The Word Transfer: Recent Episodes
Has God cast off Israel- Has he replaced Israel with the Church of Jesus Christ- Did God speak of these things through His Prophets in the Old Testament- Will the Church go through the Tribulation under the allegorical name of -Israel------Does salvation rest on Sovereign Election or the responsibility of man- And what about His gifts and calling- Does he change His mind- If so, does that mean the Church has replaced Israel in God's promises and long term plan of redemption-----And just where do you fit into all of this- It's all here in a very passionate message driven by the love our Rescuing God-
Getting the Gospel right. Can you take Him as Savior now to get forgiven and then make Him Lord later- What do you think- What does your family think- What do your friends think- The answer to this question is of enormous eternal consequence.----Perhaps you have loved ones who really need to hear this message. Now, today before it is too late. Those who prayed a prayer once and have lived in unbroken sin ever since manifesting no fruit of real salvation. Prayerfully consider emailing this message to one or a number of them.----Let us do all we can, any way we can, any where we can, with whomever we can, for as long as we can...----One flaming heart ignites another.
Rom 9-13 As it is written, -Jacob I have loved, but Esau I have hated.-----This message will explain this verse to you. A verse that is so misused, so abused, so often strikes fear - anger in the heart of sincere Christians... and more...----The message gives the broad panorama of God's plan of salvation showing how God's Word cannot fail.

Are you already turning to outside stimulants to give you -a boost------Many do, only to find things get worse.----So it is we find these words here in Galatians 6-9.-----And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.-----If this message helps you, email it to a loved one whom you know for a fact has grown weary in doing good, and needs the encouragement. It may arrive just in time before they totally give up.----There is practical guidance and refreshment here for the weary soul and tired heart.----May God encourage you to know you are not alone, and He stands ready to bring the strength and renewal you desperately long for.
This message is all about knowing the full extent of what Christ has done for us in saving us. Knowing Christ's work and reckoning it true, to use the words from the passage. It about the death of the old man, the amazing birth of the new man. We see how salvation is not just justification it is also transformation issuing forth in sanctification.----There is much to enlighten you and set you free in your life with Jesus Christ.
1 Pet 2-5 you also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.----We continue to search out the meaning of this amazing text so often glossed over in personal reading and public teaching. In this message we discover just what it means to be a N.T. -Holy Priesthood.-----We tend to use these words and phrases as Christians with very little understanding of the gravity they hold. Hence they bring very little grip and growth to our lives. Let's find out what this means and grow because of it-
From the moment we come to Christ there is a radical transformation in our lives.--We immediately begin the process of becoming like Him. This the where the life of God in the soul of man becomes marvelously evident.
1 Pet 2-4 Coming to Him as to a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God and precious,----In this message we do more spade work in simply coming to understand what this verse means. Specifically -Coming to Him as a living stone...-----If you do not understand this. You cannot understand the richness of 1 Peter 2-4-10. And what a great understanding it is. With great application for our everyday lives.
It will take several messages to mine the gold of 1 Peter 2-4-10. Here is the outline for this and the upcoming messages.----I. THE BELIEVER'S CHRIST--II. THE BELIEVERS COMMUNION--III. THE BELIEVER'S CAPACITY--IV. THE BELIEVER'S CONFIDENCE--V. THE BELIEVER'S CONTRAST----1 Pet 2-4 Coming to Him as to a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God and precious,----1 Pet 2-5 you also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.----1 Pet 2-6 Therefore it is also contained in the Scripture, -Behold, I lay in Zion A chief cornerstone, elect, precious, And he who believes on Him will by no means be put to shame.-----1 Pet 2-7 Therefore, to you who believe, He is precious- but to those who are disobedient, -The stone which the builders rejected Has become the chief cornerstone,-----1 Pet 2-8 and -A stone of stumbling And a rock of offense.- They stumble, being disobedient to the word, to which they also were appointed.----1 Pet 2-9 But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light-----1 Pet 2-10 who once were not a people but are now the people of God, who had not obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy.
I. THE DEPTH OF THIS TASTING--II. THE DUTY OF THIS TASTING--III. THE DESIRE OF THIS TASTING----1 Pet 2-1 Therefore, laying aside all malice, all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and all evil speaking,--1 Pet 2-2 as newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby,--1 Pet 2-3 if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is gracious.
In this refreshing non-clich- look at fervent love, whether it be all the way out to the mission field or on the usher team at your church, the focus will be on 3 things.----I. THE APPEAL for fervent love--II. THE ABILITY for fervent love--III. THE ANTICIPATION of fervent love----1 Pet 1-22 Since you have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit in sincere love of the brethren, love one another fervently with a pure heart...
The motivation of our hope is a very powerful thing. The potential of a truly Christian mind is an awesome thing. The holiness cultivated in our lives is an extremely influential thing.----We find this and more in the text before us.----1 Pet 1-13 Therefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and rest your hope fully upon the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ---1 Pet 1-14 as obedient children, not conforming yourselves to the former lusts, as in your ignorance---1 Pet 1-15 but as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct,--1 Pet 1-16 because it is written, -Be holy, for I am holy.-
This message completes our 5 part series on -Salvation Joy in a Suffering World.-----Written to suffering Christians,P eter reaches deep into his vast understanding of all that God has done for us Christ now, and will do in heaven. Hence enabling - equipping us to face the suffering that inevitably comes our way as we travel to heaven. Specifically to face it with the salvation Joy imparted to us by Jesus Christ Himself.
Never forget the Shield of Faith is part of the full armor of God- Have you ever wondered how real your faith is, or just how much you really have- How about this... wondering if you even have any-----Knowing the genuineness of your faith and just how strong it actually is, will snap you into a spiritual reality that can revolutionize your Christian life.----Let's get real. Knowing you have rock solid faith the size of a baseball will do you endless spiritual good. Yet, consider the deception, confusion and defeat that comes from thinking you have faith the size of the moon-----This message is designed to sort out those issues.

