Classic Christianity – A Closer Look at Faith, Hope & Love P2 (04-21-20)

Synopsis

So these three remain; faith, hope and love, but the greatest of these is love. Although we cannot produce love, in Christ we have been given the privilege to participate in the divine nature. We participate in the divine nature by abiding in Christ, trusting him to do through us what we could never do, as Jesus explained to us in John 15. So this love is to reach out to people, to share the message of Christ, to serve in the spiritual gifts God has given us, to serve the body, to give a cup of water in the name of Christ, and any of those things God has led us to do by the Spirit He has given us.

We have been made a new creation in Christ, so this labor is prompted by the love of God that has been poured into our hearts, imploring every man to be made complete in Christ. We have this hope in us, this promise of God, that when we are absent from the body, we are present with the Lord. This life is temporary, so our eyes are fixed on Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith.… Click to Read More And Follow Along With The Message

Classic Christianity – A Closer Look at Faith, Hope & Love P1 (04-20-20)

Synopsis

Listen as Bob George shares a message on faith, hope and love. Have you ever noticed that whenever you read about love, you will see it together with faith and hope. Just like the Trinity, Father, Son and holy Spirit, it is there as a triplicate. What comes to mind when you think about love? Is it something we can produce in the energy of our flesh? No. Why do you suppose faith and hope in Christ Jesus is so vital to even love one another as Christ loved you? We love because He first loved us.

God is the initiator. We are the responder. He initiated His love to us when He sent His Son to do something for us that we could not even do for ourselves. We were born spiritually dead, without hope and without the love of God in our hearts. Have you ever noticed that a dead person cannot raise himself from the dead? That is how we were born. How then are we to respond?

Did you know that sin is what caused our death? As long as we are under the law of sin and death, that whenever you should sin again, you shall die.… Click to Read More And Follow Along With The Message

Classic Christianity – Jesus His Final Hours P5 (04-17-20)

Synopsis

Your Sins Are Forgiven!

As you read or listen about the details of his death and his resurrection, of Mary at the tomb, of the garden there watered by a natural spring, of a large stone over the entrance, guarded by Roman soldiers, of sixty pounds of material placed on the body of Jesus, and then the stone was rolled away all by itself, and then Jesus appearing first to Mary, then to the disciples and then to Thomas, and then to over five hundred people. We, today, have not seen him physically, but blessed are those who have not seen yet believe.

We believe based on testimony. If you were to investigate that scene, like a crime scene investigator, what would you discover? What circumstantial evidence would you find that is beyond a reasonable doubt that Jesus is who he says he is, God in the flesh? The greatest miracle is the creation of the universe, and we have evidence for that. But the one thing that should convince anyone to put their trust in Jesus, of who he claimed to be, and of what he said he did for you and me, is the resurrection from the dead, the empty tomb.… Click to Read More And Follow Along With The Message

Classic Christianity – Jesus His Final Hours P4 (04-16-20)

Synopsis

As you ponder over all that Jesus was willing to go through, to be spit on, mocked, with a crown of thorns on his head, marred beyond recognition, being dragged from city to city, beaten and flogged. He was hated by all men for one reason. He told the truth about the condition of the hearts of all men. What kinds of thoughts go through your mind?

I sure hope you do not have the attitude of the religious Jews, who would rather defend their traditions and their interpretation of scripture than to show mercy, grace, love and kindness. Religion makes you mean. So you see the hypocrisy and stupidity of religion, that it is all based on outward performance, with no thought at all for mercy, love, kindness and forgiveness. You cannot stand anyone pointing out the condition of your heart. All of us are like that to some degree. Did you know that a righteous man loves rebuke? Now that sure goes against the natural way a man thinks. So why is that true?

Jesus came to expose the hearts of all men. Why? If we do not see our own sinfulness in light of his perfect holiness, would we ever appreciate the value of Jesus death on a cross.… Click to Read More And Follow Along With The Message

Classic Christianity – Jesus His Final Hours P3 (04-15-20)

Synopsis

It is unbelievable how unrighteous all of us are! We tend to focus on how hypocritical the Pharisees and religious leaders were, when we look into the details of how Jesus was sent to Herod and appeared before Pilate, with the beating and the mocking, and the political games played out. But do we see our own actions? Do we see the attitudes of our own heart? What does religion do to us? Does it not make us proud, to think I can do these certain things, that I can tithe, I can go church, have my quiet time, and go to visitation. Then, what do people do when they see others not doing what they are doing? Are they not mean as hornets? So we tend to make a mental list of the laws we think we can keep, and ignore the rest. Yet, do we realize our own unrighteousness that we might seek a savior? For those in Christ Jesus, we truly know all praise belongs to God through His Son Jesus Christ, in whom we have been imputed His righteousness.

Here is Pilate, knowing that they wanted Jesus killed for personal reasons, looking for an alternative so Jesus would not be executed, but he had a weakness.… Click to Read More And Follow Along With The Message

Classic Christianity – Jesus His Final Hours P2 (04-14-20)

Synopsis

Let us zoom in on what transpired that night that Jesus knew he was going to be betrayed into the hands of men. Here is Jesus, praying alone to His Father. His disciples could not stay awake for one hour. Jesus knew that, having told them previously that every one of them will be scattered. Yet he would say, “I am not alone for God is with me.” Do you sometimes feel the weight of the world is on your shoulders? I think of our current president, when I ponder over what he has to face every day he goes to work.

But Jesus bore this weight alone. Jesus is agonizing over what he must do for our sake, the lives of all men who ever walked the face of the earth. The punishment required for sin is death, and that punishment must be paid, but no man can pay it. No man is without sin except Jesus. The only man who had a life to lay down is Jesus so that the just requirements of the law could be fulfilled in us. Yet, to become sin for us is very agonizing.… Click to Read More And Follow Along With The Message
