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 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 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. (Gospel Mark 10:1-16) ESV

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

Sunday Sermon Message:  Yes we can live lives to bring the glory of God and that’s what it’s for. It’s not so that we can have salvation but because we have it already. and it’s by the grace of God and we call him Jesus Christ that we have salvation. So we can have it in our hearts and know that when our day comes we can joyfully say yes by the grace of God eternal life is mine. Yes I know that in my secular common every day life I have fallen short. I did not deserve the grace that I have received but God loved me so much that He sent His only son into the world so that we may have life eternal in Christ Jesus.

(Gospel Mark 7:1-13) Traditions and Commandments  ¹Now when the Pharisees gathered to him, with some of the scribes who had come from Jerusalem, ² they saw that some of his disciples ate with hands that were defiled, that is, unwashed. ³ (For the Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat unless they wash their hands properly, holding to the tradition of the elders, ⁴ and when they come from the marketplace, they do not eat unless they wash. And there are many other traditions that they observe, such as the washing of cups and pots and copper vessels and dining couches.) ⁵ And the Pharisees and the scribes asked him, “Why do your disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat with defiled hands?” ⁶ And he said to them, “Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written, “ ‘This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me; ⁷  in vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’ ⁸ You leave the commandment of God and hold to the tradition of men.” ⁹ And he said to them, “You have a fine way of rejecting the commandment of God in order to establish your tradition! ¹⁰ For Moses said, ‘Honor your father and your mother’; and, ‘Whoever reviles father or mother must surely die.’ ¹¹ But you say, ‘If a man tells his father or his mother, “Whatever you would have gained from me is Corban” ’ (that is, given to God)— ¹² then you no longer permit him to do anything for his father or mother, ¹³ thus making void the word of God by your tradition that you have handed down. And many such things you do.” (Gospel Mark 7:1-13) ESV

Sunday Sermon Message: And it is in Christ Jesus, Him and Him alone, that there is salvation, not by the good deeds, not by our moral lives, but by the blood of the Lamb and the flesh that He gives us, and that we receive what we call communion. And we are saved so that we can bring them good news to others. That is Christ Jesus in His Holiness. Receive Him today in all ways and know that you have eternal life in Christ Jesus.

(Gospel John 6:51-59) I Am the Bread of Life ⁵¹ I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. And the bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh.” ⁵² The Jews then disputed among themselves, saying, ⁱ“How can this man give us his flesh to eat?” ⁵³ So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. ⁵⁴ Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day. ⁵⁵ For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. ⁵⁶ Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him. ⁵⁷ As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so whoever feeds on me, he also will live because of me. ⁵⁸This is the bread that came down from heaven, not like the bread the fathers ate, and died. Whoever feeds on this bread will live forever.” ⁵⁹ Jesus said these things in the synagogue, as he taught at Capernaum. The Words of Eternal Life ⁶⁰ When many of his disciples heard it, they said, “This is a hard saying; who can listen to it?” ⁶¹ But Jesus, knowing in himself that his disciples were grumbling about this, said to them, “Do you take offense at this? ⁶² Then what if you were to see the Son of Man ascending to where he was before? ⁶³ It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh is no help at all. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life. ⁶⁴ But there are some of you who do not believe.” (For Jesus knew from the beginning who those were who did not believe, and who it was who would betray him.) ⁶⁵ And he said, “This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless it is granted him by the Father.” ⁶⁶ After this many of his disciples turned back and no longer walked with him. ⁶⁷ So Jesus said to the twelve, “Do you want to go away as well?” ⁶⁸ Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life, ⁶⁹ and we have believed, and have come to know, that you are the Holy One of God.” ⁷⁰ (Gospel John 6:51-69) ESV

Sunday Sermon Message: The very words Paul is writing about how we should be, letting out the bitterness, being forgiving, being loving, and being caring. He’s given us an idea of how to live so that we can be imitators of God, so that we can bring the good news of what Christ has done, not so that we can receive salvation, but because we have salvation.  It’s not something that you’re waiting for, but it is already here, and it will just continue for all eternity in Christ Jesus.

