Our Identity: Men and Women in Christ (Reading Gen1:26-2:25)

Our Identity: Men and Women in Christ

Bible Reading: Genesis 1:26-2:25

 

“Women and Men are Equal and Interchangeable”

  Equal – yes

Interchangeable – not so much

  

So how are we different and why? 

 

Life in Christ, as women and as men..

(Preacher: Steve Blencowe)

Who is Jesus? (Phil 2 / Heb 2)

Who is Jesus? 

(Reading Philippians 2:5-11 & Hebrews 2:6-18)

 

1.                      God the Son became human like us 

2.                      To live the life we should have 

 

3.                      To die the death we should have

 

4.                      So he could bring us to God

 

(Preacher: Andreas Mayer)

Jesus: The resurrection & The Life (John 11)

Jesus: The resurrection & The Life

John 11

(Reading 11:1-26)

 

John shows us Jesus’ humanity and his divinity

These events took place to glorify Jesus…      (11:4)

…the resurrection and the life            (11:25-26)

 

And these events are recorded that you might believe

 

As we finish our time in John’s gospel, can you declare with Thomas – that Jesus is your Lord and God (20:28)

   

(Preacher: Steve Blencowe)

The Shepherd and His Sheep (John 10)

The Shepherd and His Sheep

John 10

(Reading 10:1-24)

 

Jesus is the Good Shepherd 

  • He uses the gate (10:1-6)
  • He is the gate (10:7-9)
  • He gives his life for his sheep, voluntarily (10:10-13, 17-18)
  • He knows all his sheep (10:14-16)

 

Jesus’ sheep listen to His voice (10:4-5, 16)

 

 

Beware of thieves, robbers and wolves….

 

 

 (Preacher: Steve Blencowe)

The right response to Jesus! (John 9)

The right response to Jesus!

John 9

 

A man born blind demonstrates how we should respond to seeing Jesus’ signs

  

 

While the Jewish leaders display the sorry reality of spiritual blindness

 

 

Along the way John causes us to think about the relationship between sickness and sin

 

 

What can we learn from the once blind man?

(Preacher: Steve Blencowe)

Jesus’ words: the diagnostic test for our hearts

Jesus’ words: the diagnostic test for our hearts

John 8:31-59

Believing in Jesus will set you free

Jesus is denying the truth

There’s no one more important than Jesus. So how we respond to Him matters more than anything.

(Preacher: Thom Herbert)

Jesus: the true light, that gives life (John 8:12-30)

Jesus: the true light, that gives life

John 8:12-30 

 

 

John has told us Jesus is the light…    (Jn 1:1-18) 

Now Jesus says “I am the light…”       (Jn 8:12)

 

John shows us the darkness of:  

The Pharisees’ human judgement  (Jn 8:12-20)

  

      and the Jews’ worldly thinking      (Jn 8:21-30)

  

Everything will be clearer – when Jesus is ‘lifted up’

 

Are you enjoying the life that the light gives?
