John 1:1-14
God became incarnate in Jesus, but Jesus—though uniquely God's child and God's incarnate Word—makes it possible for all of us to become God's children who embody God's word. Through Christ, our ordinary human lives can become places where God's glory shines. The Word became flesh to bring us all into God's family.

Micah 5:2 - Also Matthew 2:1-6
This is one of those places in the Old Testament where we see a specific promise that one would come from ancient days to be born in Bethlehem. This is a clear picture of the promise of Jesus. And not just that he would come, but where he would be born.

Dealing with temptation

Sunday Nov 26, 2023
Mattherw 4:1-11
describes Jesus' temptation in the wilderness. After 40 days and nights of fasting, Jesus faces three temptations from Satan. Each one attempts to lure Christ into abusing His power; to take immediately what God the Father has promised to provide later.
Turning stones into bread, bowing to Satan, and putting God to the test were the three temptations with which the Evil One thought he could win over Jesus. Scripture records that Jesus never gave into the temptations and Satan was defeated.

Bearing shame and scoffing rude
Sunday Nov 19, 2023
Sunday Nov 19, 2023
Genesis 3:1-13, Matthew 27:27-31, Genesis 2:16-17,Genesis 2:25
Satan disguises himself and waits for opportunities to tempt us to sin. Knowing the Word of God is essential to defend against Satan's lies. Adam and Eve were tempted because they desired to experience more than God had allowed. Sin and shame breaks fellowship with God and separates us from His presence.
Matthew 27:27–31 describes Roman soldiers abusing Jesus inside the governor's headquarters. Most of this mistreatment occurred before His final sentencing, but Matthew continues to group events by theme more than by time. The soldiers strip off Jesus' clothes and dress Him as a mock king.

Luke 5:17-26
Jesus is teaching a large group of people in His home in Capernaum (Mark 2:1). Although Luke already recorded the conflict Jesus experienced in His hometown (Luke 4:16–30), this is the first time he mentions antagonism between Jesus and the religious leaders, specifically Pharisees and scribes.
Pharisees asked the crucial question about Jesus: “Who is this man?” (5:21). The fact that He could speak the word and heal this paralytic should have answered their question: He is God in human flesh.

1 John 5:6-15
(14-15) This is the confidence which we have before Him, that, if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests which we have asked from Him. These verses offer one of the Bible's best definitions of prayer.
