Sermon Text,
New King James Version (NKJV):
14 Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. 15 Rejoice
with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep. 16 Be
of the same mind toward one another. Do not set your mind on high
things, but associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own
opinion.
17 Repay no one evil for evil. Have regard for good things
in the sight of all men. 18 If
it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all
men. 19 Beloved,
do not avenge yourselves, but rather give
place to wrath; for it is written, “Vengeance is Mine,
I will repay,” says
the Lord. 20 Therefore
“If your enemy is hungry, feed him;
If he is thirsty, give him a drink;
For in so doing you will heap coals of fire on his head.”
21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. |

than he ought to think, but to think soberly, as God has dealt to
each one a measure of faith. 4 For
as we have many members in one body, but all the members do not
have the same function, 5 so
we, beingmany,
are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another.6 Having
then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, let
us use them: if
prophecy, let
us prophesy in
proportion to our faith; 7 or

who exhorts, in exhortation; he who gives, with liberality; he who
leads, with diligence; he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness.

in God's Plan" by Pastor Mark

Todays Sermon Text:
Romans 11:11-36
New King James Version (NKJV).
11 I say then, have
they stumbled that they should fall? Certainly not! But through
their fall, to provoke them to jealousy, salvation has come
to the Gentiles.
12 Now if their fall is riches
for the world, and their failure riches for the Gentiles, how much
more their fullness!
13 For
I speak to you Gentiles; inasmuch as I am an apostle to the
Gentiles, I magnify my ministry,
14 if by any means I may provoke to
jealousy those who are my flesh and save some of them.
15 For if their being
cast away is the reconciling of the world, what will
their acceptance be but life from the dead?
16 For
if the firstfruit is holy, the lump is also holy;
and if the root is holy, so are the branches.
17 And if some of the branches were
broken off, and you, being a wild olive tree, were grafted in
among them, and with them became a partaker of the root and
fatness of the olive tree,
18 do not boast against the branches.
But if you do boast, remember that you do not support the
root, but the root supports you.
19 You
will say then, “Branches were broken off that I might be grafted
in.”
20 Well said. Because of
unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by faith. Do not be
haughty, but fear.
21 For if God did not spare the
natural branches, He may not spare you either.
22 Therefore consider the goodness and
severity of God: on those who fell, severity; but toward you,
goodness, if you continue in His goodness. Otherwise you
also will be cut off.
23 And they also, if they do not
continue in unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft
them in again.
24 For if you were cut out of the
olive tree which is wild by nature, and were grafted contrary to
nature into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these, who
are natural branches, be grafted into their own
olive tree?
25 For
I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this
mystery, lest you should be wise in your own opinion, that
blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the
Gentiles has come in.
26 And so all Israel will be saved, as
it is written:
“The Deliverer will come
out of Zion,
And He will
turn away ungodliness from Jacob;
27 For this
is My covenant with them,
When I take away their sins.”
28 Concerning
the gospel they are enemies for your sake, but concerning
the election they are beloved for the sake of the fathers.
29 For the gifts and the calling of
God are irrevocable.
30 For as you were once disobedient to
God, yet have now obtained mercy through their disobedience,
31 even so these also have now been
disobedient, that through the mercy shown you they also may obtain
mercy.
32 For God has committed them all to
disobedience, that He might have mercy on all.
33 Oh,
the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God!
How unsearchable are His judgments and His ways past
finding out!
34 “For
who has known the mind of the
Lord?
Or who has
become His counselor?”
35 “Or who has
first given to Him
And it shall be repaid to him?”
36 For
of Him and through Him and to Him are all things, to whom
be glory forever. Amen.

For of Him and through Him and to
Him are all things, to whom be glory forever, Amen.

Todays Sermon Text and Special
Music:
11 I
say then, has God cast away His people? Certainly not! For I also
am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of
Benjamin.
2 God has not cast away His people
whom He foreknew. Or do you not know what the Scripture says of
Elijah, how he pleads with God against Israel, saying,
3 “Lord,
they have killed Your prophets and torn down Your altars, and I
alone am left, and they seek my life”?
4 But what does the divine response
say to him? “I have reserved for Myself
seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal.”
5 Even so then, at this present time
there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
6 And if by grace, then
it is no longer of works; otherwise grace is no longer
grace. But if it is of works, it is no longer grace;
otherwise work is no longer work.
7 What
then? Israel has not obtained what it seeks; but the elect have
obtained it, and the rest were blinded.
8 Just as it is written:
“God has given them a
spirit of stupor,
Eyes that they
should not see
And ears that
they should not hear,
To this very day.”
9 And
David says:
“Let their table become a
snare and a trap,
A stumbling
block and a recompense to them.
10 Let their
eyes be darkened, so that they do not see,
And bow down their back always.”

Romans 10:16-21,

16 But they have not all obeyed

17 So then faith comes by hearing, and
hearing by the word of God.
18 But I say, have they not
heard? Yes indeed:
“Their sound has gone out to all the earth,
And their words to the ends of the world.”
19 But I
say, did Israel not know? First Moses says:
“I will provoke you to jealousy by
those who are not a nation,
I will move you to anger by a foolish nation.”
20 But
Isaiah is very bold and says:
“I was found by those who did not seek Me;
I was made manifest to those who did not ask for
Me.”
21 But to
Israel he says:
“All day long I have stretched out My hands
To a disobedient and contrary people.”