(Gospel John 6:35-51) ³⁵ Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst. ³⁶ But I said to you that you have seen me and yet do not believe. ³⁷ All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never cast out. ³⁸ For I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will but the will of him who sent me. ³⁹ And this is the will of him who sent me, that I should lose nothing of all that he has given me, but raise it up on the last day. ⁴⁰ For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who looks on the Son and believes in him should have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.” ⁴¹ So the Jews grumbled about him, because he said, “I am the bread that came down from heaven.” ⁴² They said, “Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How does he now say, ‘I have come down from heaven’?” ⁴³ Jesus answered them, “Do not grumble among yourselves. ⁴⁴ No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him. And I will raise him up on the last day. ⁴⁵ It is written in the Prophets, ‘And they will all be taught by God.’ Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to me— ⁴⁶ not that anyone has seen the Father except he who is from God; he has seen the Father. ⁴⁷ Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes has eternal life. ⁴⁸ I am the bread of life. ⁴⁹ Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died. ⁵⁰ This is the bread that comes down from heaven, so that one may eat of it and not die. ⁵¹ I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. And the bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh.” (Gospel John 6:35-51) ESV

Sunday Sermon Message: What Christ Jesus wants us to do is to believe in Him, not so much what He can do for us, but what He has done for us.  And that is, He came into the world so that we may have eternal life. He gave His life and He promised us that we too were baptized into a death like His and therefore we were baptized into a resurrection like His. And let us believe that each and every moment of our lives in Christ Jesus

(Gospel John 6:22-35) I Am the Bread of Life ²² On the next day the crowd that remained on the other side of the sea saw that there had been only one boat there, and that Jesus had not entered the boat with his disciples, but that his disciples had gone away alone. ²³ Other boats from Tiberias came near the place where they had eaten the bread after the Lord had given thanks. ²⁴ So when the crowd saw that Jesus was not there, nor his disciples, they themselves got into the boats and went to Capernaum, seeking Jesus. ²⁵ When they found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him, “Rabbi, when did you come here?” ²⁶ Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, you are seeking me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate your fill of the loaves. ²⁷Do not work for the food that perishes, but for the food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you. For on him God the Father has set his seal.” ²⁸ Then they said to him, “What must we do, to be doing the works of God?” ²⁹ Jesus answered them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent.” ³⁰ So they said to him, “Then what sign do you do, that we may see and believe you? What work do you perform? ³¹ Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written, ‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’ ” ³² Jesus then said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, it was not Moses who gave you the bread from heaven, but my Father gives you the true bread from heaven. ³³ For the bread of God is he who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.” ³⁴ They said to him, “Sir, give us this bread always.” ³⁵ Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst.

Sunday Sermon Message: If you’re thinking that you’ve trying to live a life of righteousness so that you can gain God’s grace. My dear friends, you’re going to fail every time. You are saved by the grace of God NOT because of your deeds and your works but because what Jesus Christ has done and HIM alone.

(Gospel Mark 6:45-56) Jesus Walks on the Water ⁴⁵ Immediately he made his disciples get into the boat and go before him to the other side, to Bethsaida, while he dismissed the crowd. ⁴⁶ And after he had taken leave of them, he went up on the mountain to pray. ⁴⁷ And when evening came, the boat was out on the sea, and he was alone on the land. ⁴⁸ And he saw that they were making headway painfully, for the wind was against them. And about the fourth watch of the night he came to them, walking on the sea. He meant to pass by them, ⁴⁹ but when they saw him walking on the sea they thought it was a ghost, and cried out, ⁵⁰ for they all saw him and were terrified. But immediately he spoke to them and said, “Take heart; it is I. Do not be afraid.” ⁵¹ And he got into the boat with them, and the wind ceased. And they were utterly astounded, ⁵² for they did not understand about the loaves, but their hearts were hardened. Jesus Heals the Sick in Gennesaret ⁵³ When they had crossed over, they came to land at Gennesaret and moored to the shore. ⁵⁴ And when they got out of the boat, the people immediately recognized him ⁵⁵ and ran about the whole region and began to bring the sick people on their beds to wherever they heard he was. ⁵⁶ And wherever he came, in villages, cities, or countryside, they laid the sick in the marketplaces and implored him that they might touch even the fringe of his garment. And as many as touched it were made well. (Gospel Mark 6:345-56) ESV

Sunday Sermon Message: Jesus walks with people through the shadow of death. He prepares a feast table of Holy Communion even with enemies lined up against us. He anoints us with the healing power of fragrant oil so the acridness of our fear of life is overcome. He beckons us to follow him each day to the glory of his Father in heaven and in service to others in the world. He gives focus to our lives, peace in our hearts, and faith that we are his forever. May the peace and the Lord be with you always.

