Scripture From This Sermon

John 5:30-47

30 “I can do nothing on my own. As I hear, I judge, and my judgment is just, because I seek not my own will but the will of him who sent me. 31 If I alone bear witness about myself, my testimony is not deemed true. 32 There is another who bears witness about me, and I know that the testimony that he bears about me is true. 33 You sent to John, and he has borne witness to the truth. 34 Not that the testimony that I receive is from man, but I say these things so that you may be saved. 35 He was a burning and shining lamp, and you were willing to rejoice for a while in his light. 36 But the testimony that I have is greater than that of John. For the works that the Father has given me to accomplish, the very works that I am doing, bear witness about me that the Father has sent me. 37 And the Father who sent me has himself borne witness about me. His voice you have never heard, his form you have never seen, 38 and you do not have his word abiding in you, for you do not believe the one whom he has sent. 39 You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is they that bear witness about me, 40 yet you refuse to come to me that you may have life. 41 I do not receive glory from people. 42 But I know that you do not have the love of God within you. 43 I have come in my Father's name, and you do not receive me. If another comes in his own name, you will receive him. 44 How can you believe, when you receive glory from one another and do not seek the glory that comes from the only God? 45 Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father. There is one who accuses you: Moses, on whom you have set your hope. 46 For if you believed Moses, you would believe me; for he wrote of me. 47 But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe my words?” (ESV)

Luke 24:27

27 And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he interpreted to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself. (ESV)

John 1:5-9

5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. 7 He came as a witness, to bear witness about the light, that all might believe through him. 8 He was not the light, but came to bear witness about the light.

9 The true light, which enlightens everyone, was coming into the world. (ESV)

Deuteronomy 18:15

15 “The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among you, from your brothers—it is to him you shall listen— (ESV)

Acts 3:22

22 Moses said, ‘The Lord God will raise up for you a prophet like me from your brothers. You shall listen to him in whatever he tells you. (ESV)

Acts 7:37

37 This is the Moses who said to the Israelites, ‘God will raise up for you a prophet like me from your brothers.’ (ESV)

Galatians Study Guides

Week 1: Galatians Overview

The book of Galatians contains some of the most foundational teachings on the Gospel in the whole Bible. Paul goes to great lengths in this short book to prove that salvation is by grace through faith, not as a result of works. He wrote this book in response to inaccurate teaching on the gospel that had infiltrated the churches at Galatia. In order to combat the false doctrine in the Church, Paul had to first expose it and correct it with the truth.

Week 2: Galatians 1:1-10

Now that you have read the entire book of Galatians and gotten a broad view of the book, it is time to begin to step in and look at the details. Remember, the purpose in scripture study is to get to know God and His redemptive plan in Christ, and the desired outcome is transformation. Paul’s words are “… inspired by God” and necessary for your spiritual growth. Pray that God would use them to deepen you in your faith in order that you might be better equipped to follow Him with all of you heart and mind and strength and soul.

James Study Guide

Week 1: James 1:1-11

James ends this section of the letter with an illustration of two types of trials in the form of wealth and poverty. It would be easy for the poor man to fixate on dissatisfaction with his situation, and, he could think that life was going to get better if he only had what he didn’t have. And he doesn’t realize that he’s been made rich in Jesus Christ and that there’s nothing greater that God could give that what He’s already given. But wisdom does what? It leads him, instead of being dissatisfied, to glory in his situation, realizing that he may be poor in the sight of this world, but he is rich in Jesus Christ.

Week 2: James 1:12-18

When you encounter trials don’t think that it’s a stingy God, who doesn’t have your best interests in mind, who is behind that trial. God’s purposes are always good. James says, “Every good gift in this life comes from above, it comes from God.” Every single good that we experience comes from Him, and that controls how we look at our trials and our sufferings. When God calls us to be perfected through suffering in trials, my friends, He is only calling us to go the way of His only begotten Son.
