    * You can get the sermon note sheet at: https://family-bible-church.org/2025Messages/25Aug17.pdf * Your "testimony" is a declaration of your experience. This testimony can include what you experience in the physical, emotional, and spiritual realms. It is not only what you experienced physically through your sense - sight, sound, smell, taste and touch - but, also what you felt internally, what you thought, and what things you believe were being brought to you from an external source. This is your testimony. People may question it, deny it, ridicule it, ... or believe it. But regardless, it is what YOU experienced. * Today, we are going to talk about the testimonies - the experiences - of two separate groups of people: the women at the tomb and the disciples on the road to Emmaus. Both groups experienced the results of Christ being risen from the dead. Both groups had different experiences which corroborated each others testimony. * Jesus, who had been crucified three days prior - was Risen! * This message was presented by Bob Corbin on August 17, 2025 at Family Bible Church in Martinez, Georgia.

    70 Luke 23:44-56 (The Death and Burial of Christ)
    Aug 3 2025
    * You can get the sermon note sheet at: https://family-bible-church.org/2025Messages/25Aug03.pdf * Over the past three weeks, we have seen Jesus openly declare to the Sanhedrin (the council) that He was YHWH and their instantaneous reaction. The Jewish leaders condemned Jesus as being blasphemous and handed Him over to the Roman authorities in order to be crucified. * In the midst of this treachery and betrayal, we have seen the love and grace of God shine brightly ... culminating in Jesus' request for the Father to forgive those who were perpetuating this act against Him, because they did not know what they were doing. * Today, we come to the place where Jesus breathes His last on the cross and is buried in a nearby tomb. As Jesus breathes this final breath, the payment for our sins was made and the veil of the Temple was torn in two (from top to bottom - Mark 15:38)! * God gives us details in His Word in order for us to confirm the historicity of this account. How exciting it is to KNOW the validity of Christ's death, burial and resurrection! * This message was presented by Bob Corbin on August 3, 2025 at Family Bible Church in Martinez, Georgia.

    69 Luke 23:32-43 (Today!)
    Jul 27 2025
    * You can get the sermon note sheet at: http://family-bible-church.org/2025Messages/25Jul27.pdf * Last week we considered five different Portraits of Grace as Jesus was being handed over by the authorities to be crucified. * Today, we see the grace of God and love of Christ glowing brilliantly as He is hanging on the cross in the midst of a spiritual storm of disdain and hatred. Truly, the darker the night - the brighter the light! * Paul encouraged the Philippians to "Do all things without complaining and disputing, that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world, holding fast the word of life ..." (Phil 2:14-16). Jesus presented the perfect model for this as He demonstrated the wonderful forgiveness that God offers each individual through His grace. Yet, as we shall see, in the end this grace is ultimately only fully efficacious to those who believe! * This message was presented by Bob Corbin on July 27, 2025 at Family Bible Church in Martinez, Georgia.

    68 Luke 23:13-34 (Portraits of Grace)
    Jul 20 2025
    * You can get the sermon note sheet at: http://family-bible-church.org/2025Messages/25Jul20.pdf * We have come to the point in the earthly life of Christ where He has been officially "turned-over" to the secular authorities. His people have disowned him and betrayed him. Yet, in the midst of all of this, YHWH is still the same God as He declared Himself to be in the days of Moses. He is faithful even when man is not. * God desires ALL men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. No matter how vile the sinner, Jesus died for them! When He died, He became the atonement for the sins of the entire world! There is not anyone's sin that is to GREAT for God to forgive! * In today's passage, we see five different Portraits of Grace. The first three vignettes remind us that our great God and Savior died even for the sins of His enemies, the worst of sinners and those who would not take a stand for truth. They all had an opportunity to repent, but did they? In the next portrait, the grace of God is portrayed as He sovereignly uses ordinary men to perform extra-ordinary tasks which at first do not seem quite the blessing, and even potentially horrific! Finally, we see the grace of God calling out to those who are without knowledge to gain wisdom and understanding to call upon the Savior before it is too late! * This message was presented by Bob Corbin on July 20, 2025 at Family Bible Church in Martinez, Georgia.

