Acts 2:42-47



Life Among the Believers



42 (Ac 1:14; 20:7; 2:46) They continued steadfastly in the apostles'

teaching and fellowship, in the breaking of bread and in the prayers.

43 Fear came to every soul. And many wonders and signs were done through

the apostles.

44 (Ac 4:32) All who believed were together and had all things in common.

45 They sold their property and goods and distributed them to all,

according to their need.

46 (Ac 5:42; 20:7) And continuing daily with one mind in the temple,

and breaking bread from house to house, they ate their food with gladness

and simplicity of heart,

47 (Ac 11:24; 2:41) praising God and having favor with all the people.

And the Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved.



[42] And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship,

and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.

[43] And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by

the apostles.

[44] And all that believed were together, and had all things common;

[45] And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as

every man had need.

[46] And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking

bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness

of heart,

[47] Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added

to the church daily such as should be saved.



I) The role of Teaching in

a) Jesus' ministry



Matthew 7:29



29 for He taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.

[29] For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.



Matthew 28:19-20



19 (Mk 16:15-16; Ac 1:8) Go therefore and make disciples of all nations,

baptizing them in the name of the Father

and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

20 (Mt 18:20; Ac 2:42) teaching them to observe all things I have commanded

you. And remember, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Amen.



[19] Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of

the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

[20] Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you:

and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.



b) The early church



Acts 2:42



42 (Ac 1:14; 20:7; 2:46) They continued steadfastly in the apostles'

teaching and fellowship, in the breaking of bread and in the prayers.



[42] And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship,

and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.



Acts 4:18



18 (Ac 5:40) Then they called them and commanded them not to speak

or teach at all in the name of Jesus.



[18] And they called them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach

in the name of Jesus.



Acts 5:42



42 (Ac 2:46; 8:35) Daily, in the temple and from house to house,

they did not cease to teach and preach Jesus Christ.



[42] And daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not to teach

and preach Jesus Christ.



Acts 13:9-12





9 (Ac 4:8; 2:4) Then Saul, who also is called Paul, filled

with the Holy Spirit, stared at him and said,

10 (Hos 14:9; Mt 13:38) "You son of the devil, enemy of all righteousness,

full of deceit and of all fraud, will you not cease perverting the right

ways of the Lord?

11 (Ex 9:3; Ps 32:4) Now, look! The hand of the Lord is against you,

and you shall be blind, not seeing the sun for a time."

Immediately mist and darkness fell on him, and he went about

seeking someone to lead him by the hand.

12 (Ac 13:7) When the proconsul saw what had happened, he believed

and was astonished at the doctrine of the Lord.



[9] Then Saul, (who also is called Paul,) filled with the Holy Ghost, set

his eyes on him,

[10] And said, O full of all subtilty and all mischief, thou child of the

devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the

right ways of the Lord?

[11] And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be

blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell on him a

mist and a darkness; and he went about seeking some to lead him by the hand.

[12] Then the deputy, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished

at the doctrine of the Lord.



John 14:26



26 (Jn 15:26; 16:7) But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father

will send in My name, will teach you everything and remind you of all that

I told you.

[26] But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send

in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your

remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.



B) THe result of Teaching Acts 2:43



43 Fear came to every soul. And many wonders and signs were done through

the apostles.



[43] And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by

the apostles.



C) Why it is important today



"The Physcial realm is all evil" -> Gnosticism Colossians 2:8-33



Fullness of Life in Christ



8 (1Ti 6:20; Gal 4:3) Beware lest anyone captivate you through philosophy

and vain deceit, in the tradition of men and the elementary principles

of the world, and not after Christ.

9 (Col 1:19; Jn 1:14) For in Him lives all the fullness of the Godhead bodily.

10 And you are complete in Him, who is the head of all authority and power.

11 (Ro 2:29; 6:6) In Him you were also circumcised with the circumcision

made without hands, by putting off the body of the sins of the flesh,

by the circumcision of Christ,

12 (Ac 2:24; Ro 4:24) buried with Him in baptism, in which also you were

raised with Him through the faith of the power of God, who has raised Him

from the dead.

13 (Eph 2:1; Jas 2:26) And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision

of your flesh, He has resurrected together with Him, having forgiven you all

sins.

14 (Ac 3:19; Col 2:20) He blotted out the handwriting of ordinances that was

against us and contrary to us, and He took it out of the way, nailing it to

the cross.

15 (Eph 4:8; Lk 10:18) And having disarmed authorities and powers,

He made a show of them openly, triumphing over them by the cross.

