Mark - The Beginning of the Gospel 30:46

15 weeks назад30:46

30:46

We are starting a new series in the Gospel of Mark. Now you may not be able to attend and watch all of the services but I encourage you to watch as many as you can because it'll be relevant. So if you have your Bibles and you should, please turn to the Gospel of Mark starting with Chapter 1. Now while you're turning there, let me say that it is long-held belief that John Mark wrote Mark. There's nothing internally that says that other than there's a discussion when Jesus is arrested that there was one of the minor followers who escaped and they grabbed his coat and clothing and he ran out and was somewhat naked. Some people think that that was that person, but may or may not have been. The early church fathers discussed and they believe it was Mark who wrote the Gospel. Others think that Mark wrote it either based on his discussion with Peter or as Peter had been martyred that he wanted to make sure that what Peter had experienced in the teaching and life of the Lord that he wrote that down. Sermon Notes Mark 1:1 – 3 The prophesy of one who will prepare Mesiah’s way Mark 1:4 – 8 John the Baptizer is that preparing one & testifies about the Coming One Mark 1:9 – 11 Heaven testifies of Jesus as the Son of God Mark 1:12 & 13 Jesus impelled to go into the wilderness to be tempted by Satan Mark 1:14 & 15 Jesus preaches the gospel Mark 1:16 – 20 Jesus calls His initial disciples Mark 1:21 & 22 Jesus’ amazing teaching Mark 1:23 – 27 Jesus does not allow unclean spirits to speak of Him Mark 1:28 The news of Jesus spreads immediately everywhere…

Today we're going to talk about who that baby was and is and what he is going to do service when it's after the 25th? Well, let me tell you there's a couple of reasons why. Sermon Notes Isaiah 9:2 – 5 From darkness to light, gladness increased and enemies defeated Isaiah 9:6 & 7 A Child shall be born, who is God and He will reign in peace Luke 2:1 – 20 A Child is born who is Christ the Lord Revelation 22:1 – 5 The Lamb shall sit upon the throne in heaven…

We tend to be very complex people, but in complexity, it is something that we know well when we're able to take that complex thing and make it simple. You probably know yourself better than anyone else. So I would suggest that you think about writing a few sentences, saying just exactly who you are and maybe a brief paragraph as to an event that typifies that. We're going to take a look at Joseph and an event in his life and a few sentences that describes exactly who he is. Who he is is describe who you are? Not what you've done, but who you are. And then take maybe one event in your life that would simplify that question, could you do it?

Sermon Notes Luke 1:26 – 37 What the Lord has planned for Mary Luke 1:38 Behold the bond-servant of the Lord, Humble and submissive James 4:6 & 7 Be humble and submit to God Matthew 25:14 – 30 We are Christ’s slaves and will be rewarded or condemned by our use of His talents What if you were asked by God to do something that you thought was impossible? But if you agreed to it, you could be subject to a very painful death or at minimum being ostracized by your community and losing the relationships with people very close to you. Would you say yes or would you say no? It's easy to ask that question when those consequences aren't facing us. We're going to take a look at someone today in the Bible who was asked that very question. And we will see the response, not only just the response, but the humility to things, and sometimes there's a reaction that may or may not be justified. So I'll give you an example of personally.…

Baptism 41:13

41:13

We're talking about baptism today. We're going to talk about what it means to be baptized, who are the people to be baptized, and why is it we do it, and what is the mode or the mechanism for baptism. So I encourage you to come and listen to baptism talk today about baptism. I'm going to make some statements that probably you will agree with. I'm going to make a particular one statement that you're going to go, "huh?" And then I'll show you what the scriptures say about all of this and then we'll be a little more educated on why Baptists look at baptism in a particular way. So the word baptism or what does it mean? It means to dip or to immerse. So that's the meaning and that's why Baptists dip or immerse as a form of baptism and I'll flush that out a little further. Sermon Notes Baptize Means to dip or immerse Baptism Is not a sacrament Matthew 3:13 –17 Jesus our example Matthew 28:16 – 20 Jesus commanded us to be and do Colossians 2:9 – 14 What baptism means – shows what Christ did Acts 8:25 – 39` An example of one person baptized Acts 16:25 – 34 An example of a family being baptized…

