It is my objective to demonstrate that Jesus is more than just a man. I believe He is the Son of God, yes, God Himself - God incarnate - and I believe Jesus is of divine origin. I believe He came down from heaven. If that be so, why don't you believe Him?
Our society promotes physical size, agility, and athletic ability. Not all the time do those things bring success. Does size and weight determine a person's character and usability? Perhaps in sports, but when it comes to serving God, ANY child of God may loom large. My purpose is to look into this story and glean some points which might indicate we are giants in the eyes of God.
Sometimes people do not live up to the standards to which they claim. It is my objective to consider our text, along with other references, in the effort to remind you and me to walk in the Spirit; to do so, it will be necessary to have a sensitivity to the Holy Spirit.
It is my objective to cover the story found in our passage (vss. 5-13). There are things we may learn from this account. Yet, I desire to hone in on verse seven and notice why this is "music." But then, I would like to express a number of things found in the Bible, which may be "music to the ear."

When we think about our gifts, talents, and abilities, the amount of what you have doesn't matter, rather, what you do with it. If you control what is yours, you likely will do little with it. If you surrender the control of it over to Jesus, He can do what He wills. He might even feed a multitude!
Spiritually speaking, blood cleanses. Therefore, as we look into this text, let us examine its points and discover the real, effectual, cleansing power of blood. And, not just any blood, but the blood of Jesus.
I would like to talk to you about two men found in the Bible. It is my intention to trace their paths from the beginning of their Christian profession to the time of Jesus' death. Take notice of the great similarities between them. Notice the core difference which separates them.
Our text tells us about a woman who loved the Lord but had become anxious. It is my objective to look into the text and learn something about anxiety and worry. What does it mean? What lessons might we learn? How can we resolve our inordinate care?
My objective is to preach to you freedom. I intend to give an exposition of the text. Then, I shall offer some thoughts on the subject of freedom and its relationship to truth. Finally, I shall direct you toward spiritual freedom.
