11-20-16 Sunday Sermon: Jesus Only

11/20/2016

From Archives of Dr. J. Vernon McGee

Mark 9:1-8 - From Genesis to Revelation, the Bible points us to the person of Jesus. So as Christians, our focus should be on our one and only Savior, Jesus Christ.

"Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God."
Hebrews 12:2

✝️ 5-28-20, God's word has many encouraging promises to those who stand fast in their faith of the Lord □ Jesus. We're called 'Overcomers' - 1 John 5:4-5; Revelation 2:7, 3:21. Thank You, Lord.

Luke 17:25-27

1 Thessalonians 5:4; Mark 13:33

Mark 13:35-37

2 Thessalonians 2:10-12; Jeremiah 1:5; Galatians 6:7; 1 Thessalonians 5:4
Solomon 2:10-13

Locked: Daniel 12:4-9 Unlocked: Rev 22:7-17

Romans 13:11-12

✝️ 5-27-20, See Romans 13:11; James 5:8; 1 Peter 4:7; 1 Thessalonians 2:19; Titus 2:13; 1 Cor 15:51-52, Rev 11:15 Scripture tells us that "The coming of the Lord is at hand;" but thousands of years have passed without the Lord’s coming. We must remember that one thousand years are like one day to God (Psalm 90:4; 2 Peter 3:8). The rapture will happen without warning at any time and believers in the Lord Jesus must be ready at all time. Certain current events cause us to believe we are near the Lord’s trumpet call and that the rapture of the church is ‘at hand.

✝️ 5-26-20, There are those who refuse to believe in almighty God's miracles; they call them coincidences or just 'by chance.’ When the Lord performs His mighty deeds ... it doesn’t matter. Job 5:9; Jeremiah 32:37; John 2:11; Mark 9:23; Acts 3:16

✝️ 5-24-20, A rich ruler asked the Lord □ Jesus about heaven; he didn't like Jesus’ answer. We need to keep reading ... all things are possible with God. Matthew 19:23-26; Mark 10:17-31; Luke 18:18-30

✝️ 5-23-20, Our eternal destination is determined by each of us individually. We chose Hell when we reject Christ. John 3:17-18, 14:6; Romans 5:2; Ephesians 2:18; Hebrews 10:20

✝️ 5-22-20, Interesting that the Lord □ Jesus said at the 'LAST SUPPER' He'd drink wine with the Apostles again in His Father's kingdom. Another confirmation & validation of scripture & teaching that we will be with Him in glory. Hallelujah! Matthew 26:26-30; Mark 14:22-26; Luke 22:14-23; 1 Corinthians 11:23-34

utah333 ✝️ 5-21-20, Jesus, when He rebuked Satan three times said, "Get away from Me... thou shalt worship the Lord thy God!' Matthew 4:1-11; Luke 4:1-13; Mark 1:12

✝️ 5-20-20, Psalm 36:7 The Lord’s children take refuge in His Shadow.

utah333 ✝️ 5-19-20, No other Disciple of Christ had so many visions & revelations as the Apostle Paul & he isn't generous with his descriptions. So his report - when he was translated [aka raptured] - is sparse. Some believe it happened when he was left for dead after he was stoned at Lystra. [Acts 14:19] Whenever it happened it's encouraging to add his name to the list of the other five: Enoch, Elijah, Philip, John and Jesus. Next it'll be the 'Church.' More here https://bit.ly/3bIwuI1

✝️ 5-18-20, In 1634 AD Rembrandt's 'DOUBTING THOMAS' painting depicts the fact that disciple Thomas did not touch the risen Lord Jesus. Shame and shock is what's displayed when he exclaimed, 'MY LORD AND MY GOD!' And the admonition of Christ that those who've not seen still believe are blessed. John 20:24-29

✝️ 5-17-20, During these stressful times as the world struggles to understand believing they can fight against a virus; when the economy is falling everywhere ... I feel such pity for those who don't know the Lord □ Jesus. Surely they are most fearful. The Lord said if you only have faith as small as a tiny mustard seed nothing shall be impossible. Luke 13:3; Ma