The Lord’s Supper 33:09

21 weeks назад33:09

33:09

Some people say that it doesn't matter what you believe so long as you're sincere. I sincerely disagree with that. I think it's very important what you believe and only should you believe that you should have conviction in it. We're going to be talking about the Lord's Supper, something that was initiated during Jesus' ministry and his last Passover celebration with his disciples. It's funny in that initial celebration of what he has told us to celebrate, there are so many different views and doctrines on it. We're going to take a look at what the Bible says and take a look at some of the various views of it. But I want you to understand that conviction is important. There was a gentleman in the 13th century and the 15th century England who had a different view of what we're doing than the church. They imprisoned him for a year hoping that he would be camped. And then they put him on a stake to burn and gave him an opportunity to recount. And he did it because he believed with conviction his position on this celebration. So I'm going to encourage you to find out what the scriptures say what we're celebrating, and to talk about what other denominations and others teach so that we have a better idea of why it is we believe what we believe. So I want to start off with something that's really not per se in the Scriptures. Sermon Notes Lord Supper contained in Passover Seder Matthew 26:26 – 30 Jesus initiates the Lord’s Supper Elements are unleavened bread and wine/red grape juice 1 Corinthians 11:23 – 34 The remembrance of it as Paul wax taught by Christ…

Giving Thanks 28:09

21 weeks назад28:09

28:09

Thankfulness. There seems to be several stages in thankfulness. As parents or perhaps when we were children, our parents taught us to be polite and say thank you when somebody gave us something. And then because we hear things like to live a thankful life, it makes you more happy, and so you hear people talk about an attitude of gratitude and that they are thankful for, like I'm thankful for my family or I'm thankful for my health. But there are at least two more stages of thankfulness that the Bible talks about, that people rarely really include in their thankfulness. I encourage you to listen to this message as life. Sermon Notes Psalm 92:1 – 4 It is good to thank God 1 Thessalonians 5:18 It is God’s will to give thanks Ephesians 5:20 Give thanks always 1 Chronicles 16:8 – 12 & 23 – 35 An example of praising God…

Jesus Didn’t Die for Our Mistakes 30:16

22 weeks назад30:16

30:16

The title of today's message is "Jesus Didn't Die for Our Mistakes." If that sounds a little odd to you because you've been listening to current Christian music, I encourage you to listen to today's message, especially if you think that maybe I'm wrong. I want you to see what the Bible has to say about Jesus dying, not for our mistakes, is, is to say that's the way we've always done it. I remember many decades ago our congregation was deciding whether we would keep 11 o'clock as our worship time, or move it to 10, and there were two main arguments to keep it at 11 o'clock. One was, because that's the way we always did it, the second was, well some other member of our denomination who may be traveling would get the wrong time. Sermon Notes Ephesians 2:1 We were dead in our trespasses and sins Romans 3:23 All have sinned and come short of God’s glory Romans 5:6 – 8 While we were still sinners Christ died for us Romans 6:23 The wages of sin is death 1 John 1:5 – 10 Denying our sins simply is self-delusional Romans 10:8 – 13 Confession and belief results in salvation Ephesians 2:4 – 9 Saved by grace through faith…

As a general rule, it is wise to always look forward. And you will get people who will give you advice that we always need to be forward-thinking and forward-looking. However, there are times and exceptions, if you will, when it's a good idea to turn around and look to see what's been behind. The Scriptures will tell us a good example of why we should, on occasion, look to see what was behind. Sermon Notes Psalm 23:6a It is certain that goodness & lovingkindness by God will follow me always Romans 8:28 God causes all things to work for good to those who love Him and are called according to His purpose Psalm 86:13 –15 God is merciful and abundant in lovingkindness Psalm 23:6b I will dwell in God’s house forever John 14:1 – 6 Jesus confirms this promise Ephesians 3:14 –19 Paul prays that we might comprehend God’s great love toward us…