Sermon Text;
God the Sovereign Savior
To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of
David the servant of
theLord,
who spoke to the Lord the
words of this song on
the day that the Lord delivered
him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul.
And he said:
1I will
love You, O Lord,
my strength.
2The Lord is
my rock and my fortress and my deliverer;
My God, my strength, in
whom I will trust;
My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
3I
will call upon the Lord, who is worthy to
be praised;
So shall I be saved from my enemies.
4The
pangs of death surrounded me,
And the floods of ungodliness made me afraid.
5The
sorrows of Sheol surrounded me;
The snares of death confronted me.
6In
my distress I called upon the Lord,
And cried out to my God;
He heard my voice from His temple,
And my cry came before Him, even to
His ears.
7Then
the earth shook and trembled;
The foundations of the hills also quaked and were shaken,
Because He was angry.
8Smoke
went up from His nostrils,
And devouring fire from His mouth;
Coals were kindled by it.
9He
bowed the heavens also, and came down
With darkness under His feet.
10And
He rode upon a cherub, and flew;
He flew upon the wings of the wind.
11He
made darkness His secret place;
His canopy around Him was dark
waters
And thick
clouds of the skies.
12From
the brightness before Him,
His thick clouds passed with hailstones and coals of fire.
13The Lord thundered
from heaven,
And the Most High uttered His
voice,
Hailstones and coals of fire.
14He
sent out His arrows and scattered the foe,
Lightnings in abundance, and He vanquished them.
15Then
the channels of the sea were seen,
The foundations of the world were uncovered
At Your rebuke, O Lord,
At the blast of the breath of Your nostrils.
16He
sent from above, He took me;
He drew me out of many waters.
17He
delivered me from my strong enemy,
From those who hated me,
For they were too strong for me.
18They
confronted me in the day of my calamity,
But the Lord was
my support.
19He
also brought me out into a broad place;
He delivered me because He delighted in me.
20The Lord rewarded
me according to my righteousness;
According to the cleanness of my hands
He has recompensed me.
21For
I have kept the ways of the Lord,
And have not wickedly departed from my God.
22For
all His judgments were before
me,
And I did not put away His statutes from me.
23I
was also blameless before Him,
And I kept myself from my iniquity.
24Therefore
the Lord has
recompensed me according to my righteousness,
According to the cleanness of my hands in His sight.
25With
the merciful You will show Yourself merciful;
With a blameless man You will show Yourself blameless;
26With
the pure You will show Yourself pure;
And with the devious
You will show Yourself shrewd.
27For
You will save the humble people,
But will bring down haughty
looks.
28For
You will light my lamp;
The Lord my
God will enlighten my darkness.
29For
by You I can run against a troop,
By my God I can leap over a wall.
30As for God, His
way is perfect;
The word of the Lord is
proven;
He is a
shield to all who
trust in Him.
31For
who is God,
except the Lord?
And who is a
rock, except our God?
32It is God
who arms me with
strength,
And makes my way perfect.
33He
makes my feet like the feet of deer,
And sets me on my
high places.
34He
teaches my hands to make war,
So that my arms can bend a bow of bronze.
35You
have also given me the shield of Your salvation;
Your right hand has held me up,
Your gentleness has made me great.
36You
enlarged my path under me,
So my feet did not slip.
37I
have pursued my enemies and overtaken them;
Neither did I turn back again till they were destroyed.
38I
have wounded them,
So that they could not rise;
They have fallen under my feet.
39For
You have armed me with strength for the battle;
You have subdued under me those who rose up against me.
40You
have also given me the necks of my enemies,
So that I destroyed those who hated me.
41They
cried out, but there was none
to save;
Even to
the Lord,
but He did not answer them.
42Then
I beat them as fine as the dust before the wind;
I cast them out like
dirt in the streets.
43You
have delivered me from the strivings of the people;
You have made me the head of the nations;
A people I have not known shall serve me.
44As
soon as they hear of me they obey me;
The foreigners submit to me.
45The
foreigners fade away,
And come frightened from their hideouts.
46The Lord lives!
Blessed be my
Rock!
Let the God of my salvation be exalted.
47It is God
who avenges me,
And subdues the peoples under me;
48He
delivers me from my enemies.
You also lift me up above those who rise against me;
You have delivered me from the violent man.
49Therefore
I will give thanks to You, O Lord,
among the Gentiles,
And sing praises to Your name.
50Great
deliverance He gives to His king,
And shows mercy to His anointed,
To David and his descendants forevermore.

For “whoever calls on the name of the
LORD shall be saved.”
Todays Sermon Tex in Romans 9:30-10:13,
New King James Version (NKJV).
Present Condition of Israel
30 What shall we say then? That Gentiles, who did not pursue
righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the
righteousness of faith; 31 but
Israel, pursuing the law of righteousness, has not attained to the
law of righteousness. 32 Why?
Because they
did not seek
it by faith, but as
it were, by the works of the law. For
they stumbled at that stumbling stone. 33 As
it is written:
“Behold, I lay in Zion a stumbling stone and rock of offense,
And whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.”
Israel Needs the Gospel
10 Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is
that they may be saved. 2 For
I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not
according to knowledge. 3 For
they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and seeking to
establish their own righteousness, have not submitted to the
righteousness of God. 4 For
Christ is the
end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.
5 For Moses writes about the righteousness which is of the
law, “The
man who does those things shall live by them.” 6 But
the righteousness of faith speaks in this way, “Do
not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’” (that
is, to bring Christ down from
above) 7 or, “‘Who
will descend into the abyss?’”(that is, to bring Christ up
from the dead). 8 But
what does it say? “The
word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that
is, the word of faith which we preach): 9 that
if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your
heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For
with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth
confession is made unto salvation. 11 For
the Scripture says, “Whoever
believes on Him will not be put to shame.” 12 For
there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord
over all is rich to all who call upon Him. 13 For “whoever
calls on the name of the LORD
shall be saved.” |

