| 1 | New Testament Books | Gospels | Luke | (Luke 01) Introduction | 4105 | In the first part of his introduction, Ed Miller presents Luke in the context of the Bible. As the only Gentile author, Luke offers a unique perspective and Ed begins by outlining six main themes. He begins with Jesus' own pronouncement of Himself as the Son of Man, continues with His compassion for the downtrodden and through His relationship with women and children, He is presented as an impartial God who is truly the Saviour of all mankind. | Ed Miller | Luke_01_Introduction.mp3 | Luke 1:1-4, Acts 1:1 | ||||||
| 2 | New Testament Books | Gospels | Luke | (Luke 01) Introduction Part 2 | 4105 | Continuing with his themes he has outlined in Luke, Ed Miller shows how Luke is a gospel that focuses on missions and evangelism, for Jesus truly came for all. It has also been referred to as the "happiest gospel", for there is much on joy and thanksgiving. Furthermore, Luke writes simply, with many stories of contrast and finally, he is the author that mentions the Holy Spirit the most and of how Jesus as man lived completely in the power of the Holy Spirit. Both parts of this introduction will certainly whet the appetite to study and drink in this unique gospel. | Ed Miller | Luke_01_IntroductionA.mp3 | Luke 3:6, Luke 19:10, 1 Corinthians 15:45-47 | ||||||
| 3 | New Testament Books | Gospels | Luke | (Luke 01) Introduction B | 4105 | Luke's Gospel emphasizes certain themes about the Lord Jesus Christ that the other Gospel writers do not. The Gospel of Luke has been coined "The Happiest Gospel" as it takes you to the highest joy of all. Jesus Christ, as the Son of Man, is portrayed as what prayer and the Holy Spirit meant to Him as He walked on earth. | Ed Miller | Luke_01_IntroductionB.mp3 | Luke | ||||||
| 4 | New Testament Books | Gospels | Luke | (Luke 02) Zacharias | 4105 | What were the first words God spoke after His silence of 400 years? Zacharias the priest was the first to hear the Word of the Lord, yet despite his righteousness, he chose to be in unbelief. Ed Miller begins his study in Chapter 1 with contrasting Zacharias' unbelief with Mary's faith. With gentleness, he reminds all believers how easily we can fall into unbelief regardless of how close we walk with Him. | Ed Miller | Luke_02_Zacharias.mp3 | Luke 1, Malachi 4:5-6 | ||||||
| 5 | New Testament Books | Gospels | Luke | (Luke 03) Unbelief & Faith Part 1 | 4105 | Ed Miller continues his study of unbelief vs. faith by re-emphasizing some key points. . With certainty, we will all experience moments of unbelief. Yet, be assured that God's will is not hindered by our unbelief, but it can rob us of the blessing. But, in hope, we can always turn to Him that continues to form simple, childlike faith in us as we follow our Saviour, our Teacher and the Hope of all mankind. | Ed Miller | Luke_03_Unbelief_Faith.mp3 | Luke 1 | ||||||
| 6 | New Testament Books | Gospels | Luke | (Luke 04) Unbelief & Faith Part 2 | 4105 | In contrast to Zacharias' unbelief, he now presents Mary's faith and shows her to be a perfect model of the Church. She responds to the angel's pronouncement with child-like faith, with complete and total surrender and is a picture of humility. She is trusting that God the Father will form Christ in her. In the same way, His Church is to surrender and believe that He, by the power of the Holy Spirit, will produce the same miracle of forming the Christian life in us. | Ed Miller | Luke_04_Unbelief_Faith.mp3 | |||||||
| 7 | New Testament Books | Gospels | Luke | (Luke 05) Unbelief Turned To Faith | 4105 | The record indicates Zecharias was not only deaf but mute. Why this particular judgment? It's the bitterness of living by sight. Zecharias also illustrates what happens every time unbelief turns to faith: silence turns to praise, simplicity, and restoration to higher usefulness. | Ed Miller | Luke_05_UnbeliefTunredToFaith.mp3 | Luke 1:57ff | ||||||
