“Funding True Rest In Him!” Matthew 11:28-30 10/1/23 Angel Madera

Our sinful nature doesn't like being held accountable. We tend to have this attitude that shows itself differently: You can't tell me what to do! Don't judge me! He/she made me do it. I received a letter from the IRS that I am being audited! Teachers/professors should not use grades when evaluating tests. Public school teachers should refrain from using red pencil or ink when they correct a paper or test. That offends me and makes me uncomfortable. There are many more examples.

In the parable of the sheep and the goats, Jesus taught the disciples that when He returns, there will be a day of accounting and judgment. Some great lessons in this parable will help us in theology about the end times and practical theology to help us live our daily lives.

“Do You Know Jesus?” Matthew 25:31-46 9/24/23

Since the church's inception at Pentecost, Christ's followers have always been curious about the Second Coming of Christ. Sometimes, we tend to let this question distract us from a more critical question. Are we ready for Christ's Second Coming?
In Matthew 24, the disciples raise this question of Jesus' Second coming, and Jesus answered them with a sermon to refocus their thinking on the more important question. "Are you ready?"

One can sense something supernatural when a Christ follower worships in Spirit and truth. We sense once again the deep love of the Father and the Son. Our response is to worship and serve Christ because of our love relationship.

Listen to Revelation 1:9-20.

“The Fragrance of Worship!” John 12:1-11 9/3/23

You have heard me say that a dysfunctional system will always try to find a way to sustain its dysfunction at any cost. Here is an example:

The Sanhedrin included the Pharisees and Sadducees. The Pharisees were not meant to be a political party. Their function was to live according to the letter of the law. All that was important for them was to live up to the letter of the law no matter who was in the political power.
The Sadducees were a prominent political party of wealthy and influential people. They were willing to cooperate with the Roman authorities as long as they were allowed to keep their wealth,  comfort, and power. To further complicate the dysfunction, all priests were Sadducees. Therefore, the priests controlled most of the talking in these meetings.
After Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead, many Jews who came for the funeral believed in Christ as the Messiah. Therefore, Jesus was a growing threat to this dysfunctional system's power, greed, pride, and authority.