(Gospel Mark 6:30-44) Jesus Feeds the Five Thousand ³⁰ The apostles returned to Jesus and told him all that they had done and taught. ³¹ And he said to them, “Come away by yourselves to a desolate place and rest a while.” For many were coming and going, and they had no leisure even to eat. ³² And they went away in the boat to a desolate place by themselves. ³³ Now many saw them going and recognized them, and they ran there on foot from all the towns and got there ahead of them. ³⁴ When he went ashore he saw a great crowd, and he had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. And he began to teach them many things. ³⁵ And when it grew late, his disciples came to him and said, “This is a desolate place, and the hour is now late. ³⁶ Send them away to go into the surrounding countryside and villages and buy themselves something to eat.” ³⁷ But he answered them, “You give them something to eat.” And they said to him, “Shall we go and buy two hundred denarii⁶ worth of bread and give it to them to eat?” ³⁸ And he said to them, “How many loaves do you have? Go and see.” And when they had found out, they said, “Five, and two fish.” ³⁹ Then he commanded them all to sit down in groups on the green grass. ⁴⁰ So they sat down in groups, by hundreds and by fifties. ⁴¹ And taking the five loaves and the two fish, he looked up to heaven and said a blessing and broke the loaves and gave them to the disciples to set before the people. And he divided the two fish among them all. ⁴² And they all ate and were satisfied. ⁴³ And they took up twelve baskets full of broken pieces and of the fish. ⁴⁴ And those who ate the loaves were five thousand men. (Gospel Mark 6:30-44) ESV

Sunday Sermon Message: The reality is, being faithful to God does not exclude you from any of the harms that come in this world. Today’s gospel is trying to prepare us for that. There will be the times of healing. There will be the times that maybe even the dead rise, or seem to be in the sense that they were healed miraculously. But the reality is too, the storms will come and they’re not going to go the way that we will want them to go. But it isn’t because we haven’t got the faith, and it isn’t because God has abandoned us, but He is with us always.

(Gospel Mark 6:14-29) The Death of John the Baptist ¹⁴ King Herod heard of it, for Jesus’ name had become known. Some said, “John the Baptist has been raised from the dead. That is why these miraculous powers are at work in him.” ¹⁵ But others said, “He is Elijah.” And others said, “He is a prophet, like one of the prophets of old.” ¹⁶ But when Herod heard of it, he said, “John, whom I beheaded, has been raised.” ¹⁷ For it was Herod who had sent and seized John and bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife, because he had married her. ¹⁸ For John had been saying to Herod, “It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife.” ¹⁹ And Herodias had a grudge against him and wanted to put him to death. But she could not, ²⁰ for Herod feared John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and he kept him safe. When he heard him, he was greatly perplexed, and yet he heard him gladly. ²¹ But an opportunity came when Herod on his birthday gave a banquet for his nobles and military commanders and the leading men of Galilee. ²² For when Herodias’s daughter came in and danced, she pleased Herod and his guests. And the king said to the girl, “Ask me for whatever you wish, and I will give it to you.” ²³ And he vowed to her, “Whatever you ask me, I will give you, up to half of my kingdom.” ²⁴ And she went out and said to her mother, “For what should I ask?” And she said, “The head of John the Baptist.” ²⁵ And she came in immediately with haste to the king and asked, saying, “I want you to give me at once the head of John the Baptist on a platter.” ²⁶ And the king was exceedingly sorry, but because of his oaths and his guests he did not want to break his word to her. ²⁷ And immediately the king sent an executioner with orders to bring John’s head. He went and beheaded him in the prison ²⁸ and brought his head on a platter and gave it to the girl, and the girl gave it to her mother. ²⁹ When his disciples heard of it, they came and took his body and laid it in a tomb. (Gospel Mark 6:14-29) ESV

