In the Name of the Messiah Acts 3 by William Klock So what happens after Pentecost?  In the church's calendar we spend the first half of the year walking through the life of Jesus—maybe we think of that as the “gospel story”—and that closes with Pentecost.  And in the second half of the year we focus on the life of the church as it lives out Pentecost.  But the way the lectionary does that tends to present the life of the church in the abstract.  That's not necessarily bad.  But the book of Acts gives us an opportunity to see it in real life, in history.  And Acts is important because it makes sure we understand that the life of the church isn't some application of abstract theological principles.  Acts shows us the life of the church as very much the continuation of the story of Jesus, of that gospel narrative.  It doesn't end with the Ascension.  It doesn't end with Pentecost.  Pentecost simply begins a new chapter.  As Luke said at the beginning, in the gospel he wrote he laid out what Jesus began to do and to teach.  In Acts we see Jesus continuing to do and to teach, but now it's through his church, through his people. So last week we saw this amazing move of the Spirit.  That's how I think we mostly think of it: a move of the Spirit.  But if we've been following the story through Easter and the ascension it ought to be clear that Pentecost is, first and foremost, a move of Jesus the Messiah.  Having taken his heavenly throne to reign as king until he has put all his enemies under his feet, Jesus has sent the Spirit to enact, to make real the truth of his reign through the church.  The spirit enables the apostles, the rest of the disciples, enables us to put off the old, lie-based, rebellious way of being human and to put on the new humanity brought by Jesus' resurrection from the dead.  The Spirit makes us the working model of God's new creation in the midst of the old.  The Spirit, living within us, make us God's new temple: full of his presence, his wisdom, his gospel.  And as we fulfil his original command to are fruitful and multiply, we grow and spread that temple until God's glory fills the earth. So Pentecost doesn't stand alone.  It's not just a stage in our personal spiritual growth.  It's not even for our own benefit.  It's to carry the reign of Jesus as Lord to the world.  So, again, what happens after Pentecost?  Look at Acts, Chapter 3. [Page 1082 in the pew Bibles.]  Luke tells us, “Peter and John were going up to the temple at three o'clock in the afternoon, the time for prayer.” I think it's worth a pause there.  Peter and John and the rest of the church had become the new temple.  The very thing that was missing from old, bricks-and-mortar temple, the presence of God, had come to dwell in them.  But they still went to the old bricks-and-mortar temple.  It highlights the fact that they didn't think of Jesus, the Spirit, the new covenant, being the new Israel as being some kind of new religion.  This new thing was simply how to be a faithful Jew in light of God's promises to Israel being fulfilled in Jesus.  And so these first Christians continued to observe torah, they worshipped with their fellow Jews in the synagogues, and they went with their fellow Jews to pray in the temple.  They didn't leave Judaism for something called Christianity.  But here's the thing: You and I don't do any of those things.  We don't live according to torah, we're not circumcised, we don't observe the Jewish feasts, we don't go the temple—we can't, because God judged and destroyed it long ago—but we are part of that same family of Jesus people, that same new Israel, that same church.  Because the new Israel isn't about torah, or circumcision, or diet, or Sabbath, or biological descent from Abraham.  It's about faith in, allegiance to Jesus, Israel's Messiah, and his kingdom, and the law of love written in our hearts by his Spirit.  What marks us out is our baptism into Jesus and the law of the Spirit that overflows from within us. Now, Luke goes on: “There was a man being carried in who had been lame from his mother's womb.  People used to bring him every day to the temple gate called “Beautiful”, so that he could ask for alms from those entering the temple.  When he saw Peter and John going into the temple, he asked them to give him some money. So every day, probably for many years, this man's friends would carry him to the gate of the main temple court and leave him there to beg.  He was a fixture of the temple.  Few people probably “knew” him, but everyone was familiar with him.  Peter and John weren't from Jerusalem, but they'd probably seen the man when they visited the temple.  Maybe they'd given him money before.  But this time they have no money.  They'd left their jobs as fisherman in Galilee.  The church in Jerusalem has been surviving by living as family, pooling their resources.  Luke goes on: “Peter, with John, looked hard at him.  ‘Look at us,' he said.  The man stared at them, expecting to get something from them.  ‘I haven't got any silver or gold,' Peter said, ‘but I'll give you what I have got.  In the name of the Messiah, Jesus of Nazareth, get up and walk!'  He grabbed the man by his right hand and lifted him up.  