✝️ 5-16-20, The Lord □ Jesus has an accepted time & hopefully it's soon! Even so, come, King Jesus. Revelation 22:20; Luke 4:18-19; 2 Corinthians 6:2

✝️ 5-15-20, So many scriptures speak to us about fearing, honoring & obeying God. Difficult to chose. The more we obey, the easier it becomes. Deuteronomy 4:24, 6:2; Psalm 15:4; Proverbs 14:27; Luke 12:5; Acts 9:31, 10:35; Revelation 14:7

✝️ 5-14-20, We should listen to our conscience & obey warning; it's our God given defense against sin & regret. [Acts 23:1; 2 Timothy 1:3; Hebrews 13:18] Unless of course our consciences have been disabled: 'those whose consciences have been seared [calloused] as with a hot iron." 2 Timothy 4:1-2

✝️ 5-13-20, What a wonderful vision the Apostle John had of the New Jerusalem. It is 1,500 miles square and 1,500 miles high. Almost the size of the United States. The Lord □ Jesus is the Light. Imagine no more wickedness. No more pain & crying. Revelation 21:1-2, 3-27, 22:1-5

✝️ 5-12-20, Because of God’s love, while we were yet sinners, the Lord Jesus □Christ suffered and died for us. It was God's plan for sinful mankind to repent trusting Him to save them; He could/can because He is God and arose from death. Thank You, Lord. Romans 5:8; Galatians 2:20

Malachi 1:14

5-11-20, Have you thought about how much of the Holy Scriptures are figurative language? God's 'feathers,' the Lord □ Jesus is the 'Door.' Psalm 91:4; John 10:7. Interesting.

✝️ 5-9-20, The Lord □Jesus had much to say about His return & the conditions of the earth in the end times. It’s indisputable; He gave a laundry list of what it’ll be like. Many think we’re in it now with the horrors caused by the govt shutdown over the Covid virus. Even so, Come Lord Jesus. Revelation 22:20; Luke 21:25-28, 36

✝️ 5-8-20, □ Jesus is the Light of the world. His born again disciples carry His Light. We are hated as He was hated because evil mankind loves wickedness and darkness. Example: Christian churches closed for Easter during covid scare; but Muslim mosques aren’t – New York giving them 500K free meals for Ramadan. Matthew 10:22; Mark 13:13; John 3:19, 9:5; Galatians 2:20

✝️ 5-7-20, Sins □ Jesus Harshly Condemns; He said, “God knows our hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God. V9 For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.” [Pride] Luke 16:15, 18:9-14; Hebrews 1:8-9

✝️ 5-6-20, In the Bible's book of Proverbs we are instructed that fools bring trouble to their families and evil doers will bow before the Wise. Proverbs 11:29, 14:19.

✝️ 5-5-20, In Book of Revelation there are seven churches addressed by the Lord King Jesus. He has special promises to all over comers. Revelation 1 and Revelation 12.

✝️ 5-4-20, How could you not run singing praises tof the Lord Jesus telling all what He had done cleansing his leprosy! Mark 1:40-45; Matthew 8:1-4; Luke 5:12-16

✝️ 5-3-20, It is widely accepted that the age of accountability is about twelve years. The Lord Jesus began teaching and displaying His glory at that age - sadly His Mother and step-father didn't know He'd begun while they were traveling and went missing for three days. Mark 6:1-6; Luke 2:41-49

✝️ 5-2-20, There are some scorners and scoffers who mock those who are Born Again in Christ. Sadly they must not read the scriptures - the Lord □ Jesus told us to marvel not that we must be born again. John 3:3, 7, 1 Peter 1:3

✝️ 5-1-20, All through the ages there have been wolves among the sheep in the Lord □ Jesus' flock. Beware. Acts 20:17, 28-30

✝️ 4-30-20, When the Lord □ Jesus Mother told her son that at the Cana wedding celebration there was no wine - I wonder if the Lord did little miracles around the house so Mary knew of His abilities expecting Him to quickly whip up some good wine. And He did! The Lord's first miracle on earth water into wine. John 2:1-11

✝️ 4-29-20, We learn the importance of loving God from Psalm 91 where Moses is blessed by God Who said: 'v9 Because thou hast made the Lord... the most High, thy habitation; v14 Because he hath set his love upon Me, therefore, l will deliver him & set him on high, because he hath known My name. He shall call upon Me & I will deliver him ... & shew him My salvation." Psalm 90:1, 91-14

✝️ 4-28-20, The Lord □ Jesus, in the book of Matthew, lists what’s called the “Beatitudes.” He lists the items in our lives in His 'Sermon on the Mount' that examine our values, vision & habits to wholehearted obedience to God. We seek His forgiveness & acceptance for eternal life with Him; this is the good news 'Gospel.' John 14:6; Matthew 5:1-48, 6:1-34, 7:1-28.

