Living for Jesus will not be easy. There's no place in the Bible that ensures an easy walk as a Christian. Pastor Ricky wants us to be reminded of this in today's message but he also wants us to not be afraid. Though the people in Jesus' time opposed Him and even eventually killed Him, Jesus stood firm in His message of love, hope, and forgiveness. He had the truth on His side and His Heavenly Father strengthening Him daily. We too have the truth on our side, in Jesus Himself to give us strength and courage.

As we spend more and more time with Jesus reading His word and praying, we will begin to see his heart for us and for the people around us. Pastor Ricky today encourages us to take on Jesus' identity so that we will be able to have His heart for our community. The world has a standard they think each person should live up to but it tends to be self-focused and not generous and loving toward others. When we ignore the world and allow Jesus to shine through us, we will begin to make a difference.

Finding common ground on which to create unity is difficult. People's individual interests, backgrounds, and human nature can all cause distance to form. God however has created opportunities for unity, especially in the church family. He took care of molding each person to interact how He desires with others but He does ask us to not actively seek to undo it. Pastor Ricky today encourages us to work through the differences that arise in our relationships and allow God to work to maintain unity.

This world is comprised of so many different ethnicities, backgrounds, interests, and more. It can be hard to find common ground with others. We may try to create a connection based on one of those but that one thing may not last. Today Pastor Ricky shares with us the only common ground that can connect each individual, Jesus. Jesus does not discriminate against anyone but instead offers forgiveness and life to everyone. Adopting Jesus' attitude will change how we see the world.

People will say that they are exploring religion or that they don't have all the answers yet so they aren't settling on one thing. However Pastor Ricky today points out to us that we have all the answers. The Bible is packed full of information about God and His love for us. It gives us the truth we are searching for. God also provides answers to us through time spent worshipping Him and conversing with Him. The more time we spend with Him, the closer we will get to Him and the more trust will grow and remain.

Did you catch Pastor Ricky's life-altering declaration for us? In case you didn't hear it, here it is again, “This life is not about us”. We are not here on earth to have the most money, or the biggest house, or the best car, or to get to the top rung of the corporate ladder, or be famous. You're here to do something for God. Today we will be reminded that each job that God has for the people He created is different but in the end, the mission is similar, loving people as God loves them. God wants to bless us as we bless others.

There's a reason why we get so worked up over politics and injustice in our nation, as well as the injustices all around the world. Today Pastor Ricky's explanation for this deep desire for us to see wrongs made right and to see leaders of nations fix what's wrong in the world is that we long for the second coming of Jesus. We long for the day that Jesus will rule as king during His millennial reign in Jerusalem. Only until our Lord rules and reigns will there be peace and prosperity.

As Pastor Ricky continues his teaching series through the Gospel of John, he'll be emphasizing the importance for us to keep our eyes focused on eternity. Even the disciples that were with Jesus had an earthly kingdom on their minds when Jesus talked about His coming kingdom. The disciples thought Jesus was going to overthrow Rome and set free the Jews from oppression. Jesus however was talking about his heavenly kingdom and we need to continually reorient our focus toward that kingdom.

There's a reason why we get so worked up over politics and injustice in our nation, as well as the injustices all around the world. Today Pastor Ricky's explanation for this deep desire for us to see wrongs made right and to see leaders of nations fix what's wrong in the world is that we long for the second coming of Jesus. We long for the day that Jesus will rule as king during His millennial reign in Jerusalem. Only until our Lord rules and reigns will there be peace and prosperity.

Today Pastor Ricky will be challenging us to be compassionate and loving instead of being confrontational just for the sake of winning an argument. You're called to preach the gospel and to make disciples and yes, we will have to defend our faith by speaking the truth that will sometimes offend. But the only way to do this while properly reflecting Jesus' character is by being moved by compassion. Don't argue with unbelievers. Love them and allow the Holy Spirit to minister through you.

