Lure them back to me... - Sand

Let’s start with - are you called?

Matt 4:19 & Mark 1:17 ESV 19 And he said to them (Brothers, Simon & Andrew), “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.”

Luke 5:10b ESV And Jesus said to Simon, “Do not be afraid; from now on you will be catching men.

Mark 15:40-41 ESV (Witnesses to Jesus dying on the cross)

40 There were also women looking on from a distance, among whom were Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the younger and of Joses, and Salome. 41 When he was in Galilee, they followed him and ministered to him, and there were also many other women who came up with him to Jerusalem.

Luke 8:3 AMPC 3 And Joanna, the wife of Chuza, Herod’s household manager; and Susanna; and many others, who ministered to and provided for Him and them out of their property and personal belongings.

How do you represent Jesus?

Ephesians 5:8 ESV 8 For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light

Ephesians 5:1-2 ESV 5 Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children.2 And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.

1 John 4:8 ESV 8 Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love.

Matthew 12:34 NKJV 34 Brood(offspring AMPC) of vipers! How can you, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks

Matthew 13:15 ESV For this people's heart has grown dull, and with their ears they can barely hear, and their eyes they have closed, lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears and understand with their heart and turn, and I would heal them.’

What does it look like to actively serve Jesus?

Mark 16:15-18 ESV 15 And he said to them, “Go into all the world and proclaim (preach NKJV) the gospel to the whole creation.16 Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.17 And these signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will cast out demons; they will speak in new tongues;18 they will pick up serpents with their hands; and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them; they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will recover.

MARK 11:23 ESV 23 Truly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea,’and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will come to pass, it will be done for him.

Planting the seed…

Mark 4:14 ESV 14 The sower sows the Word.

John 10:10 NKJV 10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.

Colossians 3:8 NKJV 8 But now you yourselves are to put off all these: anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy language out of your mouth.

Repentance

2 Corinthians 7:10 ESV 10 For godly grief produces a repentance that leads to salvation without regret, whereas worldly grief produces death.

Why does Jesus want everyone saved?

Because He want them to go to Heaven

Romans 6:22-23 AMPC 22 But now since you have been set free from sin and have become the slaves of God, you have your present reward in holiness and its end is eternal life. 23 For the wages which sin pays is death, but the [bountiful] free gift of God is eternal life through (in union with) Jesus Christ our Lord.

Reaping the harvest..

John 4:36 ESV 36 Already the one who reaps is receiving wages and gathering fruit for eternal life, so that sower and reaper may rejoice together

What does the harvest look like?

Luke 10:2 ESV 2 And he said to them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.

1 John 4:15 ESV 15 Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.

Communion - Sandy 

1 Corinthians 1:9  9 God is faithful (reliable, trustworthy, and therefore ever true to His promise, and He can be depended on); by Him you were called into companionship and participation with His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

1 Corinthians 10:21 ESV 21 You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons. You cannot partake of the table of the Lord and the table of demons.

1Corinthians 11:27 AMPC 27 So then whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in a way that is unworthy [of Him] will be guilty of [profaning and sinning against] the body and blood of the Lord.

1 Corinthians 11:28-31 AMPC 28 Let a man [thoroughly] examine himself, and [only when he has done] so should he eat of the bread and drink of the cup.29 For anyone who eats and drinks without discriminating and recognizing with due appreciation that [it is Christ’s] body, eats and drinks a sentence (a verdict of judgment) upon himself.30 That [careless and unworthy participation] is the reason many of you are weak and sickly, and quite enough of you have fallen into the sleep of death. 31 For if we searchingly examined ourselves [detecting our shortcomings and recognizing our own condition], we should not be judged and penalty decreed [by the divine judgment].

1 Corinthians 10:16 16 The cup of blessing that we bless, is it not a participation in the blood of Christ? The bread that we break, is it not a participation in the body of Christ?

1 Corinthians 11:26 ESV 26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes

1Corinthians 11:23-24 ESV 23 For I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took bread,24 and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, “This is my body, which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.”

1 Corinthians 11:25 25 In the same way also he took the cup, after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.”

2 Corinthians 13:14 NKJV 14 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen.

“The God of the Old Testament” – part 2

Recap on Part 1

• For I the LORD do not change; therefore you, O children of Jacob, are not consumed. Mal 3:6 ESV (see also James 1:17, Ps 102:25-27, Ps 90:2)

• Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne; Mercy and truth go before Your face. Ps 89:14 NKJV AMPC - mercy and loving-kindness and truth go before Your face.

• Oh give thanks to the LORD, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever! Psalm 106:1 ESV (repeated 11 times throughout Psalms, Chronicles, Ezra and Jeremaiah).

• When God speaks for Himself - (see also Romans 9:14-15, Exodus 33:15-23)

Exodus 34:5-8 - “The LORD, the LORD God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abounding in goodness and truth, 7keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, by no means clearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children and the children’s children to the third and the fourth generation.”