| 8 | New Testament Books | Gospels | Luke | (Luke 06) The Songs of Mary & Zacharias | 4105 | Ed closes out chapter one pointing out Luke's strong emphasis on the Holy Spirit. John the Baptizer pictures ministry, beginning with the Holy Spirit and being a forerunner for Jesus to follow after. Mary is a picture of the Church and missions--bringing Christ to the world. Elizabeth illustrates fellowship and Zacharias the restoration the Lord works after a time of unbelief. | Ed Miller | Luke_06_TheSongsOfMaryZacharias.mp3 | Luke 1 | ||||||
| 9 | New Testament Books | Gospels | Luke | (Luke 07) The Greatness of His Coming | 4105 | Our over familiarity with the Christmas story can make the powerful truth of it become "la la la". Brother Ed shows the picture of God's infinite condescension in becoming a baby--the Bread of Life (Jesus) being laid out in a dish (manger) in the House of Bread (Bethlehem) for anyone to partake! No less than 100 million angels worshiped the Son as He made His first appearance into the world as the Son of all mankind. | Ed Miller | Luke_07_TheGreatnessOfHisComing.mp3 | Luke 2:1-24, Hebrews 1:6 | ||||||
| 10 | New Testament Books | Gospels | Luke | (Luke 08) He Comes To Seekers | 4105 | Jesus came for all mankind, both Jew and Gentile, but in a special way to those who seek Him. The shepherds represent people who get the light of God from heaven and run to Jesus. Simeon illustrates the role of the Holy Spirit in any seeking, God's providential timing, and the assurance that no one who seeks Christ dies without Christ. | Ed Miller | Luke_08_HeComesToSeekers.mp3 | Luke 2:8-20, Luke 2:25-32 | ||||||
| 11 | New Testament Books | Gospels | Luke | (Luke 09) Results of His Coming | 4105 | What were the results of Jesus' first coming? It was great joy (the shepherds), contentment in life and tranquility in death (Simeon), rejection (Mary) and testimony and witness (Anna). Joseph and Mary losing Jesus at Passover, one of the most religious times of worship and fellowship, serves as a sober reminder that we too can get preoccupied with other things and lose fellowship with Him. | Ed Miller | Luke_09_ResultsOfHisComing.mp3 | Luke 2 | ||||||
| 12 | New Testament Books | Gospels | Luke | (Luke 10) Introduction to Chapter 3 | 4105 | Although John the Baptizer was a fulfillment of Elijah, the Lord Jesus spoke of the fulfillment of Elijah yet coming. In light of future prophecy, Ed Miller points out, "Everything God says about the future is designed to teach you the Lord now." John the Baptizer as a forerunner provides a model of Christian ministry in that the best we can do is to prepare the way for the Lord to follow. | Ed Miller | Luke_10_IntroChapter3.mp3 | Luke 3 | ||||||
| 13 | New Testament Books | Gospels | Luke | (Luke 11) Baptism of Christ | 4105 | John the Baptizer as the first forerunner was preacher of the law with a hot message of judgment to get everyone on level ground--to stand before Christ as guilty sinners. Why did the Holy Spirit come in the picture of a dove at Jesus' baptism? How does Jesus' genealogy underscore God's genius in the miracle of the virgin birth? Brother Ed labors to exalt Jesus as the Son of all mankind as he answers these questions and more! | Ed Miller | Luke_11_BaptismOfChrist.mp3 | Luke 3 | ||||||
| 14 | New Testament Books | Gospels | Luke | (Luke 12) Introduction To Temptations Part 1 | 4105 | The temptations in the wilderness served as the final preparation of our Lord Jesus. This section is filled with mystery, yet has clear principles for us to grasp. Brother Ed warns in closing that we're not to try to imitate Jesus in how He conquered temptation, but rather to appropriate Him, which is far higher. | Ed Miller | Luke_12_IntroToTemptations.mp3 | Luke 4:1-13, Matthew 4:1-12, Mark 1:12-13 | ||||||
| 15 | New Testament Books | Gospels | Luke | (Luke 13) Introduction To Temptations Part 2 | 4105 | In the first temptation, Satan tried to get Jesus to do something independently from His Father. Likewise Satan tries to get us to "turn rocks into bread" by the sin of anxiety--trying to help God in what only God can do. The real issue was not about the bread but about the test to doubt the love of God. | Ed Miller | Luke_13_IntroToTemptations.mp3 | Luke 4:1-4 | ||||||
