In Luke 9:51 we have this statement-  he set his face to go to Jerusalem. An older translation says it in the words of Isaiah 50:7, therefore I have set my face like a flint, to go to Jerusalem. From this point on in Luke's narrative Jesus is traveling to Jerusalem with his eyes fixed on what awaits there for him. Interesting this beginning of the travel log of Jesus six month walk occurs soon after his transfiguration. On the mountain with 3 of his closest disciples  as he was praying, the appearance of his face was altered, and his clothing became dazzling white.  And behold, two men were talking with him, Moses and Elijah, who appeared in glory and spoke of his departure, which he was about to accomplish at Jerusalem.

In John's gospel narrative we encounter another repeated phrase. Jesus spoke of his hour which had not come but did come when he entered Jerusalem recorded in John 12:23, the hour has come.
What lay behind these repeated markers?  His eyes where fixed on Jerusalem and there his hour would come.

The life of the Christian in this world is often pictured as spiritual warfare. We are exhorted to fight the good fight of faith and to put on the full armor of God so that we can stand against the devil and his attacks Three pieces are provided as body wear to protect the soldier at all times. So put on the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness and have our feet shod with the gospel of peace..

After Jesus told the story of the Sower or farmer who scattered seed to the crowd His disciples asked him for the meaning of the story. Luke introduced the context in chapter 8 with these words:Jesus traveled about from one town and village to another, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom of God. The Twelve were with him. Jesus tells the story to the crowd without reference to the kingdom. But when the crowd disbands his disciples  asked him the meaning of the story. Mark 4:10 When he was alone, the Twelve and the others around him asked him about the parables.  He told them, “The secret of the kingdom of God has been given to you. But to those on the outside everything is said in parables  so that,

“‘they may be ever seeing but never perceiving,
    and ever hearing but never understanding;
otherwise they might turn and be forgiven!’”
 He then gives the meaning of the story in light of God's elective purposes of grace. Each element is defined- the sower, the seed and the soil but the climax of the story is the abundant harvest from the seed planted in the good soil.

Who is the principle Sower, the associated sowers? 
What is the seed? Primarily and secondarily?
What is the soil in reference to the kingdom of God?

There is more to the story than meets the ear on the first telling! Locked in this simple story are kingdom secrets.

Jesus of Nazareth was and is a master teacher. One of his most effective ways of teaching was the use of parables. Possibly the most famous of them is known as the Parable of the Sower. This episode looks at Mark's account in chapter. As part of the crowd following Jesus that day what lesson would you have received? Most people still only receive this general meaning and application- Pay attention to the lesson or listen to the sermon. What you receive from it is largely dependent on what type of listener you are. In other words, What kind of soil are you?

There is a real personal being of supreme evil known by the titles Devil or Satan. We must be aware of him butChristians are not to live in fear  of him. He is a defeated foe because of Jesus death on the cross descent into hades and glorious resurrection and ascension.
And he said to them, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. Luke 10:18
And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross. Colossians 2:15
 Since therefore the children share in flesh and blood, he himself likewise partook of the same things, that through death he might destroy the one who has the power of death, that is, the devil, Hebrews 2:14

In his letter to the Galatians Paul defends the gospel of God's grace. He had become a Christian only by the sovereign intervention of God in his grace given in the Lord Jesus Messiah. This is the good news he had proclaimed in Galatia that they had embraced. If one comes to faith in Jesus the Savior it is by God's intention - his call and our response of faith.
Beware of those who would preach another or other gospel or teach contrary distorted messages!

Paul writes his letter to the churches in Galatia in defense of the pure gospel he had preached among them. His opening words ,however, are full of good news from God. Before he begins his passionate defense he gives a brief summary of the gospel he had believed and that they had received. We can not effectively defend  the gospel without a clear definition of its content.

On the eighth day after his birth from Mary in Bethlehem Jesus received his name at the time of his circumcision. This name had been chosen by God and conveyed, first to Mary, and later to Joseph by the angel- You shall call his name Jesus  ("Yeshua" in Hebrew) for he will save his people from their sins. Both Jesus' personal identity and his mission or work are in his name: Yeshua (Hebrew) or Jesus (English) means Yahweh is salvation.

 There is One who hears our every word, our conversations with one another. Our words betray our attitudes, our thoughts. God regards with great seriousness what we say about him. The writing of the prophet Malachi forcefully illustrates this truth.

 John's account of the ministry of Jesus of Nazareth is unique in the gospel narratives. It is the last one produced and as an eyewitness to Jesus teachings and actions he selects 7 sign miracles in which Jesus showed his glory as the incarnate Word. He also records 7 I Am statements of Jesus related to the very name of God, Yahweh, I AM THAT I AM.
John uses the psalms, law and prophets to show Jesus as the Promised One, the Messiah. The covenant Lord himself come in the flesh, a true human and true deity. His purpose is clearly stated: John 20:30-31 Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book; 31 but these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.
