A rich young ruler asks Jesus what he must do to obtain eternal life. Knowing that the man’s god is his wealth, Jesus challenges him to give his wealth away and follow him. But because the man loves his wealth too much to do as Jesus asks, he goes away sad. This Sunday we talk about the root of this man’s problem, about his false assumptions about Jesus, his wealth, and the route to eternal life.
Divorce and remarriage: opinions flourish around this subject but what does the Bible say? In this message, Pastor Doug surveys the biblical teaching on divorce and remarriage and answers the common questions Christians ask.
In this passage, Jesus heals two people. First, He casts out a demon from the daughter of a Gentile woman. The Gentile woman continued to beg for mercy, even after Jesus referred to her as a Gentile dog! What is going on here? With Jesus, it is always more than meets the eye! Next, Jesus heals a deaf-mute man. These two healings shed light on how we should approach Jesus and why we should approach him this way.
In this next passage from the Gospel of Mark, we discover the horrible details of John the Baptist’s death: the debauchery, the revenge, the crowd pleasing and even the regret. We also learn major lessons from each of the major actors in this story.
In this message we see an example of Jesus’ power over nature and are reminded that there is no sphere over which Jesus is not Lord. We are also reminded that God’s love and care for us is not diminished by the trials and difficulties we experience. Sometimes Jesus walks with us through trials, and sometimes he delivers us from them. Either way, he wants us to trust him, and not to doubt his great love for us.