Or email them the link. We really need each other in times of hardship, that we might comfort one another in love.----Not one of us like trouble, yet it is inescapable. Through the work of the Holy Spirit our God brings to us deep benefits out of our troubles and pain.----C.S. Lewis put it so well when he said,---God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our consciences, but shouts in our pain. Pain is His megaphone to rouse a deaf world.-----Are you going through trouble - pain right now- This message can permanently alter your perspective on it all. Enabling you from this day forward to find much more joy in this world so full of suffering.
In this message we pick up in 1 Peter 1-5. This is the 1st in number of messages focusing on the unique work of God in our hearts, as we live our lives in the midst of a suffering world.
This is the final message in the Lazarus Plan series. All 4 previous messages have been leading up to this. Each bringing out mandatory details so often ignored in the rush to get to the raising of Lazarus from the dead. Mandatory to gain the full impact of what Jesus plan was from the moment he received the news Lazarus was sick. Taken as a whole these 5 messages reveal--such powerful fresh revelation on the heart of Christ and the ways of God.----We pray you will take the time to listen to each message and come away with a fresh insight, love, appreciation--and gratitude for the ways of God as He works in your life. With many long term questions answered. ----If this message - this series has ministered to you, feel free to leave a comment or pass it on by email to a friend.
On His way to raise Lazarus from the dead, our Lord takes Martha and Mary aside to minister to them privately in their deep grief over their brother's death.----This message is full of application to anyone who has to cope with the death of a loved one.----There is no comfort to be found on this earth equal to that which Christ alone can bring in these times.----This is especially critical considering that the effort of friends - certain family members can often make you feel worse with words that fall woefully short-----In our most painful time of loss there is no replacement for the private, intimate comfort of Jesus through His Holy Spirit, whom he called The Comforter.----If this message ministers to you feel free to leave a comment or email it to a desperately hurting friend.
This message is full of many genuinely surprising fresh insights.----One out of many is whether or not -doubting Thomas- has been give a bad rap and should for a plethora of reasons be rather looked upon as -devoted believing Thomas.- That alone will have you thinking many fresh delightful thoughts in the days ahead.----Join us for a thought provoking, challenging, encouraging message, sure to send you away with an overflowing cup. And a greater love - appreciation for our Lord - Savior, Jesus Christ.
Anytime God is doing one significant thing, He is doing many significant things attendant to that.----This message begins a 5 part series on the life changing lessons Jesus wanted to teach through the sickness and eventual death of his very close personal friend, Lazarus. This is brother of his dear friends Mary - Martha.----The chapter is often taught in one message. But in real time it happened over a period of days. By slowing down--we can focus on plethora of lessons Jesus wants to teach during this time.----The Positioning, Preparation, Arrival, Miracle and Results across these days are all used in the end to prepare the masses at passover to receive the arrival of the Son of God.----In a time lacking all the technology - news media of our day, the raising of Lazarus is used as the ultimate -press release- by God supercharging all of Jerusalem with anticipation - expectation.----Every step leading to this is packed with instruction. Hence the mandate for the 5 part series.----Stay with us for each one. And receive the many rich, surprising -life-changers- from our Lord along the way.----If you are blessed by these messages, feel free to leave a comment or email a friend.
The message opens with a definitive look at the abundant life. We see it is found only in Jesus Christ and is manifested by Him in our innermost being. Thus having a very real affect on the circumstances of life around us.----Moving on we see the various responses to the teaching of Jesus. What he had taught to this point was crystal clear.----1. DEDICATION CAUSED BY HIS LOVE--2. DIVISION CAUSED BY HIS MESSAGE--3. DOUBT IN SPITE OF HIS CLARITY--4. DEVOTION TO HIS VOICE----What is are your responses to the one who is Clearly The Good Shepherd-
Having revealed Himself as the Good Shepherd, Jesus continues to reveal the nonnegotiable truth that He is the way to eternal life. The analogy of the Shepherd and the sheep is both warm and extremely familiar to his audience.----He now moves from the analogy of the communal village sheep fold with an entrance that was an actual door, to the open air countryside sheepfold, where the shepherd himself was the -door.- As such the shepherd, the actual individual, was the only way in.----Hence, we read these powerful words before us.----John 10-7 Then Jesus said to them again, -Most assuredly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.----One is immediately reminded of the Apostle Paul framing the doctrine of salvation in Timothy's mind.----1 Tim 2-5 For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus...----This is a message that answers questions people are asking. May God bless you abundantly as you listen.----If the Lord really speaks to you in this message, consider taking a moment to leave a comment or email it to a friend or loved one.
As Jesus reveals Himself to be the Good Shepherd, the careful reader - listener will find insights to true salvation enlightening the mind and enriching the soul in a way unique to this passage.----This Good Shepherd passage is a true gift from God through John to us all. One worth going over and over, yielding insights which truly strengthen - bless our relationship with Him.----And for those who think they know Him but do not, Jesus wants to speak directly to you, that He might truly save your soul bringing you into an intimacy with God you never dreamed possible.
This is the 1st of a series of messages in John 10 on the Good Shepherd. There is very fresh insight here on the ways of God. And lots of it from the lips of our Lord.----Danny Bond looks at a passage very familiar to us here... or is it- And just how important is this passage as it relates to our daily relationship with God and all of eternity- Let's find out as we slow down and discover a passage that almost stands alone... right up there with Psalm 23.----John 10-1 -Most assuredly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door, but climbs up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.--John 10-2 -But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.--John 10-3 -To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice- and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.--John 10-4 -And when he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them- and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice.--John 10-5 -Yet they will by no means follow a stranger, but will flee from him, for they do not know the voice of strangers.-
Facing willful unbelief in friends, loved ones and co-workers after coming to know the love of Christ can be very hard.----For the new or uninstructed Christian it helps to know a few things in advance that will save us some pain and prepare us to know how to lovingly respond.----Willful Unbelief-----A. IS VERY COLD----B. IS DIVISIVE----C. IGNORES THE FACTS ABOUT CHRIST----D. ALWAYS SEEKS MORE PROOF----E. IS EGOCENTRIC----We will be examining these points in this message. You likely know a friend who could be helped by this. Pray about passing it on.
