Hi, and welcome to
His Words Are Life.
00:00:17.01\00:00:19.18
I'm Kelly Mowrer, and thank
you for joining with me today to
00:00:19.21\00:00:22.50
read the word of God.
00:00:22.53\00:00:23.50
Before we turn to the Bible
together, let's go and ask God
00:00:23.51\00:00:27.75
to join us, and to open
our hearts and our minds to
00:00:27.78\00:00:30.60
understand and receive the
word that He has for us today.
00:00:30.63\00:00:33.54
Dear Heavenly Father, thank
You so much for these words that
00:00:33.57\00:00:38.57
not only give us the light that
we need to walk safely with You,
00:00:38.60\00:00:44.34
but they help us to be a
light to bring others to You.
00:00:44.37\00:00:47.69
We pray that You will use
us in our homes, and in our
00:00:47.72\00:00:51.11
communities in the world to
show Your light in the darkness
00:00:51.14\00:00:55.60
that is around us.
00:00:55.63\00:00:56.62
Please be with us now.
00:00:56.65\00:00:57.99
May these words take
root in our hearts and
00:00:58.02\00:01:00.82
bear fruit to Your glory.
00:01:00.85\00:01:01.93
We love You.
00:01:01.96\00:01:02.93
Amen.
00:01:02.94\00:01:03.91
I'm reading from the gospel of
John in the King James Version,
00:01:03.92\00:01:08.30
in chapter 4.
00:01:08.33\00:01:09.80
When we last were together Jesus
had told his disciples that the
00:01:09.83\00:01:14.20
world was like a field ready for
harvest, and men and women ready
00:01:14.23\00:01:18.57
to be gathered
into the kingdom of God.
00:01:18.60\00:01:20.73
We'll begin
reading with verse 36.
00:01:20.76\00:01:23.72
And he that reapeth receiveth
wages, and gathereth fruit into
00:01:23.75\00:01:29.01
life eternal: that both he that
soweth and he that reapeth may
00:01:29.04\00:01:33.24
rejoice together.
00:01:33.27\00:01:34.24
And herein is that saying true,
One soweth, and another reapeth.
00:01:34.25\00:01:38.98
I sent you to reap that whereon
ye bestowed no labor: other men
00:01:39.01\00:01:44.74
laboured, and ye are
entered into their labours.
00:01:44.77\00:01:47.02
And many of the Samaritans
of that city believed on him
00:01:47.05\00:01:50.75
for the saying of the woman,
which testified, He told me all
00:01:50.78\00:01:54.85
that ever I did.
00:01:54.88\00:01:56.09
So when the Samaritans were
come unto him, they besought
00:01:56.12\00:01:59.61
him that he
would tarry with them:
00:01:59.64\00:02:01.27
and he abode there two days.
00:02:01.31\00:02:03.43
And many more believed because
of his own word; and said unto
00:02:03.46\00:02:08.26
the woman, Now we believe,
not because of thy saying:
00:02:08.30\00:02:11.80
for we have heard him ourselves,
and know that this is indeed the
00:02:11.83\00:02:16.73
Christ, the Savior of the world.
00:02:16.76\00:02:18.54
Now after two days he departed
thence, and went into Galilee.
00:02:18.57\00:02:23.15
For Jesus himself testified,
that a prophet hath no honor
00:02:23.18\00:02:27.03
in his own country.
00:02:27.07\00:02:28.04
Then when he was come into
Galilee, the Galileans received
00:02:28.05\00:02:31.78
him, having seen all the things
that he did at Jerusalem at the
00:02:31.81\00:02:35.17
feast: for they
also went unto the feast.
00:02:35.20\00:02:37.58
So Jesus came again
into Cana of Galilee,
00:02:37.61\00:02:40.69
where he made the water wine.
00:02:40.73\00:02:42.88
And there was a certain
nobleman, whose son was sick
00:02:42.91\00:02:45.80
at Capernaum.
00:02:45.83\00:02:46.80
When he heard that Jesus was
come out of Judea into Galilee,
00:02:46.81\00:02:50.67
he went unto him, and besought
him that he would come down,
00:02:50.70\00:02:54.06
and heal his son: for he
was at the point of death.
00:02:54.09\00:02:57.26
Then said Jesus unto him,
Except ye see signs and wonders,
00:02:57.29\00:03:01.57
ye will not believe.