16 (Heb 9:10; 1Ch 23:31) Therefore let no one judge you regarding food,

or drink, or in respect of a holy day or new moon or sabbath days.

17 (Heb 8:5; 10:1) These are shadows of things to come, but the substance

belongs to Christ.

18 (Col 2:23; 2:8) Do not let anyone cheat you of your reward by delighting

in false humility and the worship of angels, dwelling on those things which

he has not seen, vainly arrogant due to his unspiritual mind,

19 (Eph 4:15-16) and not supporting the head, from which the entire body,

nourished and knit together by joints and sinews, grows as God gives

the increase.



[8] Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after

the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.

[9] For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.

[10] And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and

power:

[11] In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without

hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision

of Christ:

[12] Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through

the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.

[13] And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh,

hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;

[14] Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which

was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;

[15] And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them

openly, triumphing over them in it.

[16] Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of

an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:

[17] Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.

[18] Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and

worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen,

vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,

[19] And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands

having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the

increase of God.



The New Life in Christ



20 (Col 2:8; 2:14) Therefore, if you died with Christ to the elementary

principles of the world, why, as if you were living in the world,

do you subject yourself to legalistic rules?

21 (1Ti 4:3) "Do not touch! Do not taste! Do not handle!"

22 (Isa 29:13; 1Co 6:13) These all are to perish with use and are aligned

with the commandments and doctrines of men.

23 (Col 2:18; 1Ti 4:8) These things have indeed a show of wisdom in

self-imposed worship and humility and neglecting of the body,

but are worthless against the indulgence of the flesh.



[20] Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world,

why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances,

[21] (Touch not; taste not; handle not;

[22] Which all are to perish with the using;) after the commandments and

doctrines of men?

[23] Which things have indeed a shew of wisdom in will worship, and

humility, and neglecting of the body; not in any honour to the satisfying of

the flesh.



"Jesus was not fully man" -> Gnosticism 1 John 4:2



2 (1Co 12:3; Jn 1:14) This is how you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit

that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God,



[2] Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that

Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:



"The God of the OT is irrelevant" -> marcionism



Hebrews 13:8



8 (Heb 1:12; Mal 3:6) Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, and today,

and forever.

[8] Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.



2 Timothy 4:1-2



1 (Ac 10:42; 1Ti 5:21) I charge you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus

Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at His appearing

and His kingdom:

2 (Titus 1:13; 2:15) Preach the word, be ready in season and out of season,

reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with all patience and teaching.



[1] I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall

judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;

[2] Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke,

exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.



"Jesus wasn't fully God" John 1:1



1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God,

and the Word was God.



[1] In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the

Word was God.



"I can live as I want" -> Antinomianism



A) Known your Bible



2 Timothy 2:15



15 (Mt 13:52) Study to show yourself approved by God, a workman who need

not be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.



[15] Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to

be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.



Matthew 7:15-20



A Tree and Its Fruit

Lk 6:43-44



15 (1Jn 4:1; Mt 24:11; Col 2:8) "Beware of false prophets who come to you

in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.

16 (Mt 12:33; Jas 3:12) You will know them by their fruit.

Do men gather grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles?

17 (Mt 12:33-35) Even so, every good tree bears good fruit.

But a corrupt tree bears evil fruit.

18 A good tree cannot bear evil fruit,

nor can a corrupt tree bear good fruit.

19 (Mt 3:10; Lk 3:9) Every tree that does not bear good fruit

is cut down and thrown into the fire.

20 (Mt 7:16) Therefore, by their fruit you will know them.



[15] Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but

inwardly they are ravening wolves.

[16] Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or

figs of thistles?

[17] Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree

bringeth forth evil fruit.

[18] A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree

bring forth good fruit.

[19] Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast

into the fire.

[20] Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.



Acts 17:11



11 (Jn 5:39; Isa 34:16) These were more noble than those in Thessalonica,

for they received the word with all eagerness,

daily examining the Scriptures, to find out if these things were so.



[11] These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received

the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily,

whether those things were so.



Colossians 2:8



8 (1Ti 6:20; Gal 4:3) Beware lest anyone captivate you through philosophy

and vain deceit, in the tradition of men and the elementary principles

of the world, and not after Christ



[8] Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after

the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.



B) Do what it says!



James 1:22



22 (Ro 2:13; Lk 6:46-48) Be doers of the word and not hearers only,

deceiving yourselves.



[22] But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own

selves.



Matthew 7:21-23



I Never Knew You

Lk 13:25-27



21 (Mt 25:11-12; Lk 6:46) "Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall

enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father

who is in heaven.

