We have reached the end of our Exodus series! Chapter 40 concludes with the glory of the Lord filling the tabernacle, marking the completion of the structure, but not the end of the journey. The Israelites are not yet in the Promised Land. So why is this 40-chapter story so central to the biblical narrative? Because Exodus is not just background history—it is a legally binding testimony that points directly to the coming of a greater Messiah.Key Points1. A Testimony to the FutureHebrews 3:5 states that Moses was faithful as a servant, bearing witness to what would be spoken by God in the future. The Greek word used here for servant (therapon) implies an intimate, trusted servant whose testimony carries legal weight. Moses is a credible witness establishing the criteria for the Messiah. Anyone claiming to be the Messiah must be greater than Moses.2. Jesus is the Greater IntercessorMoses: Interceded for the Israelites on a hill to win a physical battle against the Amalekites. His hands were held up by his friends (Exodus 17).Jesus: Interceded on the hill of Calvary to win the eternal war against sin and death. His hands were held up by nails—and by the joy set before Him.3. Jesus is the Greater Deliverer & SacrificeMoses: Delivered the Israelites physically from Egypt, but he could not lead them all the way into the Promised Land. The Old Covenant required sacrifices to be made over and over again, like weed killer that only offers temporary relief.Jesus: Shared in our humanity to break the power of death and deliver us spiritually (Hebrews 2:14). As our High Priest, He offered one sacrifice for sins for all time, and then He sat down—because the work was finished (Hebrews 10:11-12). Note: Joshua (Yeshua), whose name points to Jesus, was the one who ultimately led the people into the Promised Land.4. Jesus is the Greater TabernacleMoses: Built the physical tabernacle where God's presence dwelled, but the people were kept out by a thick curtain and the barrier of sin.Jesus: The Word became flesh and "tabernacled" among us (John 1:14). When Jesus died on the cross, the physical curtain in the temple was torn in two. Now, through the blood of Jesus, we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place. Better yet, through the Holy Spirit, believers have become living tabernacles.5. The Warning: Guard Against a Hard HeartThe Israelites saw the Red Sea part and manna fall from the sky, yet their hearts grew hard and they built a golden calf. Signs and wonders cannot replace an intimate relationship with God. Hebrews warns us not to harden our hearts as they did, but to encourage one another daily. We guard against a hard heart through personal devotion and active participation in a faith community.ConclusionWhen Moses asked God, "Show me your glory," God tucked him in a rock and only allowed him to see His back. Moses did not get exactly what he asked for in that moment, nor did he get to enter the Promised Land in his lifetime. However, God does not forget our prayers. Centuries later, on the Mount of Transfiguration (Matthew 17), Moses finally stands in the Promised Land, face-to-face with Jesus, whose face shone like the sun. Moses finally saw the full glory of God. God is worth the wait.Calls to ActionExamine Your Heart: Are there areas where your heart has grown hard or calloused toward God?Speak it Out: If you are struggling with unbelief or a hard heart, confess it to someone in your faith community this week to break its power.Trust the Delay: If you have been waiting a long time for a prayer to be answered, look to Moses.

