Abundant Life 2 Part 2 - Audio
Love is he love that's my rule of life what I try to do. I don't do very good sometimes but I'm still trying that's my goal all right John 5 through 12 now we're gonna look at Jesus's Lord through John's eyes okay I don't think so now I drink all mine this year's got this Jesus is Lord John 5 through 12 Jesus is Son of God for God so love the world amen let's look at John 5 this is that story Jesus goes to the pool of Salom in Jerusalem and around the pool all the people in the ancient world were superstitious about these pools just currents from down below geysers that were shooting up how many have been to old faithful in Montana you know our valley we get up there we're sitting on the bench for about an hour just waiting for this thing he goes okay let's go I like it was worth it but it's about 150 miles one way an hour sitting on the dirt two minutes spewing and then an hour and a 150 miles back okay that's vacation that's pretty cool I guys we still have a fashion fascination with springs the people were sitting around there they thought if they could get into this natural hot tub in Glenwood Springs I grew up in Grand Junction Colorado not too far from Grand Junction is Glenwood Springs and it's a mineral bath it's a natural mineral bath and and there are some healing properties to that but the people thought they would be healed and so this paralytic this cripple is sitting around the pool and Jesus comes up to him and says he's 38 years old he's been inflicted 38 years he's been inflicted and Jesus says whom do you want to get well and if you read that one way you think is that the harshest thing anybody ever said to someone can you imagine going up to a blind person hey you want to be able to see going up to someone in a wheelchair hey you want to walk I mean this is a little awkward do you want to get well and the guy goes yeah I want to get well but can't get in the pool people crowd in front of me that tells me a little bit of self-pity though just lay down and roll into it you know serious you sit beside it just fall over and keep rolling all right if they're in their way you're gonna roll over them you'll get in there you know sometimes when you're really down you're really hurting you're confused you're disoriented you don't know how to fix yourself you don't know how to get back up and you need help and Jesus was that help all right so he gave the paralytic help he healed him and then it starts talking about Jesus in John chapter 5 as the Lord of the Sabbath and you'll see this through all the gospels that the first he's really had a problem with Jesus breaking God's rules we have a problem when people break God's rules but what that's called is sin and what that means is the person's a sinner and I think the Bible says we're all sinners and so are we acting like we never break the rules we all break the rules it's just what does God do when we break them sometimes he disciplines us sometimes he makes us suffer the consequences sometimes he rescues us from those consequences sometimes he shows mercy and sometimes he lets things run their course but eventually he saves all right we don't go to hell we don't suffer all the consequence we don't get what our sins that should deserve do we okay and so whenever Jesus uses different approaches to people the Pharisees are like no way you should be following the law what do you mean David's disciples ate bread in the temple on the priesthood eating bread in the temple and Jesus is like hey David was hungry that day there's no in the bread he ate it get over it I'm Lord of the Sabbath my disciples went through the cornfield on the Sabbath they were hungry they broke off some corn they ate it get over it usually I tell them to have good manners to wash their hands before they eat they don't always you know these are fishermen even if you wash off the fish smell they still put stink so they just eat get over it it's only an outward cleaning anyway they just couldn't imagine it's okay to break a rule it's not okay it's just do you give them mercy do you fight that battle or do you move on to something else throughout the gospel John 5 16 through 20 Jesus says I'm the judge and then again in John 5 31 through 45 there's this list of testimonies all right and we'll we'll see what those are in a minute but I love I love this story of and just do do do a Bible talk on just that part and get people talking about it and then we got to turn it on ourselves do we want to get well or do we always want to have an excuse I'm from a dysfunctional family I got a reason to be dysfunctional all right I got a reason to be dependent on you and for you to help me all the time no we got the Holy Spirit in us we can be transformed and changed let's let's grow let's get strong let's get healthy let's get whole all right sometimes I do need a hand up I do need help but then the goal of all of us is to get well all right good stuff the bread of life who had to get to this sermon all right because this is the door that the exits are not the door we'll get the door sermon in a minute this is where Jesus says there's the door who wants to leave we beg people to come to church we pride people to come to church we feed people to come to church right and we don't want to run them off but Jesus sometimes preached the message in such a way where it just sounded too tough what always runs people off authority and commitment always runs people off you know we've we've taken our evangelists down a lot several notches in the last ten years because we felt like they had too much authority I don't know if they had too much