JESUS AT A PUBLIC ACCUSATION
Jesus On Snapchat
Scott Young.com – Pastor of HOPE
1. What Jesus Did For The Woman
John 8:1 – “Jesus returned to the Mount of Olives, [2] but early the next morning He was back again at the Temple. A crowd soon gathered, and He sat down and taught them.
John 8:3 - As He was speaking, the teachers of religious law and Pharisees brought a woman they had caught in the act of adultery. They put her in front of the crowd.
John 8:4 - ‘Teacher,’ they said to Jesus, ‘this woman was caught in the very act of adultery.’ [5] The law of Moses says to stone her. What do You say?’ [6] They were trying to trap Him into saying something they could use against Him. But Jesus stooped down and wrote in the dust with His finger.
John 8:7 - They kept demanding an answer, so He stood up again and said, ‘All right, stone her. But let those who have never sinned throw the first stones!’
John 8:8 - Then He stooped down again and wrote in the dust.
John 8:9 - When the accusers heard this, they slipped away one by one, beginning with the oldest, until only Jesus was left in the middle of the crowd with the woman.
John 8:10 - Then Jesus stood up again and said to her, ‘Woman, where are your accusers? Didn't even one of them condemn you?’
John 8:11 - She answered, ‘No one, sir.’ Then Jesus said, ‘I also don’t judge you guilty. Go and sin no more.’”
2. What Jesus Would Do For Us
- Replace your GUILT with Grace (Daily)
Romans 6:14 - Sin is no longer your master, for you are no longer subject to the law, which enslaves you to sin. Instead, you are free by God's grace.
- Replace your SHAME with Salvation (Eternally)
Ephesians 1:5 - His unchanging plan has always been to adopt us into His own family by bringing us to Himself through Jesus Christ. And this gave Him great pleasure.
Romans 5:11 - So now we can rejoice in our wonderful new relationship with God because our Lord Jesus Christ has made us friends of God.
3. What We Could Do For Jesus
We Should All Pursue Jesus
Philippians 3:14 - I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
1 Corinthians 2:9 - No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love Him.
John 3:16 - For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life. [17] God did not send His Son into the world to condemn it, but to save it.
Romans 8:1 - So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus.

ANGER MISMANAGEMENT
A Fishy Tale About Faith
Scott Young.com – Pastor of HOPE
James 1:19 - My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, 20 because human anger does not produce therighteousness that God desires.
Ephesians 4:26 - “In your anger do not sin”: Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, 27 and do not give the devil a foothold.
WE MISMANAGE OUR ANGER WHEN …

Jonah 4:1 - This change of plans greatly upset Jonah, and he became very angry.
Jonah 3:10 - And when God saw that they had put a stop to their evil ways, he abandoned his plan to destroy them and didn’t carry it through.
Jonah 4:2 - He prayed to the Lord, “Come on, Lord! Wasn’t this precisely my point when I was back in my own land? This is why I fled to Tarshish earlier! I know that you are a merciful and compassionate God, very patient, full of faithful love, and willing not to destroy.
Jonah 4:3 - Therefore now, O Lord, please take my life from me, for it is better for me to die than to live!” 4 Then the Lord said, “Is it right for you to be angry?”
2. We Stay Angry With People God Has Forgiven
Jonah 4:5 - So Jonah went out of the city and sat on the east side of the city. There he made himself a shelter and sat under it in the shade, till he might see what would become of the city.
3. We Major On Minor Issues
Jonah 4:9 - Then God said to Jonah, “Is it right for you to be angry about the plant?” And he said, “It is right for me to be angry, even to death!”

GRACE
1. Clinging to Worthless Idols forfeits God’s Grace

2. The Essence of the Gospel is Grace
Col. 1:6 - In the same way, the gospel is bearing fruit and growing throughout the whole world—just as it has been doing among you since the day you heard it and truly understood God’s grace.

Remember what Paul said in Colossians 1:6 “On the day you understood grace”
Jonah 3:10 - When God saw what they did, how they turned from their evil way, God relented of the disaster that he had said he would do to them, and he did not do it.

A FISHY TALE ABOUT FAITH
Running from God – Jonah 1
Pastor Peter Young
Jonah 1:3 - But Jonah arose to flee to Tarshish from the presence of the Lord. He went down to Joppa, and found a ship going to Tarshish; so he paid the fare, and went down into it, to go with them to Tarshish from the presence of the Lord.
The Running Game …
1. Why do we run
Fear - I don’t have the goods
Anger - God can’t ask ME to do this
Resentment - THEY don’t deserve…
Jonah 1:2 - “Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry out against it; for their wickedness has come up before me.”
2. How do we run
Isolation: Withdraw – “hole up”
Debate: Confront and challenge/argue
Turn It Up: Drown out the call
Literally… Running away
Jonah 1:1-3 - Now the word of the Lord came to Jonah the son of Amittai, saying, “Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry out against it…” But Jonah arose to flee to Tarshish...
3. What happens when we run
Endanger:
Others
Ourselves
Jonah 1:4 - But the Lord sent out a great wind on the sea, and there was a mighty tempest on the sea, so that the ship was about to be broken up.
Delay:
God’s plans
Our success
Jeremiah 29:11 – “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
4. The answer to running
S.T.O.P.
S: STOP
T: THINK
O: OPEN YOUR HEART
P: PRAY
Psalm 139:7 (read through 12) Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your Presence?
Psalm 46:10 - Be still, and know that I am God.
