Sunday Sermon Message: As part of the church, our job is to magnify the Lord Jesus Christ .The good news of the gospel is that even though we fail and we sin, we are forgiven. Because we live in the sense of the fact that Jesus Christ came into the world and He forgave our sins, each and every day we are forgiven. But we still have a responsibility to live a life, to Magnify the very one who came into the world so that everyone can have eternal life. And that, my dear friends, is why we celebrate, Jesus Christ, Lord and Savior of all.

(Gospel Luke 1:39-56) Mary Visits Elizabeth ³⁹ In those days Mary arose and went with haste into the hill country, to a town in Judah, ⁴⁰ and she entered the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth. ⁴¹ And when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, the baby leaped in her womb. And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit, ⁴² and she exclaimed with a loud cry, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb! ⁴³ And why is this granted to me that the mother of my Lord should come to me? ⁴⁴ For behold, when the sound of your greeting came to my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy. ⁴⁵ And blessed is she who believed that there would be a fulfillment of what was spoken to her from the Lord.” Mary’s Song of Praise: The Magnificat ⁴⁶ And Mary said, “My soul magnifies the Lord, ⁴⁷  and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, ⁴⁸  for he has looked on the humble estate of his servant. For behold, from now on all generations will call me blessed; ⁴⁹  for he who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is his name. ⁵⁰ And his mercy is for those who fear him from generation to generation. ⁵¹He has shown strength with his arm; he has scattered the proud in the thoughts of their hearts; ⁵² he has brought down the mighty from their thrones and exalted those of humble estate; ⁵³  he has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich he has sent away empty. ⁵⁴  He has helped his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy, ⁵⁵  as he spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to his offspring forever.” ⁵⁶ And Mary remained with her about three months and returned to her home. (Gospel Luke 1:39-56) ESV

Sunday Sermon Message: God forgives us.  Reality is you are a sinner.  Are you good enough to receive the grace of God?  Absolutely not.  But if you were to die today, would you go to heaven?  Yes, by the grace of God, by the very blood of Jesus Christ.  And that’s the only way.  And so when you look at death in the eye, and you start worrying, have I been good enough, that’s the devil talking. Because the answer is, even Martin Luther said, yes, I know that I have failed, but I also know that my God prevails, and my forgiveness is in Christ and Him alone.

(Gospel Luke 3:1-20) John the Baptist Prepares the Way ¹In the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of the region of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene, ² during the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John the son of Zechariah in the wilderness. ³ And he went into all the region around the Jordan, proclaiming a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins. ⁴ As it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, “The voice of one crying in the wilderness: ‘Prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. ⁵ Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be made low, and the crooked shall become straight, and the rough places shall become level ways, ⁶ and all flesh shall see the salvation of God.’ ” ⁷ He said therefore to the crowds that came out to be baptized by him, “You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come? ⁸ Bear fruits in keeping with repentance. And do not begin to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ For I tell you, God is able from these stones to raise up children for Abraham. ⁹ Even now the axe is laid to the root of the trees. Every tree therefore that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.” ¹⁰ And the crowds asked him, “What then shall we do?” ¹¹ And he answered them, “Whoever has two tunics is to share with him who has none, and whoever has food is to do likewise.” ¹² Tax collectors also came to be baptized and said to him, “Teacher, what shall we do?” ¹³ And he said to them, “Collect no more than you are authorized to do.” ¹⁴ Soldiers also asked him, “And we, what shall we do?” And he said to them, “Do not extort money from anyone by threats or by false accusation, and be content with your wages.” ¹⁵ As the people were in expectation, and all were questioning in their hearts concerning John, whether he might be the Christ, ¹⁶ John answered them all, saying, “I baptize you with water, but he who is mightier than I is coming, the strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. ¹⁷ His winnowing fork is in his hand, to clear his threshing floor and to gather the wheat into his barn, but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire.” ¹⁸ So with many other exhortations he preached good news to the people. ¹⁹ But Herod the tetrarch, who had been reproved by him for Herodias, his brother’s wife, and for all the evil things that Herod had done, ²⁰ added this to them all, that he locked up John in prison. (Gospel Luke 3:1-20) ESV

Sunday Sermon – Dec 01

Sunday Sermon Message: The joy of Christmas that we celebrate is that Christ came into the world and he
gave us eternal life because he came. He gave his life and he rose from the dead and he promised that his words would never pass away. Keep that in your hearts as we celebrate this time, preparing again to celebrate the coming of Christ and to our lives and to this world and may we bring that good news to others so that they too may know him as Lord and Savior in Christ Jesus.

