The Life Which I Now Have By Faith
Gal 2:20
Necessity of Faith
Faith is mandatory and it is Intentional
Intentional Faith
-be deliberate, purposeful
-Heb 11:6 be intentional in what you believe, consistent
-Allow someone else to see your faith through your trust, dependence, confidence, and reliance on Christ
-Without these things you cannot have faith
-The purpose of the bk of John – Jn 20:24, 28 ***
* V29 – Blessed are those who have not seen and yet believed”
*V31 – these are written that you might believe that Jesus is the Christ.
-Persevere in faith without doubt
-Do you truly believe what God in Christ did for you?
-You read God’s word and question what it says but often will immediately believe what you hear/see online.
Deliberate Faith
-Seek him deliberately with all diligence
-What does it mean to seek diligently? We all need help in seeking – Bible study, Bible class, workshops, retreats.
- We need fellowship, deliberate attendance and interaction with other believers. Gal 2:20 We cannot matriculate through the Christian life alone.
Abundant Faith
-John 6: 35 When we are seeking we should hunger and thirst for righteousness
-8:12 Light of the world, you cannot compromise on your interaction with the darkness; you must walk as children of light.
-There will be opposition
-10:7 He is the door, the only door, the only way in which we enter
-10:11 He is the shepherd
-11:25 Salvation is only thru Christ
Being “In Christ” understand the benefits
Romans 8:1
Ephesians 1:3-7
No one can earn their salvation, we gain our salvation IN Christ and our faith, trust, and obedience in Him
2 Peter 3:9

Speaker: Cliff Goodwin
John the Perspective: Grasping John’s Gospel
-How he (John) viewed Christ as he penned the gospel.
John 1: 14
Son of God: reference to Christ is used 10+ times in the Gospel of John. More than any other gospel.
We often miss the significance of that term. Psalm 8:4 (He drew parallelism: same truth stated twice but with a little bit of change)
Affirmation of Christ’s deity.
Son of God = Nature of God
3 Major Ideas from the Prologue of John
- God’s son among men
- Eternity of Christ – paramount importance that you understand Christ has always “been” – he wasn’t “created” in Mary.
John 1: 1-3 Micah 5:2 > Christ is not a “created” being, he is from “everlasting”
John 1:4-5 Before Abraham
John 17:5 I AM
- Hostility our Lord Met
- John 1:4-5, 10-11, 3:19-21, 5:18, 7:1,19,20,25 , 8:41,48,52
- Matt 10:34
- Hostility increases after the raising of Lazarus Chapters 11 and 12 of John
- John 1:14 Authenticity of Christ
- By his signs
- 2:11 reveals his glory
- Acts 2:22
- 2:23 very public
- 7:31 numerous
- 11: 45, 47 undeniability
- By his sayings
- 7:37-38, 46
- 4:39-42
- 8:28-32

May 5, 2024 - Sunday AM Bible Class
This quarter Phil Hartnady leads a study of the book of Jeremiah.
Jeremiah
- the weeping prophet
- forsake / forsaken X 24
- backsliding / backslider X 13
- return X 47
Key verses: 3:25, 6:13-16, 7:23-24, 7:28, 10:23, 20:9, 31:31-34
Key Chapter: 31, the coming of a Messiah that will bring a new covenant.
Jeremiah - weeping prophet - prophesied in Judah (Southern Kingdom) 7th Century BC. This book represents, like others, Gods timeless call to man to trust in him and not in themselves. He lived about 100 years after Isaiah and began his ministry about 626BC lasting until 586BC (60 years). World powers at his birth were Assyria and Egypt, and both were subdued by Babylon in his lifetime. Isaih saved Judiah from Assyria, Jeremiah tried to save them from Babylon, but was not successful. He foresaw Babylon's fall (51:64). Israel (Northern Kingdom) already carried away by Assyria, now Judiah stands alone. Jeremiah helps last good king (Josiah) in reformation of kingdom when book of the law is found. Josiah slain by Pharaoh Necro in 608BC, evil kings reign and hate Jeremiah. In 606 BC, Babylon conquer all, taking captives from Judah (including Daniel).
Jeremiah was young, devoutly religious, tenderhearted and uncommonly bold and courageous, one of the greatest preachers of his time. He foretold the fall of Judah to Babylon, and the return after 70 years of bondage. He spoke of the coming of "the Lord, Our Righteousness" (22:6, 33:16).
Lessons from Jeremiah:
- The problem of sin: 2:13, 5:30-31, 6:13, 3:25, 6:15, 7:4-7, 7:28
- The wages of sin: 13:9-10, 18:1-11, 19:1-15, 24:1-10
- God's plea... Amend your ways: 13:15, 3:12, 26:13
- Coming of a New Covenant: 31:27-34
- Personal Responsibility: 31:29-30
