(NLT) Sunday Morning Service July 12, 2015
Slide 4
Matthew 8:23-27 (NLT) 23 Then Jesus got into the boat and
started across the lake with his disciples. 24 Suddenly, a terrible
storm came up, with waves breaking into the boat. But Jesus was
sleeping. 25 The disciples went to him and woke him up, shouting,
Lord, save us! Were going to drown! 26 And Jesus answered, Why are
you afraid? You have so little faith! Then he stood up and rebuked
the wind and waves, and suddenly all was calm. 27 The disciples
just sat there in awe. Who is this? they asked themselves. Even the
wind and waves obey him!
Slide 5
Matthew 16:13-20 (NLT) 13 When Jesus came to the region of
Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, Who do people say that
the Son of Man is? 14 Well, they replied, some say John the
Baptist, some say Elijah, and others say Jeremiah or one of the
other prophets. 15 Then he asked them, Who do you say I am? 16
Simon Peter answered, You are the Messiah, the Son of the living
God.
Slide 6
17 Jesus replied, You are blessed, Simon son of John,* because
my Father in heaven has revealed this to you. You did not learn
this from any human being. 18 Now I say to you that you are Peter,*
and upon this rock I will build my church, and all the powers of
hell* will not conquer it. 19 And I will give you the keys of the
Kingdom of Heaven. Whatever you lock on earth will be locked in
heaven, and whatever you open on earth will be opened in heaven. 20
Then he sternly warned them not to tell anyone that he was the
Messiah.
Slide 7
John 20:26-27 (NLT) 26 Eight days later the disciples were
together again, and this time Thomas was with them. The doors were
locked; but suddenly, as before, Jesus was standing among them. He
said, Peace be with you. 27 Then he said to Thomas, Put your finger
here and see my hands. Put your hand into the wound in my side.
Dont be faithless any longer. Believe!
Slide 8
Mark 1:23-24 (NLT) 23 A man possessed by an evil spirit was in
the synagogue, 24 and he began shouting, Why are you bothering us,
Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you
arethe Holy One sent from God!
Slide 9
Acts 19:13-16 (NLT) 13 A team of Jews who were traveling from
town to town casting out evil spirits tried to use the name of the
Lord Jesus. The incantation they used was this: I command you by
Jesus, whom Paul preaches, to come out! 14 Seven sons of Sceva, a
leading priest, were doing this. 15 But when they tried it on a man
possessed by an evil spirit, the spirit replied, I know Jesus, and
I know Paul. But who are you? 16 And he leaped on them and attacked
them with such violence that they fled from the house, naked and
badly injured.
Slide 10
Matthew 22:29 (NLT) 29 Jesus replied, Your problem is that you
dont know the Scriptures, and you dont know the power of God.
Slide 11
Ephesians 4:11-16 (NLT) 11 He is the one who gave these gifts
to the church: the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, and the
pastors and teachers. 12 Their responsibility is to equip Gods
people to do his work and build up the church, the body of Christ,
13 until we come to such unity in our faith and knowledge of Gods
Son that we will mature and full grown in the Lord, measuring up to
the full stature of Christ.
Slide 12
14 Then we will no longer be like children, forever changing
our minds about what we believe because someone has told us
something different or because someone has cleverly lied to us and
made the lie sound like the truth. 15 Instead, we will hold to the
truth in love, becoming more and more in every way like Christ, who
is the head of his body, the church.
Slide 13
16 Under his direction, the whole body is fitted together
perfectly As each part does its own special work, it helps the
other parts grow, so that the whole body is healthy and growing and
full of love.
Slide 14
Romans 10:17 (KJV) 7 So then faith cometh by hearing, and
hearing by the word of God.
Slide 15
Hebrews 11:6 6 But without faith it is impossible to please
him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he
is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
Slide 16
Matthew 7:21-23(NLT) 21 Not all people who sound religious are
really godly. They may refer to me as Lord, but they still wont
enter the Kingdom of Heaven. The decisive issue is whether they
obey my Father in heaven.
Slide 17
22 On judgment day many will tell me, Lord, Lord, we prophesied
in your name and cast out demons in your name and performed many
miracles in your name. 23 But I will reply, I never knew you. Go
away; the things you did were unauthorized.