(Gospel Luke 21:25-36) The Coming of the Son of Man ²⁵ “And there will be signs in sun and moon and stars, and on the earth distress of nations in perplexity because of the roaring of the sea and the waves, ²⁶ people fainting with fear and with foreboding of what is coming on the world. For the powers of the heavens will be shaken. ²⁷ And then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. ²⁸ Now when these things begin to take place, straighten up and raise your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.” The Lesson of the Fig Tree ²⁹ And he told them a parable: “Look at the fig tree, and all the trees. ³⁰ As soon as they come out in leaf, you see for yourselves and know that the summer is already near. ³¹ So also, when you see these things taking place, you know that the kingdom of God is near. ³² Truly, I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all has taken place. ³³ Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away. Watch Yourselves ³⁴ “But watch yourselves lest your hearts be weighed down with dissipation and drunkenness and cares of this life, and that day come upon you suddenly like a trap. ³⁵ For it will come upon all who dwell on the face of the whole earth. ³⁶ But stay awake at all times, praying that you may have strength to escape all these things that are going to take place, and to stand before the Son of Man.” (Gospel Luke 21:25-36) ESV

Sunday Sermon – Nov 24

Sunday Sermon Message: I want us to understand that we are more unified than what you think we are. And the fact that we are liturgical keeps us in the unification. You’d be amazed how many Protestant and even Roman Catholic churches and Orthodox churches read the same scriptures on Sundays. If you’ve ever been to a Roman Catholic church, you would understand they have plagiarized the Lutheran service. Their service is so much like us. If you’ve been to an Episcopal service, you’d be amazed how much their services are like. You find out that we’re not so different and the one thing that always keeps us together is Christ the King. And that’s why I bring him up today in the celebration that we have. Because he is for them. And he is over his church. Regardless of the chaos and all the evil in the world, Christ is King. And he always will be. And with that, we have eternal life. And we can celebrate that. And we certainly celebrate it today with our brothers and sisters, whether we Roman Catholic or some of the Protestant, we have Christ, our King.

(Gospel Mark 13:24-37) The Coming of the Son of Man ²⁴ “But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, ²⁵ and the stars will be falling from heaven, and the powers in the heavens will be shaken. ²⁶ And then they will see the Son of Man coming in clouds with great power and glory. ²⁷ And then he will send out the angels and gather his elect from the four winds, from the ends of the earth to the ends of heaven. The Lesson of the Fig Tree ²⁸ “From the fig tree learn its lesson: as soon as its branch becomes tender and puts out its leaves, you know that summer is near. ²⁹ So also, when you see these things taking place, you know that he is near, at the very gates. ³⁰ Truly, I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place. ³¹ Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away. No One Knows That Day or Hour ³² “But concerning that day or that hour, no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, ^jnor the Son, but only the Father. ³³ Be on guard, keep awake. For you do not know when the time will come. ³⁴ It is like a man going on a journey, when he leaves home and puts his servants in charge, each with his work, and commands the doorkeeper to stay awake. ³⁵ Therefore stay awake—for you do not know when the master of the house will come, in the evening, or at midnight, or ^twhen the rooster crows, or in the morning— ³⁶ lest he come suddenly and ind you asleep. ³⁷ And what I say to you I say to all: Stay awake.” (Gospel Mark 13:24-37) ESV

Sunday Sermon Message:  We don’t need to figure out when the end of the world is going to be. That’s for God to take care of. But we do need to make sure as we follow through on the mission that he has sent us on. And that’s to be warriors. Warriors of Christ Jesus, bringing the good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ, that God loved us so much that he sent us his Son Jesus Christ to the world to give his life so that we may have eternal life, life abundant in Christ Jesus.

