JIBC POINTING LIVES TO CHRIST

Seizing the Opportunity to Produce Thankfulness

It has been said that the Thankful Heart is the heart that has found its' worth in the person of God. Thankfulness puts our focus back on God and not on us.

Those Who Would Seize, Must Remember!

From Psalm 103

Seize the Opportunity! Part #1

From Matthew 25:14 ~ 30 Pastor Dan we hear admonition on the using our God given commodities to His glory!

Galatians Lesson #11 -- In Christ, Sons of God!

Pastor Dan reminds us that because of our faith in Christ the following things are certain: We no longer need a guardian (vs25), We are received as Sons (vs 26), We are heirs to the promise (vs29). To use an old phrase, "This is Good Stuff!"

Galatians Lesson #10 -- "Why The the Law?"

So the question of the day is "Why Then the Law?" Join Pastor Dan as he leads us through Galatians 3:15 ~ 22 as we endeavor to answer the question. 

"Jesus Annointed at Bethany"

Larry Ingalls from Cadence Ministry takes us back to one of the most heart wrenching scenes in all of the New Testament. The annointing of Jesus as He prepares to face the cross: The reaction of disciples, the depth of commitment and lesson for all of us. Mark 14:11 ~ 14 has it all.  (Editors Note: By the way, this passage ranks in my top ten of all time favorite -- how about you? Is it one of yours?)

Galatians Lesson #9 -- He Became My Curse

There is nothing that compares to what Jesus Christ did for us on the cross...NOTHING!
 
Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us--for it is written, "Cursed is everyone who is          hanged on a tree"--  Galatians 3:13 (ESV)

Galatians Lesson #8 -- Father Abraham

Galatians 3:6 ~ 9 Abraham is "The Father of our Faith!"

Galatians Lesson #7 -- Bewitched

"You foolish Galatians..." Paul pulls no punches when he addresses the issue of faith and works. Are you compleeted by works or by faith? Paul clears the air conscerning the issue.  Galatians 3:1 ~ 5
