MAROON BELL MOUNTAINS: JESUS CURSES A FIG TREE

Matthew 21

New International Version

(NIV)

Jesus Curses a Fig Tree

18 Early in the morning, as Jesus was on his way back to the city, he was hungry. 19 Seeing a fig tree by the road, he went up to it but found nothing on it except leaves. Then he said to it, “May you never bear fruit again!”Immediately the tree withered.

20 When the disciples saw this, they were amazed. “How did the fig tree wither so quickly?” they asked.

21 Jesus replied, “Truly I tell you, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only can you do what was done to the fig tree, but also you can say to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and it will be done. 22 If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.”

FIRST TO THE JEWS; THEN TO THE GENTILES

"Beth.

Are you aware, before there can be an Anti-Christ, there must first be a Christ?"

~(Simply Jim)~

"I don't understand."

~(Rev. Dr. Beth LaRocca-Pitts: Senior Pastor St. Mark UMC)~

"Our language, our words; how they build upon themselves.

In the old testaments,

we have our Christ; a hope, a dream, a desire.

Well,

Jesus was knowledgable of the old testament storys.

If he truly was not claiming to be God, this would actually make him our first Anti-Christ..?"

~(Simply Jim)~

"...silence..."

~(Rev. Dr. Beth LaRocca-Pitts: Senior Pastor St. Mark UMC)~

QUALITY OF A GOOD LEADER IS ONE ABLE DISAPPOINTING HIS OWN PEOPLE AT A RATE THEY CAN ABSORB.

Jesus at the Temple

12 Jesus entered the temple courts and drove out all who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves. 13 “It is written,” he said to them, “‘My house will be called a house of prayer,’ but you are making it ‘a den of robbers.’”

Dear Rev. Dr. Beth LaRocca-Pitts and Rev. Joshua Noblitt,

MAROON BELL MOUTAINS

WOMAN BLEEDING?

Matthew 16:13-20

King James Version

(KJV)

13 When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?

14 And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets.

15 He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?

16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.

17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.

18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

20 Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was Jesus the Christ.

Somethings wrong with this picture.

Very wrong.

Sincerely yours,

James E. Avery, DVM

John 5

King James Version

(KJV)

30 I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.

31 If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.

32 There is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true.

CRUCIFY HIM!