There is a demonic spiritual battle being waged against the children of God that has been waged since God created man and woman. Satan can't overthrow God so his main goal is to hurt God by hurting His children. As Pastor Ricky continues this teaching series through John, he'll be encouraging us to remain faithful, even during times of persecution. The Bible says that those who want to live a Godly life will be persecuted.

Have you ever felt rejected? Of course. Perhaps you've had a bad experience as a child being rejected by a parent or family member. We can go throughout our lives being let down by many different people. There's one person who will never let you down. As a Christian, you have an eternal Father in heaven who loves you with an unconditional and sacrificial love that no earthly parent or person can provide. The Bible says that you are beloved by the Heavenly Father regardless of your past.

As Pastor Ricky continues his teaching series, he'll be exhorting us to wholly commit ourselves over to the lordship of Jesus. When we were told that if we receive Jesus we would be forgiven of our sins, many of us jumped on board without hesitation at that invitation. However, when we were told to rid ourselves of certain things like sexual immorality or having to love unconditionally, we may grow fearful or hesitant. God is faithful, when we take a step of faith to obey Him He'll bless that path.

Medical research continuously comes out saying heart disease is the leading cause of death among men, cancer is one of the leading causes of death among women, and suicide is the leading cause of death among teenagers. Pastor Ricky will be reminding us that sin is the true leading cause of death among all people. The Bible says that death spread to all men because all men sin. The only hope we have to be cured of death is to be born again into the kingdom of God.

One of the biggest lies that the enemy has told the world is that truth is relative. Today Pastor Ricky will be explaining that Jesus Himself said that He is the only way to get to heaven. This truth of Jesus being the only way of salvation goes against the very fiber of the world's system that's teaching that all religions lead to the same God. This is a deceptive heresy that has unfortunately even crept into some churches. Don't be deceived, there are indeed universal truths and relativism is a lie.

There is an extremely dangerous heresy that many of the world believe in and that some of the church even believe in. That false teaching is the belief that all roads lead to the same God. Today Pastor Ricky will be explaining how Jesus Himself said that there is no way to the Father except through Him. Regardless of popular opinion or what your feelings tell you, Jesus is the only way, truth, and life. No one comes to the Father except through Him.

As Pastor Ricky continues his teaching series through the Gospel of John, he'll be encouraging us to have faith in God's perfect plan even when we are in the midst of a storm. The disciples believe that Jesus was the Messiah. They saw many miracles and knew He was sent by God but they still had doubts. The disciples weren't told every detail of the plan of God. They had to exercise faith. Just like the disciples, we too need to exercise our faith and trust in His character and plans.

When most unbelievers are asked about what they think about church, a common response is that they believe the church is full of hypocrites. The truth of the matter is that there are many imperfections within the church. One thing we all need to remember is that the church is for those who are sick and in need of help. It's not for those that are well. Jesus said that He was the Great Physician, that He came for those that knew they were sick and in need of a savior.

We've been commissioned to go out into all the world, preaching the gospel and to make disciples. The question is, are you obeying this great commission of Jesus? Today Pastor Ricky will be continuing to emphasize the importance of making Jesus preeminent over our lives as well as being a functioning member of the body of Christ and obeying the mission God has for us. We're all commissioned to preach the gospel and make disciples but we also have individual callings as well.

As Pastor Ricky continues his teaching series through the Gospel of John, he'll be reminding us that not only should we be servants, but we should be servants even to those that don't deserve it. Jesus washed the feet of His disciples even though He knew one would betray Him and another would deny Him three times. We aren't called to simply serve and love those that are lovable but to bless those that curse us and persecute us. We should bless and pray for those that despitefully use us.

In ancient times, for someone to take off their garments and begin to wash the feet of others, it meant they were lowly and of extremely low position in culture. Today Pastor Ricky will be encouraging us to follow in the footsteps of Jesus and to allow ourselves to take the humble position of a servant. The Bible says that a servant isn't greater than his master. If Jesus being God in the flesh, humbled Himself and served others, how much more should we.

