A casual conversation at CrossPointe Coast about the scripture and sermon from the previous Sunday with Jeremiah Fyffe & Joel Fair. Take Care How You Hear Luke 8:4–8 Special Guest: Joel Fair.

Preacher: Jeremiah Fyffe Luke 8:4–8 SOWER: The Preacher is Always Sowing the Word SEED: The Word is the Same SOIL: Take Care How You Hear 2 Timothy 4:3 (ESV) For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, 1 Peter 1:23 (ESV) since you have been born again, not of perishable seed but of imperishable, through the living and abiding word of God; Westminster Confession, Q160 Q: What is required of those that hear the word preached? A: It is required of those that hear the word preached, that they attend upon it with diligence, preparation, and prayer; examine what they hear by the scriptures; receive the truth with faith, love, meekness, and readiness of mind, as the word of God; meditate, and confer of it; hide it in their hearts, and bring forth the fruit of it in their lives. 1 Thessalonians 2:13 (ESV) And we also thank God constantly for this, that when you received the word of God, which you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men but as what it really is, the word of God, which is at work in you believers. Proverbs 8:33–34 (ESV) Hear instruction and be wise, and do not neglect it. Blessed is the one who listens to me, watching daily at my gates, waiting beside my doors. Charles Spurgeon We are told men ought not to preach without preparation. Granted. But we add, men ought not to hear without preparation. Which do you think, needs the most preparation, the sower or the ground? I would have the sower come with clean hands, but I would have the ground well-plowed and harrowed, well turned over, and the clods broken before the seed comes in. It seems to me that there is more preparation needed by the ground than by the sower, more by the hearer than the preacher. Psalm 119:18 (ESV) Open my eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of your law. James 1:22–25 (ESV) … he is like a man who looks intently at his natural face in a mirror. For he looks at himself and goes away and at once forgets what he was like. But the one who looks into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and perseveres, being no hearer who forgets but a doer who acts, he will be blessed in his doing. Hebrews 4:2 (ESV) For good news came to us just as to them, but the message they heard did not benefit them, because they were not united by faith with those who listened. Psalm 119:11 (ESV) I have stored up your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you. James 1:22 (ESV) But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.

A casual conversation at CrossPointe Coast about the scripture and sermon from the previous Sunday with Jeremiah Fyffe & Sam Powers. Proclamation in Acts Acts Special Guest: Sam Powers.

Preacher: Jeremiah Fyffe Acts Acts | Proclamation in Acts from CrossPointe Coast on Vimeo. GOD-CENTERED AUDIENCE-CONSCIOUS CHRIST-FOCUSED RESPONSE-EXPECTANT BOLD 2 Timothy 4:2 (ESV) preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching. Luke 12:11–12 (ESV) And when they bring you before the synagogues and the rulers and the authorities, do not be anxious about how you should defend yourself or what you should say, for the Holy Spirit will teach you in that very hour what you ought to say. Romans 1:16 (ESV) For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes Alan J. Thompson It should be noted in this regard that although the preaching was response-oriented, the messages were not response-driven. That is, the messages were not compromised just to get a favourable response or just to make people happy. Acts 17:32–34 (ESV) Now when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked. But others said, “We will hear you again about this.” So Paul went out from their midst. But some men joined him and believed, among whom also were Dionysius the Areopagite and a woman named Damaris and others with them. Acts 9:27 (ESV) at Damascus he had preached boldly in the name of Jesus Acts 28:30–31 (ESV) He lived there two whole years at his own expense, and welcomed all who came to him, proclaiming the kingdom of God and teaching about the Lord Jesus Christ with all boldness and without hindrance.

A casual conversation at CrossPointe Coast about the scripture and sermon from the previous Sunday with Jeremiah Fyffe & Sam Powers. What is Preaching? 2 Timothy 4:1-2 Special Guest: Sam Powers.

