JAKE STIMPSON | JESUS | TOUGH VERSES | HEAR AND DO | FAITH | PRAYER | ASK | RECEIVE
A number of times in the New Testament, Jesus gave the disciples a remarkable promise that whatever they ask, He would do for them, even if they asked Him to move a mountain. Was He serious? Did He really mean that?
JAKE STIMPSON | JESUS | TOUGH VERSES | HEAR AND DO | DECEIVED | FRIENDS | LOVE
Jesus told His disciples that He no longer called them slaves but friends. Despite what we tend to think, being a good slave and being a good friend are very similar in outward actions. But what are the crucial differences? Friends know the master’s heart, with friends there is a mutual surrender, and friends are motivated to serve out of love, not obligation.
NOTE: There was a problem with the audio and video recording, but you can download the teaching notes below.
JAKE STIMPSON | JESUS | TOUGH VERSES | HEAR AND DO | DECEIVED | SERVANT | SLAVE | SERVING
One of the most difficult things Jesus ever said is in Matthew 20:27-28 – “Whoever would be great among you must be your servant, and whoever would be first among you must be your slave, even as the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” What did He mean? Is He serious that we have to lay our lives down for each other as servants, even slaves?
JAKE STIMPSON | JESUS | TOUGH VERSES | HEAR AND DO | DECEIVED | DOERS | LUKE 10 | MARY AND MARTHA
When Jesus stopped at Martha and Mary’s house, Martha was busy and distracted with serving, but Mary was sitting at His feet listening. When Martha got on Jesus’ case and demanded He make her sister help her out, Jesus told her, “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things, but one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the good portion, which will not be taken away from her.” There are so many things you could do and spend your time and energy on, but one thing is needed, to sit before Jesus and receive from Him. How are you doing on that one most important thing?
BRIAN SHULER | COST OF DISCIPLESHIP | JOHN 6 | EAT MY FLESH | HARD SAYINGS
Jesus said some difficult things. At one point, He used a harsh metaphor to talk about how we need to cling closely to Him and receive His life in us. When the people heard it, they responded, “This statement is very unpleasant; who can listen to it?” Many that day left Him. Turning then to His disciples, Jesus asked them whether they, too, would leave. Peter’s response was classic: “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have words of eternal life.” This is a question for all of us. When Jesus asks for something hard, do you stick with Him like Peter or do you leave like the crowd?