At once his feet and ankles became strong, and he leaped to his feet and began to walk.  He went in with them into the temple, walking and jumping up and down and praising God.  All the people saw him walking and praising God, and they recognised him as the man who had been sitting begging for alms by the Beautiful Gate of the temple.  They were filled with amazement and astonishment at what had happened to him.” He got more than he bargained for and what Peter and John give this man is right in keeping with what we read at the end of Chapter 2.  Money had ceased to have any importance for the disciples.  Something far better had come along.  Money is one of those things you need to get along in the old age where things are scarce and people are greedy.  The kingdom of God is about his new creation generosity and abundance.  This is why they lived like a family and shared what God gave with each other.  It was a practical way to live out new creation in way that confronted the scarcity and greed of the old age.  They knew there was something more important, a new power, a new kind of life—something far more important than silver and gold and so they gave it to this man.  The man didn't even ask to be healed.  He'd probably given up on that idea years and years ago.  But Peter gave this man new creation in the name of Jesus. Maybe this is why Peter insisted that the man look at them.  Picture Peter looking hard into the lame man's eyes and the lame man staring back.  Maybe Peter had seen Jesus do that: looking intently into the eyes of hurting people, seeing desperation, seeing hopelessness in some and faith in others.  Making a connection.  Sharing the compassion of God for the victims of the corrupt principalities and powers of the present age.  It seems like Peter saw something there.  Maybe hope.  Maybe faith.  Maybe the man knew who Peter was.  Maybe he'd heard about what happened at Pentecost.  Peter saw something.  And he didn't just tell the man to get up and walk.  That's what Jesus would have done and Peter wasn't Jesus.  Peter had no power of his own to do anything.  Instead, Peter made it clear where the power lies: “In the name of the Messiah, Jesus of Nazareth, get up and walk.” The name is as good as the person.  Peter and John were acting as Jesus' representatives and in that capacity—so long as they were faithful to Jesus' will, his desire, his agenda, his rule and kingdom—they could act with power and authority and faith on his behalf—in his name.  And so can we.  Sometimes we forget that.  On the one hand, we pray and we add something like “through Jesus our Lord” or “in the name of Jesus” at the end of our prayers without even thinking about what it means or, on the other hand, we use Jesus' name as if it were a talisman to give our prayers legitimacy or as if just mentioning the name of Jesus will bring our will into reality.  I once prayed and when I was done, a guy came up to me afterward and said, “You didn't say ‘in Jesus' name' so your prayer won't come true.”  No.  Brothers and Sisters, saying a prayer isn't like making a wish and adding Jesus' name doesn't validate our prayers.  Whether we mention him or not, every true Christian prayer is offered to the Father through the mediation of Jesus the son.  It is through him that we have access to God.  And God answers our prayer not because we add a name, but because our whole prayer is a cry for his new creation to become reality, for it to be on earth as it is heaven.  Too often our prayers are veiled appeals to our old idols, appeals to the principalities and powers, appeals still subject to the fears and anxieties of the present evil age, outgrowths of the flesh rather than the Spirit.  And to those prayers, God answers “No”.  Brothers and Sisters, to pray in Jesus' name is to submit ourselves to the goodness and faithfulness of God; it is to pray with faithfulness and single-hearted loyalty to him as Lord, and to ask not for our will to be done, but his; to ask not for the fulfilment of our vision of the good, but his; to ask not for our kingdom to be made real, but his kingdom.  It is to understand that heaven is the storehouse of the goodness of God's kingdom, like the turkey in the refrigerator and the presents stored up under Mom and Dad's bed, all to be brought out when Christmas comes.  God's kingdom will come in all its fulness when the church, when we have made God's gospel known throughout the earth and when the knowledge of his glory covers creation as the sea.  Prayer is to ask God to give us glimpse of that final day when the presents are under the tree, ready to be opened, and the turkey is on the table and the great feast is ready.  Prayer is, to quote Karl Barth, “the beginning of an uprising against the disorder the world.”  It is to ask in hope for God's justice, God's righteousness, God's goodness, God's faithfulness, God's future to be known—even if only in a small way—right here and right now. And that's what Peter did.  And suddenly the man was jumping and dancing his way into the temple full of heaven on earth.  And everyone noticed.  Verse 11: “All the people ran together in astonishment towards Peter and John and the man was clinging to them.  They were in the part of the temple known as ‘Solomon's Porch'.  