WHY JESUS IS CALLED "THE LAMB OF GOD" AND WHY THAT IS IMPORTANT The Jewish leaders thought that John the Baptist could be the promised Messiah. John 1:19-20 This was John's testimony when the Jewish leaders sent priests and Temple assistants from Jerusalem to ask John, "Who are you?" He came right out and said, "I am not the Messiah." John had already preached about Jesus: John 1:15-18 John testified about him when he shouted to the crowds, "This is the one I was talking about when I said, 'Someone is coming after me who is far greater than I am, for he existed long before me.'" From his abundance we have all received one gracious blessing after another. For the law was given through Moses, but God's unfailing love and faithfulness came through Jesus Christ. No one has ever seen God. But the one and only Son is himself God and is near to the Father's heart. He has revealed God to us. In John 1:29, John pointed to and identified Jesus: "Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!" This declaration came the day after the Jews asked John if he was the Christ. The word "Behold" means stop, look, and consider. Among the Jews, a lamb was sacrificed and eaten every year at Passover for centuries to celebrate their deliverance from Egypt. A lamb was also offered in the tabernacle, and later in the temple, every morning and evening as part of daily worship. Exodus 12:3-14 recounts this tradition: each household was to take a lamb without blemish and sacrifice it, placing its blood on their doorposts. God would then pass over their houses and spare them from judgment. Jesus is called "The Lamb of God" because He is the Messiah—foretold as a lamb led to slaughter, shedding His blood to die for mankind so that the wrath of God would pass over the believer. 1 Corinthians 5:7 - "For indeed Christ, our Passover, was sacrificed for us." Christ is the Perfect Sacrifice: Hebrews 9:11-15 describes how Christ entered a greater, heavenly tabernacle with His own blood—not the blood of animals—securing our redemption forever. His blood purifies our consciences and enables us to worship the living God. He mediates a new covenant, offering eternal inheritance. The lamb also symbolized patience, meekness, and gentleness—traits Jesus embodied and surpassed. Jesus is holy, loving, just, good, merciful, gracious, faithful, truthful, patient, and wise. Believers are called to be like Christ: Romans 8:29 - "...conformed to the image of Christ." 1 Peter 2:21-25 calls believers to follow Christ's example—even in suffering. Jesus never sinned, did not retaliate, and bore our sins on the cross so we could live righteously. Isaiah 53:5-6 speaks of Christ's suffering: "He was pierced for our rebellion, crushed for our sins... by His wounds we are healed." What is sin? 1 John 3:4 - "Sin is lawlessness." Who is guilty? Romans 3:23 - "All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." God's glory is His perfect nature (Matt 16:27; Matt 17:1-8). Jesus, being God in human form, is sinless and perfect (Heb 6:18; James 1:13; Matt 5:48). Jesus is the only Savior: Acts 4:10-12 declares that there is no other name by which we must be saved. Only Jesus can forgive and cleanse us from sin: 1 John 1:8-10 explains that denying sin is self-deception. But if we confess, He is faithful and just to forgive and cleanse us. Sin stains the soul: James 1:27 urges believers to remain unspotted by the world. Only Jesus can cleanse the conscience: Hebrews 9:14 - His blood cleanses our conscience from dead works. In light of what Jesus has done, how are you serving Him? Psalm 100:2-5 encourages service with gladness, praise, and thanksgiving. Benediction: Jude 24-25 - "Now unto Him who is able to keep you from falling and present you faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy... be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and forever. Amen."

LEARNING FROM JESUS TO WIN SOULS 1. Jesus Calls Us to Be Soul Winners “Come, follow Me, and I will show you how to fish for people!” Matthew 4:18–20 (NLT) ვიღაცამ თქვა: „თუ ადამიანებს არ თევზულობ, მაშინ იესოს არ მიჰყვები.“ 2. Jesus’ Example: The Samaritan Woman Jesus shows us how to reach the lost. Step 1 — He Initiates a Conversation John 4 describes Jesus arriving at Jacob’s well. A Samaritan woman came to draw water, and Jesus starts a conversation: “Give Me a drink.” He breaks barriers: Jew vs. Samaritan Man vs. Woman Righteous vs. sinner This teaches us: ✅ Soul winning starts with simple conversation. Step 2 — He Uses Spiritual Curiosity Jesus tells her two things: “If you knew the gift of God…” (eternal life) “…and who it is that says to you…” (the Messiah) Then promises: “You would have asked Him and He would have given you living water.” John 4:10 She doesn’t understand yet — but she wants to know more. Curiosity opens the heart. Step 3 — He Keeps the Focus on Salvation She asks questions about Jacob and the well. Jesus gently ignores side questions and stays on the main point: “Whoever drinks of the water I give will never thirst… it will become a fountain… everlasting life.” Living Water = Eternal Life + The Holy Spirit Jesus later explains: “…He lives with you and will be in you.” John 14:17 “I will never fail you nor abandon you.” Hebrews 13:5–6 Step 4 — She Responds “Sir, give me this water!” John 4:15 She asks for salvation — even if she doesn’t fully understand yet. Just like many new believers. Step 5 — Jesus Reveals Her Need for Forgiveness “Go, call your husband.” She says: “I have no husband.” Jesus reveals her past. Soul winning requires: ✅ Love ✅ Truth ✅ Helping a person see their need Someone said: „სანამ ადამიანს დაკარგულად არ დაანახებ, ვერ გადაურჩენ.“ Step 6 — She Recognizes the Messiah She says: “I know that Messiah is coming…” Jesus replies: “I who speak to you am He.” ეს არის იშვიათი, პირდაპირი გამოცხადება იესოსაგან. 3. The Woman Becomes a Soul Winner Immediately She leaves her waterpot (symbolic — leaves old life), and goes to the city: “Come, see a man…” Notice: She doesn’t preach She asks a question She invites them to examine Jesus themselves Good soul winners don’t pressure — they invite. 4. The Results Many believed because of her testimony. Then even more believed after hearing Jesus: “Now we believe… for we ourselves have heard Him.” John 4:42 (NKJV) This is biblical soul winning: Conversation Message Invitation Response More people come to Jesus 5. Will You Obey Jesus? Paul asks: How can they believe if they have never heard? And how will they hear unless someone tells them? Romans 10:14–15 (NLT) We are ALL sent. I thank God for the person who told me about Jesus. Think of the one who told you. Now you can be that person for someone else. 6. We Must Study to Be Ready “Always be ready to give a defense… for the hope in you.” 1 Peter 3:15–16 Join our Bible School on Friday at 6 PM We must grow. We must learn. We must prepare. BENEDICTION “Now the God of peace… make you perfect in every good work…” Hebrews 13:20–21

