******************************************* 

                   
 This program is sponsored by the Good News Christian Ministries:  
Rev. Don Crisp:

Today our theme is: 

 The Road of Temptation

(Deception - Desire - Disobedience - Death)

Reference Scriptures:

1 Corinthians 10:13  - (ESV)

13 No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.

Romans 5:20  ESV

20 Now the law came in to increase the trespass, but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more,

 _________________

 Genesis 3:1-7 ESV

The Fall

Now the serpent was more crafty than any other beast of the field that the Lord God had made.

He said to the woman, “Did God actually say, ‘You[a] shall not eat of any tree in the garden’?” And the woman said to the serpent, “We may eat of the fruit of the trees in the garden, but God said, ‘You shall not eat of the fruit of the tree that is in the midst of the garden, neither shall you touch it, lest you die.’” But the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die. For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise,[b] she took of its fruit and ate, and she also gave some to her husband who was with her, and he ate. Then the eyes of both were opened, and they knew that they were naked. And they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves loincloths.

'FOLLOW ME'

This week's broadcast is the sermon I gave at Church of the Messiah. 
The sermon was called "Follow Me" 
 It is part of my series, "Knowing Jesus: John's Intimate Biography"

"Follow Me"
  

Today’s Reading: John 21:15-25  (ESV)

Jesus and Peter

15 When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I love you.” He said to him, “Feed my lambs.” 16 He said to him a second time, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I love you.” He said to him, “Tend my sheep.” 17 He said to him the third time, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” Peter was grieved because he said to him the third time, “Do you love me?” and he said to him, “Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you.” Jesus said to him, “Feed my sheep. 18 Truly, truly, I say to you, when you were young, you used to dress yourself and walk wherever you wanted, but when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will dress you and carry you where you do not want to go.” 19 (This he said to show by what kind of death he was to glorify God.) And after saying this he said to him, “Follow me.”

Jesus and the Beloved Apostle

20 Peter turned and saw the disciple whom Jesus loved following them, the one who also had leaned back against him during the supper and had said, “Lord, who is it that is going to betray you?” 21 When Peter saw him, he said to Jesus, “Lord, what about this man?” 22 Jesus said to him, “If it is my will that he remain until I come, what is that to you? You follow me!” 23 So the saying spread abroad among the brothers[a] that this disciple was not to die; yet Jesus did not say to him that he was not to die, but, “If it is my will that he remain until I come, what is that to you?”
24 This is the disciple who is bearing witness about these things, and who has written these things, and we know that his testimony is true.
25 Now there are also many other things that Jesus did. Were every one of them to be written, I suppose that the world itself could not contain the books that would be written.

 NOTES:

Knowing Jesus: John’s Intimate Biography
Follow Me
John 21:15-25
  1. Jesus does not suck all of the oxygen out of your life. He is pure oxygen and eternal life, so that you can live whole and free.
  2. Jesus always walks towards your sin and your shame, to save you and to restore you.
  3. A Christian is an ordinary person who trusts Jesus as their Saviour and follows Him as their Lord.
  4. When you follow Jesus, even your suffering and death can bring glory to God.
  5. Jesus is speaking to you this morning as Saviour and Lord, and He is saying, “Follow me.”
