  5. The Garden of Eden Adam & Eve-----God Isaiah 59:2 THE BRIDGE Commit to follow Jesus Luke 9:23

  6. FOUR SOILS- Mark 4:1-20The beginning of Jesus’ ministry Mark 1:14-15- The Kingdom of GodThe end of Jesus’ ministry Acts 1:1-3- The Kingdom of God Which soil am I? Which one does Jesus want you to be?

  7. The plan for a QT The Cornerstone Brief Overview of the Bible -66 books in the Bible -OT 39 Books The Law (Moses)/ History and Writings (Psalms)/ Prophets -Gospels 4 Jesus- His life/His ministry/His death/His resurrection -NT 23-Acts of the Apostles New Testament Old Testament Luke 24:44 Gospels 1 Cor. 11:1 Beginner plan: Start in Mark Read 1 chapter a day Heb. 1:1-3 Eph 2:20 Advance plan: 1 chapter in the Law/History 1 chapter in Prophets 1 section in the gospel 1 chapter in the NT Intermediate plan: 1 chapter in OT 1 section in the gospel 1 chapter in NT

LUKE 11:1-PRAYER Adoration- 1 Chronicles 29:10-11 Confessing-1 John 1:9 Thanksgiving- 1 Thessalonians 5:18 Supplication- Hebrews 5:7 This is a simple tool you can share with a new or young follower of Jesus to help them get established in their prayer life.

Who needs to have the most influence in your life? Holy Place Priests (Godly Counsel) Inner Courts – Hebrews (Believers) Outer Courts – Gentiles (Non-believers) Influence people to Jesus

  10. THE LORDSHIP OF JESUS CHRIST Luke 6:46- Is Jesus Lord of your life? Every follower of Jesus must submit to His Lordship in their life. Peter’s example- 1.) John 1:40-42- First encounter with Jesus Peter’s 1st response= He followed Jesus 2.)Mt. 4:18-20- Second encounter with Jesus Peter’s 2nd response= Left his nets and followed Jesus 3.)Luke 5:1-11- Third encounter with Jesus Peter’s 3rd response (THE DECISIVE POINT)= Called Jesus Lord, left everything and followed Jesus Conclusion: John 21:1-3- Peter wasn’t following Jesus again! John 21:19-22, John 12:26- You MUST FOLLOW JESUS! It’s a process! Have you called Jesus Lord? Are you following Jesus?

  11. TEMPTATION What is something that every person struggles with? TEMPTATION- Matthew 18:7- How did Jesus combat temptation? Matthew 4:1-11- By the Word 1.) Key verses-3-4 Deut. 8:3 2.)

Survive or Thrive?

  13. THE CALL TO FOLLOW Big Picture- A world at war (Not conventional) Ephesians 6:12- Spiritual warfare 1.) Two Kingdoms- Luke 4:5-8 -Satan tests Jesus’ commitment to the Father -Already given to Jesus- Psalms 2:1-9 1.) Kingdom of God (Allies) 2.) Kingdom of Satan (Axis) What are wars generally fought over? Land This war is different… 2.) Spiritual Battle Field- Luke 11:21-22 1.) Strong= Satan 2.) Stronger= Son of God 3.)

Learn from Jesus= Mentor, Fellowship 3.) Become like Jesus= Become a fisher of men Are you following Jesus in these 3 areas?

