Sermon: Jesus and Judgement, John 7:53-8:11

Jesus and Judgement? John 7:53-8:11 Remsen Bible Fellowship, 08/25/19 Intro: Do you know what it’s like to feel desperate? Like you’re in dire need of someone to rescue you from your situation? Perhaps it’s a situation for which you are responsible: you’ve made a big mistake at work; or at home you’ve overspent your budget and an unexpected bill hits; perhaps you’ve lied to a friend and now they’ve found out. Desperate situations come in all shapes and sizes, sometimes of our own making, sometimes not. We are going to meet a woman in our passage this morning who is in a very desperate situation. A woman needing rescue. Read: John 7:53-8:11 1: Difficulties and Approach Before we dive into the text itself, we need to address the oddity of what we find in our Bibles here. If you’re looking at a bible in your lap or on your phone, you’ll see that these verses are either placed in brackets, or even relegated to a footnote. Then there is bracketed explanat...

Unity and Glory; John 17:20-26

Unity and Glory John 17:20-26, Remsen Bible Fellowship, 05/24/2020 Introduction, v20 For the past two weeks, in v6-19 , we heard Jesus praying for his disciples. The argument I made in those sermons, though, was that those prayers didn’t merely apply to the original 11, but that they had implications for us in the 21st century. But today, I don’t have to make that argument. Jesus does. Look at verse 20, I do not ask for these [the 11] only, but also for those who will believe in me through their word. Do you believe in Jesus this morning? Do you believe that he came from the Father, lived a perfect life, died a substitutionary death for you, and rose again promising life to all who trust in him? If you believe this message, preached by the apostles and recorded in the Scriptures, if you believe in this Jesus, then listen up. Because we’re about to read his prayer for you. Read the text. I think it’s useful to note at the outset this simple fact: Jesus is praying for us. Las...

Love is the Root and the Fruit John 15:9-17

Love is the Root and the Fruit John 15:9-17 Remsen Bible Fellowship, 02/16/20 Introduction: Do you know how it feels to be loved? To feel like someone is totally for you, would give their all for you? What does that sort of love do to you? How does it change you? Think in the context of a child, spouse, parent, or friend. A Context of Love: v9, 13 Remember that we are in the upper room. John 13:1 Jesus has just given the illustration of vine/branches: now he’s unpacking that. As Jesus moves toward laying a heavy emphasis on obedience, he wants us to remember the setting in which that obedience lies: his full and perfect love. V9 How long has the Father loved the Son? John 17:24 Jesus wants that same love to be in us ( 17:26 ), and for those chosen by Christ you have been loved since before the foundation of the world. Eph 1:3-6, esp v4 How does Jesus demonstrate, ultimately, that too the max love? The cross. V13 Commands of Love: v9, 10, ...
