Everlasting to Everlasting (Psalm 90)
There is nothing that defines us more clearly than what we think about God, and the attribute of God’s eternality is one that is foundational to all His other attributes. God is infinite with respect to time, and the more that we understand this difficult topic, the better we can understand ourselves and the eternal relationship we will have with Him someday.
A Serious Warning to the Religious (Mark 12:38-44)
In this final message from Mark 12, Jesus warns the people to watch out for false teachers, religious leaders who were only motivated by their own pride and greed. They even defrauded the widows of Israel, the very people who needed the most protection. This warning is just as relevant today as there are still many false teachers who lead people astray. Learn what the Bible says about how to identify false teachers and avoid them.
Who Do You Say He Is? (Mark 12:35-37)
We continue in Mark 12, but this time Jesus turns the tables on the spiritual leaders of Israel and asks them a question. As our Lord does, He dramatically proves His deity. He clearly points out to them that He, Jesus, is God in the flesh—the Lord of all. It is an amazing moment, and one you will not want to miss as we equip you to speak to those without Christ, and fuel your worship for Christ as your God.
The Necessary Quality of All True Christians (Mark 12:28-34)
As Christians, God’s wholehearted love toward us must never be returned with a halfhearted love on our part. Jesus will teach us about the Greatest Commandment of love–love to Him and love to others, commanding us to love Him with our entire being . . . to be all in.
You can physically LIVE AGAIN after you DIE (Mark 12:18-27)
Are you looking forward to Heaven—specifically, being face to face with Christ? Do you realize everything that was flawed here will be perfected there? Your body will be glorious, grown to its eternal potential. Mark 12:18 to 27 exposes some of our future realities as Jesus talks about the coming resurrection.
Politics, Taxes and Government (Mark 12:13-17)
Our Lord Jesus is once again attacked by the Sanhedrin, but this time by the Pharisees and Herodians together! They test Christ with a question about taxes, again attempting to get Him to say something that would get Him in trouble with Rome or rejected by the populace. In His brilliant answer, the Lord also teaches us about life on Earth under a government, under unrighteousness, under injustice, and worse. He tells us how we Christians are to behave. Listen to God’s Word on this controversial topic.
The Hard Reactions of the Religious Lost (Mark 12:1-12)
The series on Religious Dangers begins with the parable of the vineyard, where Christ exposes the hearts of the religious leaders in their desire to kill the Old Testament prophets and to kill God the Son. Through their hard reactions to Christ, you will be impacted by the patience of God, desire to speak God’s Word and not your own opinion, produce fruit, and even think through the coming judgment of God.
Theophobia : The Fear of God (1 Peter)
Christians sometimes argue whether it is right to fear God. Aren’t we commanded to love Him with all our heart and with all our soul and with all our might? (Deut. 6:5) Yet, two chapters later, God commands that we fear Him. So, what does it mean to fear God? How should a fear of God affect our daily relationships and choices? See what the book of 1 Peter has to teach us.
Who Gave You the Right? (Mark 11:27-33)
As Christ returns to the temple the day after cleansing it, the Jewish leaders attack Him, “Who do you think you are? By what authority are you doing these things?” In this sermon, we will study Jesus’ brilliant response which exposes their malicious intentions, and learn what Christ’s authority means for our lives as believers today.
The God Who Knows You (Psalm 139)
Psalm 139 is a familiar and much loved psalm, but there is a message that is often missed in studying this passage. Though there is much comfort in God’s presence and knowledge of us, the depth to which He knows and understands us can be unsettling. Discover how the psalmist responds as he contemplates God’s attributes of omniscience and omnipresence.
The Compassion of God (Book of Jonah)
The theme of the book of Jonah reflects one of the greatest themes found throughout all of Scripture – the compassion of God. God used an unlikely prophet to show his mercy to the pagan city of Ninevah. Jonah showed no compassion for the Ninevites, yet God used his waywardness to bring the great city to repentance and taught Jonah a lesson we all need to learn about showing God’s mercy to others.
Motivations for Dependent Prayer (Mark 11:20-26)
Jesus, now days away from his death, resurrection and ascension, when His men will no longer have Him physically around to meet all their needs, begins to equip His men to meet their needs while He is in Heaven, by teaching them about dependent prayer.