How can you not absolutely fall in love with this passage in John chapt. 9- Truly there is -power in the details- of this account.----For you who love to meditate on Jesus. Think fresh thoughts about Jesus. This passage is for you- Think about Jesus passing through a mob bent on murdering him. Rather than running for his life, he pauses to heal this blind man right outside the temple. Amazing----- J. B. Phillips, the author of one of the modem para-phrases of the Bible, sensed this keenly in his translation work and has written of it.-- -I had deep respect, indeed a great reverence, for the conventional Jesus Christ whom the Church wor-shipped.-- But I was not at all prepared for the unconventional man revealed in those terse Gospels. No one could possibly have invented such a person- this was no puppet-hero built out of the imaginations of adoring admirers. 'This man Jesus,' so briefly described, rang true, sometimes alarmingly true. I be-gan to see now why the religious establishment of those days wanted to get rid of Him at all costs. He was sudden death to pride, pomposity, and pretense.-- -This man could be moved with compassion and could be very gentle, but I could find no trace of the 'Gentle Jesus, meek and mild.' He was quite terrifyingly tough, not in a Bulldog Drummond-James Bond sort of way, but by the sheer strength of a unified and utterly dedicated personality.-- He once -at least- walked unscathed through a murderous crowd. I have known a few, a very, very few, men who could do that. But then I find that this sheer strength was still His after hours of unspeakable agony in the garden of Gethsemane.-
Look at these two verses.----John 9-4 -I must work the works of Him who sent Me while it is day- the night is coming when no one can work.--John 9-5 -As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.-----Now read the first 2 word in verse 4. -I must...- Coming from the lips of the son of God... think about it. -I must...-----Now read the first 10 words in verse 4. -I must work the works of Him who sent Me...- Think about it for a minute. Now apply this to your own life. -I must... must work... the works of Him who sent me.- That really preaches itself.-----I must.- God help us to come under the grip of those two words.----Listen and see how it all unfolds. Then be ready to go to God with a -bent knee, a broken heart and wet eye.-----I preached this message on August 5th 1998. It is December 2013. And right now 15 years later, I feel the grip of those words. Just as our Lord did in His brief time on earth, setting the example for us all. It is my prayer those words will have the same affect on you as you listen.-----I must work the works of Him who sent Me... as long as I am in the world...-----Danny Bond December 2013
It's going to take us more than one message to plum the depths of what is here. The subject of suffering is to important to -gloss over.-----For those of you who are going through suffering you never dreamed God would allow in your life, there is great comfort and practical help for you in this message. We'll start here - continue next time.----For your benefit we will focus on these issues concerning suffering-----1. WE ARE GOING TO SUFFER----2. WE ARE PRONE TO FALSE ASSUMPTIONS----3. THERE ARE NO CANNED -COOKIE CUT---ANSWER-S TO SUFFERING----4. WE ARE SAFE IN GOD'S ALLOWANCE OF SUFFERING IN OUR LIVES.----None of us want to suffer and it is so hard to deal with why God allows it. But the fact is He does. So somewhere along the line we have to embrace this truth. The sooner the better. For then, the sooner we can rest in God's will.----The prayer of Ole Hallesby is helpful on the heels of the above thought.-----Lord, if it will be to Your glory, heal suddenly. If it will glorify You more, heal gradually- if it will glorify You even more, may your servant remain sick awhile- and if it will glorify Your name still more, take him to Yourself in heaven.-----May God the Holy Spirit give you ears to hear and heart to embrace, what he has for you in this message.
The Outline for this message-----I. THE GREAT PROMISE--II. THE DEVILS TOOL--III. THE GREAT I AM--IV. THE HIDDEN SAVIOR----The text-----John 8-51 -Most assuredly, I say to you, if anyone keeps My word he shall never see death.-----John 8-52 Then the Jews said to Him, -Now we know that You have a demon- Abraham is dead, and the prophets- and You say, 'If anyone keeps My word he shall never taste death.'----John 8-53 -Are You greater than our father Abraham, who is dead- And the prophets are dead. Whom do You make Yourself out to be------John 8-54 Jesus answered, -If I honor Myself, My honor is nothing. It is My Father who honors Me, of whom you say that He is your God.----John 8-55 -Yet you have not known Him, but I know Him. And if I say, 'I do not know Him,' I shall be a liar like you- but I do know Him and keep His word.----John 8-56 -Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day, and he saw it and was glad.-----John 8-57 Then the Jews said to Him, -You are not yet fifty years old, and have You seen Abraham------John 8-58 Jesus said to them, -Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM.-----John 8-59 Then they took up stones to throw at Him- but Jesus hid Himself and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.
After our last message, Jesus is still not through with the hypocritical Jewish leaders and they are by no means through with Him...----This is one of those intense, gripping, eye opening passages in which John excels at communicating the recalcitrance and flat out rejection of a religious person toward Jesus Christ Himself. All with a long term exposure to the scriptures and the preaching and teaching of Christ.----These are the religious -many- on the broad road to destruction today. Thinking they are on the road to heaven.
Here we are face to face with one of the great -I Am- statements of Jesus Christ. The promise He gives is both radical and completely life changing-----John 8-12 Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, -I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.-
As we see the consistent sensitivity to God's timing in the life of our Lord Jesus--Christ, there is much practical wisdom and instruction to be gleaned for us.----We tend to live like we have all the time in the world. Jesus never for even on day lived like that. This is especially a theme John brings to the surface through out his gospel.----Our Lord always kept his eye on the ultimate plan of God for His life and used his time accordingly.----John 2-4 Jesus said to her ...... My hour has not yet come.-----John 7-6 Then Jesus said to them, -My time has not yet come----John 7-30 Therefore they sought to take Him- but no one laid a hand on Him, because His hour had not yet come.----John 8-20 These words Jesus spoke in the treasury, as He taught in the temple- and no one laid hands on Him, for His hour had not yet come.-------John 12-23 But Jesus answered them, saying, -The hour has come that the Son of Man should be glorified.----John 13-1 Now before the feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that His hour had come that He should depart from this world to the Father, having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the end.----John 17-1 Jesus spoke these words, lifted up His eyes to heaven, and said- -Father, the hour has come. Glorify Your Son, that Your Son also may glorify You.----John gives us a marvelous gift in uniquely--pointing out our Lord's concern for the timing of the Father in His life.----Join us as we continue on this journey together through the Gospel of John. We encourage you to invite a friend, or a home group of friends, to listen with you. May God bless you abundantly as you listen.
This is definitely in the top ten questions many people have about the Bible.----That being said, let us realize, there is is no such thing as -drive-thru depth- in teaching the Bible or listening to it being taught.----The question of -Why did Jesus Choose Judas- is one we have all wrestled with. For many that has been a question mark in your mind for years. Danny is about to answer that question.----Be patient and listen closely as Pastor Danny get's us back into the text from last time and prepares our hearts to receive the answers we've been waiting for.----The patient listener will be rewarded with lasting nuggets of truth as this message unfolds.----You might want to invite a friend, or a home group of friends, to listen to this message with you. This is a great way for you to be used by the Lord to spread His Word to the unsaved or to an unfed hungry Christian's heart. May God bless you abundantly as you plow deep into the life changing Word of God.----We are delighted to make available our Word Transfer podcast in iTunes through Sermon Audio.