00:03:01.60\00:03:02.74
The nobleman saith unto him,
Sir, come down ere my child die.
00:03:02.77\00:03:07.64
Jesus saith unto him,
Go thy way; thy son liveth.
00:03:07.67\00:03:12.76
And the man believed the word
that Jesus had spoken unto him,
00:03:12.79\00:03:17.94
and he went his way.
00:03:17.97\00:03:19.39
And as he was now going
down, his servants met him,
00:03:19.42\00:03:23.15
and told him,
saying, Thy son liveth.
00:03:23.18\00:03:25.00
Then inquired he of them
the hour when he began to amend.
00:03:25.03\00:03:30.26
And they said unto him,
Yesterday at the seventh hour
00:03:30.29\00:03:33.72
the fever left him.
00:03:33.75\00:03:34.84
So the father knew that it was
at the same hour, in the which
00:03:34.87\00:03:39.19
Jesus said unto him, Thy son
liveth: and himself believed,
00:03:39.22\00:03:44.10
and his whole house.
00:03:44.13\00:03:45.57
This is again the second miracle
that Jesus did, when he was come
00:03:45.60\00:03:50.03
out of Judea into Galilee.
00:03:50.06\00:03:52.17
I'm reading in the gospel of
John, the King James Version,
00:03:52.20\00:03:56.00
chapter 5.
00:03:56.03\00:03:57.17
After this there was a feast
of the Jews; and Jesus went
00:03:57.20\00:04:02.17
up to Jerusalem.
00:04:02.20\00:04:03.38
Now there is at Jerusalem
by the sheep market a pool,
00:04:03.41\00:04:07.30
which is called in the
Hebrew tongue Bethesda,
00:04:07.33\00:04:10.41
having five porches.
00:04:10.44\00:04:11.85
In these lay a great multitude
of impotent folk, of blind,
00:04:11.88\00:04:16.84
halt, withered, waiting
for the moving of the water.
00:04:16.87\00:04:20.34
For an angel went down at a
certain season into the pool,
00:04:20.37\00:04:24.24
and troubled the water:
whosoever then first after the
00:04:24.27\00:04:28.21
troubling of the water stepped
in was made whole of whatsoever
00:04:28.24\00:04:32.56
disease he had.
00:04:32.59\00:04:33.74
And a certain man was
there, which had an infirmity
00:04:33.77\00:04:37.70
thirty and eight years.
00:04:37.73\00:04:39.79
When Jesus saw him lie, and knew
that he had been now a long time
00:04:39.82\00:04:45.01
in that case, he saith unto
him, Wilt thou be made whole?
00:04:45.04\00:04:49.42
The impotent man answered
him, Sir, I have no man,
00:04:49.45\00:04:53.75
when the water is troubled,
to put me into the pool:
00:04:53.78\00:04:56.42
but while I am coming,
another steppeth down before me.
00:04:56.45\00:05:00.05
Jesus saith unto him,
Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.
00:05:00.08\00:05:07.78
And immediately the man was
made whole, and took up his bed,
00:05:07.81\00:05:11.78
and walked: and on the
same day was the sabbath.
00:05:11.82\00:05:15.23
The Jews therefore said unto
him that was cured, It is the
00:05:15.26\00:05:19.59
sabbath day: it is not lawful
for thee to carry thy bed.
00:05:19.62\00:05:23.51
He answered them, He that made
me whole, the same said unto me,
00:05:23.54\00:05:28.13
Take up thy bed, and walk.
00:05:28.16\00:05:29.72
Then asked they him, What man
is that which said unto thee,
00:05:29.75\00:05:34.21
Take up thy bed, and walk?
00:05:34.24\00:05:35.76
And he that was healed wist
not who it was: for Jesus had
00:05:35.79\00:05:41.05
conveyed himself away, a
multitude being in that place.
00:05:41.08\00:05:44.92
Afterward Jesus findeth him in
the temple, and said unto him,
00:05:44.95\00:05:48.79
Behold, thou art made whole:
sin no more, lest a worse thing
00:05:48.82\00:05:54.98
come unto thee.
00:05:55.01\00:05:56.36
The man departed, and told
the Jews that it was Jesus,
00:05:56.39\00:06:00.05
which had made him whole.
