Jesus Continues The Old Testament Call To Call On God To Control Our Hearts (FTF-20)

Marcionism is a 2nd century heresy that says the God of the Old Testament was not the same God in the New Testament. The OT God is a lower god than the one in the NT. Many people today don’t know what Marcionism is but many people claim something of the same lines. Usually it’s in the form of the OT God is meaner than the NT God.
 
However, those people are ignorant of the further revelation of God the Father by His Son, Jesus Christ in the New Testament. Today, Pastor John Samuel Barnett shows that Jesus continues the lesson of self-sacrifice that is presented first in the Old Testament and presents it further in the New Testament. Only Jesus is Lord and we have no authority to edit God’s Word but must accept and believe the “whole counsel of God”. Let us hear Him speak to us through His Word today.

The Lord’s prayer is not a prayer just to help us in our physical needs. As Pastor John Samuel Barnett points out, prayer is also a cry for our spiritual and emotional needs. A cry to cleanse, protect, and empty us.

At that start of the new work week, what better way to keep our mind set on the things above with Pastor John Samuel Barnett‘s message on prayer as a request of God to control us. This control isn’t like being in the driver’s seat and every time the car needs a slight correction, God reaches over from the passenger seat and nudges it back over. No, this control puts God in the driver’s seat with his hands on the wheel the entire time.

Our Prayers Change When We Understand Who Our Father Is (FTF-17)

The famous apologist James White has a well known saying that “theology matters”. Christians today sometimes has a hard time with this. Some believe that there is a minimum number of facts you have to believe in to get your label of the saved. Some people believe that doctrine divides and that theology is only for theologians. Some believe that it’s not important, only that you believe sincerely.
 
Isn’t that like saying that what you learned in 3rd grade math is good enough? You learned your four parts of math, some people study different forms of math, some people study really high levels of math, and as long as it works for you there’s no need to go further.
 
Doesn’t our ability to understand the world, to use better operations of math, and our growth in higher forms of math get us into a better place where we can understand more and use it more and be more comfortable with it? Doesn’t that also apply with God?
 
The more we study the infinite God, the better our prayer life becomes. We learn about God’s lordship and we realize he’s not a genie in a bottle whose there to grant wishes. His sovereignty shows that we can pray for the really big and the really small stuff. His omnipresence shows us that we can pray anywhere and any time. And on and on.
 
Pastor John Samuel Barnett shows us the need to know God more so that our prayer life may flourish.
