Thank you for listening as Pastor Jeremy begins a new series on Wednesday in Glendive.
John 14:12 “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who
believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and
greater works than these he will do, because I go to My
Father.
● Jesus isn’t talking to apostles here.
● Jesus isn’t talking to prophets here...etc.
● Jesus is talking to believers.
● We are to duplicate the ministry of Jesus
● Can’t duplicate something you know nothing
about
● Is hard to duplicate something unless you have a
pattern to follow.
● Assembling bookcases & furniture.
● New cars off the assembly line followed a pattern
called a “prototype”.
● Jesus is our “prototype”
● Phil 2:5 Let this mind be in you which was also in
Christ Jesus, 6 who, being in the form of God, did
not consider it robbery to be equal with God, 7 but
made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of
a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men.
8 And being found in appearance as a man, He
humbled Himself and became obedient to the
point of death, even the death of the cross. 9
Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and
given Him the name which is above every name,
10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should
bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth,
and of those under the earth, 11 and that every
tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to
the glory of God the Father.
● Matt 4:23 And Jesus went about all Galilee,
teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel
of the kingdom, and healing all kinds of sickness
and all kinds of disease among the people.
● Matt 9:35 Then Jesus went about all the cities and
villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching
the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every
sickness and every disease among the people.
● His pattern seems to be teaching, preaching, &
healing
● Matt 10:5 These twelve Jesus sent out and
commanded them, saying: “Do not go into the way
of the Gentiles, and do not enter a city of the
Samaritans. 6 But go rather to the lost sheep of
the house of Israel. 7 And as you go, preach,
saying, ‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand.’ 8 Heal
the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast
out demons.
● We are to duplicate the ministry of Jesus