00:06:00.08\00:06:01.42
And therefore did the Jews
persecute Jesus, and sought to
00:06:01.45\00:06:05.45
slay him, because he had done
these things on the sabbath day.
00:06:05.48\00:06:08.86
But Jesus answered them,
My Father worketh hitherto,
00:06:08.89\00:06:13.74
and I work.
00:06:13.77\00:06:15.21
Therefore the Jews sought the
more to kill him, because he not
00:06:15.24\00:06:19.58
only had broken the sabbath,
but said also that God was his
00:06:19.61\00:06:22.60
Father, making
himself equal with God.
00:06:22.63\00:06:25.37
Then answered Jesus and
said unto them, Verily, verily,
00:06:25.40\00:06:29.64
I say unto you, The Son can do
nothing of himself, but what he
00:06:29.67\00:06:34.25
seeth the Father do: for
what things soever he doeth,
00:06:34.28\00:06:37.15
these also doeth
the Son likewise.
00:06:37.18\00:06:40.57
For the Father loveth the
Son, and showeth him all things
00:06:40.60\00:06:44.01
that himself doeth: and he
will show him greater works than
00:06:44.04\00:06:47.25
these, that ye may marvel.
00:06:47.28\00:06:49.31
For as the Father raiseth up
the dead, and quickeneth them;
00:06:49.34\00:06:53.01
even so the Son
quickeneth whom he will.
00:06:53.04\00:06:56.24
For the Father judgeth no man,
but hath committed all judgment
00:06:56.27\00:07:00.15
unto the Son: that all
men should honor the Son,
00:07:00.18\00:07:03.12
even as they honor the Father.
00:07:03.15\00:07:05.40
He that honoreth not the Son
honoreth not the Father which
00:07:05.43\00:07:08.72
hath sent him.
00:07:08.75\00:07:09.72
Verily, verily, I say unto
you, He that heareth my word,
00:07:09.73\00:07:13.56
and believeth on him that
sent me, hath everlasting life,
00:07:13.59\00:07:17.58
and shall not come into
condemnation; but is passed
00:07:17.61\00:07:20.89
from death unto life.
00:07:20.92\00:07:22.58
Verily, verily, I say unto you,
The hour is coming, and now is,
00:07:22.61\00:07:27.35
when the dead shall hear
the voice of the Son of God:
00:07:27.38\00:07:30.63
and they that hear shall live.
00:07:30.66\00:07:33.62
For as the Father hath life in
himself; so hath he given to the
00:07:33.65\00:07:38.30
Son to have life in himself;
and hath given him authority to
00:07:38.33\00:07:43.09
execute judgment also,
because he is the Son of man.
00:07:43.12\00:07:46.65
Marvel not at this: for the
hour is coming, in the which all
00:07:46.68\00:07:51.62
that are in the graves shall
hear his voice, and shall come
00:07:51.65\00:07:55.11
forth; they that have done good,
unto the resurrection of life;
00:07:55.14\00:07:59.35
and they that have done
evil, unto the resurrection
00:07:59.38\00:08:02.83
of damnation.
00:08:02.90\00:08:03.87
I can of mine own self do
nothing: as I hear, I judge:
00:08:03.88\00:08:09.02
and my judgment is just; because
I seek not mine own will,
00:08:09.05\00:08:13.95
but the will of the
Father which hath sent me.
00:08:13.98\00:08:17.10
If I bear witness of
myself, my witness is not true.
00:08:17.13\00:08:21.19
There is another that beareth
witness of me; and I know that
00:08:21.22\00:08:26.08
the witness which he
witnesseth of me is true.
00:08:26.11\00:08:28.84
Ye sent unto John, and he
bare witness unto the truth.
00:08:28.87\00:08:33.23
But I receive not testimony from
man: but these things I say,
00:08:33.26\00:08:38.25
that ye might be saved.
00:08:38.28\00:08:40.05
He was a burning and a shining
light: and ye were willing
00:08:40.08\00:08:44.34
for a season to
rejoice in his light.
00:08:44.80\00:08:47.30
But I have greater witness
than that of John: for the works
00:08:47.33\00:08:51.83
which the Father hath given me
to finish, the same works that I
00:08:51.87\00:08:55.35
do, bear witness of me,
that the Father hath sent me.
