Jesus the Game Changer
1 Corinthians 15: 1 - 11
An outline of what the Church believes about Jesus.

I am far within the mark when I say that all the armies that ever marched, all the navies that were ever built, all the parliaments that have ever sat and all the kings that ever reigned, put together, have not affected the life of man on this earth as powerfully as that one solitary life.

Jesus existed. He was mentioned in Roman records (and Josephus' history).

2nd - What we know of Jesus was from those who wanted to write his story.
Luke 1:1 - 4

Luke 15:1 - 7
Jesus The Game Changer - Equality introduction
Humans are created equal
Genesis 1:26, 27
We share some of His character. This is what our worth is based on.

Psalm 139:13 - 16
US Declaration of Independence: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal."
But an evolutionist has said. "Created equal should therefore be translated evolved differently."

Jews thought they were better than Gentiles. Most of Roman society were in slavery. Women were viewed as property of and inferior to men.

We belong to each other, such that we are equal.

Our society seldom treats people equally.
- e. g. Aboriginal people neglected in equality stakes.

You matter because God created you and loves you.
You all matter to Him equally. Your worth is embedded so deeply that no matter what you have gone through, what you have done or how you're treated by others, God loves you.

Galatians 3:18

Matthew 18:1 - 6
Jesus the Game Changer - Women and Children

We need to understand the context of Jesus' day, when we read regarding women and children. Women were treated as property of their husbands.

Plato - Categorised women, children and slaves with animals. Daughters wer seen as burdens.

Luke 8:1 - 3
Three women who supported Jesus in His ministry.

John 20:10 - 18
If it was made up, the witness would not have been a woman.

Luke 10:38 - 41
Mary had chosen what was better.

Matthew 18:1 - 6
Jesus affirms children

Ephesians 5:25
Radical words for the culture of the day.

Every male needs to rethink how they look at women and not objectify them.

We can be most like Jesus when we affirm people.
