In Church with Jesus GOAL: That the hearers will recognize the absolute authority of Christ Jesus, by daily turning to Him in repentance and faith. 17 The Lord said to me: “What they say is good. 18 I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their brothers; I will put my words in his mouth,…

Snakes & Roaches Or those glass cases at the zoo where they say there is a snake and you look for hours until you are convinced you should tell someone - the snake has escaped. As we read Mark’s gospel - I want us to notice how early in the story we are. Already in chapter 1: John the Baptist Temptation…

This morning we are going to begin talking about the Kingdom of God! Many people view the kingdom of God as some place that they will go to when they die if they believe in Jesus This is absolutely correct! However, maybe it is a bit more than that? We are going to talk this morning about what the Bible…

The Purpose Fascination - Discovery - Identity - Authenticity One day, Napoleon was speaking of the Divinity of Christ; when General Bertrand said:— “I can not conceive, sire, how a great man like you can believe that the Supreme Being ever exhibited himself to men under a human form, with a body, a…

Introduction If you’re of a certain age, you’re familiar with the movie the Lion King. That movie came out in 1994, the year that my daughter was born (and coincidentally, before Disney was the woke-monster it has become). My daughter was a big fan of the movie - and it’s a good movie. One of the things…

We have a trust issue. I hear it in how we talk with one another. I hear it in the complaints of others. Every year the most ethical and trustworthy professions come out. The information is not very encouraging. We have an authority issue. Corollary to our trust issue is then who has authority and ability…

Sin isolates, Jesus unites; yet, moments of rest and solitude with God remain essential.

SUMMARY: The cares —including suffering—of God’s people have both a present blessing and a future hope: as our Creator and Lord uses tribulation to keep pointing us to His faithfulness. GOAL : That my hearers will understand that though Christians endure tribulations and anxieties, God cares and has…

Jesus Heals We’re still reading from the first chapter of the gospel according to Mark. Mark really rushes to the point - where the other gospels take a little while to get to Jesus healing and performing miracles. In Matthew we wait till the 3rd chapter. In Luke - the 4th chapter. In John - Jesus turns…

Jesus taught with power and authority and you can too!

God’s got my attention in two ways this week. One way has to do with power; and the other with what it means to take hands, to be in relationship with one another. First up, power. I have this thing that I’ve noticed which I think might be one of the way God gets my attention. I’ll often have songs in…

In 1973, Warner Brothers released a movie called the Exorcist that set the standard for the way we have seen demon possession for the past fifty years.

Fisher of Men Why is the term “Fishers of Men” used by Jesus? What does it take to be a “fisherman”?

Now, how does that translate into winning souls?…

This morning we look at a short passage that contains some of Luke’s first accounts of Jesus healing people. We looked a few weeks ago at Jesus rebuking a demon and casting him out of a man in the synagogue. Our passage today is a continuance of the narrative of events that happened the same day. So…

Jesus has complete and unmatched authority over all things, including sickness, death, and spiritual forces. Join Pastor Steve as he looks at Mark 1:21-28 and shows how Jesus' authority was demonstrated in the synagogue in Capernaum.

21 Then they went into Capernaum, and immediately on the Sabbath He entered the synagogue and taught. 22 And they were astonished at His teaching, for He taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes. 23 Now there was a man in their synagogue with an unclean spirit. And he cried out, 24…

Authority. We all have a mixed relationship with authority, do we not? On one hand, we are rebels when it comes to certain authorities. We bristle at the authority. Don’t tell me what to do. Rules are meant to be broken. And yet, at the same time, we all live under authority every single day. When a…

21 They went into Capernaum, and right away he entered the synagogue on the Sabbath and began to teach. 22 They were astonished at his teaching because he was teaching them as one who had authority, and not like the scribes. 23 Just then a man with an unclean spirit was in their synagogue. He cried out,…

Title : A Faith That Saves: Part 2 While he was still speaking, people came from the synagogue leader’s house and said, “Your daughter is dead.

Christian Standard Bible (Chapter 1) 1 The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God., 2 As it is written in Isaiah the prophet: “See, I am sending my messenger ahead of you;he will prepare your way” 3 “A voice of one crying out in the wilderness:Prepare the way for the Lord;make his paths…

Would you agree that a disciple-maker is a leader? 20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” 12 For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the basic principles of the oracles of God.…