Without question one of the most important passages in the whole of the Bible.----It is literally packed with application, enlightenment, and most importantly how the Holy Spirit brings salvation and how to make sure you have it.----Here are so many people, who listening to the pointed -make up your mind time- call to real conversion, by Jesus Christ, who now understanding what it's really all about, reject Him-----One is instantly reminded of the people in Hebrews 6 who after full exposure to the saving gospel and coming to a complete understanding, reject Jesus Christ. Leaving no other way of salvation to such individuals.--Heb 6-4 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted the heavenly gift, and have become partakers of the Holy Spirit,--Heb 6-5 and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come,--Heb 6-6 if they fall away, to renew them again to repentance, since they crucify again for themselves the Son of God, and put Him to an open shame.--Heb 6-7 For the earth which drinks in the rain that often comes upon it, and bears herbs useful for those by whom it is cultivated, receives blessing from God---Heb 6-8 but if it bears thorns and briars, it is rejected and near to being cursed, whose end is to be burned.----There is so much here a brief overview cannot to justice to what is in this message. The best thing to do is to sit down and listen to the whole thing yourself. Honest before God as to how it all applies to you personally.
The truth about how the Roman Catholic Church has twisted the words of Jesus Christ in this passage, into a heretical teaching and practice. And, the millions of people mislead by a wrong view of the Lord's Supper, leading to a wrong view of the cross of Christ, and a wrong view of salvation. This is a very very very critical serious eye opening message.----Straight talk, to be heard by every Christian and shared with every Catholic friend.
We are taking two messages to examine this well known -I Am- statement from Jesus. -I am the Bread of Life.-----Certain passages in the Bible have very familiar phrases in them. To the degree that almost all of us know them. They are for the most part eventually nothing more than part of our -Bible Talk- or what we could call -Christian Speak.- Bluntly put, cliches.----But ask yourself honestly, -How many of these cliches do I understand to the point they affect my daily living - thought life------It is for this reason Pastor Danny takes time to give two messages. When a powerful truth is nothing more than a popular cliche, it can be very difficult to take it well beyond that to -fresh learning that leads to fresh living.-----But isn't it true, that this is one of the most fabulous experiences we gain when the Word is rightly taught-----Join us as we continue on this journey together through the Gospel of John. We encourage you to invite a friend, or a home group of friends, to listen with you.