The language of scripture often calls the church the household of God. In that time period, a household was made up of not only the immediate family but extended family members as well that would add to the home. Today Pastor Ricky will be encouraging us to have fellowship with other believers and to remember that Jesus made the church to be a family, a warm loving household. The Apostle Paul also exhorts us not to forsake the fellowship of the brethren.

Today, Pastor Ricky will be explaining the importance of Jesus being the center of our family and how we should be obeying God's call for our family, to be a light to the world. Jesus is not just a superhuman guy with supernatural abilities. He is God, in the flesh, who created the heavens and the earth. When we truly believe that Jesus is more than a good teacher and more than a prophet and that He is God in the flesh, our lives reflect that belief. Our families will look different than the families of the world.

THE RESURRECTION OF JAIRUS' DAUGHTERJesus Ruins Funerals – Part 2Springcreek Church | Senior Pastor Keith StewartMarch 17, 2024#realspringcreekchurch #jesusruinsfunerals #resurrection #countdowntoeaster #easter #jesus #miracle #hope https://www.springcreekchurch.org/ Of all the resurrection miracles we're looking at in this series, this particular one is most unique in that it is coupled with another miracle that takes place within the story itself. There is so much we learn about Christ's compassion, His power, and what He intends to do for each and every one of us. Don't miss this second installment in our series, Jesus Ruins Funerals.DISCUSSION QUESTIONS1. The story of the woman with a chronic menstrual problem presented a unique set of challenges in first-century Jewish culture that it would not present today. But all of us can relate to some or all of the ways this woman was suffering physically, socially, religiously, and economically. What stood out to you most about this healing? Why did Jesus call this woman out from her anonymity and isolation rather than just continuing on with his journey to Jairus' house? How significant is it that Jesus called this nameless woman “daughter”?  How is her healing like what an individual experiences when they give their life to Jesus Christ?2. Pastor Keith commented, “Faith gives us access to Jesus and his power in our lives but it doesn't give us control over Jesus or His power.” Jairus may have struggled with the delay in ministering to the woman with the issue of blood (although the text doesn't say) given the seriousness of his daughter's condition. Have you ever struggled with God's timing? Have you ever wanted to dictate to God when, where, and how He is to answer your prayer? How does this story speak to that issue?3. Just like with the woman whom Jesus called “daughter”, Jesus speaks similar tender words to the dead young girl. Talitha is a term of endearment, like a pet name or a special nickname a mother might use for her daughter. In both of these miracles, it's not just the healing that is highlighted but also the restoration of relationship. Miracles are always bigger than we imagine. In the same way, we are not merely healed of our sin sickness, we are restored in relationship, brought back into the family, included, and made to feel special. When you think about what it means to be restored in relationship to the family of God, how do you hear God referring to you? What do we read in Scripture? What have you heard Him speak to your spirit?4. There is no question, these two miracles are intertwined. Those are so many similarities and contrasts that it could not be accidental. In what ways are the stories different? In what ways are the stories the same? In what way do both miracles show us what Christ will do on the cross and through His resurrection?BONUS QUESTION: Pastor Keith listed nine Markan Sandwiches in the extended message notes. Individually or as a group, take some time to study one of the other examples of this sandwich technique that Jewish writers used. Remember, the middle story often holds the key to understanding the story it interrupts. In the passage or passages you examine, what stands out about the middle story that helps you better understand the story it interrupts?1 - Jesus Family and Beelzebub: 3.30-352 - Parable of the Sower and Purpose of Parables: 4.1-203 - Jairus and the Bleeding Woman: 5.21-434 - Sending out the Twelve and John the Baptist: 6.7-325 - Cursing of the Fig Tree and Cleansing of the Temple: 11.12-256 - The plot to kill Jesus and his anointing: 14.1-117 - Peter's Denial and Jesus' Trial: 14.53-728 - Jesus predicts the failures of his followers and the Last Supper: 14.17-319 - The Women and Joseph of Arimathea: 15.40-16.8
