    The Heart Of Truth Series

    Contributed by Brad Bailey on Oct 8, 2010
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,871 views

    Truth is not only a matter of the head, embracing truth through our rational abilities, but also through the disposition of our inward choice.

    Intro – The Heart of Truth Let me begin by asking a question… is truth a matter of the head or the heart? Do we embrace truth through the deduction of our rational abilities… or through the disposition of our inward choice? This is an issue that Jesus is going to challenge us with ...read more

    You might want to look up the word 'sycophant' in a dictionary. It well describes Jesus' opponents in this passage

    Jesus and the Sycophants John 5:31-47 Introduction Last week we talked about the heated discussion that erupted between The Jews who were angry that Jesus had healed and done other work on the Sabbath and Jesus. The Jews got further enraged when Jesus answered them in a way in which He had ...read more

    The Validity Of Jesus

    The Jews had a problem with Jesus healing the cripple by the pool on the Sabbath. Jesus used the opportunity to try to show them that he was the real deal; and quite frankly-they were not.

    THE VALIDITY OF JESUS John 5:16-47 1) Like Father, like Son (vs. 16-30). • Jesus is equal to the Father (vs. 16-18). Vs. 16-17-God created in six days and rested on the seventh.

    Why didn’t Jesus heal everybody at the pool of Bethesda? Why just one paralytic?

    The Witness Of Scriptures Series

    Contributed by Dennis Davidson on Jun 9, 2008
    based on 54 ratings
     | 30,291 views

    Openness to God precedes the reception of Scripture truth. We are not to guide Scriptures, they are to guide us...to God. We are not to make Scriptures say what we think or want them to say, but let them say what God desires to reveal.

    JOHN 5: 39-47 THE WITNESS OF THE SCRIPTURES [Luke 24: 25-27, 44-49 / Luke 16: 19-31] The previous passage tried to teach us that openness to belief must precede the reception of truth. Now John affirms that openness to God precedes the reception ...read more

Let’s pray together: Father in Heaven, we have come here today hoping to meet with You, longing to be in Your presence, desiring to hear from You. “As the ...read more

    What is the main teaching of the Bible? What is the main thing we ought to be conveying? "Jesus Christ and Him crucified."

    Father in heaven, at your right hand are eternal pleasures, and in your presence is fullness of joy. Help us now as we look into your Word to remain in Your presence.

    Effective Christianity

    Why is Christianity in America declining? Why are professions of faith and baptisms on the decline. Christianity is not a religion but a relationship. Church is not a place we go or something we do it is God's people doing His will.

    I have a very serious question to start us off with this morning. Why is Christianity on the decline here in America? I am sure there are probably as many answers as there are people. • Could it be because Christianity is competing with so many other religions? • Could it be because ...read more