(This podcast was previously published on July 27, 2021)   Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...   We know by the Bible, certain things must happen before Jesus returns for the elect of God.   * There will be wars and rumors of wars and famines, pestilences, and earthquakes.   Matthew 24:6-9  Jesus says:  And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.  For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.  All these are the beginning of sorrows.   WWII was the worst war in the history of civilization according to Winston Churchill in his book The Gathering Storm.  (Chapter 1)   So far as pestilences, we've never seen anything like Coronavirus of 2020.  There have been many pestilences in times past, but never before a pestilence that covered the entire world.   ***   * According to the apostle Paul, before Jesus returns there has to be a "falling away" where churches depart from some scriptures and antichrist moves into the church groups and the apostasy comes into the churches.   2 Thessalonians 2   3-4  KJV  ... Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day (of the Lord) shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;   4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.   In 1982, God said to me:  "The falling away are not people leaving the churches, but the falling away are the church leaving the scriptures."   In NASB the "falling away" is called "the apostasy". v3 No one is to deceive you in any way! For it (the day of the Lord) will not come unless the apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, 4 who opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, displaying himself as being God.   The apostasy had to come into the churches before Jesus could return for the elect of God.   6-8  NASB   And you know what restrains him now, so that he will be revealed in his time. 7 For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only HE who now restrains will do so until HE is removed. 8 Then that lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will eliminate with the breath of HIS mouth and bring to an end by the appearance of HIS coming;   In 2015, God called to my mind the word "restrains":  I found this in the above scripture of NASB.   I asked God, "What is it that restrains antichrist?"   Instantly I heard, "Jesus, The Word, keeps antichrist out of the churches."   And my understanding was opened by God.  "When churches remove portions of scriptures or change scriptures, they remove Jesus (The Word) from the church and antichrist enters ... for only the scriptures, The Word which is Jesus, can keep antichrist out of the churches."   And I knew this is what I had been seeing in churches for the past 40 years when pastors changed scriptures and were not ashamed of that which they had done when I talked with them about this.   Some even admitted to me that the thing they had just taught was not in the Bible and they had just made it up.  But there was no shame.   In the end, in Revelation, we read even when the plagues were sent by God, they would not repent but they cursed God because of those plagues.   Revelation 16:9  And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give HIM glory.   And then I understood what I had been seeing pastors do from the time I was born again in 1975, in the first church I went to after being born again.   (That pastor was teaching tongues were of the devil ... while in the Bible Paul said, "forbid not to speak with tongues."  I Corinthians 14:39)   The apostasy was already taking place in the churches in 1975, and even centuries before as denominations broke away from the Holy Bible and set up their own groups, eliminating scriptures as they chose to do and installing religious symbols not prescribed by Bible.   This had to happen before Jesus could return for the elect, according to the apostle Paul in 2 Thessalonians 2:3.   And the breaking away from Bible grew worse and worse as the time continued through the centuries.   2 Timothy 3  Paul says: 1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come ... 5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away ... 7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth ... 13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.   To the end of this earth, church denominations will continue setting up their own doctrines and departing from portions of scripture in the Holy Bible and will grow worse and worse.   Jesus will destroy the apostate church groups when HE returns to gather HIS elect.   II Thessalonians 2:8-10  And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of HIS mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of HIS coming:   9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,   10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.   11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:   12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.   ***   * Another thing that had to happen before Jesus could return for the elect is the gospel had to be taught through all the world.   Matthew 24:14  Jesus says:  And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.   I believe we have seen this by Internet as well as by individuals who have spoken the gospel to all nations.   ***   The great tribulation of God comes:   Jesus says:   Matthew 24:29-31  Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:   30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.   31 And HE shall send HIS angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together HIS elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.   ***   When we are taken into heaven to meet Jesus:   2 Thessalonians 4:13-18  But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep (dead), that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.   14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with Him.   15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent (precede/go before) them which are asleep.   16 For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:   17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.   18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.   ***   The apostle Peter tells us what we should do as we wait for the return of Jesus:   2 Peter 3:14   Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of HIM in peace, without spot, and blameless.   We keep ourselves in peace, without spot and blameless while we wait for the return of Jesus.   We must not allow ourselves to be troubled by the apostate churches nor by the evil of those in this present world.  For that will consume us.   We must avoid those people and things that steal peace and cause us to depart from peace and joy of the Word of God.   And we must not join them in the evil by rejecting the scriptures which would allow antichrist into our own selves.   Matthew 24:12-13  Jesus says:  And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.   13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

Sermon on 1 John 1:1-4 by Rev. Ray Call (Missionary serving in the Dominican Republic)

Sermon on 1 John 1:1-4 by Rev. Ray Call (Missionary serving in the Dominican Republic)

The Word is not merely spoken; it is lived. Jesus demonstrates that truth is most powerful when it is expressed through love, obedience, and sacrifice.

The Word that was with God is the same Word that brings life and light into your situation.

This week, Pastor John kicks off a new series titled "His Name Is Jesus," delving into John chapter 1 to explore the profound identity of Jesus. He emphasizes that Jesus is the eternal Word of God, fully divine, and the very creator and sustainer of all things. Pastor John encourages listeners to stay connected to Jesus as their divine power source through the Holy Spirit as they navigate the new year.

