QUESTIONS JESUS ASKED (Part 3) • "Why Do You Call Me Lord, Lord…?" • Bob Valles

This Series: Earlier this year we looked at questions God asked in the Old Testament. To finish out this summer, we will look at 4 penetrating questions that Jesus asked in the New Testament – questions that apply to us today.

This Week: Words mean things. The meaning of Lord is: 1. a title of honor expressive of respect and reverence; 2. To whom a person belongs about which he has power of deciding; 3. one who has control. Given the weight behind its meaning, to call Jesus your Lord and then not obey what he says is a slap to his face. Ouch!

 

Key Phrase: “Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and not do what I say?” Luke 6:46

This Week: Many believers are just like the disciples of Jesus – fearful and worrisome. Would Jesus look you in the eye and ask you this question?

QUESTIONS JESUS ASKED (Part 1) • "What about the plank in your eye?" • Barry Bandara

This Series:

Earlier this year we looked at questions God asked in the Old Testament. To finish out this summer, we will look at 4 penetrating questions that Jesus asked in the New Testament – questions that apply to us today.

 

This Week:

It is incredibly easy to find fault in those around us. On the flip side, it is so difficult to see our own faults. If we are honest, this question hits all of us squarely in the heart.

 

Key Phrase: “First take the plank out of your own eye.” Matthew 7:5

JUICY (Part 9) • Self-Control • Barry Bandara

This Series:

We all get squeezed by life, whether it’s an irritating driver, co-worker, neighbor, or anyone else who gets on our nerves. We all face frustrating life events such as car problems, unexpected bills, unmet expectations, or an end of a relationship. When we get squeezed by life, something WILL come out of us. It will either sweet or it will be sour. What comes out depends on how close we are walking with the Spirit.

 

This Week:

Someone will little-to-no self-control is still a child. Self-control is a sign of maturity. A lack of self-control is embarrassing while one with self-control is respectable. This fruit of the Spirit is greatly needed today. Following the Spirit of God will help us make wise choices with the emotions we feel and the words that we want to share.

 

Key Phrase: “The fruit of the Spirit is… self-control.” Galatians 5:23