22 (Nu 24:4; Mal 3:17-18) Many will say to Me on that day,

'Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name,

cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonderful works in Your name?'

23 (Ps 6:8; Mt 25:41) But then I will declare to them,

'I never knew you. Depart from Me, you who practice evil.'Ps 6:8.



[21] Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the

kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in

heaven.

[22] Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in

thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many

wonderful works?

[23] And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye

that work iniquity.



John 14:15



15 (Eph 6:24) "If you love Me, keep My commandments."



[15] If ye love me, keep my commandments.



John 16:13



13 (Jn 14:17; 14:26; 15:26) But when the Spirit of truth comes, He will guide

you into all truth. For He will not speak on His own authority. But He will

speak whatever He hears, and He will tell you things that are to come.



[13] Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into

all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear,

that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.



2 Peter 1:3-11



The Christian's Call and Election



3 (1Th 2:12; 2Th 2:14) His divine power has given to us all things that

pertain to life and godliness through the knowledge

of Him who has called us by His own glory and excellence,

4 (Heb 12:10; 1Jn 3:2) by which He has given to us exceedingly great

and precious promises, so that through these things you might become

partakers of the divine nature

and escape the corruption that is in the world through lust.

5 (2Pe 3:18; Php 4:8) For this reason make every effort to add virtue

to your faith; and to your virtue, knowledge;

6 (Ac 24:25; 2Pe 1:3) and to your knowledge, self-control; and to your

self-control, patient endurance; and to your patient endurance, godliness;

7 (Ro 12:10; 1Co 13:1-8) and to your godliness, brotherly kindness;

and to your brotherly kindness, love.

8 (Jn 15:2; Col 3:16) For if these things reside in you and abound,

they ensure that you will neither be useless nor unfruitful

in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

9 (Eph 5:26; Heb 9:14) But the one who lacks these things is blind

and shortsighted because he has forgotten that he was cleansed

from his former sins.

10 (2Pe 3:17) Therefore, brothers, diligently make your calling

and election sure. For if you do these things, you will never stumble.

11 For in this way the entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord

and Savior Jesus Christ will be abundantly provided for you.

12 (Php 3:1; 1Jn 2:21) Therefore I will not be negligent to always

remind you of these things, though you know them and are established

in the truth that is present with you.

13 (2Pe 3:1; 1:14) I consider it right, as long as I live in this body,

to stir you up by reminding you,



[3] According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain

unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to

glory and virtue:

[4] Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by

these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the

corruption that is in the world through lust.

[5] And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to

virtue knowledge;

[6] And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience

godliness;

[7] And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.

[8] For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall

neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

[9] But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and

hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.

[10] Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and

election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:

[11] For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the

everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.



C) Stay connected and accountable



Galatians 6:1



1 (Heb 12:13; Ro 15:1; 1Co 2:15) Brothers, if a man is caught

in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore such

a one in the spirit of meekness, watching yourselves,

lest you also be tempted.



[1] Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual,

restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest

thou also be tempted.



1 Timothy 1:3-11



Warning Against False Doctrine



3 (Gal 1:6-7; 1Ti 6:3) As I urged you when I went into Macedonia,

continue to remain at Ephesus so that you might command some to teach

no other doctrine,

4 (1Ti 4:7; Titus 1:14) nor pay attention to fables and endless genealogies,

which cause debates rather than godly edifying, which is in faith.

5 (2Ti 1:5; 2:22) Now the goal of this command is love from a pure heart,

and from a good conscience, and from sincere faith.

6 (Titus 1:10) From this, some have lost their way and turned aside

to empty talk,

7 (1Ti 6:4) desiring to be teachers of the law, and understanding

neither what they say nor what they affirm.

8 (Ro 7:16) But we know that the law is good if someone uses it lawfully.

9 (Gal 5:23; 3:19) And we know that the law is not given for a righteous

person, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners,

for the unholy and the profane, for those who kill their fathers and mothers,

for murderers,

10 (2Ti 4:3; Lev 18:22) for the sexually immoral, for sodomites, for slave

traders, for liars, for perjurers, and for anything else that is contrary

to sound doctrine,

11 (Gal 2:7; 2Co 4:4) according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God,

which was committed to my trust.



[3] As I besought thee to abide still at Ephesus, when I went into

Macedonia, that thou mightest charge some that they teach no other doctrine,

[4] Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister

questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do.

[5] Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a

good conscience, and of faith unfeigned:

[6] From which some having swerved have turned aside unto vain jangling;

[7] Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say,

nor whereof they affirm.

[8] But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully;

[9] Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the

lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and

profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,

[10] For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for

menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other

thing that is contrary to sound doctrine;

[11] According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was

committed to my trust.