21st December 2025Morning service

 John's Gospel begins by insisting that we cannot reduce Jesus to a mere teacher, philosopher, or moral example; to know who Jesus truly is, we must grasp that he is fully God. Without hesitation, John opens his account with profound truths that portray Jesus as the eternal Creator, the source of all physical and spiritual life, inviting us into awe and worship. To help us understand this divine identity, John uses two central images, Jesus as the “Word” and as the “Light.” By calling Jesus the “Word,” John emphasizes that Jesus uniquely reveals God; if we want to know what God is like, we need only look at him. Yet because some aspects of God's eternal nature are not immediately visible in Jesus' human form, John highlights these attributes from the very beginning, showing that the Word who became flesh is the same God who existed from the start and through whom all things were created. Newbigin's brilliant way of putting it is this: “How do you explain that which must, in the end, be accepted as the beginning of all explanation ? How do you use words to talk about the One who is himself the first Word that gave words their meaning ? That is the problem John solves in the first five verses of his Gospel.”

My hunch is that the whole Christmas thing began well before that starry night in Bethlehem. A long time before. Question is – how come God came up with it? IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE I have to tell you it Is hard to believe that we are on the home straight again – just turned that corner into December again – the end of another year. The shops are full of Christmas decorations. You know, it seems like just yesterday it was January and here we are, another one over – it's hard to believe. As I sat down this year to think about messages for December, you know, the whole Christmas, New Year thing, I just felt that this year, we need to take some time and start looking and talking about Christmas just a bit early. You know this whole rush, rush, rush thing that many of us go through and then in the middle of it all, in this clamber and noise and busyness, the end of the year, you hear ministers talking about the "real meaning of Christmas" – yea, right! I just want to get over the line; I just want to finish the year. Ever thought about this – the challenge for ministers and people like me is to talk about Christmas each year. In part there's a sense of, "Well, what do I say? I mean, it's Christmas – we all know the story; we all know the meaning." Do we, really? Rush, rush, rush, buy the turkey, the Christmas pantomime and then it's all over. And all the time you know, people are living lives that fall so short of, well, a full life; a satisfying life. Now sometimes people criticise me for saying things like that. "You religious people are always telling us that our lives fall short; you tell us something is missing; you tell us this and that". There's a tension between what I call the advertising industry view of the world, on the one hand and, you know, the glossy images of success we are all trying to live up to and the reality on the other. And it's not just me – there's a great song by Sting a few years ago called, "Message in a Bottle" – remember that one? This is how the lyrics start off: Just a castaway, an island lost at sea.Oh another lonely day and no one here but me. Oh more loneliness than any man could bear Rescue me before I fall into despair. I'll send you an SOS to the world I hope that someone gets my message in a bottle. And it finishes up like this: Walked out this morning, don't believe what I saw Hundred billion bottles washed up on the shore. Seems I'm not alone at being alone. Hundred billion castaways looking for a home. I'll send an SOS to the world I hope that someone gets my message in a bottle. It's a song that connected with a lot of people. It's a song that tells it just the way things are for so many people. It flips under that thin veneer of so called "success" – all those glossy, successful images the advertising industry used to get us to buy their stuff. And somehow, this song, "Message in a Bottle", speaks to the heart – it's real. So what are you saying, Berni, that we are all a bunch of losers? No, not that. Look around – there are so many people succeeding; doing amazing things: they're talented; their able; their committed – there's lots of good stuff happening in the world. Mixed up with lots of bad stuff too – it's always been that way. I guess though, I want to think for a moment about this whole "Message in a Bottle" thing. Is it true? Are there a whole bunch of lonely people out there? I was reading an article in the weekend newspaper the other day about the internet and blogging. The word 'blog' is short for 'weblog'. It's where people, mostly young, but plenty of not so young as well, get on line on the internet and they share their thoughts and their photos and their videos on this – it's like a personal billboard – for the whole world to see. How many people do you think there are on the internet, blogging – you know, people with their own personal blog sites? Over a hundred million! A hundred million – all sending out their 'message in a bottle' – all crying out to be noticed; all wanting to be significant. I asked my daughter – "what's it all about – I mean, you know, why do you do this blogging thing?" And she said it's all about how many friends you can have subscribing to your blog – whether it's on myspace.com or youtube or – it seems like this "message in a bottle" thing is happening in a way today, that Sting could never have imagined when he wrote that song a few years ago. Maybe you're not a blogger – I'm not – but you know what I'm talking about. There's this search for significance; looking for that place where, finally "I've found myself. I've discovered who I am. There's a deep sense of satisfaction about life and me and how I fit in." Well, often it's not so much about our circumstances but just about finding who we are and connecting and knowing why we are here and what our future is and where we're going. People are sending out their message in a bottle in the most amazing way. Sometimes it's through crime – it's about attention; about wanting to be noticed and needed. Yet the vast majority, I believe, live out life without ever really discovering who they are and why they're here and where they are going. Here we are at the beginning of December, hurtling towards Christmas. I know what you are thinking! 