authority they should use that authority in a good way but the Bible gives leadership authority all right gives dad's authority gives mom's authority all right but that bothers us you you tell me what to do are you telling me what to do who gives you right to tell me what's it do got my face we struggle with it see that stuff that goes in my head and I hardly ever say publicly I probably shouldn't even today all right but we struggle with authority and we struggle with commitment you know do what's right versus be sometimes we don't think it's doing what's wrong it's just not doing anything sin is when you know the good you're supposed to do and you don't do it it's sin and so Jesus feeds these guys we'll get into that Jesus claimed to be essential for life in this chapter Jesus demanded his followers to consume him that's commitment disciples must be totally committed and the grumbling was because of a called commitment here's the outline picnic motorized church in our altar call right sounds like a park service to me right he feeds 5,000 he has compassion on him he sees that they're hungry he says okay who brought a lunch only for his to bring the lunch is a kid you know five loads and two fishes she said well this isn't much to work with he's gonna be very small helping today all right and he says give it to me he buses it does the disciples to pass it out and the great thing about the story is they all ate till they were the Bible says satisfied satisfied and there were leftovers that's the generous God you and I serve he wants to just lay in on us until there's leftovers he does want to satisfy you he isn't a stingy God okay do you want another piece of bread no he spoils us and then it says there's what 512 I don't remember exactly left 12 either of course there's 12 there's always 12 apostles every apostle had to carry his basket away with food all right no it's the spiritual number John wants us to see that God just always has an abundance isn't that good stuff and so he feeds them but the sign points to something greater the sign feeding the 5,000 is supposed to point them to God is supposed to open up their heart to the truth so then Jesus takes the boat right across Peter walks on water amen and then he preaches this sermon on the bread of life man does not live by bread alone but by every word that comes out of the mouth of the Lord guys you don't live by physical things alone you got to feed your spirit you got to feed that inner being or if it dies you're dead you got to feed with God's word you got to eat truth you got to love truth all right and so Jesus preaching it and they're like I don't understand what you're saying they understood you know playing dumb I don't know what you mean bro did I do that are you saying today in the last hour have you done it you ever tried to I don't reason we kids I know with their guilty and I just say you're guilty if you ask them you're gonna go round and round and round right and so Jesus says to him he doesn't back off when they say you know this is a hard teaching he comes on even stronger you got to eat of my flesh and drink my blood first he just says you gotta eat the bread and they didn't like that he said aren't you Joseph's son Mary son who are you telling us aren't you from Nazareth aren't you a carpenter and Jesus says okay we're getting down to it eat my bread eat my body and drink my blood and then what they say towards the end is a hard teaching who can accept it from the loads of fishes we see we cannot fill ourselves oh you get you know sometimes evangelism was just waiting for people to get tired of trying to fill themselves and in California there's just so much pleasure that it takes people a while but eventually they're gonna not be satisfied with what they're doing themselves we can't fill ourselves and we give what you can to God that's giving the lunch and they got a multiply you give what you can and that God multiplies it and then satisfaction is from God the crowd all right I guess I should have put those up there for you the crowd says when did you get here after Jesus cross the the root the sea to the other side when did you get here and what does he come back and say to him you just want to free lunch I fed you one day now you want to want me to eat feed you again God's not into give give give give give in fact worship is giving back to God the consumerism in America teaches us go to church to be given to but worship is really going and giving back to God praising God the self-giving God that has given us Jesus we go in thanking for it it's an active gratitude is what worship is but we're not we're not grateful people we want more more more we're discontent people you know God you're not good enough you haven't blessed me enough I don't have enough I want more I want more I want more I want more and eventually God says if you're not content with what you got I'm taking away what you do already you gotta get grateful and that's hard I know it is especially when people around you seem to get more and they're not grateful at all right that's what David struggled with Psalm 73 I looked around and the wicked were blessed I seemed cursed it just didn't seem fair and it wasn't fair and I'm not hiking this I mean you just had his pity party and most pity parties you invite a lot of people and nobody comes with you except God and he'll show up and he'll say stop stop right and so then then they said well what must we do to do the work schedule said that I'm not giving you a free lunch and you got a belief all right and then they said well what miraculous sign are you gonna give to us Moses gave us