— LAST SUNDAY'S SERMON —
This Sunday, we will begin our verse-by-verse study with Colossians 1:1-2. Come be encouraged as Paul points us to the central theme of Christ!
El desafío de Paul de NUNCA VOLVER A IR ALLÍ. No abrace las obras, la ley, la tradición, la ceremonia como un camino de salvación, confíe solo en Cristo por Gracia a través de la Fe. Mantente libre, nunca vuelvas a la esclavitud. Pablo es IMPRESIONANTE en estos versículos y dice cosas a las que incluso los cristianos sólidos reaccionan. Habla de los que se alejan de Cristo, de los que deciden salvarse a su manera. SIN EMBARGO TAMBIÉN celebra la singularidad de la vida en el Espíritu, donde confiamos en Cristo y vivimos una vida de amor por las obras.

Loving Your Husband (Moms By Grace – Feb 2015)
Teaching for young moms, taught by Danielle Price.
A Pressure You Will Never Experience (Mark 14:32-36)
In Mark 14:32 to 36, Christ is in the Garden of Gethsemane praying in agony. This is one of the most eye opening, Christ revealing, life changing and God-exalting passages in this gospel. You will see things, learn things, and be blown away by what this event exposes about our Lord. What He goes through in these verses is something only Christ will ever experience, but He does it for you.
Beware of Thinking You Can’t Mess Up (Mark 14:27-31)
The first sin in the world is the worst sin in the world and it shows its ugly face in Mark 14:27 to 31. The Lord is walking to the Garden of Gethsemane, and He informs His men that they are about to fall, fail, and freak out. They all are about to abandon Christ as He faces His greatest trial. Peter asserts he’s even willing to die for Christ, reminding all of us to beware of thinking we can’t mess up.
The Importance of Regular Remembering (Mark 14:22-26)
We return to Mark 14 and the very first Communion service. Here we’ll hear the Lord’s heart on the importance of remembering, see some Reformation controversy between Luther and Zwingli, be pushed to develop a lower view of ourselves and a higher view of God, be challenged to deal with unjust treatment, and hear the Gospel call us to be “one of the many.”
The Worship Scene (Revelation 4-5)
In this passage there are four essential characteristics to corporate worship which we need to understand and practice today in the church. God is a holy God and therefore we must be careful to worship Him appropriately. If we apply these four principles when we meet together for corporate worship, then we will be more genuine and more authentic in our public expressions of worship.
Heart Attitudes for the New Year (Colossians 3:12-17)
We’re taking a short break from Mark to get our hearts ready for this New Year. What attitudes should characterize your speech and actions as you live for Christ in 2015? We’ll be looking at how Paul answers this in Colossians 3:12 to 17. You’ll find encouragement, help and challenge to live out your identity in Christ.
Provoking Your Children (Moms By Grace – Jan 2015)
Teaching for young moms, taught by Sharon Verougstraete.
Love For and Shrewd Dealings With a Traitor (Mark 14:12-21)
As Christ continues to be led to the cross, this week Mark 14:12 to 21 exposes how to deal with a traitor. Some of us have dealt with a Judas in ministry, as a parent with a child, with a fellow employee or another student, an employer, a friend, or a disciple. In our passage this week, our Lord displayed incredible love toward Judas, this lowest of all betrayers–but He also demonstrated amazing shrewdness. Learn to dependently follow Christ’s example when someone close turns against you, and understand how to be loving and shrewd.
Heart Driven Devotion (Mark 14:1-11)
God is leading Christ to be crucified at 3 pm Friday, just when all the Passover lambs are being slaughtered, since Christ will be the final sufficient Lamb who takes away the sins of the world. In this message we look at 14:1-11 as the religious leaders and Judas begin their betrayal plans. In the middle of this passage is a lavish act of devotion, as Mary douses Christ with $80,000 worth of perfume in preparation for His death.
The People Who Get Christmas
The shepherds and the magi could not be more different from each other, and yet both groups “got” Christmas–they understood the significance of the birth of the baby in Bethlehem. Join us as we study their response to Christ’s birth and gain a deeper appreciation for ourselves as well.
Not Just the Birth of a Baby
This message is a shorter, pointed study of the coming of Christ, focusing on the Gospel, reminding everyone that Christmas is not just the birth of a baby–right? God became a man to rescue a helpless human race by doing the work needed to make us right with God. If we depend on Him alone to rescue us, then Jesus Christ will transform us by living inside us and through us.
Ready or Not, Here I Come (Mark 13:33-37)
In Mark 13 Jesus says, from now on all my followers are on watch–look for my coming. He is coming soon, and our Master wants us to be ready. He tells us in verses 33 to 37 what being ready means, so be prepared to follow His orders. He loves us and knows what is best, and part of that involves looking for Christ to come every single day. This message wraps up our study of the end times.