'Isn't it a bit too early for you to be talking about Christmas, Berni? Well not really – the shops have had their Christmas decorations up for weeks now. We are taking an early look at Christmas over these next few weeks because Christmas started well before Christmas; well before that starry night in Bethlehem two thousand years ago. The first Christmas started a long time before that. We know that Christmas probably wasn't in December because the shepherds were unlikely to be tending their flocks out by night in the middle of winter. And I guess, we all kind of know the Christmas story, the whole baby Jesus, born in a manger thing – Mary and Joseph and the donkey and the shepherds and the wise men from the East – all that stuff. But my hunch is the whole Christmas thing started well before that night in Bethlehem.   A RADICAL CONCEPT I was saying before that the whole Christmas thing started well before that night in Bethlehem. In fact, we know that it did. If you look through the Old Testament – if you've got a Bible, grab it because we are going to go there in a minute – the old Hebrew Scriptures, thirty nine books, written by different people over many centuries before Jesus was born. And the Old Testament contains a whole bunch of predictions or prophesies about Jesus – some are very, very specific, like: He would be born in Bethlehem, born of a virgin, of the tribe of Judah, the house of David – well over a hundred and that's a conservative estimate. It predicted how He would die; it predicted there would be soldiers gambling away His clothes; all sorts of things, things that Jesus would have found pretty hard to arrange for Himself, unless of course, He was who He says He was. Kind of a weird thing – what was God up to? Why are these predictions throughout the Old Testament about Jesus the Son of God? In fact, can I ask even a more direct question than that? Why Jesus at all? I mean why send Jesus His only Son to become a man and ultimately to die for you and me? Why not just forgive us and be done with it. I mean, I'm sorry to sound cynical, but why the theatrics? This is how I used to think. Not bad questions really. One of these places in the Old Testament that points forward to Jesus and shows us the shepherd heart of God happens in the Book of Ezekiel, chapter 34. If you've got a Bible, open it up; let's go to Ezekiel, chapter 34 and verse 11 – this is what it says: I myself will search for My sheep and look after them. As a shepherd looks after his scattered flock when he is with them, so I will look after My sheep. I will rescue them from all the places where they were scattered on a day of clouds and darkness. And again in verse 16: I will search for the lost and bring back the strays. I will bind up the injured and strengthen the weak but the sleek and the strong I will destroy. I will shepherd My flock with justice. There's this sense of the heart of a shepherd and you see it right through the Old Testament, over and over again, God talking about His shepherd heart; His heart to be in our midst. What if God saw all our bottles lying on that beach, like we heard in that song; the lyrics from "Message in a Bottle"? What if He heard the cry of our hearts? What if God always knew that the only way to still our hearts and satisfy our souls was for us to know Him? What if, well, what if Jesus is God's "Message in a Bottle" to us; to you and me? For me the constant theme of the Bible, from beginning to end, is God's heart to be in our midst. You see it over and over and over again. Remember the Exodus, when God heard the cry of His people who were oppressed in Egypt as slaves and He sends Moses to Pharaoh to tell Pharaoh, "Let My people go." And so eventually they flee and God protects them and they pass through the Red Sea and then they spend forty years in the wilderness. Let me ask you, where's God in all of this? Where's God in the wilderness? Come with me to Exodus, chapter 40 – the last chapter in the Book of Exodus – we'll have a look at verses 1 to 5. It says this: Then the Lord said to Moses, "Set up the Tabernacle or the Tent of the Meeting Place on the first day of the first month. Place the Ark of the Covenant in it and shield the Ark with a curtain. Bring in the table and set out what belongs on it, then bring in the lamp stand and set up its lamps. Place the gold alter of incense in front of the Ark of the Testimony and put the curtain at the entrance to the Tabernacle or the Tent. (The word "tabernacle" means "tent".) And again later in that chapter, beginning at verse 34, it says this: Then, when Moses had done all of these things, a cloud covered the Tent of the Meeting and the glory of the Lord filled the Tabernacle. Moses could not enter the Tent of Meeting because the cloud had settled upon it, and the glory of the Lord filled the Tabernacle. In all the travels of the Israelites, whenever the cloud lifted from above the Tabernacle, they would set out but if the cloud did not lift, they did not set out until the day that it lifted. So the cloud of the Lord was over the Tabernacle by day and fire was in the cloud by night in the sight of all the House of Israel during all their travels. See, all the other gods that the different nations worshipped were up on hills – they lived in temples. That's why the Old Testament talks about and condemns the high places because people had to go to those tin-pot little gods and idols up on the temples on hills and worshipped them – the people went to the gods. But the real God; the God of Israel – God wanted to be in the midst of His people. This notion was so radically different. I mean, we weren't there and so it's harder for us to appreciate how radically different God's approach is. And He was the only God who was like this. When they camped, the Tabernacle – the Tent of the Meeting; the Tent where God's presence resided – was right in the middle of them. There were twelve tribes of Israel – they would camp three to the north, three to the south, three to the east and three to the west. God was smack, bang in the middle. And you notice what it says here: In all the travels … (Exodus, chapter 40, verse 36) Notice how God uses "all": In 'all' the travels of the Israelites, whenever the cloud lifted from above the Tabernacle, they would set out but if the cloud did not lift, they did not set out until the day it lifted. So the cloud of the Lord was over the Tabernacle