The 12 Apostles and the World’s Biggest Ball of Yarn – Mark 3:13-21
Some passages are hard to understand. The second part of Mark 3:13-21 is hard to understand. The first part of this message is about God choosing people he knows fully. We are never a draft bust for him. The second half is me trying to explain a hard passage about Jesus’ family. Hope you enjoy.…
Who’s in Charge of Your Ministry? Matthew 11:25-27
Sometimes ministry gets really hard… Rejection can take a toll on you. Jesus had just experienced massive rejection in region of Galilee. He deals with it the best way anyone can… he confirms his perspective. Jesus knows that all things are in the Father’s control. Likewise, it is not up to us how to people…
Responsibility and Condemnation – Matthew 11 & Luke 10
Jesus talks about how people who don’t want to believe will find any reason to dismiss God… Matthew 11:16-24: 16 “To what can I compare this generation? They are like children sitting in the marketplaces and calling out to others: 17 “‘We played the pipe for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge, and…
The Resurrection
Last week we didn’t cover the life of Jesus in order. Instead, we celebrated the Resurrection and watched 10 very well-done, short videos concerning popular myths of Jesus’ Resurrection. They are developed by Credo House Ministries. These videos are teasers for a larger video curriculum called The Case for the Resurrection of Jesus. It can be…
Doubting Jesus’ Methods Matthew 11:7-15
Matthew 11:7-15 7 As John’s disciples were leaving, Jesus began to speak to the crowd about John: “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed swayed by the wind? 8 If not, what did you go out to see? A man dressed in fine clothes? No, those who wear fine clothes…
Don’t Be a Baby Matthew 11:1-6
Even John the Baptist questioned Jesus’ plan as the Messiah. After he had heard the voice of God and seen the Spirit come on Jesus like a dove (whatever that means) he still questioned the plan when it didn’t fit his expectations. Sometimes we throw a fit when we don’t get our way. We act…
Receiving Others, Receiving Blessing Matthew 9:40-42
This lesson was discussion based. During this time we talked a lot about how we can receive others in a way that means we will share in the reward. Hope you enjoy. http://media.blubrry.com/aarongiesler/p/www.website.com/path/to/media.mp3/aarongiesler.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/120318_0026.mp3Podcast: Play in new window | Download | Embed
The Promise of Suffering
After Jesus sends out his disciples in Matthew 10, he promises them suffering. Believers will suffer because we are aligned with Jesus. Not matter what, Jesus tells us that any suffering we experience will be working. http://media.blubrry.com/aarongiesler/p/www.website.com/path/to/media.mp3/aarongiesler.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/120226_0023.mp3Podcast: Play in new window | Download | Embed
Is The Gospel A Virus? Pt. 2
I’m still thinking, studying, and praying about what I think about this question posed in an earlier blog. But, my friend from, Arturo Hernandez, seminary wrote about it in an interesting way. “I would say that the natural man is immune to the gospel message by the inoculation of sin and cannot come to saving faith without…
