Eli’s vision is to bring this life-saving model across the world. In 2015, Beer expanded internationally with the establishment of branches in South America and other countries, including “United Rescue” in Jersey City, USA, where the response time was reduced to just two minutes and thirty-five seconds.

John: Jesus Has Overcome The World 24:00

for 10 dager siden24:00

24:00

Jesus, 1. The World, 0. It wasn't even close. Herod, Pilate, the devil, and all the Pharisees could not stop Christ's victory. They didn't even delay it. In John 16, Jesus said He had overcome the world - but what does that mean for you and I as believers? That will be the focus of today's study. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.…

John: The Myth Of Spiritual Neutrality 26:45

for 22 dager siden26:45

26:45

Some believe the world is a 'neutral' place. But they're wrong. The world is filled with light and shadow; good and evil, angels and demons. The world is not neutral. It is spiritually polarized. And that's just what Jesus told His disciples in John 15. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.…

John: What It Means To Abide In Christ 23:25

for 4 weeks siden23:25

23:25

Picture a branch. If that branch is on the ground, it's dead. A severed branch bears no fruit. However, if that same branch is connected to a tree or vine, it's alive. In John 15, Jesus says that the same is true of us. Specifically, He tells us to 'abide' in Him (as a branch on a vine). But what does the word 'abide' really mean? That will be the focus of today's study. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.…

John: The Indwelling Of The Holy Spirit 26:03

for 6 weeks siden26:03

26:03

Who is the Holy Spirit, and what does He do? In John 14, Jesus promised that the 'Holy Spirit' would appear after His departure. "I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever — the Spirit of truth." - John 14:16 Beyond this, Jesus said that the Spirit would be of great blessing to His disciples. So, what would that blessing be? That will be the focus of today's study in John 14. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.…

John: Let Not Your Heart Be Troubled 26:30

for 8 weeks siden26:30

26:30

Fear overwhelmed the disciples. Huddled in the Upper Room, Jesus had talked about His coming death, the presence of a betrayer, and of the dark days to follow. It was no wonder the men were shaken. But, sensing their anxiety, Jesus gathered them close, saying "let not your heart be troubled." Dark days would soon give way to hope and victory. If your heart is troubled today, then be encouraged by this study of John 14. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.…

John: Jesus Washes The Disciple's Feet 20:56

for 9 weeks siden20:56

20:56

Unthinkable. In John 13, the Creator washed the feet of people that He created. And moments later, one went out to betray Him. The Lord Supper was filled with shocking moments like these. We'll consider two of them in today's study of John 13:1-17. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.…

John: The Voice That Shook Heaven 29:01

for 10 weeks siden29:01

29:01

God's voice boomed from Heaven. Did the people listen and obey? No. They dismissed it as mere 'thunder.' Many say they're waiting for proof of God and His plan, asking for a clearer revelation from on high. Yet when He answers, guess what? They ignore Him. What about you? This will be the focus of today's study in John 12. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.…

John: The Arrival Of The Messiah 25:57

Jesus wept on Palm Sunday. While others shouted 'hosanna' and laid down palm branches, Jesus wept. But why? Because He knew something the others did not. In today's study, we'll consider what that was. Speaker: Rev. Dr. Toby Holt Text: John 12:12-19 See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.…

John: The Motives Of Mankind 25:13

for 13 weeks siden25:13

25:13

Motives matter. For example, some people pursued Christ with good, positive intentions. But others (like Judas Iscariot) had selfish or wicked motives. What are your own motives in coming to Christ? Is it for His glory and interests, or for yours? That will be the focus of today's study in John 12. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.…

John: Lazarus And The Timing Of God 27:44

for 14 weeks siden27:44

27:44

He let him die. That's what the people were thinking. Jesus heard that Lazarus was sick, and rather than go to him, He let him die. But that's not what happened, was it? Instead, Jesus allowed a difficult situation in order to bring about a miraculous outcome. We will consider that outcome in today's study of John 11. Questions That We'll Answer: A) Why did Jesus wait so long to go to Lazarus? B) Where is Jesus when His people need Him? C) How does God bring good out of evil? website: www.fpcgulfport.org/sermons See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.…