Peter saw them all and began to speak. ‘Men of Israel,' he said, ‘why are you amazed at this?  Why are you staring at us as though it was our own power or piety that made this man walk?  “The God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, the God of Jacob—the God of our fathers”—he has glorified his servant Jesus, the one you handed over and denied in the presence of Pilate, although he had decided to let him go.'” Let's pause there.  When Peter says “the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, the God of Jacob—the God of our fathers” he's taking a line from Exodus 3.  This is how the God of Israel introduced himself to Moses at the burning bush before sending him back to Egypt to demand that Pharoah let the Israelites go.  Jesus had just done this in his dispute with the Sadducees and now Peter does the same and his point is to highlight that just as with Moses and the Exodus from Egypt, the God of Israel is at work here and not just as work, but at work to bring his promises to Israel to pass.  Peter's announcing that it's happening again.  In Jesus and the Spirit; in Good Friday and Easter and Ascension and Pentecost, the God of Israel was acting once again to deliver his people from bondage, to lead them in a new exodus, to renew his covenant. We'll see this throughout Acts.  Confronted by Jesus and his mighty deeds, those early believers would go back to Exodus.  That was when God fulfilled his promises to deliver his people.  That was when they sacrificed the Passover lambs.  That was when he led them through the sea and gave them his law.  That was when he led them into the promised land and gave them an inheritance.  And when those first Christians saw Jesus and the Spirit at work it was like Moses at the burning bush seeing something amazing that he couldn't explain, and with that scene in mind, we ought to be expecting that God is still keeping his promises and is doing something extraordinary again. Peter goes on: “You denied the holy one, the just one, and requested instead to have a murderer given to you; and so you killed the Prince of Life.  But God raised him from the dead, and we are witnesses to the fact.  And it is his name, working through faith in his name, that has given strength to this man, whom you see and know.  It is faith which comes through him that has given him this new complete wholeness in front of all of you.” So Peter starts explaining Jesus by pulling images from the Jewish scriptures.  We might miss it because we don't know the Bible as well as we should; the people there that day definitely would not have.  First, Peter calls Jesus the servant of God.  Second, he stresses the innocence of Jesus.  He wasn't deserving of death, but the people of Jerusalem handed him over to Pilate.  Even Pilate, Peter says, knew Jesus was innocent.  But they demanded Pilate release Barabbas and that Jesus be crucified.  These images together draw on Isaiah's prophecy, especially Isaiah 53, the passage about the suffering servant, an innocent, who would one day, go to the slaughter like a lamb for the sins of the people.  When Peter calls him the holy one, this too brings up images of the suffering servant and of the spotless lamb.  If the people want to understand what's happened to the lame man, how he's been healed, Peter is saying that they need to think about the Exodus and they need to be thinking about Isaiah's suffering servant and understand that Jesus is standing at the centre of both of these images from Israel's story and God's promises. And this is why he calls Jesus the “Prince of Life”.  The archegos, not just prince, but also the author, the origin, the source of life.  Jesus is the sovereign one, the Lord, who brings life.  It fits with John's image of the word, who was in the beginning and through whom, as God spoke him out, was the source of everything.  Through him all things were created and now, through the word, God speaks life into the world again.  He came into the midst of corruption and sickness and death and has brought life.  And wherever he goes be brings life and in that life he announces his lordship, his sovereignty, his kingdom.  Wherever he brings life he announces his victory over sin and death, over the present evil age.  Wherever he brings life, he announces the hope of God's promises fulfilled and a world set to rights: no more death, no more sorrow, no more tears.  Ironically, his own people rejected and killed him, but God raised him from the dead to prove that Jesus is the life of the world and because of that we know, we have confidence that his life will continue to go out into the world. Peter does here what he did at Pentecost.  God did something mighty and amazing, and Peter—steeped in scripture and full of the Spirit—explains what's going on in light of the story of Israel and her God and, most importantly, showing how what's now happening is the fulfilment of what God had promised to his people.  That's the biggest thing here.  This is no faith healer, doing theatrics and putting the spotlight on himself.  Peter has absolutely no interest in that.  He makes it clear: this is all about Jesus.  