Speaker: Pastor Jeff Olive
Seeing is believing?
Intelligent design leads to the theory of evolution?
Ignoring God’s word gives better understanding? (Luke 16:27-31)
Slow of heart
Preconceived notions (Isaiah 61:1-3 / Luke 4:17-21)
Preoccupied with self (II Timothy 3:1-4 / Romans 6:16)
Suffering must come first (I Peter 1:10-11)
Sin must be taken into account (I Peter 2:24)
Suffering is required for growth (Philippians 3:10-11)
SCRIPTURE was opened
Speaking of Jesus – all of Scripture (Psalm 22:1, 16-18, 31 / Isaiah 53:5-6, 10-11)
Spirit reveals – illuminates – His truth (I Corinthians 2:13-14)
Seeing truly for the first time
Recognizing Jesus for who He is (John 16:29-31)
Receiving His word in our hearts (Psalm 119:11)