Sunday Sermon Message: Remember that each and every moment of your life. The authority of Jesus Christ, the one who was there in the creation of the heavens and the earth, and all that dwell within Him. Now that is some authority, folks. That’s a lot of authority. Be blessed, and that you are baptized in Christ Jesus, and you have received everlasting life in Christ Jesus. And now go out and be a part of the church, not only being healed, but to send that message to others, so that they too may receive the forgiveness of sins and the resurrection of life. The everlasting life that Christ brought into the world.

(Gospel Mark 6:1-13) Jesus Rejected at Nazareth 6 He (Jesus) went away from there and came to ^chis hometown, and his disciples followed him. ² And on the Sabbath he began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard him were astonished, saying, “Where did this man get these things? What is the wisdom given to him? How are such mighty works done by his hands? ³ Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary and brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon? And are not his sisters here with us?” And they took offense at him. ⁴ And Jesus said to them, ^j“A prophet is not without honor, except in his hometown and among his relatives and in his own household.” ⁵ And he could do no mighty work there, except that he laid his hands on a few sick people and healed them. ⁶ And he marveled because of their unbelief. And he went about among the villages teaching. Jesus Sends Out the Twelve Apostles ⁷ And he called the twelve and began to send them out two by two, and gave them authority over the unclean spirits. ⁸ He charged them to take nothing for their journey except a staff—no bread, no bag, no money in their belts— ⁹ but to wear sandals and not put on two tunics. ¹⁰ And he said to them, “Whenever you enter a house, stay there until you depart from there. ¹¹ And if any place will not receive you and they will not listen to you, when you leave, shake off the dust that is on your feet as a testimony against them.” ¹² So they went out and proclaimed that people should repent. ¹³ And they cast out many demons and anointed with oil many who were sick and healed them. (Gospel Mark 6:1-13) ESV

Sunday Sermon Message: Let us rejoice and say thank you, Jesus. Now give me the patience and show me the power. the way to bring the good news to them and not just turn around and discuss and walk away, but to love them as they are in hopes that the touch of Jesus Christ will heal them and make them whole.

(Gospel Mark 5:21-43) Jesus Heals a Woman and Jairus’s Daughter ²¹ And when Jesus had crossed again in the boat to the other side, a great crowd gathered about him, and he was beside the sea. ²² Then came one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name, and seeing him, he fell at his feet ²³ and implored him earnestly, saying, “My little daughter is at the point of death. Come and lay your hands on her, so that she may be made well and live.” ²⁴ And he went with him. And a great crowd followed him and thronged about him. ²⁵ And there was a woman who had had a discharge of blood for twelve years, ²⁶ and who had suffered much under many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was no better but rather grew worse. ²⁷ She had heard the reports about Jesus and came up behind him in the crowd and touched his garment. ²⁸ For she said, “If I touch even his garments, I will be made well.” ²⁹ And immediately the flow of blood dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of her disease. ³⁰ And Jesus, perceiving in himself that power had gone out from him, immediately turned about in the crowd and said, “Who touched my garments?” ³¹ And his disciples said to him, “You see the crowd pressing around you, and yet you say, ‘Who touched me?’ ” ³² And he looked around to see who had done it. ³³ But the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came in fear and trembling and fell down before him and told him the whole truth. ³⁴ And he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace, and be healed of your disease.” ³⁵ While he was still speaking, there came from the ruler’s house some who said, “Your daughter is dead. Why trouble the Teacher any further?” ³⁶ But overhearing what they said, Jesus said to the ruler of the synagogue, “Do not fear, only believe.” ³⁷ And he allowed no one to follow him except Peter and James and John the brother of James. ³⁸ They came to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and Jesus saw a commotion, people weeping and wailing loudly. ³⁹ And when he had entered, he said to them, “Why are you making a commotion and weeping? The child is not dead but sleeping.” ⁴⁰ And they laughed at him. But he put them all outside and took the child’s father and mother and those who were with him and went in where the child was. ⁴¹ Taking her by the hand he said to her, “Talitha cumi,” which means, “Little girl, I say to you, arise.” ⁴² And immediately the girl got up and began walking (for she was twelve years of age), and they were immediately overcome with amazement. ⁴³ And he strictly charged them that no one should know this, and told them to give her something to eat. (Gospel Mark 5:21-43) ESV

