Right Start Radio With Pastor Jim Custer

Stephen Langton strikes again! Langton was the man who gave us our Chapter divisions in the Bible. And they're more helpful than not, more often than not. But sometimes, as in the break for John, chapter 10, they can disconnect material that should remain connected. Jim's message is called, A Sure Thing.

People want Jesus to feed them - until they find out what He's serving. Yesterday we read from John chapter 6, about the miracle of the Feeding of the Five-Thousand. We'll resume the discussion there today. But the crisis comes the next day, when the Lord tries to explain the difference between "the food that perishes," and "the food that endures to eternal life." To an audience that's waiting impatiently for more fish sandwiches, His message does not go down well. Here's Jim with a second slice of, Wonder Bread.

What's so miraculous about multiplication? Granted, it would be miracle if some of us could actually do multiplication - without a calculator, at least. But Jesus took some fish and made more fish, and took some bread and made more bread. It's not very flashy, is it? You had to be in just the right place to even be aware that it was happening. So why does the Feeding of the Five Thousand hold a special place in the minds of the Evangelists? Jim has some answers for us in his message, Wonder Bread.

When Jesus shows up, there's either revival or rebellion! In just a couple of stories, John the Apostle illustrates the different effects that the Lord has on people. When He speaks, some are ready to listen and obey; others start looking around for objects to throw at Him! Sometimes He induces both reactions, simultaneously. But the real Jesus confronts, as well as comforts. We're by the pool of Bethesda with the sick man in John 5.

A well, and a pool. Today our study of the Person of Jesus takes us to John 4 and the land of Samaria. There we'll find a famous well, and an infamous woman. Then we'll turn to chapter 5 to see a sick man lying by the pool of Bethesda in Jerusalem. These two were very different people with different needs - but both responded positively to Jesus. Others did not. Jim calls this message, Not in That Well, You Won't!

It was hard to hear the prophets over the escaping profits! Jesus came to the Temple in a particular manner that should have "rung a bell" or "struck a chord" in the minds of everyone there. "The Lord whom you seek shall suddenly come to His temple," Malachi had written. "He shall purify the sons of Levi." But while that prophecy was being fulfilled in real time, people were distracted. They saw the sign, but didn't see it. We're in the Gospel of John, Chapter 2 with Jim.

"What's Your sign?" The Jewish leaders asked Jesus the same question that we ask Him - and the whole world asks Him: "What sign do You show to us?" Or, more pointedly, "Do something that will prove that You're really the One sent from God!" Now, they often posed this challenge right after He had just performed a miracle - as in the story we'll read today from John, chapter 2. But His first sign was for a smaller audience. And it may be even more significant.

"In the beginning was the Word." John opens his Gospel by giving Jesus the profound title "the Logos," the Word - the sum of God's thoughts, expressed! But the apostle doesn't give us much time to muse on that - he has eleven more titles to give us, just in Chapter 1! This isn't the defective Christ of the cults - this is the Being beyond our comprehension. We'll hear from seven witnesses, including brothers Andrew and Simon.

Who is Jesus? In our day we could say that we have many Jesuses! There's a religious version and a permissive version; a humanist Jesus, an activist Jesus, and many more. And we would do well to ask: Are we worshiping, following, and preaching the Genuine Article? Who is Jesus? In this sermon we kick off a short series asking that question. We'll go to the disciple who arguably knew Him best, the Apostle John.

The three most frightening prophecies of the Bible. That sounds like "clickbait," doesn't it? The 3 most frightening prophecies of the Bible! Researchers couldn't believe what they found! But the Word of God does contain some very daunting predictions, as well as comforting ones. And we really will touch on a trio of the most troubling, today. That's where we've been headed in this sermon called, Final Questions and Answers, and Decision Time. We'll drop into Jim's message as he's reading from Revelation 14:6.

The Mark of the Beast, and the god of the Beast. All teachers love it when their students ask questions. It means they're engaged; they're trying to integrate new information into their existing views. It's good! And there are a lot of valid questions about End Times prophecy! We continue our Q&A session today with Last Days queries about Satan, his demonic followers, and one human devotee in particular: the Antichrist. We're in the book of Revelation with Jim.

"It is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sin." So why will animal sacrifices be made during the Millennium? When Jim invites the congregation to give him questions, they don't lob softballs his way! There are some brain teasers in the list we'll hear today. What about those Temple sacrifices? What if Jesus had been made king before He went to the Cross? And why doesn't the devil just quit? Here's Pastor Jim with, Final Q&As and Decision Time.

Do we have to roam, to visit Rome? "When in Rome, do as the Romans do." That sounds like sensible advice, no matter where you travel. But are we in Rome already? When the old empire is revived, as prophecy demands, will we find ourselves within its borders? Have we seen stirrings of that rebirth already? We'll talk about the nationality of the Antichrist and more, in Part 3 of, Future Promises - Questions and Answers.

Signs reassure us! When you're driving in an unfamiliar place - and I think this applies whether you're using the GPS or the "dead reckoning" method of navigation - there's a sigh of relief when you see the road sign you're looking for. "Ah, here's that highway. We're right where we should be." The Bible gives us signs for that same reason: to give us confidence that we're still on course. We'll find some of those landmarks today, with Jim. Here's Part 2 of, Future Promises - Questions and Answers.

When is a surprise not a surprise? It's almost impossible to throw some people a surprise party because they're just too observant! But the jolt of amazement we have in mind today isn't a pleasant one like that. It's the "Day of the Lord" - "sudden destruction" for those who aren't waiting for it. For others it will be rescue, and no surprise at all. Here's Jim to speak on Future Promises.

"Thy word is a lamp unto my feet...." The psalmist gave us a mental picture of a lamp. Kids, that's like a flashlight that ran on olive oil! In biblical times it was something everyone owned, understood, and used every evening. Did Jesus pick up that symbol of the lamp representing divine revelation when He gave us the Parable of the Ten Virgins? If so, that gives us a clue to interpreting the story. Here's Jim to conclude the sermon we started yesterday. It's called, Be Ready.

Have we been misreading one of the parables? Jesus' story about the Wise and Foolish Virgins - or the Ten Bridesmaids - may not be about what we think it's about. Yes, it's about being prepared, being ready. It's about a Bridegroom who arrives so much later than we expected, that everyone is caught napping. But who are these ten maidens? They can't be the Bride. And if the parable isn't aimed at the Bride - that is, the church - who is the target audience?

The view from the ark isn't pretty. In Noah's day people were getting engaged, taking on mortgages, making retirement plans - when God suddenly ended everything. And Jesus taught us to see the parallel between their day, and the day of His return. But what about after that day? The world didn't look so tempting to the passengers on that ship. If we see our dying world from inside the ark, our eyes will be opened to the darkness. Let's join Jim in the Gospel of Matthew.

"Here's what's going to happen, and here's what to do about it." You can't get more practical than that! When God gives us a prophecy, it's not for the purpose of adding to our list of Bible trivia questions. He wants us to prepare ourselves, and re-orient ourselves to future reality, today.

Can we over-emphasize prophecy? If you talk a lot about the "Rapture," and your Bible is most heavily worn at the books of Revelation, Daniel, maybe Ezekiel, you'll raise some eyebrows. Shouldn't we be giving more attention to "everyday" topics? On Friday we challenged the assumption that prophecy isn't practical. Now we'll hear how knowledge of the future can impact every second of our day, today. Here's Jim with Part 2 of his sermon, The Value of Prophecy.