Sermon for Sunday John 4:1–42 Introduction God had only one Son — Jesus — and He was a soul winner. Christians are commanded to follow in His steps and to be soul winners. 1 Peter 2:21 – “Christ left you an example, that you should follow in His steps.” 1 John 2:6 – “Walk as He walked.” Ephesians 4:1 – “Walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called.” How have we been called? How have we been commanded? Matthew 28:18–20 (NKJV) “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Have you obeyed this command? John 14:15 (NIV) – “If you love Me, you will obey what I command.” Are you a soul winner for Jesus? Great rewards are promised if you obey. Rewards for Obedience A more abundant life John 10:10 (NKJV) – “I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.” Wisdom and fruitfulness Proverbs 11:30 (NIV) – “The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, and he who wins souls is wise.” Eternal glory Daniel 12:3 (NLT) – “Those who are wise will shine as bright as the sky, and those who lead many to righteousness will shine like the stars forever.” Prosperity in God’s work Psalm 1:3 (NKJV) – “He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf shall not wither; and whatever he does shall prosper.” Jesus’ Example as a Soul Winner Jesus shows us how to win souls through His encounter with the Samaritan woman. 1. He Initiated the Conversation John 4:5–7 Jesus came to a city of Samaria, called Sychar… being wearied from His journey, He sat by the well. A woman of Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, “Give Me a drink.” Jesus began with a simple request to start a conversation. Then He offered her something greater — the gift of God, eternal life. John 4:10 (NKJV) – “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, ‘Give Me a drink,’ you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water.” The “living water” symbolizes eternal life through faith in Jesus. The woman was curious but confused. Jesus gently led her from curiosity to faith. 2. He Offered Salvation Clearly John 4:13–14 – “Whoever drinks of this water will thirst again, but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst… It will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life.” The woman responded: John 4:15 – “Sir, give me this water.” Even though she didn’t fully understand yet, she desired what Jesus offered — and that’s faith beginning to grow. John 7:37–39 (NKJV) – Jesus spoke of the Spirit, whom those believing in Him would receive. 3. He Revealed Her Sin Jesus lovingly exposed her need for forgiveness. John 4:16–18 – “Go, call your husband… You have had five husbands, and the one you now have is not your husband.” Before a person can be saved, they must realize they are lost. Romans 3:23 (NLT) – “For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard.” Romans 6:23 (NLT) – “The wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 10:9–13 (NLT) – “If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.” The woman believed and asked, “Give me this water.” Her faith became real, and she received salvation. 4. She Became a Witness Immediately after believing, she went to tell others. John 4:28–29 – “The woman left her waterpot, went into the city, and said to the men, ‘Come, see a Man who told me all things that I ever did. Could this be the Christ?’” She didn’t preach — she invited. She simply said, “Come and see.” And many came. John 4:39–42 (NKJV) – “Many of the Samaritans believed because of the woman’s testimony… and many more believed because of His own word.” 5. We Are Also Called to Invite Others Jesus said: Matthew 4:19 (NLT) – “Come, follow Me, and I will show you how to fish for people!” To be successful fishermen, we must get the fish into the boat. Likewise, soul winners must invite people to call on the Lord. Romans 10:14–15 (NLT) – “How can they believe in Him if they have never heard? And how can they hear without someone telling them? How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!” Be thankful for the one who told you about Jesus — and go tell others. Call to Action Will you obey Jesus’ command to go and tell? Will you become a soul winner for Christ?

Amen.”

SC. RD. Ps 1 Oh, the joys of those who do not follow the advice of the wicked, or stand around with sinners, or join in with mockers. 2 But they delight in the law of the Lord, meditating on it day and night. 3 They are like trees planted along the riverbank, bearing fruit each season. Their leaves never wither, and they prosper in all they do. 4 But not the wicked! They are like worthless chaff, scattered by the wind. 5 They will be condemned at the time of judgment. Sinners will have no place among the godly. 6 For the Lord watches over the path of the godly, but the path of the wicked leads to destruction. NLT

Learning from Jesus to Overcome Temptations John 4:1–15 1. Jesus Understands Our Weakness John 4:1–6 Therefore, when the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John (though Jesus Himself did not baptize, but His disciples), He left Judea and departed again to Galilee. But He needed to go through Samaria. So He came to a city of Samaria called Sychar, near the plot of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph. Now Jacob's well was there. Jesus, being wearied from His journey, sat by the well. It was about the sixth hour. Jesus was tired, hungry, and thirsty. He experienced everything that we experience, yet He never sinned. Hebrews 4:15–16 For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need. When we are tired, hungry, or weak, we also need the Lord’s help to strengthen us. The word “wearied” in verse 6 means completely exhausted—Jesus was physically drained. We too become exhausted—physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. That is often when Satan makes his move to tempt us to sin. 2. Jesus’ Example in Overcoming Temptation Satan waited until Jesus was extremely hungry to tempt Him. Matthew 4:1–11 Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. After fasting forty days and nights, He was hungry. The devil said, “If You are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.” Jesus replied, “No! The Scriptures say, People do not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.” The devil then tempted Him two more times—urging Him to test God and to worship him in exchange for all the kingdoms of the world. Jesus said, “Get out of here, Satan! For the Scriptures say, You must worship the Lord your God and serve only Him.” 👉 Each temptation was met with Scripture. Yielding to temptation means following Satan instead of God. Every time we sin, we are disobeying God and obeying Satan. 3. Peter’s Failure and Restoration Even strong believers can fall when weak. Matthew 26:31–35, 69–75 Peter promised never to deny Jesus, yet out of fear he denied Him three times. When the rooster crowed, Peter remembered Jesus’ words and wept bitterly. Peter’s denial came from fear—fear of being identified with Christ. But after the resurrection and the coming of the Holy Spirit, Peter was transformed! He preached boldly, and thousands were saved (Acts 2). 👉 This shows the power of the Holy Spirit to overcome weakness. 4. The Power to Overcome Sin Romans 8:1–4 There is now no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus. The life-giving Spirit has freed you from the power of sin that leads to death. As believers, we have the Holy Spirit living in us to give us victory. Ephesians 6:10 “Be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.” But how do we receive His strength when we feel weak? By renewing our mind. Romans 12:2 “…be transformed by the renewing of your mind…” When Satan tempts you, change your thoughts. Immediately quote Genesis 1:1 — “In the beginning, God.” Meditate on it and refocus your mind on Him. Picture God as your loving, forgiving Friend who understands you. Ask Him to defeat Satan’s lies with His truth. Ephesians 6:12 “For we are not fighting against flesh and blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world…” When you meditate on Genesis 1:1, remember: Before God created everything, nothing existed—only God Himself. Your temptation didn’t exist before creation. So why worship something created instead of the Creator? Romans 1:21–23 They knew God but did not glorify Him as God… and worshiped created things rather than the Creator. 5. The Work of the Holy Spirit in Us Romans 5:1–5 Because of our faith, we have peace with God. Trials develop endurance, character, and hope. The Holy Spirit fills our hearts with God’s love. Acts 1:8 “You shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you.” Galatians 5:22–23 “The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.” When your heart is yielded to the Holy Spirit, you have power over sin and Satan. So when Satan tempts you and you feel weak— quote Genesis 1:1, meditate on it, and ask God to give you strength to worship only Him. 6. Jesus Offers Living Water John 4:9–15 The Samaritan woman said, “How is it that You, being a Jew, ask a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?” Jesus answered, “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, ‘Give Me a drink,’ you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water.” “Whoever drinks of this water will thirst again, but whoever drinks of the water that I give will never thirst. The water that I give will become a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life.” The woman said, “Sir, give me this water!” 👉 Only Jesus can satisfy the thirst of our hearts and give spiritual strength to overcome sin. Benediction Jude 24–25 (KJV) Now unto Him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, to the only wise God our Savior, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen. ✅ Main Lesson Summary: Jesus understands your weakness. He overcame temptation by the Word of God. The Holy Spirit gives believers power to overcome. Meditate on God’s truth—focus your heart on Him. Jesus offers living water that satisfies forever.