3 For I could wish that I myself were accursed from Christ
for my brethren, my countrymen according
to the flesh, 4 who
are Israelites, to whom pertain the
adoption, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the
service of
God,and the promises; 5 of
whom are the
fathers and from whom, according to the flesh, Christ came, who
is over all, the eternally
blessed God. Amen.
Israel’s Rejection and God’s Purpose
6 But it is not that the word of God has taken no effect.
For they are not
all Israel who are of
Israel, 7 nor are
they all children
because they are the seed of Abraham; but, “In
Isaac your seed shall be called.” 8 That
is, those who arethe
children of the flesh, these are not
the children of God; but the children of the promise are counted
as the seed. 9 For
this is the
word of promise: “At
this time I will come and Sarah shall have a son.”
10 And not only this, but
when Rebecca also had conceived by one man, evenby
our father Isaac 11 (for the
children not yet
being born, nor having done any good or evil, that the purpose of
God according to election might stand, not of works but of Him who
calls), 12 it
was said to her, “The
older shall serve the younger.” 13 As
it is written, “Jacob
I have loved, but Esau I have hated.”
Israel’s Rejection and God’s Justice
14 What shall we say then? Is
there unrighteousness
with God? Certainly not!15 For
He says to Moses, “I
will have mercy on whomever I will have mercy, and I will have
compassion on whomever I will have compassion.” |

how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? 33 Who

justifies. 34 Who is he
who condemns? It
isChrist who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even

From Suffering
to Glory
18 For I consider that the sufferings
of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the
glory which shall be revealed in us.
19 For the earnest expectation of the
creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God.
20 For the creation was subjected to
futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it
in hope;
21 because the creation itself also
will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious
liberty of the children of God.
22 For we know that the whole creation
groans and labors with birth pangs together until now.
23 Not only that, but we also
who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan
within ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption, the redemption
of our body.
24 For we were saved in this hope, but
hope that is seen is not hope; for why does one still hope for
what he sees?
25 But if we hope for what we do not
see, we eagerly wait for it with perseverance. |

New King James Version (NKJV)
14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are
sons of God. 15 For
you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you
received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba,
Father.” 16 The
Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children
of God, 17 and
if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ,
if indeed we suffer with Him, that
we may also be glorified together. |

"No Condemnation" by Pastor Mark Hornbaker. Romans 8:1-13.

Todays Sermon Text in Romans 8:1-13.
New King James Version (NKJV)
Free from Indwelling Sin
8 There is therefore
now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus,who do not
walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. 2 For
the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free
from the law of sin and death. 3 For
what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh,
God did by
sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of
sin: He condemned sin in the flesh, 4 that
the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who
do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. 5 For
those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the
things of the flesh, but those who
live according to
the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. 6 For
to be carnally minded is death,
but to be spiritually minded is life
and peace. 7 Because
the carnal mind is enmity
against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed
can be. 8 So
then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God.
9 But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed
the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the
Spirit of Christ, he is not His. 10 And
if Christ is in
you, the body is dead
because of sin, but the Spirit is life
because of righteousness. 11 But
if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you,
He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your
mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.
Sonship Through the Spirit
12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors—not to the flesh, to
live according to the flesh. 13 For
if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the
Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. |

Hannah’s Prayer
1st Samuel 2:1-10

2 And Hannah prayed, and said, My heart rejoiceth
in the Lord,
mine horn is exalted in the Lord:
my mouth is enlarged over mine enemies; because I
rejoice in thy salvation.
2 There is none holy as the Lord:
for there is none beside thee: neither is there any rock
like our God.
3 Talk no more so exceeding proudly; let not
arrogancy come out of your mouth: for the Lord is
a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed.
4 The bows of the mighty men are broken, and they
that stumbled are girded with strength.
5 They that were full have hired out themselves
for bread; and they that were hungry ceased: so that the
barren hath born seven; and she that hath many children
is waxed feeble.
6 The Lord killeth,
and maketh alive: he bringeth down to the grave, and
bringeth up.
7 The Lord maketh
poor, and maketh rich: he bringeth low, and lifteth up.
8 He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and
lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them
among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of
glory: for the pillars of the earth are the Lord's,
and he hath set the world upon them.
9 He will keep the feet of his saints, and the
wicked shall be silent in darkness; for by strength
shall no man prevail.
10 The adversaries of the Lord shall
be broken to pieces; out of heaven shall he thunder upon
them: the Lord shall
judge the ends of the earth; and he shall give strength
unto his king, and exalt the horn of his anointed. |

"Awake, you who sleep,
Arise from the dead,
And Christ will give you
light."
Todays Sermon Text in Ephesians 5:1-17.
New King James Version (NKJV)
Walk in Love
5 Therefore be imitators of God as dear children. 2 And
walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for
us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma.
3 But fornication and all uncleanness or covetousness, let
it not even be named among you, as is fitting for saints; 4 neither
filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor coarse jesting, which are not
fitting, but rather giving of thanks. 5 For
this you know, that no
fornicator, unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater,
has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God. 6 Let
no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things
the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience. 7 Therefore
do not be partakers with them.
Walk in Light
8 For you were once darkness, but now you
are light in the
Lord. Walk as children of light 9 (for
the fruit of the Spirit is in
all goodness, righteousness, and truth), 10 finding
out what is acceptable to the Lord. 11 And
have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but
rather expose them. 12 For
it is shameful even to speak of those things which are done by
them in secret.13 But
all things that are exposed are made manifest by the light, for
whatever makes manifest is light. 14 Therefore
He says:
“Awake, you who sleep,
Arise from the dead,
And Christ will give you light.”
Walk in Wisdom
15 See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as
wise, 16 redeeming
the time, because the days are evil.
17 Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will
of the Lord is. |