John: The Good Shepherd (And The Wolves) 29:50

for 16 weeks siden29:50

29:50

What makes a 'good' shepherd? He doesn't run when the wolves come. In John 10, Jesus faced all sorts of 'wolves.' From Pharisees, to Romans, to the Devil himself, Jesus was always in grave danger. But so were His sheep! And so, instead of running, Jesus faced the evils of this world on their behalf. Then, He drank down the cup of God's wrath on Calvary. Truly, there has never been a Shepherd like Jesus of Nazareth - the One who gave His life to save His flock. Questions That We'll Answer: A) What two jobs do shepherds have? B) Why did Jesus refer to 'sheep not of this fold?' C) What are the implications of being a 'sheep?' website: www.fpcgulfport.org/sermons See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.…

John: The Trap (A Story Of Sin And Stones) 26:02

for 18 weeks siden26:02

26:02

She was guilty. No doubt about it. As the woman stood before Jesus, no one defended her actions - not even her. She was guilty. So what would Jesus do? That's what they all wondered. The Pharisees had set this whole encounter up to trap Jesus. How would He deal with her sin and her guilt? Would He condemn her and risk the wrath of Rome? Would He free her and reject the law's demands? What would He do? They were not ready for His answer. Questions That We'll Answer: A) What is the 'divine dilemma?' B) What was the trap set in John 8? C) How can a holy God forgive sinners? website: www.fpcgulfport.org See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.…

John: The Hard Teachings Of Jesus 27:21

for 19 weeks siden27:21

27:21

Some things are hard to believe. Others are hard to accept. At the start of John 6, thousands pursued Jesus. By the end, few remained. What happened to the rest? The short answer: they heard Jesus talk, and they didn't like what He said. They could not accept His difficult teachings, and so they left. Questions That We'll Answer: A) What drew people to Jesus initially? B) What caused His disciples to remain? C) What does this say about us? website: www.fpcgulfport.org See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.…

30:27

It was late. The people were hungry. Thousands had followed Jesus out of desperation. They were sick, hurting, and now starving. And as Jesus looked out at the crowds, He had compassion. In today's study, we'll see how He responded. Questions That We'll Answer: A) Why did the people follow Jesus? B) Why didn't they bring food? C) What sign did Jesus perform, and why? website: www.fpcgulfport.org See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.…

"Do you want to be made well?" That was Christ's question of the sick man. It is also Christ's question of you. Do you want to be made well? And what do you want to be made well from? This will be the focus of today's sermon from John 5. Questions That We'll Answer: A) What was Christ's objective? B) Why did He enter the 'Sheep Gate?' C) Who did He seek out, and why?

John: The Woman At The Well 29:00

29:00

Surprising. Shocking. Scandalous. Jews and Samaritans were NOT supposed to interact. Their mutual hatred went back generations. And yet, here Jesus was, not only talking with this woman in John 4 - but asking her for water. What was this encounter all about? Questions That We'll Answer: A) What was the history of the Samaritans? Who were they? B) What had the woman done to be ostracized by her own people? C) What did Jesus tell the woman - and why was it so encouraging? Website: www.fpcgulfport.org See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.…

John: What It Means To Be Born Again 32:20

for 25 weeks siden32:20

32:20

To Nicodemus, it seemed like crazy talk. But to Jesus, this was serious business. If God's people are to be saved, we must first be 'born again.' So what does that term mean? And how does it happen? In today's study, we'll dive into the critical topic of regeneration. Questions That We'll Answer: A) Who was Nicodemus, and why did he go to Jesus? B) Why did Jesus say Nicodemus must be 'born again?' C) What are the implications for the rest of us? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.…

John: Water Into Wine (The Miracle At Cana) 24:30

for 27 weeks siden24:30

24:30

It wasn't just a miracle - it was a sign. In John 2, Jesus attended a wedding. And at this wedding He performed His first recorded miracle (turning water into wine). So, what was this miracle really about? As we'll see, it pointed forward to the cross - even if no one knew it at the time. Questions That We'll Answer: A) Why did Jesus tell Mary that His 'hour had not come?' B) In what way(s) did this miracle point forward to Calvary? C) How is John 2 a bookend with John 19?