SCRIPTURE READING Ps 139:1-10 O Lord, you have examined my heart and know everything about me. 2 You know when I sit down or stand up. You know my thoughts even when I'm far away. 3 You see me when I travel and when I rest at home. You know everything I do. 4 You know what I am going to say even before I say it, Lord. 5 You go before me and follow me. You place your hand of blessing on my head. 6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too great for me to understand! 7 I can never escape from your Spirit! I can never get away from your presence! 8 If I go up to heaven, you are there; if I go down to the grave, you are there. 9 If I ride the wings of the morning, if I dwell by the farthest oceans, 10 even there your hand will guide me, NLT

Sermon: Are You as Close to God as You Want to Be? Text: Psalm 23; Psalm 42:1–2 Introduction David longed for God: “As the deer pants for the water brooks, so pants my soul for You, O God.” (Ps 42:1–2 NKJV) Question: Can you say that about yourself? Today we’ll see how to develop this deep closeness to God—by making the Lord our Shepherd. 1. The Decision to Make the Lord Your Shepherd (Ps 23:1) David declared: “The Lord is my Shepherd.” Not just a shepherd, but my Shepherd—personal. This decision changed his life. He recognized, like sheep, we are helpless without a Shepherd. Without God, people wander into sin and destruction. God offers a better future: “Even if my father and mother abandon me, the Lord will hold me close.” (Ps 27:10 NLT) 💡 Application: Have you made this personal decision—to let God shepherd your life? 2. The Shepherd Who Provides and Restores (Ps 23:2–3) “He makes me to lie down in green pastures.” God supplies all our needs. Sometimes discipline is painful, but it brings joy (Ps 51:8). “He leads me beside the still waters.” God brings peace and rest. “He restores my soul.” Sin leaves us spotted and stained (James 1:27; 2 Pet 3:14). God restores us and makes us new. “He leads me in paths of righteousness for His name’s sake.” God leads us to live like Jesus (1 Jn 2:6; 1 Pet 2:21–25). 💡 Application: Do you trust the Shepherd to provide, discipline, and restore your soul? 3. The Shepherd Who Protects and Blesses (Ps 23:4–6) “Though I walk through the valley… I will fear no evil.” The rod defends against enemies. The staff rescues the fallen. “You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.” God feeds us the Bread of Life and Living Water. “You anoint my head with oil; my cup runs over.” Oil = comfort and protection. Overflow = blessing to share with others. “Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all my life.” Every good thing comes from God (James 1:17). “I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.” Eternal fellowship with the Shepherd. 💡 Application: God’s goodness is not just for this life—it continues into eternity. Conclusion / Call to Response David thirsted for God. He made the Lord his Shepherd. Jesus says: “My sheep listen to My voice; I know them, and they follow Me.” (Jn 10:27) Will you make the same decision today? Will you let Him be your Shepherd—to guide, provide, restore, and protect you? Benediction Revelation 1:4–6 (NLT): Grace and peace to you… from Jesus Christ. All glory to Him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by shedding His blood for us. He has made us a Kingdom of priests for God His Father. All glory and power to Him forever and ever! Amen.

Jesus Teaches Nicodemus John 3:1–21; Genesis 3 (background) 1. Nicodemus the Religious Leader (John 3:1–2) A Pharisee, member of the Sanhedrin (the top Jewish council). Very religious, but not born again. Came to Jesus at night—afraid of being seen. He recognized Jesus only as a teacher from God, not yet as Messiah or God in the flesh. He saw miracles but was not convinced of Jesus’ true identity. 💡 Application: Many religious leaders today are moral or devout but are not truly born again. Religion without rebirth cannot save. 2. The New Birth Explained (John 3:3–7) Jesus declared: “No one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.” Nicodemus misunderstood, thinking of physical birth only. Jesus clarified: “Born of water and the Spirit.” Flesh gives birth to flesh (physical). Spirit gives birth to spirit (spiritual). 💡 Application: Being “born again” means receiving spiritual life from God—not by effort, not by religion, but by the Spirit. 3. Why We Need the New Birth (Genesis 3) Adam had spiritual life but lost it through disobedience. Eating the forbidden fruit brought spiritual death—separation from God. All descendants of Adam inherit physical life but lack spiritual life. We must be born again to be restored to fellowship with God. 💡 Application: Without Jesus, we are spiritually dead. Salvation is not about improving ourselves but about receiving new life from above. 4. The Mystery of the Spirit (John 3:8) Jesus compared the Spirit’s work to the wind: unseen but real. We cannot control or explain it fully. Spiritual birth is the sovereign work of God. 💡 Application: We can’t “make ourselves” born again—it is the work of the Spirit when we believe in Christ. 5. How New Birth Happens Through faith in Jesus Christ—His death and resurrection. Receiving Him personally as Savior and Lord. Spiritual life is restored by grace. 💡 Application: To be born again is to move from death to life by trusting Jesus completely. 6. Benediction Hebrews 13:20–21 (NKJV): Now may the God of peace who brought up our Lord Jesus from the dead, that great Shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, make you complete in every good work to do His will, working in you what is well pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.

Jesus Must Be Recognized as God and Worshiped 1. Thomas’ Confession: Jesus Is God John 20:24–29 (NLT) Thomas doubted until he saw the risen Lord. Jesus showed His wounds and called him to believe. Thomas responded: “My Lord and my God!” (“Lord” = OT Jehovah) Jesus affirmed: Blessed are those who believe without seeing. 2. Worship Belongs to Jesus Alone At the Wedding Feast of the Lamb, the angel said: Revelation 19:9–10 (NLT) “Worship only God… For the essence of prophecy is to give a clear witness for Jesus.” Worship belongs to Jesus, not angels. 3. Jesus Was Worshiped From Birth Matthew 2:9–11 (NLT) Wise men bowed down and worshiped the child Jesus. They offered Him gold, frankincense, and myrrh. 4. Jesus Is the Eternal Word John 1:1–14 (NLT) “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” Through Him all things were created. The Word became flesh and dwelt among us—Jesus is God in human form. 5. Jesus Is the True God 1 John 5:20 (NLT) The Son of God gives us understanding of the true God. “He (Jesus) is the only true God, and He is eternal life.” 6. Jesus Is God’s Son in His Humanity Matthew 1:18 (NLT) Born of the virgin Mary by the power of the Holy Spirit. Fully God, yet took on human nature. 7. The Father Calls Jesus God Hebrews 1:1–12 (NLT) God spoke through His Son, the Creator of the universe. The Son radiates God’s glory and sustains all things. God says of Jesus: “Your throne, O God, endures forever.” “In the beginning, Lord, you laid the foundation of the earth.” Even angels are commanded: “Let all of God’s angels worship Him.” 8. Because Jesus Is God, We Can Trust Him a. Tell Him All Your Troubles Psalm 55:22 (AMP): “Cast your burden on the Lord… He will sustain you.” 1 Peter 5:7 (AMP): “Casting all your anxieties on Him, for He cares for you affectionately.” b. Trust His Guidance Proverbs 3:5–6 (NLT): “Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek His will in all you do, and He will show you which path to take.” 9. Conclusion Jesus is God from eternity, worshiped by men, angels, and the Father Himself. We must recognize Him as God, worship Him, and trust Him with every part of life. Benediction Numbers 6:24–26 (NKJV) “The Lord bless you and keep you; The Lord make His face shine upon you, And be gracious to you; The Lord lift up His countenance upon you, And give you peace.”