Sunday Sermon Message: Christ will stick with you and hold you together. He will give you the strength to get through the storm. But that doesn’t mean he’s going to make the storm go away. Regardless of how the storm may be or what it may do to you, there is life on the other side. He will be waiting there for you and welcome you. That’s the joy of knowing who Jesus Christ is, Lord and Savior. The one, that when he speaks, even the winds and the waves will hear and obey. Keep your faith in him and him alone, and know that even though the storms are coming he is with you always, Christ Jesus.

(Gospel Mark 4:35-41) Jesus Calms a Storm ³⁵ On that day, when evening had come, he said to them, “Let us go across to the other side.” ³⁶ And leaving the crowd, they took him with them in the boat, just as he was. And other boats were with him. ³⁷ And a great windstorm arose, and the waves were breaking into the boat, so that the boat was already filling. ³⁸ But he was in the stern, asleep on the cushion. And they woke him and said to him, “Teacher, do you not care that we are perishing?” ³⁹ And he awoke and rebuked the wind and said to the sea, “Peace! Be still!” And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. ⁴⁰ He said to them, “Why are you so afraid? Have you still no faith?” ⁴¹ And they were filled with great fear and said to one another, ^s“Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?” (Gospel Mark 4:35-41) ESV

Sunday Sermon Message: If we decide to use revenge as a way to get even and to bring peace and comfort because of what something or someone has done to us I can assure you that’s a wrong decision. That might be a human but that’s not what Christ wants you to do.  What he really wants you to do is to surrender to him and let him deal with it and that the Holy Spirit brings that sense of peace and comfort and rest because he’s the only one that can do it. So as Christians, revenge is evil. It might be momentary that we like the idea, but the reality, it is still sinful. Doesn’t scripture says vengeance is mine, saith the Lord? It doesn’t say vengeance is ours. We leave it to Him and we rest in Him and Him alone. We do have consequences of our decisions. May that decision be that we truly put our salvation in Christ Jesus. Not what we have done, not what others have done, haven’t done, or left undone, but in Him and Him alone, in Christ Jesus.

(Gospel Mark 3:20-35) The Twelve Apostles ²⁰ Then he went home, and the crowd gathered again, so that they could not even eat. ²¹ And when his family heard it, they went out to seize him, for they were saying, “He is out of his mind.” Blasphemy Against the Holy Spirit ²² And the scribes who came down from Jerusalem were saying, “He is possessed by Beelzebul,” and “by the prince of demons he casts out the demons.” ²³ And he called them to him and said to them in parables, “How can Satan cast out Satan? ²⁴ If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. ²⁵ And if a house is divided against itself, that house will not be able to stand. ²⁶ And if Satan has risen up against himself and is divided, he cannot stand, but is coming to an end. ²⁷ But no one can enter a strong man’s house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man. Then indeed he may plunder his house.

²⁸ “Truly, I say to you, all sins will be forgiven the children of man, and whatever blasphemies they utter, ²⁹ but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin”— ³⁰ for they were saying, “He has an unclean spirit.” (Gospel Mark 3:20-35) ESV

Jesus’ Mother and Brothers

^31 qAnd his mother and his ^rbrothers came, and standing outside they sent to him and called him. ³² And a crowd was sitting around him, and they said to him, “Your mother and your brothers³ are outside, seeking you.” ³³ And he answered them, “Who are my mother and my brothers?” ³⁴ And ^slooking about at those who sat around him, he said, “Here are my mother and my brothers! ^35 tFor whoever ^udoes the will of God, he is my brother and sister and mother.”
