Let’s Talk About “the Bucket” | July 14, 2019

 

Memento Mori
A Latin phrase—Remember you will die.”
How do you want to die?… like Grandpa?
We used to look at this differently (Litany of the Saints)
Now we say, “He kicked the bucket, etc.”

 

The “World” Has An opinion (Pastor Jeff Hinds) (not according to…)
Atheism— nothing | Hebrews 9:27; John 11:25
Reincarnation—over & over | Hebrews 9:27
Soul-Sleep—I’ll wait for You here | Luke 23:43; 2 Corinthians 5:6-9
Purgatory—Painful but worth it… | Ephesians 2:8-9; Hebrews 10:14

 

Jesus Raises Lazarus to Life | John 11:1-44

 

Which Light Are We Using to Navigate?
This sickness will not end in death
A man who walks by day will not stumble
There are two meanings here…
In plain words, “Lazarus is dead.” LEO Death Notifications

 

We live by “sight”, not by “faith” (if we’re being honest)
I know God will give you whatever you ask
I know about the resurrection on the last day
Jesus is the Resurrection & the Life… even TODAY !
And He is compassionate… He weeps

 

Reality Confronted
4 days… he will stink!
There is something from Heaven happening here
Jesus is in charge, “Lazarus, come out!”
The world rejects the Author of life

 

Death—An Enemy… and a Friend
From beginning to the end | Genesis 2:17; 1 Corinthians 15:26
Enemy to the unbeliever—Friend to the believer
BUT… weep with those who weep …like Job’s friends | Romans 12:15
“Where, O death is your victory?…” | 1 Corinthians 15:54b-58

WHY JESUS | He knows you… BUT doesn’t condemn you! | April 7, 2019

WHY JESUS | He knows you… BUT doesn’t condemn you! | April 7, 2019

 

Take a Look Back…
What have you done, that if others knew about it, you would have no friends here?
Does God know about it?
Does He really know about me?

 

An Outcast of Outcasts | John 4:1-42
If you wanted to make a big impact who would you approach? One with great credibility or one with none?
Jesus knows you… all about you
Jesus reveals Himself to those looking for Him
What was her response?
What should ours be?
When does that responsibility end?

 

Caught in the Act | John 8:2-11
She was set up, but she was still guilty
The crowd wanted judgment & punishment
The crowd was no better than she
Jesus did not condemn her
Do you think He wants to condemn you?
What did Jesus command her to do?
Does this apply to you?

 

Jesus Was On MIssion | Luke 19:10 & John 3:17
Jesus seeks out a hated tax collector
Jesus didn’t come to condemn the world

 

Take a Look Forward…
He knows all about you… that’s why He came
Jesus sacrificed His life for yours!
Now, go tell others all about Him!
No one is an outcast from Him
There are only the lost…
     …whom He wants us to seek… so He can save!
