The Greatest Conspiracy of all Time - Matthew 1:18-25 - Pastor Ken Peters
Matthew 1:18-25; Isaiah 7:14; I. Jesus was a Biological Miracle II. The Holy Spirit is Effective III. Jesus Saves from Sin IV. God is with Us “I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him [that is, Christ]: ‘I’m ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don’t accept His claim to be God.’ That is the one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic–on a level with the man who says he is a poached egg–or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God: or else a madman or something worse…. You can shut Him up for a fool, you can spit at Him and kill Him as a demon; or you can fall at His feet and call Him Lord and God. But let us not come up with any patronising nonsense about His being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to.” –C.S. Lewis inMere Christianity John Wesley died with that upon his tongue, and let us live with it upon our hearts. – ‘The best of all is God with us.’” - Charles Spurgeon

And he had a wife from the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth.” Luke 1:5 ESV “And the angel answered her, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born will be called holy—the Son of God. And behold, your relative Elizabeth in her old age has also conceived a son, and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren.” Luke 1:35-36 ESV In the great awakening of 1860-61 in Great Britain, a high-ranking army officer described the conviction of sin in his Scottish town: “Those of you who are ease have little conception of how terrifying a sight it is when the Holy Spirit is pleased to open a man’s eyes to see the real state of heart. Men who were thought to be, and who thought themselves to be good, religious people… have been led to search into the foundation upon which they were resting, and have found all rotten, that they were self-satisfied, resting on their own goodness, and not upon Christ. Many turned from open sin to lives of holiness, some weeping for joy for sins forgiven.” (J. Edwin Orr, The Second Evangelical Awakening in Britain) “The world conquers me… 1. When it comes between me and God, 2. when it fills my desires, 3. when it absorbs my energies, 4. when it blinds my eyes to the things unseen and eternal.” (Maclaren)

A Mary Kind of Faith - Luke 1:5-38 - Pastor Ken Peters
Luke 1:5-38 KJV I. Different Title II. Different Place III. Different Faith IV. Different Praise “For He (Jesus) is believed to have been conceived on the 25th of March, upon which day He also suffered. So the womb of the virgin in which He was conceived, where no one of mortals was begotten, corresponds to the new grave in which He was buried, wherein was never a man laid, neither before Him or since” - St Augustine 417 AD (On the Trinity) “For the first advent of our Lord in the flesh, when He was born in Bethlehem, was December 25th, a Wednesday, while Augustus was in his 42nd year” - Hippolytus 204 AD (Commentary on Daniel)
The Prayer of Christ for Us - John 17 - Pastor Ken Peters
John 17:14-24 KJV I. Keep Them from the Evil One II. Sanctify Them Through Truth III. Make Us All One IV. Bring Them Home with Me There are some of you who do not feel sin to be an evil; and shall I tell you why? Did you ever try to pull a bucket up a well? You know that, when it is full of water, you can pull it easily so long as the bucket remains in the water; but when it gets above the water, you know how heavy it is. It is just so with you. While you are in sin, you do not feel it to be a burden, it does not seem to be evil; but if the Lord once draws you out of sin, you will find it to be an intolerable, a heinous evil. May the Lord, this night, wind some of you up! Though you are very deep down, may he draw you up out of sin, and give you acceptance in the Beloved!” - Spurgeon The word hagios (rendered ‘sanctify,’ ‘hallow,’ ‘consecrate’) means to set-apart-and-devote-to-God: whether it be things, or sacrificial animals, or men for His service.”

Romans 11:16-32 KJV; Psalm 22:1, 10-18 KJV; John 15:1-11 KJV; John 15:16-19 KJV I. We are Branches II. The Purpose of a Branch is Fruit III. God Repeatedly Prunes IV. Abiding in Christ is the Way V. Bearing Fruit = Joy From a vine we look for grapes, and from a Christian we look for a Christian temper, disposition, and life. We must honour God, and do good; this is bearing fruit. - Matthew Henry Purity and fruitfulness help each other. That it may bear more fruit - For this is one of the noblest rewards God can bestow on former acts of obedience, to make us yet more holy, and fit for farther and more eminent service. - John Wesley