Preacher: Jeremiah Fyffe 2 Timothy 4:2 2 Timothy 4:2 | What is Preaching? from CrossPointe Coast on Vimeo. WHAT IS PREACHING? PREACH THE WORD REPROVE REBUKE EXHORT WITH COMPLETE PATIENCE AND TEACHING Mark 9:7 (ESV) And a cloud overshadowed them, and a voice came out of the cloud, “This is my beloved Son; listen to him.” Paraphrase of Julian Freeman Preachers should be like good cooks; always snacking on the food we prepare for others. Colossians 2:8 (ESV) See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ. 2 Corinthians 10:4–5 (ESV) For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds. We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ, John Calvin If we were as teachable as we should be, Christ's ministers could guide us merely by pointing out the right way. But as things are, sane advice and mere moderate exhortations are not enough to shake us out of our lethargy. Thus there is need for stronger reproofs and exhortations. Richard Baxter I preached … as a dying man to dying men. 1 Timothy 5:1 (ESV) Do not rebuke an older man but encourage him as you would a father, younger men as brothers 1 Peter 5:1–2 (ESV) So I exhort the elders among you …: shepherd the flock of God that is among you 1 Thessalonians 2:12 (ESV) we exhorted each one of you and encouraged you and charged you to walk in a manner worthy of God, who calls you into his own kingdom and glory. 2 Timothy 2:1 (ESV) You then, my child, be strengthened by the grace that is in Christ Jesus, Steve Timmis I think success [in ministry] is … seeing the Word of God taken by the Spirit of God in the lives of the people of God and just changing them, making them more like Christ, and [non-believers] being attracted by the kind of corporate life [of the church] and seeing the Gospel as the only explanation for what is going on and them responding in repentance and faith. Romans 5:10 (ESV) For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life.

A casual conversation at CrossPointe Coast about the scripture and sermon from the previous Sunday with Jeremiah Fyffe & Sam Powers. The Reign of Death Romans 5:12-17

Preacher: Jeremiah Fyffe Romans 5:12-17 Romans 5:12-17 | The Reign of Death from CrossPointe Coast on Vimeo. DEATH REIGNED THE HEADSHIP OF ADAM SIN AND DEATH ENTERED BY ONE TRESPASS SIN AND DEATH ARE UNIVERSAL SIN AND DEATH ARE TOTAL 1 Corinthians 15:22 (ESV) For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive. Genesis 2:16–17 (ESV) And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, “You may surely eat of every tree of the garden, but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.” Genesis 3:19 (ESV) By the sweat of your face you shall eat bread, till you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken; for you are dust, and to dust you shall return.” Romans 2:1 (ESV) Therefore you have no excuse, O man, every one of you who judges. For in passing judgment on another you condemn yourself, because you, the judge, practice the very same things. Romans 2:12 (ESV) For all who have sinned without the law will also perish without the law, and all who have sinned under the law will be judged by the law. Augustine Nothing is better known than original sin for preaching; for understanding, nothing is more mysterious. Pascal It is astonishing, however, that the mystery furthest from our understanding is the transmission of sin, the one thing without which we can have no understanding of ourselves! Because there can be no doubt that nothing shocks our reason more than to say that the sin of the first man made guilty those who, so far from that source, seem incapable of having taken part in it.… Nevertheless without this most incomprehensible of all mysteries we are incomprehensible to ourselves. Within this gnarled chasm lie the twists and turns of our condition. So, humanity is more inconceivable without this mystery than this mystery is conceivable to humanity. 1689 London Baptist Confession 6:2 — By this sin our first parents fell from their original righteousness and communion with God. We fell in them, and through this, death came upon all. All became dead in sin and completely defiled in all the capabilities and parts of soul and body. 6:3 — By God's appointment, they were the root and the representatives of the whole human race. Because of this, the guilt of their sin was accounted, and their corrupt nature passed on, to all their offspring who descended from them by ordinary procreation. Their descendants are now conceived in sin and are by nature children of wrath, the servants of sin, and partakers of death9 and all other miseries—spiritual, temporal, and eternal—unless the Lord Jesus sets them free. 1689 London Baptist Confession 6:1 — God created humanity upright and perfect. He gave them a righteous law that would have led to life if they had kept it but threatened death if they broke it. Yet they did not remain for long in this position of honor. James 4:1–2 (ESV) What causes quarrels and what causes fights among you? Is it not this, that your passions are at war within you? You desire and do not have, so you murder. You covet and cannot obtain, so you fight and quarrel. You do not have, because you do not ask. Luke 1:35 (ESV) And the angel answered her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born will be called holy—the Son of God.”