He Is Risen
16 Now when the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, Mary the
mother of James,
and Salome bought spices, that they might come and anoint Him. 2 Very
early in the morning, on the first day of
the week, they came to the tomb when the sun had risen. 3 And
they said among themselves, “Who will roll away the stone from the
door of the tomb for us?” 4 But
when they looked up, they saw that the stone had been rolled
away—for it was very large. 5 And
entering the tomb, they saw a young man clothed in a long white
robe sitting on the right side; and they were alarmed.
6 But he said to them, “Do not be alarmed. You seek Jesus of
Nazareth, who was crucified. He is risen! He is not here. See the
place where they laid Him.7 But
go, tell His disciples—and Peter—that He is going before you into
Galilee; there you will see Him, as He said to you.”
8 So they went out quickly and
fled from the tomb, for they trembled and were amazed. And they
said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid.
Mary Magdalene Sees the Risen Lord
9 Now when He rose
early on the first day of
the week, He appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom He had
cast seven demons. 10 She
went and told those who had been with Him, as they mourned and
wept. 11 And
when they heard that He was alive and had been seen by her, they
did not believe.
Jesus Appears to Two Disciples
12 After that, He appeared in another form to two of them as
they walked and went into the country. 13 And
they went and told it to
the rest, but they
did not believe them either.

14 Later He appeared to the eleven as they sat at the table;
and He rebuked their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they
did not believe those who had seen Him after He had risen. |

The Coming King
Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion!
Shout, O daughter of Jerusalem!
Behold, your King is coming to you;
He is just
and having salvation,
Lowly and riding on a donkey,
A colt, the foal of a donkey.
Zechariah 9:9
Matthew 21:1-11,
King James Version (KJV).
21 And when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and were come to
Bethphage, unto the mount of Olives, then sent Jesus two
disciples,
2 Saying unto them, Go into the village over against you,
and straightway ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her:
loose them, and bring them unto me.
3 And if any man say ought unto you, ye shall say, The Lord
hath need of them; and straightway he will send them.
4 All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was
spoken by the prophet, saying,
5 Tell ye the daughter of Sion, Behold, thy King cometh unto
thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an
ass.
6 And the disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded them,
7 And brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their
clothes, and they set him thereon.
8 And a very great multitude spread their garments in the
way; others cut down branches from the trees, and strawed them in
the way.
9 And the multitudes that went before, and that followed,
cried, saying, Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed is he that
cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest.
10 And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was
moved, saying, Who is this?
11 And the multitude said, This is Jesus the prophet of
Nazareth of Galilee. |

who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does

that you may continue
to believe in the

Confidence and Compassion in Prayer
14 Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if
we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. 15 And
if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have
the petitions that we have asked of Him.
16 If anyone sees his brother sinning a sin which
does not lead to
death, he will ask, and He will give him life for those who commit
sin not leading to
death. There is sin leading to
death. I do not say that he should pray about that. 17 All
unrighteousness is sin, and there is sin not leading to
death.
Knowing the True—Rejecting the False
18 We know that whoever is born of God does not sin; but he
who has been born of God keeps himself, and
the wicked one does not touch him.
19 We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies under
the sway of the
wicked one.
20 And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us
an understanding, that we may know Him who is true; and we are in
Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and
eternal life.

6 This is He who came by water and blood—Jesus Christ; not

there are three that bear witness on earth: the
Spirit, the water, and the blood; and these three agree as one.
9 If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is
greater; for this is the witness of God which He
has testified of His Son. 10 He
who believes in the Son of God has the witness in himself; he who

hour has come that the Son of Man should be glorified. 24 Most
assuredly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the
ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it produces
much grain. 25 He
who loves his life will lose it, and he who hates his life in this
world will keep it for eternal life. 26 If
anyone serves Me, let him follow Me; and where I am, there My
servant will be also. If anyone serves Me, him My Father
will honor.
Jesus Predicts His Death on the Cross
27 “Now
My soul is troubled, and what shall I say? ‘Father, save Me from
this hour’? But for this purpose I came to this hour. 28 Father,
glorify Your name.”
Then a voice came from heaven, saying, “I
have both glorified it and
will glorifyit again.”
29 Therefore the people who stood by and heard it said
that it had thundered. Others said, “An angel has spoken to Him.”
30 Jesus answered and said, “This
voice did not come because of Me, but for your sake. 31 Now
is the judgment of this world; now the ruler of this world will be
cast out. 32 And
I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all peoples to
Myself.” 33 This
He said, signifying by what death He would die.
34 The people answered Him, “We have heard from the law that
the Christ remains forever; and how can You
say, ‘The
Son of Man must be lifted up’? Who is this Son of Man?”
35 Then Jesus said to them, “A
little while longer the light is with you. Walk while you have the
light, lest darkness overtake you; he who walks in darkness does
not know where he is going. 36 While
you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become sons
of light.” These