man in the desert daily lunches and me so what are you gonna give us to get us to believe you they're so fixed on free how could why don't we get fixed on work Adam and Eve were created in the garden for work to be get caretakers of the garden we are so resistant to work and that's a fundamental deep-rooted problem in us and and God's never gonna change it guys we were created for work and if you're created for free I'm sorry all right because God's gonna teach you teach us hard lessons if we won't all right and so what miraculous sign will you give us our resurrect and bring you with me oh heaven stuff we want it now right not heaven isn't just good enough you know it's gonna be good enough when we get there when we're sitting there in judgment and we're hearing all the stories and we're realizing eternity is eternity we're gonna think wow life was short it was just a missed boy I'm glad I chose the right way you ever look back in your life said I'm glad I didn't do that oh my goodness I was bad and you guys love how bad I was makes me relatable huh and you don't even know the part of it but I wasn't worse I did make some good decisions I told you I have a brother to end up in prison I didn't end up in prison I learned from his mistakes all right make some good choices you with me there how can we eat your flesh and Jesus says the one who feeds on me will live and what was the response to this this sermon dessert some people only want dessert if you're gonna feed them meat you're gonna make them work hard mentally you're gonna challenge them you're gonna call them the commitment oh get it up there Greg they're you think they're gonna desert they're gonna be a deserter because they didn't get dessert all right and that was the crowd that's a little play on words I sometimes I crack myself up right some people were defectors Judas was a defector Jesus says that in the chat in this chapter verses 70 71 that when he didn't get what he wanted from Jesus he was good he decided he's gonna get something he's gonna get his pound of flesh all right and then the disciples what did Peter say in John chapter six just says do you want to go to there's an order I go to Peter says we gotta go you have the words to eternal life and that may sound like a hard teaching but I know for those of us been around 30 years there's been a few times in our spiritual as we said maybe I will go to the door maybe I'll leave but didn't you think about it for a while were you gonna go Jesus has the words of eternal life there's nowhere to go a dog returning to his vomit now I'm gonna keep heading towards a good fresh bowl myself all right disciples eat truth that's that's my saying make up a t-shirt will you let's start passing out t-shirts hope t-shirts eat truth t-shirts hi sisters won't wear it but some of the brothers will next time I'm here they won't have a shirt on eat truth in your face Satan I'm eating truth what's that shirt mean means I eat truth don't you eat truth I could tell you're anemic spiritually you don't eat truth persecution John chapters there seven this a good little outline liar Lord liar lunatic or Lord first few verses the accused Jesus of being demon possessed and anytime you're in an argument and it polarizes and people get personal and start bringing your mom ahead to it then they they lost the argument right and that's what these people couldn't argue scripture with Jesus and so they got personally started name calling all right and so they so what a persecutors do they seek to honor themselves they malign others character and motives they lie and attack genuine spirituality and they judge corny verse 24 by appearances and Jesus has stopped judging by mirror appearances and make a right judgment why was she's born in a barn why was he raised by a carpenter why did he have such a humble life so that it would contradict the criticisms of people and he was just in it to use people he wasn't in it he was a giver not a taker all right the persecutors they'll say anything and we all get persecuted everyone who got tries to live a God of life and Christ will be persecuted according to first Timothy him in all right that's that chapter next chapter chapters chapter eight you hanging with me it's a long book I'm just feeding it to you you have to go back over it all right but you're gonna get the big picture doing it the clothesline here Jesus is the light of the world and light exposes hypocrisy Jesus forgiving the woman kind of an adultery is one of the greatest narratives greatest stories in the Bible if you haven't been that woman that felt the death sentence for their sin that you're gonna be scarred for the rest of your life that you have a scarlet letter that you're an untouchable if you haven't felt that and read the story and just praised God I thought I'd be cursed with a bad temper my whole life my dad had a bad temper come to find out my grandpa had an uncontrollable temper my dad would lose his ever once in a while usually it was the brother right ahead of me the third in line that he'd lose his temper and beat and then that brother would turn around and beat me so I grew up hating him and hating my dad I hated my dad for years you live in fear for a while then that fear turns to hate and I learned to hate my brother who beat me and then you become a Christian you want to get rid of that you want to forgive and bosses forgive boy that's easy isn't it that just so easy took me years if grace was deserved it wouldn't be grace we wait to forgive we wait to give grace when we think they deserve it they've repented enough they've done a restitution they've changed enough