AMPC - mercy and loving-kindness and truth go before Your face. Sample Old Testament – New Testament tie in:

Ezekiel 33:11 ESV - As I live, declares the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from his way and live

2 Peter 3:9 ESV - The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance.

If all these things are true (and they are), why does the way God dealt with humanity in the Old Testament look so different to how He deals with the world in the New Testament?

Prior to Christ, people throughout the

Purpose - Sandy

Romans 8:28 ESV 28 And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to His purpose

Revelation 21:2-3 ESV 2 And I (John) saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling placeof God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God.

Ephesians 1:10 ESV 10 as a plan for the fullness of time, to unite all things in him, things in heaven and things on earth.

Genesis 25:23 ESV 23 And the Lord said to her, “Two nations are in your womb, and two peoples from within youshall be divided; the one shall be stronger than the other, the older shall serve the younger.”

Ephesians 1:9 ESV 9 making knownto us the mystery of his will, according to his purpose, which he set forth in Christ

Ephesians 3:11 NKJV 11 according to the eternal purpose which He accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord,

Ephesians 1:11 NKJV 11 In Him also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His will,

 John 10:28-29 28 And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand.29 My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father’s hand.

2 Timothy 1:8-10 NKJV 8 Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me His prisoner, but share with me in the sufferings for the gospel according to the power of God, 9 who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was given to us in Christ Jesus before time began, 10 but has now been revealed by the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ, who has abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel,

2 Timothy 3:10 ESV 10 You, however, have followed my teaching, my conduct, my aim in life, my faith, my patience, my love, my steadfastness,

Hebrews 4:12 12 For the Word that God speaks is alive and full of power [making it active, operative, energizing, and effective]; it is sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating to the dividing line of the breath of life (soul) and [the immortal] spirit, and of joints and marrow [of the deepest parts of our nature], exposing and sifting and analyzing and judging the very thoughts and purposes of the heart.

You are called to heal - Sandy

2 Chronicles 16:12 ESV 12 In the thirty-ninth year of his reign Asa was diseased in his feet, and his disease became severe. Yet even in his disease he did not seek the Lord but sought help from physicians

Mark 16:17 ESV 17 And these signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will cast out demons; they will speak in new tongues;

Mark 16:15 15 And he said to them, “Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation. 16 Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.

Isaiah 53:5 5 But He was woundedfor our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed

Mark 9:38-41 NKJV 38 Now John answered Him, saying, “Teacher, we saw someone who does not follow us casting out demons in Your name, and we forbade him because he does not follow us.” 39 But Jesus said, “Do not forbid him, for no one who works a miracle in My name can soon afterward speak evil of Me. 40 For he who is not against us is on our side.41 For whoever gives you a cup of water to drink in My name, because you belong to Christ, assuredly, I say to you, he will by no means lose his reward.

Luke 7:2-10 ESV 2 Now a centurion had a servant who was sick and at the point of death, who was highly valued by him. 3 When the centurion heard about Jesus, he sent to him elders of the Jews, asking him to come and heal his servant. 4 And when they came to Jesus, they pleaded with him earnestly, saying, “He is worthy to have you do this for him, 5 for he loves our nation, and he is the one who built us our synagogue.”6 And Jesus went with them. When he was not far from the house, the centurion sent friends, saying to him, “Lord, do not trouble yourself, for I am not worthy to have you come under my roof. 7 Therefore I did not presume to come to you. But say the word, and let my servant be healed. 8 For I too am a man set under authority, with soldiers under me: and I say to one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes; and to my servant, ‘Do this,’and he does it.” 9 When Jesus heard these things, he marveled at him, and turning to the crowd that followed him, said, “I tell you, not even in Israel have I found such faith.” 10 And when those who had been sent returned to the house, they found the servant well

Luke 10:8-9 8 Whenever you enter a town and they receive you, eat what is set before you.9 Heal the sick in it and say to them, ‘The kingdom of God has come near to you.

Luke 10:17 17 The seventy-two returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us in your name!

Luke 10:19 -20 19 Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you. 20 Nevertheless, do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.

1 Chronicles 16:10 Glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice!

Romans 8:31 31  If God is for us, who can be against us?

Philipians 4:13 13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me

Acts 8:6-7, 13 ESV 6 And the crowds with one accord paid attention to what was being said by Philip, when they heard him and saw the signs that he did. 7 For unclean spirits, crying out with a loud voice, came out of many who had them, and many who were paralyzed or lame were healed. 13 Even Simon himself believed, and after being baptized he continued with Philip.

John 14:12 12 “Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the Father

Stepping up to the plate - Sandy

Matt 1:18 18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ took place in this way. When his mother Mary had been betrothedto Joseph, before they came together, she was found to be with child from the Holy Spirit

But Luke 1:37 37 For nothing will be impossible with God.”

Matt 1:19 19 And her husband Joseph, being a just man and unwilling to put her to shame, resolved to divorce her quietly.

Deuteronomy 24:1 24 “When a man takes a wife and marries her, if then she finds no favor in his eyes because he has found some indecency in her, and he writes her a certificate of divorce and puts it in her hand and sends her out of his house, and she departs out of his house,

Matt 1:20-21 ESV 20 But as he considered these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. 21 She will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.”