  14. Introduction: Generally speaking, when the book of Revelation is brought up, what is the first thought? End times! I agree that Revelation does discuss the end times, but I think we overlook something very important in the first three chapters of the book. Offense > Defense Rev. 1:4, 11-Jesus rating the 7 churches in Asia Focus in on Ephesus: A case study (more on this NT church than any) Part 1: Latter Days (AD 90) Rev 2.1-7- Good, but failing Rev. 2:4-Problem-Abanded 1st love Rev. 2:5-Solution-Remember, repent, and do 1st works Rev. 2:5b-Remove Lamp stand (see Rev. 1:20=The church) What were their first works? Part 2: Early Days (AD 50) 1 Cor. 16.8-9- An open door Acts 19.1, 8-12 Key: vs. 10 = advance (All residents of Asia) Acts 19:18-19 Revival (3.5 million dollars) Acts 19.20- Continued to advance Acts 19.21-41, Key verses: 23,26- Riot/Influence in Ephesus and Asia Part 3: Transition (AD 60) Ac 20.25-32 Fear (focus) Fierce wolves…(Internal turmoil) 1 T 1.3-7 False teaching (focus = prevent) Point: Offense > Defense Goal: Advance the gospel; not just keep pure Highest value is not theology/doctrineHighest value is growth/progress Rev. 2:7, 11, 17, 26, Rev. 3:5, 12, 21- The one who conquers Rev. 3:21- Jesus also conquered Do you have an offensive mindset to conquer just like Jesus?

  15. QT Why? Personal Relationship God Ex. 33:11 (Friendship) Mk. 1:35 (DWJD=QT) Jn. 17:3 (Eternal Life) Me What to look for in a QT? Sin to avoid Promise to claim Example to follow Command to obey Knowledge to gain Sin to confess Circumstances Internalize Apply WORD PRAY The Word Hand Deut. 6:6-9- Saturate your life with the Word of God How? Hearing – Rom 10.17 Reading – Rev 1.3 Study – Act 17.11 Memo – Ps 119.9,11 Meditate – Ps 1.2-3 Apply it- James 1:22 Jesus, a Man of the Word More important than food – Mat 4.4 His confidence in it – Mat 26.54 His obedience to it – Jn 19.28 His competence in it – Lk 24.27 He is the Word – Jn 1.1-2, 14

  16. Why Your Quiet Time Stinks • Divorced from Prayer (Lk 11.9-13) • Failure to Obey (Jn 14.21, 1 Sam 3.10) • Desire for the Word (Mat 4.4, Jer 15.16, Ps 19.7-11) • Consistency (Heb 5.14) • Share your Relationship ( Is 50.4, Acts 8:26-35)

  17. The Prayer Hand Confession – 1 Jn 1.9 Petition – Phil. 4:6 Intersession – Eph 6.18-19 Thanksgiving – 1 Thess. 5:17-18 Praise – Ps 146.1-2 Jesus, a Man of Prayer Priority – Mk 1.21-37, Lk 6.12-13, Lk 5.15-16, Lk 19.45-46 He modeled prayer – Lk 9.18, Lk 11.1 With and for His men – Lk 9.28, Lk 22.31-32, Jn 17.9 The Disciple’s Prayer – Mt 6.9-13 Methods of Prayer Prayer Lists Free Style Praying thru Scripture Praying thru your Schedule Pray Immediately Group Prayer Effective Fellowship Heb 10.24-25 Part 1: “Let us consider…” Part 2: “Let us… meet together” Part 3: “Let us encourage one another…” Fellowship starts before we meet!

  21. The Kingdom of God- Luke 19:11-27 Parable of the Ten Minas 1.) Nobleman= Jesus 2.) Slaves=People called to labor 3.) Minas= Resources, talents, gifting… 4.) His citizens = Did not want Him to reign over them What did the nobleman tell them to do? Engage in business Is Jesus reigning over your life? Are you engaging in His business, the Kingdom business? If not, what will Jesus do to you? Luke 19:27

  22. Kingdom of God- Mt. 4:23- Jesus preached the good news of the Kingdom. The good news of the Kingdom permeates throughout the gospels, in fact it was Jesus’ favorite topic. Catholic JW C Kingdom of God Wrong, Unnecessary, and Controlling Route Jesus Mt. 7:13-14 Jn. 14:6 Isaiah 53:5-7 Jesus is the entrance/straight path to enter the Kingdom of God I J B Acts 8:12, 14:22, 19:8-The early church preached the good news of the Kingdom We need not make people conform to a religious culture to enter the Kingdom-Acts 15:1, 5, 19-20 We must ensure people enter the Kingdom through Jesus, and not a religious culture-1 Cor. 1:10-13
