Landmark Church

Today, we continue in our mini-series on the letters written to the church. Though these letters bring praise, correction and encouragement, they also speak to the common experiences of today's Christ followers. There is a promise at the conclusion of each letter by the Lord. This restoration given to anyone who has ears to hear what the Spirit is speaking to the church. What will be restored to those who overcome? This is what we endeavor to learn in this seven part series. 

Today, we begin a new mini-series on the letters written to the church. Though these letters bring praise, correction and encouragement, they also speak to the common experiences of today's Christ followers. There is a promise at the conclusion of each letter by the Lord. This is restoration given to anyone who has ears to hear what the Spirit is speaking to the church. What will be restored to those who overcome? This is what we endeavor to learn in this seven part series. 

In the 18th chapter of the gospel of John, we see the Religious Leaders demonstrate six symptoms of resisting Jesus. The resistance begins small and continues to escalate until there is absolute rejection of Jesus. It is so bad that the Religious Leaders do not recognize who it is that stands before them despite the teachings and miracles Jesus did.

As we continue in our study of the Gospel of John, we notice the resistance of the Religious Leaders who question Jesus' testimony. So, what were the signs and testimonies of those witnesses to the Lordship of Jesus. How can we use this information to Biblically witness to others? Also, how will the coming of the Light change our current life? All of this we will explore in today's message.

Today, we examine just how uncaring the Religious Leaders were and how little they cared for true justice. As we approach today's subject of ruthless control no matter the human cost, we see Jesus whose approach is beyond human understanding. What can we learn from the Lord's example? Who is ultimately in control and what is our role in moments of injustice?

When it comes to saying who Jesus is...there is many opinions and thoughts. Some of these are critical in nature as people attempt to discredit the Bible, Jesus and even God the Father. Today, we will see that this same spirit was very much involved when Jesus walked upon this earth. 

Today, we see a change of season in our Lord's life as He moves from rising in popularity with the Jewish people and begins a new season of conflict and misunderstanding. We examine the inner tension from the Lord's own family to the religious leaders that wanted to kill Jesus. 

Today, Taylor Murphy takes the pulpit for the first time and shares from John chapter 10, verses 1-5. There are four things that he identifies as blessings in following Jesus. There are thieves and robbers, however Jesus calls His sheep by name and they know His voice. Jesus then states they will not follow a stranger's voice. 

Today, we place our focus on what God calls us, not on what other people say about us, or what we think of ourselves, but how God views us. God has called us to Himself. We find our purpose in Him alone and without Him we are powerless. Today, we explore the writings from Isaiah and we will examine how God helps us.

Two very different men who had nothing in common with two exceptions...both were rich and both were "Outsiders". One man a National hero--the other a traitor, both needed something only Jesus could give them. What we will notice today is the path to redemption, healing and restoration is different for each of us.