    67 Luke 22:63-23:17 (Faultless)
    Jul 13 2025
    * You can get the sermon note sheet at: http://family-bible-church.org/2025Messages/25Jul13.pdf * We have spent the past five messages examining the 22nd chapter of Luke. * As a reminder, Luke stated from the beginning that he was writing this account in order "that you may know the certainty of those things in which you were instructed." He declared that he had performed personal research into the affairs of Christ including interviewing those who were eye witnesses. These things which was writing about changed his life. He went from Luke the physician to Luke the evangelist! * As we have examined chapter 22, you can see that the theme of the chapter has been the betrayal of Christ. * Last week, we saw the culmination of the betrayal by Judas Iscariot. Today, we see the step next of this betrayal with that of the Jewish leaders. * Today, we examine the "judicial process" by which Jesus was tried and condemned. But contained within these mock trials are two proclamations which are extreme importance - one by Jesus and one by Pilate. * This message was presented by Bob Corbin on July 13, 2025 at Family Bible Church in Martinez, Georgia.

    66 Luke 22:31-62 (Betrayal and Denial)
    Jul 6 2025
    * You can get the sermon note sheet at: http://family-bible-church.org/2025Messages/25Jul06.pdf * Four weeks ago we turned to the final day of Jesus the Messiah’s earthly life and ministry with the consideration of Judas’ decision to betray Jesus. Since then, we examined the Passover Seder that Jesus held with His disciples and Jesus’ example of having a Servant’s Heart (to lead by humbly serving). * Today, we finish a two-week look at Luke’s account of Jesus warning His disciples of trouble that is coming, with specific warning to Simon Peter, followed by Jesus praying in the Garden of Gethsemane on the Mount of Olives, Judas’ betrayal of Jesus, Jesus’ arrest, and Peter’s three denials of Jesus. These events are connected; Jesus’ warning and example show us that prayer is the key to avoiding temptation, to successfully handling a troublesome situation, and that without it we are likely to succumb to temptation – Judas fails by going through with the betrayal, Peter fails by denying Christ. * Meanwhile, Jesus succeeds! He does not enter into temptation. Rather, Jesus goes forward with carrying out the will of the Father. In the process, Jesus demonstrates great love for us: “Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends.” – John 15:12

    65 Luke 22:31-62 (Preparation for Tribulation)
    Jun 29 2025
    * You can get the sermon note sheet at: http://family-bible-church.org/2025Messages/25Jun29.pdf * Three weeks ago we turned to the final day of Jesus the Messiah's earthly life and ministry with the consideration of Judas' decision to betray Jesus. In the last two weeks we examined the Passover Seder that Jesus held with His disciples and Jesus’ example of having a Servant’s Heart (to lead by humbly serving). * Today, we look at Luke’s account of Jesus warning His disciples of trouble that is coming, with specific warning to Simon Peter, followed by Jesus praying in the Garden of Gethsemane on the Mount of Olives. This precedes what is coming next week: Judas’ betrayal of Jesus, Jesus’ arrest, and Peter’s three denials of Jesus. These events are connected; Jesus' warning and example show us that prayer is the key to avoiding temptation, to successfully handling a troublesome situation, and that without it we are likely to succumb to temptation – Judas fails by going through with the betrayal, Peter fails by denying Christ. * The Greek words peirazo (verb) and periasmos (noun) mean "to try, to test, to tempt . Whether it is a test or a temptation depends on the motivation of the one bringing the troublesome situation (e.g. God, Satan, a friend, an enemy) and by the response of the one entering the troublesome situation. James 1:13b-14 says "for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He Himself tempt anyone. But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed." * This message was presented by Bob Corbin on June 22, 2025 at Family Bible Church in Martinez, Georgia.
