Description
Mathew 26:1-13 & Other Today You are going to get 2 sermons and one. This last week I had several very interesting conversations. So the first part of the recording today has to do with four different scriptures that really got impressed upon me during those conversations. In today's message In Matthew I hope you understand that the forces of evil are always trying to snuff out the good news of Jesus crucifixion, death, and resurrection. Things have not changed in 2000 years. This message About the Passover Will give you some background that is important to our understanding of biblical times. Concerning what Mary did for Jesus, and her love for him, it serves as an inspiration to us even to this day. I pray your hearts and minds will be touched. 57min

Matthew 26:14-25

Description
Matthew 26:14-25 Christians do not have to practice Jewish traditions. However, we need to familiar with them and understand how God use them prepare mankind for what Jesus did on the cross. In the lesson the day we learned about what was happening right before Jesus was arrested and went to the cross. The background information on the Passover is important for us to understand in that it prepared us for the "Lord's supper" and the "New Covenant". We will never fully understand why Jesus was betrayed by Judas but there are lessons to be learned in the event that transpired. 47min
Matthew 26c Be Aware 2022 Jewish HOLY DAYS

Many NT verses

Description
The Holy Spirit has interrupted! God has reminded me of how the Old Testament Holy Days relate to the Christ followers of today in the New Testament. Can today's believers understand how the Old Testament and the New Testament are one book written by the finger of God. Today we will relate how the Jewish days of Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Sukkot, and Hanukkah all closely relate to the modern day believer in the New Testament. God has grafted us in, why do we not understand that God's plan of redemption has not changed? Lots of New Testament verses; please have pencil and paper handy so you can write down the New Testament verses of what the Old Testament Holy Days were telling the modern-day believer. 53min

Description
Matthew 26:26-34 & 1Cor 11:23-34 Today we are looking at two primary passages concerning the meaning behind the church sacrament of communion. In Matthew 26 the explanation is pretty short and sweet, but in 1Corinthians 11we get a more detailed explanation. And then of course we must add what is said about what Christ didfor us in Romans 3:21-28 and Hebrews 9:23-28. As we examine the meaning of the bread and the wine there are three theological words you may not be familiar with, but you will understand after this message.The important thing is that you understand the message behind this standard church practice as a believer in Jesus Christ. 61min Please don't get confused by my error ... where I said Matthew 26 and instead of 1 Corinthians 11:27. Where Scripture is talking about taking communion in an unworthy manner.

Description
Matthew 26:31-35 Psalm 107 God is good - ALL THE TIME!! Even in the worst of times,when we fail Jesus and our faith in God. Jesus and His Living Word is able to show us truths that the average man ( without being born again ) cannot comprehend. Jesus had just left the upper room with his disciples to go to the garden of Gethsemane; where He said "ALL of you will be made to stumble because of me this night". Does this apply to us today? There are some big lessons here that we must learn if we are not to be victims instead of Victor's in the coming days. Are you ready physically, mentally, spiritually, and in your preparations for what is coming upon us? When we fail the Lord, even with our best intentions up front; what must we do and KNOW? Failure can make us stronger! This is going to be a two-part message. So I pray you will tune in next week. 59min

Description
Matthew 26:47- Today, this morning, at 630am, I had a big change in plans on what was to be presented about Jesus in the garden of Gethsemane and His arrest and trials. As I thought back about 10.years and recalled a message that I had done on the six trials of Jesus and how they related to us today. So as I go through these trials please note that Jesus was never convicted of anything wrong doing. It was a totally crooked legal system. A lot of what happened back then applies to us Christians today. How should we handle persecution? Can we expect a fair trial because we believe in the Lord Jesus Christ? Think about what Jesus did during this very trying time. Are we willing to do what the father wants us to do like Jesus did? 52min

Description
Matthew 26:69-75 In these few verses there is a lot to be learned. Jesus made a way for us to have second third and fourth chances when we fail. Peter's failure in denying Jesus three times is a good lesson for us today because we do the same thing. There are some definite does, and don'ts, that we must learn if we are going to stay in a good relationship with our Savior. I pray you will write down some of the many Scriptures that I'm going to just read to you, so that you can look them up later.We need to learn about pride, and gut wrenching repentance, and how God has provided for us forgiveness, and a way back to be in full fellowship with Him.We must never fight these spiritual battles on our own. 48min
Matthew 27a Jesus Final Verdict
Pastor Nelson
Matthew 27:1:26
Loading the player...
Description
Matthew 27:1:26 The lesson today contains information of how Jesus faced trials and accusations bravely and with very few words to say. Because he knew this was all part of the father's plan and the reason He was sent to earth. When we study about Judas and what he did some actions can simply not be reversed.even if we feel remorse and regret. So what was Jesus charged with? Tax evasion, treason, and terrorism. As you hear these Scriptures explained it will strike you of how unfair life is sometimes. But we have to remember God has a bigger plan. 43min

Description
Matthew 28:1-20 In this first lesson of 2023 we are using the most exciting and history changing event of all time. Jesus Christ's resurrection from the grave! As we examine this world changing event two words come to my mind that you will hear repeatedly during this sermon they are RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY. I pray you will clearly see the relevance of these two words as we proceed through this chapter in Matthew. The primary point is that every living human being the one day stand before God and be held responsible for what God has directed us to do. Our accountability to the most high God cannot be dodged or put off. I pray that this lesson will encourage you during 2023 and that you will remember what is taught here throughout the entire new year. 53min

The epistles of first and second Peter give us insights of how we should live to overcome the troubles of this world.

1 Peter 2:11-25 This message from the Word of God may not be the easiest one you've ever listened to, but, it is essential. God's grace is getting what we don't deserve .... And God's mercy is not getting what we do deserve! Let that sink in for a moment. The real question is how should we live in response to tribulation and persecution. To get through it all everyone needs a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. AND Christ followers have been called to represent Jesus to others. We are to obey the authorities over us; BUT as Peter put it "whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you more than to God, you judge". 55min

1 Peter 3:13-17 I'm sorry that we had no broadcast last week. You cannot imagine the battles that went on, but God was victorious. So in these 4 verses I pray that you will listen closely, and hear what the Holy Spirit has to say to YOU. I'm so sorry that you did not get to hear what I said about Isaiah 8:13-15 at the beginning before I was reminded that the recorder was not turned on. The point was, you should hear only God and fear HIM only for God only will keep you safe! The point was "the fear of the Lord conquers every other fear!" As we started recording were learning how to sanctify Christ as Lord, in our hearts. And only we can harm ourselves, if we fail to trust God totally! The message was that each crisis in our lives becomes an opportunity for growth, witnessing, and blessing. Because Jesus knows our every situation and need, in order to be victorious in life we need to make Jesus Christ LORD our livesand give him total control over everything that is going on in our lives. 52min

Peter named for privileges in verses 13 and 14 that encourage us to rejoice in the midst of fiery trials. So how do we do this? 53min