| 16 | New Testament Books | Gospels | Luke | (Luke 14) Conclusion of Temptations | 4105 | The nature of Satan’s temptations is to get us to doubt God's love, sufficiency and faithfulness. The devil tempts with the invented and imaginary glory of the world and also in the spiritual places--the temple (the Church). Many have caved into the spiritual temptations, demanding a miracle from God or trusting God insensibly. "Satan tries to tempt us," says brother Ed, "by causing us to act apart from a clear word from God." | Ed Miller | Luke_14_ConclusionOfTemptations.mp3 | Luke 4:5-13 | ||||||
| 17 | New Testament Books | Gospels | Luke | (Luke 15) Beginning Of Ministry | 4105 | Jesus began His ministry with an announcement of Him being the prophetic fulfillment of the Jewish Year of Jubilee, a celebration of emancipation from slavery and debt. How does God heal the brokenhearted? Who are the people who have a claim on Jesus today? Ed answers these questions and more about Jesus, the friend of all mankind. | Ed Miller | Luke_15_BeginningOfMinistry.mp3 | Luke 4:14-30 | ||||||
| 18 | New Testament Books | Gospels | Luke | (Luke 16) Overview: Chapters 4-9 | 4105 | Ed Miller gives an overview of the Lord's ministry, especially noting how He had authority over demons, disease and death. The miracles themselves are instructive to spiritual realities. In the healing of the fever of Peter's mother-in-law, the secret of Christian ministry is shown by the Lord touching you in your weakness and giving you supernatural strength to serve. | Ed Miller | Luke_16_OverviewChapt4-9.mp3 | Luke 4:38-39 | ||||||
| 19 | New Testament Books | Gospels | Luke | (Luke 17) Chapter 5: Fish & Leprosy | 4105 | The miraculous catch of fish is God's illustration of soul-winning: it is a mighty miracle of God. Your responsibility is not to win the lost; your responsibility is just to obey Jesus. Leprosy is a picture of sin and the cleansing which followed illustrates Jesus' willingness and ability to cleanse sin. The priestly examination of a cleansed leper signifies that it is not our verbal declaration that confirms our cleansing but others who watch our lives. | Ed Miller | Luke_17_Chap5_FishLeprosy.mp3 | Luke 5:1-14, Mark 1:16-17 | ||||||
| 20 | New Testament Books | Gospels | Luke | (Luke 18) Chapter 5: Palsy | 4105 | All of the miracles are really parables, a physical illustration of the spiritual side in the Christian life. Brother Ed shows that when we feel paralyzed and helpless as Christian, it just means we haven't entered into our forgiveness. "The more we enter into our forgiveness," he says, "the freer we become." Many other truths are drawn from this account, such as an expose of the Pharisees, obstacles of coming to Jesus, and evangelism. | Ed Miller | Luke_18_Chap5Palsy.mp3 | Luke 5:17-24 | ||||||
| 21 | New Testament Books | Gospels | Luke | (Luke 19) Levi's Banquet & The Grainfield | 4105 | What is the Christian life? The text from Luke's gospel illustrates it as a wedding (not a funeral) and the joy of strolling with Jesus in the grain fields and allowing Him to satisfy your hunger. Christianity is not a bunch of rules and regulations of the legalists who think it's all about what you believe and how well you behave. It's Who you know and how much you enjoy Him. | Ed Miller | Luke_19LevisBanquetTheGrainfield.mp3 | Luke 5:27-6:5 | ||||||
| 22 | New Testament Books | Gospels | Luke | (Luke 20) The Withered Hand | 4105 | The spiritual truth behind the healing of the withered hand is this: When God gives a command, He also gives the enablement to perform that command. "It is as I attempt to obey God," says brother Ed, "that I find the resources to obey God." Our two big needs are to see a bigger God and ourselves as helpless Christians. | Ed Miller | Luke_20_TheWitheredHand.mp3 | Luke 6:6-16 | ||||||