The Shadow Doesn’t Harm 32:41

32:41

It seems in today's world pronouns have come into great controversy, but in simplest level when I'm talking about myself me, I use a word I, me, my. If I'm talking about somebody who's not in my presence I will usually use he or she. So for instance if somebody's not in my presence I go he's a nice young man or she's going to graduate college. I'm talking about somebody who's not present but I'm referencing them. We're going to take a look today at Psalm 23 verse 4 that has a very significant change in what happens. The Psalmist says in the beginning, "The Lord is my shepherd I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside quiet waters. He restores my soul. He guides me the paths of righteousness for his name's sake." But now the Psalmist is going to change and talk about two things that are very significant related to fear that most people have that's going to come across in all of our lives. So see what the two things that the Psalmist talks about that gives us comfort at afraid of? Sermon Notes Psalm 23:4a Moving through the valley of the shadow of death Psalm 107:10 – 16 God saves from the shadow of death John 3:16 Whoever believes will not perish but have eternal life John 11:25 & 26 Jesus is the resurrection and the life 1 Corinthians 15:50 – 57 Death is defeated and we have the victory through Christ Job 19:23 – 27 My eyes shall see my Redeemer Psalm 23:4b Do not fear harm/evil because YOU God are with me Romans 8:35 – 39 Nothing not even death separates us from God Psalm 23::4c Both God’s rod and staff comfort Micah 7:14 May He shepherd His people with His scepter…

I Can Trust the Shepherd Because of His Name 27:21

27:21

A few years ago, my wife and I and some founding members took a trip to Boston. But before we went, my wife booked a travel, I mean a tour guide. And that tour guide took us around Boston to certain historical points and other points of interest. And he was able to do so because he knew the city and he knew about the various points of interest and gave explanation. He knew what he was doing and he took us directly and we didn't have a circuitous route. We went to the most direct route, not wasting any time. The psalmist talks about the shepherd and the shepherd is going to guide him. But this guidance is far more important than going on a trip to someplace. It's about a trip in eternity. See what the shepherd does?

We are taking a serious look at Psalm 23. The first verse the psalmist talked about that the Lord is His shepherd and hopefully He is our shepherd as well. But on the next three verses he's going to talk about the benefits of the Lord being His shepherd. We're going to take a look at the first verse of those three verses to see the provision that God has given us Sermon Notes Psalm 23:2a The Lord makes me lie down in green pastures Psalm 79:13 We are the sheep of His pasture Ezekiel 34:14 & 15 God will feed His people and give them rest Matthew 11:28 & 29 Come to Jesus and find rest Psalm 23:2b The Lord leads beside quite waters John 4:10 Jesus gives living waters John 7:37 – 39 Thirsty – come to Jesus and from your inner most will flow rivers of living water Revelation 7:17 The Lamb will guide us to springs of the water of life Psalm 46:1 – 9 For with God is the fountains of life…

My Shepherd 28:04

I want you to imagine, or maybe you actually are, a classic piano player. The first time anybody heard you play any music, it was this classical music. But yet you had the same kind of talent in other musical instruments and even in your voice. So perhaps you were an outstanding guitar player as well as a singer. But every time people saw you, they wanted you to play classical piano. That's kind of the way Psalm 23 is. And we're going to take an in-depth look at Psalm 23, because usually when people hear it, it's during a funeral or a memorial service. But the comfort and the provision and the guidance of God is more than just during death and eternity. It talks about leading us, guiding us, and providing for us. So come along as we study Psalm 23 and what it speaks to us who are alive. Sermon Notes Psalm 23:1b The Lord is my Shepherd John 10:7 – 10 Jesus is the door for the sheep to go in and out to find pasture John 10:11 – 13 Jesus is the Good Shepherd who protects His sheep John 10:14 – 18 He knows His sheep and they know Him. He lays down His life for the sheep and picks it back up again Psalm 23B A statement of faith nothing is needed…

I want you to imagine you might have been in this situation. You're a salesman and your sales have been trending down. Or perhaps you're in the machine shop and your widgets, many of them are having to be scrapped. And then you get a note from the owner of the business that says that they want to see you at the end of the day. I would pretty much imagine that you'd be really nervous that you are going to have to talk to the owner of the business because at this point you weren't performing as what others thought you ought to. Sermon Notes II Corinthians 5:10 All believers must appear I Corinthians 3:10 – 15 Be careful how you build…