The prophets had said that the world would be set to rights when the knowledge of the glory of God has covered it as the sea.  Not the knowledge of Peter.  Not the knowledge of celebrity apostles. The knowledge of the glory of God.  And so Peter's Spirit-filled purpose is to proclaim the glory of God—to make sure everyone knows not just that God is mighty and powerful, but that God is above all faithful to his promises and worthy of our trust, worthy of our allegiance, worthy of our faith.  And that's the next thing.  After announcing how this is healing is evidence of God's faithfulness, Peter issues a call to faith.  Look at verse 17: “Now, Brothers,” Peter continued, “I know that you acted in ignorance, just as your rulers did.  But this is how God has fulfilled what he promised through the mouth of all the prophets, that his Messiah would suffer.  So now repent, and turn back, so that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshment may come from the presence of the Lord, and so that he will send you Jesus, the one he chose and appointed to be his Messiah.  He must be received in heaven, you see, until the time which God spoke about through the mouth of the holy prophets from ancient days, the time when God will restore all things.  Moses said, ‘The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me, one from among your own brothers; whatever he says to you, you must pay attention to him.  And everyone who does not listen to that prophet will be cut off from the people.'  All the prophets who have spoken, from Samuel and his successors, spoke about these days too.  You are the children of the prophets, the children of the covenant which God established with your ancestors when he said to Abraham, ‘In your seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed.'  When God raised up his servant he sent him to you first, to bless you by turning each of you away from your wicked deeds.” Over and over Peter stresses that what the people are seeing is the fulfilment of God's promises going all the way back to Abraham: His promise to renew fallen Israel, his promise to reach out to the nations with this glory through this renewed people.  Peter points forward to this hope of creation set to rights that we see from this point on throughout Acts and the New Testament, said in various ways.  God will “sum up all things in the Messiah,” as we heard Paul say in Ephesians 1:10.  Through the Messiah he will “reconcile all things to himself, making peace by his blood, shed on the cross” (Colossians 1:20).  He will make “new heavens and new earth, in which justice will dwell” (Revelation 21:1).  He will overcome every power which destroys and corrupts his good creation, so that eventually God will be “all in all” (1 Corinthians 15:28).  The whole creation will be “set free from its slavery to decay, to share the liberty of the glory of God's children” (Romans 8:21).  Brothers and Sisters, it began at the cross and the empty tomb, the ascension was a sign it was all true, and Pentecost show us that we're not only a part of how these promises will be fulfilled, but we can watch as heaven invades earth with the glory of God.  We don't have to wait for some distant day to see God revealed.  We see his glory at work each day: in ourselves as his word and Spirt renew us and in the world as we live and proclaim the good news about Jesus and see faith born in others and their hearts and minds renewed by Jesus and the Spirit.  We see God's glory revealed as the weight of sin and guilt is lifted.  Notice that's part of Peter's message.  It's not just a call to repent.  It's also assurance of forgiveness.  God, through the blood of Jesus, was ready to forgive even the rejection, the hardness of heart, the rebellion of Israel when they crucified Jesus.  That's the whole point of all of this: God's great final restoration of all things is for us, for sinners, for rebels, for God-haters, right here and right now.  The gospel brings God's future into the present, because God longs to show his mercy and his grace to sinners.  As God longs for his good world that we've corrupted with our sin to be set to rights, even more he longs to set us to rights that we might once again be the stewards, the priests of his temple that he created us to be. God will, as Peter says echoing Isaiah 43:25, God will blot out the sins of those who repent.  And if his grace was big enough and Jesus' blood strong enough to blot out the sins of those who crucified him, and his Spirit powerful enough to renew their hearts and to fill them with love, Brothers and Sisters, the blood of Jesus and the renewing power of his Spirit is enough to bring God's new creation to us.  Repent and believe in the name of Jesus.  Be forgiven.  Be made whole.  Be made new.  Be refreshed.  Be God's future here and now.  Be made a witness to your family, to your friends, to everyone around you of the saving power of Jesus the Messiah. Let's pray: O God, the strength of all who put their trust in you: Mercifully accept our prayers; and because in our weakness we can do nothing good without you, give us the help of your grace, that in keeping your commandments we may please you both in will and deed; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.  Amen.