✝️ 4-27-20, In the days when □ Jesus walked the earth and healed all who came to Him ... imagine the horror of those who He healed who believed He was the Son of God as they may have watched their Savior brutalized and killed. Hopefully they were nearby 3 days later!! Hallelujah. Mark 16:1-20; John 20:1-31

✝️ 4-26-20, Seeing this wonderful painting of King Jesus with this beautiful child makes me think of all the innocent children who are now with Him in Heaven as their lives were brutally taken in abortion before they were officially 'born.' I imagine those millions of babies will be in the Lord's army when He returns in power and glory. Hallelujah! Revelation 19:11, 14

✝️ 4-25-20, □ Jesus gave His apostles some encouraging words about His leaving and preparing a place for them; in His Father's house are many mansions. Let not your heart be troubled. John 14:1-3

✝️ 4-24-20, As our springtime perennial flowers pop again [thank You Lord] I like to think of the Lord □ Jesus in a beautiful garden. And the New Jerusalem that the scriptures describe in the future of all born again believers. John 3:3,7; Revelation 21:21

4-23-20, We learn of God's command to write in a book in a vision when the Apostle John heard God's instruction ... especially the warning about those who will and won't inherit God's blessings ... those who will suffer His punishment. Thank You, Lord for the warning! Revelation 21:1-8

✝️ 4-22-20, Considering the harsh punishment God meted out in the Old Testament for blasphemy - why do people in the modern world now think it's perfectly permissible to disobey God's commandment #3 & blaspheme [deliberately & repeatedly] HIS HOLY NAME?? God will not be mocked [Galatians 6:7] there is judgment coming someday; He has a record book, keys to death & Hell. Revelation 1:17-20

✝️ 4-21-20, The enemies of the Lord Jesus accused Him of performing miracles with the help of Satan. HaHa ... Jesus explained that's impossible that the devil would fight against himself. Mark 3:22-27

✝️ 4-20-20, The Lord □ Jesus said we must obey Him else it's like we built our houses on sand that when rains come they'll be destroyed. Matthew 7:24-27; Luke 6:46-49; James 1:22; Proverbs 10:25 □□

✝️ 4-19-20, The Bible has 30+ scriptures displaying God's fierce focus on mankind knowing Who HE is; all with this truth: "I am God none else!" Isaiah 45:5

✝️ 4-18-20, As the world deals with the horrible danger of health and financial ruin ... Whom shall we fear? God is the ROCK of our salvation. Trust Him and be at peace. Psalm 62:6; Romans 12:18

✝️ 4-16-20, The next time Jesus Christ comes to earth He will be □ King of Kings □ & Lord of Lords. Hallelujah! Psalm 24:7; Revelation 17:14 □□

✝️ 4-15-20, Tithing 10% to God’s ministry is important. John and I knew that all we had belongs to Him. The more we gave back; the more we had. John 5:25; Mark 4:24; Malachi 3:10-12; Matthew 6:21; Luke 6:38 □□

✝️ 4-14-20, Based on the behaviors of some church goers; apparently they think God is like an old lenient Grandpa winking at deliberate unrepentant sin. Even sins that are done repeatedly with no remorse. Because the Lord God loves us so much, He generously warns us ... He has a book where names of forgiven sinners are recorded. Almighty God demands us to honor and obey Him. Revelation 1:18, 3:5, 20:1; Malachi 3:16 □□

The Lord God created all living things for His pleasure [Genesis 1:28; Colossians 1:16]. Amazing that so many people refuse to obey Him. God said we must repent or perish [Luke 13:3].