Jude 17-23



Warnings and Exhortations



17 But, beloved, remember the words that were previously spoken

by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ.

18 They said to you, "In the last days there will be scoffers

who will walk after their own ungodly desires."

19 These are the men who cause divisions, sensual, devoid of the Spirit.

20 But you, beloved, build yourselves up in your most holy faith.

Pray in the Holy Spirit.

21 Keep yourselves in the love of God while you are waiting for the mercy

of our Lord Jesus Christ, which leads to eternal life.

22 On some have compassion, using discernment.

23 And others save with fear while pulling them out of the fire,

hating even the garment stained by the flesh.



[17] But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the

apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;

[18] How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who

should walk after their own ungodly lusts.

[19] These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit.

[20] But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith,

praying in the Holy Ghost,

[21] Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord

Jesus Christ unto eternal life.

[22] And of some have compassion, making a difference:

[23] And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even

the garment spotted by the flesh.



1)John 13:31-38, Mark 14:27-31, Matthew 26:31-35 , Luke 22:31-38,

John 14 , John 15:1-17



John 13:31-38



The New Commandment



31 (Jn 7:39; 14:13) When he had gone out, Jesus then said,

"Now is the Son of Man glorified, and in Him God is glorified.

32 (Jn 12:23; 17:1) If God is glorified in Him, God will also glorify Him

in Himself and will immediately glorify Him.

33 (Jn 7:33-34; 1Jn 2:1) "Little children, yet a little while I am with you.

You will seek Me. And as I said to the Jews, so now I tell you,

'Where I am going, you cannot come.'

34 (Lev 19:18; Eph 5:2) "A new commandment I give to you,

that you love one another, even as I have loved you,

that you also love one another.

35 (Jn 17:21) By this all men will know that you are My disciples,

if you have love for one another."



Peter's Denial Foretold

Mt 26:31-35; Mk 14:27-31; Lk 22:31-34



36 (2Pe 1:14; Jn 13:33) Simon Peter said to Him, "Lord, where are You going?"

Jesus answered him, "Where I am going, you cannot follow Me now.

But you shall follow Me afterward."

37 Peter said to Him, "Lord, why can I not follow You now?

I will lay down my life for Your sake."

38 (Mk 14:30) Jesus answered Him, "Will you lay down your life for My sake?

Truly, truly I say to you, the rooster shall not crow until you have denied Me

three times."



[31] Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world

be cast out.

[32] And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.

[33] This he said, signifying what death he should die.

[34] The people answered him, We have heard out of the law that Christ

abideth for ever: and how sayest thou, The Son of man must be lifted up? who

is this Son of man?

[35] Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while is the light with you.

Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that

walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth.

[36] While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children

of light. These things spake Jesus, and departed, and did hide himself from

them.

[37] But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed

not on him:

[38] That the saying of Esaias the prophet might be fulfilled, which he

spake, Lord, who hath believed our report? and to whom hath the arm of the

Lord been revealed?



Mark 14:27-31



Peter's Denial Foretold

Mt 26:31-35; Lk 22:31-34; Jn 13:36-38



27 (Zec 13:7; Mt 26:31) Jesus said to them,

"All of you will fall away on account of Me this night, for it is written:

'I will strike the shepherd,

and the sheep will be scattered.' (Zec 13:7).

28 (Mt 28:16; Mk 16:7) But after I have risen,

I will go before you to Galilee."

29 Peter said to Him, "Even if all fall away, I will not."

30 (Mk 14:66-72; Jn 13:38) Jesus said to him, "Truly, I say to you that

this day, during the night, before the rooster crows twice,

you will deny Me three times."

31 But he said more vehemently, "If I must die with You, I will not deny You."

They all said the same thing.



[27] And Jesus saith unto them, All ye shall be offended because of me this

night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be

scattered.

[28] But after that I am risen, I will go before you into Galilee.

[29] But Peter said unto him, Although all shall be offended, yet will not I.

[30] And Jesus saith unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this day, even

in this night, before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice.

[31] But he spake the more vehemently, If I should die with thee, I will not

deny thee in any wise. Likewise also said they all.



Matthew 26:31-35



Peter's Denial Foretold

Mk 14:27-31; Lk 22:31-34; Jn 13:36-38



31 (Zec 13:7; Jn 16:32) Then Jesus said to them,

"All of you will fall away on account of Me this night,

for it is written:

'I will strike the shepherd,

and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered.' (Zec 13:7).

32 (Mt 28:10; 28:16) But after I have risen, I will go before you to Galilee."

