Our teaching started by reading Psalm 150: “Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.”
Continuing through our study through John Chapter 2 1-11, we look at the first miracle that Jesus performed. Attending a wedding at Cana with His mother and disciples, Jesus is told that the family has run out of wine for their guests. Jesus asks the servants to fill very large pots to the brim with water and then turns it into wine. The master of the feast is so impressed with the quality of the wine, he compliments the bridegroom. This miracle speaks to His Messiahship.
Pastor Stu shares his thoughts of why Jesus did the signs and miracles.
1.) There was a need. Jesus met the many needs of people.
2.) Jesus showed His compassion and mercy.
3.) To reveal who He was
Just as Jesus changed the water into wine, He can change lives.
“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation.” 2 Corinthians 5:17.
Come worship with us Sundays @ 9:30.

Our teaching continues in the book of John 1: 35-51. We meet four men that become followers of Jesus and fishers of men: Simon Peter, later known as Cephas, Andrew, Phillip, and Nathanael. They were called to Come, Seek, See, Follow, and Believe.
We see how these men came to know Jesus. Their knowledge was, like ours, incomplete. When we come to know Jesus, each day can be a new revelation of Who Jesus is. Everyday can bring a fresh understanding of Our Messiah, His Lordship, His Kingship, His Humanity, and the fullness of His Deity. Tell Him through prayer, what you desire.

Pastor Stu continues his teaching in the the Book of John with Chapter 1: 29-34. In these verses, Jesus comes to John to be baptized. “Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world” and “this is He who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.” are the two verses that are highlighted in the teaching.
First we are told about the way God had the priests atone for the sins of the people by offering animals for sacrifice in the Old Testament. Over the course of the year over 1200 animals were offered because it is not possible for their sacrifices to take away our sins. But with Jesus, He removes our sins as far as the east is from the west. (Psalm 103:12)
John the Baptizer, is obedient in following God’s directive to baptize Jesus. Jesus is sinless, but this baptism is a beginning of Jesus ministry and a sign of the baptism to come with the Holy Spirit. We are thankful that we are born in the time since the Messiah’s sacrifice.

Pastor Stu leads us in a Communion teaching to begin our service using 1 Corinthians 11: 23-26.
In our regular teaching, we learn about John the Baptizer in more detail this week. John came to prepare the way for Christ. The Jewish people relied on the law given to Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. The law was a tutor to teach us how to behave. In Galatians we read the tutor brings us to Christ.
So what did the Son bring?
*Truth of God’s gracious plan for mankind’s salvation by faith
*Truth of His fulfillment of all OT scriptures concerning Himself
*The revelation of the Heavenly Father
John the Baptizer is a voice calling in the wilderness. He tells followers he is not a prophet, not Elijah, and not the Christ. All John wants to do is direct all attention to Jesus. John is humility personified.

April 25, 2021
Our scripture this morning is John 1: 6-14. Two men are introduced to us: John the Baptizer and the God-man who is unnamed in these verses but is known as The Word.
John the Baptizer is sent into the world to be a witness to the Truth. Truth matters to God. John was the one who was spoken of by Isaiah saying, “The Voice of one crying in the wilderness, prepare the way of the Lord, make His paths straight.” John the Baptizer has his mission on earth.
Pastor Stu does an excellent job comparing and contrasting the two men and their purpose. This unnamed Man “The Word” was not understood or recognized. This is a very sad commentary on mankind even though we are created in His image.
Pastor Stu then asks two hard questions: Have we received Him? Do we confess Christ and our relationship with Him? If we have, He by His grace through faith granted you the privilege, the right, the capacity to become a child of the Living God.
As we explore the Book of John in these next few months, we will intimately come to know our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

After last week’s conclusion to the book of Revelation, Pastor Stu Greenberg turns his attention to teaching of Palm Sunday, and the testing and betrayal of Jesus that leads to His death.
By turning to the Old Testament, we turn to the prophecies about Jesus’ life. In the teaching we learn that in the books of Isaiah, Zechariah, 1 & 2 Kings, and Psalms give us preview of what will happen to the Messiah shown in the Gospels.
From His triumphal arrival into Jerusalem to His arrest and the betrayal of his disciples, we were taken through this last week of Christ before His crucifixion.
The Passover Lamb of God was bound with cords and nails to the “horns of the altar”. And truly, the Son of God was sacrificed for us (no, instead of us) because “...God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” John 3:16

Nearing the end of the study of the book of Revelation, Pastor Stu focuses on the New Jerusalem and the New Heavenly City as we read in Revelation 21: 9 - Revelation 22: 5. The New Jerusalem, a city on earth, will be 1500 miles, high, wide, and long with streets of gold, walls of jasper, foundations of precious stones, and gates of pearls. It will have all of God’s glory where the redeemed will live.
Then John describes the Eternal Heavenly city with a pure river of water of life, like crystal, coming from the throne of God. Trees line the river and they bear fruit and leaves that will heal the nations. The Tree of Life that was mention in Genesis 3 is an eternal tree in the Heavenly City, which now we will be able to partake.
From Genesis to Revelation, we read of God’s perfect plan. What God has in store for us sounds absolutely marvelous, but it pales in comparison to the perfect love He already has for us. He will never let go of those who belong to Him and never will.
Church services are Sundays @ 9:30 am. and Wednesday @ 6:00 pm.
