JESUS MINUTE

If you are looking for Jesus, where would you expect to find Him?  The last place I would look would be in the Temple or the Synagogue. Jesus only performed 3 miracles within the 4 holy walls of a holy building. He did His best work out in the community!

The church of Jesus covers the entire world, yet the church of Jesus is hidden and limited in by locations and buildings. Instead going to church, how about ‘being the church’?

One of the most radical teachings and practices of Jesus...the essence of the Jesus movement!

Jesus’ teachings are not about filling your mind with the proper stuff! His teachings are all about action and making a difference. What you learn from Jesus is how to activate your life. Faith is a verb or love is a verb! Your life as a follower of Jesus is a verb, once you’re activated!

Part II continues through the movements of God wanting to get down here to earth to dwell among His people.

This is one of the most popular myths of all! Contrary to the most popular and public opinion, Jesus did not come down to earth to take us to heaven!

Jesus sets the record straight on the role of the Scriptures with respect to Jesus. The Scriptures cannot give you eternal life. The Scriptures speak of Jesus as the One Who has eternal life.

This is one of those subtle ideas that most Christians have embraced, yet there is no good reason for it. This is especially true, when you observe the early disciples and their experience with Jesus. They didn’t initially believe Jesus was the Son of God and then in their act of following along with Jesus, it was revealed to them.

This is the most disappointing myth that keeps so many people away from knowing Jesus in a personal way.

This may be one of the most popular myths of all! There’s a universal teaching among Christians and most religions that ‘we are right and our responsibility is to sell everyone else on our righteous position.’ This leads to the practice of conversion. What’s most interesting is that Jesus never taught ‘conversion’ and those who practice ‘conversion tactics’ have turned off the world.