no that in grace and so I love this story because I need grace and I need to give grace and if some of you feel like you haven't got much grace start giving some start giving some for a while there I was I was sort of angry where's my grace and God came back to me and says Greg give some give some I've been trying to give some this woman standing in front of a angry mob half naked could him to die expecting in the next few minutes to be stoned and you imagine the fright the shock the trembling the utter tear not fear utter terror this is death row and even the bitterness where's the man he should be here he's one of them could have been a fair see feeling great bitterness and unfairness and Jesus comes to the rescue and pardons have you ever just given grace to the total undeserving I hate it when I hear you know I don't give people who bag because they're just gonna go out and buy alcohol you probably don't give much to anybody do you I just give just give I picked up a drunk the other day this brother told me walked up and down the street and in the winter in Nebraska somebody walking about a mile to work that's taking your life into your own hands alright you can get hypothermia or or frostbite in a moment I went out shovels snow one day came back in and Ken said my nose was white you know edge of frostbite aren't you glad you live in Southern California are you grateful for that if nothing else be grateful for that when the traffic stinks be grateful you don't have to worry about frostbite alright so I pulled over I picked up this person and I thought it'd be a kid I thought it might even be the brother this this drunk old woman with no teeth got in my car and the moment she got in it smelled like alcohol with with stench so bad in a moment I'm like you need to rise I start watering yeah I'm going up to this gas station I said okay let's go and I go fly over there I drop her out and she gets out of the car and she's a little mentally ill and she stares at me and I like is she gonna thank me or what you know and she reaches in and she grabs my soda pop and runs off well she needed a drink for say you know I'd have given it to her you know just give grace I tell my wife about that she said you know Greg you got to watch picking up on your chikers me I'm a big guy you got to be pretty big all right and if I go I go all right you got a risk sometimes to love you had a risk I love the story Jesus said the one without sin be the first to throw stuff what do you write everything around you want a scholar to know to tell you right he wrote their names I think they wrote their sins that's opinion it's not recorded anywhere but I think he just looked around the group wrote down maybe you didn't have to write their names he just wrote sins they were reading whatever he was writing I tell you that and then they started walking away so it was something convicted amen white from heaven that's that's the next part of this chapter Jesus claims I'm the light of the world Jesus the key verses in there it is always does what pleases the father that's that's that's it could we do that could we try to always try to please the father and then the last part of it is that whole thing about he's challenging the Pharisees he's he's he's he's given grace to this woman he's preaching about pleasing God be in the light of the world and the Pharisees come up to him and said you know we've never been enslaved anybody oh yeah I just saw Roman soldier down the street I think your land is occupied right now even slaves to the Romans for about 50 years before that you're this little bitty country in the middle of all the world powers the Egyptians have enslaved you the Babylonians have enslaved you the Assyrians have enslaved you you know the everybody has enslaved you you're a trade route nobody respects you they trample you they abused you got Joseph's little bitty nothing country in the crossroads of the world to display his love and grace and they're so arrogant thing we've never been slaves to anybody as I said I've never sinned you know don't you love asking people specific sins anybody ever done this anybody ever done that and nobody raises their hands liars willy floors preach the Sermon once when I was in college he must said liar 30 times in that sermon I don't know what else the sermon was about but I know from that day forward I was a liar you know and my mama hated liars I'm she did my mom said I hate liars mom you're a sweet little lady you hate liars yes you hate me no Jesus always played the father and then and then Jesus says to him if you sin your slave to sin and a sin and a slave has no part in the family and they argued with him and they said we're Abraham's descendants we've never been slaves to anyone and Jesus says if you said you're slave to sin but if you'll accept the truth the truth is set you free disciples hold to the truth and they just argued with him don't argue with God that's a that's a lesson from that chapter don't argue with God especially when he calls you a sinner don't argue with him he'll give you grace if you don't argue and if you argue he's gonna squash you right all right woman kind adult dream we talked about that story in that a neat slide there with that heart that it's red even it just doesn't come through too good all right and then Jose I'm gonna finish I got a little ways to go but I got to tell this story picture with me you're going to an old country church a little white steep a little white wood church they're all over the Midwest picture yourself sitting there and seeing this just handsome incredible man so handsome you got a calling beautiful