| 23 | New Testament Books | Gospels | Luke | (Luke 21) The Centurion and The Widow Of Nain | 4105 | The Sermon on the Plain describes what my life will increasingly look like when Jesus has undisputed lordship. Go after Christ, not the rules, and the good fruit will be produced. In the account of the widow of Nain, Christ is lord over man's most unsolvable problem: death. If Jesus can solve the greatest problem, we can be sure He can solve every lesser problem in our lives! | Ed Miller | Luke_21_TheCentrianWidowOfNain.mp3 | Luke 6:17-7:17 | ||||||
| 24 | New Testament Books | Gospels | Luke | (Luke 22) Doubts Of John The Baptist | 4105 | Some lessons we can learn here is that when we have doubts, send them to Jesus. We should also never judge the reality by outward appearances. Though Jesus never visited John in prison, He had a high regard for him, and we can expect in our trials at times not to hear, "Well done, good and faithful servant," down here. There is a difference between doubting (struggling faith) and disbelieving, and the good news is that God accepts struggling faith as faith. | Ed Miller | Luke_22_DoubtsOfJohnTheBaptist.mp3 | Luke 7:18-39 | ||||||
| 25 | New Testament Books | Gospels | Luke | (Luke 23) Anointing Jesus' Feet | 4105 | How can we love the Lord Jesus and be freed from a cold heart? It's by entering into how much we've been forgiven. Brother Ed shows from the devotion and love of the sinful woman how it is impossible to embarrass the Lord and you don't have to defend yourself of the criticisms of others. | Ed Miller | Luke_23AnnointingJesusFeet.mp3 | Luke 7:36-50 | ||||||
| 26 | New Testament Books | Gospels | Luke | (Luke 24) Chapter 8: Sower | 4105 | Chapter 8 signifies a transition from the Galilean ministry and Jesus' teaching style of parables to both reveal and conceal. The ones who understand Christ's parables are not the unbelievers nor the believers but those who come to the Lord for an explanation. The parable of the sower is all about our receptivity to the Word of God, as well as an expectation in ministry that much will be unproductive. | Ed Miller | Luke_24_Chap8Sower.mp3 | Luke 8:1-18 | ||||||
| 27 | New Testament Books | Gospels | Mark-old | (Mark 01) Introduction Pt. 1 | 4103 | The Gospel of Mark presents our Lord Jesus as the Amazing Servant; it's the most exciting story ever told! Ed shares the value in having four different Gospel accounts and how Mark has its own unique contribution. Mark's prolific use of the word "straighway" and "and" present Jesus as the "Straightway Savior", One who is on the move now. | Ed Miller | Mark_01Intro.mp3 | Mark, Job 1:9, Proverbs 8:30 | ||||||
| 28 | New Testament Books | Gospels | Mark-old | (Mark 02) Introduction Pt. 2 | 4103 | One of the most exciting things is Christian service done God's way. What makes men marvel is not busy hands but human hands doing divine things. The highest form of service is laying down at Jesus' feet and adoring Him. Service is ministering unto His heart, not trying to meet a need (He has none). | Ed Miller | Mark_02Intro.mp3 | Mark, Revelation 22:2, Mark 10:45 | ||||||
| 29 | New Testament Books | Gospels | Mark-old | (Mark 03) Nature of the Amazing Servant | 4103 | The Son of God became the Servant of God in order to become the Gospel of God to sinful man. "If we pattern our lives after the Amazing Servant," Ed teaches, "our lives will also put exclamation points in the hearts of people." Christian service always begins the with the Dove--Spirit-empowerment. The Voice is Spirit instruction that God's approval is not on service or ministry but in His beloved Son. Spirit-guided service is that which has victory over sin and the devil. | Ed Miller | Mark_03NatureOfAmazingServant.mp3 | Mark 1:1-13 | ||||||
| 30 | New Testament Books | Gospels | Mark-old | (Mark 04) Characteristics of the Amazing Servant | 4103 | What are the chief characteristics of Jesus as the Amazing Servant? The Lord Jesus lived for His Father's will; His service was Godward not manward. Secondly, He had a fellowship with God that led to victory over all opposition. | Ed Miller | Mark_04CharacticsOfAmazingServant.mp3 | Mark 1:14 - Mark 13 | ||||||