00:08:55.38\00:08:59.18
And the Father
himself, which hath sent me,
00:08:59.21\00:09:01.50
hath borne witness of me.
00:09:01.53\00:09:03.00
Ye have neither heard his voice
at any time, nor seen his shape.
00:09:03.03\00:09:07.45
And ye have not his word abiding
in you: for whom he hath sent,
00:09:07.48\00:09:12.22
him ye believe not.
00:09:12.25\00:09:13.93
Search the scriptures; for
in them ye think ye have eternal
00:09:13.96\00:09:18.29
life: and they are
they which testify of me.
00:09:18.32\00:09:22.78
And ye will not come to
me, that ye might have life.
00:09:22.81\00:09:26.08
I receive not honor from men.
00:09:26.11\00:09:28.54
But I know you, that ye
have not the love of God in you.
00:09:28.57\00:09:32.84
I am come in my Father's
name and ye receive me not:
00:09:32.87\00:09:36.61
if another shall come in his
own name, him ye will receive.
00:09:36.64\00:09:40.16
How can ye believe, which
receive honor one of another,
00:09:40.19\00:09:44.31
and seek not the honor
that cometh from God only?
00:09:44.34\00:09:47.28
Do not think that I will accuse
you to the Father: there is one
00:09:47.31\00:09:52.17
that accuseth you, even
Moses, in whom ye trust.
00:09:52.20\00:09:55.05
For had ye believed Moses,
ye would have believed me:
00:09:55.08\00:09:59.51
for he wrote of me.
00:09:59.54\00:10:01.71
But if ye believe not
his writings, how shall ye
00:10:01.74\00:10:05.49
believe my words?
00:10:05.52\00:10:06.85
I'm reading from the
gospel of John, chapter 6.
00:10:06.88\00:10:10.41
After these things Jesus
went over the sea of Galilee,
00:10:10.44\00:10:15.20
which is the sea of Tiberias.
00:10:15.23\00:10:16.95
And a great multitude followed
him, because they saw his
00:10:16.98\00:10:20.07
miracles which he did
on them that were diseased.
00:10:20.10\00:10:22.63
And Jesus went up into a
mountain, and there he sat
00:10:22.66\00:10:25.24
with his disciples.
00:10:25.27\00:10:26.55
And the passover, a
feast of the Jews, was nigh.
00:10:26.58\00:10:30.43
When Jesus then lifted up his
eyes, and saw a great company
00:10:30.46\00:10:34.60
come unto him, he saith
unto Philip, Whence shall we buy
00:10:34.63\00:10:38.00
bread, that these may eat?
00:10:38.03\00:10:39.71
And this he said to prove him:
00:10:39.74\00:10:42.03
for he himself
knew what he would do.
00:10:42.07\00:10:44.42
Philip answered him, Two hundred
pennyworth of bread is not
00:10:44.46\00:10:49.74
sufficient for them, that every
one of them may take a little.
00:10:49.77\00:10:52.65
One of his disciples,
Andrew, Simon Peter's brother,
00:10:52.68\00:10:57.27
saith unto him, There is a
lad here, which hath five barley
00:10:57.30\00:11:01.70
loaves, and two small fishes:
but what are they among so many?
00:11:01.73\00:11:05.74
And Jesus said,
Make the men sit down.
00:11:05.77\00:11:09.09
Now there was much
grass in the place.
00:11:09.12\00:11:12.33
So the men sat down, in
number about five thousand.
00:11:12.36\00:11:15.51
And Jesus took the loaves;
and when he had given thanks,
00:11:15.54\00:11:19.06
he distributed to the disciples,
and the disciples to them that
00:11:19.09\00:11:22.80
were set down; and
likewise of the fishes as much
00:11:22.83\00:11:26.37
as they would.
00:11:26.40\00:11:27.37
When they were filled,
he said unto his disciples,
00:11:27.38\00:11:30.28
Gather up the fragments that
remain, that nothing be lost.
00:11:30.31\00:11:34.53
Therefore they gathered
them together, and filled twelve
00:11:34.56\00:11:37.20
baskets with the fragments
of the five barley loaves,
00:11:37.23\00:11:39.78
which remained over and
above unto them that had eaten.