This Sunday we jumped back into our series in Romans with chapter 9. This is the chapter that has ended more friendships than any other passage in Scripture. Pastors skip it. Scholars fight over it. And this Sunday, we went straight in, why? Because the Holy Spirit included it for a reason.We're going to wrestle with a question that's bigger than any theology debate, one that confronts us every single day: Does God actually get to be God? Not God as a concept we manage, not God as a consultant we call when things get rough, but God as God. Sovereign. Mysterious. Trustworthy. This passage is going to stretch us, challenge us, and honestly — if we let it — it's going to set us free. Tune into this week's message called, “Does God Get to Be God?”Join us for service online or in person every Sunday at 8am, 9:30am, 11:15am, & 5pm (C&V Service).Connect to Captivate! - https://shorturl.at/nKxQuDownload the Captivate App to Stay Connected! - https://shorturl.at/5PfXPIf you want to share how God is moving in your life through this ministry, please let us know at info@captivatesd.com!Decided To Follow Jesus?

Jesus Claimed to Be God by Lighthouse Baptist Church | Williamsport, MD

SEP. 23, 2025God wants to work through you (3)"For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him." 2Ch 16:9 NKJVGod is not hesitant or indifferent when it comes to showing Himself strong. Rather, He is looking "throughout the whole earth" for people who are loyal to Him so He can reveal His power through their lives! Here are three things you need to know about God: (1) He is always at work in supernatural ways in our world, and He has a lot He wants to accomplish. (2) He is actively searching for loyal partners-people who steadily care about what He cares about. (3) He is consistently nudging people to respond, but most people miss it or say no. Question: What would it look like in your life if you began to say yes? A minister writes: "A life marked by the miraculous is not just possible, not even just desirable, but is at the very center of God's will for every one of us. When we settle for less, our lives lose delight, fulfillment, and purpose. Personal needs of people we meet get overlooked. Extreme needs in our communities and around the world go unmet. When a whole generation settles for less, the character and motives of God get called into question. His shining presence seems to fade in the world." But you can do something about it. You were born to be God's ambassador, making Him visible each day (See 2Co 5:20).God desires to show Himself strong in you, for you, and through you, because every person you encounter has a need that only God can meet.God wants to work through you Be God's ambassador.Share This DevotionalSend us a textSupport the showChanging Lives | Building Strong Family | Impacting Our Community For Jesus Christ!

Too Good to Be True… or So Good It Has to Be God? What if everything you thought you had to do for God was already done by Him? In Part 3 of our “Grace Under Fire” series, we tackle the tough questions that religion dodges and grace answers boldly. Can you lose your salvation? Does forgiveness mean repentance doesn't matter? Should every believer speak in tongues? What does it really mean to be led by the Spirit? Let's face it—some of this stuff ruffles feathers. It challenges long-held assumptions, makes legalism squirm, and rewrites the narrative on how we relate to God. But the truth is stunning: You're not chasing a feeling or trying to get closer. You're already in—fully, completely, forever. Ready to ditch the guilt and breathe easy in Christ? Press play and discover the shocking simplicity of the Gospel—and why there's no need to shop for more of Jesus. Discussion Questions: So I can't lose my salvation? What about people who walk away? If I'm totally forgiven, does repentance not matter? Are you saying God's discipline has nothing to do with punishment? Does being “led by the Spirit” mean we should wait for a feeling? Should every believer speak in tongues? Is it a sign of salvation or maturity? If we're under the New Covenant, why even read the Old Testament? Why would the New Testament give so many instructions if it's not about rules? Is this new covenant focus on God's grace just a “feel-good theology”?

As we wait for God's “Big L” Liberating Love to be fully realized, we are called to BE God's love of ourselves, for one another, and for all creation.

To BE the image of God---what does that mean and what difference does it make to you and me today? Nika Spaulding unpacks it for those of us who are unsure or perhaps our understanding is incorrect.

Welcome to this podcast/video episode. Our special guest today is Nika Spaulding. Welcome, Nika. Nika >> Thanks, Kay. I'm excited to be here with you. Kay >> Well, it's always great to have you. We always love it when you are our guest. Nika is the Resident Theologian at St Jude Oak Cliff in the Dallas area. She has a Master of Theology from DTS and our topic today is about the image of God. We're talking about what it means to be God's image. Explain that a little bit for us, because I think we usually we would say what it means to be in the image of God, but what does it mean to be God's image? Nika >> Yeah, that's really good. I like that you clarify that because I think that's an important part of this conversation. We use the phrase image of God, or imago dei if you've heard the Latin one, this idea of humanity at the end of creation, God makes the heavens and the earth. He makes all these days; he fills the days. It's incredible. And then creation crescendos at the top and kind of breaks from the pattern. You sort of have a creation, day and night, creation, day and night, day, night. And then all of a sudden, the camera zooms in and God gets to the top of creation, which is in Genesis 1:26-27. Let's make mankind in our image male and female and you have this image language that gets picked up there. And what's really interesting about that is people forever have been talking about the image of God. It's a big idea in theology, but sometimes people will talk about it as if it's something you can do, or it's something that you receive, or maybe like you can bear it or you cannot bear it. And really I think an important distinction is, no, no, you just are the image of God. You don't do something to become the image of God. We just exist as the image of God because that's what it means to be human. It's all humans are the image of God rather than we can act like the image of God. And one of the distinctions that I like to make is sometimes people think that we are the image of God because we're rational. We were talking about pets before we hit record, and I love my dog more than I probably should. But I have to accept at some point that humans are more important than my dog. I may not emotionally accept that, but I can intellectually accept that on some level. And people will say, well, yeah, because you can reason, you can marry, you can logic, sort of all these things. And it's like, well, that then means people who with intellectual disabilities then don't image...

