JIBC POINTING LIVES TO CHRIST

Genesis Lesson #15 -- "God Shut Him In"

Every young child who attended Sunday School has heard the account of Noah and the Ark. However, it is more than just the story of 8 people, a bunch of animals and a really big ship: It is about righteousness. Think about this: In all the world there were 8 people who God declared to be worthy of being saved from coming judgement. 8 out of the unnumbered masses of the day.
Pastor Dan also warned us of a coming judgement, only this time it will be by fire...and lots of it. Nothing will survive on Earth. Are you ready for this coming judgement?
Join us on our journey through Genesis 7 this morning.

Genesis Lesson #14 -- "By Faith...Noah"

Noah: The first person in Scripture to be called (by God) righteous. A solid testimony and fervent follower of God.  He was more than a boat builder, more than a husband and father, he was truly a hero of the faith.

Genesis Lesson #12 -- A Tale of Two Families

Join us as we look in to the effect that a Father has on a family. This is a case study of the contrast between a godly lineage and an ungodly lineage.
 
Todays passage is Genesis 4:17 ~ 5:2

A Reason for Everything

Brother Aaron explores the book of Romans as he unwraps the truth about why things happen the way they do. Everything happens for a reason and that reason is God's sovereignty.  

This Book

Brother Mike Kirk opens up the 119 Psalm for us this morning. Join us as we share the exploration and joy of seeing God's Words afresh. This Book will change you as you spend time in it: It is not a question of how much of this book you read, but rather how much of this book have you applied to your heart. 
 
 
 

The Bondservant

The life of a Bondservant has 3 distinct facets: A Purpose:serve the master. A Pattern: follow the Masters plan. A peace: The peace of God.
 
Starting in Eph. 2:1, Brother Paul leads us through these 3 short, but life challenging points.

"The Necessary Thing"

Today's text is Luke 10:38~42 and Brother Denny Allen brings us to the house of Martha and Mary (sisters of Lazarus). A golden opportunity to sit at the feet of the Creator and Sustainer of everything known and even unknow to us. However, Martha chooses to spend her time laboring on the details of the meal and care of her guests: Which is correct? Denny brings us some insights and thoughts on the issue.

Genesis Lesson #11 -- "A Tale of Two Brothers"

This message comes from Genesis 4:1-16
Pastor Dan in his continuation of his Genesis series talked about why God accepted Abel's sacrifice but did not approve of what Cain brought to Him as a sacrifice.    
 

Genesis Lesson #10 -- "The Curse and God's Grace (Part 2)

The curse continues through the ages, a judgement of man from God. Today Pastor Dan works through verses 14 through 24 of Genesis 3 and he clearly exposes the recipients of the curse.
3:14 Upon the serpent
3:15 The first promise of a Savior and the proclaimation of the serpents demise. 
3:16 The curse upon women declared and defined.
3:17 - 19 The curse upon man declared and defined.
3:21 The first death as a direct result of sin is recorded -- The horror that must have been for Adam and Eve.
3:22 - 24 The Garden is cleared and sealed, only to be reopened when God decides.
 
Other verse to consider during this message incclude (but are not limited to):
Isa. 65:17 ~ 25 The Glorious Cunsummation of History
Romans 8:18 ~ 22 "The Promise of Future Glory"

Genesis Lesson #9 -- "The Curse and God's Grace"

Genesis 3:7 ~ 24 is our target for today. Paradise is lost! Lost in a flash, a single act of disobedience and blame shifting destroys the perfect relationship between the Holy God and man.  Eve blames the serpent, Adam blames his wife and ultimately tries to hang the blame on God: However, God is not to be blamed for the fall of man.
Join us and find out how God intends to cure the sin problem.