"Love
One Another" by Pastor Mark Hornbaker. 1st
John 4:7-21.
Sermon text: 1 John 4:7-21,New
King James Version (NKJV).
Knowing God Through Love
7 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and
everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. 8 He
who does not love does not know God, for God is love. 9 In
this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent
His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through
Him. 10 In
this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent
His Son to
bethe propitiation for our sins. 11 Beloved,
if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
Seeing God Through Love
12 No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another,
God abides in us, and His love has been perfected in us. 13 By
this we know that we abide in Him, and He in us, because He has
given us of His Spirit. 14 And
we have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son as Savior
of the world. 15 Whoever
confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he
in God.16 And
we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is
love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him.
The Consummation of Love
17 Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may
have boldness in the day of judgment; because as He is, so are we
in this world. 18 There
is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear
involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in
love. 19 We
love Him because He
first loved us.
Obedience by Faith
20 If someone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he
is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen,
how can he love God
whom he has not seen? 21 And
this commandment we have from Him: that he who loves God must love
his brother also. |

Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of

brethren. He who does not lovehis brother abides
in death. 15 Whoever
hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has
eternal life abiding in him.
The Outworking of Love
16 By this we know love, because He laid down His life for
us. And we also ought to lay down our lives
for the brethren. 17 But
whoever has this world’s goods, and sees his brother in need, and
shuts up his heart from him, how does the love of God abide in
him?
18 My little children, let us not love in word or in tongue,
but in deed and in truth. 19 And
by this we know that we
are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before Him. 20 For
if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and knows
all things. 21 Beloved,
if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence toward God. 22 And
whatever we ask we receive from Him, because we keep His
commandments and do those things that are pleasing in His sight. 23 And
this is His commandment: that we should believe on the name of His
Son Jesus Christ and love one another, as He gave us commandment.
The Spirit of Truth and the Spirit of Error
24 Now he who keeps His commandments abides in Him, and He
in him. And by this we know that He abides in us, by the Spirit
whom He has given us. |

that it is the last hour. 19 They
went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of
us, they would have continued with us; but they
went out that they
might be made manifest, that none of them were of us.
20 But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you know
all things. 21 I
have not written to you because you do not know the truth, but
because you know it, and that no lie is of the truth.
22 Who is a liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ?
He is antichrist who denies the Father and the Son. 23 Whoever
denies the Son does not have the Father either; he who
acknowledges the Son has the Father also.
Let Truth Abide in You
24 Therefore let that abide in you which you heard from the
beginning. If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, you
also will abide in the Son and in the Father. 25 And
this is the promise that He has promised us—eternal life.
26 These things I have written to you concerning those who try
to deceive you.27 But
the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and
you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing
teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie,
and just as it has taught you, you will abide
in Him. |

God Himself will be with them and
be their God. 4 And
God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no
more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain,
for the former things have passed away.”

things new.” And He said to me, “Write,

“Where is He who has been born King of the Jews? For we have seen
His star in the East and have come to worship Him.”
3 When Herod the king heard this, he
was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.4 And
when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the
people together, he inquired of them where the Christ was to be
born.

is written by the prophet:
‘But
you, Bethlehem, in the
land of Judah,
Are not the least among the rulers of Judah;
For out of you shall come a Ruler
Who will shepherd My people Israel.’”
7 Then Herod, when he had secretly called the wise men,
determined from them what time the star appeared. 8 And
he sent them to Bethlehem and said, “Go and search carefully for
the young Child, and when you have found Him, bring
back word to me, that I may come and worship Him also.”
9 When they heard the king, they departed; and behold, the
star which they had seen in the East went before them, till it
came and stood over where the young Child was. 10 When
they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy. 11 And
when they had come into the house, they saw the young Child with
Mary His mother, and fell down and worshiped Him. And when they
had opened their treasures, they presented gifts to Him: gold,
frankincense, and myrrh.
12 Then, being divinely warned in a dream that they should
not return to Herod, they departed for their own country another
way. |

"God
Sent His Son" by Pastor Mark Hornbaker.
Luke 2:1-20.
Todays Text in Luke
2:1-20, New King James Version (NKJV).
The Birth of Jesus
2 In
those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be
taken of the entire Roman world.
2 (This was the first census that took
place while Quirinius was governor of Syria.)
3 And everyone went to their own town
to register.
4 So
Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea,
to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house
and line of David.
5 He went there to register with Mary,
who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child.
6 While they were there, the time came
for the baby to be born,
7 and she gave birth to her firstborn,
a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger,
because there was no guest room available for them.
8 And
there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping
watch over their flocks at night.
9 An angel of the Lord appeared to
them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were
terrified.
10 But the angel said to them, “Do not
be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all
the people.
11 Today in the town of David a Savior
has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord.
12 This will be a sign to you: You
will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”
13 Suddenly
a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel,
praising God and saying,
14 “Glory
to God in the highest heaven,
and
on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.”
15 When
the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said
to one another, “Let’s go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has
happened, which the Lord has told us about.”
16 So
they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was
lying in the manger.
17 When they had seen him, they spread
the word concerning what had been told them about this child,
18 and all who heard it were amazed at
what the shepherds said to them.
19 But Mary treasured up all these
things and pondered them in her heart.
20 The shepherds returned, glorifying
and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which
were just as they had been told. |

"The
Birth of Christ" by Pastor Mark Hornbaker.
Matthew 1:18-25.
Todays text in Matthew 1:18-25,
New King James Version (NKJV).
Christ Born of Mary
18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was as follows: After His
mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, before they came together,
she was found with child of the Holy Spirit. 19 Then
Joseph her husband, being a just man, and
not wanting to make her a public example, was minded to put her
away secretly. 20 But
while he thought about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord
appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not
be afraid to take to you Mary your wife, for that which is
conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. 21 And
she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus,
for He will save His people from their sins.”
22 So all this was done that it might be fulfilled which was
spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying: 23 “Behold,
the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall
call His name Immanuel,” which
is translated, “God with us.”
24 Then Joseph, being aroused from sleep, did as the angel
of the Lord commanded him and took to him his wife, 25 and
did not know her till she had brought forth her firstborn Son. And
he called His name Jesus.