standing up there waiting on his bride and there's just a single center I'll and all of a sudden the bride walks in the music's plane and you're sitting your seat and you look at that bride and she starts coming down the aisle and she's limping and it makes you a little uncomfortable you think that poor thing must have accident she's limping and she gets a little closer and you see through her veil and you see her face is just tired and sad this just sad you look at her hands and her hands have been touching things shouldn't have touched in their scarred you look at her legs and their scarred and you're just yeah this terrible thought you feel so bad you're at the person's wedding you you should you should be complimentary you should be supported but the thought goes through your mind it's this this groom could have done so much better and you feel bad that you have that thought but you can't help but have that thought looking at this this bride walk down the aisle and you look back at the groom and think wow do you look at her and then she sees his eyes and she easily staring at her and all of a sudden she straightens them she brightens up and she starts to glow he has that effect on her and and he doesn't see this scarred and sinful and shameful and discouraged and down person she sees this pure bride glowing bride because he's looking at her through cross eyes and then you realize you're that bride you're not the judge in the seat feeling all superior you're that bride walking down before a groom Jesus and we see you you light up you're like the woman cutting adultery and you feel like hey there's hope I can be warning you I can be new and you're changed by the time you get out next to the altar you're different you're beautiful you're radiant you're the bride of Christ says what we are as the church that's what the word of God should do for us and it's because the Christ looks at us through cross blood stayed nice amen and so this woman kind of adultery reminds me of this verse in hosea God promises to meet me in the desert why that doesn't sound like a very romantic place so there's a lover to come out to the the desert well that's where they first met in the desert that's where the law was given so that's our first meeting place and he says I will betrot you I will love you I will commit to you I will marry you forever you got to find someone's gonna make that kind of commitment to you and that's what God has made to you I'm gonna love you forever and I will betrot you in righteousness I will always be fair to you I will be fair to you I will betrot you in an immediate even righteousness I will always love you nobody else I won't be impure I won't be a porno addict sex addict let me tell you something about addiction if any addiction drug alcohol cigarette sex it's an appetite feed it it grows star it it dies stop feeding the addiction it's what you get that's what Tiger Woods is hearing and if he doesn't stop his wife should boot him and take all the money and it might save his soul you think I'm being funny I was really trying to be serious because I want him to be saved seems like a cool guy seems like a guy that could teach me how to golf in heaven and that's gonna take a lot of work I shouldn't pick on Tiger he's no different than all of us all right I will betrot you in righteousness I'm gonna stay pure to you I will betrot you in justice I'll be fair to you I will betrot you in love that means that really means has it steadfast love or growing love I will change in my love for you as you change if you get old and ugly I'm still love you you get fat and ugly I'm gonna still love you you get sick and I got to take care of you I'm gonna still love you that's what that love is a steadfast love God's gonna love you that way and that better be the way you love your mate you hear me now Greg you're not teaching your preaching I can do both I'm a teacher I'm an elder I'm a doctor I can do what I want all right and then I leave town blow in blow up and blow out all right and I will betrot you in compassion in grace I'm gonna have grace to watch and he says and I will betrot you in faithfulness I will never leave your forsake you and then you will acknowledge the Lord I'm gonna help you get to heaven that's what a mate should do amen that's what my mate does for me without Kathy I would make it to heaven now my girls I wouldn't make it to heaven oh she's a good woman amen most people think she's a saint for having to live with me I think that's probably saint status I didn't I didn't see some state saints right here on the front row to some sinners I'd say mention no names faithfulness of the groom commitment forever for righteousness for justice for steadfast love for compassion and faithfulness simple description Gordon first and shares this you probably heard it before John 8 31 32 what's a true disciple all right to the Jews who had believed in him Jesus said if you hold to my teaching you're really my disciples and the truth will set you free and you will know the truth who set you free John 13 34 35 love one another's I have loved you and you must love one another for this by this omen will know your my disciples if you love one another John 15 8 which we're gonna get to this is my father's glory that you bear much fruit showing yourselves to be my disciples amen John chapter 9 you got to stay with me this is a good chapter it's tough it's lunch we got a true all right the parents can't the people the Pharisees came up to Jesus said here's a man born blind who sent him or his parents we always want to blame we always want to find guilt we always want to accuse