Broadcast Title:

Born A King

 
Reference passage:  Colossians 1:15-23 (NIV)

The Supremacy of the Son of God

¹⁵ The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. ¹⁶ For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. ¹⁷ He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. ¹⁸ And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy. ¹⁹ For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, ²⁰ and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross.
²¹ Once you were alienated from God and were enemies in your minds because of^[a] your evil behavior. ²² But now he has reconciled you by Christ’s physical body through death to present you holy in his sight, without blemish and free from accusation— ²³ if you continue in your faith, established and firm, and do not move from the hope held out in the gospel. This is the gospel that you heard and that has been proclaimed to every creature under heaven, and of which I, Paul, have become a servant.

PRAYER:

Almighty God, receive us to yourself and humble us, that we might submit to your glorious reign and do the good things you call us to do, and live under your rule. For you are King of Kings and Lord of Lords and we thank you for this. We pray in the name of Jesus, our Lord. Amen.

Broadcast Notes:

God and Pleasure

 Today's Reading: John 2:1-22

1. Because Jesus knows me, He does not believe in me. Because He loves me, He gave Himself to save me.

2. Jesus says, "Truly, truly ...unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God."

3. Humans can only produce what humans can produce. I need what only God can do!

4. Jesus says that He is not a teacher come from God. He is God come to teach and save.

5. If the resurrection of Jesus happened, then who He is and what He says is vindicated. If He was not resurrected, what He says is garbage. 

6. I believe into Jesus, entrusting myself wholly to Him.

7. I entrust myself to Jesus and what He accomplished for me, and then: the penalty for all my my sin is paid, I am born from above, I receive eternal life, and I begin to know the uncreated, eternal, unfailing love of God.

8. In your "natural" state, you hate the light and love the darkness. So God gives you what you want and what you deserve, endless darkness. 

9. No one will have a valid excuse before God for rejecting Him. No one will be able to say that there was not enough light from God, or that He did not love us enough.

10. Jesus said, "For God so loved the world, that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life."