1:1-14.
Todays text in John 1:1-14,

The Eternal Word
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God,
and the Word was God. 2 He
was in the beginning with God. 3 All
things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made
that was made. 4 In
Him was life, and the life was the light of men. 5 And
the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not
comprehend it.
John’s Witness: The True Light
6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. 7 This
man came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all
through him might believe. 8 He
was not that Light, but was
sent to bear
witness of that Light. 9 That
was the true Light which gives light to every man coming into the
world.
10 He was in the world, and the world was made through Him,
and the world did not know Him. 11 He
came to His own, and
His own did not receive
Him.12 But
as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become
children of God, to those who believe in His name: 13 who
were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the
will of man, but of God.
The Word Becomes Flesh
14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we
beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,

Judgmeny" by Pastor Mark Hornbaker. Matthew 27:1-2

Jesus Handed Over to Pontius Pilate
27 When morning came, all the chief priests and elders of
the people plotted against Jesus to put Him to death. 2 And
when they had bound Him, they led Him away and delivered Him to
Pontius Pilate the
governor.
Jesus Faces Pilate
11 Now Jesus stood before the governor. And the governor
asked Him, saying, “Are You the King of the Jews?”
Jesus said to him, “It
is as you say.” 12 And
while He was being accused by the chief priests and elders, He
answered nothing.
13 Then Pilate said to Him, “Do You not hear how many things
they testify against You?”14 But
He answered him not one word, so that the governor marveled
greatly.
Taking the Place of Barabbas
15 Now at the feast the governor was accustomed to releasing
to the multitude one prisoner whom they wished. 16 And
at that time they had a notorious prisoner called Barabbas. 17 Therefore,
when they had gathered together, Pilate said to them, “Whom do you
want me to release to you? Barabbas, or Jesus who is called
Christ?” 18 For
he knew that they had handed Him over because of envy.
19 While he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent
to him, saying, “Have nothing to do with that just Man, for I have
suffered many things today in a dream because of Him.”
20 But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitudes
that they should ask for Barabbas and destroy Jesus. 21 The
governor answered and said to them, “Which of the two do you want
me to release to you?”
They said, “Barabbas!”
22 Pilate said to them, “What then shall I do with Jesus who
is called Christ?”
They all
said to him, “Let Him be crucified!”
23 Then the governor said, “Why, what evil has He done?”
But they cried out all the more, saying, “Let Him be crucified!”
24 When Pilate saw that he could not prevail at all, but
rather that a
tumult was rising, he took water and washed his hands
before the multitude, saying, “I am innocent of the blood of this
just Person. You see to
it.”
25 And all the people answered and said, “His blood be on
us and on our children.” |

"Denying Jesus" by Pastor Mark Hornbaker. Matthew 26:57-75.
Todays text in Matthew 26:57-75,
New King James Version (NKJV).
Jesus Faces the Sanhedrin
57 And those who had laid hold of Jesus led Him away
to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were
assembled. 58 But
Peter followed Him at a distance to the high priest’s courtyard.
And he went in and sat with the servants to see the end.
59 Now the chief priests, the elders, and
all the council sought false testimony against Jesus to put Him to
death, 60 but
found none. Even though many false witnesses came forward, they
found none. But at last
two false witnesses came
forward 61 and
said, “This fellow said,
‘I am able to destroy the temple of God and to build it in three
days.’”
62 And the high priest arose and said to Him, “Do You answer
nothing? What is
it these men
testify against You?” 63 But
Jesus kept silent. And the high priest answered and said to Him,
“I put You under oath by the living God: Tell us if You are the
Christ, the Son of God!”
64 Jesus said to him, “It
is as you said.
Nevertheless, I say to you, hereafter you will see the Son of Man
sitting at the right hand of the Power, and coming on the clouds
of heaven.”
65 Then the high priest tore his clothes, saying, “He has
spoken blasphemy! What further need do we have of witnesses? Look,
now you have heard His blasphemy! 66 What
do you think?”
They answered and said, “He is deserving of death.”
67 Then they spat in His face and beat Him; and others
struck Him with
the palms of their hands, 68 saying,
“Prophesy to us, Christ! Who is the one who struck You?”
Peter Denies Jesus, and Weeps Bitterly
69 Now Peter sat outside in the courtyard. And a servant
girl came to him, saying, “You also were with Jesus of Galilee.”
70 But he denied it before them all,
saying, “I do not know what you are saying.”
71 And when he had gone out to the gateway, another girl saw
him and said to those who
were there, “This fellow also
was with Jesus of Nazareth.”
72 But again he denied with an oath, “I do not know the
Man!”
73 And a little later those who stood by came up and said to
Peter, “Surely you also areone of
them, for your speech betrays you.”
74 Then he began to curse and swear, saying, “I
do not know the Man!”
Immediately a rooster crowed. 75 And
Peter remembered the word of Jesus who had said to him, “Before
the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.” So
he went out and wept bitterly. |