33 (Lk 22:33) Peter answered, "Though all men will fall away on account

of You, yet I will never fall away."

34 (Jn 13:38; Mt 26:75) Jesus said to him, "Truly I say to you, this night,

before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times."

35 (Jn 13:37) Peter said to Him, "Though I should die with You, yet I will

not deny You." And all the disciples spoke in this manner.



[31] Then saith Jesus unto them, All ye shall be offended because of me this

night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the

flock shall be scattered abroad.

[32] But after I am risen again, I will go before you into Galilee.

[33] Peter answered and said unto him, Though all men shall be offended

because of thee, yet will I never be offended.

[34] Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this night, before

the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.

[35] Peter said unto him, Though I should die with thee, yet will I not deny

thee. Likewise also said all the disciples.



Luke 22:31-38



Peter's Denial Foretold



31 (Am 9:9; Job 1:6-12) Then the Lord said, "Simon, Simon, listen!

Satan has demanded to have you to sift you as wheat.

32 (Jn 21:15-17; Ro 8:34) But I have prayed for you that your faith

may not fail. And when you have repented, strengthen your brothers."

33 (Mt 26:33-35; Mk 14:29) He said to Him, "Lord, I am ready to go

with You to prison and to death."

34 (Mt 26:34; Mk 14:30) He said, "I tell you, Peter, before the rooster

crows today, you will deny three times that you know Me."



[31] And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have

you, that he may sift you as wheat:

[32] But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art

converted, strengthen thy brethren.

[33] And he said unto him, Lord, I am ready to go with thee, both into

prison, and to death.

[34] And he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day,

before that thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me.



Purse, Bag, and Sword



35 (Lk 9:3; Mt 10:9-10) Then He said to them, "When I sent you without purse

or bag or sandals, did you lack anything?"

They said, "Nothing."

36 He said to them, "But now, let him who has a purse take it and also a bag.

And let him who has no sword sell his garment and buy one.

37 (Isa 53:12) For I tell you, what is written must yet be accomplished in Me,

'And He was numbered with the transgressors.'(Isa 53:12.)

Indeed, what is written concerning Me has a fulfillment."

38 They said, "Lord, look, here are two swords."

He said to them, "It is enough."



[35] And he said unto them, When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and

shoes, lacked ye any thing? And they said, Nothing.

[36] Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it,

and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment,

and buy one.

[37] For I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be accomplished

in me, And he was reckoned among the transgressors: for the things

concerning me have an end.

[38] And they said, Lord, behold, here are two swords. And he said unto

them, It is enough.



John 14



John 14

Jesus the Way to the Father



1 (Jn 12:44; 16:22-23) "Let not your heart be troubled. You believe in God.

Believe also in Me.

2 (Jn 13:33; 13:36) In My Father's house are many dwelling places. If it were

not so, I would have told you. I am going to prepare a place for you.

3 (Jn 12:26; 14:28) And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again

and receive you to Myself, that where I am, you may be also.

4 You know where I am going, and you know the way."

5 (Jn 11:16) Thomas said to Him, "Lord, we do not know where You are going.

How can we know the way?"

6 (Jn 10:9; 1:14; Ac 4:12) Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth,

and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

7 (Jn 8:19) If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also.

From now on you do know Him and have seen Him."

8 Philip said to Him, "Lord, show us the Father,

and that is sufficient for us."

9 (Heb 1:3; Jn 12:45; Col 1:15) Jesus said to him, "Have I been with you

such a long time, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen

Me has seen the Father. So how can you say, 'Show us the Father'?

10 (Jn 5:19; 10:38) Do you not believe that I am in the Father

and the Father is in Me? The words that I say to you I do not speak

on My own authority. But the Father who lives in Me does the works.

11 (Jn 5:36; 10:38) Believe Me that I am in the Father, and the Father

is in Me. Or else believe Me on account of the works themselves.

12 (Mt 21:21; Jn 14:28) Truly, truly I say to you, he who believes in Me

will do the works that I do also. And he will do greater works than these,

because I am going to My Father.

13 (Mt 7:7; Jn 13:31) I will do whatever you ask in My name, that the Father

may be glorified in the Son.

14 If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.



[1] Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.

[2] In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would

have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

[3] And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and

receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

[4] And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.

[5] Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how

can we know the way?

[6] Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man

cometh unto the Father, but by me.

[7] If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from

henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.

[8] Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us.

[9] Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet

hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the

Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?

[10] Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me?

the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father

that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.

[11] Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else

believe me for the very works' sake.

[12] Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works

that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do;

because I

go unto my Father.

[13] And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father

may be glorified in the Son.