(Gospel Mark 13:1-13) Jesus Foretells Destruction of the Temple ¹As he came out of the temple, one of his disciples said to him, “Look, Teacher, what wonderful stones and what wonderful buildings!” ² And Jesus said to him, “Do you see these great buildings? There will not be left here one stone upon another that will not be thrown down.” Signs of the End of the Age ³ And as he sat on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately, ⁴ “Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign when all these things are about to be accomplished?” ⁵ And Jesus began to say to them, “See that no one leads you astray. ⁶ Many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am he!’ and they will lead many astray. ⁷ And when you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be alarmed. This must take place, but the end is not yet. ⁸ For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places; there will be famines. These are but the beginning of the birth pains. ⁹ “But be on your guard. For they will deliver you over to councils, and you will be beaten in synagogues, and you will stand before governors and kings for my sake, to bear witness before them. ¹⁰ And the gospel must first be proclaimed to all nations. ¹¹ And when they bring you to trial and deliver you over, do not be anxious beforehand what you are to say, but say whatever is given you in that hour, for it is not you who speak, but the Holy Spirit. ¹² And brother will deliver brother over to death, and the father his child, and children will rise against parents and have them put to death. ¹³ And you will be hated by all for my name’s sake. But the one who endures to the end will be saved. (Gospel Mark 13:1-13) ESV

Sunday Sermon Message:  Let me ask you this. What have you given in your life? Have you given out of the abundance or have you given out in your heart? The very things that we have in life are gifts. And God has asked us to be good stewards of it and not to hoard it and to keep it to ourselves. That is giving out of the abundance. Trusting God, I not saying that life won’t be hard and it won’t be hard times. But trust me. He loves us, and all is well because the battle has been won. It is finished. Let our trust be in him and him alone. In Christ Jesus.

(Gospel Mark 12:38-44) Beware of the Scribes ³⁸ And in his teaching he said, “Beware of the scribes, who like to walk around in long robes and like greetings in the marketplaces ³⁹ and have the best seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at feasts, ⁴⁰ who devour widows’ houses and for a pretense make long prayers. They will receive the greater condemnation.” The Widow’s Offering ⁴¹ And he sat down opposite the treasury and watched the people putting money into the offering box. Many rich people put in large sums. ⁴² And a poor widow came and put in two small copper coins, which make a penny. ⁴³ And he called his disciples to him and said to them, “Truly, I say to you, this poor widow has put in more than all those who are contributing to the offering box. ⁴⁴ For they all contributed out of their abundance, but she out of her poverty has put in everything she had, all she had to live on.” (Gospel Mark 12:38-44) ESV

Sunday Sermon Message:  Let us love our neighbor and let us be on a mission. A mission to bring the good news of Jesus Christ so the sainthood continues to grow. The church triumph will grow as well as the church militant, all because of the forgiveness assistance in Christ Jesus. May we receive him each and every moment of our lives and bring that good news to others. Let us love our neighbor and Christ Jesus.

(Gospel Matthew 5:1-12)The Sermon on the Mount ¹Seeing the crowds, he went up on the mountain, and when he sat down, his disciples came to him.The Beatitudes ² And he opened his mouth and taught them, saying: ³ “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. ⁴ “Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. ⁵ “Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth. ⁶ “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied. ⁷ “Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy. ⁸ “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God. ⁹ “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God. ¹⁰ “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. ¹¹ “Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. ¹² Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

Sunday Sermon – Oct 27

Sunday Sermon Message: The law can drive us to wherever it may be. And hopefully it takes us always to the cross. That’s the reality of the law. The law will always condemn you. The law should drive you to the cross. The law should drive you to your knees. If you ever become so comfortable, the fact that you feel like you no longer need the cross, because you have done well enough, that you are moral enough, that you are righteous enough you’re in trouble. You also know that God loves you, and He loves you so much, that He has clothed you in righteousness, and in that righteousness is everlasting life. Let us be on the mission to bring that news to everyone. Let us always know that we are always able to share the gospel, and that it is true in Christ Jesus.