Christians in the Church Must Become Christians in the Marketplace of Unbelievers MESSAGE SUMMARY: From the Gospel of Luke (10:1-20): Life Laborers Are Few This “Life Lesson from Luke” focuses upon the Apostle Luke in the context of “Luke the Evangelist” – telling the good news of Jesus the Christ. Introduction:  Jesus, in Luke 11:11-13, compares asking God versus an earthly father being asked by his son: “What father among you, if his son asks for a fish, will instead of a fish give him a serpent; or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion? If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!”. God desires to give to us before we even ask Him but ask, we must. Since we must ask for the Holy Spirit, it is good to begin our daily prayers with: “Lord, fill me with the Holy Spirit.”. From Luke 11:1-13, we have a Life Lesson on Prayer. Life Laborers Are Few:  As Jesus sends the Seventy-two out on a mission trip (Luke 10:1-20), He tells them, in Luke 10:2: “And he said to them, ‘The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.'". As in the First Century, today we can make the same observation as Jesus: “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few” – where are the laborers for His Kingdom today? People all around us are in need. This passage from Luke 10:1-20 reveals God's plan and model for evangelism – the ministry of the Gospel. Further, Jesus instructs us to: “pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.” – God's harvest. This model for the ministry of the Gospel is not just for Clergy, this model is for all followers of Jesus. To meet the needs of today's plentiful harvest, the Christians in the Church must become the Christian in the marketplace pf unbelievers. To be effective in this plentiful marketplace, we must be ourselves and a willing vessel for God's will and for God to fill us with the Holy Spirit. Additionally, we must be a willing laborer for the ministry of the Gospel – the harvest is plentiful. Be God's hand!   TODAY'S PRAYER: Keeping the Sabbath, Lord, will require a lot of changes in the way I am living life. Teach me, Lord, how to take the next step with this in a way that fits my unique personality and situation. Help me to trust you with all that will remain unfinished and to enjoy my humble place in your very large world. In Jesus' name, amen.    Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 129). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, I affirm that because of what God has done for me in His Son, Jesus, I AM RIGHTEOUS IN GOD'S EYES. God made Him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God. 2 Corinthians 5:21 SCRIPTURE REFERENCE (ESV): Luke 11:1-13; Luke 10:1-20; Matthew 28:18-20; Isaiah 6:8; Psalms 15:1-5.

(Part Two – The Reaction)Scripture Passage: John 10:26-42Key Points:Different Reactions to Jesus' Claim:People react differently to Jesus' claim of divinity.These reactions are the same today as they were during Jesus' time.The Problem of Unbelief:Jesus clearly identifies the problem as a lack of belief, not a lack of evidence.In verses 26-27, Jesus states, "You do not believe because you are not my sheep. My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me."Eternal Life and Security:Jesus promises eternal life and security to His followers: "I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand" (verses 28-29).The double negative in "they shall never perish" emphasizes absolute security in Greek.Unity with the Father:Jesus declares, "I and the Father are one" (verse 30), affirming their unity in essence and purpose.This claim prompts the Jewish opponents to accuse Jesus of blasphemy.The Accusation of Blasphemy:The Jewish leaders react with hostility, ready to stone Jesus for claiming to be God (verses 31-33).Jesus responds by citing Psalm 82:6, explaining that if human judges can be called "gods" (small g), His claim to be the Son of God is justified (verses 34-36).Evidence through Works:Jesus appeals to His works as evidence of His divine mission: "Even though you do not believe me, believe the works" (verse 38).Despite this, the Jewish leaders attempt to seize Him again, but He escapes (verse 39).Belief and Rejection:The passage illustrates various levels of rejection: intellectual disagreement, emotional agitation, verbal accusations, and physical violence.This escalating conflict ultimately leads to Jesus' crucifixion.Faith in Jesus' Identity:While some rejected Jesus, others believed in Him through His words and works.This highlights the essence of faith—trusting in Jesus' identity and mission.The Doctrine of Eternal Security:Jesus' words assure believers of their eternal security in God's hands."No one will snatch them out of my hand... No one can snatch them out of my Father's hand" (verses 28-29).Conclusion:The Essence of the Passage:JesuLight in the DarknessA supernatural & paranormal podcast with Christian perspectiveListen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the Show.Jeremy McCandless is creating podcasts and devotional resources | PatreonHelp us continue making great content for listeners everywhere.https://thebibleproject.buzzsprout.com

