June 8, Sunday Service of Worship (Mark 2:18-22)
Teaching through entire books of the bible is the most profitable manner of reading and studying the Scriptures. God passed down these Scriptures to us as a unified, comprehensible story. The whole story God tells is made up of 66 different books. And each book tells part of the whole. Each book…
May 25, Sunday Service of Worship (Mark 2:1-12)
What an amazing thing that we can read God’s own story in God’s own words. People like to associate with “remnants of the past.” 600K people still visit Elvis Presley’s home each year, even though he died over 40 years ago. Some 20M people visit the most visited historical site each year, the…
April 27, Sunday Service of Worship (Mark 1:21-28)
“Turn in your bibles to Mark 1:21-28. And what God presents to us in this passage is the authority of Jesus. What authority does Jesus possess? And what does the authority of Jesus compel? When Jesus speaks, what happens? Mark 1:21-22 And they went into Capernaum, and immediately on…
April 13, Sunday Morning Service of Worship (Mark 1:9-15)
“Well, turn in your bibles to Mark 1:9, as we continue in this new series from the Gospel of Mark, for a message titled, “Tested, Approved, and Qualified.” Mark opened his account with a simple headline, “the beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.” I am going to take the…
April 6, Sunday Service of Worship
…Well, we are starting a new series on the book of Mark. And I’ve titled this series, EXTRA! EXTRA! The Kingdom of God invades Babylon! When you hear that series title, what does it sound like? A news headline. People write news headlines to grab your attention and compel you to read the story. And the story following the headline relates events that already…
March 30, Sunday Service of Worship
…Who builds better a better foundation? You, or the Lord? Easy answer. Easy to answer on a multiple-choice test at least. More difficult to answer on a Tuesday when everything has fallen apart and you are tempted to despair or trust in your own efforts. More difficult to answer on a Friday when all seems to be going well and your confidence is in your flesh. But the…
March 23, Sunday Service of Worship
SERMON: Judges 21:1-15, The Consequences of our Hands …You’ve heard the saying, “taking matters into your own hands.” What comes to mind when you hear that saying? What events have transpired that make a person take a matter into his own hands? Everyone else has failed. Everyone tried to succeed, but all their efforts resulted in failure. So now, there’s only one…
March 9, Sunday Service of Worship
SERMON: Judges 20:26-48, Victory in Repentance …Israel was so outraged by the evil of Benjamin that they never considered if they themselves were actually righteous. Israel thought that only Benjamin had a sin problem. But the reality was that all Israel had a sin problem. All Israel had walked apathetically with the Lord for decades. They all had walked in their…
March 2, Sunday Service of Worship
SERMON: Judges 20:1-25, Selective Outrage …This story applies no less to Israel than it does now to the church. We live in calamitous days. And Christians often show the same selective outrage as of Israel. Tampons in the boy’s bathroom in a public, secular, worldly school? Outrage. A lukewarm, worldly, apathetic church, brethren suffering around the world, entire…
February 16, Sunday Service of Worship
SERMON: Judges 19:1-30, When Sodom and Gomorrah Come to Town …The world is going to “world.” And God judges the world. No need to be surprised or concerned about the wickedness in the world. The culture is trying to focus your worries on the world. And that’s a dangerous thing, because our concern, as Christians, is to be a clean and pure people in the church as…
