33 PICTURES OF JESUS IN 39 BOOKS
THE NEW TESTAMENT (27 Books) (8 AUTHORS)
THESE BOOKS ARE MARKED OFF IN SECTIONS; GOSPELS, HISTORY, LETTERS, PROPHECY
THE OLD TESTAMENT IS PREPARATION FOR JESUS, WHILE THE GOSPEL ACCOUNTS REPRESENT HIS MANIFESTATION ON THE EARTH. NEXT, THE BOOK OF ACTS IS THE PROCLAMATION OF HIS MESSAGE AND THE EPISTLES ARE THE EXPLANATION OF ALL THAT HE ACCOMPLISHED. FINALLY, THE REVELATION UNVEILS THE CONSUMMATION OF HIS KINGDOM.
THE BIBLE (GOD) REFERS TO AS THE FULLNESS OF TIME.
Gal 4:4 But when the fullness of the time came, God sent forth His Son…
THE ACCUSATION MADE AGAINST THE EARLY CHURCH LEADERS.
Acts 17:5 But the Jews who were not persuaded, becoming envious, took some of the evil men from the marketplace, and gathering a mob, set all the city in an uproar and attacked the house of Jason, and sought to bring them out to the people. 6 But when they did not find them, they dragged Jason and some brethren to the rulers of the city, crying out, “These who have turned the world upside down have come here too.
GOSPEL MEANS; GOOD NEWS.
MATTHEW WAS WRITING TO A JEWISH AUDIENCE, SO HE INCLUDES A LOT OF QUOTES FROM THE OLD TESTAMENT.
MARK WAS WRITING TO A ROMAN OR NON-JEWISH AUDIENCE.
LUKE WAS A PHYSICIAN AND HE IS VERY DETAILED & WROTE ACTS
JOHN WAS ONE OF THE 3 DISCIPLES CLOSEST TO JESUS
MATTHEW
EACH GOSPEL HAS A PICTURE OF JESUS CONNECTED WITH THE FOUR CREATURES AT THE THRONE IN Revelaton 4:6 and before the throne there was something like a sea of glass, like crystal; and in the center and around the throne, four living creatures full of eyes in front and behind. 7 The first creature was like a lion, and the second creature like a calf, and the third creature had a face like that of a man, and the fourth creature was like a flying eagle.
OUR PICTURE OF JESUS IN MATTHEW IS “A LION”
JESUS IS THE LION OF THE TRIBE OF JUDAH.
HE WALKED IN AUTHORITHY.
“He taught them as one having authority” (7:29)
MARK
THE PICTURE OF JESUS IN MARK IS “AN OX”
AN OX IS A SACRIFICAL ANIMAL.
LUKE
THE PICTURE OF JESUS IS “A MAN”
HE WAS A MAN ANOINTED BY GOD AND HE WAS TEMPTED AS A MAN IN ALL ASPECTS.
HE IS A HIGH PRIEST WHO CAN BE TOUCHED WITH THE FEELINGS OF OUR INFIRMITY.
THERE IS MORE ABOUT PRAISE AND PRAYER IN THE GOSPEL OF LUKE THAN THE OTHERS BECAUSE AS MEN AND WOMEN THESE ARE THE THINGS WE NEED TO DO AS HUMANS.
JOHN
THE PICTURE OF JESUS IN JOHN IS “THE EAGLE”
JOHN HAS THE 7 “I AM’S OF JESUS”
THESE 4 PICTURES OF THE GOSPELS REVEAL THE FOUR-FOLD MINISTRY OF JESUS, THE MESSIAH AND WHO HE IS TO US TODAY.
THE GOSPELS REVEAL THE PERFECTLY BALANCED MINISTRY OF JESUS IN OUR LIVES.
YOU CAN LEARN TO PRAY WITH AUTHORITY.
THINK OF MATTHEW AND THINK OF YOUR AUTHORITY.
IN MARK JESUS IS THE OX, A SERVANT ANIMAL.
JESUS LIVED TO SERVE AND DIED AS A SERVANT… HIS ATTITUDE (Phi 2)
JESUS HAD A BALANCED MINISTRY AND HE LIVES IN US.
IN LUKE WE SEE JESUS AS THE PICTURE OF A MAN. WE ARE TO BE SOUL WINNERS.
PEOPLE WANT TO SEE SOMEBODY THEY CAN RELATE TO.
IN JOHN WE SEE THE DIVINITY OF JESUS (EAGLE) AND WE ALWAYS SEE A DEMONSTRATION BEFORE THE “I AM”
IN John 2 HE TURNED THE WATER INTO WINE AND IN John 15 HE SAID, “I am the vine.”
IN John 4 A MAN COMES TO JESUS AND ASKS HIM TO HEAL HIS SON AND JESUS TELLS HIM TO, “Go your way, your son lives”
John 14 JESUS SAID, “I AM THE WAY THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE”.
John 5 JESUS ASKED THE MAN, “DO YOU WANT TO BE MADE WHOLE?”
THIS WAS A DEMONSTRATION OF “JESUS AS THE DOOR”
HE SAID IN John 10: “I AM THE DOOR”
John 6
THE LITTLE BOY WHO COMES WITH 5 LOAVES, 2 FISH. HE DIDN’T ASK GOD TO MULTIPLY IT. HE JUST GAVE THANKS AND BLESSED IT.
PRAISE IS THE BIGGEST EXPRESSION OF FAITH.