by day, fire was in the cloud by night in the sight of 'all' the House of Israel during 'all' their travels. That's why again, over and over in the Scripture, you read these words and you can read them with me here in Leviticus, chapter 26, verses 11 and 12. God says: I will put My dwelling place among you and I will not abhor you. I will walk among you and be your God and you will be My people. Please understand with me, how radical this is – how totally contrary it is to people's expectation about a god – how different the true God is from all the other gods that all the nations worship. Their concept was by and large of appeasing the gods so they wouldn't be punished. Here the God of Israel says, "I'm a God of relationship. I want to be with My people, on their journey, in their midst, all the time, where all the people can see Me." And then the whole of the rest of the story of the Old Testament is about Israel's struggle with God. That word "Israel" literally means "he struggles with God". Over and over again God sent His prophets to call the people back to Him and over and over again Israel rejects God and suffers the consequences. And for me the whole of the Old Testament is kind of screaming out, "IT AIN'T WORKING!" We can't hold up our end of this bargain – we need a different approach – and so it was.   IN THE FLESH Christmas is such a wondrous time and it's true for so many of us, it's easy to miss in the hurly burly of life. I wonder as you chew over the Scriptures we've looked at today how radical is it to you, this shepherd heart of God; this heart that God has to be in our midst? It's one thing to read about it, as God expressed it back then, but here and now? I don't know about you, but I find it easy to forget – to forget that God is on this journey with me. Let's look at Ezekiel's words again. Ezekiel, chapter 34, verse 14: I will tend them in a good pasture and on the mountain heights of Israel will be your grazing ground. There they will lie down in good grazing land and there they will feed in a rich pasture on the mountains of Israel. I, Myself will tend My sheep and have them lie down', declares the sovereign Lord. What's this "lying down" business? Have you ever asked that question? Well, it's shepherd language. See a shepherd knows that sheep will only lie down when they feel safe and when they feel at peace. And often you see it, the shepherd walks in their midst and they start to lie down because they feel safe – they don't feel like they've got to run away from danger. And for God in this language here in Ezekiel, He's saying, "By putting Myself in the midst of the people, I want to bring them peace and rest and joy in a good pasture, in good grazing land where they can feed on rich pasture." So we see God with this amazing heart to be smack, bang in the middle of our lives. And the logical extension of that, as He talks about it in the Old Testament, is He becomes one of us – flesh and blood; human. It's exactly what John writes – he called Jesus "The Word", the expression of who God is; God talking to us and telling us who He is, through Jesus. And the beginning of John's Gospel starts this way: In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning and through Him all things were made. Without Him nothing was made that has been made. But look just a bit further down in that same chapter – John, chapter 1, verse 14: Then the Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us. We have seen His glory; the glory of the One and only who came from the Father full of grace and truth. See the next logical step is that God becomes man. And the word that John uses for "made His dwelling among us", means "tabernacle or tent". "The Word became flesh and tabernacled among us," is what John writes here. He pitched His tent right in our midst. What does that remind you of? The Exodus story, we looked at just before on the programme – God on our journey with us. It's come back to the radicalness of this thing that God did. The Son of God becomes the Son of Man. We'll look at that and what it says to us a bit more next week. But talk is cheap, right? Anyone can talk – God can talk but actions speak louder than words – that's what Christmas is about. Christmas is about the shepherd heart of God in action – it's a radical step. God slips quietly into this world in a stable – humble but not unnoticed. At Christmas God slips quietly into our lives and on our journey. How different would our lives look if we truly came to grips with the fact that God is on this journey with us? Maybe I'm thick, but whenever troubles or opposition or tension or temptation comes in my life, I find it very, very easy to forget that, through Jesus God is on this journey with me. Like all the other nations around Israel who had gods out there; gods that they had to go to; gods that they had to shout a distance to; gods that they had to appease, you and I when life gets hard, can be like them. You know what; the only thing that stops me from living my life under the yolk of that terrible misconception is that I spend a lot of time in God's Word. My Rock and my anchor – God is speaking to me every day, through His Word, saying to me, "I am on this journey with you. When I sent My Son to become a man, one of the prime things I was saying to you is that I have come to tabernacle in your midst – I have come to be in this place with you – I have come to walk the roads that you walk, to feel the pain that you feel, to deal with the temptations and the trials that you have to deal with." Jesus is God in our midst. That's why in Isaiah it says: Thou shall call Him Emmanuel – God is with us. And as Jesus walks with us and we walk with Him and we build that relationship, His heart is for us to lie down in good pasture, to have peace. My peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you. "I know how you feel, not just because I'm God but because I've walked the road ahead of you. I've dealt with all the things you have to deal with." I don't know about you, I wasn't born in a stable, but my Saviour was. I didn't have to flee King Herod as he tried to kill me, but my Saviour did. Come on! How different would our lives be if we lived them in the certain knowledge that this radical God took this radical step at Christmas? He stepped out of the comfort of heaven onto the dusty roads of Israel, to walk them ahead of me, to be my God, to be with me on my journey, to be with us in our midst.

