Four Witnesses to Jesus' Authority

Scott Risley

Nehemiah 2:1-8

Scripture and secular historians confirm Jesus is the Christ, the son of God. Four witnesses to Jesus' identity include: 1) John the Baptist; 2) Jesus' works; 3) God's inner voice; and 4) Scripture. A prophecy from Daniel 9 also points to the validity of Jesus' claims. The evidence provided for the dates and events described in the prophecies are undeniable.

He calls on four witnesses to testify about the truthfulness of this claim: 1) John the Baptist, 2) miraculous works, 3) the Holy Spirit, and 4) Old Testament scriptures. The prophecy in Daniel 9 is discussed as an example of the Old Testament validating Jesus as the promised Messiah.

Two Toxic Mentalities

Scott Risley

John 5:1-26

Two toxic mentalities are revealed through Jesus' miracle of healing a lame man: the victim mentality and the religious mentality. These mentalities are incompatible with real faith and keep people from believing. Jesus asks two questions as he interacts with the lame man and the Jewish leaders: 1) Do you want to get well; and 2) Are you willing to believe?

The Pool of Bethesda

Dennis McCallum

John 5:1-24

Jesus is in Jerusalem when he runs into a man who has been sick for 38 years. Jesus performs a miracle on the Sabbath and heals the man, who begins to walk again. Jesus performed this miracle to combat the religious mentality and to highlight the desire God has to heal broken lives. Jesus also discusses the authority God has given him to grant eternal life to those who believe in him. God cares more about the heart than outward dedication and wants people to inherit eternal life through Jesus.

Satisfying Our Inner Thirst

Conrad Hilario

John 4:1-42

The Samaritan woman at the well talks to Jesus and is amazed by all that he knows about her. Her status in the culture at the time does not define how Jesus sees her and chooses to interact with her. She learns that God is the only one who can satisfy our deepest needs. She is quick to want to tell others about her experience; God can and will use anyone who is willing to share His good news.

The Woman at the Well

Scott Risley

John 4:1-42

Jesus breaks tradition by asking a despised Samaritan woman at Jacob's well for a drink of water. Knowing all about her, he offers her living water, exposes her sordid past, answers her theological questions and reveals his true identity. When she realizes he is the Messiah, she leaves her water jar behind, runs back to the city to tell everyone about Jesus, and many Samaritans come to faith because of her testimony. There is great joy in God working through you to impact others for Him!

Glory

Lee Campbell

John 17:1-23

Jesus' purpose was to display God's glory through his life on earth. We desire glory for ourselves and often put others down because we think that is how we will experience glory. If we act in love as God designed us we can truly experience glory through God. This teaching features a recording of Steve Harvey introducing Jesus.

In the World but Not of the World

Ryan Weingartner

1 Corinthians 9:19-22

The last thing Jesus prays for his followers before he was crucified was to be in the world, but not of the world. How do followers of Jesus do this? By displaying Jesus' love to the watching work, Christians are able to stand out as distinct from Satan's world system. Followers of Jesus are distinct in the areas the Bible emphasizes and in pursuing the eternal things rather than temporary things of this world.

A Life Worth Living

Ryan Lowery

Luke 12:13-34

Our culture has many definitions of a full life, but God as creator has radically challenging things to say on the subject. In many cases, the pursuit of material things can get in the way of love relationships. The problem with materialism is that it can never satisfy, because God has designed us for love. Being rich toward God means living a true, full, and meaningful life from an eternal perspective.
