    “Jesus at his core - Part 2”, Matt 4.23-25

    “Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness among the people. News about him spread all over Syria, and people brought to him all who were ill with various diseases, those suffering severe pain, the demon-possessed, those having seizures, and the paralysed; and he healed them. Large crowds from Galilee, the Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea and the region across the Jordan followed him.” (Matthew 4:23–25 NIV11)
    1. Jesus the Proclaimer, v23
    Acts 10.38

    A. Teaching

    B. Proclaiming
    “God’s kingdom — God’s sovereign, saving rule — was at last being unleashed upon Israel and the world, through him. How could this not bring healing in its wake?" Wright, N. T. Matthew for Everyone Part 1

    C. Healing: Isaiah 35.5-6.
    This is what it looks like when Jesus takes over the world.

    2. Jesus the Healer, v24

    A. News spreads

    B. People bring those in need to Jesus

    QUESTION: “How can we bring ‘healing’ to people today?”
    What opportunities can we see?
    What methods can we use?

    What authenticates us?

    Activities of Jesus and his followers:
    • Preached (engaging the will, disturbed the status quo)
    • Called (engaging the life, disturbing priorities)
    • Taught (engaging the mind, disturbed preconceived ideas)
    • Healed (engaging the need, disturbing the hold of the devil over creation)

    • Pray to be alert to when you can engage in these……

    • 34: "Grateful for old friends", Newsletter 22 February 2020
      Grateful for old friends

      Are you grateful for your friends? I'm especially grateful for my friends Akin & Lolu.  Our birthdays fall within a week or so of each other. Over the years we've regularly had a birthday meal together. 

      This year Akin invited me and Lolu to a delightful Turkish restaurant in Eastcote. Time flew by as we reminisced over the 30+ years of our friendships and caught up on family, work, life and all things spiritual.

      I left energised and, frankly, unable to sleep for a while that night. Even though it was late. The lack of sleep was for a good reason. I was reflecting on how lucky I am and how grateful I am to God for giving me good friends - friends that last.

      My favourite verse about friendship is in Proverbs:

      “One who has unreliable friends soon comes to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.” (Proverbs 18:24 NIV11)This week I pose a simple question: "In which friendships are you investing such that, in a year or a decade's time, you would be grateful that you did so?"

      I hope that this week's podcasts, videos and other materials help you to build deeper friendships with people around you and God himself.

      Prayer requests

      • Please pray for me as I prepare the materials for the Watford teaching day which takes place on 29 February. 
      • I am attending the "Conversations" teachers conference in San Antonio in early March. Please pray that I learn what God wants me to learn, and build spiritual friendships which will support and refine me for the work God has called me to. I will post daily updates while I'm there (Wi-Fi permitting) and a full report on the conference when I'm back.

      • Thank you for reading this far, and encouraging me in my endeavours to support our times of quiet with God, our corporate worship experiences, and the effectiveness of our preaching and teaching. I hope my uploads will help you to build stronger friendships with other people and with God.

        If you know anyone who might enjoy these materials, please send them a link to my website and encourage them to sign up for this newsletter.

        God bless, Malcolm

      • “Kingdom Come”: Matthew 7.13-23, Sermon on the Mount Series
        “Kingdom Come”
        Sermon on the Mount Series: Fourteenth Lesson, Matthew 7.13-23

        Two Ways
        Learning Objectives - motivation to:
        1. Stay on the right road
        2. Stay alert
        3. Stay sincere

        4. Introduction
          • QUESTION: Highlights so far?
          • Contrast with Matt 7.12. What that does not look like.
          • An anti-postmodernism section par excellence!

          • 1. Two Ways
            • Choice: Jer. 21:8
            • The gates: ’stene (“narrow,” v13) and tethlimmene (v14), “tribulation”, Matt 5:10-12, 44; 10:16-39; 11:11-12; 24:4-13.”
            • Leads to life - the hearers have not entered yet. They must make a choice.
            • Many / Few: Luke 13:22-30 / Rev 7:9
            • Find it: Ties in with Matt 7.7-8.
            • Warning - when you see a wide gate, reject it and search for a narrow one.
            • Life: It’s Jesus! Jn 10.9. Find him and you find the gate - and life.
            • QUESTION: How can we recognise when we are ‘going with the flow’?

              2. Two Trees 
              • Didn’t take long:  2 Peter 2:1; 1 John 4:1–3; Revelation 2:20.
              • Wolves: Acts 20.29-30. 
              • QUESTION: How can we recognise the wolves?
                1. Bad…………….
                2. False………………..
                3. Unhealthy……………….
                  • Jesus: Jn 10.11-13.
                  • Not a doctrinal but an ethical test.

                  • 3. Two Claims
                    A. Claims to be a disciple
                    • Calling him “Lord’ - kyrios 
                      • Know but refuse - Matt 19.16-30
                    •  
                      • On their terms - Matt 8.18-22
                    •  
                    • Key issue - “only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.” Matthew 7,21

                    • B. Charismatic activity
                      • Jesus is welcoming of anyone on his ‘side’ (Mark 9.39-41), but anyone claiming a relationship with him must do so with respect. Acts 19.11-20!
                      • “What you really mean, Jesus is …………..”
                      • QUESTION: How could this warning apply to us?

                        Conclusion
                        • Two Fridays’ time sharing about what been helpful etc.
                        • Discuss with friends and bring something to share if you like in 2 weeks’ time
