“A Matter of Life and
Death” (John 8:21–30)Pastor
Cameron/Eastside Baptist/Sunday AM/May 25, 201412 When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the
light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will
have the light of life.”
13 The Pharisees challenged him, “Here you are, appearing as
your own witness; your testimony is not valid.”
14 Jesus answered, “Even if I testify on my own behalf, my
testimony is valid, for I know where I came from and where I am going. But you
have no idea where I come from or where I am going. 15 You
judge by human standards; I pass judgment on no one. 16 But if
I do judge, my decisions are true, because I am not alone. I stand with the
Father, who sent me. 17 In your own Law it is written that the
testimony of two witnesses is true. 18 I am one who testifies
for myself; my other witness is the Father, who sent me.”
19 Then they asked him, “Where is your father?”
“You do not know me or my Father,”
Jesus replied. “If you knew me, you would know my Father also.” 20 He
spoke these words while teaching in the temple courts near the place where the
offerings were put. Yet no one seized him, because his hour had not yet come.
21 Once more Jesus said to them, “I am going away, and you will
look for me, and you will die in your sin. Where I go, you cannot come.”
22 This made the Jews ask, “Will he kill himself? Is that why
he says, ‘Where I go, you cannot come’?”
23 But he continued, “You are from below; I am from above. You
are of this world; I am not of this world. 24 I told you that
you would die in your sins; if you do not believe that I am he, you will indeed
die in your sins.”
25 “Who are you?” they asked.
“Just what I have been telling you from
the beginning,” Jesus replied. 26 “I have much to say in
judgment of you. But he who sent me is trustworthy, and what I have heard from
him I tell the world.”
27 They did not understand that he was telling them about his
Father. 28 So Jesus said, “When you have lifted up the Son of
Man, then you will know that I am he and that I do nothing on my own but speak
just what the Father has taught me. 29 The one who sent me is
with me; he has not left me alone, for I always do what pleases him.” 30 Even
as he spoke, many believed in him.(John 8:12–30, niv)
1.
If you do not believe
in Jesus, you cannot go to be with God (v. 21).
2.
If you do not believe
in Jesus, you will die unforgiven and be punished forever for your sins (vv.
23–24).
3.
If you do not believe
in Jesus, you are unaware of your blindness and oblivious to your own eternal
condemnation (vv. 22, 23, 25, 27).
4.
The crucifixion,
resurrection, and exaltation of Jesus will declare his true identity as the
Messiah and divine Son of God, confirming the condemnation of those who do not
believe him (vv. 28–29).
5.
If you believe in Jesus,
you accept the truth of his words and find life and true freedom (v. 30 [with
vv. 31–32]).
Main Idea: Recognizing the
true identity of Jesus of Nazareth is a matter of life and death. If you
believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God you find eternal life, but if
you reject him, you will receive eternal death.

“Hating Evil, Loving
Good”Pastor Cameron/Wed PM/May 21, 2014
9 Love
must be sincere. Hate what is evil;
cling to what is good. 10 Be devoted to one another in
love. Honor one another above yourselves. 11 Never be lacking
in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. 12 Be
joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. 13 Share
with the Lord’s people who are in need. Practice hospitality. (Romans 12:9–12, niv)
1.
God Calls Believers to Hate Evil.
a. Evil is defined by God, not us.
b. Hating evil is consistent with the
character of God; when we hate evil, we reflect God’s holy character.
c. A growing hatred of evil will
characterize a child of God, but we must strive toward it in the power of God’s
grace.
d. How do we hate what is evil?
2.
God Calls Believers to Love Good.
a. Good is defined by God, not us.
b. Hating evil is not enough; we are also
called to develop a positive affection for what is good.
c. God is the source of all good; Loving
God and loving good are in perfect harmony.
d. A growing love for good will
characterize a child of God, but by grace we must nurture it.
e. How do we love what is good?

“A Prayer for God’s
Glory” (Philippians 1:9–11)
3 I thank my God every time I remember you. 4 In
all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy 5 because
of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, 6 being
confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to
completion until the day of Christ Jesus.
7 It is right for me to feel this way about all of you, since
I have you in my heart and, whether I am in chains or defending and confirming
the gospel, all of you share in God’s grace with me. 8 God can
testify how I long for all of you with the affection of Christ Jesus.
9 And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and
more in knowledge and depth of insight, 10 so that you may be
able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless for the day of
Christ, 11 filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes
through Jesus Christ—to the glory and praise of God.[1]

“Faith
Saturated, Scripture Teaching Mothers” (2 Timothy 3:14–15)
Cameron Jungels/Eastside Baptist/Sunday AM/May 11,
2014
But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced
of, because you know those from whom you learned it, and how from infancy you
have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation
through faith in Christ Jesus. (2 Timothy 3:14–15, niv)
I am reminded of your sincere faith, which first lived in your grandmother
Lois and in your mother Eunice and, I am persuaded, now lives in you also. (2 Timothy 1:5, niv)
Main Idea: Every Christian mother ought to be a faith saturated, Scripture
teaching mother, so that the faith might be handed down to the next generation.
What does it mean to be a faith saturated, Scripture teaching mother?
A faith saturated, Scripture teaching mother
models her faith in front of her children.
Why
is modeling your faith in front of your children so important?
i.
Biblical truth is more effectively communicated by
a consistent, biblically guided life.
ii.
Faith cannot be passed on by heredity; therefore,
it must be modeled if the next generation is going to continue in the faith.
How
do you model your faith in front of your children?
i.
Show your children, by example, how important God
is in your life.
ii.
Show your children, by example, how important
God’s Word is in your life.
iii.
Show your children, by example, how important
Christ’s church is in your life.
iv.
Show your children, by example, how important your
marriage is.
A faith saturated, Scripture teaching mother
communicates biblical truth to her children.
In
order to communicate biblical truth, it must be known.
Communicating
biblical truth must be gospel-centered (v. 15).
Communicating
biblical truth must show how the Scriptures touch on and are essential
for every area of life (vv. 16–17).

