5. Kingdom Rivalry (John 3:22-36)

Last podcast, we spoke about Nicodemus and being born again. And on the heels of that, we have a very interesting story, a very interesting account of the disciples. And I've called this message "Kingdom Rivalry." And that's exactly what's going on here. Jealousy, envy, pride, all kinds of ugly sin in the kingdom of God.
 
And lest we get too judgmental, I have to confess myself that I struggle with some of the same things that the disciples did. And I'm sure that all of us do at times. And so we have some really important things that I think we can learn today, not only about ministry, but about life in general and how God wants us to live it

4. You Must Be Born Again (John 3:1-21)

People in our culture just have this very negative view of born -againers. But the fact is that these people would be shocked if they realized that Jesus is the one who delivered that term.
He is the one that coined that term. He is the one that said that. And they probably think it just came up out of the cultural milieu of evangelical Christianity. We kind of came up with this term of being a born -again believer.
 
But Jesus was the one that spoke these words and he spoke them to a man named Nicodemus.

3. The Power to Change (John 2:1-25)

The Father, to make known the Father, that was why He came. Everything else is an outflow and an overflow of that.
 
His death on the cross, the healings, all the miracles, His training of the disciples, all of that was a subset of His primary objective, which was to make the Father known. And John, as we look at John chapter 2 today.

2. Won by One (John 1:35-42)

I've been a little overwhelmed the last few days. You know, when you get so much on your plate, it's like you just feel like this is just one thing more than I can handle. Anybody ever feel like that? Okay, probably most of us on probably more occasions than we'd like to admit.

1. What’s the Good Word? (John 1: 1-18)

The book of John was written by the Apostle John, who was one of the primary disciples of Christ. It was always James, John, and Peter. They were kind of on the inner circle. And so John had a real close, up close and personal inside look at the life of Jesus. And he knew him very well. And he knew his ministry very well. He knew the heart of God through Christ very well. And he also, because of the proximity of his relationship with Christ, knew many, if not most, of all the things that Jesus ever spoke or did during his earthly ministry.

The Lifestyle of Worship (Psalm 100)

A Psalm of Thanksgiving.
100 Make a joyful shout to the Lord, [a]all you lands!2 Serve the Lord with gladness;Come before His presence with singing.3 Know that the Lord, He is God;It is He who has made us, and [b]not we ourselves;We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.
4 Enter into His gates with thanksgiving,And into His courts with praise.Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.5 For the Lord is good;His mercy is everlasting,And His truth endures to all generations.

36. A Servants Heart (Mark 10:35-45)

When God is working and moving, there are many things we can do to impede and hinder His plan.  We can actually slow down what he wants to do.  There are two primary characteristics of a genuine believer. 
1. Love for God, Love for others.
2. Servants Heart. 
Scripture is Mark 10: 35

35b. Becoming a Disciple Maker (2 Timothy 2:1-7)

God's design is that we make disciples. What is a disciple?  A committed follower and emulator of Christ. 
2 Timothy 2:1-7 NKJV
Be Strong in Grace
2 Timothy 2:1-7  You therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. 2 And the things that you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also. 3 You therefore must endure[a] hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. 4 No one engaged in warfare entangles himself with the affairs of this life, that he may please him who enlisted him as a soldier. 5 And also if anyone competes in athletics, he is not crowned unless he competes according to the rules. 6 The hardworking farmer must be first to partake of the crops. 7 Consider what I say, and [b]may the Lord give you understanding in all things.

35a. Desperate for the Lost (Isaiah 42:5)

This is what God the Lord says—the Creator of the heavens, who stretches them out,    who spreads out the earth with all that springs from it,    who gives breath to its people,    and life to those who walk on it:6 “I, the Lord, have called you in righteousness;    I will take hold of your hand.I will keep you and will make you    to be a covenant for the people    and a light for the Gentiles,7 to open eyes that are blind,    to free captives from prison    and to release from the dungeon those who sit in darkness.