Preacher: Jeremiah Fyffe Romans 5:12-17 Romans 5:12-17 | The Free Gift from CrossPointe Coast on Vimeo. SIN CAME THE FREE GIFT IS NOT LIKE THE TRESPASS THE FREE GIFT IS NOT LIKE THE RESULT OF ONE MAN'S SIN ARE YOU IN ADAM OR IN CHRIST?

THREE DIMENSIONAL SALVATION TWO A FORTIORI ARGUMENTS Justified by Blood MUCH MORE Saved from Wrath Reconciled by Death MUCH MORE Saved by Life PAUL'S IMPLICATION IS OUR APPLICATION Romans 4:25 (ESV) Jesus our Lord, who was delivered up for our trespasses and raised for our justification. Isaiah 53:11 (ESV) Out of the anguish of his soul he shall see and be satisfied; by his knowledge shall the righteous one, my servant, make many to be accounted righteous, and he shall bear their iniquities. Philippians 1:6 (ESV) And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ. Martin Luther So when the devil throws your sins in your face and declares that you deserve death and hell, tell him this: "I admit that I deserve death and hell, what of it? For I know One who suffered and made satisfaction on my behalf. His name is Jesus Christ, Son of God, and where He is there I shall be also!

A casual conversation at CrossPointe Coast about the scripture and sermon from the previous Sunday with Jeremiah Fyffe & Sam Powers. Rejoice in Sufferings Romans 5:3-5

Preacher: Jeremiah Fyffe Romans 4:18-20 Romans 5:3-5 | Rejoice in Sufferings from CrossPointe Coast on Vimeo. SUFFERING IS A COMMON REALITY ENDURANCE CHARACTER HOPE LOVE Romans 1:18 (ESV) For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth. Romans 2:2 (ESV) We know that the judgment of God rightly falls on those who practice such things. Romans 8:1 (ESV) There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. James 1:2–4 (ESV) Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing. Romans 8:25 (ESV) But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience. Galatians 6:9 (ESV) And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up. 1 Peter 1:6–7 (ESV) In this you rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials, so that the tested genuineness of your faith—more precious than gold that perishes though it is tested by fire—may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ. 2 Corinthians 12:9–10 (ESV) But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong. 2 Corinthians 3:18 (ESV) … are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit.

Preacher: Jeremiah Fyffe Romans 4:18-20 Romans 5:1-2 | Rejoice in Hope from CrossPointe Coast on Vimeo. 1. WE HAVE PEACE WITH GOD 2. WE HAVE ACCESS INTO A NEW STANDING 3. WE REJOICE Romans 5:21 (ESV) so that, as sin reigned in death, grace also might reign through righteousness leading to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 1:16 (ESV) For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. Titus 2:11–13 (ESV) For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people, training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age, waiting for our blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ,

A casual conversation at CrossPointe Coast about the scripture and sermon from the previous Sunday with Jeremiah Fyffe & Sam Powers. Faith Glorifies God Romans 4:18-20 Special Guest: Sam Powers.

Preacher: Jeremiah Fyffe Romans 4:18-20 Romans 4:18-20 | Faith Glorifies God from CrossPointe Coast on Vimeo. 1. FAITH HOPES IS GOD ALONE 2. FAITH GLORIFIES GOD ALONE 3. THE LIFE OF FAITH IN FUTURE GLORY GIVES GOD GLORY TODAY 2 Corinthians 4:16–18 (ESV) So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal. Isaiah 40:31 (ESV) but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint. Psalm 73:25–26 (ESV) Whom have I in heaven but you? And there is nothing on earth that I desire besides you. My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.

Preacher: Jeremiah Fyffe John 13:34–35 John 13:34–35 | Preach Christ by Loving One Another from CrossPointe Coast on Vimeo. RHYTHMS OF MISSION JOHN 13:34–35 | LOVE ONE ANOTHER DON'T INSTITUTIONALIZE WHAT CAN BE EMBODIED THE PARTNERSHIP COVENANT Ephesians 4:15–16 (ESV) Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ, from whom the whole body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, when each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love.

