Jesus in Home Town

Today we are trying to find an answer to a simple but important question.

Do Jesus need our faith to work miracles in our life?

Let me repeat the question in a different word order.

Does Jesus work miracles based on the faith of the receiver?

Can human’s faith limit the ability of Christ to perform miracles?

For further discussion let us read two Bible verses about one and the same incident.

Mark 6:5,6

5    Now He could do no mighty work there, except that He laid His hands on a few sick people and healed them.

 6   And He marveled because of their unbelief. Then He went about the villages in a circuit, teaching.  (NKJV)

Matthew 13:58 Now He did not do many mighty works there because of their unbelief.  (NKJV)

Know Your Deliverance

In this message we intend to discuss briefly, what ‘satanic bondage’ is and how we can receive deliverance from it.

My name is Professor Jacob Abraham.

Let us start the discussion reading few words from our master as recorded in the Bible.

Luke 19:41 - 44

41   Now as He drew near, He saw the city and wept over it,

42   saying, "If you had known, even you, especially in this your day, the things that make for your peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes.

 43 "For days will come upon you when your enemies will build an embankment around you, surround you and close you in on every side,

 44 "and level you, and your children within you, to the ground; and they will not leave in you one stone upon another, because you did not know the time of your visitation."   (NKJV)

Help My Unbelief

I have selected an inspiring verse from the Bible for today’s discussion.

Mark 9:29 is the text for today.

But before we go to the core of the verse, let us try to understand the circumstance in which Jesus spoke the verse.

The event of Jesus’ transfiguration on a high mountain is recorded in Mark 9.

Theologians are not sure of the details or place of the mountain.

The incident happened six days after the conversation recorded in Mark 8.

The conversation in Mark 8 goes like this:

Kingdom Priority

The meaning and importance of prioritizing the Kingdom of God in our life is the subject of this message.

Today we live in a world that is obsessed with the myth of success.

Many motivational speakers and corporate trainers assure us that setting priorities in our life is a clever way for time management, task management and success.

To help us numerous business self-help books are available in book stores.

They offer a lot of help to manage your resources like health, wealth and time.

One of their common advice is to prioritize our interests and commitments.

By His Stripes ...

This is a short study in which I intend to discuss two verses from the Bible.
So let us begin by reading these verses from the Book of Isaiah. 

Isaiah 53: 4, 5
4   Surely He has borne our griefs And carried our sorrows; Yet we esteemed Him stricken, Smitten by God, and afflicted.
5   But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed.  (NKJV)