| 31 | New Testament Books | Gospels | Mark-old | (Mark 05) Characteristics of the Amazing Servant (Continued) | 4103 | The servant of the Lord is filled with bold authority because his source is from God and not from man. Authority is the deep assurance I have God's message. A real servant has a tender heart, sighing as he enters into others' suffering. A real servant has one goal: to make his God happy. | Ed Miller | Mark_05_01-01.mp3 | Mark 1:14 - Mark 13 | ||||||
| 32 | New Testament Books | Gospels | Mark-old | (Mark 06) Characteristics of the Real Servant | 4103 | Each Gospel snapshot of Jesus' service capture characteristics of a real servant. For instance, a real servant has power over the powers of hell (Mark 1:23-27). A real servant waits for the empowering touch of God, as illustrated by the healing of Peter's mother-in-law. Jesus found deep fellowship with His Father as the source of His activity. | Ed Miller | Mark_06CharacticsOfRealServant.mp3 | Mark 1:12-38 | ||||||
| 33 | New Testament Books | Gospels | Mark-old | (Mark 07) Chapter 1:40-3:6 | 4103 | A true servant, modelled after the Amazing Servant, is moved with compassion to all who come in faith, regardless of how repulsive that individual is. The real servant will be opposed in what He emphasizes, the spiritual over the ritualistic and legalistic. Real Christian service touches the heart; Jesus knows that the real problem is sin. Holiness is never a result of trying to keep laws in your own strength but walking with the Bridegroom! | Ed Miller | Mark_07Chap-2-3.mp3 | Mark 1:40-3:6 | ||||||
| 34 | New Testament Books | Gospels | Mark-old | (Mark 08) Chapter 3: 4 Great Principles of Christian Service | 4103 | Chapter 3 illustrates four great principles for Christian service: recognized weakness, opposition of love, misjudged motives, and close relationships. The first call of Christ is to deep relationship with Himself. Jesus' choice of Judas became a great warning. What is the unpardonable sin? The unpardonable sin speaks toward the final rejection of Jesus Christ, and the fear of having committed it is proof positive you haven't committed it. | Ed Miller | Mark_08Unpardonable.mp3 | Mark 3:1-30 | ||||||
| 35 | New Testament Books | Gospels | Mark-old | (Mark 09) Chapter 4: Parables | 4103 | God created this universe in order to illustrate spiritual truth and parables translate the book of nature into the book of grace. The Lord Jesus Himself is the greatest parable, for in Him are hidden all the treasures of wisdom! The Parable of the Sower teaches to expect different responses in others as you give out the Gospel. The main message of the Parable of the Seed Growing Secretly is that true fruitfulness is from God and not from men. The chapter ends with a "parabolic miracle" that teaches no storm can hinder the program of God. With Christ in the vessel I can smile at the storm. | Ed Miller | Mark_09Chap04_Parables.mp3 | Mark 3:31-4:41 | ||||||
| 36 | New Testament Books | Gospels | Mark-old | (Mark 10) Chapter 5 | 4103 | All three miracles represented impossible situations. The demon-possessed man is a graphic illustration of the unsaved--controlled by the underworld, filled with shame, uncontrollable, restless. The woman with the issue of blood depicts faith connecting with Christ's power to meet the need. The resurrection of Jairus' daughter teaches that the all inclusive resting place of faith was not having an answer to everything but that God is with you. | Ed Miller | Mark_10Chap05.mp3 | Mark 5 | ||||||
| 37 | New Testament Books | Gospels | Mark-old | (Mark 11) Chapter 6: Principles of Christian Service | 4103 | Jesus' second visit to Nazareth illustrates that real service is doing divine service with human hands. The true servant does not waste his time with those who don't want to know. The sending forth and return of the 12 disciples teach that miraculous sufficiency is received through the simplicity of faith. The Christian servant can expect the fruit of repentance, miraculous deliverances, and rest. | Ed Miller | Mark_11Chap06PrinciplesOfChristianServices.mp3 | Mark 6:1-16 | ||||||