it's a sinful nature and Jesus said neither he'll more his parents this happened that the work of God might be displayed in his life that is the same God makes bad things happen to people on purpose choices happen God set a world in motion it's a fallen world Satan makes bad things happen according to Job I blame Satan for the pain and the suffering and yes God allowed it because he's he hasn't intervened in this world yet for judgment so until he does he won't judge things he's gonna harvest the good and the bad someday but his power can be displayed in those things you know he can work all things together for good for those that love him and so that's a great story and then in John 9 13 through 34 there's this argument between Jesus and the the Pharisees and they the Pharisees are going around and they're saying you know who healed you who healed you and the guy says I don't know who healed me and then he runs in Jesus and he says okay you stay right here I found out who healed me you know and so that he wants to tell the Pharisees who healed him and Jesus keeps watering off because he knows the Pharisees gonna heal kill him all right so they get the Pharisees can friend his parents who healed this guy well you know we're not gonna get into that because you'll kill us if we tell the truth so just go ask him he's of age so they go back to the guy and said who healed you Jesus all right and they're arguing with him and he gets bold do you want to follow him too I like that part of the story and Jesus says at the end there John 9 verse 39 for judgment I have come into the world see that the blind will see and those who see will be blind guys do you see with the eyes of faith do you see through your hearts do you see truth see truth isn't a mental thing because I you came to a middle thing this this afternoon but really you came to a heart thing because you see truth through the heart and through the eyes of faith and then John 10 I tell you the truth who does not enter this is about the shepherd you know the story I have it listed there let's describe the shepherd all right here's the shepherd he protects he produces a home he holds any guards he has passion for the sheep he knows them and they know his voice and he cares for him and he provides a relationship and he provides pasture abundant life he feeds and he lays down his life what is this abundant life verse 10 the thief the stranger comes only to still kill and destroy strangers you're either a stranger or your shepherd choose what you're gonna be you are you can be a stranger to your wife you stranger to your husband stranger to your kid stranger to your co-worker you're gonna be one of the other you're gonna turn out to get shepherd in life are you gonna be a stranger and strangers is still killing destroy they use people but shepherds speak and people fall they give to others and they protect others all right that's what a shepherd does all right John 11 we're there grief death and dying all right Jesus listened and waited why didn't he go right away and heal Lazarus because he wants to display the worker God so that people would believe he waited and he listened he loved and he wept there's a time for all things according to Ecclesiastes there's a time to weep with other people don't talk so much I talked too much I have learned in visiting sick people they want to talk and they want you to listen and just be present and they even calling my daughters they don't want me to tell them answers they want me to listen I don't know how many times my daughters said that I didn't call you for advice I just want to let you know what's going on and I mister fix it she says it nicely the other one says dad all right she's tired of me not listening it's okay I love my kids help me all right Jesus prayed and he healed Lazarus who's raised from the dead and then they'd the because he healed Lazarus that was the key moment in this drama because he healed Lazarus the Pharisees decided to kill him if he has that kind of power we're gonna lose our power so that's why you should follow Jesus because he does have the power right to raise you from the dead and over and over through this gospel it's I'm from above and you're from below I'm trying to speak your language but we don't always connect because I speak a different language and Jesus came from heaven he gave us his teaching he sacrificed himself for us and they went back to heaven any other religious teacher in the world ever done that none of them they've all sat under a tree God enlightened and can tell you how to get to heaven they haven't even gone themselves how do you know they're there I don't think they're there all right but Jesus says I've been there I created the world I came down here I told you about it I've done a lot of signs I pointed to God and then the big sign is I died for you and then I was buried and to prove to you I'm gonna give you what I can do I'm resurrected on the third day I'm getting into Sunday's lesson now all right but that's why I'm a Christian the empty tomb we'll talk about that more tomorrow but Jesus raises from the dead all right he's the resurrection in life that's what that's about all right and what was the response in John 11 informed informed believers inform it to troublemakers there's some rats you know what Jesus did pair of seas he raised lacer so they came to kill Jesus to kill Jesus there it's just an ugly picture all right and so coronation the King chapter 12 we're wrapping up here gift fit for the King Mary's anointing that ticked you this off because he wanted that money he wanted that perfume he was gonna steal it
