Revelations: The focus of Revelations is a revelation of Jesus Christ - His person, His Characteristics, His purpose & plan for us. Jesus as Bridegroom; King of Kings; and Judge 2. Bridegroom: Gospel story revealed in the context of a Jewish wedding. 3. Sovereign King: Revelations 19:11-16 Symbolism brought to life. How should we respond to a mighty conquering king? 4. Righteous Judge: If you loved someone passionately, had great power, and saw injustice - would you not step in and make it right? Get to understand what Justice and Judgment really mean. Wilderness Wisdom (4 sermons) The Bible tells us, that of the people of Israel, the majority of them, God was not really pleased with. He loved them. He saved them. He got the Holy Ghost on them. He did miracles for them. But He was not well pleased with them, it says in 1 Corinthians 10. It takes faith to please God. Why was God not so pleased with them? Because they were overthrown in the wilderness. When a period, which God designed for their benefit, came into their life, instead of responding in a godly way and understanding what God wanted to do, they fought, wrestled, and eventually fell and failed in that wilderness experience. Jesus had a wilderness experience, it must be important. It can't be just an Old Testament thing. 1 Corinthians 10 says: it's a warning, a learning exercise, it's something for us to learn from, and it says: make sure you don't make the same mess ups that they made. The Slumber of Jezebel (3 sermons) Jezebel set out to destroy all messengers of the Lord, she destroyed prophets wherever she could find them, and raised up instead her own prophetic messengers. They brought a message which they called prophecy, but it was actually speaking words that were demonically empowered and seduced the nation. The nation came under it, literally fell asleep spiritually. In the Old and New Testament, the same spirit power, the same kind of operation, to lead people astray, so they don't walk in the destiny that God had for them. Extravagant Love (6 sermons) Teacher, what's the great commandment in the law? What's the most important thing in the Bible? And Jesus said to him: You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and all your mind and all your soul. He said: this is the first and great commandment. The second is like it: love your neighbor as yourself. So love God passionately, and love people fervently, including yourself. Fig Leaves and Other Coverings (4 sermons) The church of Jesus' day had the Bible, had the promises, had all kinds of things; but they did not have the heart of God for broken, damaged people. Jesus told the story of the Good Samaritan to actually confront what the church of His day was like. It was not connecting to those who were wounded, and desperately in need of healing. You need to get trained to flow in the gifts of the spirit, and the anointing of the Holy Ghost - so you have something to pour into people God is sending you to. God is sending every believer, every believer, God sends us somewhere into this community to influence people; and to do it, you have to enter their world. So what about these religious people? They had too many hang ups, and things in their life, and so they did not catch the heart of God. They actually hid away from being involved with the broken. They disconnected from the broken. Unashamed (5 sermons) Sin disconnects us from God, and puts shame around our life; but God wants us to be connected, so I can be myself, I don't have to wear a mask. I can actually just be true, authentic, genuine, but I have to learn the skills of building good relationships. Shame is an Identity Thief. It steals who we are.