Matt 1:24 ESV 24 When Joseph woke from sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him: he took his wife,25 but knew her not until she had given birth to a son. And he called his name Jesus.

Matt 2:13-1513 Now when they (the wise men) had departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, “Rise, take the child and his mother, and flee to Egypt, and remain there until I tell you, for Herod is about to search for the child, to destroy him.

14 And he (Joseph) rose and took the child and his mother by night and departed to Egypt

15 and remained there until the death of Herod. This was to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet, “Out of Egypt I called my son.”

Matt 2:19-20 19 But when Herod died, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,20 saying, “Rise, take the child and his mother and go to the land of Israel, for those who sought the child's life are dead.”

Matt 2:21 21 And he rose and took the child and his mother and went to the land of Israel

Matt 2:22 22 But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning over Judea in place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there, and being warned in a dream he withdrew to the district of Galilee.

Matt 2:23 23 And he went and lived in a city called Nazareth, so that what was spoken by the prophets might be fulfilled, that he would be called a Nazarene.

Proverbs 8:33 33 Hear instruction and be wise, and do not neglect it

Philipians 4:13 13 I can do all things through him who strengthens me

Ephesians 4:31 31 Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice

Ephesians 6:1-4 6 Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.2 “Honor your father and mother” (this is the first commandment with a promise),3 “that it may go well with you and that you may live long in the land.”4 Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.

Abide in the Vine & Love

John 15:1-17 ESV

15 “I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser. 2 Every branch in me that does not bear fruit he takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, that it may bear more fruit.3 Already you are clean because of the word that I have spoken to you. 4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. 5 I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. 6 If anyone does not abide in me he is thrown away like a branch and withers; and the branches are gathered, thrown into the fire, and burned.7 If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. 8 By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit and so prove to be my disciples. 9 As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Abide in my love. 10 If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in his love. 11 These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full.

12 “This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. 13 Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends. 14 You are my friends if you do what I command you.15 No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you. 16 You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you. 17 These things I command you, so that you will love one another.

Matthew 15:13 ESV 13 He answered, “Every plant that my heavenly Father has not planted will be rooted up.

Isiah 4:2 ESV  2 In that day the branch of the Lord shall be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the land shall be the pride and honor of the survivors of Israel.

Matthew 3:10 ESV  10 Even now the axe is laid to the root of the trees. Every tree therefore that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.

Romans 11:22 ESV 22 Note then the kindness and the severity of God: severity toward those who have fallen, but God's kindness to you, provided you continue in his kindness. Otherwise you too will be cut off.

Colossians 3:24 ESV 24 knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ.

John 13:10 ESV 10 Jesus said to him, “The one who has bathed does not need to wash, except for his feet, but is completely clean. And you are clean, but not every one of you.”

John 6:56 ESV 56 Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him.

Matthew 12:33 ESV 33 “Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or make the tree bad and its fruit bad, for the tree is known by its fruit.

Isaiah 14:19 ESV  19 but you are cast out, away from your grave, like a loathed branch,clothed with the slain, those pierced by the sword, who go down to the stones of the pit,like a dead body trampled underfoot.

Jeremiah 3:22-23 AMPC

22 Return, O faithless sons, [says the Lord, and] I will heal your faithlessness. [And they answer] Behold, we come to You, for You are the Lord our God.

23 Truly in vain is the hope of salvation from the hills and from the tumult and noisy throng on the mountains; truly in and with the Lord our God rests the salvation of Israel.

Matthew 21:21

21 So Jesus answered and said to them, “Assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but also if you say to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ it will be done.

Mark 11:23

23 For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says.

Acts 28:25-27 25 So when they did not agree among themselves, they departed after Paul had said one word: “The Holy Spirit spoke rightly through Isaiah the prophet to our fathers, 26 saying,

‘Go to this people and say:“Hearing you will hear, and shall not understand;And seeing you will see, and not perceive;27 For the hearts of this people have grown dull.Their ears are hard of hearing,And their eyes they have closed,Lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears,Lest they should understand with their hearts and turn,

So that I should heal them.” ’

Isaiah 6:9-10 9 And He said, “Go, and tell this people: ‘Keep on hearing, but do not understand;Keep on seeing, but do not perceive.’

10 “Make the heart of this people dull, And their ears heavy, And shut their eyes;Lest they see with their eyes, And hear with their ears, And understand with their heart,And return and be healed.”

 Luke 8:10 10 And He said, “To you it has been given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God, but to the rest it is given in parables, that ‘Seeing they may not see,And hearing they may not understand.

Matt 13:13-17 13 Therefore I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand.  14 And in them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled, which says: ‘Hearing you will hear and shall not understand,And seeing you will see and not perceive; 15 For the hearts of this people have grown dull.Their ears are hard of hearing, And their eyes they have closed,Lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, Lest they should understand with their hearts and turn,So that I should heal them.’ 16 But blessed are your eyes for they see, and your ears for they hear; 17 for assuredly, I say to you that many prophets and righteous men desired to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it.

Acts 28:27 For the hearts of this people have grown dull.