The Bible tells us in 2 Corinthians 13-5 -Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith- test yourselves.-----This is in a huge way, what Jesus Christ is saying here to a multitude who were -following- Him. Heaven - Hell--are absolute realities to Him. Are they to you- What are your motivations-----So many people -seek- or -follow- Jesus Christ for all the wrong reasons. Their motivation is wrong. Their desires are wrong. As a result, the idea they have that they are going to Heaven is wrong-----These people followed Jesus for the -stuff.- He puts that very plainly to them, -Jesus answered them and said, -Most assuredly, I say to you, you seek Me, not because you saw the signs, but because you ate of the loaves and were filled.- John 6-26----Are you following Jesus for the bread- the stuff you can get along the way- Or are you following Him because He is The Bread of life- The only way into Heaven and the only way to true eternal satisfaction-----Listen to this message and ask yourself--why YOU are seeking Jesus...----You might want to invite a friend, or a home group of friends, to listen with you today.

Have you been hit by the greatest storm in your Christian life- Do you find you are repeating -I can't do this, I'm not going to make it, this is too much for me,- over and over and over-----That, frankly is not at all uncommon in the Christian life. You say, -Wait, this is the worst storm I have ever been in----Did you ever pause to consider what got you to this point-----Obedience. You are in the midst of overwhelming circumstances, you don't even understand, precisely because you obeyed God, specifically.----Why is all this confusing thought so important- Because it has a distinct pattern to it. And most likely you have never figured that part out. In truth, the average Christian never figures this pattern out...----If ever there was a case where the truth will set you free it is here in this message, -Lessons From Unavoidable Tests.-----There is a booklet written by Danny Bond--you will see available as you listen entitled, -The Way Out is Forward.-----To quote Danny Bond, -Hands down, this is one the most life changing messages I have ever preached or written about. It has never left me since I first preached it in 1996 all the way to right now in 2013. I have learned from this passage and message, truly The Way Out is Forward------Tell a friend about this unique in-depth journey we are enjoying through the Gospel of John here on The Word Transfer with Danny Bond at www.SermonAudio.com----You might want to invite a friend, or a home group of friends, to listen with you today. This is a great way for you... to be used by the Lord to spread His Word to the unsaved or to an unfed hungry Christian's heart.
WE NOW BEGIN THE GOSPEL OF JOHN VOLUME 2.----Before us we have some of the most well love passages in all of the Bible.----We begin with one of the very best. The Feeding of the Five Thousand.----It's amazing what our Lord can do with a boys lunch. There are literally lifetime lessons to be learned in this message.----Wow.