Joyful Living Among the Problems of Life 1. Life Brings Problems We all face problems that confuse us and make us sad. King Solomon tried every possible way to find purpose and satisfaction in life. In Ecclesiastes, Solomon looked at life without God and concluded that life was meaningless. 2. Solomon’s Search for Meaning a. Everything Is Meaningless Ecclesiastes 1:1–11 (NLT) “Everything is meaningless… like chasing the wind.” Generations come and go. Nature continues without change. Nothing under the sun is truly new. Human memory fades with time. b. The Uselessness of Wisdom Ecclesiastes 1:12–18 More wisdom = more grief. Knowledge alone brings sorrow. c. The Uselessness of Pleasure Ecclesiastes 2:1–11 Laughter, wine, wealth, building projects, gardens, possessions, music, relationships— In the end, all meaningless and unable to satisfy. 3. Solomon’s Final Conclusion Ecclesiastes 12:13–14 (NLT) “Fear God and obey His commands, for this is everyone’s duty. God will judge us for everything we do, including every secret thing, whether good or bad.” Everything except following God is useless. Only God gives true satisfaction and lasting joy. 4. Joy in the Midst of Problems Life brings grief, but the Lord gives joy as strength. Nehemiah 8:11 (ASB) “Do not grieve, because your strength comes from rejoicing in the Lord.” Jesus warned us: John 16:33 (NLT) “Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.” Joy is not the absence of problems, but God’s strength within problems. 5. What Is Joy? Definition: Joy is a long-lasting state of being—contentment and satisfaction with life overall. Joy is the second fruit of the Spirit. Galatians 5:22–23 (NLT) “The Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.” If this fruit is not yet in you—it can be produced by the Spirit. 6. Joy Gave Jesus Strength Joy strengthened Jesus to endure the cross and suffering. When problems come: Look past them to the joy promised in Christ. God provides strength to endure. 7. How God Helps Us Bear Problems a. God Provides Grace 2 Corinthians 12:7–10 (NLT) Paul’s “thorn in the flesh.” God answered: “My grace is sufficient for you. My power works best in weakness.” Result: Paul took pleasure even in hardships because Christ’s strength was made perfect. b. God Provides Future Joy Hebrews 12:1–3 (NLT) Jesus endured the cross because of the joy set before Him. When we keep our eyes on Jesus, we don’t grow weary or give up. 8. Discipline Produces Joy Hebrews 12:5–11 (NLT) God disciplines those He loves. Discipline is painful at the time— But produces a peaceful harvest of righteousness for those trained by it. 9. Controlling Our Thinking Joy is connected to how we think and renew our minds. Romans 12:1–2 (NKJV) “Be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God.” 2 Corinthians 10:3–5 (NKJV) “…bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ.” 10. Conclusion Without God, life is meaningless. With God, even problems can be faced with strength, joy, and peace. Joy is not based on circumstances—it comes from the Holy Spirit. Let’s choose joy in every season of life. Benediction Jude 24–25 (NIV) “To him who is able to keep you from falling and to present you before his glorious presence without fault and with great joy—to the only God our Savior be glory, majesty, power and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and forevermore! Amen.”

Appreciating Jesus 1. The Universality of Sin Everyone, except Jesus, has committed sin. What is the Bible definition of sin? 1 John 3:4-5 (NLT) "Everyone who sins is breaking God’s law, for all sin is contrary to the law of God. And you know that Jesus came to take away our sins, and there is no sin in Him." 2. Jesus Takes Away Sin in Two Ways By forgiving and cleansing committed sins. By breaking sin’s power in a Christian’s life. Even good, mature Christians sin at times. King David is an example. 3. David’s Spiritual Journey As a teen, David defeated Goliath. Later, God called him “a man after My own heart.” Acts 13:22-23 (NLT) "I have found David son of Jesse, a man after my own heart. He will do everything I want him to do. And it is one of King David’s descendants, Jesus, who is God’s promised Savior." David wrote many Psalms and was one of the greatest men in the Bible. Yet, he committed two of the worst sins: Adultery – took another man’s wife. Murder – had her husband killed to cover it up. 4. The Consequences of Sin A whole year passed before God sent the prophet Nathan to confront David. That year was full of inner turmoil and outer trouble. Psalm 31:9–13 (NLT) “I am in distress… My body and soul are withering… Sin has drained my strength… I am scorned… My friends avoid me… I am ignored like a broken pot…” 5. Nathan's Confrontation Nathan tells a parable about a rich man stealing a poor man’s only sheep. David was angry, but Nathan boldly said: 2 Samuel 12:7-9 (NKJV) “You are the man!... You have killed Uriah the Hittite with the sword… You have taken his wife…” Sin brings consequences in this life and the next. David confessed, and God forgave him, but consequences remained. 2 Samuel 12:13-14 (NKJV) “I have sinned against the Lord.” Nathan replied, “The Lord also has put away your sin; you shall not die. However, the child… shall surely die.” 6. David’s True Repentance David wrote Psalm 51 to express his repentance. Psalm 51:1a "Have mercy upon me, O God." Mercy = compassion or forgiveness toward someone who deserves punishment. David pleads not based on his goodness, but on God’s goodness. Psalm 51:1b “According to Your lovingkindness… according to the multitude of Your tender mercies…” David uses three terms to describe sin: Iniquity – a twisted path. Transgression – willful disobedience. Sin – missing the mark. Psalm 51:2-3 (NKJV) “Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. For I acknowledge my transgressions, and my sin is always before me.” 7. David's Broken Heart Before God David confessed: “Against You, You only, have I sinned…” Sin is breaking God’s law: adultery and murder. Proverbs 15:3 (NLT) "The Lord is watching everywhere, keeping his eye on both the evil and the good." God sees everything; no sin is hidden. Psalm 51:4b (NKJV) “That You may be found just when You speak, and blameless when You judge.” 8. Final Judgment for All 2 Corinthians 5:10 (NLT) “For we must all stand before Christ to be judged…” Jesus came to save us from both sin’s punishment and sin’s power. 9. God’s Amazing Love John 3:13–21 (NLT) "…So the Son of Man must be lifted up, That everyone who believes in Him will have eternal life… God sent His Son… not to judge the world, but to save it." Light came into the world, but many chose darkness. 10. Benediction Jude 24–25 (KJV) “Now unto Him that is able to keep you from falling, And to present you faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, To the only wise God our Saviour, Be glory and majesty, dominion and power, Both now and ever. Amen.”

THE NECESSITY OF JESUS 1. The Most Important Relationship Having a personal relationship with Jesus, along with daily fellowship with Him, is the most important thing in life. Jesus rightly said: “Without Me you can do nothing.” — John 15:5 (NKJV) 2. Jesus – Our High Priest and Angel Sender Jesus is our High Priest in heaven and sends angels to help us. “…angels are only servants—spirits sent to care for people who will inherit salvation.” — Hebrews 1:14 (NLT) Angels are sent by God, but they need Jesus to come to us. “…you shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of Man.” — John 1:51 (NKJV) Jesus is the "Stairway to Heaven" that Jacob saw: “He dreamed of a stairway that reached from the earth up to heaven. And he saw the angels of God going up and down the stairway.” — Genesis 28:12 (NLT) 3. Jesus Answers Prayer and Gives Joy Jesus sends the angels to answer our prayers in the best and wisest way possible. He gives us joy through answered prayer. “I trust in your unfailing love. I will rejoice because you have rescued me... because He is good to me.” — Psalm 13:5–6 (NLT) 4. Every Good Thing Comes from God “Whatever is good and perfect comes down to us from God our Father… He never changes… We became His prized possession.” — James 1:17–18 (NLT) 5. Jesus' First Miracle and Righteous Anger First, Jesus gave joy at a wedding by turning water into wine. Then, He showed righteous anger by cleansing the Temple: “Stop turning my Father’s house into a marketplace!” — John 2:16 (NLT) Jesus didn’t harm the animals but chased them out, showing holy zeal. This reflects God's holiness and justice. 6. God's Blessing and Warning Moses spoke of God’s promises and warnings: Blessing for Obedience: “The Lord will bless all the work you do... You will always be on top and never at the bottom.” — Deuteronomy 28:11–14 (NLT) Curse for Disobedience: “If you refuse to listen… all these curses will come… Wherever you go and whatever you do, you will be cursed.” — Deuteronomy 28:15–19 (NLT) 7. God’s Presence: Then and Now Once, God lived in the Temple: “Fire flashed down from heaven… and the glorious presence of the Lord filled the Temple.” — 2 Chronicles 7:1–3 (NLT) But today, God lives in us: “You are the temple of God... the Spirit of God dwells in you.” — 1 Corinthians 3:16–17 (KJV) “Your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost.” — 1 Corinthians 6:19 “You are the temple of the living God.” — 2 Corinthians 6:16 8. Jesus Promises Blessings for Obedience “Those who accept My commandments and obey them are the ones who love Me… We will come and make Our home with them.” — John 14:21–23 (NLT) “I leave you with peace of mind and heart.” — John 14:27 (NLT) 9. God Wants Us to Be Holy Just as Jesus cleansed the Temple, He wants to cleanse our hearts, which are His Temple today. “You must be holy in everything you do, just as God who chose you is holy.” — 1 Peter 1:13–16 (NLT) 10. Who Can Stand Before God? “He who has clean hands and a pure heart… shall receive blessing from the Lord.” — Psalm 24:3–5 (NKJV) “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.” — Matthew 5:8 (NKJV) 11. What Does Holiness Look Like? “When you follow your sinful nature... you will not inherit the Kingdom of God. But the Holy Spirit produces: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control.” — Galatians 5:19–26 (NLT) We must crucify the sinful nature and follow the Holy Spirit’s leading in every part of life. SUMMARY QUESTIONS Do you have clean hands and a pure heart? Are you learning from Jesus how to cast out sin in your life? Are you overcoming temptation with His help? BENEDICTION “Now unto Him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy... to the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.” — Jude 24–25 (KJV)