In this new sermon series on the Gospel of John, we discover that Jesus is the living Word of God, revealing the heart and mind of God to us. Far more than a wise leader, Jesus is the eternal Son of God, existing before creation, fully divine, and the creator of all things. We must understand who Jesus is to have strengthened faith and witness. Join us as we begin this series by considering John 1:1-3.Also on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ikWm7O45_vISunday, September 21, 2025Pastor Kevin PierpontCalvary Church, Webberville, Michiganhttps://webbervillechurch.orgSPOTIFYhttps://creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/calvary-church-of-webberv/episodes/Jesus-The-Word---John-11-3-e38j3pq

We continued our teaching series and Pastor Nelson taught on “Jesus The Word”The Word didn't just start existing at John 1:1 and He also wasn't just quiet all through the Old Testament.The Word has been existing since before time began!When the Bible speaks of Jesus as The Word, what it encapsulates is the eternality of the word, the creating power of The Word, the revelatory nature of The Word. Nothing that is created can hold every other thing that was created. It has to be that which is eternal that must hold everything. He is the one by whom every other thing, visible and invisible, angels and humans were made.Jesus is God. It is by Him all other things were made and it is through Jesus we see the Father!

Sermon Notes - John 1:1-18 - Jesus: The WordMain Point: As the Word, Jesus has come to reveal God and give life to His children.-The Word is God (1-2)-The Word is Creator (3-5)-The Word is Revealed (6-15)-The Word Reveals God (16-18)