A casual conversation at CrossPointe Coast about the scripture and sermon from the previous Sunday with Jeremiah Fyffe & Sam Powers. Faith, Grace, Guaranteed Romans 4:16-17

Preacher: Jeremiah Fyffe Romans 4:16-17 Romans 4:16-17 | Faith, Grace, Guaranteed from CrossPointe Coast on Vimeo. FAITH SAYS: I BELIEVE GOD WILL DO IT FAITH SAYS: I BELIEVE I CANNOT DO IT FAITH SAYS: I BELIEVE GOD WILL SURELY DO IT BECAUSE GOD ALONE IS ABLE Genesis 15:5–6 (ESV) And [the Lord] brought him outside and said, “Look toward heaven, and number the stars, if you are able to number them.” Then he said to him, “So shall your offspring be.” And [Abraham] believed the Lord, and he counted it to him as righteousness. Romans 4:4–5 (ESV) Now to the one who works, his wages are not counted as a gift but as his due. And to the one who does not work but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted as righteousness, Hebrews 1:1–3 (ESV) Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son …. After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, Romans 11:6 (ESV) But if it is by grace, it is no longer on the basis of works; otherwise grace would no longer be grace. Hebrews 11:1 (ESV) Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. 2 Corinthians 5:6–9 (ESV) So we are always of good courage. We know that while we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord, for we walk by faith, not by sight. Ephesians 3:20–21 (ESV) Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.

Heir of the world Co Heirs with Christ (Rom. 8:16-17 ; Gal. 3:29 ; Gal. 4:7 ; Eph. 3:6 ; Titus 3:7 ; 2 Tim. 2:12 ; Matt. 13:43) John MacArthur In the end, you will be a joint heir with Christ, and you will inherit everything that is Christ's. You, Christian, have a great eternal inheritance that is more glorious than you realize. * Not through the Law * But through the righteousness of faith * This is the Gospel You, Christian you have a great savior who is more glorious than you realize. Let us not be satisfied with a great inheritance, but let us be captivated with the one who purchased it on our behalf. Special Guest: Sam Powers.

A casual conversation at CrossPointe Coast about the scripture and sermon from the previous Sunday with Jeremiah Fyffe & Sam Powers. For Whom is This Blessing? Romans 4:9-12 Special Guest: Sam Powers.

Preacher: Jeremiah Fyffe Romans 4:9-12 Romans 4:9-12 | For Whom is This Blessing? from CrossPointe Coast on Vimeo. THE QUESTION — Who is Blessed? FAITH ALONE — Romans 4:9-10 THE SIGN AND SEAL — Romans 4:11 THE WALK OF FAITH — Romans 4:12 Jeremiah 17:9–10 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately sick; who can understand it? “I the Lord search the heart and test the mind, to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his deeds.” Genesis 15:5 And he brought him outside and said, “Look toward heaven, and number the stars, if you are able to number them.” Then he said to him, “So shall your offspring be.” Thomas Hooker That whosoever is the son of Abraham, hath faith, and whosoever hath faith is a walker, is a marker; by the footsteps of faith you may see where faith hath been. Romans 3:28 For we hold that one is justified by faith apart from works of the law. Romans 4:3 For what does the Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness.” Romans 4:5 And to the one who does not work but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted as righteousness, Romans 4:9 Is this blessing then only for the circumcised, or also for the uncircumcised? For we say that faith was counted to Abraham as righteousness. 1689 London Baptist Confession Baptism is an ordinance of the New Testament, ordained by Jesus Christ. To those baptized it is a sign of their fellowship with Him in His death and resurrection, of their being grafted into Him, of remission of sins, and of submitting themselves to God through Jesus Christ to live and walk in newness of life.

Historical Setting Jeremiah's Call to Ministry Heart, Horns, & Heritage The Shrub & The Tree | Who Do You Trust? The Real Problem The Solution Ezekiel 36:26–27 And I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you. And I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. And I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes and be careful to obey my rules. Jeremiah 31:33 ...I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Romans 10:9-10 ... if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved. John 7:37–38 If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, ‘Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.' John 4:13-14 Jesus said to her, “Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again. The water that I will give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.” Special Guest: Tony Webster.

