Calvary Nexus Sunday Sermons

Mark 4:21-34 :: "Parables of the Kingdom" When Jesus comes as the Messiah, He didn’t meet the expectations that many had.

Physical illness, disease, and death are a result of man’s original rebellion against God in the Garden of Eden [Gen. 3]. These woeful conditions are not God’s fault, and it is not God’s job to end human suffering at this time. Yet, due to God’s grace, mercy, and love He offers restoration.

There is an expression, “Familiarity breeds contempt.” It is the idea that generally the more you know about a person, the more likely you are to lose respect.

Jesus entered our world to reveal God’s love. God entered our world and became a man to redeem humanity to Himself. Redemption is taking action to save from error or evil. God’s love has an ultimate redemptive purpose. Without Christmas, there would be no Good Friday, and no Resurrection Sunday. Our culture tends to equate “love” with sentiment, attraction, and random acts of kindness, but Jesus r...