(Part One – The Claim)John 10:22-25IntroductionThe belief that Jesus claimed to be God is foundational for many Christians. However, not everyone agrees, including some groups claiming Christian heritage who deny Jesus Christ's divinity. Today, we'll examine what the Bible says and what Jesus himself said about this matter.Critics and Alternative BeliefsSome argue that Jesus never claimed to be God, suggesting that his divinity was a concept developed by early followers. Several religious groups challenge Jesus' divinity:Jehovah's Witnesses: They believe Jesus is a created being, specifically the archangel Michael.The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons): They view the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost as distinct beings, with Jesus being one of many sons of God.Christian Science: Founded by Mary Baker Eddy, this group teaches that Jesus was a human who demonstrated the divine ideal.Unitarian Church: They traditionally reject the Trinity, seeing Jesus as a moral teacher rather than a divine being.Other groups include:The Way International: A Catholic sect that views Jesus as a uniquely empowered human.Christadelphians: They deny Jesus' deity and the doctrine of the Trinity.The New Church (Swedenborgianism): Founded in reaction to Lutheranism, they follow the teachings of Emmanuel Swedenborg.Jesus' ResponseJesus responded, "I did tell you, but you do not believe. The works I do in my Father's name testify about me." This response indicates that Jesus had already made his claim clear through his words and works.Key passages in John that show how Jesus identified himself:John 4:25-26: Jesus tells the woman at the well, "I who speak to you am he," explicitly identifying himself as the Messiah.John 9:35-37: After healing a man born blind, Jesus says, "You have seen him; in fact, he is the one speaking with you," identifying himself as the Son of God.John 5:17-18: Jesus says, "My Father is always at his work to this very day, and I too am working," making himself equal with God.John 8:58: Jesus declares, "Before Abraham was born, I am!" using the divine name "I am" to assert his pre-existence and deity.John 20:27-28: After his resurrection, Jesus tells Thomas to touch his wounds, leading Thomas to proclaim, "My Lord and my God!" Jesus does not correct him, accepting the declaration of his deity.Jesus' Public PronouncementsJohn 7:37-38: "If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink."John 8:12: "I am the light of the world."John 10:11: "I am the good shepherd."ConclusionJesus' claim to be God is central to the Christian faith. This belief has shaped history and continues to be a foundational truth for millions.

In this two part episode we look at 10 verses from the New Testament which give direct evidence that Jesus is NOT God. Many Christians have heard of a few verses that supposedly declare that Jesus IS God, but few Christians have heard about verses that show that Jesus is NOT God. In this episode we examine five (OK, plus) verses: 10.  2 Cor. 1:3, Eph. 1:3, 1 Pet. 1:3, Rom. 15:6 The Lord Jesus Christ has a God “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort” Ephesians 1:17 I pray that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation as you come to know him, (Eph 1:17 NRS) Revelation 3:12 The one who conquers, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God. Never shall he go out of it, and I will write on him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which comes down from my God out of heaven, and my own new name.   9.    John 20:17 “I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God."   8.     Mark 12:29-33 whereJesus quotes Deuteronomy 6:4 "Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God the LORD is one. And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength…” (Yahweh our God, Yahweh is one).  “He is one, there is no other but he, and to love him…”   7.    John 8:40 “…but now you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God.”   6.    Romans 5:15 But the gift is not like the trespass. For if many died through one man's trespass, much more have the grace of God and the gift in the grace of that one man Jesus Christ abounded for many. Resources: Kapusta, P.

We are all made in the image of God to live for God's glory.  That's our God-given identity!  But we all also have an identity crisis that causes separation between us and God.  We try and find our identity in ourselves.  We have a taste FOR God that becomes a desire to BE God.  We need salvation!  Thank God for the Gospel and the salvation it brings.

As in the First Century, today we can make the same observation as Jesus: “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few” – where are the laborers for His Kingdom today? People all around us are in need. This passage from Luke 10:1-20 reveals God's plan and model for evangelism – the ministry of the Gospel. Further, Jesus instructs us to: “pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.” – God's harvest. This model for the ministry of the Gospel is not just for Clergy, this model is for all followers of Jesus. To meet the needs of today's plentiful harvest, the Christians in the Church must become the Christian in the marketplace pf unbelievers. To be effective in this plentiful marketplace, we must be ourselves and a willing vessel for God's will and for God to fill us with the Holy Spirit. Additionally, we must be a willing laborer for the ministry of the Gospel – the harvest is plentiful. Be God's hand!   TODAY'S PRAYER: Keeping the Sabbath, Lord, will require a lot of changes in the way I am living life. Teach me, Lord, how to take the next step with this in a way that fits my unique personality and situation. Help me to trust you with all that will remain unfinished and to enjoy my humble place in your very large world. In Jesus' name, amen. Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 129). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: I affirm that because of what God has done for me in His Son, Jesus, I AM FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT. If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!

