Abandoned for Me, Part 2
April 7, 2022
Have you ever thought that the cross must have been a scary place? Even for Jesus? But he went, when he could have fled for us. He took it all--all of the suffering for us--because there is only one way for us to have salvation, and that’s through the blood of Jesus. God’s wrath against our sin is like a toxic poison, and Jesus drank it for us. Pastor J.D. is teaching from Matthew 26.

In our workbook, this month, we’ll walk through Scripture from 1 Kings 17 through 2 Kings 6, through the ministries of Elijah and Elisha. Elijah confronted a religious environment very much like our own, one characterized by the attitude, “You have your god, and I have mine.” Elijah, one of the most fascinating characters in Scripture, shows us that knowing the one true God is better than every other rival. Then we’ll take some time to examine the life of one of the greatest miracle workers in all of Scripture: the prophet Elisha. The secret behind Elisha’s power here on earth was his fierce devotion to the God of heaven. Elisha left behind an amazing legacy in this life, not because he was thinking of this life but because he was focused on the greater things that were ahead. Reserve your copy now.

What’s your most prized possession? A car? A signed baseball? Maybe a piece of jewelry? Would you sell it? Could you put a price on it?

We can come up with some pretty great excuses when we don’t want to do something. Like I don’t have time. Or I don’t know what to say. I’m scared. Pastor J.D. concludes our short but powerful study in Luke 14, Come to the Table. We’re dealing with some of those obstacles and looking at how our careers and even our dinner tables are a place to practically serve others.

Do you ever wonder, sometimes, if anything about your life matters? Am I making a real difference? We continue our series, Come to the Table, where Jesus used the occasion of a banquet, a party, to teach people about his Kingdom and our significance and role in it.

It’s good news when Jesus tells us to “come to the table.” It’s an invitation to you! Pastor J.D. looks at how Jesus extends that invitation to us, and what keeps a lot of people from accepting it. Pastor J.D. continues in Luke 14 his message Everything is Ready.

If you could have dinner with anyone, who would it be? Meal time was just as important to the life of Jesus as it is in our lives today. Pastor J.D. dives into Luke 14 in our new series called Come to the Table where Jesus tells several parables comparing the kingdom of God. Lost people are found, broken people are put back together, addicts are set free, lonely people find community, and sins are forgiven at Jesus’ table.

In the conclusion to our series through the book of Daniel, Pastor J.D. shows us how these final chapters of the book teach that in Christ, the suffering here on earth is limited, the resurrection is eternal, and the power of God is available to all who believe in him. The only question is, are you ready to be part of this movement?

In this message from Daniel 10–12, Pastor J.D. walks through Daniel’s visions of receiving warnings and capturing hope. We see that hardship, persecution, and suffering have all been decreed, but they’re not the only decree: Jesus will reign forever and judge the living and the dead according to his righteousness. He will renew and restore all things, and his people will dwell with him forever. And as we live in the in-between, Daniel encourages us that though things are dark—and they are likely only to get darker—we don’t despair. It’s all part of the plan.