Jesus Gives Joy Scripture: John 2:1–12 On the third day there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there. Now both Jesus and His disciples were invited to the wedding. When they ran out of wine, the mother of Jesus said to Him, “They have no wine.” Jesus said to her, “Woman, what does your concern have to do with Me? My hour has not yet come.” (John 2:1–4) Jesus Calls Mary “Woman” Jesus’ use of the word "Woman" shows that their relationship had changed. He was no longer a boy under her authority, but the Son of God, beginning His public ministry. Mary was now subject to Jesus as her Lord. She understood her need for salvation through Him. “My soul glorifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior.” (Luke 1:46–47) Mary acknowledged her need for a Savior—she was convicted of her sin. She knew Jesus was conceived miraculously, saw His sinlessness as she raised Him, and believed in His divine power. His mother said to the servants, “Whatever He says to you, do it.” (John 2:5) Mary demonstrated amazing faith. She didn’t instruct Jesus what to do; she simply trusted His compassion and power to act. Jesus' First Miracle Jesus said, “Fill the waterpots with water.” They filled them to the brim. Then He said, “Draw some out now, and take it to the master of the feast.” (John 2:6–8) The master of the feast was amazed by the quality of the wine and praised the bridegroom. “You have kept the good wine until now!” (John 2:10) This miracle was the first sign through which Jesus manifested His glory, and His disciples believed in Him. (John 2:11) We Worship Jesus Because He Is God When tempted by Satan to worship him: “Away with you, Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only you shall serve.’” (Matthew 4:10) There Is Only One God Old Testament Testimony Deuteronomy 4:35 – “The LORD is God; there is none else beside Him.” Deuteronomy 6:4 – “Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one.” Deuteronomy 32:39 – “There is no god with Me; I kill, and I make alive.” 2 Samuel 7:22 – “There is none like You, neither is there any God beside You.” Jesus Is the True God “We are in Him who is true—His Son, Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.” (1 John 5:20) Warning Against Idolatry Praying to Mary or Images Is Idolatry Some people pray to Mary or even to pictures in church buildings, but God clearly forbids this. “You must not make for yourself an idol or image... You must not bow down to them or worship them.” (Exodus 20:4–5, NLT) God is a jealous God who desires exclusive worship. Idols Are Not Real Gods “An idol is not really a god. There is only one God... and one Lord, Jesus Christ.” (1 Corinthians 8:4–6, NLT) Peter Refused Worship “Stand up; I myself am also a man.” (Acts 10:25–26) Peter would not accept worship because worship is for God alone. Worshiping Through Idols = Worshiping Demons “These sacrifices are offered to demons, not to God. I don’t want you to participate with demons.” (1 Corinthians 10:19–20, NLT) Final Blessing “The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen.” (2 Corinthians 13:14)

Developing Perfect Love 1. Foundational Scripture 1 John 4:17–19 (NKJV) Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as He is, so are we in this world. There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love. We love Him because He first loved us. 2. What Is Perfect Love? God is love, and His love is perfect. God commands us to grow in and demonstrate this perfect love. “Perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.” — 1 John 4:18 This means: We do not fear standing before God in judgment. Because we have assurance through faith in Jesus that our sins are forgiven. 3. Why Don't We Fear Judgment? Hebrews 9:27–28 (NLT) And just as each person is destined to die once and after that comes judgment, so also Christ died once for all time as a sacrifice to take away the sins of many people. He will come again, not to deal with our sins, but to bring salvation to all who are eagerly waiting for him. God’s perfect love was shown through Jesus. 4. God's Greatest Gift: His Son John 3:16–17 (NLT) For God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. God sent his Son into the world not to judge the world, but to save the world through him. 5. The Two Greatest Commandments Mark 12:30–31 (NKJV) “And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.” This is the first commandment. “And the second, like it, is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.” 6. How Do We Love Like God? a. God Pours His Love Into Us Romans 5:5 (NKJV) “…the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.” b. We Must Use This Love Daily Not selfishly But sacrificially Ephesians 5:1–2 (NKJV) Therefore be imitators of God as dear children. And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma. 7. Warning: Selfishness Grieves God Ephesians 4:30–32 (NLT) And do not bring sorrow to God's Holy Spirit by the way you live... Get rid of all bitterness, rage, anger, harsh words, and slander... Be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you. 8. Examples of Loving Sacrificially a. Epaphras – A Servant Who Prayed Fervently Colossians 4:12–13 (NKJV) Epaphras… always laboring fervently for you in prayers, that you may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God. b. Peter’s Instruction 1 Peter 1:22–23 (NKJV) …love one another fervently with a pure heart, having been born again… through the word of God which lives and abides forever. 9. Jesus' Command: Love Like Him John 13:34–35 (NLT) A new commandment I give to you: Love each other. Just as I have loved you, you should love each other. Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples. 10. Why Was This a “New Commandment”? At the time, people were divided. There were arguments, hatred, and deep disagreements. Jesus was calling for unity through love. 11. How Does Perfect Love Fix Division? By choosing to love, even when we disagree. By refusing to judge, but instead, praying for others and trusting God with the outcome. “Agree to disagree” with love. You and I are not the judge—God is. 12. Jesus on Judging Others Matthew 7:1–5 (NLT) Do not judge others, and you will not be judged... First get rid of the log in your own eye; then you will see well enough to deal with the speck in your friend's eye. 13. Our Focus: Ourselves Develop perfect love like Jesus. Love everyone—even the hard to love. 14. Closing Prayer and Benediction Jude 24–25 (KJV) Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.

