WHY JESUS | Nobody’s Perfect! | April 14, 2019
Why Jesus | Nobody’s Perfect! | April 14, 2019
What’s the Standard?
The Pharisees were the Billy Grahams of their day
Everyone looked up to them
Jesus praised their righteousness | Matthew 5:20
Do you live in a small house or a penthouse? | Luke 18:9-14
Wait a Minute… What’s the Standard?
Isn’t there a Law to live by? | Mark 10:17-20
You’ve heard it said, but I tell you… | Matthew 5:21-22, 27-28…
It’s all about the heart! | Mark 10:21-25; Matthew 6:21
Who Then Can Be Saved?!
With man this is impossible, but not with God… | Mark 10:26-27
All things are possible with God
Does Anyone Deserve to be Saved?
Are you better than the “mom” from Milladore?
Is there anything more reprehensible?!
How about killing God’s one and only Son?
Why Jesus?
We need someone like us…
who understands us…
but is perfect…
to represent us to God… | Hebrewa 2:14-18
With confidence?! What about righteousness? | Hebrews 4:14-16
Jesus seemed to think that personal righteousness was a pretty big deal… remember?! | Matthew 5:20
Our righteousness is not earned by us… | 2 Corinthians 5:21
it is by grace through faith in JESUS! | Romans 3:21-26

Pray!… and GO! | January 13, 2019
Pray!… and GO! | January 13, 2019
When He SAW the crowds…
- How can we see as He saw?
- Don’t think of yourselves more highly than you ought
- Least of the Apostles… to the chief of all sinners…
- Have the attitude of John Bradford
- Have the attitude of Christ Jesus
He had compassion on them…
- We can’t have compassion without humility
- With humility we can bring in a harvest!
- But how do we bring it in?
“The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.”
Matthew 9:37-38
Things to notice about “the harvest”…
- The harvest is plentiful… there is urgency here.
- The workers are few… where are they?
- Does this seem overwhelming?
Pray… and GO!
- “Ask the Lord of the Harvest…” It begins with prayer!
- “to send out workers…” They aren’t out there yet!
- “into his harvest field.” He’s entrusting it to us!
- You may be the worker you are praying for! GO!

Compassion | January 6, 2019
“When He saw the crowds, He had compassion on them…” Matthew 9:36a
All the towns & villages…
- Jesus was on mission
- We are on that same mission
- In Jerusalem
- In all Judea and Samaria
- And to the ends of the earth
He had compassion on them…
- He SAW the crowds
- They were harassed and helpless
- Like sheep without a shepherd
There are other sheep…
- He is the Good Shepherd
- Not of this pen… what pen?
- We all, like sheep, have gone astray…
Do we (still) have compassion?
- Q—What do you feel when you see someone gone astray?
- Q—How would you define “gone astray”?
- Q—Do you know any lost sheep?
- Q—Bad shepherds… have things really changed?
- Q—Where is our mission field?
