Jesus’s Ministry in Capernaum

November 26, 2023 AM, Luke 4:31-44.Our Scripture reading was Esther 4:1ff
The more directly applicable part of this section is about Jesus’s teaching. 'I must preach the kingdom of God to the other cities also' Since He had to, we have to. As I have said oft before, we
may not have all the same details he had, like the kingdom is immediately at hand. But we do have the same basic idea—unless one is born again by repentant faith, that one will not enter, experience, or enjoy the kingdom of God when it comes in the future. Jesus has 'all authority in heaven and on earth' (Matt. 28:19). He has delegated some of that to His church to carry on His work.

Ministry in Nazareth Part 2

November 19, 2023 AM, Luke 4:14-30.Our Scripture reading was Esther 3:1ff
Check yourself. If you are getting hot under the collar right now because I told you that God views you as a sinner, then you are responding just like the hard-hearted audience of this passage. If you are angry at the messenger, what that really means is that you are rejecting God — because I am just recounting what Scripture says, and Scripture is God’s word, not mine. Please do not repeat the same error of these unbelieving synagogue goers. They were not very religious after all, were they? We know because they wanted to murder a man!

Saul’s Conversion to Follow Jesus Christ

November 15, 2023 PM, Acts 9:1-19.A real change was wrought in Saul’s heart. It was clear from the getgo that he was entirely transformed. God chose Saul. If you are a Christ-follower, God chose you too, before you knew it, and He purposed to transform you like He did Saul. He also purposed to have you do good works for Him (Eph. 2:10). We are indeed chosen to be forgiven, and chosen to serve Him. Will you be like Saul and say, 'I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision!' (Acts 26:19)?