46 Rise,
let us be going. See, My betrayer is at hand.”
47 And while He was still speaking, behold, Judas, one of
the twelve, with a great multitude with swords and clubs, came
from the chief priests and elders of the people.
48 Now His betrayer had given them a sign, saying, “Whomever
I kiss, He is the One; seize Him.” 49 Immediately
he went up to Jesus and said, “Greetings, Rabbi!” and kissed Him.
50 But Jesus said to him, “Friend,
why have you come?”
Then they came and laid hands on Jesus and took Him. 51 And
suddenly, one of those who
were with Jesus
stretched out his hand
and drew his sword, struck the servant of the high priest, and cut
off his ear.
52 But Jesus said to him, “Put
your sword in its place, for all who take the sword will perish by
the sword. 53 Or
do you think that I cannot now pray to My Father, and He will
provide Me with more than twelve legions of angels? 54 How
then could the Scriptures be fulfilled, that it must happen thus?”
55 In that hour Jesus said to the multitudes, “Have
you come out, as against a robber, with swords and clubs to take
Me? I sat daily with you, teaching in the temple, and you did not
seize Me. 56 But
all this was done that the Scriptures of the prophets might be
fulfilled.”
Then all the disciples forsook Him and fled.
Pastor Hornbaker reference to John
18:4-6:
4 Jesus therefore, knowing all things that would come upon
Him, went forward and said to them, “Whom
are you seeking?”
5 They answered Him, “Jesus of Nazareth.”
Jesus said to them, “I
am He.” And
Judas, who betrayed Him, also stood with them. 6 Now
when He said to them, “I
am He,” they
drew back and fell to the ground.

He took with Him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and He began
to be sorrowful and deeply distressed. 38 Then
He said to them, “My
soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here and watch
with Me.”
39 He went a little farther and fell on His face, and
prayed, saying, “O
My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me;
nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will.”
40 Then He came to the disciples and found them sleeping,
and said to Peter,“What!
Could you not watch with Me one hour? 41 Watch
and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing,
but the flesh is weak.”
42 Again, a second time, He went away and prayed, saying, “O
My Father, if this cup cannot pass away from Me unless I
drink it, Your will be done.” 43 And
He came and found them asleep again, for their eyes were heavy.
44 So He left them, went away again, and prayed the third
time, saying the same words. 45 Then
He came to His disciples and said to them, “Are you still
sleeping and resting? Behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of
Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners. 46 Rise,

of the Feast of
Unleavened Bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying to Him,
“Where do You want us to prepare for You to eat the Passover?”
18 And He said, “Go
into the city to a certain man, and say to him, ‘The Teacher says,
“My time is at hand; I will keep the Passover at your house with
My disciples.”’”
19 So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them; and they
prepared the Passover.
20 When evening had come, He sat down with the twelve. 21 Now
as they were eating, He said, “Assuredly,
I say to you, one of you will betray Me.”
22 And they were exceedingly sorrowful, and each of them
began to say to Him, “Lord, is it I?”
23 He answered and said, “He
who dipped his hand
with Me in the dish will betray Me.24 The
Son of Man indeed goes just as it is written of Him, but woe to
that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been

the kingdom of heaven is like a man traveling to a far
country, who called his own servants and delivered his
goods to them.
15 And to one he
gave five talents, to another two, and to another one, to each
according to his own ability; and immediately he went on a
journey.
16 Then he who had
received the five talents went and traded with them, and made
another five talents.
17 And likewise he
who had received two gained two more also.
18 But he who had
received one went and dug in the ground, and hid his lord’s money.
19 After
a long time the lord of those servants came and settled accounts
with them.
20 “So
he who had received five talents came and brought five other
talents, saying, ‘Lord, you delivered to me five talents; look, I
have gained five more talents besides them.’
21 His lord said to
him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; you were
faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many
things. Enter into the joy of your lord.’
22 He also who had
received two talents came and said, ‘Lord, you delivered to me two
talents; look, I have gained two more talents besides them.’
23 His
lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant;
you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler
over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.’

he who had received the one talent came and said, ‘Lord, I knew
you to be a hard man, reaping where you have not sown, and
gathering where you have not scattered seed.
25 And
I was afraid, and went and hid your talent in the ground. Look,
there you have what is yours.’
26 “But
his lord answered and said to him, ‘You wicked and lazy servant,
you knew that I reap where I have not sown, and gather where I
have not scattered seed.

have deposited my money with the bankers, and at my coming I would
have received back my own with interest.

24:36-51, New International Version (NIV).
36 “But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the
angels in heaven, nor the Son, but
only the Father. 37 As
it was in the days of Noah, so
it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 38 For
in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking,
marrying and giving in marriage, up
to the day Noah entered the ark; 39 and
they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and
took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the
Son of Man. 40 Two
men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left. 41 Two
women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the
other left.
42 “Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what
day your Lord will come.43 But
understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time
of night the thief was coming, he
would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken
into. 44 So
you also must be ready, because
the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.
45 “Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom
the master has put in charge of the servants in his household to
give them their food at the proper time? 46 It
will be good for that servant whose master finds him doing so when
he returns. 47 Truly
I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his possessions. 48 But
suppose that servant is wicked and says to himself, ‘My master is
staying away a long time,’ 49 and
he then begins to beat his fellow servants and to eat and drink
with drunkards. 50 The
master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect
him and at an hour he is not aware of. 51 He
will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the hypocrites,
where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