| 38 | New Testament Books | Gospels | Mark-old | (Mark 12) Chapters 6-7: Principles Of Christian Service Cont. | 4103 | The lesson of the feeding of the 5,000 is that the impossible becomes possible through union with Jesus Christ. What can you expect in your life when you learn this lesson? It doesn't matter what instruments God uses, it doesn't matter how much or how little you have, and time is not an issue. The disciples on the stormy sea was a test of that truth they just learned; every time God gives you a truth, He will test its reality in your life. In chapter 7 the life of the amazing servant is liberty to do the will of God, complete freedom from everything that is manmade. Note: the first 5 minutes of the message is faint. | Ed Miller | Mark_12Chap06_VeryFaint.mp3 | Mark 6:30 - 7:4 | ||||||
| 39 | New Testament Books | Gospels | Mark-old | (Mark 13) Chapter 7:1-23 Traditions | 4103 | We all have a Pharisee heart. Man has a way of substituting the Word of God with traditions to measure the spiritual health or individuals or groups. Tradition is the whole list of man's interpretation or application of the law of God (e.g. creeds, special days, etc.). Life can never be substituted by something that is an expression of life. The real servant, patterned after the Amazing Servant, has a life of liberty in the Spirit and will never be mastered by a religious creed. Every Christian has a rich, intuitive relationship to the Lord. The real servant recognizes the heart as the chief source of defilement. | Ed Miller | Mark_13Chap07Traditions.mp3 | Mark 7:1 - 8:26 | ||||||
| 40 | New Testament Books | Gospels | Mark-old | (Mark 14) Chapter 7:24-8:26 - Principles of Faith | 4103 | Real faith is a desparate faith; the Syro-Phoenician woman's tremendous view of the Lord Jesus Christ made her faith great. Physical deafness illustrates spiritual deafness; it takes a miracle to have your spiritual ears opened. The feeding of the 4,000, rejection of the Pharisees, and progressive healing of the blind man point to faith as objective, pure and progressive. | Ed Miller | Mark_14Chap08PrincipleOfFaith.mp3 | Mark 7:24-8:26 | ||||||
| 41 | New Testament Books | Gospels | Mark-old | (Mark 15) Chapter 8:27-9:8 Transfiguration | 4103 | The confession of Peter, "Thou art the Christ", marks the turning point of Jesus' ministry. From this point onwards rejection is all along the way. The path of the amazing servant is the way of the cross, which is the pathway to glory. The transfiguration illustrates many precious principles for the prepared servants who are open to the heart of the Lord. | Ed Miller | Mark_15Chap0809Transfiguration.mp3 | Mark 8:27-9:8 | ||||||
| 42 | New Testament Books | Gospels | Mark-old | (Mark 16) Chapter 9: Faith, Humility & Holiness | 4103 | Jesus went to the Mount of Tranfiguration to show what God intended man as His image to be like. From the mount, Jesus lays down three basic principles for Christian service: faith, humility and holiness. The starting point of Christian service is believing God (9:9-29). There is no greatness apart from childlikeness (9:30-32). We cannot make peace with sin (9:33-50). | Ed Miller | Mark_16Chap09.mp3 | Mark 9 | ||||||
| 43 | New Testament Books | Gospels | Mark-old | (Mark 17) Chapter 10 | 4103 | The Pharisees, the disciples and the rich young ruler all had one thing in common: they only saw the external. The Pharisees saw divorce but couldn't see God's purpose of marriage as a living picture of union with Christ. The disciples saw children but failed to observe God's great object lesson of humility. The rich young ruler saw earthly riches but the spiritual riches. James and John saw the exaltation and the position of being seated at Jesus' right hand but didn't see the path to the crown and the glory. Bartimaeus is the hero of this chapter: he's the only one who can see! | Ed Miller | Mark_17Chap10.mp3 | Mark 10 | ||||||
