A committed servant of Jesus must be available, humble, obedient, faithful, and enduring. The truth is, no matter our capacity, or our talents, or our giftedness, when it comes to the service opportunities appointed to us through Jesus, complete faithfulness is required.
Jesus encountered a rich young man who seemed to be genuinely seeking the way to eternal life. Yet when Jesus called upon him to forsake his earthly riches, he was unable to let go of them in order to follow Jesus and thereby gain entrance into the Kingdom of Heaven. We must follow Jesus wholeheartedly seeking the eternal rewards He had promised for those who faithfully follow Him rather than the temporary blessings of this earthly life.
Jesus teaches on Marriage(Divorce) and Celibacy
Childlike faith, Warnings against sin, The lost sheep, Church discipline, and Forgiveness
Tonight’s topics include Jesus’ casting out of a demon, predicting His death once again, and a fish with a coin in its mouth.
Our Matthew study takes us through a discussion on the transfiguration.
Tonight, we look at Peter’s confession of Jesus as the Christ, the first time Jesus predicts His coming death and resurrection, and Jesus’ powerful teaching about denying self.
God’s Word tells us that peacemakers are blessed. He also promises that He will give His peace that surpasses human understanding to those who live our lives for Christ. But we must always remember that His peace, and our abilities and opportunities to share that peace are gifts from God – not anything we should take our own pride in. Instead, we should rejoice that He has called us, and that He has rescued us out of death to write our names in His book of life.
The wise men from the east give us the example of how we can find renewed joy and encouragement at Christmas time – by seeking and worshiping Jesus with all our heart.
As Christ followers we must honestly examine our motivations for our service to the Gospel. If we find we are not following the Lord for the right reasons, we must confess this sin before God, and seek His strength and guidance to bring us back into truly godly fellowship.
