01. Check Him Out! (John 1:19-51)

The Bible starts out in the book of John with John speaking of Jesus Christ.  He's the Messiah He was pre -existent. He is distinct from the father and the and the Holy Spirit and at the same time He is deity. He is God and so John starts out with his grandiose beginning of explaining who Jesus Christ is. Today we're going to be looking at John the Baptist, and an introduction to his life, also looking at John's first experience with Jesus in understanding that he's the Messiah, and then look at one of them, what I believe is one of the most fundamental and basic teachings on evangelism and the Bible on how to reach others with the good news of Jesus Christ.

40. The Recommissioning of Peter (John 21:15-25)

Very specifically, through Christ, to a certain lifestyle and to follow Him and to make disciples, we're going to go over some of this. But in the face of discouragement and Peter's own failure, he went back to what he was most comfortable with in the past, and he went fishing, and we talked about that life. last week. But, as Romans 11, 29 tells us, God's calling and gifts are irrevocable.
And God knew that Peter was going to take a dive for a short period of time. And not only Peter, but that he was going to influence the other disciples to go AWOL as well. But you know the wonderful thing about God,  and if you get nothing else from today's message except this, I want you to remember that God... is a God that never gives up. He never says, "That's it. You're finished.

39. Absent Without Leave (John 21:1-14)

I've entitled the teaching today "Absent Without Leave." For those of you in the military with any military background, and most of you that don't have military background, you know what?
What absent without leave means, it means a situation where a soldier commissioned to do a certain post or a certain responsibility leaves without the authorization of his commanding officer.
There are actually a number of figures in the Bible who were guilty of going AWOL. In fact, we find in the very first few chapters of the Bible Adam and Eve going AWOL on the commissioning that God gave them.

38. Sightings (John 20:10-31)

For Christ, it's not sightings, it's appearances. Why? Because Christ made himself absolutely visible. You know, he wasn't hiding. He wasn't transporting us up into heaven and dissecting our brain and switching parts and then putting us back and trying to to erase our memories so that we couldn't recall what happened to us. No, I mean it's like Jesus came right down and he said, "Here I am. Feel me, touch me, examine me." There's no area 51 with Jesus.

37."It is Finished!" (John 19:16-30)

You know, over the years and over the millennia, there have been a number of men who have claimed to be enlightened and to have the word of truth. I think about Muhammad, Siddhartha Gautama, who was Buddha. We have Confucius and, of course, Jesus Christ. Each of these men, men died and was buried.  But only one rose from the dead, never to die again, and his name was Jesus Christ

35. Dealing with Life's Disappointments (John 18:1-27)

This is a pretty powerful passage.
 
There's an awful lot happening in a very condensed period of time. The hours are short before Jesus' death. He is about to give up everything for you and for me. He's going to pay the ultimate price for our sin that we can be reconciled to God. But before that happens, there are some final catastrophic disappointments that Jesus is going to face in his final hours.

34. Jesus' Commissioning Prayer - Part 2 (John 17:20-26)

Last message we talked about Jesus' commissioning prayer, and if you recall, the first three things that Jesus prayed for his disciples, for the growth and expansion of the kingdom, was protection. And we need it. We need protection from sin and the world, but we also need protection from the onslaught of the enemy.
 
So, Jesus prays right away for protection. Jesus is leaving. He protected them during His earthly ministry. And now that He's making the transition back to the Father's right hand, now He's asking that the Father would take over that responsibility of protecting the disciples.

31. Surprised by Joy! (John 16:17-33)

"So with you, now is your time of grief, but I will see you again and you will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy. In that day, you will no longer ask me anything.
 
I tell you the truth, my father will give you whatever you ask him in mind. my name. Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive and your joy will be complete."

30. The Gift of the Holy Spirit (John 16:5-16)

This is Jesus speaking with his disciples. And if you recall, he's in this upper room discourse with his disciples.
 
It's one of the longest stretches in Scripture of Jesus speaking. speaking and the most intimate of all his communication with his disciples. And it's going to go on for quite a while through this book.
And we're going to be finishing up and probably in a couple of months. But he's still teaching his disciples. This is just before his death.

29. Like Father - Like Son -Like Disciple (John 15:18-16:4)

You do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you. Remember the words I spoke to you. No servant is greater than his master. If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also.
 
If they obeyed my teaching, they would obey yours also. They will treat you this way because of my name, for they do not know the one who sent me.
