  • JOHN WESLEYS NOTES on the WHOLE BIBLE the NEW TESTAMENT by John Wesley
    JOHN WESLEYS NOTES ON THE WHOLE BIBLE THE NEW TESTAMENT by John Wesley PREFACE 1. For many years I have had a desire of setting down and laying together, what has occurred to my mind, either in reading, thinking, or conversation, which might assist serious persons, who have not the advantage of learning, in understanding the New Testament. But I have been continually deterred from attempting any thing of this kind, by a deep sense of my own inability: of my want, not only of learning for such a work, but much more, of experience and wisdom. This has often occasioned my laying aside the thought. And when, by much importunity, I have been prevailed upon to resume it, still I determined to delay it as long as possible, that (if it should please God) I might finish my work and my life together. 2. But having lately had a loud call from God to arise and go hence, I am convinced that if I attempt any thing of this kind at all, I must not delay any longer. My day is far spent, and (even in a natural way) the shadows of the evening come on apace. And I am the rather induced to do what little I can in this way, because I can do nothing else: being prevented, by my present weakness, from either travelling or preaching. But, blessed be God, I can still read, and write, and think. O that it may be to his glory! 3. It will be easily discerned, even from what I have said already, and much more from the notes themselves, that they were not principally designed for men of learning; who are provided with many other helps: and much less for men of long and deep experience in the ways and word of God.

In the Name of the Father and of the + Son and of the Holy Ghost. Amen. Prayer in Pulpit before Sermon: O Lord, send out Thy Light and Thy Truth, let them lead us. O Lord, open Thou my lips, that my mouth may show forth Thy praise. O Lord, graciously preserve me, lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be rejected. Amen. Grace, mercy, and peace be to you from God our Father and from our Lord and Savior + Jesus Christ. Amen. From the crowds rejoicing and cheering our Lord + Jesus into Jerusalem in yesterday’s Gospel, we are taken to our Lord’s suffering and burial. Indeed, we will be presented with our Lord’s Passion every day this week as we approach Good Friday and the crucifixion of our Lord on the tree of the holy cross for the atonement of the whole world and the justification of all those who cling to this work of Him in faith. We are taken to the death of our Lord + Jesus by Mary, the sister of Martha, and even more significant, the sister of Lazarus, who was risen from the dead by the Lord + Jesus. Mary takes us to our Lord’s death and burial, because she anoints the feet of our Lord with very costly—three hundred denarii worth—spikenard.

  • Meditations on the Seven Words Good Friday—April 18, 2014 at St
    Meditations on the Seven Words Good Friday—April 18, 2014 at St. Peter’s, Balaton The First Word—Luke 23:34 “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” Crucifying people was no easy job. Condemned criminals wanted to make things as difficult for their Roman executioners as they could. Soldiers routinely faced all kinds of attacks from their charges. The guilty would bite the soldiers carrying out their grim task. Kicking, punching, scratching and screaming these men went to their deaths, even though they knew they deserved their fate. After a while, the soldiers got smarter. To prevent unnecessary struggle, criminals’ arms and legs would often be tied to the cross to make the driving of the nails into the hands and feet easier. A drink of myrrh and aloes would be offered to the guilty. This was a drug designed to relax the prisoners and decrease their resistance. For two of the condemned on Good Friday, it was business as usual. But not for the one being crucified on the middle cross. Jesus was different, very different. The soldiers faced no resistance from him. Jesus would not bite his death squad. No cursing of the soldiers spewed from our Lord’s mouth. There would be no spitting in their faces or kicking and scratching as the soldiers tried to tie his hands to the cross. In fact, the soldiers would not need any ropes for Jesus. Quietly, without resistance, as a Lamb led to the slaughter before his shearers is silent, Jesus willingly laid down on his cross and submitted to the terrible agony awaiting him.

Becky Jones The third season of the hit Netflix series “The Crown” Was released a week ago, last Sunday. Anybody watched any of it yet? The series is a fictionalized account Of the life and reign of Queen Elizabeth, Starting with her marriage to Prince Phillip in 1947, And it’s projected to last Right on up to the present day. The third season opens in 1964, And will take us into the 1970s. It follows Elizabeth as she leads her country And her family through a series of crises. Had this been any other week but THIS week, When I’ve been more than a little distracted By yesterday’s festivities, I bet I would have binge-watched At least three or four of the episodes by now. As it is, I’ve only had time to watch the first episode, Which is entitled “Olding.” The title refers both to the queen’s reaching middle age, AND to a spy scandal At the heart of the British establishment. The episode opens with Elizabeth inspecting a new portrait of herself. It’s the image that’s going to be going onto the postage stamps. It will replace the image of the young princess. She’s now an older Elizabeth. The new portrait is supposed to convey a sense of majesty, The profile of a settled monarch. 2 But Elizabeth looks at it and the first words she says are “old bat.” But that’s how she looked.

  • The Way of Salvation by J
    The Way of Salvation by J. C. Ryle Where must a man go for pardon? Where is forgiveness to be found? There is a way both sure and plain, and into that way I desire to guide every inquirers feet. That way is simply to trust in the Lord Jesus Christ as your Savior. It is to cast your soul with all its sins, unreservedly on Christ—to cease completely from any dependence on your own works or doings, either in whole or in part—and to rest on no other work but Christ's work—no other righteousness but Christ's righteousness, no other merit but Christ's merit as your ground of hope. Take this course—and you are a pardoned soul. Says Peter "All the prophets testify about Him, that through His name everyone who believes in Him will receive forgiveness of sins." (Acts 10:43). Says Paul at Antioch, "Through this Man forgiveness of sins is being proclaimed to you, and everyone who believes in Him is justified from everything." (Acts 13:38). "In Him," writes Paul to the Colossians, "we have redemption through His blood, even the forgiveness of sins" (Col. 1:14). The Lord Jesus Christ, in great love and compassion has made a full and complete satisfaction for sin, by suffering death in our place upon the cross. There He offered Himself as a sacrifice for us, and allowed the wrath of God which we deserved—to fall on His own head! For our sins, as our Substitute, He gave Himself, suffered, and died—the just for the unjust, the innocent for the guilty—that He might deliver us from the curse of a broken law, and provide a complete pardon for all who are willing to receive it.

    1 Corinthians 2:14-4:13 Pt. 2 Charles Feinberg Feinberg: Christ Comes. Penetrating gaze. It's the testing fire of God's discernment. All will be judged according to God's standards. Not the world's standards and not any earthly government standards to see. What. Kind it is to see the quality that's of what sort. Literally each man's work is the word sort is important not how much it is. Notice that or how many deeds they are but of what kind. God always, hear it, God always looks on the heart. A skeptic once said to his dying fellow unbeliever. Hold on. Hold on. The awful answer was but what am I to hold on to. Going into eternity friends and nothing to hold on to is a frightful. Unthinkable predicament. May God protect you from that sinking and no foundation? Christ is the only foundation and bless God. It is a firm one and all we will ever need and verse fourteen says if a man's work is built on that foundation remains he's going to receive a reward. You see we've indicated that this is for reward and here's the proof of it. Believer gets the reward the reward isn't heaven or eternal life or salvation. Why that's not a reward that's a gift. We never did anything to get into heaven. Not anything to be the recipient of eternal life. Let's not get our scriptural details mixed up this salvation is not a reward.