Danny runs out of time on his 3rd point -The Witness of Scripture.- ----Picking up where he left off, Pastor Danny ends up giving us what is now the 5 part series -Christ in the Old Testament.- An extremely eye opening--study.----That series officially completes GOSPEL OF JOHN VOLUME 1.----After this message before us now, we refer you the series CHRIST IN THE OLD TESTAMENT... to complete Gospel of John Volume 1, with a total of 40 messages.----John chapter 6 will begin Gospel of John Volume 2.----Tell a friend about this unique in-depth journey we are enjoying through the Gospel of John. ----We encourage you to invite a friend, or a home group of friends, to listen with you.

This message is the last installment in a 4 part look at the Deity of Jesus Christ. Here we see His power to give life - The Judge of all men.----So often people say, -Jesus never claimed to be God...- These have obviously never read John 5-17-30 where the claims Jesus makes are absolutely monumental.----John's gospel was written that we might know that Jesus is God. This is one of those passages where we gain so much understanding toward that end.----A passage with 7 different proofs of the Deity of Jesus Christ deserves more than one pass. Hence we will spend 4 messages screwing the truth of what He is saying deep down into our hearts and minds.----We encourage you to block out the time to--listen to all 4 messages. For no man or woman is going to heaven who does not believe in the Deity of Christ.----There are many more famous passages in the Bible,even in the gospel of John, but none more critically enlightening than this one.----Join us as we continue on this journey together through the Gospel of John.

We now come to a turning point in the gospel of John. The persecution breaking out against Jesus on that day from the legalistic religious leaders continued relentlessly until it ultimately culminated in His death on the cross.----The longer we contemplate this, the more we realize the staggering loss suffered by the legalistic individual before God.----Join us as we continue on this journey together through the Gospel of John.

What is motivation-----Did you know there are many words used to describe it- Here are a few- boost, encouragement, goad, impetus, incentive, incitement, instigation, momentum, impulse, provocation, spur, stimulant, stimulus, just to name a few.----As we face the message before us it is good to contemplate those words, for all too often, motivation to see souls saved is eroded from our lives until we no longer care. Yet, Jesus cared in John 4 and He still cares. This may be just the right time for you to hear this message. It certainly was for the disciples who really were not motivated to see these people before them saved. So it is our Lord sought to breath His motivation into their hearts. May it be so with us today-----John 4-35 -Do you not say, 'There are still four months and then comes the harvest'- Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are already white for harvest---John 4-36 -And he who reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit for eternal life, that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together.--John 4-37 -For in this the saying is true- 'One sows and another reaps.'--John 4-38 -I sent you to reap that for which you have not labored- others have labored, and you have entered into their labors.-----Join us as we continue on this journey together through the Gospel of John.

Jesus Christ lived with the work of the Father as His highest goal to the very end of his life. This work was the salvation of souls.----Looking at this we should come to the realization of our highest goal in life, the salvation of souls. First our own, then as many as we can possibly reach in our lifetime.----John 4-31 In the meantime His disciples urged Him, saying, -Rabbi, eat.---John 4-32 But He said to them, -I have food to eat of which you do not know.---John 4-33 Therefore the disciples said to one another, -Has anyone brought Him anything to eat----John 4-34 Jesus said to them, -My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me, and to finish His work.----Thus we join with Jesus in living to finish our highest goal. The work and ministry of saving souls. Let's look at this powerful life altering truth together.----Join us as we continue on this journey together through the Gospel of John.

