      20060813 Mosaics Of The Master - Christ The Source Of Life - Delineated By A Saying - Rev. Tommy Jones

 

Last week, we heard how #Jesus showed He was the source of #life.  This week, we hear what He said to clarify that He is that source.  Jesus and His disciples were surrounded by agriculture and one of the biggest crops and even their national symbol had something in common.  All through the Old Testament the nation of Israel was referred to as a grape vine and not always in a positive way.  But Christ said that He is the true vine.  In what ways is Jesus Christ the vine that is true and perfect?  If Jesus is the vine, who are the branches?  Why is that important?  What happens to a branch apart from the vine?  Once the branch is attached to the vine, how does it produce fruit?  What kind of fruit would you reasonably expect from a grape vine?  What kind of fruit does the Bible say we can expect from our vine?

Back to Bethel

Jacob met #God and had a life changing experience, but did that #change him forever?  What should we do when we stray from #God?  What should a #nation do when its people forget where they came from?   Is God mad at us when we backslide?  Bethel, or house of God, is where Jacob first met God.  Where is your Bethel?  What are some examples that show that our Savior is a God of second chances?  Jacob and his family had strayed with idols.  But we don’t have any idols today, do we?  One of my pastors says that an idol is a good thing that becomes a god thing.  What outward change did God tell Jacob to make?  What benefit did Jacob receive from following the Lord’s instruction?  When Jacob returned to Bethel, was he returning to a place or to God?  We see Jacob dedicating himself to God, but what about God’s dedication to his servant?  Well, He did rename him.

The LIVING GOD #GATHERS

#Israel is at the center of our news, but what news does God give to us concerning Israel?  Ezekiel 28:25,26 “The LORD GOD SAID; ‘When I SHALL GATHER THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL  from the people among whom they are scattered, and sanctify them in the sight of the heathen, then shall they dwell in their land that I have given to my servant Jacob.  They shall dwell safely therein, and build houses, and plant vineyards; yea, they shall dwell with confidence, when I have executed judgments upon all those that despise them round about them; and THEY SHALL KNOW THAT I AM THE LORD THEIR GOD.”  I believe the Bible.  Do You?  Paul was telling us in 1Timothy 6 to hold on to eternal life; fight the good fight of faith and profess Christ Jesus before many witnesses.  v.17″Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the LIVING GOD who gives us richly all things to enjoy; that they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to give to the needy; laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.”  Isaiah 40:10,11 “Behold the LORD GOD WILL COME WITH STRONG HAND, AND HIS ARM SHALL RULE FOR HIM;  behold, HIS REWARD IS WITH HIM, and HIS WORK BEFORE HIM.  He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: HE SHALL GATHER THE LAMBS WITH HIS ARM, and carry them in His bosom, and shall gently lead those that are with young”