“Humble Service in the
Body of Christ”
Pastor Cameron/Wed PM/May 7, 2014
3 For
by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more
highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in
accordance with the faith God has distributed to each of you. 4 For
just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all
have the same function, 5 so in Christ we, though many, form
one body, and each member belongs to all the others. 6 We have
different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is
prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your faith; 7 if
it is serving, then serve; if it is teaching, then teach; 8 if
it is to encourage, then give encouragement; if it is giving, then give
generously; if it is to lead, do it diligently; if it is to show mercy, do it
cheerfully. (Rom. 12:3–8, niv)
1.
God Made the Body: Service should be rooted in a humble
and sober estimation of oneself, remembering that all that we are is a gift of
God’s grace (v. 3).
2.
God Designed the Body to be
Inter-connected:
Service should be rendered in harmony with the whole body of Christ,
remembering that God graciously gives different gifts to each person in the
body in accordance with his will (vv. 4–5).
3.
God Put You in Your Place in the Body: Service should reflect the uniqueness
of our gifts for the overall health of the body, remembering that we depend on
God’s Spirit (vv. 6–8).
a. Prophesying in accordance with faith
bestowed (vv. 3, 6)
b. Serving (v. 7)
c. Teaching (v. 7)
d. Encouraging (v. 8)
e. Giving generously (v. 8)
f.
Leading
diligently (v. 8)
g. Showing mercy cheerfully (v. 8)

“Renewal of the Creation Mandate” (Genesis 9:1–7)
Cameron Jungels/Eastside Baptist/Sun PM/May 4,
2014) 9 Then
God blessed Noah and his sons, saying to them, “Be fruitful and increase in
number and fill the earth. 2 The fear and dread of you will
fall on all the beasts of the earth, and on all the birds in the sky, on every
creature that moves along the ground, and on all the fish in the sea; they are
given into your hands. 3 Everything that lives and moves about
will be food for you. Just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you
everything.
4 “But you must not eat meat that has its lifeblood still in
it. 5 And for your lifeblood I will surely demand an
accounting. I will demand an accounting from every
animal. And from each human being, too, I will demand an accounting for the
life of another human being.
6 “Whoever sheds human blood,
by humans shall
their blood be shed;
for in the image
of God
has God made
mankind.
7 As for you, be fruitful and increase in number; multiply on the
earth and increase upon it.”
(Genesis
9:1–7, niv)
1. God renews his blessings on the human race through Noah (v.
1).
2. God renews our responsibility to exercise dominion over the
other creatures of his world (v. 2).
3. God renews his provision of food for his people (with
modifications) (vv. 3-4).
4. God renews and strengthens his commitment to the value of
human life (vv. 5-6).
5. God renews our responsibilities as his image bearers to
populate and care for the earth (vv. 1, 7).
Main
Idea
Ø
Even though human beings are still sinful, we
continue to remain God’s image bearers who have been called to fill the earth,
provide for the protection of innocent life, and exercise dominion over the
creation for God.

“Transformed Thinking
in the Life of the Church” (Romans 12:3)Cameron
Jungels Eastside Baptist Wed PM, April 30, 2014
NIV Romans 12:3 For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do
not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself
with sober judgment, in accordance with the faith God has distributed to each
of you.
1.
Grace-driven Thinking
(“By the grace given me”)
2.
Humble Thinking (“Do
not think of yourself more highly than you ought”)
a. 42 Jesus called them together and said, "You know that
those who are regarded as rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their
high officials exercise authority over them.
43 Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great
among you must be your servant, 44
and whoever wants to be first must be slave of all. 45 For even the Son of Man did not
come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for
many." (Mk. 10:42-45, NIV)
3.
Reasonable Thinking
(“but rather think of yourself with sober judgment”)
a. Reasonable thinking
remembers who God is – Holy, righteous, just, good.
b. Reasonable thinking
remembers who we are – sinful, rebellious, depraved, in need of grace.
c. Reasonable thinking
remembers who others are - that we are no better than any other human being who
is sinful and stands in need of grace.
4.
Grateful Thinking
(“as God has distributed” and “by the grace given me”)
5.
Believing Thinking (“in
accordance with the faith God has distributed to each of you”)
a. 6 We have different gifts, according to the grace given to
each of us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in
accordance with your faith; (Romans 12:6, NIV)
b. But to each one of us grace has been
given as Christ apportioned it. (Eph. 4:7, NIV) 11 So Christ himself
gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and
teachers, 12 to equip his
people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up 13 until we all reach unity in the
faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to
the whole measure of the fullness of Christ. (Eph. 4:11-13, NIV)