[14] If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.



The Promise of the Spirit



15 (Eph 6:24) "If you love Me, keep My commandments.

16 (Jn 15:26; 14:26; 1Jn 2:1) I will pray the Father, and He will give you

another Counselor, that He may be with you forever:

17 (Jn 15:26; 16:13; 1Co 2:14) the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot

receive, for it does not see Him, neither does it know Him. But you know Him,

for He lives with you, and will be in you.

18 (Jn 14:3) I will not leave you fatherless. I will come to you.

19 (Jn 7:33; 16:16) Yet a little while and the world will see Me no more.

But you will see Me. Because I live, you will live also.

20 (Jn 10:38; 14:10) On that day you will know that I am in My Father,

and you are in Me, and I am in you.

21 (Jn 14:15; 16:27) He who has My commandments and keeps them is the one

who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father. And I will love

him and will reveal Myself to him."

22 (Lk 6:16; Ac 1:13) Then Judas (not Iscariot) said to Him, "Lord, how is it

that You will reveal Yourself to us, but not to the world?"

23 (Jn 14:15; 14:21) Jesus answered him, "If a man loves Me, he will keep

My word. My Father will love him, and We will come to him, and make Our home

with him.

24 (Jn 7:16; 14:10) He who does not love Me does not keep My words.

The word which you hear is not Mine, but the Father's who sent Me.

25 "I have spoken these things to you while I am still with you.

26 (Jn 15:26; 16:7) But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father

will send in My name, will teach you everything and remind you of all that

I told you.

27 (Jn 16:33; Php 4:7; Col 3:15) Peace I leave with you.

My peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you.

Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

28 (Jn 14:12; 14:18) "You have heard Me say to you, 'I am going away

and am returning to you.' If you loved Me, you would rejoice

because I said, 'I am going to the Father,' for My Father is greater than I.

29 (Jn 13:19) Now I have told you before it happens so that, when it happens,

you may believe.

30 (Jn 12:31; 2Co 4:4; Heb 4:15) After this I will not speak much with you,

for the ruler of this world is coming. He has no power over Me.

31 (Jn 10:18; 12:49) But I do as the Father has commanded Me

so that the world may know that I love the Father.

"Rise, let us go from here.



[15] If ye love me, keep my commandments.

[16] And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter,

that he may abide with you for ever;

[17] Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it

seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with

you, and shall be in you.

[18] I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.

[19] Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me:

because I live, ye shall live also.

[20] At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I

in you.

[21] He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth

me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him,

and will manifest myself to him.

[22] Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt

manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?

[23] Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my

words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our

abode with him.

[24] He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye

hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.

[25] These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you.

[26] But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send

in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your

remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

[27] Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world

giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be

afraid.

[28] Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you.

If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for

my Father is greater than I.

[29] And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come

to pass, ye might believe.

[30] Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world

cometh, and hath nothing in me.

[31] But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as the Father

gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go hence.



John 15:1-17



Jesus the True Vine

1 (Isa 5:1-7; 1Co 3:9) "I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser.

2 (Mt 3:10; 13:12) Every branch in Me that bears no fruit, He takes away.

And every branch that bears fruit, He prunes, that it may bear more fruit.

3 (Jn 13:10; 17:17) You are already clean through the word

which I have spoken to you.

4 (1Jn 2:6; Jn 6:56; Gal 2:20) Remain in Me, as I also remain in you.

As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it remains in the vine,

neither can you, unless you remain in Me.

5 (Php 4:13; Jn 15:16) "I am the vine, you are the branches. He who remains

in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit. For without Me you can do nothing.

6 (Mt 13:41; Jn 15:2) If a man does not remain in Me, he is thrown out

as a branch and withers. And they gather them and throw them into the fire,

and they are burned.

7 (Jn 14:13; 15:16) If you remain in Me, and My words remain in you,

you will ask whatever you desire, and it shall be done for you.

8 (Mt 5:16; Jn 8:31) My Father is glorified by this, that you bear much fruit;

so you will be My disciples.

9 (Jn 17:26) "As the Father loved Me, I also loved you. Remain in My love.

10 (Jn 14:15; 8:29; 17:4) If you keep My commandments, you will remain

in My love, even as I have kept My Father's commandments

and remain in His love.

11 (Jn 17:13; 16:24) I have spoken these things to you, that My joy

may remain in you, and that your joy may be full.

12 (Jn 13:34; 1Jn 3:23) This is My commandment: that you love one another,

as I have loved you.

13 (Jn 10:11; 10:15) Greater love has no man than this: that a man lay down

his life for his friends.

