“Do no harm. Do good. Stay in love with God.” J. Wesley
The demoniac in the Gospel of Mark 5:1-20 was the least likely person to bring a message of love and salvation to the people of his region. But an encounter with Jesus freed him of the darkness that developed him and set him free to spread the Gospel.
This week, we will take a deep dive into the woman at the well in the Gospel of John chapter 4. This woman was scorned by society and tainted by her past. However, Jesus saw her as someone worthy of love and mission.
On Earth As It Is In Heaven by C. Peter Wagner is a book I have wanted to read for some time. Wagner’s work has been maligned as well as triumphed by many. The term “New Apostolic Reformation” (NAR) has been used chiefly by reformed cessationists as a pejorative against all charismatics (yeah, I’m looking at you, MacArthur), and Wagner seems to be the only one who has used it. The book has been highly influential in Charismatic circles, especially among the leadership of Bethel Church in Redding, California. So, I thought it would be good to familiarize myself with this work. With all respect to my charismatic brethren, this book is a mess of theological hot garbage. I will point out two theological problems with the book from an eschatological and ecclesiastical point of view and two heretical points, one implied and one expressly called out.
We finish our Walking in the Word series by looking at John's Gospel. Through the seven signs and the seven "I AM" statements, John is making a definitive case for the deity of Jesus. Finishing the video, we will take a verse-by-verse exegesis of John 1:1-18.
Here is a sermon I gave on the Seals, Bowls, and Trumpets in Revelation. I have several charts in the sermon, so if you would like a copy of those charts, send me an email at: wanderingwesleyan@hotmail.com
The Apostle John has a unique and intimate perspective on Jesus and the Christian faith. He was a friend of Jesus but also had much to say to the churches in Ephesus and Galatia (the seven churches in Revelation).
