Amen. 26 For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature.  27 Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due. 28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting;  29 being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; ... 01:07:00Fresh Encounter MinistriesnoJesus Christ,Jesus,Christ,Faith,SalvationWHEN A PEOPLE REJECT THE KNOWLEDGE OF GODhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/lincolnavenuechristianchurch/2016/07/17/the-god-who-raises-the-deadChristianityhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/lincolnavenuechristianchurch/2016/07/17/the-god-who-raises-the-dead/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/lincolnavenuechristianchurch/2016/07/17/the-god-who-raises-the-deadSun, 17 Jul 2016 17:00:00 GMTTHE GOD WHO RAISES THE DEADVideo Podcast also avialable at  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCC89oFiZ-RvrTH9z7qmhF0w John 11:1-54 New King James Version (NKJV) The Death of Lazarus 1 Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha.  2 It was that Mary who anointed the Lord with fragrant oil and wiped His feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.  3 Therefore the sisters sent to Him, saying, “Lord, behold, he whom You love is sick.” 4 When Jesus heard that, He said, “This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified through it.” 5 Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.  6 So, when He heard that he was sick, He stayed two more days in the place where He was.  7 Then after this He said to the disciples, “Let us go to Judea again.” 8 The disciples said to Him, “Rabbi, lately the Jews sought to stone You, and are You going there again?” 9 Jesus answered, “Are there not twelve hours in the day? If anyone walks in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world.  10 But if one walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him.”  11 These things He said, and after that He said to them, “Our friend Lazarus sleeps, but I go that I may wake him up.” 12 Then His disciples said, “Lord, if he sleeps he will get well.”  13 However, Jesus spoke of his death, but they thought that He was speaking about taking rest in sleep. 14 Then Jesus said to them plainly, “Lazarus is dead.  15 And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, that you may believe.

So he went and washed, and came back seeing. 8 Therefore the neighbors and those who previously had seen that he was blind said, “Is not this he who sat and begged?” 9 Some said, “This is he.” Others said, “He is like him.” He said, “I am he.” 10 Therefore they said to him, “How were your eyes opened?” 11 He answered and said, “A Man called Jesus made clay and anointed my eyes and said to me, ‘Go to the pool of[d] Siloam and wash.’ So I went and washed, and I received sight.” 12 Then they said to him, “Where is He?” He said, “I do not know.” The Pharisees Excommunicate the Healed Man 13 They brought him who formerly was blind to the Pharisees.  00:50:00Fresh Encounter MinistriesnoJesus Christ,Jesus,Christ,Faith,SalvationTHE GOD WHO OPENS BLIND EYEShttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/lincolnavenuechristianchurch/2016/07/03/the-god-of-the-impossibleChristianityhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/lincolnavenuechristianchurch/2016/07/03/the-god-of-the-impossible/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/lincolnavenuechristianchurch/2016/07/03/the-god-of-the-impossibleSun, 03 Jul 2016 17:00:00 GMTTHE GOD OF THE IMPOSSIBLEVideo Podcast also avialable at  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCC89oFiZ-RvrTH9z7qmhF0w John 6:1-15 New King James Version (NKJV) Feeding the Five Thousand 6 After these things Jesus went over the Sea of Galilee, which is the Sea of Tiberias.  2 Then a great multitude followed Him, because they saw His signs which He performed on those who were diseased.  3 And Jesus went up on the mountain, and there He sat with His disciples. 4 Now the Passover, a feast of the Jews, was near.  5 Then Jesus lifted up His eyes, and seeing a great multitude coming toward Him, He said to Philip, “Where shall we buy bread, that these may eat?”  6 But this He said to test him, for He Himself knew what He would do. 7 Philip answered Him, “Two hundred denarii worth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may have a little.” 8 One of His disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, said to Him,  9 “There is a lad here who has five barley loaves and two small fish, but what are they among so many?” 10 Then Jesus said, “Make the people sit down.” Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand.  11 And Jesus took the loaves, and when He had given thanks He distributed them to the disciples, and the disciples[a] to those sitting down; and likewise of the fish, as much as they wanted.  12 So when they were filled, He said to His disciples, “Gather up the fragments that remain, so that nothing is lost.”  13 Therefore they gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves which were left over by those who had eaten.  14 Then those men, when they had seen the sign that Jesus did, said, “This is truly the Prophet who is to come into the world.” 00:45:00Fresh Encounter MinistriesnoJesus Christ,Jesus,Christ,Faith,SalvationTHE GOD OF THE IMPOSSIBLEhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/lincolnavenuechristianchurch/2016/06/26/do-you-want-to-get-wellChristianityhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/lincolnavenuechristianchurch/2016/06/26/do-you-want-to-get-well/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/lincolnavenuechristianchurch/2016/06/26/do-you-want-to-get-wellSun, 26 Jun 2016 17:00:00 GMTDO YOU WANT TO GET WELL?Video Podcast also avialable at  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCC89oFiZ-RvrTH9z7qmhF0w  John 5:1-9 New King James Version (NKJV) A Man Healed at the Pool of Bethesda 5 After this there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.  2 Now there is in Jerusalem by the Sheep Gate a pool, which is called in Hebrew, Bethesda, having five porches.  3 In these lay a great multitude of sick people, blind, lame, paralyzed, waiting for the moving of the water.  4 For an angel went down at a certain time into the pool and stirred up the water; then whoever stepped in first, after the stirring of the water, was made well of whatever disease he had.  5 Now a certain man was there who had an infirmity thirty-eight years.  6 When Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that he already had been in that condition a long time, He said to him, “Do you want to be made well?” 7 The sick man answered Him, “Sir, I have no man to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up; but while I am coming, another steps down before me.” 8 Jesus said to him, “Rise, take up your bed and walk.”  9 And immediately the man was made well, took up his bed, and walked.
