The Preacher’s Corner

In today's teachings Jesus gives us a rather difinitive warning to remain vigilant for the approaching times for they shall come upon us in a moment we were not expecting, and if we aren't prayed up and ready... Just saying! This and more today with Pastor J!!!

An amazing warning which is given by Jesus concerning the struggles Jerusalem, and the Jews are going to have to face only approximately 40 years into their future from this conversation revealed in Luke 21:20-28! As we carry on the conversation from where we were at yesterday, today we are looking at the certain destruction of Jerusalem by the Roman armies in 70 AD, a time known as "the times of the Gentiles." Also, contained in this time of "vengeance" spoken of in verse 22 there shall be great natural disasters and times of human wickedness which will be embolden and driven by the Antichrist during the reign of his kingdom alongside the False Prophet which will cause friends and family to betray those who have begun to follow the Messiah. This period of time will be horrible for anyone to have to go through and endure, but their trust, as well as ours, being in the Lord will give them the strength to endure to the end because their redemption is drawing nearer and nearer every day!!! This and much more today with Pastor J!!!

Today we see several ways Jesus drives the religious community in Jerusalem crazy! As He challenges the questions of the imposter disciples He also teaches His own disciples how "not to be" an imposter disciple!!! Also, we shall tie Matthew chapter 24 together with Luke chapter 21 as we begin to talk about those things coming down the line in the future! This and more today with Pastor J.

Welcome to Revelation Friday and the beginning of our journey through the book of Revelation as we are introduced to the Father, the Son, and John here in the first chapter. Today is an overview of those things we briefly touched on last Friday from verses 1 through 7. May God bless you as you read this book, listen to the explanations given through this servant, and keep these things in your heart so you may be the prepared servant yourself going out and about sharing with others to assist them in fleeing from this wrath that is surely coming (and I personally believe is coming rather quickly!).

Today we grow in understanding the power and purpose of human rhetoric as this individual, seeking to snare Jesus in a fault, would question His position concerning resurrection. 2 problems this fellow meets right away is the very same Jesus who already proclaimed to be the resurrection and the life, and the 2nd thing this fellow was not prepared for was the concept of God as the God of the living and not the God of the dead! Welcome to the Sadducces and the way they think and argue, but it isn't going to help them this time for Jesus shall set them straight on the matter of resurrection!

Today we begin Luke 20:1-8 and discuss one of my absolute favorite places in Scripture! I love the conversation held between Jesus and the chief priests. Also, I enjoy the logic they produce in coming up with their "Non-Answer" answer strategy which leaves Jesus free to continue His teachings and grind them into powder as He revealed that if they would have fallen upon Him in their brokenness they could have received healing, but due to their rejection of this Cornerstone His word fell upon them and dashed them to pieces! This and much, much more today with Pastor J!!!

Today in Luke 19:28-48 we shall see Jesus weeping over that beautiful city Jerusalem, for had they known the blessing of peace that had come to them they wouldn't be in the turmoil of Roman rule they were under! We then shall see Jesus' reaction to His Father's house and the way in which man had turned the house of God into a place of merchandise and wickedness which will finally get Jesus in enough trouble from teaching in the Temple daily that both the Pharisees and Sadducees would want Him dead, looking for a way to betray Him and destroy Him! This and more today with Pastor J!!!

Today we get to meet Little Zacchaeus and enjoy the interaction between him and Jesus. Also, we receive the parable of the "Ten Minas" as we saw folks grumbling over Jesus' connection to Zacchaeus. This and much more today with Pastor J!

Today we finalize Luke chapter 18 as we take another look at what Jesus said concerning the willingness to leave all things behind only to receive untold blessing from our Lord! Also we receive sight from a blind man and so much more today with Pastor J.
