We are looking from the back of the church at the entire congregation with a limited view of the leadership. 2:48 Everyone should hear the service. People watching takes a different approach.
Jesus is the name of God and man . "Teaching them to observe ALL things whatever I have commanded you..".(mat 28:20) 1.new testament The Son said: "Father, glorify Your name!" Then a voice came from heaven: "I have glorified Him, and I will glorify Him again!" (John 12:28) 2. What is the Father's name and when will the Father's name be glorified? 3.The name of the Father and the Son is Jesus, and that name is glorified when miracles occur: John said to Jesus: "Teacher, we saw someone who was not our follower casting out demons in Your name, so we stopped that person, because he was not our follower." But Jesus said: "Don't stop him! For no one who has performed a MIRACLE in My name,that can lightly speak evil of Me" (Mark 9:38-39) 4.Jesus answered them: "I have told you this, but you do not believe; the WORKS that I do in My Father's NAME, these bear testimony about Me (John 10:25) 5. What WORKS did Jesus do? (and also the disciples )?? answer: miracles, namely healing, exorcism, etc. 6. THE MIRACLE WORKS were performed in whose name?? Answer: In the name of the Lord Jesus (Mark 9:39), which is the name of His Father (which is also the name of the Son) ...WORKS that I do in My Father's NAME.... 7. This means that the name of the Father and the Son is the same, speaking of name. However, the Father and the Son can be differentiated, namely: a.Jesus is the name of the Son/man: - born -prayed: "In His life as ahuman, He has offered prayer..." (Hebrews 5:7) b. Jesus is the name of the God /Father ,the Lord of heaven and earth (mat 11:25,acts 17:24,rev 17:14,joh 13:13) -a Spirit (John 4:24) -invisible (John 1:18) 8." I came in My Father's name and you did not receive Me; if another person came in his own name, you would receive him" (John 5:43) 9."Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be your name..deliver us from evil.....amen." (Matthew 6:9-13) 10. Studying the Bible doesn't just one verse, it doesn't stop at amen. But all the verses that Jesus said about prayers 11."ask the Father in my name" (John 15:16). Asking the Father means praying to the Lord Jesus, because: - The Father is the Lord (Matthew 11:25) - and there is only one God and one Lord (1 Corinthians 8:6, Revelation 17:14) That is why the Lord Jesus said: "If you ask Me anything in My name, I will do it" (John 14:14). 12. Who delivers us from evil? Jesus "Our Father who art in heaven...deliver us from evil" Paul said: "And the Lord will deliver me from every evil endeavor. He will save me, so that I will enter His kingdom in heaven." (2 Timothy 4:18) Kord=Kyurios Evil= ponerou. The Lord Paul refers to is definitely the Lord Jesus (Acts p.r 9:5, 1 Corinthians 1:2, 8:6). "..with all people in every place, who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and our Lord " (1 Corinthians 1:2 ) 13. We are kept saved and secured in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ "And I am no longer in the world, but they are still in the world, and I come to You. O holy Father, keep them in Your name..." (John 17:11) 14.saved by the name of the Lord Jesus " Neither is there salvation in any other : for there is none other name under heaven given among men,whereby we must be saved "(acts 4:12) 15.The following three verses refer to the same Lord, i.e Jesus : a." That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus Christ,and shalt believe in thine heart that God raised him from the dead,thou shalt be saved"(Rom 10:9) b." For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him "(Rom 10:12) c." For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved"(Rom 10:13) 16.Stephen called upon the name of the Lord to be saved , example: "O Lord Jesus, receive my spirit" (acts 7:59-60) Because that is the name of our Father in heaven.
Do you have a Bus Ministry? That is, do you pick up those who no longer drive and have no other means of transportation and take them to and from your Sunday morning service?
Dr. Flamming was my pastor in Abilene in the early to mid 70's and prayed us through some very difficult times. He will always be that special pastor in my life who had a gift for shepherding his flock. I will remember him always.
Dr Flamming was the most special patient to me. He did far for more for me when he came in with his gentle commanding presence..and and prayed with me and held my hands and then said “well get along with the needle sticks Doc. It’s not getting any easier waiting here! A Saint iPod God has entered those gates. 😢
You people call yourselves "Christian" thinking iconoclasm and destroying history is "God's Work". Meanwhile there are homeless people on our streets, crime through the roof, and a failing public school system. You never care about that. It's all about "social justice". Robert E. Lee will always be remembered fondly. We will restore our history and our monuments. Proverbs 22:28 "Remove not the ancient landmark, which thy fathers have set."
