Thankful For His Service | Isaiah 52:13 – 53:12 Exegetical Paper

April 18, 2019 @DannyScottonJr 0

This prophecy of Isaiah foretells of the forthcoming Servant of the LORD who is a kingly, even divine, Messiah. Though the nation of Israel was supposed to be to the collective Servant of the LORD through whom He would bring about justice and salvation to the nations, they rebelled and transgressed their covenant with YHWH. The unimpressive, unattractive, humble, despised, suffering Servant was to come and make a substitutionary, atoning self-sacrifice that would heal the relationship between the LORD and His covenant people, bringing שָׁלוֹם (shalom).

Fac✝s: Faith’s Firm Foundation | 1 Corinthians 15:1-8 Bible Study [Slideshow+]

To make his case for the Resurrection, Paul cites both his subjective, personal experience in addition to objective, historical evidence. We should do the same. For though people have their philosophical prejudices, given the historical facts that scholars of all stripes agree upon, the Resurrection is the best historical explanation.

Fac✝s: Faith’s Firm Foundation | 1 Corinthians 15:1-8 Sermon [Video, Text+]

April 2, 2019 @DannyScottonJr 0

People change. Societies change. Things change. But the facts of what Christ did for us do not change. Christ does not change. The widely-accepted historical facts are best explained by Christ’s Resurrection. This is the firm foundation of our faith. Because of God’s love and grace, we should respond with love and faithfulness.

Listen, Love: Deuteronomy 6:4-9 Bible Study [Slideshow+]

March 23, 2019 @DannyScottonJr 0

When Jesus is asked about the greatest commandment, He quotes the Shema (Dt. 6:4-9) — the most fundamental confession of the Old Testament, which devout Jews still recite daily. Let us love the One who gives us everything with everything He’s given us.

Don’t Judge! (Judgmentally, Hypocritically, Gullibly) | Mt 7:1-6 Bible Study [Slideshow+]

March 19, 2019 @DannyScottonJr 0

The First Commandment of Culture: “Thou shalt not judge.” Matthew 7:1-2 is probably one of the most misquoted passages in all of Scripture. In this cultural moment, in which moral relativists use this passage to silence Christians, it is important to understand what Jesus means…

Stay Woke: Be Ready and Steady! | 1 Thessalonians 5:1-11 Bible Study [Slideshow+]

March 11, 2019 @DannyScottonJr 0

If only thieves sent Save-the-Dates. If we knew exactly when someone was going to try to break in, wouldn’t we be ready for them? Macaulay Culkin in Home Alone was. Jesus says His Second Coming will come like a thief in the night. No one knows the day or the hour. (Mk 13:32; Mt 24:36; Ac 1:6-7). The church in Thessalonica, which had endured harsh persecution, asked Paul: when is Jesus coming back? What is going to happen to our brothers and sisters who have died/have been killed? Paul addresses their inquiry in this passage (1 Th 5:1-11).

Jesus: More Than Your Homeboy | Luke 4:22-30 Lesson [Slideshow+]

February 24, 2019 @DannyScottonJr 0

“A Prophet Is Not Without Honor Except In His Hometown.” Jesus makes this point at the beginning of His ministry. When the people in His hometown realized that He claimed to be much more than their homeboy, they rejected Him. Will we reject Him, too?

Rejoice: The Reign and the Wedding of the LORD Revelation 19:6 Scripture Meditation

Rejoice: The Reign and Wedding of the LORD | Revelation 19:6 Meditation

If we prepare so much for weddings in this age, how much more should we prepare for the Great Wedding Banquet of Christ and His Bride (the Church) after the LORD consummates His everlasting, end-time reign? Let us prepare ourselves as God prepares us for our Big Day.

The Shape of Love: The Cross | John 15:9-14 Lesson [Slideshow]

February 14, 2019 @DannyScottonJr 0

What is love? What does love look like? True, crucial love looks like the Cross (Latin: crux). It consists of a vertical component (obedience to God in Christ) as well as horizontal component (self-sacrificially striving for another’s ultimate good). We should love Jesus and love like Jesus because He first loved us…

Water Into Wine: A Taste of What’s To Come | Jn 2:1-11 Lesson [Slideshow]

February 14, 2019 @DannyScottonJr 0

Did Jesus just want to keep the (wedding) party going? More importantly, His first “sign” signifies how, in His ministry, the Old (water) will be fulfilled and replaced by the New (wine) as the Old Testament prophets predicted…