(Gospel John 8:31-36) The Truth Will Set You Free ³¹ So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed him, “If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, ³² and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” ³³ They answered him, “We are offspring of Abraham and have never been enslaved to anyone. How is it that you say, ‘You will become free’?” ³⁴ Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who practices sin is a slave to sin. ³⁵The slave does not remain in the house forever; the son remains forever. ³⁶ So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed. (Gospel John 8:31-36) ESV

Sunday Sermon – Oct 13

Start AUDIO Link Below to listen to the Sunday Service Sermon Presented by Pastor Terry Bage.

Sunday Sermon Message: God is good and the truth of the reality is it doesn’t matter, or does matter that we live by the Ten Commandments. But that does not entitle us to everlasting life. Living good, moral lives, being good citizens, sharing what we have with others does not entitle us. Only Christ Himself is the way to everlasting life. And by that, when we follow Him, we will find it in our hearts that we will be more gracious and more forgiving and we would be more concerned for someone else and not just ourselves and what we have. Let us follow the way every day of our life so that others may know the way as well in Christ Jesus.

(Gospel Mark 10:17-31)The Rich Young Man ¹⁷ And as he was setting out on his journey, a man ran up and knelt before him and asked him, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” ¹⁸ And Jesus said to him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone. ¹⁹ You know the commandments: ‘Do not murder, Do not commit adultery, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Do not defraud, Honor your father and mother.’ ” ²⁰ And he said to him, “Teacher, all these I have kept from my youth.” ²¹ And Jesus, looking at him, loved him, and said to him, “You lack one thing: go, sell all that you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.” ²² Disheartened by the saying, he went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions. ²³ And Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, “How difficult it will be for those who have wealth to enter the kingdom of God!” ²⁴ And the disciples were amazed at his words. But Jesus said to them again, ⁱ“Children, how difficult it is to enter the kingdom of God! ²⁵ It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God.” ²⁶ And they were exceedingly astonished, and said to him, “Then who can be saved?” ²⁷ Jesus looked at them and said, “With man it is impossible, but not with God. For all things are possible with God.” ²⁸ Peter began to say to him, “See, we have left everything and followed you.” ²⁹ Jesus said, “Truly, I say to you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or lands, for my sake and for the gospel, ³⁰ who will not receive a hundredfold now in this time, houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and lands, with persecutions, and in the age to come eternal life. ³¹ But many who are first will be last, and the last first.” (Gospel Mark 10:17-31) ESV

Sunday Sermon Message: Remember that when a man and woman gets married, God created us to be one flesh and he wants us to put as much time, energy and thought into being married as we do when we work on all other tasks.  You are to know that one was created man and one was created woman and after marriage they became one flesh and that is God’s creation. Well many of us have the nature of a sinful nature and we try to just get by when we shouldn’t, but God forgives us and that’s when the gospel comes in.

(Gospel Mark 10:1-16) Teaching About Divorce ¹ And he left there and went to the region of Judea and beyond the Jordan, and crowds gathered to him again. And again, as was his custom, he taught them. ² And Pharisees came up and in order to test him asked, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?” ³ He answered them, “What did Moses command you?” ⁴ They said, “Moses allowed a man to write a certificate of divorce and to send her away.” ⁵ And Jesus said to them, “Because of your hardness of heart he wrote you this commandment. ⁶ But from the beginning of creation, ‘God made them male and female.’ ⁷ ‘Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, ⁸ and the two shall become one flesh.’ So they are no longer two but one flesh. ⁹ What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate.” ¹⁰ And in the house the disciples asked him again about this matter. ¹¹ And he said to them, “Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her, ¹² and if she divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery.” Let the Children Come to Me ¹³ And they were bringing children to him that he might touch them, and the disciples rebuked them. ¹⁴ But when Jesus saw it, he was indignant and said to them, “Let the children come to me; do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God. ¹⁵ Truly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it.” ¹⁶ And he took them in his arms and blessed them, laying his hands on them.

