Disciples 3 Resurrection Crack Download

Each year, the most popular meme that I share on social media is a picture of Chuck Colson with a quote where he describes how his experience in the Watergate scandal during the Nixon administration helped him believe in the resurrection. Years ago, he shared on video how watching the lies of a group of powerful men fall apart made him realize the disciples were, indeed, telling the truth.

Well, before we get to our study this morning, we'd like to begin with a few songs of praise, so I'd like to invite the choristers to come and join me here on stage and they will lead us in a few hymns.(Soft piano music) thank you, Pastor Ross. As we always do, we start out our studying with some singing, which we love to do together so I invite you, those that are at home, pull out your hymnals and sing along with us. Hymn #253 - there is no other name like Jesus - and that is true. In this world that we are living in, there truly is no other name and I am so glad every day that I can count on him and call upon his name for help. We will sing the first, the third, and the last verses.Hymn #253 - there's no other name like Jesus. There's no other name like Jesus, 'tis the dearest name we know, 'tis the angel's joy in heaven, 'tis the Christian's joy below, sweet name, dear name, there's no other name like Jesus; sweet name, dear name, there's no other name like Jesus. 'Tis the hope that I shall see him when in glory he appears, 'tis the hope to bear his welcome that my fainting spirit cheers. Sweet name, dear name, there's no other name like Jesus; sweet name, dear name, there's no other name like Jesus. If he wills that death's cold finger touch my feeble, mortal clay, then 'tis well if only Jesus is my dying trust and stay.Sweet name, dear name, there's no other name like Jesus; sweet name, dear name, there's no other name like Jesus. You know, as we were singing that I was thinking, what a sweet thing it is going to be when we get to heaven and we hear Jesus say our names and he greets us, yay I cannot wait for that day. And, until then, we will keep fighting and keep Marching through. Hymn # 647 - mine eyes have seen the glory - of the coming of the Lord. And whether you're here in our audience singing with us, or you're at home, let's just sing this one like we really mean it - mine eyes have seen the glory - we'll sing all three verses.Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord; he is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored; he has loosed the fateful lightning of his terrible swift sword; his truth is Marching on. Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! His truth is Marching on. He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat; he is sifting out the hearts of men before his judgment seat; o be swift, my soul, to answer him; be jubilant my feet! Our God is Marching on. Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! His truth is Marching on. In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea, with a glory in his bosom that transfigures you and me; as he died to make men holy, let us live to make men free! While God is Marching on.Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! His truth is Marching on. Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! His truth is Marching on. Amen. At this time Pastor Ross will lead us in prayer. I'd like to invite you to bow your heads as we begin with a word of prayer.Dear Father, once again we are grateful that we're able to open up the Bible and study this very important subject, the story of Jesus. And, in particular, we're looking at those final moments of Christ's earthly life, so we ask for the Holy Spirit to come and guide our minds and our hearts, for we ask this in Jesus' Name, amen. We're going to be doing something just a little different this morning. I'd like to invite Pastor Doug to come join me, but we did get some questions that came in from our extended Sabbath school class and we're going to try and address two of the questions that came in, Pastor Doug, right here at the beginning of our lesson this morning. Alright.Alright, well, if you're ready, our first question that's come in from steven from Colorado - his question is: \"the lesson author says that Jesus had free will. Does this mean that he could have sinned or, possibly more importantly, could he have returned to The Father and avoided the cross How would either of these choices have affected us That's a big question. There's a few hypotheticals in there. One, did Jesus have a free will Of course. First of all, he's our creator.He chose to create us, so Jesus has a free will. I think they're asking, when he was on earth did he have any choice to say, 'oh, forget about these humans. They just don't appreciate what I'm doing.' And throw his hands in the air and walk back to heaven - or fly back to heaven - and what would have happened to us Well, with the hypothetical questions it's sometimes hard to answer, but we would certainly be doomed if it wasn't for the sacrifice of Jesus. Could he have failed Did he have a free will that way Yes and no. The prophecy could not fail.His Word will never return void. The Word of God said that Jesus' sacrifice would be successful. Jesus said, 'after three days I will rise.' So he made a prediction that he would do it. His Word would come true. But when he was in the garden of Gethsemane, and we're going to talk about that this morning, he couldn't see beyond the portals of the tomb.He - he saw separation as - of The Father and carrying the weight of the world, all the sins as just so bleak that it looked hopeless - it felt hopeless to him. And there was - that was the biggest agony - and he was being tempted to believe that this is going to cause eternal separation so he felt what the lost feel and what they struggle against, but the prophecy wasn't going to fail. Everything in the Word of God said that his mission would be successful. Amen. Alright, well, we do have another question that's come from Daniel from ArKansas and the question is: 'the cup that Jesus asked to be passed from him, in Matthew chapter 26, verse 39, what was in the cup Now it's when he was in the garden he said, 'father, if there's any way, let this cup pass from me.' You know, it's interesting that just a little while earlier, they had the cup of the new covenant and, by taking that cup, the disciples said, 'we are receiving the Gospel.' Now, Jesus was about to take a cup of suffering. James and John came at the encouragement of their mother, at least they brought their mother along, and she appealed and said, 'when you enter into your kingdom, let these two sons of mine sit on the right and the left.' And Jesus said, 'you don't know what you're asking. Are they to be baptized with my baptism and drink from my cup' And they said, 'oh, yes we are.' And he said, 'well, you will indeed drink from my cup.' And so there - this was a cup of suffering that Christ wanted to be taken away and it included just the physical pain that he was going to bear, separation from The Father, just the whole agony he had come into the world to drink this cup. Now, back in Bible times, they - doctors didn't dispense pills that were concentrated like they do now. Often they'd give you these concoctions and herbs and things - usually bitter - and they'd say, this is going to make you feel better but you've got to drink this cup.And so, those bitter cups were a symbol of what he needed to go through in order to heal and to save us. Alright, well Pastor Doug, I think that question is a good segue into our study for today, talking about Jesus' last moments here on the earth before his sacrifice. Alright, thank you very much, Pastor Ross. I want to welcome those who are part of our extended Granite Bay church family.

Our lesson today - we're continuing in our study on Matthew and it's Matthew chapter 12 - I'm sorry, lesson #12. The chapter we're really covering today is chapter 26. Most of our study today is in that one chapter.Now, you might be asking, 'Pastor Doug, last week we studied chapter 24 and now we're talking about chapter 26. Did we miss something' Well, yes we did. The lesson is really going through the life of Jesus and it's left out the chapter 25 - chapter 25, let me summarize for you very quickly, is the parables or the teachings of Jesus, almost all of them related to the second coming. Chapter 24 - if you've got a red-letter edition Bible, you'll notice that chapter 24, there's this who
