    * You can get the sermon note sheet at: http://family-bible-church.org/2025Messages/25Jun29.pdf * Three weeks ago we turned to the final day of Jesus the Messiah's earthly life and ministry with the consideration of Judas' decision to betray Jesus. In the last two weeks we examined the Passover Seder that Jesus held with His disciples and Jesus’ example of having a Servant’s Heart (to lead by humbly serving). * Today, we look at Luke’s account of Jesus warning His disciples of trouble that is coming, with specific warning to Simon Peter, followed by Jesus praying in the Garden of Gethsemane on the Mount of Olives. This precedes what is coming next week: Judas’ betrayal of Jesus, Jesus’ arrest, and Peter’s three denials of Jesus. These events are connected; Jesus' warning and example show us that prayer is the key to avoiding temptation, to successfully handling a troublesome situation, and that without it we are likely to succumb to temptation – Judas fails by going through with the betrayal, Peter fails by denying Christ. * The Greek words peirazo (verb) and periasmos (noun) mean "to try, to test, to tempt . Whether it is a test or a temptation depends on the motivation of the one bringing the troublesome situation (e.g. God, Satan, a friend, an enemy) and by the response of the one entering the troublesome situation. James 1:13b-14 says "for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He Himself tempt anyone. But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed." * This message was presented by Bob Corbin on June 22, 2025 at Family Bible Church in Martinez, Georgia.

This was event which He declared for which He had passionately desired. * John begins his account of this event by stating, "Now before the Feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that His hour had come that He should depart from this world to the Father, having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the end." (John 13:1) * As we continue to consider this important event, we need to consider the "Mind of Christ" which Paul declares Jesus revealed through this moment, and His time on earth. That Jesus, being in the very nature (morphae) God emptied Himself and took on the nature of a servant in order to meet our need (Philippians 2:3-8). * Today, we are challenged to follow His example to have a Servant's Heart ... and to continually ask ourselves, "Who is Greater?" * This message was presented by Bob Corbin on June 22, 2025 at Family Bible Church in Martinez, Georgia.

Our observances of this Passover Seder meal that Christ partook with His disciples are commonly referred to as Communion, the Lord's Supper, or the Eucharist. * We are told, in the passage that we studying today, that Jesus was intensely desirous of having this meal with His disciples and leaving it as a portrait for us to remember the cost of the covenant which He was purchasing on our behalf. * This message was presented by Bob Corbin on June 15, 2025 at Family Bible Church in Martinez, Georgia.

    62 Luke 22:1-6 (The Betrayal)
    Jun 8 2025
    * You can get the sermon note sheet at: http://family-bible-church.org/2025Messages/25Jun08.pdf * Over the past several weeks we have been considering the examination of Jesus by the Scribes, Pharisees and Sadducees, who were looking for a way to accuse Him. As we began this consideration, we briefly examined the timing of the Passover tradition to see how Jesus' examination paralleled that of the choosing of the Passover Lamb. We mentioned at that time that we would look at the fulfillment of the feasts later. Today, we have that opportunity. * Today, we turn to the events of the final day prior to His crucifixion. Our text states that it was the time of the Feast of Unleavened Bread which was also referred to as Passover. It is important for us to understand the Old Testament timing and significance of this event. * For though the primary focus of this passage is upon Judas' betrayal of Jesus, there is baked within it the Jewish leaders' betrayal of YHWH at the time of a Feast which set to remind them of their redemption by YHWH. * This message was presented by Bob Corbin on June 8, 2025 at Family Bible Church in Martinez, Georgia.

    * You can get the sermon note sheet at: http://family-bible-church.org/2025Messages/25Jun01.pdf * Jesus has been fielding questions and "traps" from the Scribes, Pharisees and Sadducees, who were looking for a way to accuse Him. * He silenced them all by asking them how the Messiah could be son of David while still being David's Adonai (Lord). Jesus then taught His disciples regarding the trap of religious pretentiousness. * Today, we have a major change in topics as Jesus responds to the wonder and admiration of His disciples for the Temple. In our passage today, Jesus provides a Synopsis, Summary, and Surety regarding what would happen in the future ... from their perspective ... not necessarily ours! * This message was presented by Bob Corbin on June 1, 2025 at Family Bible Church in Martinez, Georgia.

    * You can get the sermon note sheet at: http://family-bible-church.org/2025Messages/25May25.pdf * Jesus has entered into Jerusalem and has been teaching the people in the Temple. We are in the midst of a four day period when the Passover Lamb would be finely examined to make sure that it was a worthy Sacrifice. The religious unknowingly are fulfilling this prophetic requirement of YHWH (cf. Exodus 12:2-7). * Two weeks ago, we considered the Chief Priests' and Scribes' attempted to find a blemish in Jesus by asking whether it was lawful for Jews to pay taxes to Caesar. * Last week, we saw the Sadducees seek to trap Him by asking him who wife would a woman be (in the resurrection) who had been married consecutively to seven brothers. Jesus responded to them by drawing attention to the fact that they truly did not believe the Scriptures that they supposedly held in high regard. * Jesus took the moment as an opportunity to teach - both the Scribes and His Disciples - with authority. The first being a call to expositing the Word of God faithfully and the second a call to beware of pretentiousness. * This message was presented by Bob Corbin on May 25, 2025 at Family Bible Church in Martinez, Georgia.

    * You can get the sermon note sheet at: http://family-bible-church.org/2025Messages/25May11.pdf * Jesus has entered into Jerusalem. He initially went into the Temple, cleared out the money-changers, and declared that the Temple was meant to be a house of prayer for all nations, but the religious establishment had made it into an emporium of thieves! * For the next four days, from His entrance into the city to His death on the cross, Jesus taught the people in the Temple. * Also on those the next four days, the religious leaders sought to trap Him and find public fault in Him or His teachings. This is important because as Psalm 118 declared, He would also be the Festal Sacrifice. * Jesus was the fulfillment of the Passover Lamb. In Exodus 12, YHWH gave specific instructions for processing of the Passover Lamb. It was supposed to be chosen on the 10th day of the month, examined for the next four days to assure that it was without blemish, and then slaughtered at twilight on the 14th day of the month. (Exodus 12:2-7) * Unknowingly, the religious leaders were certifying Jesus' fulfillment of this prophecy! * Through the rest of this chapter, we see several of these "tests" which the leaders brought to Jesus. * Each of the tests, leave of us with applications to our lives as well. * Today, we see YHWH's expectations for us in relationship to earthly authority and His heavenly authority! * This message was presented by Bob Corbin on May 11, 2025 at Family Bible Church in Martinez, Georgia.
