True Greatness

Scott Risley

John 12:12-43

Jesus comes to Jerusalem and predicts his death. He was not the king people expected. Despite observing the miraculous signs Jesus performed throughout his ministry, many didn't believe and some were too afraid to admit they did believe. Jesus suffered and died so humanity could have life. His followers are to imitate his example to be truly great.

Jesus on the Cross

Ryan Lowery

Psalms 22:1-22

On the cross, Jesus cried out three things. Jesus demonstrates God's love as he prays for those cursing him in the midst of his suffering. He also quotes Psalm 22 in order to show that things are going exactly according to God's plan. Finally, he proclaims that the work of atonement is finished. We are left with the task of telling others about his sacrifice.

Paul - Sent by Christ

Jeff Gordon

2 Timothy 3:16

Because Paul had received direct revelation from God, the authority of his message came from God. Over Biblical history, God has laid out clear requirements for writings to be considered Biblical canon. Since we know that we have received the true Word of God, we should learn what it says.

The Last Supper

Ryan Lowery

1 Corinthians 11:23-25

As they eat the Passover meal, Jesus gives it a new meaning for his followers. Jesus teaches that he will suffer, and that he will not eat a Passover meal again until the true meaning of passover is fulfilled. The point of communion is to how Jesus broke his body and shed his blood so that we can be reconciled to God, and formed together into a community of love. Unfortunately, Jesus' disciples were too busy thinking about themselves to think about his sacrifice.

End Times Prophecy

Ryan Lowery

Luke 21:5-36

During the Olivet Discourse, Jesus explains a number of eschatological details concerning both the destruction of the temple and his kingdom. He explains that before his return, there will be many false predictions about him during a long period of tumultuous events. He also explains that his followers will be persecuted in the 1st century and the temple will be destroyed. He urges his listeners to persevere in the face of these events. If we can trust the Bible on these issues, we should trust it concerning other areas of God's Will.

Scott Risley

Nehemiah 2:1-8

Scripture and secular historians confirm Jesus is the Christ, the son of God. Four witnesses to Jesus' identity include: 1) John the Baptist; 2) Jesus' works; 3) God's inner voice; and 4) Scripture. A prophecy from Daniel 9 also points to the validity of Jesus' claims. The evidence provided for the dates and events described in the prophecies are undeniable.

4 Witnesses to Christ's Authenticity

Dennis McCallum

Nehemiah 2:1-8

Jesus demonstrates four witnesses that authenticated his authority to his Jewish audience: 1) John the Baptist; 2) the miracles and works God had given Jesus the power to perform amidst the people; 3) inner witness of the Holy Spirit; and 4) the Scriptures that predicted Jesus. Jesus proves here that he has authority given to him by God the Father and we as Christians today should listen to him because of his authority.

The Triumphal Entry

Ryan Lowery

Zechariah 9:9-10

Though Jesus is the promised Messiah, he rides into Jerusalem humbly on a donkey. God is trying to say both that He is not like us, and also that peace and love are spread by a show of restraint and humility, not by power. Jesus came not to conquer Rome, but to pay the penalty of sin on the cross. We should seek to understand this incredible victory as we prepare our friends and family for his next coming.
