Jesus delivers what is commonly known as :The Sermon on the Mount.” It has so much to consider we will look at it in various parts.

He issues a number of this then statements, such as “Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive me...

As Jesus continues His circuit ministry throughout Galilee, there are many people following, in addition to His disciples. One of those groups of people who were following Jesus was the Pharisee. They followed Him, not to learn from Him, but to criticize Him. One such occasion was when He and His disciples walked through a grain field on the Sabbath. His disciples were hungry, so that picked some...

Jesus calls Levi/Matthew to follow Him. Matthew was a tax-collector. Tax-collectors were hated, both because they collected taxes, but were doing so for the Roman Empire. Tax-collectors who were also Jewish were considered traitors. Even so, Jesus calls Matthew to follow Him. Jesus calls people like you and me who others may not think worthy, but Jesus does so anyway. As a result Matthew gives a r...

FBCWest 337 | Jesus Heals and Forgives Sins After having sowed His power and authority over nature by Simon’s great catch of fish, Jesus now shows not only His authority over the Scriptures as He teaches and preaches, He shows His power and authority over other matters.

Jesus after preaching to the people in Simon Peter’s boat. Tells Simon to go out a little and cast his net. Simon and his partners had worked all night without catching anything. Simon informs Jesus of this, but tells Jesus he will do so anyway. I do not think Simon did so in faith, but out of respect for Jesus. As a result of him doing as Jesus said, they caught more fish than two boats could hol...

Early in that ministry He returns to His home town of Nazareth. There, as is His custom, attends synagogue on the Sabbath. He reads the prophet, Isaiah Chapter 61 and declares that they are witnesses to t...

333 FBCWest | The Resurrevtion and the Life by First Baptist Church of Westminster, California

Jesus returns to Jerusalem for a holy day feast and heals a man who had been disabled for 38 years on the Sabbath. He is accused by the religious authority of breaking the Sabbath by healing the man. Jesus’ response is that God the Father works on the Sabbath and He does what He see His Father doing. This enrages them even more in that He is making himself equal with God. Jesus again rebukes them...

A desperate father, because his son is dying, goes to Jesus, in faith, believing Jesus can heal him if He goes to his son. Jesus’ initial response is that people only want to see signs and wonders. The father stays persistent and implores Jesus to go to his son anyway. Jesus then answers him and say the child is healed. The father now has a choice: one to continue to implore Jesus to do it the way...

The miracle at the wedding at Cana speaks more of who Jesus is than just His first miracle. Jesus turns water into wine. Jesus does not transform water, He changes its elements to wine. Jesus’ power is not just that he moves one form to another. He does not transform water into ice or steam, but transmutes the elements from water into another substance. He is not limited to the elements at hand, b...

Two of John the Baptist’s disciples hear John’s testimony that Jesus is “the lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world” and follow Jesus. One of them, Andrew, after spending the day with Jesus, brings his brother Simon to Jesus, telling his brother they found the Messiah. Then Jesus sees and calls to Phillip, a Jew with a Greek name, to follow Him. Phillip also, in response to following Jes...

We all experience temptations to do the wrong thing or make the wrong decision. Jesus also was tempted. The Bible says that Jesus was tempted in all things and yet “without sin”. There are many things we can learn from Jesus’ temptations. How to deal with them. Jesus often used Scripture to combat temptation. We also learn that even after successfully dealing with Satan, that Satan will come again...

Usually when we think of baptism we think of a sinner coming to God. However, with this view we are surprised that Jesus comes to John the Baptizer to be baptized. John does not want to baptize Jesus, because he knows Jesus is greater than he. However, Jesus convinces him to baptize Him, so that “righteousness” might be fulfilled. Upon Jesus baptism, the Holy Spirit descends upon and remains on Hi...
