Psalm 25 1 In you, Lord my God, I put my trust. 2 I trust in You; do not let me be put to shame, nor let my enemies triumph over me. 3 No one who hopes in you will ever be put to shame, but shame will come on those who are treacherous without cause.

Psalm 25 4 Show me your ways, Lord, teach me your paths. 5 Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long.

The Message of Jesus “The Time Has Come” (14-15)

The Message of Jesus “The Time Has Come” (14-15)

The Message of Jesus “The Time Has Come” (14-15) Isaiah 9:1-2 …but in the latter time he has made glorious the way of the sea, the land beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations. 2 The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; those who dwelt in a land of deep darkness, on them has light shone.

The Message of Jesus “The Time Has Come” (14-15) Romans 14:17 17 For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking but of righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.

The Message of Jesus “The Time Has Come” (14-15) John 18:36 36 Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would have been fighting, that I might not be delivered over to the Jews. But my kingdom is not from the world.”

The Message of Jesus “Repent and Believe” (15) Step 1: We admitted that, in our own strength, we are powerless to rise above our hurts, resentments, unhealthy behaviors and attempts to control.  Our lives have become unmanageable.

Psalm 135 15 The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the work of human hands. 16 They have mouths, but do not speak; they have eyes, but do not see; 17 they have ears, but do not hear,     nor is there any breath in their mouths. 18 Those who make them become like them,     so do all who trust in them.

The Message of Jesus “Repent and Believe” (15) John 1:12 12 But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God,

The Message of Jesus “Repent and Believe” (15) Titus 3:5-7 5 He saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit, 6 whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior,

The Message of Jesus “Repent and Believe” (15) Step 2: We came to believe that God exists, that He loves us deeply and that, through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, we can be healed and fulfill the purposes for which we were created.

The Message of Jesus Following and Fishing (16-20) Step 3: We made a conscious decision to turn our lives, our pain and our will over to the care of God and the leadership of Jesus Christ.

The Message of Jesus Following and Fishing (16-20) 1 John 2:5-6 By this we may know that we are in him: 6 whoever says he abides in him ought to walk in the same way in which he walked.

The Message of Jesus Following and Fishing (16-20) 1 John 4:17 17 By this is love perfected with us, so that we may have confidence for the day of judgment, because as he is so also are we in this world.

The Message of Jesus The Next Step Repentance – change of mind Belief – change of heart, hope Follow – change of behavior Fishing – change of result, fruit

Communion 1 Corinthians 11:23-25 “This is my body, which is for you. Do this in remembrance of Me.  This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.”
