v.10-18) a. What an Earthly king can take i. Your sons v.11 ii. Your daughters v.13 iii. Your best fields, vineyards, and olive orchards v.14 iv. Your seeds and harvest v.15 v. Your servants and maidservants, young men, best calves and best donkeys v.16 vi. Your small cattle v.17 vii. You v.17 b. What your Heavenly King has given i. Sons and daughters "I will give you offspring" Gen. 28: 13 ii. Land "I will give you land that I promised" Exodus 6: 8 iii. Food and provisions "The Lord will give you meat this evening and the bread you want in the morning" Ex. 16: 8 iv. Rest "The Lord your God will give you rest" Josh.1: 13 v. Your identity "I set you apart" Lev. 20:24 vi. Himself "I will take you as my people, and I will be your God" Ex. 6:7 IV. Our difference dismissed: Israel and us (v. 19-22) a. The OT is filled with the phrase " The Lord will give" because it is a story of a God loving a people who constantly turn away from Him. S solemn warning of what they will get when they give Themselves away and a reminder of who their God is and all He has given b. Chapter eight is a mirror; revealing Israel and us. How easily we misplace our trust and cast our eyes towards false security and away from the God of stability! V. Our difference declared: our God renews to restore a.

"Ah sweet sou, it is not your words that God so much regards, unless you try to give some eloquent speech. His eye is on the brokenness of your heart; and it is your heart that makes the very deepest inner parts of the Lord run over." -John Bunyan c. Psalm 38: 9-10 III. The solemn warning (v.10-18) a.

Your identity "I set you apart" Lev. 20:24 vi. Himself "I will take you as my people, and I will be your God" Ex. 6:7 IV. Our difference dismissed: Israel and us (v. 19-22) a. The OT is filled with the phrase " The Lord will give" because it is a story of a God loving a people who constantly turn away from Him. S solemn warning of what they will get when they give Themselves away and a reminder of who their God is and all He has given b. Chapter eight is a mirror; revealing Israel and us.

Your Fathers Killed the Prophets who Spoke of the Messiah - and you Killed the Messiah Himself: (vs. 51-53) A. Note several aspects of Stephen's indictment i. they were just like their fathers ii. they were stiff necked people and obstinate - Ex. 32:9, 33:5 iii. they were uncircumcised in heart and ears iv. they, having resisted the Holy Spirit were just as guilty as their fathers v. they had become the betrayers and murderers of the Messiah Conclusion: Matt. 23:27-37 "The Seven Woes of Christ upon an apostate Jewish leadership Next week: "God;s Precious Gift of Dying Grace" - Acts 7:54-60 Like Fathers ...

B. Psalm 145:18-19 "The Lord is near all who call out to him, all who call out to him with integrity". C.

Today we will consider two of them found in verse 6 & 7 1 . The Principle of Faith in a Sovereign God: (vs. 5b-6a) A. Your response to problems reveals your view of God - Ps. 35:1-5 B. How you deal with difficulty reflects your understanding of God's sovereignty - Ps. 115:3 i. are you an arminian? ii. is God impotent ... or omnipotent? - 2 Peter 3:9, Eph. 1:11, Rom. 9:16 iii. who is the principle figure in your landscape? C. Strong faith believes anything is possible with God i. the example of Abraham - Rom. 4:18-21, 10:17, Gen. 17:17 2. The Principle of Prayer From a Grateful Heart: (vs. 6b-7) A.

We will be using a question and answer format as we seek God's truth on this difficult issue: I. Matthew 18:15-18 (A) What kind of sin is in view here? (B) On what basis do we conclude that this was a private sin as opposed to a public offense? (C) What is the ultimate punishment which the church may give in the case of offenses which originally were more private? vs. 17 (D) If the ultimate and solemn punishment of excommunication must be enacted, what is the reason or cause which make it necessary in this example? (E) When during the process outlined in Matthew 18, does the offense clearly move from being a private offense to a more public one? (F) Is it necessary that every private sin which would be scandalous if publicly known, be told to the church and thereby become public knowledge? (G) Are there some sins which though previously private, must be told to the church no matter if the person has repented or not? III. Jn. 9-19 (H) Once the church has been told of the sin, and it has become more public, does this mean that the members should feel free to tell others outside the church about it? (I) Once the private sin has become public by telling it to the church, does this mean that excommunication should automatically follow? (J) If the last step in our text before excommunication is for the offender to hear the church, in what way(s) should the church speak? 1. Public rebuke - 1 Tim. 5:20 2. Social avoidance - 2 Thess. 3:6, 10-15 *General Biblical principles gleaned from Matthew 18:15-18 1. Limit the knowledge of the offense to a circle no larger than the particular case demands. 2. Exposure can be a powerful motivation to repent. a) The example f Achan - Joshua 1:1, 16-21 b) The example of David - 2 Samuel 12:1- 15 3.