A casual conversation at CrossPointe Coast about the scripture and sermon from the previous Sunday with Jeremiah Fyffe & Sam Powers. Blessed Faith Romans 4:6-8 Special Guest: Sam Powers.

Preacher: Jeremiah Fyffe Romans 4:6-8 Romans 4:6-8 | Blessed Faith from CrossPointe Coast on Vimeo. Romans 3:21-4:25 — FAITH ALONE JUST AS DAVID THE BURDEN OF SIN & THE BLESSING OF GRACE THE PRACTICAL JOY OF JUSTIFICATION Sanctification springs from the soil of justification, and from no other ground. Faith is complete dependence upon the righteousness of God revealed in the perfect work of Jesus on our behalf. Romans 1:16–17 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith, as it is written, “The righteous shall live by faith.” Dwight L. Moody The greatest enemy that ever crossed my path was D.L. Moody. Our enemies are within. Romans 8:2–4 For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death. For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do. By sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh, in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. Hebrews 7:25 … to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him, since he always lives to make intercession for them. 2 Corinthians 5:21 For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. Philippians 3:8–9 Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith— Romans 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.

Preacher: Jeremiah Fyffe Romans 4:1-5 Romans 4:1-5 | What was Gained by Abraham? from CrossPointe Coast on Vimeo. THE GOSPEL IN ROMANS FOUR PART DIVISION OF ROMANS Romans 1-4 — coming under grace Romans 5-8 — living under grace Romans 9-11 — overflow of grace Romans 12-16 — a church shaped by grace THE GOSPEL IN ROMANS WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE WORLD? WHAT ABOUT ABRAHAM? WORKS OR FAITH? John Calvin If Abraham was justified by works he has something to boast about; but he does not have anything to boast about before God, and therefore he was not justified by works. John Piper When faith is born, we are still ungodly. Faith will begin to overcome our ungodliness. But in the beginning of the Christian life—where justification happens—we are all ungodly.

A casual conversation at CrossPointe Coast about the scripture and sermon from the previous Sunday with Jeremiah Fyffe & Sam Powers. Will You Let Me Be Your Pastor? 1 Thessalonians 5:12-14 Special Guest: Sam Powers.

Preacher: Jeremiah Fyffe 1 Thessalonians 5:12-14 1 Thessalonians 5:12-14 | Will You Let Me Be Your Pastor? from CrossPointe Coast on Vimeo. THOSE WHO LABOR AMONG YOU THOSE WHO ARE OVER YOU IN THE LORD THOSE WHO ADMONISH YOU ESTEEM THEM VERY HIGHLY IN LOVE BECAUSE OF THEIR WORK Mark 10:42–45 (ESV) And Jesus called them to him and said to them, “You know that those who are considered rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them. But it shall not be so among you. But whoever would be great among you must be your servant, and whoever would be first among you must be slave of all. For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” 2 Timothy 3:16 (ESV) All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, Acts 20:31 (ESV) Therefore be alert, remembering that for three years I did not cease night or day to admonish every one with tears. 2 Thessalonians 3:11–12 (ESV) For we hear that some among you walk in idleness, not busy at work, but busybodies. Now such persons we command and encourage in the Lord Jesus Christ to do their work quietly and to earn their own living.

Preacher: Jeremiah Fyffe Luke 9:23-27 Luke 9:23-27 | Deny Yourself, Follow Me from CrossPointe Coast on Vimeo. JESUS IS INTRUSIVE SELF-DENIAL SEE THE KINGDOM OF GOD C. S. Lewis It would seem that Our Lord finds our desires not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased. Psalm 37:4 (ESV) Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Steve Timmis A man struggling under the weight of a large piece of wood as he stumbled toward the site of his own execution. Vance Havner What our Lord said about cross-bearing and obedience is not in fine type. It is in bold print on the face of the contract. R. C. Sproul It doesn't specify at what point they saw it; but there were plenty of incidents where the kingdom of God broke through in visible force: the transfiguration, the day of the resurrection, the ascension, and so on. These happenings made it clear to his own disciples that what they were counting on was indeed a reality, and they could afford not to be ashamed to be called followers of Christ.