| 44 | New Testament Books | Gospels | Mark-old | (Mark 18) Chapter 11: Triumphal Entry & the Fig Tree | 4103 | Mark 11 is one of the strangest chapters in Mark's Gospel in His deliberate calling attention to Himself in the "Triumphal Entry" and in the only miracle of judgment in His whole ministry by cursing the fig tree. There is a wonderful symbolism here. Jesus' entry into Jerusalem was both triumphal and non-triumphal; it was one of the greatest rejections in the New Testament. The cause for Israel's fruitlessness was no faith in God, which is pictured in the withered fig tree. | Ed Miller | Mark_18Chap11Entry_FigTree.mp3 | Mark 11:1-22 | ||||||
| 45 | New Testament Books | Gospels | Mark-old | (Mark 19) Chapter 12 | 4103 | Jesus' cleansing of the temple was His public farewell to His chosen channel rejected a Messiah that wanted reality and true worship. The four sets of questions are representative questions that cover all of life. God will give you all the answers you need when your heart is set upon the will of God. The Lord Jesus held up the widow's mite as a gift of faith that exemplified the pure worship He hungers for. | Ed Miller | Mark_19Chap12.mp3 | Mark 11:15-12:44 | ||||||
| 46 | New Testament Books | Gospels | Mark-old | (Mark 20) Chapter 13: Second Coming of CHRIST | 4103 | What did the Master Servant emphasize in His preaching about the Second Coming? He called attention to present preparation and the Person returning. We can either emphasize the subject (SECOND COMING of Christ) or the Lord Jesus (second coming of CHRIST). | Ed Miller | Mark_20Chap13SecondComing.mp3 | Mark 13 | ||||||
| 47 | New Testament Books | Gospels | Mark-old | (Mark 21) Chapter 14:1-32 | 4103 | Mary's breaking of the alabaster jar was spiritual service that ministered to the heart of Jesus. As Jesus looked to the cross, He looked forward to the resurrection with a glad willingness to be done unto. Gethsemane revealed the horror of broken fellowship with God but also the Lord's total resignation to the will of God. | Ed Miller | Mark_21Chap14.mp3 | Mark 14:1-32 | ||||||
| 48 | New Testament Books | Gospels | Mark-old | (Mark 22) Chapter 14:42-15:47 | 4103 | The central fact of Christian service is not a willingness to do something for the Lord but the cross--a willingness to be done unto. Christ was willing to be done unto by enemies (Judas, liars, scoffers), friends (Peter and the disciples, Joseph of Aramathea), and God the Father (on the cross). As we are conformed to Christ, our service service will more and more resemble this willingness to be done unto. | Ed Miller | Mark_22Chap14_15.mp3 | Mark 14:42-15:47 | ||||||
| 49 | New Testament Books | Gospels | Mark-old | (Mark 23) Chapter 16: Conclusion | 4103 | Mark 16:9-20 is a great battlefield of textual criticism for which Ed offers some helpful suggestions how to navigate through. The climax of Christian service is illustrated by the resurrection--the cross (the central fact of Christ's amazing service) has become transfigured. Jesus is alive in you and me in order to continue the amazing service that He began when He was on the earth! To the degree that Christ serves through you to that degree the Father is pleased with you. | Ed Miller | Mark_23Chap16Conclusion.mp3 | Mark 16 | ||||||
| 50 | New Testament Books | Gospels | Matthew | (Matthew 01) Introduction Part 1 | As is typical with an introduction lesson, Ed labors to give the spirit of Matthew and show how it is both foundational for the whole New Testament as well as transitional from the Old Testament. As a strategic book, Matthew is very foundational in its emphasis on repentance, the holy standards of God, and hell. The pure facts are presented in a way to turn our eyes to a spiritual Christ. | Ed Miller | 01Matthew_Introduction_01.mp3 | Matthew |