John: A Voice In The Wilderness 26:47

for 28 weeks siden26:47

26:47

John the Baptist had one job. John came to prepare people to meet Jesus. Specifically, he would 'make straight the way of the Lord,' as the prophet Isaiah had foretold. But the people wouldn't listen. John would be a voice crying in the wilderness. He would be misunderstood, and eventually killed. And the same would happen to the Messiah. Questions That We'll Answer: A) Why was John 'baptizing' people? What kind of baptism was this? B) Why did John say 'behold the Lamb' when he saw Jesus approach? C) What's the difference between 'appeasement' and 'atonement?' Web: www.fpcgulfport.org See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.…

John: The Eyewitness To The Messiah 29:16

for 29 weeks siden29:16

29:16

Christianity: rooted in history, backed by eyewitnesses. In John 1, the author skips the greetings and goes straight to the heart of the matter: he and others saw, heard, and observed the Messiah. " The Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us ," he declared. In today's study, we'll consider the historical facts that support our faith. Questions That We'll Answer: A) Why did John refer to Jesus as 'the Word?' B) In what way is Jesus also 'the light' that came into the world? C) What are the implications of Christ's incarnation to you and I? website: www.fpcgulfport.org See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.…

Jericho's Fall: The Walls Came Tumbling Down 34:55

for 31 weeks siden34:55

34:55

Jericho had massive walls. It didn't matter. There are no walls that can deter God's Wrath. And there is no army that can stop those who serve Him. In Joshua 6, we will study both points in one of the most famous (and faith-building) passages in Scripture. Questions That We'll Answer: A) How big was Jericho's outer wall? Did it have an inner wall as well? B) What tool or weapon was used to bring the walls down? C) What can we learn from the battle at Jericho that applies to us? web: www.fpcgulfport.org/sermons See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.…

No. Other. Name. As he felt the Sanhedrin's angry gaze, Peter stood firm. There's no other name, there's no other door, there's no other way by which fallen sinners can be reconciled to God. Not two. Not ten. Just one, Peter declared. Jesus Christ is the singular means of salvation. Questions That We'll Answer: A) What are the implications of this statement to other religions? B) What were the implications to Peter's original audience? C) What sort of opposition does such an exclusive claim make? web: www.fpcgulfport.org See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.…

Transformation Or Conformation (Paul's Warning) 26:45

for 33 weeks siden26:45

26:45

The world is trying to remake you in its image. Will you let it? In Romans 12, the Apostle Paul reminds his readers that the world is intent on creating worldly people. That's what it does. It wants to conform you and I to its own priorities. However, Paul tells Christians that we are NOT to be conformed - instead, we are to be transformed through the 'renewing of our minds.' Questions That We'll Answer: A) Why is conformity bad (and dangerous)? B) How does transformation occur? C) What does it mean to 'renew' your mind in God's Word?

Genesis: The Final Words Of The First Book 25:21

for 35 weeks siden25:21

25:21

Genesis started in a GARDEN. It ended in a COFFIN. In Genesis 1, things were looking great. God had created the world, and said that all He had created was good. But soon, things got dark. Following mankind's first sin (in Genesis 3), a roller coaster of depravity followed. In Genesis 4, Cain killed his brother, and things didn't improve through the end of the book. In today's sermon, we will consider Genesis 50 (the final words of the last chapter). These words will set the stage for the rest of the Bible. Questions That We'll Answer: A) What does Genesis tell us about mankind? B) What does Genesis tell us about God? C) How does Genesis flow into Exodus and the rest of Scripture?

Genesis: God's Providence In Evil's Path 28:30

for 36 weeks siden28:30

28:30

They meant it for evil. But God used it for good. In Genesis 45, Joseph's brothers stood before him - brothers that had once sold him off to slave traders, and then told their father that he was dead. They had acted wickedly! And in a 'twist of fate,' their lives were now in his hands. But was it really a 'twist of fate?' Was their encounter just an amazing coincidence? That will be the focus of today's study. Questions That We'll Answer: A) What is 'providence,' and how does that word apply to Gen. 45? B) Why didn't Joseph exact revenge, when given the opportunity? C) What was God's purpose in the events of Joseph's life? Website: www.fpcgulfport.org/sermons See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.…

Genesis: Dreams In The Darkness 24:55

24:55

In Genesis 40, Joseph was in prison. Now, he did not deserve to be there. He'd done nothing wrong. And he must have wondered what part his shackles played in God's plans. Hadn't God given him a dream of a great and glorious future? Well, in today's text, two other men would have dreams - and their interpretation would play a huge role in Joseph's story. Questions That We'll Answer: A) What were the dreams of the Butler and Baker all about? B) Did these men deserve to be in jail? What had they done? C) What would the outcome of their dreams mean for them and Joseph? Web: www.fpcgulfport.org See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.…