14 (Mt 12:50; Lk 12:4) You are My friends if you do whatever I command you.

15 (Jn 8:26; 15:20) I no longer call you servants, for a servant does

not know what his master does. But I have called you friends,

for everything that I have heard from My Father have I made known to you.

16 (Jn 13:18; 6:70You did not choose Me, but I chose you, and appointed you,

that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain,

that the Father may give you whatever you ask Him in My name.

17 (Jn 15:12) This I command you: that you love one another.



[1] I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.

[2] Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every

branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.

[3] Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.

[4] Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself,

except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.

[5] I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him,

the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.

[6] If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered;

and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.

[7] If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will,

and it shall be done unto you.

[8] Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be

my disciples.

[9] As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.

[10] If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have

kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.

[11] These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you,

and that your joy might be full.

[12] This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.

[13] Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for

his friends.

[14] Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.

[15] Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what

his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have

heard of my Father I have made known unto you.

[16] Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye

should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that

whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.

[17] These things I command you, that ye love one another.



2) Our Daily Bread for 5 November 2023 Titled



Welcomed Home by God



1 John 3:1-3



1 (Jn 1:12; 3:16) Consider how much love the Father has given to us,

that we should be called children of God. Therefore the world does not know

us, because it did not know Him.

2 (Ro 8:18; 8:29) Beloved, now are we children of God, and it has not yet been

revealed what we shall be. But we know that when He appears, we shall be

like Him, for we shall see Him as He is.

3 (2Co 7:1; 2Pe 3:14) Everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself,

just as He is pure.



[1] Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we

should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not,

because it knew him not.

[2] Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we

shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for

we shall see him as he is.

[3] And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he

is pure.



After Sherman Smith recruited Deland McCullough to play American football for

Miami University, he grew to love him and became the father Deland never had.

Deland had great admiration for Sherman and aimed to become the man he was.

Decades later, when Deland tracked down his birth mom, she shocked him with

the news, "Your father's name is Sherman Smith." Yes, that Sherman Smith.

Coach Smith was stunned to learn he had a son, and Deland was stunned

that his father figure was literally his father!



The next time they met, Sherman hugged Deland and said, "My son." Deland had

never heard that from a father. He knew Sherman "was saying it from a place

of 'I'm proud. This is my son,'" and he was overwhelmed.



We too should be overwhelmed by the perfect love of our heavenly Father. John

writes, "See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be

called children of God!" (1 John 3:1). We're as dumbfounded as Deland, who

didn't dare think someone like Sherman could be his dad. Is it really true?

John insists, yes, "that is what we are!" (v. 1).



If you believe in Jesus, His Father is also your dad. You may feel orphaned,

alone in the world. But the truth is, you have a Father-the only perfect One-

and He's proud to call you His child.



By: Mike Wittmer



Reflect & Pray



What does it mean to you that you've been chosen to be God's child?

Who can you show love to as a mentor?



Thank You, Father, for being my dad. Help me live as Your child.

Week 8 Guided by Grace Day 1 A circle of Light



John 8:12



12 (Jn 12:35; Job 33:28; Isa 49:6)Again, Jesus spoke to them, saying,

"I am the light of the world. Whoever follows Me

shall not walk in the darkness, but shall have the light of life."



12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world:

he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness,

but shall have the light of life.



When Judy Garland stepped onstage, she filled the spotlight. Nothing was

illuminated but her face, and as she sang, her listeners had a sense of being

transported beyond themselves into the meaning of her song. The focus of

reality, at that moment, was "Judy", and everything else faded into the dim

recesses of the shadowed room. The spotlight brought her into sharp focus

as the center of attention, and all around her was darkness.

When the scriptures speaks of Jesus as "the light," the image is not

of thousands of blazing bulbs lighting up a football field for a night game.

Rather, he is like a hand-help lamp that throws a circle of light in the

immediate vicinity. such a lamp lights the path that a traveler will walk,

but lights it only one step at a time.

Jesus is the center of that circle of light. As we follow him, we share the

light, but he is always at center. Jesus Christ is the focal point,

and everything else fades into dim gray by comparison.

If we are to keep our lives illuminated, to have his light falling upon the

road we walk, we must stay close to him. Jesus does not hand the lamp

to us and suggest that we go the way he wants; he , the Light, leads,

and if we want to stay in the light, we follow.



Application



a) Have I ever tried to go my own way, apart from the Light?

What was the result?



b) How can this verse help me remember the importance of staying close

to Jesus?



4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland



Deut 29:9



9 (Dt 4:6; Jos 1:7)Therefore, keep the words of this covenant

and do them, so that you may prosper in all you do.



