This is what we preach
- John 21:1-14
The Lord Assures Us of His Resurrection
- John 21:1-14
In this post-resurrection appearance, Jesus demonstrates His continued care and provision for His disciples through a miraculous catch of fish and shared meal on the shore. The encounter reveals how the risen Christ leads His people to Himself, sustains them for His work, and sovereignly blesses their labors according to His perfect timing and purpose.
- John 20:19-31
What Should I Do with Jesus – Should I Believe Him?
- John 20:19-31
John 20:19-31 explores the essence of belief, particularly through Jesus' appearance to His disciples and Thomas's journey from doubt to faith. True belief is defined as trusting God's Word even when circumstances, like fear or the unbelievable nature of the resurrection, scream the opposite. This passage emphasizes that belief originates from God's Word, which brings peace and the promise of life in Jesus' name to all who trust Him.
- Luke 24:1-12
What Should I Do with Jesus – Should I Listen to Him?
- Luke 24:1-12
Luke 24:1-12 recounts the discovery of the empty tomb, where the women were reminded by angels of Jesus' own words foretelling His resurrection. Though the disciples, including Peter, initially struggled to comprehend, remembering and finally heeding Jesus' prior statements brought them immense comfort. Christ's fulfillment of His promises and His subsequent appearances underscored the profound peace and understanding that comes from truly listening to Him.
- Luke 23:46-47
What Should I Do with Jesus – Should I Glorify Him?
- Luke 23:46-47
Our response to Jesus' sacrifice is the focus, inspired by the centurion's declaration in Luke 23:46-47, who, upon witnessing Jesus' death, glorified God by affirming, "This man really was righteous." We glorify Jesus when we confess His inherent and eternal righteousness, acknowledging His perfect nature. Furthermore, true glorification involves recognizing and confessing that Jesus Himself is the source of our own righteousness before God.
- 1 Corinthians 10:14-22
What Should I Do with Jesus – Should I Commune with Him?
- 1 Corinthians 10:14-22
Drawing from 1 Corinthians 10:14-22, the profound choice of spiritual allegiance is examined: we are either in communion with Jesus or with the deceptions of the Devil. The Apostle Paul warns against idolatry, highlighting that partaking in the Lord's Supper signifies a true communion with the body and blood of Christ. This sacred act not only connects us intimately with Jesus but also unites believers as one body in Him, contrasting sharply with any association with demonic influences.