Joseph's story started poorly. Within moments of being introduced in Scripture, Joseph was thrown into a pit by his brothers. And not long after, he found himself in prison. So, where was God when calamity struck? That will be the focus of today's study in Genesis 37. Questions That We'll Answer: A) Why did Joseph's brothers hate him so much? B) Why did God allow Joseph to face so many hardships? C) Where is God when our own circumstances grow dark? Web: www.fpcgulfport.org/sermons See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.…

In Genesis 32, Jacob was preparing for a fight. Jacob was no stranger to conflict, but this time was different. In Genesis 32, as darkness closed in, he prepared for a confrontation with his brother Esau. However, the figure who grabbed him that night was not who he expected. Questions That We'll Answer: A) Who was it that Jacob wrestled with in Genesis 32? B) What was the point of this wrestling match? C) How was Jacob changed forever as a result? web: www.fpcgulfport.org See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.…

Genesis: Jacob's Ladder - What Was It? 25:48

for 42 weeks siden25:48

25:48

In Genesis 28, Jacob dreamed of a ladder. The ladder reached all the way from Heaven to Earth. So, what was this dream all about? For centuries, no one knew. For centuries, it remained a mystery. But then, in the first chapter of John, the answer was finally provided. Join us as we consider 'Jacob's Ladder' in today's study of Genesis. Questions That We'll Answer: A) Why was Jacob all alone, using a rock for a pillow? B) What was the nature of his dream - and what exactly did he see? C) What was Jacob's response (after waking from this dream)? Website: www.fpcgulfport.org See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.…

Genesis: The Blessing And The Betrayal 28:21

28:21

Jacob must have been one rotten kid! In spite of God's clear direction, and although his other son was a numskull, Isaac did not want Jacob to receive his blessing. If it were up to Isaac, it would be Esau who would carry the family line forward. Jacob was not an option. However, God's decree would not be thwarted, would it? That will be the focus in today's study of Genesis 27. Questions That We'll Answer: A) Why did Isaac prefer Esau? What were his reasons? B) Was the 'ruse' of Jacob and his mother Rebecca actually a sin? C) What can we learn from the brokenness of this patriarchal family?

29:27

Meet Abraham. Isaac. Jacob. These men, hailed as the 'patriarchs' of the Old Testament, helped shape the entire narrative of our faith.They were also sinners. Big, big sinners. In today's sermon, we'll see that the patriarchs needed God's grace every bit as much as we do. And God gave it to them! His providential care is seen in every part of Genesis 25. Questions That We'll Answer: A) In what way are the patriarchs the 'Mt. Rushmore' of the OT? B) Why them? In other words, why did God choose these three men?

26:19

In Genesis 22, God told Abraham to sacrifice his son. Why? For many, this event is one of the most confusing in all of Scripture - why would God tell Abraham to sacrifice Isaac? What was His purpose? And then, why would He tell Abraham to stay his knife? In today's study, we will study this difficult and heartrending event. Questions That We'll Answer: 1) What was God's purpose here? Was He testing Abraham? 2) What did Abraham think would happen on Mt. Moriah? 3) How does this event foreshadow Christ's sacrifice on Calvary? website: www.fpcgulfport.org/sermons See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.…

Genesis: The Destruction Of Sodom And Gomorrah 28:54

for 47 weeks siden28:54

28:54

Sodom and Gomorrah are the poster children for God's wrath. In Genesis 19, we come across a cautionary tale to a world hellbent on offending a holy God. Specifically, Genesis 19 describes the destruction of these two cities. The destruction was horrific. It was severe. And yet, in Matthew 10, Jesus says that an even worse judgment will befall those places that reject the Gospel. Questions That We'll Answer: 1) What was the sin (or sins) of Sodom and Gomorrah? 2) Why was God willing to relent if 10 righteous people were found there? 3) What did Jesus mean in Matthew 10 (when He referred to Sodom)?