9 Keep therefore the words of this covenant, and do them,

that ye may prosper in all that ye do.



5) From a Book called God's Promises for you:



When you are ill or injured



Psalm 103:1-5



1 Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless His holy name.

2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits,

3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) who forgives all your iniquities,

who heals all your diseases,

4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) who redeems your life from the pit,

who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies,

5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) who satisfies your mouth with good things,

so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.



1 Bless the LORD, O my soul: And all that is within me, bless his holy name.

2 Bless the LORD, O my soul, And forget not all his benefits:

3 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities;

Who healeth all thy diseases;

4 Who redeemeth thy life from destruction;

Who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;

5 Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things;

So that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.



Remember God's promises when You pray



The Lord's prayer



Matthew 6:9-13



9 "Therefore pray in this manner:

Our Father who is in heaven,

hallowed be Your name.

10 (Mt 3:2; 4:17) Your kingdom come;

Your will be done

on earth, as it is in heaven.

11 (Pr 30:8; Isa 33:16) Give us this day our daily bread.

12 (Ex 34:7; Ps 32:1) And forgive us our debts,

as we forgive our debtors.

13 (1Co 10:13; Jn 17:15) And lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from evil.

For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen."



9 After this manner therefore pray ye:

Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

11 Give us this day our daily bread.

12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil:

For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.



6) This come from Praying for Muslims in Canada 2015 (Is there a 2021 edition?)



Newfoundland & Labrador



Total population 527000

Muslim population (est.) 2065



As of Autumn 2014, St. John's does not have a local CNMM network. Pray with us

for God's people to come together in prayer

and cooperative efforts to reach Muslims with the Good News.



St. John's has one mosque and 2 more musallas , or prayer locations, which

may grow into mosques of their own. The mosque is called Masjid an Noor,

The Mosque of the Light, and mosque historical documents record a trip in 1986

to Saudi Arabia to raise funds for the land purchase and construction costs.

A small number of Muslim families had come prior to 1964, but moved on to

other places after a short time. After this date, a small community began

to remain and grow , reaching about 25 families in the 1980s. A number

of international students also join the community annually

ranging from 25 to 60.



In 2014 the mosque website reports the community is made up of some 200

families and many university students attending Memorial University. A

small number of native Newfoundlanders have also converted to the Islamic

faith, one saying of this religion in Newfoundland, "Islam is a growing face".

With the growth of the community, the current challenge is lack of space

in the mosque, which they are now looking at expanding.



Pray for



- The true Light of life, Jesus Christ, to be revealed to Muslims

in Newfoundland through the word, dreams, visions and answers to prayer.

- Christians to be as "wise as serpents and harmless as doves" regarding

Islam and reaching out in loving witness to Muslims in St. John's.

- for a dedicated, intentional witness to the growing number of Muslim

students on the university, college and trade school campuses.

30 days of prayer for the Muslim World 24 April to 23 May 2020



Under the Keep Praying page



When the new moon is sighted it marks the beginning of t he new Islamic month

and Eid al-Fitr, the "Festival of Breaking the Fast", will start! After 30 days

of fasting, the Eid celebration at the end of Ramadan is a joyful time that

usually lasts about 3 days. Muslims will buy new clothes, exchange gifts and,

of course, enjoy special foods. In Muslim-majority nations, the streets may be

decorated and festivals will be held.

For many Muslims, Eid-al-Fitr begins with communal prayers at daybreak and the

distribution of money (zakat) to the poor, which is one of the 5 pillars of

Islam.

You can greet Muslim friends during this time by saying "Eid Mubarak",

which means Blessed Eid!"

Ramadan is over for this year, but you can continue to pray for Muslims you

know, and Muslims around the world:

- Despite the unsettling developments in our world today that involve actions

in the name of Islam, there is at the same time a largely untold story about

unprecedented movement to Christ among Muslims. There have been more such

movements of thousands or more new disciples among Muslims in the last three

decades or so than in all the previous history of Christian Muslim

relationships! Pray for this momentum to continue.



Acts 2:12-17 : 17 12 They were all amazed and perplexed, saying to each other,

"What does this mean?"

13 (1Co 14:23) Others mocking said, "These men are full of new wine."



Peter's Speech at Pentecost



14 (Ac 1:26) But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice

and said to them, "Men of Judea and all you who dwell in Jerusalem,

let this be known to you, and listen to my words.

15 For these are not drunk, as you suppose,

since it is the third hour of the day.

16 But this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:

17 (Isa 44:3; Ac 10:45) 'In the last days it shall be,' says God,