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Tuesday morning, the 22nd of July, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We go to 1 John 5:7: “For there are three that bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one.” Then we go forward to the Gospel of John 1:1-3: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.” Wow! Who is the Word? Yes, you got it right. The Word is Jesus. We as believers believe in the Holy Trinity, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. It doesn't say there are three that bear witness in Heaven, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. No, it says, the Father, the Word and the Holy Spirit. Now we can understand how important it is to know our Bibles. I've always said if somebody says to you, ”Show me this Jesus you're always talking about.” Give them a Bible. When I travel to disadvantaged countries, where there's very little finance, people are very poor, we take food, we take clothes and we take Bibles and I want to tell you, they're not interested in the food, even though they may be hungry. They're not interested in the clothes, even though they may be clothed in rags. What they want is the Bible. I have seen grown men fighting for a Bible. I really mean that, fisticuffs, because the Bible is Jesus Christ in print.When I get letters sent to our office with very difficult questions, I have to go to the Word, and sometimes the people don't like the answers but I have to tell them, “This is what the Bible says.” When I have to settle differences, I've seen fathers and sons come to me who are having a dispute on the farm for example. I can't take the one side of the one party because I like them, no. What does the Word say? And then we go by the word and then there's nothing to argue about. That's why you put your hand on the Bible in court and you pray that you will tell the truth and nothing but the truth, so help you God. The Bible is my direction finder. You know the thought for the day that you are listening to right now, I'm in my sixth year. I have not missed one single day, all the glory to God, and people say, ”How do you do it?” I do it through the Bible, the Word of God. Today Jesus bless you as you cherish and love the Word, who is the soon coming Saviour of the world, our Lord Jesus Christ.God bless you and goodbye

This series will examine the biblical framework by which we can properly understand the person and character of Jesus. In a culture that has diminished the righteousness and holiness of the Messiah, we seek to clearly identify the Jesus of Scripture. Join us as we explore John's Gospel to meet Jesus in truth.

Father gives us examples of people who truly live in God's Word.

No matter how dark your circumstances may seem, the light of Christ will always shine brighter, bringing hope and guidance into your life.

In this lecture, Don Carson explores the profound theological themes in the prologue of John's Gospel (John 1:1–18), emphasizing the significance of the Word (Logos) as both the inner thought of God and the outward expression of his self-disclosure. Carson highlights the dual roles of the Word as light and life, and he contrasts the law given through Moses with the grace received through Jesus Christ.He teaches the following:The contextual significance of the Word (Logos)How John's prologue is connected to Genesis 1The Word is the light of men and the life that prepares them for eternityWitness as a theme in John's GospelHow John the Baptist's role as witness sets the stage for the IncarnationHow the Word confronts and divides humanityThe significance of Jesus as the ultimate revelation of God

John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. I think this is one of the most amazing statements about Jesus in the Bible. Commentator Arthur Pink wrote that in this verse we see Jesus' relation to time, to the Godhead, and to the Trinity. Each reality is important. The first declares that Jesus is eternal. He already existed before the beginning of all things. The second reality is that He is the Word, “the spokesman of God, and the One who spelled out the Deity, and One who has declared or told forth the Father” (Arthur Pink). The writer of Hebrews in 1:2-3 described Jesus as the One through whom God spoke and the exact representation of His glory. Jesus could say, “If you've seen me, you've seen the Father” (John 14:9). The third reveals that the Son is separate from God the Father and the Holy Spirit because He was with God. It also reveals that Jesus was and is always in the presence of God. And fourth, Jesus was God. Only one who is God can exactly express or reveal all of God. Jesus is God manifested. Expressing and revealing that great truth was the goal of John's gospel. My vision for the live to love scripture encouragements isn't to give an exhaustive commentary on each scripture. It's to draw from each verse an encouragement to live to love with Jesus as our purpose in life. I will argue that the primary way God receives glory in His people is by their living to love with Jesus. Then I will make an appeal for you to embrace God's call to walk in love with Him. Jesus was God, yet separate from God, and His purpose in coming to earth could be described this way. He came to glorify His Father by living to love with the Father, in the power of the Holy Spirit. John's conclusion after knowing Jesus was that God is love (1 John 4:8). Jesus came to earth to reveal that God is love by loving with the Father. He died, was raised, and ascended to the Father in order to come be with us so we could glorify the Father as we live to love with Him. Our encouragement today is that as believers in Jesus Christ, the Son of God, we have living with us He who in the beginning was the Word. He who lives in us lives in the presence of God and is God. We have God, who is love, living His life in us. This is the message of John's gospel. It's great news, and so we are not living for God, but He is living for us. As we will see in the next few days, Jesus alone is life. May we walk today in reverence and awe, showing our gratitude to God for giving us life by living to love with Jesus, for the glory of God. I invite you to become a partner in our ministry. Would you pray about becoming a regular supporter of Elijah Ministries and the Live to Love with Jesus ministry? I hope you will receive the joy and benefit of “giving it forward,” so others may receive encouragement to turn their hearts to God and to live to love with Jesus.

