What Did Jesus Say Terry Christian pt 1 (https://kcrpodcast.com/18827533_g/) The Bible is known as “The Word of God.” As it is and as it should be. Jesus is known as “The Son of God.” As He is and as He should be. Then, in John chapter 1 verse 1, we read, “In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God…” Drop to verse 14 and we read, “And the Word was made FLESH and dwelt among us…” This scripture is referring to JESUS. Amen…don’t shout me down when I’m preaching good! So, if the entire Bible is the Word of God…and the Word of God became flesh in the form and body of Jesus, it would make sense that everything Jesus said would be, what? “The Word of God.” If you were talking with some important businessman and that person was going to give you his “secret for success,” would you rather go and read a synopsis of his life, or listen to what he actually would say to YOU? That is how we should treat the Four Gospels because they record what Jesus had to say TO US. Well, my guest today has spent 12 years completing an absolutely marvelous book called, “What Did Jesus Say: The Seven Messages from the Master.” (https://amzn.to/3b1KBrY) Terry Christian is a former inspirational speaker and executive trainer with over 20 years of experience giving more than 2500 presentations to audiences across American and Canada. Several years ago, he retired from public speaking after being led by the Holy Spirit in what he calls a “redirection for his life.” Today, he counsels individuals and couples seeking a more mature understanding of their relationship with Jesus Christ. He believes the message taught by Jesus was “The Way by The Word.” Amen. Now, coming all the way from Jamaica, where he now lives, help me welcome to the program, Reverend Terry Christian. Terry, thank you for coming on the program today! Terry, the first question I always ask is this. Other than the information I just shared, tell us in your own words, “Who is Terry Christian?” Your ministry is called “Foundations for Life.” (http://foundationsforlife.org/) Tell us about your ministry? You started out, as I said, as an inspirational speaker. How does that mesh with what you do now? I love reading about the “Words of Jesus.” I have interviewed the author of the book “The Red Letter Bible.” I am really impressed with how you organized your book “What Did Jesus Say: Seven Messages from the Master.” (https://amzn.to/3b1KBrY) What was your motivation for writing this book? What is it that you hope to accomplish with this book? What is the take away you hope your readers will receive? How is this book different from most Christian books? We see, at the time of this recording, mass chaos in the world because of this Wuajan Virus or Corona Virus, it has different names. Jamaica is really a tourist destination, not just for Americans, but around the world. How has this virus and all that is happening right now affecting the normal life of the people where you are at? What do you think the Christians should be doing right now in this turbulent times? What do you think Jesus would say in this day and hour in which we live? Let’s go back to your book for a minute. Can you tell us a synopsis of what the 7 messages of Jesus are? CONTACT INFORMATION:Email: What Did Jesus Say: Seven Messages from the Master (https://amzn.to/3b1KBrY) – on Amazon
More Than a Song - Discovering the Truth of Scripture Hidden in Today's Popular Christian Music
The red letters in our Bibles highlight the words of Christ. In Crowder's new song "Red Letters" he sings of the power of those words to change our hearts as the Holy Spirit breathes life into our spiritually dead bodies. There are some pretty big ideas woven into this song. Let's explore the Scriptural basis together. On this episode I discuss: Taking a B.I.T.E. out of Scripture - this week's Bible Interaction Tool Exercises include: Reading in context Referring to an outside resource Reading in a variety of translations Consulting all four gospel accounts The history of the Red Letter Bible - Crossway.org Article How this song reminds us of the Scriptural truth that we are born sinners and God sent a Messiah to redeem and restore all things We are sinners not only by action and attitude, but by nature - Ephesians 2:1-3 Our destiny is hell without Jesus - John 3:35-36 Christ's arrest and crucifixion - John 18-19 How the priests lost sight of their true role and thus missed the Messiah in their midst Connecting the "prison walls" in our song to the veil in the temple torn in two - Matthew 27:50-53 The significance of the veil being torn in two - GotQuestions.org Article The miracle of the cancellation of our debt through Christ's sacrifice on the cross - Colossians 2:13-14 Additional Resources Lyrics and Chords - Worship Together This Week's Challenge Sit in a larger chunk of Scripture by heading over to John 18 and 19 to review the details of Christ's crucifixion. Consider what Christ nailed to the cross as explained in Colossians 2:13-14 as you sing along with this week's song. Read this article about the creator of the Red Letter Bible and his hope for you, the reader of God's Word. Ponder the red letters of Christ's words, the red thread of redemption woven throughout the Old and New Testaments, and the significance of the salvation and freedom offered through Christ's sacrifice.
Fantastic sermon explaining that all scripture is important and how to interpret it. A must hear message for our time.
If we read a "Red Letter Bible" we notice something changes in the book of Matthew from chapter 5 up to the end of chapter 7. EVERYTHING is in red. How important is that not to us? For the first time we see Jesus speak without interruption for an entire 3 chapters. At the end of chapter 7, it says that Jesus taught as one having authority, not like the scribes, and astonished the people. What would be so important that Jesus would speak to the people who thronged Him without taking a break for anything - no healing the sick, multiplying food or any parables, just straight teaching? Together we are going to dig into the importance of "The Sermon On the Mount" as we allow Holy Spirit to take us deeper.
What's up with all of the red printing in the Bible? In one of these spots, Jesus tells his followers that if they have faith the size of a mustard seed, they can do amazing things. Is it hyperbole or is something else going on? Join the people...
