This message is about Jesus' encounter with societies greatest outcast, a leper. In this message you will be encouraged by the heart that Jesus finds in this leper, and why He acts with such great compassion in his life. More importantly, you will discover the type of heart Jesus is looking for in us, so that He can do greater things in and through our lives.
Do you pretend you don't weight too much? I do. I did. I have. With God, He doesn't want me to pretend in my faith. He's the bread of life. I need to be real.
DTV Episode #24 Pastor Jason S. Lockard of Doran Wesleyan Church [VA.] singing The Gospel of Grace and preaching this weeks message JACOB: The Bright Lantern (Genesis 32:24-30) from the series HEROES of the Bible!
This week Pastor Dean delivers the first in a series of sermons focused on being apart of leadership in the church. Using the book of Titus as our backdrop, he sets the stage and introduces the major players of the book.
After the resurrection, after their Savior, their Messiah was killed, something happened that turned their lives upside down and never once denied it. And that fact was that on the third day he was raised form the dead and he appeared to them with all kinds of convincing evidence and proofs, they said, that he’d been raised from the dead for forty days.
What happened in the lives of the apostles? I could see Peter talking to John, and this could be a realistic conversation. “John, John, what do we do? We’re wrong! He’s not the Messiah. John, he’s dead! John, we’ve left everything. We’ve left our business. We left our families to follow him, the king who was going to rule the world. John, he’s dead. He’s not the Messiah. How could we been so mistaken?”
Jesus was the most unlike candidate to be the Messiah of his time, because they looked for a reigning political Messiah. But Jesus said, “I came to suffer. I came to die” “Lord, you can’t! You’re the Messiah. The Messiah can’t die. You’re the son of David.” He said, “I came to die, but I’ll be raised again the third day.” They couldn’t understand him.
So the Jews thought there were two Messiahs coming once each. Jesus said, no there’s one Messiah coming twice. And this is how they arrived at that, and how Jesus was the most unlikely candidate to be the Messiah of his time.
