Jesus the Teacher, Part Two – by Jake Graham
May 10, 2026
Sermon recap:
We need to read scripture in three ways – by considering the context (what is this, who wrote it, to whom, who does it apply to, and what does it mean for me?), culture, and Christ. For example, Jeremiah 29:11-12 is a well-known scripture written to the exiles in Babylon by Jeremiah. It was a promise to the Israelites, demonstrating God's faithfulness to his people. The goal of scripture is to lead us to Christ, to be more like him, in love, obedience, and loving others.

Jesus built his life on Scripture through prayer, learning and obedience, showing us how to know God deeply and walk daily in his purpose by staying rooted daily.
Saying “no” to sin is saying “yes” to freedom. Through grace, discipline, and daily surrender, we follow Jesus—not perfectly, but faithfully.
Follow Jesus by growing in Him and guiding others. Be humble, open, and willing to learn. Discipleship means obeying Christ and helping others do the same.
