A+ TRUE ISRAEL

YOU MUST VISIT WEBSITE TO PLAY MESSAGES. In this series of messages, Pastor Jeromy Visser of CPM Ministries conducts a study in the gospel of John. This study deals with many of the basic basics of true Christianity such as just who and what is Jesus Christ, what is the true Christian’s relationship to the law of God? In this age of rampant apostasy, antichrists and false teachers everywhere, it is critical that everyone who would be a follower of Jesus Christ is grounded in these unalterable basics so that they are not blown about by every strange wind of doctrine that will inevitably blow their way in these final days.

This is presently an ongoing teaching series. The player below has been updated through parts 8 and 9 (place your cursor over the episode list on player to scroll through). To hear additional messages, visit the CPM website at the link above.

For your praise and worship opportunity, the player below will play the acapella arrangement of “Faithful Love”

Part 1 - begins our extensive examination into John’s gospel by explaining that Christ is the living Word who created all things. This introductory segment probes the testimony of John the Baptist and straightforwardly teaches that Jesus is Yahweh, the Lawgiver and Creator of the covenant. Listen to this sermon to discover who “God’s chosen people” are today!

Part 2 - explains the incarnation of the Word from the beginning which is “God manifest in the flesh.” We examine the ministry of John the Baptist to learn his teachings concerning Christ who alone is considered the source of all grace and truth. The Pharisees often “tested” John (as they did Jesus) so this segment explains how to identify or deal with the enemy.

Part 3 - continues the testimony of John the Baptist concerning the importance and necessity of Jesus’ immersion in the river Jordan. The act of baptism can effect our salvation thus false prophets teach against against modern believers doing likewise. Towards the conclusion we begin to study the disciples of Christ by examining the first two called by the Messiah.

Part 4 - describes why Simon was renamed Peter (or “the rock”) and how many of Jesus’ earliest disciples were chosen. For example, the Messiah considered Nathanael “an Israelite in whom is no guile” so this part examines the value of pedigree. We finally close the first chapter by looking at Christ’s first prophecy and miracle (turning water into quality wine).

Part 5 - looks at the reason Jesus turned 162 gallons of water into wine at the marriage of Cana. After this joyful event the Messiah goes directly into the main temple of Jerusalem to “purify” it by beating the moneychangers with a “scourge of small cords.” This segment begins to explain why Nicodemus the Pharisee comes to Christ under the cover of night.

Part 6 - explains the necessity of baptism or how one becomes “born again” because Christ rebukes Nicodemus for not understanding this new birth. This sermon also deals with the often misquoted verse John 3:16 proving this statement made by the apostle John (when taken in context) pertains only to racial Israelites not “any believer” as commonly taught.

Part 7 - clarifies the “conditions” of John 3:16 which are total obedience to the Word and recognition of Jesus as God. This part explains the final testimony of John the Baptist (concerning himself and the Messiah) and why he’s eventually beheaded by Herod. We also begin to examine several of Jesus’ dealings with the whorish “Samaritan woman” near Jacob’s well.

Part 8 - proves Jesus spent extra time dealing with the Samaritan woman in order to convert other Samaritans. Being “brutally honest” is usually the best approach! Furthermore, the Messiah teaches that genuine worship is not necessarily found in church buildings because valid Christians “worship in spirit and truth” meaning they observe and obey God’s Word.

Part 9 - finds Jesus welcomed in Galilee where He heals the dying son of a certain nobleman. Here, the Messiah also cleanses a man who suffered from “impotence” for over thirty-eight years resulting the the second attempt by the jews on His life for “working” on the Sabbath. Towards the conclusion we commence studying Jesus’ claims of equality with God.