Today, we'll look at Jesus as a baby.John calls Jesus “The Word,” an intentional choice for the audience of the day. Jesus of Nazareth wasn't just a good person; He was God in the flesh.He is fully human and fully divine, working with God to restore the relationship with broken people like us. Everything we need is found in Jesus Christ, born in Bethlehem's manger.

A FULL CHRISTMAS JOHN 1:1-6, 9-14, 16-17 Part 1 The Gospels of Matthew and Luke give us portraits of the “Christmas Story,” describing some of the events surrounding the birth of Jesus. John begins his Gospel with a beautiful, glorious, and deeply theological description of Jesus—The Word.   John tells us: Jesus has always been. (Vs.1) Jesus is God and God with us. (Vs.1,2) Jesus is Creator. (Vs. 3,10) Jesus came to us. (Vs. 10,11 14) Jesus is light and life. (Vs. 4,5,9) Jesus knows misunderstanding. (Vs. 5) Jesus knows rejection. (Vs. 10,11) Jesus is Savior. (Vs. 12) Jesus is full of grace and truth. (Vs. 14,16,17)   How can we exemplify Christ and have a FULL Christmas?   1.) Be Present.  Jesus is with us. (Immanuel Isaiah 7:14, 8:8) (Emmanuel Matthew 1:23) It is GRACE for us to be more interested and invested in ENJOYING the family and festivities, rather than DOING or MAKING the festivities. (This is a hard balance…convicting for servant minded Mama's.)   2.) Embrace Creativity.  Jesus created a beautiful world. The beauty of Christmas and Christmas decor can reflect His creation and can teach truth. (Nativity, history, Carols) *Don't be a Humbug ;) *Don't go to the other extreme and get caught up in comparison or frustration.

Don't participate in the things these people do. For once you were full of darkness, but now you have light from the Lord. So live as people of light! For this light within you produces only what is good and right and true. Carefully determine what pleases the Lord. Take no part in the worthless deeds of evil and darkness; instead, expose them. (Ephesians 5:7–11 NLT)   One of the first things God did in creation was to separate light from darkness (see Genesis 1:4). That separation between light and darkness becomes a recurring theme in Scripture. Spiritually speaking, light represents God and His ways. Darkness represents evil.   In his Gospel, the apostle John wrote of Jesus: “The Word gave life to everything that was created, and his life brought light to everyone. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness can never extinguish it” (John 1:4–5 NLT). The lines are drawn. Jesus is the light. Everyone who follows Him does so in the light. The light can penetrate the darkness, but the darkness can never extinguish the light.   Not everyone is drawn to the light, of course. Jesus said, “And the judgment is based on this fact: God's light came into the world, but people loved the darkness more than the light, for their actions were evil. All who do evil hate the light and refuse to go near it for fear their sins will be exposed” (John 3:19–20 NLT). It's not that people don't believe that Jesus is the Son of God; it's that they don't want to follow Him because it means they must turn from their sin. And they don't want to do that.   Christians ask, “Why do people attack us for our faith? Why do they oppose us for what we believe? Why do they want to cancel us, our message, our voice, and our culture?” The answer is that we're bright lights in a dark place.   The gravitational pull of darkness is strong. We escaped it when we came to Christ. But it's still there, trying to drag us back in. Darkness takes advantage of our curiosity. It exploits our boredom. It urges us to join the crowd. It appeals to our sense of adventure and our impulse to walk on the wild side.   In Ephesians 5, Paul counters darkness's pull with a simple caution: Remember who you are. Remember all that you have in the light. Instead of allowing darkness to pull you in, shine your light on it. Expose it for what it really is.   If you find yourself in darkness, move to the light. Ask God to forgive you and set you back on the well-lit path. The Bible says, “The night is almost gone; the day of salvation will soon be here. So remove your dark deeds like dirty clothes, and put on the shining armor of right living. Because we belong to the day, we must live decent lives for all to see. Don't participate in the darkness of wild parties and drunkenness, or in sexual promiscuity and immoral living, or in quarreling and jealousy. Instead, clothe yourself with the presence of the Lord Jesus Christ. And don't let yourself think about ways to indulge your evil desires” (Romans 13:12–14 NLT). — Listen to the Greg Laurie Podcast Become a Harvest PartnerSupport the show: https://harvest.org/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
