4 September 2022 - How To See Jesus Today - Pastor Joseph Prince Sermon Notes - New Creation Church Sermon NotesNew sermon notes: Pastor Joseph Prince taught us how to interpret the Scripture properly in light of Jesus’ finished work at the cross, as well as the primary way we get to see Jesus today! Praise and worship songs performed: (I missed the name of the first song) 1. I Was Made To Praise You - Chris Christensen 2. Pride Of A Father - Hillsong Music 3. I Stand In Worship - New Creation Worship 4. Only You - New Creation Worship Every soul is precious to Jesus. Matthew 15:21-28 - The woman came to Jesus pretending to be a Jew by saying the term “Son of David”, but Jesus did not want to bless her in her pretense. Even though she had no covenant with God, Jesus gave her a loophole by saying “It is not appropriate to take the children’s bread and throw it to the puppies (diminutive term).” “Children’s bread” is healing. Then the woman was honest and just called Jesus “Lord” and she received her daughter’s healing. Jesus only commended two people for their great faith, and both of them were Gentiles. One was this woman, and the other was a Roman centurion. They were not conscious of the Law (Ten Commandments), but they were only focused on Jesus. “Jesus went out from there and withdrew into the region of Tyre and Sidon. Behold, a Canaanite woman came out from those borders and cried, saying, “Have mercy on me, Lord, you son of David! My daughter is severely possessed by a demon!” But he answered her not a word. His disciples came and begged him, saying, “Send her away; for she cries after us.” But he answered, “I wasn’t sent to anyone but the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” But she came and worshiped him, saying, “Lord, help me.” But he answered, “It is not appropriate to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs.” But she said, “Yes, Lord, but even the dogs eat the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table.” Then Jesus answered her, “Woman, great is your faith! Be it done to you even as you desire.” And her daughter was healed from that hour.” (Matthew 15:21-28 WEBUS) Deuteronomy 8:7-9 - The underground water is a picture of the refreshment, revelations, and blessings that come from going through valley seasons of trial. Another way to see it is that they are the rich revelations received through deep study and meditation of God’s word. In the land of Canaan, Israel had to look up and depend on God. They had to wait for the rain from Him. God’s word comes in rich diversity of flavors. “For Yahweh your God brings you into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of springs, and underground water flowing into valleys and hills; a land of wheat, barley, vines, fig trees, and pomegranates; a land of olive trees and honey; a land in which you shall eat bread without scarcity, you shall not lack anything in it; a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills you may dig copper.” (Deuteronomy 8:7-9 WEBUS) Jeremiah 15:16 - God’s word is primarily for eating. When you feed on God’s word, it satisfies and nourishes you. The things of the word cannot satisfy your soul. You will still feel empty after pursuing them. The joy of the Lord that comes from God’s word is your strength. It gives you strength in body, soul, and spirit. “Your words were found, and I ate them. Your words were to me a joy and the rejoicing of my heart, for I am called by your name, Yahweh, God of Armies.” (Jeremiah 15:16 WEBUS) Every day people leak life naturally, but Jesus said we can life and have it more abundantly through Him.
