Don’t Harden Your Heart (Heb 3:7-4:13)

Don’t Harden Your Heart

Hebrews 3:7-4:13

  

When you don’t really listen… you usually miss-out!

  

This passage shows us that God speaks

   

.. and God continues to offer rest

  

And this passage warns us – not to harden our hearts (but to keep listening, trusting and obeying)

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..

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)

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)

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….

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?