Sunday Sermon Message: We have a wonderful God, sometimes we fumble, but the beauty about it, our God forgives us. He strengthens us and he allows us to grow and to continue to be is the cycles here regardless of our faults. And we have to just realize that. We are not people that are faultless. We have faults and we fumble. And we don’t have to worry about our salvation because he is more than happy to save us and has saved us anyway. We are already living eternity. Well, my dear friends, it’s already started. Now it just continues on. Thank God for being a loving and forgiving God and allowing us to fumble and still to continue to be is the cycles in Christ Jesus,

(Gospel Mark 9:38-50) Anyone Not Against Us Is for Us ³⁸ John said to him, “Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, and we tried to stop him, because he was not following us.” ³⁹ But Jesus said, “Do not stop him, for no one who does a mighty work in my name will be able soon afterward to speak evil of me. ⁴⁰ For the one who is not against us is for us. ⁴¹ For truly, I say to you, whoever gives you a cup of water to drink because you belong to Christ will by no means lose his reward. Temptations to Sin ⁴² “Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him if a great millstone were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea. ⁴³ And if your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life crippled than with two hands to go to hell, to the unquenchable fire. ⁴⁵And if your foot causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life lame than with two feet to be thrown into hell. ⁴⁷ And if your eye causes you to sin, tear it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than with two eyes to be thrown into hell, ⁴⁸ ‘where their worm does not die and the fire is not quenched.’ ⁴⁹ For everyone will be salted with fire. ⁵⁰ Salt is good, but if the salt has lost its saltiness, how will you make it salty again? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another.” (Gospel Mark 9:38-50) ESV

Sunday Sermon Message: We are all to be servants for Jesus Christ. We shall be servants to one another, we shall be servants to the community, and I hope as we go that we can find more ways and be more servant because so often what we do is, in some form or fashion being servants

(Gospel Mark 9:30-37) Jesus Again Foretells Death, Resurrection ³⁰ They went on from there and passed through Galilee. And he did not want anyone to know, ³¹ for he was teaching his disciples, saying to them, “The Son of Man is going to be delivered into the hands of men, and they will kill him. And when he is killed, after three days he will rise.” ³² But they did not understand the saying, and were afraid to ask him. Who Is the Greatest? ³³ And they came to Capernaum. And when he was in the house he asked them, “What were you discussing on the way?” ³⁴ But they kept silent, for on the way they had argued with one another about who was the greatest. ³⁵ And he sat down and called the twelve. And he said to them, If anyone would be first, he must be last of all and servant of all.” ³⁶ And he took a child and put him in the midst of them, and taking him in his arms, he said to them, ³⁷ “Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me, and whoever receives me, receives not me but him who sent me.” (Gospel Mark 9:30-37) ESV

Sunday Sermon Message: Will we have failures in life? Absolutely. Should we still try to prepare for the times that come in our life? Absolutely.  And we need to rely on Christ because He is the source.  He is the source of all things and most of the life eternal.  So we know how we should live. Will we fail? No doubt.  We’ll never be perfect on this side.  But we are found perfect in the eyes of God by the blood of the Lamb and Him alone. Receive them mercy. We see the forgiveness and the assurance that life everlasting is yours by the blood of the Lamb.

(Gospel Mark 9:14-29) Jesus Heals a Boy with an Unclean Spirit ¹⁴ And when they came to the disciples, they saw a great crowd around them, and scribes arguing with them. ¹⁵ And immediately all the crowd, when they saw him, were greatly amazed and ran up to him and greeted him. ¹⁶ And he asked them, “What are you arguing about with them?” ¹⁷ And someone from the crowd answered him, “Teacher, I brought my son to you, for he has a spirit that makes him mute. ¹⁸ And whenever it seizes him, it throws him down, and he foams and grinds his teeth and becomes rigid. So I asked your disciples to cast it out, and they were not able.” ¹⁹ And he answered them, “O faithless generation, how long am I to be with you? How long am I to bear with you? Bring him to me.” ²⁰ And they brought the boy to him. And when the spirit saw him, immediately it convulsed the boy, and he fell on the ground and rolled about, foaming at the mouth. ²¹ And Jesus asked his father, “How long has this been happening to him?” And he said, “From childhood. ²² And it has often cast him into fire and into water, to destroy him. But f you can do anything, have compassion on us and help us.” ²³ And Jesus said to him, “ ‘If you can’! All things are possible for one who believes.” ²⁴ Immediately the father of the child cried out and said, “I believe; help my unbelief!” ²⁵ And when Jesus saw that a crowd came running together, he rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, “You mute and deaf spirit, I command you, come out of him and never enter him again.” ²⁶ And after crying out and convulsing him terribly, it came out, and the boy was like a corpse, so that most of them said, “He is dead.” ²⁷ But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him up, and he arose. ²⁸ And when he had entered the house, his disciples asked him privately, “Why could we not cast it out?” ²⁹ And he said to them, “This kind cannot be driven out by anything but prayer.” (Gospel Mark 7:24-37) ESV