00:11:39.81\00:11:43.78
Then those men, when they had
seen the miracle that Jesus did,
00:11:43.81\00:11:47.61
said, This is of a truth
that Prophet that should come
00:11:47.64\00:11:50.99
into the world.
00:11:51.03\00:11:52.00
When Jesus therefore perceived
that they would come and take
00:11:52.01\00:11:56.04
him by force, to make him a
king, he departed again into a
00:11:56.07\00:11:59.87
mountain himself alone.
00:11:59.90\00:12:02.11
And when even was now come,
his disciples went down unto
00:12:02.14\00:12:06.47
the sea, and entered into
a ship, and went over the sea
00:12:06.50\00:12:09.89
toward Capernaum.
00:12:09.92\00:12:11.31
And it was now dark, and
Jesus was not come to them.
00:12:11.34\00:12:15.07
And the sea arose by reason
of a great wind that blew.
00:12:15.10\00:12:19.42
So when they had rowed
about five and twenty or thirty
00:12:19.45\00:12:22.36
furlongs, they see Jesus walking
on the sea, and drawing nigh
00:12:22.39\00:12:27.31
unto the ship:
and they were afraid.
00:12:27.34\00:12:29.62
But he saith unto
them, It is I; be not afraid.
00:12:29.65\00:12:34.12
Then they willingly received him
into the ship: and immediately
00:12:34.15\00:12:38.19
the ship was at the
land whither they went.
00:12:38.22\00:12:41.16
They day following, when the
people, which stood on the other
00:12:41.19\00:12:44.39
side of the sea, saw that
there was none other boat there,
00:12:44.42\00:12:47.64
save that one whereinto
his disciples were entered,
00:12:47.67\00:12:50.41
and that Jesus went not with
his disciples into the boat,
00:12:50.44\00:12:53.60
but that his disciples were gone
away alone; (Howbeit there came
00:12:53.63\00:12:57.75
other boats from Tiberias nigh
unto the place where they did
00:12:57.78\00:13:01.13
eat bread, after that
the Lord had given thanks:)
00:13:01.16\00:13:03.78
When the people therefore
saw that Jesus was not there,
00:13:03.81\00:13:07.41
neither his disciples, they
also took shipping, and came to
00:13:07.44\00:13:11.51
Capernaum, seeking for Jesus.
00:13:11.54\00:13:13.15
And when they had found him
on the other side of the sea,
00:13:13.18\00:13:16.29
they said unto him,
Rabbi, when camest thou hither?
00:13:16.32\00:13:20.02
Jesus answered them and said,
Verily, verily, I say unto you,
00:13:20.05\00:13:25.31
Ye seek me, not because ye saw
the miracles, but because ye did
00:13:25.34\00:13:30.40
eat of the
loaves, and were filled.
00:13:30.43\00:13:32.05
Labor not for the meat which
perisheth, but for that meat
00:13:32.08\00:13:36.51
which endureth unto everlasting
life, which the Son of man shall
00:13:36.54\00:13:40.64
give unto you: for him
hath God the Father sealed.
00:13:40.67\00:13:44.57
Then said they unto him, What
shall we do, that we might work
00:13:44.60\00:13:49.28
the works of God?
00:13:49.31\00:13:50.34
Jesus answered and said unto
them, This is the work of God,
00:13:50.37\00:13:55.52
that ye believe on
him whom he hath sent.
00:13:55.55\00:13:59.29
They said therefore unto him,
What sign showest thou then,
00:13:59.32\00:14:03.03
that we may see, and believe
thee? what dost thou work?
00:14:03.06\00:14:06.10
Our fathers did eat manna in
the desert; as it is written,
00:14:06.13\00:14:09.12
He gave them bread
from heaven to eat.
00:14:09.15\00:14:11.50
Then Jesus said unto them,
Verily, verily, I say unto you,
00:14:11.53\00:14:15.70
Moses gave you not that
bread from heaven; but my Father
00:14:15.73\00:14:19.75
giveth you the
true bread from heaven.
00:14:19.78\00:14:22.02
For the bread of God is he
which cometh down from heaven
00:14:22.05\00:14:25.46
and giveth life unto the world.
00:14:25.49\00:14:27.66
Then said they unto him, Lord,
evermore give us this bread.
00:14:27.69\00:14:33.96