A. W. Tozer used to say, -True worship seeks union with its beloved, and an active effort to close the gap between the heart and the God it adores is worship at its best-------To adore God is to be lifted outside our selves. To bow in wonder before this transcendent majesty whose glory fills the heavens and whose mighty power spans the wide compass of history and reaches with unerring accuracy into every crevice of time and space, this is to mount up from a grovelling obsession with our own needs to an awe-inspiring glimpse of the glory of the eternal God.- Herbert Carson----Join us as we continue on this journey together through the Gospel of John.

Because of the notoriety of Jesus and the woman at the well, the 1st 6 verses of this chapter are often read and effectively ignored, perhaps with a few token comments tossed in.----This is tragic. Everything Jesus does is for a reason. And everything John records is carefully selected by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit.----On a site like this with thousands of sermons people gravitate to the -hot topic- titles which while helpful may not always be the best choice in the long run.----This message does not have a -current hot topic of the day title.- But it will definitely challenge you, make you think and in the long run of your Christian life, create lasting hot spots in your heart.----Join us as we continue on this journey together through the Gospel of John.

God never saves a spectator.----If we learn anything in study this passage we certainly learn that. Jesus says, -You must be born again.- In Pt. 2 of this message we see how Jesus speaks to the bewilderment of Nicodemus concerning these things. Leaving him crystal clear on the way of salvation and the wonder of it.----This message contains very straight talk about heaven - hell.----In creation, God shows us his hand- in salvation, his heart.----Join us as we continue on this journey together through the Gospel of John.

How many people think they are going to heaven because they go to church-----How many people think they are going to Heaven because they believe all the -facts-about Jesus Christ, but at the end of the day it stops at an intellectual assent to the the true facts- Hence, they ultimately fall short of a radical conversion by the life of God coming into the soul of a man or woman-----Jesus spoke of the -many- and the -few.-----This same Jesus said if you want to go to heaven you must be born again. What exactly did he mean by that- Is this simply another kind of Christian- Or is it the difference between Heaven - Hell-----If ever there was a time in -visible church- to understand these things it is now-----For many this passage is so well known it is almost cliche' in their life. Almost is a dangerous word. Acts 26-28 Then Agrippa said to Paul, -You almost persuade me to become a Christian.- Yet we read of nothing telling us he became altogether born again and fit for the kingdom of Heaven.

Jim Elliot who had so much to say and write concerning zeal used to say------Am I ignitable- God deliver me from the dread asbestos of 'other things'. Saturate me with the oil of the Spirit that I may be a flame.-----James R. Graham put it so well when he said------Those who in time past have wrought great things for God have possessed a sanctified energy totally devoid of sloth.-----This is a fascinating and highly instructive passage, offering much toward our spiritual growth, as watch - listen to our Lord Jesus Christ. Here again he surprises, delights and challenges us.----Being able to spend time with Jesus like this, is both an honor and the secret to--continual growth in a first love relationship with Him----Join us as we continue on this journey together through the Gospel of John.

John relates the first great sign performed by Jesus to demonstrate His deity, the turning of water into wine.--Only God can create from nothing.----John only records 8 miracles in his gospel.

So often the sincere question is asked, -What message can I give my friend to help them come to know the Lord-- This is one you can refer people to often. It's right here.----J. C. Ryle used to say, -We may boldly tell the chief of sinners that Christ loves him. Salvation is ready for the worst of men, if they will only come to Christ. If men are lost, it is not because Jesus does not love them and is not ready to save-----John Blanchard put it so well when he said, -Becoming a Christian is not making a new start in life- it is receiving a new life to start with.-----Those words line up perfectly with the text before us in this message.----John 1-12-13 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name- who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.----Staring at those verses we see how,-The new birth is infinite in its beginning because its beginning lies in infinity-----Join us as we continue on this journey together through the Gospel of John.

I am deeply indebted to Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones from whom I gleaned the core thoughts in this message. I will never forget the peace and comfort his input brought into my life to stay, so very many years ago. May you be blessed in a similar way by this message before you today.----Danny Bond----Is it possible to know beyond all doubt I am truly born-again and going to heaven when I die-----Yes it is. But beyond all controversy not all Christians have this kind of rock solid assurance. The Bible tells in so many different ways we can know.----This message is an occasion for examination. Which by the way is an extremely healthy thing for us spiritually. Paul made this crystal clear.----2 Cor 13-5 Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith- test yourselves. Do you not realize that Christ Jesus is in you--unless, of course, you fail the test- -NIV-----In the same epistle Paul wrote this marvelous statement-----2 Cor 5-17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation- old things have passed away- behold, all things have become new.----If this is true of you the examination you go through in this message will be extremely encouraging in a lasting way-----Join us as we take this journey together through the Gospel of John.

