    MARY MAGDALENE: A MISUNDERSTOOD BIOGRAPHY – ‘Six Men & Six Women’ Series You know if you are feeling tired this morning, you should really appreciate the crew who were here at 8:00 this morning. If I have ever been teaching and felt like I needed to inject an audience with something, I just witnessed it. I mean they were tired, but they were troopers for coming out and being a part of the early service. I know that you guys are excited today because it is one of those days where we will just break our New Year commitments as we begin to go off the deep end. I mean we will be eating really well today, since it is Easter, and now we are hosed. It just goes awry from here on. So I hope you have a good Easter Sunday with good fellowship. And I hope that this morning you will sense something from God’s word that you can take away from the message that will be an encouragement to you. Let me start off with a story. Several years ago, I was serving as an associate pastor in Conway, Arkansas at Celebration Church. It was a new church, and I was there on staff. I came in one Sunday morning, and I saw my bride getting a cup of coffee. So I went up behind her and began to give her a massage on her shoulders. But then she turned around, and lo and behold, it wasn’t my wife! I was horrified in that moment. What made it even worse was she was a first time guest to our church and I never saw that lady again.

  • Series: the Gospel of Mark "Calming the Storm" # 16 Mark 4:35-41 4-30-17 Sun AM
    Series: The Gospel of Mark "Calming the Storm" # 16 Mark 4:35-41 4-30-17 Sun AM Our hearts have been stirred by 5 revival messages, now its time to get back to the teaching of God's Word to equip and mature saints. The miracle in this passage is not having Jesus in your boat of life and everything will be okay. This passage is about the Creator working in our lives. Two background thoughts- 1. The teaching of Jesus. “The same day” (v. 35) refers to the day on which Jesus gave the “parables of the kingdom” (4:3-24). He had been teaching His disciples the Word and now He would give them a practical test to see how much they had really learned. The hearing of God’s Word is intended to produce faith and faith must always be tested. It is not enough for us merely to learn a lesson or be able to repeat a teaching. We must also be able to practice that lesson by faith, and that is one reason why God permits trials to come to our lives. 2. The miracles of Jesus. Jesus performed miracles to display his power over creation, demons, diseases, and death. This miracles in our text is another opportunity in which the supernatural power of Jesus was displayed. The disciples knew of His divine power yet they were not fully prepared for his display of omnipotence over his creation. TT- Jesus leads the Disciples into a storm as a test of faith and we learn two simple truths about storms.

  • Reflection Jesus, the Miracle Worker
    Reflection Jesus, the miracle worker Last week, Arto spoke to us about Jesus’ teaching, particularly in the form of his many parables, using and often confusing his listeners, and challenging us with their stark imagery. Jesus spent much of his public lifetime teaching. However, as we’ve heard today, he also performed miracles, of which approximately forty are documented in the Gospels. The focus of today’s Gospel is on Jesus’ feeding the 5000 – actually, probably more like at least 10,000, if one accepts the count of the men present and then adds the women and children. This particular event is also told to us by Mark, Luke and John. It’s the only miracle recorded by all four evangelists. Today’s reading from Matthew actually records two miraculous actions by Jesus. We tend to treat the first, the curing of the sick among those gathered, almost as commonplace, because it happens so often in the Gospels, and tend to overlook it, as we focus on the loaves and fishes. As well, other miracles follow immediately afterward in Matthew’s narrative. Jesus walks on water and does more healing on the other side of the lake. Hmm, so what does all this talk of “miracles” mean to us? Certainly, to those present when they happened, they would have been most extraordinary and awe-inspiring, but what about for us? How do we view them. Did something truly miraculous really happen or are these just stories? If something happened, what was it? Did Jesus do something that for us would, even now, be impossible? Can we accept that Jesus could do such a thing? Many who have thought about Jesus’ miracles have tried to explain them in various ways, some taking the position that they are the same for us as would be the actions of a scientifically trained and equipped person to a stone-age primitive.

  • Knowing Christ Through Matthew — Part 4: the Sermon on The
    Knowing Christ through Matthew — Part 4: The Sermon on the Mount This is the fourth in a 12-part series of In Focuses dedicated to exploring some central themes and texts in the Gospel of Matthew. In the prologue to his Gospel, St. John teaches “because while the law was given through Moses, grace and truth came through Jesus Christ” (Jn 1:17). By itself, the contrast might sound dismissive, as though it were saying “Moses gave us a poor thing, but Jesus gave something wonderful!” This sort of understanding has not infrequently characterized Christians’ assessment of the Old Testament and of Judaism. But this is not what John means in the least. In the prior verse he tells us that “from [Jesus’] fullness, we have all received grace in place of grace.” Or better, “grace upon grace” (Jn 1:16). As Jesus himself says to the woman at the well, “salvation is from the Jews” (Jn 4:22), and as John is at pains to show throughout, Jesus is the fulfillment of what is celebrated in the Jewish festivals. Jesus, for instance, is the new Passover lamb who delivers us not from the slavery of Egypt but from the slavery of sin and death. “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world” (Jn 1:29). The contrast between Moses and Jesus is not adversative but complementary. Praise God for what was given through Moses; praise him all the more in Jesus Christ. 5 QUESTIONS TO CONSIDER • - ▪ According to the Gospels of John and Matthew, what is the relation between Moses and Jesus? ▪ How does the gift of the Law to Israel relate to the vocation of humanity spoken of in the first chapter of Genesis? ▪ Why is it that Jesus “cannot be anything but be the fulfillment of the Law for the Law”? ▪ What is the relationship between the sermon on the Mount and Jesus’ own life? ▪ What command is the center of the sermon? What is the rationale for this command? Fulfilling the Law St.
