Woman Who was Made Straight
We see another sabbath healing, a woman with a severe spinal deformity. We see how she was unable to help herself, how we can be good ministers and how Jesus's call to her and subsequent healing is a great example of what he does in our lives.
The Garment Healings
People were healed when they touched Jesus's garment. We see futility of man's attempts and the identification of who Christ is, in his garment. Also, we learn of how our garments tell a story.
Healing of the Centurion's Servant
We see how the Centurion invested in good relationships and sought the things of God before he had a need. We also see the simplicity of authority and speaking on someone's behalf.
Healing of the Man with the Withered Hand
We see the Pharisees attempting to ensnare Jesus with a healing on the Sabbath in the Synagogue. Jesus expounds on the Sabbath and their laws, heals the man; restoring his hand to function.
Healing of Deaf and Dumb
In our continuing series on Jesus's miracles, we look at the healing of the man who could not hear and had a speech impediment, often called 'healing of the deaf and dumb'. Jesus interacts very personally with the man and we see how this is a picture of what Jesus does in the life of a believer.
The Maniac of Gadera
We look at the healing of the Maniac at Gadera. We address two supposed contradictions in the accounts. We also see the true authority Christ has and the impact of a ministry that changes lives.
The Healing of the Ten Lepers
We look at the healing of the ten lepers and how only one returned back to praise the Lord for his healing.
Feeding of the 5,000
We look at the miracle of feed the 5,000 (men, plus women and children). We break the four accounts into similar aspects and discuss each.
The Call of Peter
We take a dive into the interaction of Jesus and Peter before Christ calls Peter to follow him. It involves the use of Peter's boat and the following of a simple, but irrational command.
Persecutions and Afflictions
We take a look at Paul's persecutions and afflictions, and what the difference is between them. We see how afflictions can grow us and how persecutions are designed to break us.
Longsuffering, Charity, Patience
In our ongoing series surrounding the relationship of Paul and Timothy, we take a deeper dive into Longsuffering and Patience (and the difference between them). We also see charity as a key characteristic in ministry.
Purpose and Faith
Paul tells Timothy that he has fully known Paul and mentions specific areas. In this series we look at each of these areas where Timothy FULLY knows Paul. Today, we look at Paul's purpose and faith.
Doctrine and Manner of Life
As we explore Paul and Timothy's relationship, we see that Paul addresses how/what he taught (doctrine) and his manner of living, as key components of an intimate ministry relationship.
Intro to Fully Known
We start a new series looking at Paul and Timothy's deep relationship. We see how their history and experiences created a partnership for longstanding ministry and dealing with challenges to the Christian life
The Tabernacle: The Anointing and Glory
We see how the priests were prepared for the ministry and how once the Tabernacle work was completed, the glory of the Lord showed up. This is parallelled to the NT believer and the finished work of the cross.
The Tabernacle: The Priestly Garments
We look at the garments and their accessories, which were used in the service of the tabernacle. We look at the expectations of the wearer and how it echoes to our service as New Testament believers.
The Tabernacle: The Ark of the Covenant
We look at the Ark of the Covenant and its covering, the Mercy Seat. We see how the Lord uses this to dwell with his people.
The Altar of Incense
We look at the significance of the altar of incense. We see how unique the altar is from the rest of the furniture of the Tabernacle. We also see how it pictures a pure prayer life before the Lord.
The Tabernacle: The Table of Shewbread
We look at the pictures in the table of shewbread and its pointing to Christ and provision for ministry.
The Tabernacle: The Golden Candlestick
We see how the design, placement and function of the Golden Candlestick, empowers us for ministry.