JESUS PROCLAIMS; “I AM THE BREAD OF LIFE”

Hearing Vs. Listening
May 8, 2024 • Pastor Brody Christian
1 SAMUEL 3:2-10 msg THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LISTENING AND HEARING IS – HEARING IS ALWAYS OCCURING AND LISTENING IS ACTUALLY ACTION TAKEN BY THE LISTENER! THE PARABLE OF THE SCATTERED SEED / FARMER PLANTING THE WORD - MARK 4 THE WAY YOU HEAR THE WORD, IS THE WAY YOU MEASURE AND RESPOND TO THE WORD IS THE MEASURE THAT THE WORD WORKS IN YOUR LIFE! MATTHEW 10:27NIV 27 What I tell you in the dark, speak in the daylight; what is whispered in your ear, proclaim from the roofs. YOU GO WHERE YOU’RE SENT YOU STAY WHERE YOU’RE PUT YOU GIVE WHAT YOU’VE GOT UNTIL YOU’RE DONE PSALM 37:7 BE STILL BEFORE THE LORD, AND WAIT PATIENTLY FOR HIM PROVERBS 18:13MSG – ANSWERING BEFORE LISTENING IS BOTH STUPID AND RUDE JOHN 10:27 MY SHEEP HEAR MY VOICE. I KNOW THEM, AND THEY FOLLOW ME JOB 33:14-15 FOR GOD SPEAKS IN ONE WAY, AND IN TWO, THOUGH PEOPLE DO NOT PERCEIVE IT. IN A DREAM, IN A VISION OF THE NIGHTS, WHEN DEEP SLEEP FALLS ON MEN FIRST – FOR SOMEONE TO SPEAK WITH YOU – YOU MUST BE IN A RELATIONSHIP SECONDLY – YOU MUST HAVE A SERVANT TYPE ATTITUDE. KNOW YOUR PLACE BEFORE GOD THIRDLY – HAVE AN OPEN EAR TO HEAR WHAT GOD IS SAYING TO YOU AND REALLY LISTEN TO HIM LASTLY – ACT ON WHAT YOU HEAR FROM GOD
The Power of Worship
May 5, 2024 • Pastor Brody Christian
John 16:33NIV “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” AMP 33 I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace. In the world you have tribulation and distress and suffering, but be courageous [be confident, be undaunted, be filled with joy]; I have overcome the world.” [My conquest is accomplished, My victory abiding.] (TPT), “And everything I’ve taught you is so that the peace which is in me will be in you and will give you great confidence as you rest in me. For in this unbelieving world you will experience trouble and sorrows, but you must be courageous,[a] for I have conquered the world!”[b]” -Praise is celebration.. worship is adoration – A DEEP LOVE & RESPECT ACTS 16:25 niv 25 About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them. 26 Suddenly there was such a violent earthquake that the foundations of the prison were shaken. At once all the prison doors flew open, and everyone’s chains came loose.27 The jailer woke up, and when he saw the prison doors open, he drew his sword and was about to kill himself because he thought the prisoners had escaped. 28 But Paul shouted, “Don’t harm yourself! We are all here!” 29 The jailer called for lights, rushed in and fell trembling before Paul and Silas. 30 He then brought them out and asked, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” 31 They replied, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved—you and your household.” HOW YOU FEEL CAN NOT CHANGE HOW YOU FOLLOW we worship Jesus regardless of the season 3 REASONS WHY WE WORSHIP 1. WORSHIP ALWAYS BRINGS YOU BACK TO WHERE YOU NEED TO BE 2. WORSHIP TAKES YOU TO WHERE YOU NEED TO GO 3. WORSHIP PLANTS YOU, & WILL SUSTAIN YOU RIGHT IN THE MOMENT WORSHIP IS WHAT WE DO, IT'S WHO WE ARE
Searching For God
April 28, 2024 • Pastor Brody Christian
Ephesians 3:20 (TMSG) God can do anything, you know—far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams! He does it not by pushing us around but by working within us, his Spirit deeply and gently within us. God wants us to leave a mark on humanity Acts 20:24 (NLT) But my life is worth nothing to me unless I use it for finishing the work assigned me by the Lord Jesus—the work of telling others the Good News about the wonderful grace of God Five Things about being intentional about a life with an IMPACTFUL shadow: 1. Your shadow has influence whether you want it to have or not A life casting a Godly shadow, moves others onto God’s agenda. HEBREWS 12:14csb Pursue peace with everyone, and holiness — without it no one will see the Lord. A self-centered shadow causes those in your shadow to drift 2. Your shadow is always consistent with your life A shadow is a reflection not a projection 3. An Impactful shadow comes from God’s ongoing work in your life. Jeremiah 18:2 New Living Translation (NLT) 2 “Go down to the potter’s shop, and I will speak to you there.” if you want to have a lasting impact yield to - GOD'S HANDS - GOD'S DESIGN - GOD'S PROCESS 4. Our greatest impact does not come from our access to many but our access to few John 4:39 (NRSV) Many Samaritans from that city believed in him because of the woman’s testimony, “He told me everything I have ever done.” John 4:40 (NRSV) So when the Samaritans came to him, they asked him to stay with them; and he stayed there two days. John 4:41 (NRSV) And many more believed because of his word. John 4:42 (NRSV) They said to the woman, “It is no longer because of what you said that we believe, for we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this is truly the Savior of the world.” - We think stages and crowds – God thinks coffee shops and relationships - We see websites and followers – Gods sees ordinary 1:1 conversation - We see conference and campaigns - God sees doing life together 5. Obeying His impulses, and take the risk The power of our shadow is not for status but for service Acts 20:24 (NLT) But my life is worth nothing to me unless I use it for finishing the work assigned me by the Lord Jesus—the work of telling others the Good News about the wonderful grace of God Ephesians 3:20 (TMSG) God can do anything, you know—far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams! He does it not by pushing us around but by working within us, his Spirit deeply and gently within us