MY GOAL FOR THIS MESSAGE That we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus. We are learning about: Christ and His love for us His expectations for us What it means to be made perfect in Him OVERCOMING SIN Sin entered the world at the beginning of creation. Yet God calls us to overcome it: Genesis 4:6-7 (NLT) “Why are you so angry?” the Lord asked Cain. “Why do you look so dejected? You will be accepted if you do what is right. But if you refuse... sin is crouching at the door, eager to control you. But you must subdue it and be its master.” We all face the problem of sin. It knocks at the door of our hearts, but we must conquer it. You may feel it is impossible. But God says: Luke 1:37 (NKJV) “For with God nothing will be impossible.” THE ROLE OF CHRIST Only through a close relationship with Christ can we overcome sin. Romans 7:24–25 (NKJV) “O wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death? I thank God—through Jesus Christ our Lord!” Matthew 5:48 (NKJV) “Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.” WHAT DOES "PERFECT" MEAN? Blameless and without sin Walking upright before God Genesis 17:1 “Walk before Me and be blameless.” Spiritually mature 1 Corinthians 14:20 (NLT) “Be innocent as babies when it comes to evil, but be mature in understanding.” Grown through patience James 1:4 “Let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.” Unspotted from the world Staying clean from the vices and corruption of the world. Jesus again calls us to be perfect in love: Matthew 5:43–48 (NLT) “But I say, love your enemies!... Then you will be acting as true children of your Father in heaven... You are to be perfect, even as your Father in heaven is perfect.” PERFECT LOVE IN OUR HEARTS God doesn’t love sin, but He loves the soul. We are to love the sinner without joining their sin. 2 John 11 “Do not be a partaker in his evil deeds.” 2 Corinthians 5:14 (NLT) “Christ’s love controls us.” God proved His love: Romans 5:6–11 (NLT) “While we were still sinners, Christ died for us… We can rejoice in our wonderful new relationship with God…” CHRIST IN US: OUR HOPE OF GLORY Colossians 1:27–29 “…Christ in you, the hope of glory... that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus.” We are His disciples—His students—learning daily from Him. THE FIRST DISCIPLES John 1:40–42 Andrew heard John the Baptist and followed Jesus. He had only a little faith—yet that was enough. Matthew 17:20 (NKJV) “If you have faith as a mustard seed... nothing will be impossible for you.” 1 Peter 5:7 (NLT) “Give all your worries and cares to God, for He cares about you.” TRUE PEACE THROUGH CHRIST John 14:27 (NLT) “I am leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart.” SHARING THE GOOD NEWS John 1:41–42 Andrew found Simon and brought him to Jesus. The Holy Spirit had entered his heart—he wanted others to know. John 1:43–46 Jesus found Philip. Philip found Nathanael. Nathanael doubted but came and saw. Even those from questionable places—like Nazareth—can be reached. NO GUILE IN THE HEART John 1:47 “Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!” Guile = deceit, craftiness, manipulation. But God desires truth in our hearts. Jacob once deceived, but overcame: Genesis 32:28 “Your name will no longer be Jacob... but Israel, for you have struggled with God and with men and have prevailed.” You too can overcome, through prayer and perseverance. GOD KNOWS YOU John 1:48–51 Jesus: “Before Philip called you, I saw you.” Nathanael: “You are the Son of God!” Jesus knows where you are, what you feel, and what you will become. Psalm 139:7–12 — You cannot flee from God’s presence. Jeremiah 23:23–24 — He fills heaven and earth. JESUS IS THE LADDER TO HEAVEN Jesus told Nathanael he would see “angels ascending and descending”—a reference to: Genesis 28:10–12 — Jacob’s dream of the stairway to heaven at Bethel. Jesus is the center of everything. FOLLOW THE EXAMPLES OF FAITH Like Mary: Sit at His feet and learn. Like Abraham: Believe God. Romans 4:20–22 “He did not waver... fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform... it was accounted to him for righteousness.” BENEDICTION Jude 24–25 (KJV) “Now unto Him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy... To the only wise God our Savior, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.”

THE FIRST DISCIPLES John 1:40 One of the two who heard John (the Baptist) speak, and followed Him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother. Andrew: Heard preaching about Jesus Believed Didn’t know much But had a little faith A MUSTARD SEED OF FAITH Matthew 17:20 (NKJV) “...if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.” (Not a literal mountain, but a mountain of trouble) Andrew's small faith moved him to act. ANDREW BRINGS SIMON TO JESUS John 1:41–42 He first found his own brother Simon and said to him, “We have found the Messiah.” And he brought him to Jesus. The Holy Spirit had entered Andrew’s heart He wanted his close relatives to believe too Jesus saw Simon and said: John 1:42b “You are Simon the son of Jonah. You shall be called Cephas (which is translated, A Stone).” Jesus knew who he was, and what he would become—a mighty Apostle. PHILIP AND NATHANAEL John 1:43 The following day Jesus wanted to go to Galilee, and He found Philip and said to him, “Follow Me.” Jesus knew Philip's heart He knew Philip was seeking the truth John 1:44–45 Philip was from Bethsaida... Philip found Nathanael and said, “We have found Him of whom Moses in the Law, and also the prophets, wrote — Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.” Philip didn’t keep the truth to himself—he immediately witnessed to his good friend Nathanael. THE RESPONSE: “CAN ANYTHING GOOD…?” John 1:46 Nathanael said, “Can anything good come out of Nazareth?” Philip said, “Come and see.” Some places have a bad reputation, maybe even dangerous. Yet Jesus desires to reach every community with the truth. NO GUILE FOUND IN NATHANAEL John 1:47 “Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom is no deceit!” Guile is: Deceitful cunning Craftiness, trickery Manipulation for personal gain It is the opposite of the purity and truth God desires. JESUS KNEW HIM ALREADY John 1:48 Nathanael said, “How do You know me?” Jesus answered, “Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.” Jesus is everywhere all the time. We are limited, but God is Spirit, without boundaries: GOD’S OMNIPRESENCE Psalm 139:7–12 (NKJV) “Where can I go from Your Spirit?... If I ascend into heaven, You are there... Even the darkness shall not hide from You…” Jeremiah 23:23–24 (NKJV) “Do I not fill heaven and earth?” says the Lord. NATHANAEL BELIEVES John 1:49 Nathanael answered, “Rabbi, You are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!” John 1:50–51 Jesus: “Because I said ‘I saw you under the fig tree,’ do you believe? You will see greater things... You shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of Man.” This is a reference to Jacob’s dream: THE LADDER FROM EARTH TO HEAVEN Genesis 28:12 Jacob dreamed of a stairway reaching from earth to heaven, with angels going up and down. Jesus is that connection between earth and heaven—He is the fulfillment of the promise and the hope of glory.

THE FIRST DISCIPLES: THEIR FIRST ENCOUNTER WITH JESUS John 1:35–36 Again, the next day, John stood with two of his disciples. And looking at Jesus as He walked, he said, “Behold the Lamb of God!” John the Baptist points them to Jesus. They respond. THE QUESTION JESUS STILL ASKS John 1:37–38 The two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus. Then Jesus turned, and seeing them following, said to them, “What do you seek?” Jesus asks this timeless question: What are you seeking in life? Money? Pleasure? Fame or popularity? To be in control? They didn’t ask for blessings, miracles, or power. Instead, they asked: “Teacher, where are You staying?” They wanted to be with Him—to know Him. A relationship. Not religion. THE INVITATION: "COME AND SEE" John 1:39 He said to them, “Come and see.” They came and saw where He was staying and remained with Him… Jesus invites all who are hungry to be near Him. When you see how wonderful, kind, and humble Jesus is— you’ll want to be His student too. COME, TAKE, LEARN Matthew 11:28–30 (NLT) “Come to Me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you. Let Me teach you... For I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.” Jesus doesn’t offer religion, but relationship and rest. He wants to teach you personally. ANDREW FINDS HIS BROTHER John 1:40–41 One of the two who heard John speak and followed Him was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother. He first found his own brother Simon and said to him, “We have found the Messiah!” And he brought him to Jesus. Andrew had experienced Jesus’ presence—and he wanted his family to know too. Not everyone you invite will come, “but some will.” JESUS KNOWS WHO YOU ARE John 1:42 Jesus looked at Simon and said, “You are Simon the son of Jonah. You shall be called Cephas (which is translated, Peter).” Jesus: Looked into Simon’s soul Saw who he would become Gave him a new identity From ordinary fisherman to a pillar of the church From unstable to rock-solid in Christ THE BEGINNING OF APOSTLESHIP These humble men—curious, hungry for truth, seeking more— would become Jesus’ apostles. They didn’t start perfect. They started seeking.