Sunday Sermon Message: We need to realize that Jesus knows what our problem is and Jesus has taken care of it. It may not be just the way we wanted. It may not be the time that we wanted him to do it. But the reality is it is finished. And he is our Lord. And he brings healing whether we see it or not. In one form or fashion or way, he is with us. And he loves us. And we have everlasting life in Christ Jesus.

(Gospel Mark 7:24-37) The Syrophoenician Woman’s Faith ²⁴ And from there he arose and went away to the region of Tyre and Sidon. And he entered a house and did not want anyone to know, yet he could not be hidden. ²⁵ But immediately a woman whose little daughter had an unclean spirit heard of him and came and fell down at his feet. ²⁶ Now the woman was a Gentile, a Syrophoenician by birth. And she begged him to cast the demon out of her daughter. ²⁷ And he said to her, “Let the children be fed first, for it is not right to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs.” ²⁸ But she answered him, “Yes, Lord; yet even the dogs under the table eat the children’s crumbs.” ²⁹ And he said to her, “For this statement you may go your way; the demon has left your daughter.” ³⁰ And she went home and found the child lying in bed and the demon gone.

Jesus Heals a Deaf Man ³¹Then he returned from the region of Tyre and went through Sidon to the Sea of Galilee, in the region of the Decapolis. ³² And they brought to him a man who was deaf and had a speech impediment, and they begged him to lay his hand on him. ³³ And taking him aside from the crowd privately, he put his fingers into his ears, and after spitting touched his tongue. ³⁴ And looking up to heaven, he sighed and said to him, “Ephphatha,” that is, “Be opened.” ³⁵ And his ears were opened, his tongue was released, and he spoke plainly. ³⁶ And Jesus charged them to tell no one. But the more he charged them, the more zealously they proclaimed it. ³⁷ And they were astonished beyond measure, saying, “He has done all things well. He even makes the deaf hear and the mute speak.” (Gospel Mark 7:24-37) ESV

Sunday Sermon Message: The gospel says the salvation that you have, not the salvation that you will receive is important. So we need to live a life in the reality that we have salvation and that salvation came to us in the form of God and Christ Jesus. What he has done for us.  So don’t play with the rules, don’t play with all the rituals, or whatever thinking that they’re gonna save you because they won’t.  The law the rituals will always let you down but Christ will always give you life and only through him do we have eternal life through Christ Jesus always.

(Gospel Mark 14:1-23) What Defiles a Person ¹⁴ And he called the people to him again and said to them, “Hear me, all of you, and understand: ¹⁵ There is nothing outside a person that by going into him can defile him, but the things that come out of a person are what defile him.” ¹⁷ And when he had entered the house and left the people, his disciples asked him about the parable. ¹⁸ And he said to them, “Then are you also without understanding? Do you not see that whatever goes into a person from outside cannot defile him, ¹⁹ since it enters not his heart but his stomach, and is expelled?” (Thus he declared all foods clean.) ²⁰ And he said, ^l“What comes out of a person is what defiles him. ²¹ For from within, out of the heart of man, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, ²² coveting, wickedness, deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, pride, foolishness. ²³ All these evil things come from within, and they defile a person.” (Gospel Mark 7:14-23) ESV