In Genesis 18 made a promise so outrageous that Sarah laughed. The promises that He has made you are even bigger. God has promised to save and sanctify you, to wipe away all your tears, and to dwell with you in Paradise for eternity. Now those are promises! But how can we be sure they apply to us (and that they will be fulfilled)? That will be the focus of today's sermon. Questions That We'll Answer: 1) Who were the three men that appeared to Abraham in the desert? 2) What promises did One of the men make to Abraham and Sarah? 3) Why did Sarah laugh, and what was God's reaction to that laughter?

God made Abraham mind-boggling promises. And Abraham believed Him. In Genesis 12, Abraham was introduced with little fanfare. He was a man from a pagan family and a pagan background. And yet, God was going to make this nobody a series of incredible promises - promises that Abraham believed in, and then acted accordingly. Questions That We'll Answer: A) What were these amazing promises? And how many were there? B) Who are the true children of Abraham? Are you one of his children?

Genesis: The Tower Of Babel 30:35

God told the people to go outward. Instead, they went upward. "Be fruitful, multiply, and fill the earth" God told the people. But they said no - in their minds, it was safer and smarter to stay in one place. And so, they built a formidable 'tower' in Genesis 11. In today's study we'll read about that tower (and God's response). Questions That We'll Answer: A) Why was God angered by the building of this tower? B) Why did God confuse the language of the builders? C) What relationship does Genesis 11 have with Acts 2 (Pentecost)? Speaker: Rev. Dr. Toby B.

Genesis: Noah And The Great Flood 31:45

31:45

The wrong question: how did all the animals fit in the ark? The most crucial question of Genesis 6 is NOT about the animals. Not at all. Rather, it is this: why was an ark needed in the first place? In other words, why was God willing to flood the entire globe, only six chapters after creating it? Seems drastic. So why did God do it, and what does it tell us about the future? Questions That We'll Answer: A) In what way did the flood typify the wrath of God being 'poured out?' B) In what way did the ark typify Jesus Christ? Is Jesus in this text? C) Why did Christ refer to future days as being 'like the days of Noah?' website: www.fpcgulfport.org See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.…

Surely he'd turn away from sin! However, before Genesis 4 was over, a blood soaked corpse proved otherwise. Questions That We'll Answer: A) Why did Cain kill his brother? And what was wrong with his sacrifice? B) Why did God warn Cain that 'sin lay at his door?' C) Is it possible that sin is at our door as well? What should we do?

Genesis: The Temptation And The Fall 32:48

for 1 year siden32:48

One sin. That's all it took. In our day, sin is treated casually - as a marketing device (think 'Sin City'), and rarely as a spiritual anchor. But one sin is all it took for man to be thrown out of the garden, and for chaos to sweep the created realm. This tells us two things: 1) sin must be really bad, and 2) God must be really holy. Questions That We'll Answer: A) What 'tool' did the serpent use to attack Eve in the garden? B) What is the purpose of the fiery sword at the garden's edge?

24:33

You won't find 'utopia' in a warzone. So many people misunderstand their reality. They think that this world is their home, irrespective of how little time they'll spend here. They think this world is great, irrespective of the landmines going off around them. Conversely, the Bible says that this world is filled with trials and hardships. And so, our hope is not found in this 'valley of death,' but in the Shepherd that leads us to someplace better. Questions That We'll Answer: A) What words of encouragement did Peter have to the suffering? B) Why does God allow His children to be tested and tried? C) How do we know that our story ends well? How can we be sure? Website: www.fpcgulfport.org See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.…

for 1 year siden28:10

Well, for starters, it is the only one of those three words that applies to God. God does not have 'faith.' God does not hope. But HE DOES LOVE - in fact, HE IS LOVE! Questions That We'll Consider: A) What sort of mess was Corinth in, that they needed a primer on love? B) How does love motivate us in ways that no other emotion can? C) What sets love apart (both now and in Heaven)? Web: www.fpcgulfport.org See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.…

The desert is home to some of the Bible's most fascinating stories. In Acts 8, there was a caravan traveling in the desert of Judea. At its head was a pagan eunuch - someone well outside of the covenant community, but not outside of God's plan of salvation. And in order to reach this man, God sent an evangelist into the wasteland. His name was Phillip, and this is his story. Questions That We'll Answer: A) Why does God care for rebels, pagans, and sinners? B) What book was the Ethiopian reading when Philip found him? C) What hope does Acts 8 give for the 'lost people' in our lives? Web: www.fpcgulfport.org See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.…