Overcoming Sin Part 3 John 1:29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, "Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world." Why do we sin? God says we sin because of the pleasure we get from it. Hebrews 11:24–26 (NKJV) By faith Moses, when he became of age, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter, Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God than to enjoy the passing pleasures of sin, Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt; for he looked to the reward. Because of pleasure, we desire certain sins. James 1:14–15 (NKJV) But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed. Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, brings forth death. Everyone sins Romans 3:23 (NIV) For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. No one except Jesus is sinless. 1 Peter 2:21–25 (NKJV) Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow His steps: "Who committed no sin, Nor was deceit found in His mouth"; Who, when He was reviled, did not revile in return; When He suffered, He did not threaten, but committed Himself to Him who judges righteously; Who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, That we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness — by whose stripes you were healed. For you were like sheep going astray, but have now returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls. God does not stop you from sinning. Romans 1:24–25 (NIV) Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, And worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator — who is forever praised. So, what should we do? Develop a love–hate determination. Love what God loves, hate what God hates. Amos 5:15 (NKJV) Hate evil, love good. Psalm 45:6–7 (NIV) Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever; A scepter of justice will be the scepter of your kingdom. You love righteousness and hate wickedness. Love the Scriptures. Psalm 119:97 (NIV) Oh, how I love your law! I meditate on it all day long. Psalm 119:103–104 (NIV) How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth! I gain understanding from your precepts; therefore I hate every wrong path. Love for God enables us to hate evil. Psalm 97:10 (NKJV) You who love the Lord, hate evil! Proper respect for God enables us to hate evil. Proverbs 8:13 (NKJV) The fear of the Lord is to hate evil; Pride and arrogance and the evil way and the perverse mouth I hate. We need to define hate and evil clearly: Hate – “feel intense dislike for” Evil – “morally wrong or bad; immoral; wicked” Sin is evil, rebels against God and His commands. Christians fight against sin in their lives. Galatians 5:24–26 (NKJV) And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another. John 1:29 (again) “…John saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, 'Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!'” If you think that you have a secret sin that no one knows about, you are wrong. God knows about it, and writes it in your history book in heaven. Ecclesiastes 12:14 "For God will bring every deed into judgment, including every hidden thing, whether it is good or evil." God never takes His eyes off of you. Psalm 34:15 "The eyes of the LORD are on the righteous, and His ears are inclined to their prayer." Proverbs 15:3 "The eyes of the LORD are in every place, observing the evil and the good." Job 36:7 "He does not take His eyes off the righteous..." Sin is living without regard to God’s commandments. Psalm 36:1 (NKJV) “…concerning the transgression (willful disobedience) of the wicked: There is no fear of God before his eyes.” They have no fear nor respect to God and His right to guide them. Romans 3:18 "There is no fear of God before their eyes" This verse describes a lack of reverence or respect for God in the actions and hearts of people. What does it mean for Jesus to take away the sin of the world? 1 Peter 2:24 "He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed." Jesus took the punishment for our sins. Isaiah 53:5 "He was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities." Galatians 3:13 "Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us." Deuteronomy 21:23 "Cursed is everyone who is hanged on a tree." Galatians 3:13–14 (NKJV) Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, "Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree"), That the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, That we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. An amazing promise from God because of Jesus: Forgiveness of all sins of believers — past, present, and future. Power over sin in our everyday life. ("...not have dominion") 1 Thessalonians 5:22 (NKJV) “Abstain from every form of evil.” Cleansing guilt of sin out of our heart. Psalm 51:10–11 (TLB) Create in me a new, clean heart, O God, filled with clean thoughts and right desires. Matthew 5:8 (NLT) God blesses those whose hearts are pure, for they will see God. A new future — heaven and earth wherein dwells righteousness. Revelation 21:1 (NKJV) Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Every good thing happens only because of Jesus. We all fight against sin every day. But we can grow strong in Jesus to overcome sin’s power. When we sin, many things happen. Here are 9 of them: Separates us from fellowship with God. Isaiah 59:2 (NKJV) But your iniquities have separated you from your God; And your sins have hidden His face from you, so that He will not hear. Satan accuses us before God in heaven. Revelation 12:10–12 (NKJV) "...the accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our God day and night, has been cast down. They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony..." Sin grieves God. Ephesians 4:30–32 (NKJV) Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you. Sin quenches the Holy Spirit. 1 Thessalonians 5:19 Do not quench the Spirit. We lose the joy of our salvation. Psalm 51:12 "Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, and uphold me by Your generous Spirit." We face judgment. 1 Corinthians 11:31–32 If we would judge ourselves, we would not be judged. But when we are judged, we are chastened by the Lord. You may commit the “sin leading to death.” 1 John 5:16 We hurt other people. (Example: Uriah) We can confess and be forgiven. 1 John 1:9 "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." Benediction Jude 24–25 (KJV) Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, And to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, To the only wise God our Saviour, Be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.

