Song: Leaning on the Everlasting Arms Today we see that Jesus not only demands more than we could ever imagine, but he also gives more than we could ever dream.  She goes to Jesus seeking a doctor and she finds a father.  He goes to Jesus asking Him to make his daughter better…and Jesus does…

Mark 5:21-43. Part 2 Song: As The Deer Notes:  Here we see two very different people both driven to Jesus in a moment of difficulty and desperation. They both come to Jesus…but Jesus demands more of them than they could ever imagine.  He demands she speak up…and He delays in the middle of a crisis.…

Here we see two very different people both driven to Jesus in a moment of difficulty and desperation. If desperate times drive you to Jesus, then they are good gifts, because near him is the safest place you can be.

Mark 5:1-20  Song: Were You There? Notes:  On Good Friday we think about how Jesus frees us.  1. There is a confrontation 2. There is an extermination 3. There is a transformation 

Mark 5:1-20  Song: Ah, Holy Jesus, How Hast Thou Offended  Notes:  This is a story about how evil can take you, and how Jesus can take you back.  But for today: how does evil take you?  1st there is GAIN 2nd there is a CHAIN 3rd there is PAIN  But how does Jesus take you back? By…

Mark 5:1-20  Song: O Sacred Head Now Wounded  Notes:  First Jesus calms an external storm and then he calms an internal storm.  In this man, we see one of Satan’s primary strategies: to kill whatever he can. If he can’t kill you, he will kill your joy, your hope, your peace.  But don’t die before…

Song: When I Survey the Wondrous Cross Notes: Question 1: Don’t you care that we are dying? They assume that since they lost control of the world then the world was out of control. That is a bad assumption.  Question 2: Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith? Central Theme: of…

In his gospel Mark is showing Jesus’ victory over death and how Jesus dealt with death’s many invasions into human life. Because of Jesus’ resurrection, all the disciples believed that death was defeated, but the central question is why does its shadow still remain?  To help us, Mark gives us 13 “case studies” in how…

Psalms 24:7 Lift up your heads, O gates! And be lifted up, O ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in. Song: O Come to the Altar  Notes:  This verse is both a declaration and an invitation.  It is a declaration that the Lord of Hosts is the victorious King of Glory.  And…

He has founded the earth upon the waters…and that is good news. It means he can bring stability out of chaos, order out of disorder. He is the solid rock on which we stand.

Psalms 27:7-9 Hear, O LORD, when I cry aloud; be gracious to me and answer me! You have said, “Seek my face.” My heart says to you, “Your face, LORD, do I seek.” Hide not your face from me. Turn not your servant away in anger, O you who have been my help. Cast me…

The Prescription for Peace Psalm 24 is a prescription for peace. It tells us how we can be free from fear. It gives us the: Perspective we need: (Psalm 24:1-2) Prescription we follow: (Psalm 24:3-6) Presence we experience: (Psalm 24:7-10)

Psalm 27:14 is a call to courageous waiting. Here we look at John 11 and ask: why does Jesus wait when those he loves are hurting and crying out to him?

To gaze upon the beauty of the Lord. The trouble with times of trouble is that our hearts don’t believe what our heads know. So how do we make them believe? By seeking and seeing true beauty.

Song: Leaning on the Everlasting Arms Notes: Here we see David’s strategy for making war on worry. If you have this you can stand up to anything.  His fears are both hypothetical and actual.  Fear flourishes in the soil of what if… 3 primal things all humans need: Safety  Belonging  Love  Our only hope is…

The name of the Lord is our refuge. Here we run from bears and meditate on the four names of Jesus from Isaiah 9:6-7: Wonderful Counselor Mighty God Everlasting Father Prince of Peace His name is our refuge. His name is our rock. Run there and find rest for your soul.

“The Lord is my light and my salvation.” Ps 27:1 Jesus died in the darkness, so we can live in the light. The Bible begins with God bringing light into the darkness, and it ends with all darkness ultimately being defeated. But in the middle, there is a battle. One of the key plot tensions of…

Matthew 4 is all about ministry: there are three great temptations and three great tasks.  Matthew’s Gospel is a ministry manual. It is a blueprint for how Jesus builds His house.   And in Chapter 4:23 we get Jesus’ core ministry activities. This is a great time for us to pause and talk about our core ministry activities as a church.  So,&#82...

Matthew’s Gospel is a ministry manual. It is a blueprint for how Jesus builds his house.  It is a masterpiece that is simple and inexhaustibly profound. In this sermon, we look at the three great tasks of building the kingdom: 1. (4:12-17) Proclaiming the Gospel: the Light of the world calls the world to repent. …

This week we are looking at the Priest. Literally. What did the priest wear?

This week we continue our walkthrough Exodus and we come to the building plans for the Tabernacle. This might seem like an unlikely place to have a close encounter with the living God: the detailed instructions for setting up God’s tent. But here we learn about who we are and who he is. Overall Structure:…

Matthew 3 is all about beginnings. We begin the Christian life with repentance and baptism. In this sermon we will look at baptism: Jesus’ baptism and ours. Baptism is gospel-theater.