Download and read online ebook Yeshua, the Crucified Serpent write by Rowland Stenrud. This book was released on 2012-11. Yeshua, the Crucified Serpent available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. It was the atheist, Jean Paul Sartre, who once said that, "Hell is other people." Rowland Stenrud's Yeshua, the Crucified Serpent is about how mankind's savior, Jesus of Nazareth, has saved men and women from this hell by making it possible, and indeed inevitable, for human beings to love one another and their Creator-Father, Yahweh God. This book is about the concept and practice of human and divine love. The words of Paul in 1 Corinthians 13:1-13, the Bible as a whole, and the reader's life experience will help in defining this. The author reviews what he knows about the concept and its related precepts and brings them to bear in this book. God himself is love, which should tell us how mysterious a thing love is. To acquire this ability to love, one must suffer in union with the suffering Christ. Salvation, pure and simple, is God delivering each one from the inability to love other human beings and the Creator Himself. The obstacle to this perfect love is the serpent of human wisdom and pride that existed even in Jesus. In his loving obedience to the Father, Jesus nailed this serpent to the cross. Yeshua, the Crucified Serpent attempts to show that the question of evil and suffering in the world is answered by Yahweh's eventual success in saving all of mankind. The majority of Christians believe in a number of key doctrines that the biblical authors do not unequivocally teach. A few verses may support these unbiblical doctrines but a greater number of verses, whose meaning is clearer, contradict the standard interpretation of these few verses. Other doctrines that Christians mistakenly believe in find support in this or that section of the Bible but are denied by the general thrust of the Bible as a whole. These unbiblical doctrines followed by the correct biblical teaching are: 1. Sometime in the distant past a large number of God's angels rebelled against Him becoming what are called devils or demons whose leader is known as Satan or Lucifer. The Bible teaches that the only agent of evil in the universe is man's heart. 2. Adam and Eve possessed the perfection of Jesus Christ before they sinned. If they had not sinned they would not have needed to be healed of any weakness. The Bible teaches that Adam and Eve could not have had eternal life even before they sinned without the work of Jesus of Nazareth. 3. Faith is an act of the free will of man. The Bible teaches that faith does involve man putting his trust in God's promises and revelation, but it is primarily a power given to man by God in order to enable him to see spiritual truth the natural man cannot see. Without this gift of the Holy Spirit, no human being can know God and be saved. 4. Ultimately speaking, we are saved by our faith. On the contrary, it is through Jesus's faith in and love for the Father that is the instrument of our salvation. 5. Jesus saved us by paying the penalty due our sins and therefore saving us from the just wrath of God. This is false. No one had to pay any penalty for God to forgive the sins of the human race. God relates to sinners on the basis of mercy and mercy is not mercy if the penalty for sin is paid. By going to the cross, Jesus healed our brokenness which forgiveness alone could not accomplish. 6. Satan and the sins of men are ultimately responsible for human suffering. False. God is ultimately responsible for human suffering as it is a necessary part of God's work of saving human beings. God Himself shares in all of our suffering: physical, emotional and spiritual even though He does not have a body or nervous system. 7. Salvation is about our eternal destiny. This is not correct. Salvation is about being saved from the idolatries, addictions, corruption, hatreds, evil deeds that afflict the unsav

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed.

The Wit and Wisdom of Jesus i Humor Versus Criticism "If we may believe our logicians, man is distinguished from all other creatures by the faculty of laughter. If vie consider the frequent reliefs we receive from it, and how often it breaks the gloom which is apt to depress the mind and damp our spirits, with transient unexpected gleams of joy, one would take care not to grow too wise for so great a pleasure of life.'--Addison. acontemporary of Emerson, in describing this American seer and prophet on the lecture-platform, speaks of his indulging in the " inaudible laugh," as here and there he slipped into grave discourse some expression of subtle and quiet humor. Very likely, too, the " inaudible laugh " and pleasant humor lent, not infrequently, winsome grace both to the preaching and the social converse of the seer and prophet of Galilee. I imagine him in his early ministry going forth with buoyant faith in men, --body healthy, mind teeming with lively imagery; loving Nature and solitude, heartily loving men and their comradeship; open to the comedy of life rather more than when further along the journey, when the tragedy of it projects itself more conspicuously into the foreground. To behold him a son of joyous humor as well as of tragic sadness surely enhances the lovableness and perfection of his character. Yea, to think of his having now and then a good laugh in him, a free and genuine laugh, with the ring of innocent childhood and Nature's own sincerity--this also is not so shocking to the writer as once it was. Without losing his "weeping Christ," he sees him otherwise than holding the finical sentiment which Emerson seems to quote with approval from Lord Chesterfield, --"I am sure that since I have had the full use of my reason, ...

Sold-Out: Following Christ, No Matter the Cost available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Many can name the cast of their favorite TV show or the full roster of their favorite team. But few Christians know the names of all twelve of Jesus's disciples. These are the twelve: Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother; Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the tax collector; James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus; Simon the Zealot, and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him (Matthew 10:2-4).These were the twelve men Jesus chose to become his closest companions and ministers during his three-year ministry. And these are the twelve men whose lives we will be studying in this six-week Love God Greatly study. As it became clear to the disciples who Jesus really is, and as the Holy Spirit came upon them, their faith grew and their passion for their Savior was ignited. They became men who were not only willing to give up family and home, but men who were willing to give up their very lives for the glory of Jesus.This did not happen because they were more special than any of us. This is the result of the power of God in them. Men who were fearful became bold. Men who were ignorant because wise. Men who were confused as to where they were to go or what they were to do became clear about their calling. A real encounter with Jesus changes people.As you study these twelve men, look not only at the various experiences these men had and how this close encounter with Jesus changed them, but how you can be changed as well.So grab your favorite beverage, crack open your Bible, and let's encounter this same Jesus together, reading and writing what God speaks into our hearts along the way.