This lecture is going to be an exciting one: Can You Become Enlightened From Watching YouTube Videos?    Despite the cheeky title, we're going to explore some of the subtlest linguistic mysticism ever: the Kashmir Shaiva development of the 5th CE sage Bhatrhari's claim of the śabdabrahman, the "sound Brahman".  Interestingly, it is a beautiful commentary on the opening of the Gospel of John, "in the beginning was the logos, the word."  What does it mean for the "word" to be "with" God and BE God? etc.    Then, using this linguistic mysticism as a foundation we'll expound on the "four levels of the Word", a central model in Non-Dual Shaivism which teaches us how to:  1. benefit truly from lectures, reading, studying etc.  2. "rewrite" limiting beliefs   3. empower mantas/do japa   And so much more!    Lectures happen live on zoom every Monday at 7pm PST and Friday at 6pm PST.  There's Q&A right after the lecture. It is free and open to the public. All are welcome!Use this link and I will see you there:https://www.zoom.us/j/7028380815For more videos, guided meditations and instruction and for access to our lecture library, visit me at:https://www.patreon.com/yogawithnishTo get in on the discussion and access various spiritual materials, join our Discord here: https://discord.gg/U8zKP8yMrMSupport the show

We may not be physically captive, but many of us are emotional, mentally, & spiritually captive and need freedom. Jesus taught that there is no freedom without TRUTH! But the truth can be terrifying. So what did Jesus teach about freedom, sin, pluralism, the devil, death, & himself? When we follow Jesus and His teachings the truth doesn't have to be terrifying, but will lead to true freedom to become the people God has called us to be. TALK ABOUT IT - Questions to GROW through with family, friends, & myself. 1. Do I believe “ignorance is bliss?" Where in my life has that idea held me captive? 2. How do most people respond to the idea of sin or that there is only one path to God? 3. How do most people respond to the idea of the devil or death? 4. Do I believe that Jesus claimed to BE God? What does the text indicate and what does it mean for me? 5. PRAYER: “Father, help me to be faithful to your teaching so i can experience your freedom!”

In this very personal, honest and direct podcast, Pastor Karl addresses one of the questions he is asked most often via email and in person, “How do know when it is time to leave a ministry?” Karl gives bold advice on the hard realities of ministry leadership, the challenges of working with imperfect ministry co-workers, reason not to leave, when you should leave, and practical advice on how to know when it is time to resign and seek a new church. He pulls no punches - you'll be challenged and encouraged whether or not you are currently asking, “Should I stay or should I go now?”Show notes:The Ultimate Toolbox for Children's MinistryKidology Ministry Management SeriesYosemite SummitTwo Models of Children's Pastors (linked in this post)Be God's Man in God's Place StoryHis Yoke is Easy

Part of The Ascended Life is knowing that you are the Principality and Power of Light within your sphere of influence. You don't walk into a room and begin to curse the darkness and bind the darkness and try to cast out the darkness. NO NO NO, you just turn the Light switch on and the darkness just flees. No fussing, no stress, no struggle… AT ALL! In John 8:12 says, Then Jesus said, “I am light to the world, and those who embrace me will experience life-giving light, and they will never walk in darkness.” This what Jesus says, right after He rescues the woman caught in the very act of adultery. This woman would become Jesus's greatest disciples. Mary Magadalene! We all have history. We all have a past. We all have hurts and wounds and trauma. The beautiful thing is Jesus does not condemn anyone. He defends and protects and releases a Life-Giving Light! As we embrace the life-giving light of Jesus we become as He is, in this world! Ladies and Gentlemen, you are not a mere reflection of God. NO, you have become the light and the salt in your perspective worlds! Jump on this podcast and embrace God's Life-Giving Light and BE God's answer everywhere you go.   Much Love, Barry C. Maracle

In this week's passage, Paul once again upends the way that we look at ourselves and how we are called to live as followers of Christ. We are no longer darkness but have been made to BE God's light. We are called to "evidence" our faith in Jesus by the way we live. Followers of Christ are called to be visible not hidden; to live in openness not in secret. Let's explore how this might be possible together.