"Signs of the End, The Faith of Jerusalem" by Pastor
Mark Hornbaker. Matthew 24:15-35.
|
Todays text, Matthew 24:15-35
New International Version (NIV)
15 “So when you see standing in the holy place ‘the
abomination that causes desolation,’
spoken
of through the prophet Daniel—let the reader understand— 16 then
let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 17 Let
no one on the housetop go
down to take anything out of the house. 18 Let
no one in the field go back to get their cloak. 19 How
dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing
mothers! 20 Pray
that your flight will not take place in winter or on the Sabbath. 21 For
then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of
the world until now—and never to be equaled again.
22 “If those days had not been cut short, no one would
survive, but for the sake of the elect those
days will be shortened. 23 At
that time if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Messiah!’ or,
‘There he is!’ do not believe it. 24 For
false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform great
signs and wonders to
deceive, if possible, even the elect.25 See,
I have told you ahead of time.
26 “So if anyone tells you, ‘There he is, out in the
wilderness,’ do not go out; or, ‘Here he is, in the inner rooms,’
do not believe it. 27 For
as lightning that comes
from the east is visible even in the west, so will be the coming of
the Son of Man. 28 Wherever
there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather.
29 “Immediately after the distress of those days
“‘the sun will be darkened,
and
the moon will not give its light;
the stars will fall from the sky,
and
the heavenly bodies will be shaken.’
30 “Then will appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven.
And then all the peoples of the earth will
mourn when they see the
Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven, with
power and great glory. 31 And
he will send his angels with
a loud trumpet call, and
they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of
the heavens to the other.
32 “Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its
twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is
near. 33 Even
so, when you see all these things, you know that it is
near, right at the door. 34 Truly
I tell you, this generation will certainly not pass away until all
these things have happened. 35 Heaven
and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.

New
International Version (NIV)
3 As
Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the
disciples came to him privately. “Tell us,” they said, “when will
this happen, and what will be the sign of your coming and
of the end of the age?”
4 Jesus
answered: “Watch
out that no one deceives you. 5 For
many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Messiah,’ and will
deceive many. 6 You
will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are
not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to
come. 7 Nation
will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.There will
be famines and
earthquakes in various places. 8 All
these are the beginning of birth pains.
9 “Then
you will be handed over to be persecuted and
put to death, and you
will be hated by all nations because of me. 10 At
that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and
hate each other, 11 and
many false prophets will
appear and deceive many people. 12 Because
of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold,13 but
the one who stands firm to the end will be saved. 14 And
this gospel of the kingdom will
be preached in the whole world as
a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.

23 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you
hypocrites! You give a tenth of
your spices—mint, dill and cumin. But you have neglected the more
important matters of the law—justice, mercy and faithfulness. You
should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former. 24 You
blind guides! You
strain out a gnat but swallow a camel.
25 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you
hypocrites! You clean the outside of the cup and dish, but
inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence.26 Blind
Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup and dish, and then the
outside also will be clean.
27 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you
hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which
look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of the
bones of the dead and everything unclean. 28 In
the same way, on the outside you appear to people as righteous but
on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness.
29 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you
hypocrites! You build tombs for the prophets and
decorate the graves of the righteous. 30 And
you say, ‘If we had lived in the days of our ancestors, we would
not have taken part with them in shedding the blood of the
prophets.’ 31 So
you testify against yourselves that you are the descendants of
those who murdered the prophets. 32 Go
ahead, then, and completewhat your ancestors started!
33 “You snakes! You brood of vipers! How
will you escape being condemned to hell?34 Therefore
I am sending you prophets and sages and teachers. Some of them you
will kill and crucify; others
you will flog in your synagogues and
pursue from town to town.35 And
so upon you will come all the righteous blood that has been shed
on earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to
the blood of Zechariah son of Berekiah, whom
you murdered between the temple and the altar. 36 Truly

23 Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples: 2 “The
teachers of the law and
the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat. 3 So
you must be careful to do everything they tell you. But do not do
what they do, for they do not practice what they preach. 4 They
tie up heavy, cumbersome loads and put them on other people’s
shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to
move them.
5 “Everything they do is done for people to see: They
make their phylacteries wide
and the tassels on their garments long; 6 they
love the place of honor at banquets and the most important seats
in the synagogues; 7 they
love to be greeted with respect in the marketplaces and to be
called ‘Rabbi’ by others.
8 “But you are not to be called ‘Rabbi,’ for you have one
Teacher, and you are all brothers. 9 And
do not call anyone on earth ‘father,’ for you have one Father, and
he is in heaven. 10 Nor
are you to be called instructors, for you have one Instructor, the
Messiah. 11 The
greatest among you will be your servant. 12 For
those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble
themselves will be exalted.

you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
33 They answered him, “We are Abraham’s descendants and
have never been slaves of anyone. How can you say that we shall be
set free?”
34 Jesus replied, “Very
truly I tell you, everyone who sins is a slave to sin. 35 Now

it forever. 36 So

23 That same day the Sadducees, who
say there is no resurrection, came
to him with a question. 24 “Teacher,”
they said, “Moses told us that if a man dies without having
children, his brother must marry the widow and raise up offspring
for him. 25 Now
there were seven brothers among us. The first one married and
died, and since he had no children, he left his wife to his
brother. 26 The
same thing happened to the second and third brother, right on down
to the seventh. 27 Finally,
the woman died. 28 Now
then, at the resurrection, whose wife will she be of the seven,
since all of them were married to her?”
29 Jesus replied, “You
are in error because you do not know the Scriptures or
the power of God. 30 At
the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in
marriage; they will be
like the angels in heaven. 31 But
about the resurrection of the dead—have you not read what God said
to you, 32 ‘I
am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? He
is not the God of the dead but of the living.”

they said, “we know that you are a man of integrity and that you

us then, what is your opinion? Is it right to pay the imperial tax to
