Bible Truth and Prophecy: Transforming Discipleship - 3 Studies (David Mansfield

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=""]📝 Playlist Description In this three‑part series, **David Mansfield (Hyde Park)** takes us deep into the life of **John the Disciple** – from his fiery beginnings to his tender final years. Using the Greek word **metamorphosis** (Romans 12:2; 2 Corinthians 3:18), David shows that true discipleship isn’t a small improvement – it’s a **radical transformation**, as complete as a caterpillar becoming a butterfly. 📖 **Study #1 – Son of Thunder** Why did Jesus nickname John *Boanerges*? Discover the hidden family ties between John, Jesus and John the Baptist – and the surprising lesson John learned from **Samaritans** about God’s love for the whole world. 📖 **Study #2 – The Vessel & The Glory** John was present at the raising of Jairus’s daughter, the Transfiguration, and Gethsemane. See how Jesus entrusted him with secrets, taught him the **gentle arm of the Shepherd** (Isaiah 40:11), and prepared him to be a vessel of glory – even at the foot of the cross. 📖 **Study #3 – Finding Balance** Before cleansing the temple, Jesus took his six disciples to a **wedding in Cana**. Why? To teach them that zeal for God must never come at the expense of family, practical support, and the “bruised reed” (Isaiah 42:3). Learn the balance between fiery faith and compassionate action. Whether you struggle with impulsiveness, doubt, or simply feeling stuck – this series will encourage you: **God still moulds earthen vessels into vessels of glory.** [embedyt] https://www.youtube.com/embed?listType=playlist&list=PLsmUZDApxHVEX9Gqvwqe6knUw1llL-bqz&layout=gallery[/embedyt] ## 📖 Complete Bible Verses Discussed (All 3 Studies) - 🎣 **Matthew 4:18‑22** – The call of James and John from their boat - 🚤 **Luke 5:11** – They forsook all and followed Him - ⏰ **John 1:39** – “About the tenth hour” – first two hours with Jesus - 🔥 **John 2:13‑17** – Cleansing the temple: “The zeal of thine house has eaten me up” (Psalm 69:9) - 💖 **John 3:16** – “God so loved the world” – Saviour of all people - 🚶 **John 4:3‑42** – The woman at the well and two days with Samaritans - 🏠 **John 2:1‑12** – The wedding at Cana – Jesus’ first “exaltation” to his disciples - 👨‍👩‍👧 **John 2:12** – Jesus, his mother, brothers and disciples all go to Capernaum together - ✨ **2 Corinthians 3:18** – “Changed” (metamorphosis) from glory to glory - 💡 **2 Corinthians 4:6‑7** – Light shining in our hearts – treasure in earthen vessels - 🦋 **Romans 12:2** – Be transformed by the renewing of your mind - 🕊️ **1 John 4:7‑11** – “Love one another… God is love” - 🌍 **1 John 4:14** – “We have seen and testify… Saviour of the world” - ⚡ **Malachi 3:1‑3** – The messenger of the covenant – a refiner’s fire - 📜 **Joshua 24:14** – “Fear the Lord in sincerity and truth” - 🐑 **Isaiah 40:11** – “He shall feed his flock like a shepherd… carry the lambs in his bosom” (Talitha cumi) - 🕯️ **Isaiah 42:3** – “A bruised reed he will not break, smoking flax he will not quench” - 👑 **Exodus 28** – Glory and beauty of the high priest’s garments - 🕍 **Leviticus 16** – Day of Atonement – pure white garments - ⚔️ **Matthew 20:20‑23** – Salomi asks for her sons to sit at Jesus’ right and left - 🏔️ **Mark 9:2‑8** – The Transfiguration (Peter, James, John) - 👂 **Mark 5:22‑43** – Raising of Jairus’s daughter – “Talitha cumi” - ⛪ **John 14:2** – “In my Father’s house are many abiding places” - 🍇 **John 15:4‑8** – “Abide in me… bear much fruit” - 👣 **1 John 2:6** – “He that abideth in him ought to walk as he walked” - 😢 **John 19:26‑27** – “Woman, behold thy son… behold thy mother” - 🧵 **John 20:5‑8** – The empty tomb – linen cloths left behind – and he believed - ⚖️ **John 19:13‑16** – The sixth hour – six hours of trial - 🦅 **2 Peter 1:16‑18** – Eyewitnesses of his majesty - 💪 **Acts 12:2** – James killed by the sword – John lives longest - 🔑 **Revelation 1:9** – John on Patmos - 🌟 **John 20:31** – “These are written that you might believe… and have *zoe* (vitality, life)” We are a Christadelphian team, Brothers and sisters of Christ, and we're passionate about delivering powerful, Scripture‑based content to strengthen and inspire your faith journey.
