After becoming popular and attracting many followers, Jesus taught about what we call the Incarnation, the Son of God becoming human flesh. The Incarnation made it possible for people to have eternal life. Instead of being overjoyed at this news, many so-called followers turned away from Jesus in John 6:41-71. After asking the his original followers if they also wanted to leave him, Peter responded with a question that can serve as a lifeline to us when we find it difficult to believe. (full sermon notes)
Because Christians are sometimes tempted to add human traditions to the teaching about Jesus, Colossians 2:6-15 reminds us that the fullness of God dwells...
Although the first anointed king tried to kill the second one, the Lord protected his anointed, as he always does.
After God used Philip to save many Samaritans, he sent him to evangelize one who had come from the ends of the Earth.