Did you ever wonder why you were born in this time period- God has sent you forth to testify in this age- So it was with John the Baptist. We read-----John 1-6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.--John 1-7 This man came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all through him might believe.--John 1-8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.---------God has saved you and filled you with His Holy Spirit, empowering you to be a witness of -That Light- as well.----This is how Paul the Apostle saw it.----2 Cor 5-20 Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us- we implore you on Christ's behalf, be reconciled to God.----In this study you are going to find the ministry of John the Baptist has so much to say to us today.----Perhaps you have let your witness go. You no longer boldly proclaim Christ to friends or those you work with. This message will light a fire within you, that you may go forth with a fresh excited witness, for the Lamb of God who took away your sin. When it comes to our witness for Christ, we are all running out of time.----Join us as we take this journey together through the Gospel of John.

It has been said,-Jesus Christ is God in the form of man- as completely God as if he were not man- as completely man as if he were not God.-----Think about this...He who made man was made man.----We have before us the deity of Jesus Christ and oh how sweet this is to contemplate. The benefits to us are eternal. God in Christ has done everything necessary to bridge the gap between man - God.----Dietrich Bonhoeffer-s words here are rich indeed. -If Jesus Christ is not true God, how could he help us- If he is not true man, how could he help us------Thank the Lord, He is and He is-----Join us as we take this journey together through the Gospel of John. We encourage you to invite a friend, or a group of friends, to listen with you. May you be abundantly blessed.
-The first thing you do is read the Gospel of John.- How many times have you said that to a new Christian- We all say it and anyone who listens gets blessed-----But other than perhaps doing that when you were first born-again, have you ever taken the time to study it in-depth-----How easy it is to routinely refer people to it. But never have more than a cursory understanding of it ourselves.----Yet, how wonderful it is to take time out of your busy life - plumb the depths of the knowledge of God revealed in this Gospel.----The the other gospels overlap - repeat. Writing so much later, John stands alone in a divine uniqueness. This book simply gets more dazzling the longer you look at it. This is John's design, that you might see more and more of Jesus as God, the deeper you go.----You don't want to miss what is waiting for you in the introduction.----Join us as we take this journey together through the Gospel of John.

This final message in our 5 part series on Christ in the Old Testament is rich with what may be to you entirely new, fresh thoughts of God. We take a closer look at His Person. His humanity. Seeing how he bore the stigma of one being an illegitimate child in that humanity. His deity. Prophesied in the O.T. manifested in the New. The Death of Christ is foretold in 29 specific prophecies, all fulfilled in the N.T. These, out of the 300 concerning the whole scope of His life, death, resurrection and ascension back into Heaven. This message is a great wrap up, pulling together all the wonderful studies we have had together in this series.----In John 5-39 Jesus said, -...search the Scriptures... these are they which testify of Me.----Our Lord's words are underscored in the N.T. as the writer to the Hebrews speaks of Jesus Christ. Heb 10-7 Then I said, -Behold, I have come- In the volume of the book it is written of Me- To do Your will, O God.'- Do you you know where that is found in the O.T- Psalm 40-7.----The value of this study could not be manifested better than to see how Paul the Apostle ministered with the only Bible he had, which was the O.T. scriptures. Acts 17-2-3 Then Paul, as his custom was, went in to them, and for three Sabbaths reasoned with them from the Scriptures explaining and demonstrating that the Christ had to suffer and rise again from the dead, and saying, -This Jesus whom I preach to you is the Christ.-----We highly encourage you to invite a friend, or a home group of friends, to listen with you. May you be abundantly blessed.
In the 4th installment in this series, we will focus on the prophesies of Jesus Christ in book of Genesis, all the way up to Simeon holding the baby, Christ the incarnate God, in his arms. It is recommended you listen to this message with a pen a pad in in hand, to write down and have future access to, the scripture references. It is also recommended you listen to this message at least 2 times. The monumental nature of the prophesies concerning Christ and how he fulfilled them, almost mandates this.----In John 5-39 Jesus said, -...search the Scriptures... these are they which testify of Me.----Our Lord's words are underscored in the N.T. as the writer to the Hebrews speaks of Jesus Christ. Heb 10-7 Then I said, -Behold, I have come- In the volume of the book it is written of Me- To do Your will, O God.'- Do you you know where that is found in the O.T- Psalm 40-7.----The value of this study could not be manifested better than to see how Paul the Apostle ministered with the only Bible he had, which was the O.T. scriptures. Acts 17-2-3 Then Paul, as his custom was, went in to them, and for three Sabbaths reasoned with them from the Scriptures explaining and demonstrating that the Christ had to suffer and rise again from the dead, and saying, -This Jesus whom I preach to you is the Christ.-----Join us as we take this journey together looking at Christ in the O.T.
