Jesus' Final Exam - Part 1 of 2

"When did you stop beating your wife?" Loaded questions are fun - when you're not on the receiving end of one, say in a courtroom or during a debate. The questioner has tried to conceal his false assumptions. He's sure he's caught you in his ingenious trap; he's already smirking as the question leaves his lips. The Sadducees thought they were going to humiliate Christ. But they would come to regret it pretty quickly. Here's Pastor Jim to open a sermon called, Jesus' Final Exam.

Good Mothering - Part 2 of 2

Jesus' neighbors in Nazareth knew Him in His human nature. But there was another nature in that boy. To the people who had watched Him grow up, it must have seemed like suddenly, "out of the blue" - and away from their sight - the Son of Mary had become someone else! He's a rabbi now? And a miracle-worker? Some say, a prophet? That skinny little kid we knew? Today we'll complete the sermon we started yesterday, called Good Mothering. Jim's reflecting on the opening verses of Mark, chapter 6.

Good Mothering - Part 1 of 2

"You're not all that and a bag of chips!" After enjoying some success in His ministry, Jesus returned home. And the reception in Nazareth was chilly. The general mood was, "Who does this guy think he is?" We know almost nothing about the Lord's boyhood years, but there's a clue here in Mark 6: When His neighbors saw Him grown up, they were not prepared to believe who He had become!

The Test Of Faith - Part 2 - Part 2 of 2

Your salvation is impossible! It wasn't just the Rich Young Ruler who couldn't save himself, with all his assets and acumen. It is everyone; it is us. We think that if we push that camel hard enough, maybe put him on a diet, and grease him down, he's got to fit through the eye of that needle. Nope, Jesus said, it will never happen. "With men it is impossible, but...." Pastor Jim's here to conclude his message, The Test of Faith, Part 2

The Test Of Faith - Part 2 - Part 1 of 2

"He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep, to gain that which he cannot lose." I opened with a quote from another Jim, the martyr Jim Elliot, to contrast the Christian view against the view of the Rich Young Ruler. Jesus gave him a business proposition, if you will; an offer that a man of commerce should have been able to appreciate. Let's check that story again, as we continue through the Gospel of Mark. Here's Pastor Jim.

The Test Of Faith - Part 1 - Part 2 of 2

The Rich Young Ruler settled for the consolation prize! On Friday we followed the story as Mark told us about this man who wanted eternal life... and Jesus wanted to give him eternal life... but he was going to have to drop his idol right there on the road. When the man walked away, the Lord had some words of instruction for His disciples... and they had some questions for Him! Here's Jim in Mark, Chapter 10.

The Test Of Faith - Part 1 - Part 1 of 2

A gilded cage is still a cage. Today we'll meet a man trapped by his money - or rather, by his love for it. Everyone had applauded him when he attained success and wealth and power. No one told him that his golden idol was made of fool's gold. No one but Jesus. Today and Monday we'll look at Mark's account of the Lord's meeting with the Rich Young Ruler. It's a reminder to all of us who may be tempted to put something other than Christ on the throne of our lives.

Meaningful Relationships - Part 2 of 2

We all want to *be* loved. How do we flip that around and become people who love? We'll find no help from the world if we want to learn compassion. The official story is that we're all just competitors in the great struggle for life. The ruthless rule; the chumps get run over. But deep down, we know that isn't true. We need someone like us - but not like us - to show us how it's done.

Meaningful Relationships - Part 1 of 2

Can I call you "friend?" Yesterday, in our study in the Gospel of Mark, we saw the hostility of the Jewish leaders toward Jesus. Today we'll hear from one Scribe who's different. He's listening. His question about commandments will spark our discussion about relationships, and the very nature of God. We'll see that restored fellowship - between God and man, and among human beings - is the whole point of Jesus' mission. Here's Jim to open a sermon called, Meaningful Relationships.

The Triumphal Entry - Part 2 of 2

A descendant of David... riding a colt into Jerusalem... crowds crying, "Hosanna!" This is the day everyone has been waiting for. Isn't it? The Triumphal Entry, as this event has been called, surely looked like the beginning of the Kingdom of God on earth. Well, what happened? Mark the Evangelist has brought us through the gates of Jerusalem, and into the Temple. Here's Part 2 of Jim's sermon.