LEARNING TO WALK IN JESUS’ STEPS 1 Peter 2:21 (NLT) For God called you to do good, even if it means suffering. Christ suffered for you and left you an example. You must follow in His steps. God only had one Son, and He was a missionary. A missionary is a person on a mission. What was Jesus’ mission? Luke 19:10 (NLT) The Son of Man came to seek and save those who are lost. We are commanded to do the same. Matthew 28:18–20 (NLT) Jesus said, "Go and make disciples of all nations. Baptize them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Teach them to obey all I commanded you. I am with you always to the end of the age." God wants everyone to hear the truth and be saved. Mark 16:15 (TLB) He told them, "Go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone." God doesn’t want anyone to perish in hell. 2 Peter 3:9 (NLT) The Lord is not slow to keep His promise. He is patient for your sake. He wants everyone to repent and no one to be destroyed. Jesus Did Two Things to Help Us Obey He sent John the Baptist. John 1:6–9 (NKJV) There was a man sent from God. His name was John. He had a mission. John 1:7 (NKJV) John came as a witness to tell people about the Light so they might believe. God loves everyone and wants to adopt them as His children. Paul told Timothy to share the Good News. 2 Timothy 4:5 (NLT) Keep a clear mind. Work to tell others the Good News. Do your ministry. John’s faithful witness made him a great man. Matthew 11:11 (NLT) Jesus said, "None is greater than John the Baptist." John 1:8–9 (NKJV) John was not the Light but came to tell about the Light. The true Light gives light to everyone in the world. The Light that gives light to all people is a gift from God. Ecclesiastes 3:11 (NKJV) God has put eternity in their hearts. Animals do not have this gift from God. Every human has a sense that there is something more. There is hope that one day we can have more than this world. When you witness like John did, the Holy Spirit convicts people of their need. After His resurrection, Jesus went back to heaven to send the Holy Spirit. John 16:7–11 (NLT) It is best for you that I go away. If I don’t, the Holy Spirit won’t come. If I do go, I will send Him to you. He will convict the world of its sin, of God's righteousness, and of the coming judgment. The world’s sin is that it refuses to believe in me. Righteousness is available because I go to the Father. Judgment will come because the ruler of this world has already been judged. Jesus gave us a personal example of how to witness. John 4:1–26 Jesus was a soul winner. He left Judea and returned to Galilee. He had to go through Samaria. Jesus knew a woman would believe when He witnessed to her. He came to Sychar and sat beside Jacob’s well, tired from walking. Jesus lived in a human body and experienced what we experience. Hebrews 4:14–16 (NLT) We have a great High Priest who understands our weaknesses. He faced all the same testing we do, yet He did not sin. So we can boldly come to the throne to receive mercy and grace. Jesus got thirsty. John 4:7 A Samaritan woman came to draw water. Jesus said, "Please give me a drink." Jesus took the first step. He started the conversation, not with the gospel. That came as the conversation continued. The woman was surprised because Jews avoided Samaritans. John 4:9 She asked, "You are a Jew, and I am a Samaritan woman. Why are you asking me for a drink?" John 4:10 Jesus replied, "If you knew the gift God has for you, and who I am, you would ask me, and I would give you living water." John 4:11 She said, "You don’t have a rope or a bucket. The well is deep. Where will you get this living water?" John 4:12 "Are you greater than Jacob who gave us this well? How can you offer better water than he and his family had?" John 4:13–14 Jesus said, "Anyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again. But whoever drinks the water I give will never be thirsty. It becomes a spring giving eternal life." John 7:37–39 (NLT) Jesus said, "Anyone who is thirsty may come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, rivers of living water will flow from within." He was speaking of the Spirit. John 4:15 She said, "Please give me this water, so I’ll never be thirsty and won’t have to come here." She did not understand. Jesus had to show her that repentance comes first. John 4:16–18 Jesus said, "Go get your husband." She replied, "I don’t have one." Jesus said, "You’re right. You’ve had five husbands, and you’re living with a man who is not your husband." Jesus revealed her sin so she would understand her need. John 4:19–20 She said, "You must be a prophet. Tell me why Jews say Jerusalem is the only place to worship." John 4:21–24 Jesus said, "The time is coming when it won’t matter where you worship. True worshipers will worship in spirit and truth. God is Spirit, so we must worship in spirit and truth." Idolatry is worshiping a man-made idol as if it were God. John 4:25–26 She said, "I know the Messiah is coming. He will explain everything." Jesus said, "I AM the Messiah." She ran to tell everyone in her village. John 4:28–30 She left her water jar and told the people, "Come see a man who told me everything I ever did. Could He be the Messiah?" Many believed because of her testimony. John 4:39–42 (NLT) Many Samaritans believed because of her witness. They begged Jesus to stay, and many more believed after hearing Him. They said, "Now we believe not just because of what you said, but because we heard Him ourselves. He is the Savior of the world." Romans 10:14–17 (NKJV) How can they call on Him if they have not believed? And how can they believe if they have not heard? How can they hear without a preacher? Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Everyone has free will. God does not force belief. Do what the Samaritan woman did—tell everyone! Pray for them. God will save them if they believe. You will be rewarded for your faithfulness. Example: The Philippian Jailer Acts 16:30–34 (NKJV) The jailer asked, "What must I do to be saved?" They replied, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved—you and your household." They spoke the word to his household. He cared for them, and he and his whole family were baptized. He rejoiced in God. May God help us to be faithful witnesses for Jesus. Benediction Ephesians 3:20–21 (NLT) Now all glory to God, who is able through His mighty power to do infinitely more than we ask or imagine. Glory to Him in the church and in Christ Jesus through all generations forever! Amen.

LEARNING TO APPRECIATE JESUS 1. The Importance of John Chapter 1 Every verse in the Bible is important. But John chapter one is perhaps the most important chapter in the Bible because it tells us more about Jesus than any other. Genesis 1:1 tells us that “in the beginning” God created everything. But John tells us that Jesus was present before creation, and in fact, everything was created through Jesus. John 1:1 (NKJV): In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. Jesus was called “The Word” before He was named “Jesus.” John 1:14-15 (NLT): So the Word became human and made His home among us. He was full of unfailing love and faithfulness. And we have seen His glory, the glory of the Father’s one and only Son. John testified about Him when he shouted to the crowds, "This is the one I was talking about when I said, 'Someone is coming after me who is far greater than I am, for He existed long before me.'" John 1:16-17a (NLT): From His abundance we have all received one gracious blessing after another. For the law was given through Moses… 2. The Law Through Moses The law refers to God’s commands, including the Ten Commandments and over 330 others. We read about Moses receiving these commands in Exodus 19–20: Exodus 19:16-22 (NLT) describes a terrifying scene at Mount Sinai. Thunder, lightning, smoke, and God’s voice caused the people to tremble. Exodus 20:18-21 (NLT): The people begged Moses to speak to them instead of God directly. They were afraid they would die. But Moses reassured them: “Don’t be afraid. God has come in this way to test you and so that your fear of Him will keep you from sinning.” Moses was not afraid, but the people were terrified. Today, Christians don’t have to be afraid. Hebrews 4:14-16 (NKJV): Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession... Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need. 3. The Law vs. Grace Moses gave us God’s law, but no power to keep it. Romans 7:12 (NKJV): Therefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy and just and good. The problem is not the law itself—but that it gives no help to overcome sin. It is only a command, not a solution. So, God, out of love, sent Jesus. John 3:16-19 (NKJV): For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. Romans 5:5 (NKJV): Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us. 4. Jesus Gives Grace and Power Jesus came not only to save us—but also to give us grace and power to overcome sin. John 1:16-18 (NLT): From His abundance we have all received one gracious blessing after another. For the law was given through Moses, but God’s unfailing love and faithfulness came through Jesus Christ. No one has ever seen God. But the one and only Son is Himself God and is near to the Father’s heart. He has revealed God to us. John 1:16-17 (NKJV): And of His fullness we have all received, and grace for grace. For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. 5. What Is Grace? Grace is God’s undeserved favor and love. It is a free gift, not something we can earn. It is also the divine power that helps us live a godly life. 2 Corinthians 12:6-10 (NLT): "My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness… For when I am weak, then I am strong." So Jesus gives us grace and power through the Holy Spirit in our hearts. 6. Jesus Is the Truth John 1:17 (NKJV): The law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. Pontius Pilate once asked, “What is truth?” Jesus answers: John 14:6 (NKJV): “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” We live in a time when people say, “my truth is...” But truth is not subjective. Isaiah 59:14 (NKJV): “Truth is fallen in the street.” John 17:17 (NKJV): “Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth.” Psalm 119:142 (NKJV): “Your law is truth.” 1 Timothy 3:15 (NKJV): “… the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.” So when you come to church, you are trafficking in truth. John 8:32 (NKJV): “And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” 7. Thank God for Jesus Hebrews 10:31 (NKJV): “It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.” Hebrews 12:18-29 (NKJV) reminds us that we have not come to a terrifying mountain like Sinai—but to Mount Zion, the city of the living God, to Jesus the Mediator of the New Covenant. 8. Final Blessing & Benediction Numbers 6:24-26 (NKJV): The Lord bless you and keep you; The Lord make His face shine upon you, And be gracious to you; The Lord lift up His countenance upon you, And give you peace.

Righteousness is available because I go to the Father. Judgment will come because the ruler of this world has already been judged. 2. Jesus gave us a personal example of how to witness.

Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Everyone has free will. God does not force belief. Do what the Samaritan woman did—tell everyone! Pray for them. God will save them if they believe. You will be rewarded for your faithfulness. Example: The Philippian Jailer Acts 16:30–34 (NKJV) The jailer asked, "What must I do to be saved?" They replied, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved—you and your household." They spoke the word to his household. He cared for them, and he and his whole family were baptized. He rejoiced in God. May God help us to be faithful witnesses for Jesus. Benediction Ephesians 3:20–21 (NLT) Now all glory to God, who is able through His mighty power to do infinitely more than we ask or imagine. Glory to Him in the church and in Christ Jesus through all generations forever! Amen.
