Daily Dose of Hope May 19, 2025 Day 1 of Week 8 Scripture – Matthew 1 Prayer: Almighty God, We come before you on this Monday, as we start a new week, with both humility and gratefulness. You are so powerful, so holy, and so wise. We need you. We seek you. We are desperate to hear a word from you today, Lord. We also know that we have failed over and over again. Lord, forgive us for our sins, for the ways we fall short. In these next few moments of silence, Lord, hear our prayers...Jesus, help us stay focused on you and your Word today. In Your Name, Amen. Welcome back, everyone, to the Daily Dose of Hope, a Deep Dive into the Gospels and Acts. Today, we start the book of Matthew. While the author does not identify himself, most scholars agree it was written by Matthew the tax collector. He actually mentions himself a couple times in the Gospel. The events in the book take place in the first 40 or so years of the first century. It was actually written somewhere between 50 and 90AD. Let's keep in mind that all the Gospel accounts were passed down and taught orally for about 30-40 years before they were written down. Each Gospel author collected and arranged these accounts to highlight certain themes about Jesus. Mark, who we just finished, emphasized Jesus' authority. Matthew, on the other hand, very intentionally uses his Gospel to demonstrate the continuation and fulfillment of the whole Biblical story of God and the people of Israel. Thus, he emphasizes how Jesus is the Messiah in the line of David, and he focuses on how Jesus is Immanuel (which means in Hebrew, God with us.) Matthew 1 starts with a genealogy. Sometimes, our inclination is the brush over the genealogies, but this one is pretty unique. First, we can see the connection between the Old Testament and the birth of Jesus. As we read through the names on the list, we get a picture of God's history of redemption for his people. Abraham and David are highlights, as both were recipients of God's promises for the people of Israel, significant parts of redemptive history. Another reason I love this genealogy is that five women are specifically mentioned. This was at a time when women were basically never mentioned in the history of patriarchal societies. And here we are, five very unique and interesting women–Tamar (who was quite tricky to achieve her purpose), Rahab (at one point a prostitute), Ruth (a Moabite), Uriah's wife (Bathsheba), and Mary. The first four women were Gentiles or married to Gentiles, they were outsiders to a certain extent, and yet they had tenacious faith, the kind that would be critical for faith in Jesus. This focus on Tamar, Rahab, Ruth, and Bathsheba leads to the introduction of Mary. It's like the author is saying, “Don't discount Mary!” She may not be who you would expect to be the mother of the Savior of the world but God uses all kinds of people! God lifts up all kinds of women, those who are proper and those who aren't. What a beautiful reminder that the Gospel is for ALL. Then, we have Joseph's story. Joseph is probably the most underrated person in the Christmas story. He is like the father of the bride at the wedding. No one notices him yet he gets to help pay for the whole shin-dig. But Joseph is an example of faithful, unquestioning obedience in the middle of fearful, life-altering circumstances. Scripture says that Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph. Remember, Mary was a very young girl and was probably very poor. Joseph would have been older than her. We tend to think of Joseph as a carpenter but really it's more likely he was a general builder. He was from a kind of backwater, remote area of Palestine. He was probably illiterate (education was generally just for merchants and aristocrats at the time). Both Mary and Joseph were humble people from a very humble part of Israel. Scripture continues, "before they came together, it was found that Mary was pregnant by the power of the Holy Spirit." Joseph, being a righteous man, faithful to the law, didn't want her to be publicly disgraced so he had decided to divorce her quietly. At the time, when one became engaged, it was much more formal than it is today. Most likely, Joseph had made an agreement with Mary's father, perhaps years earlier, to take Mary as his wife. This would have been a binding agreement. In the eyes of the law, they were as good as married already, even though the relationship had not been consummated. Mary was found to be pregnant by the power of the Holy Spirit. Keep in mind that all Joseph knows at this time is that she is pregnant. His fiancé is pregnant and he knows the baby isn't his. We don't think much about Joseph's feelings. We focus a lot on Mary (and rightfully so) but Jospeh must have had all kinds of feelings too. The whole thing must have been crushing for him. He had hopes and dreams. My guess is that he was hurt and betrayed. Despite that, he doesn't fly into an angry rage or have a desire to hurt Mary even though this would have amounted to adultery in their culture. Joseph had compassion. He doesn't want to bring additional shame onto Mary if he can help it. Part of this could have been that Joseph was older than Mary. He might have known that a girl of that age didn't really have much control over her sexuality in that culture. Joseph is in a predicament. He wants to be faithful to the law, so he can no longer marry her, but yet he doesn't want to humiliate her either. So he decides to quietly divorce her, not make too much of a big deal about it. Regardless, Mary would face humiliation and be ostracized. That was the nature of the situation. But before Joseph breaks off the engagement, he goes home and goes to sleep. It's always good to sleep on big decisions. While he is sleeping, an angel of the Lord appears to him in a dream and says, “Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.” And here is the amazing thing. Scripture says that when he woke up, Joseph did what the angel told him and took Mary as his wife. If Joseph had doubts, they weren't recorded. If he made excuses, we certainly don't know about them. It appears he was simply obedient. It's worth mentioning that the angel tells Joseph not to be afraid to marry Mary because the baby she is carrying was conceived by the Holy Spirit. We know that Mary was risking a lot, but Joseph was also taking big risks here. He also will make some pretty significant sacrifices. People are generally pretty good at counting and they would know that the baby was conceived before they got married. He also faces being ostracized and being an outcast in his community. It was scary! What would their lives look like? What would their families do? What would become of them? Joseph models for us that we can be obedient in spite of fear. He did what was commanded of him, even when it was hard. Being obedient to God doesn't always look like we want it to look. Let's be real. We want being obedient to God to be a good job with a comfortable salary, a nice home, good schools for our kids, plenty of leisure time and fun activities, a fairly decent social standing, and occasional church attendance. For most of us, if we are honest, that's what we want obedience to God to look like the typical American dream. But we learn from Joseph is that obedience to God might not always make sense, it might not be popular, and it might not be comfortable. Obedience to God may also require sacrifice. In the case of Joseph, obedience may have cost him his reputation and his place in the community. We know that later it means he has to drop everything to go to Bethlehem for a census. Then, he has to go to Egypt to keep the baby safe from an evil king. This probably wasn't what Joseph envisioned for his young family. When God calls us to something, there are often things we have to give up. Joseph gave up stability and safety. Think about what God has called you to. Maybe God has called you to minister to someone and give up your time. Maybe God has called you to share your faith with your neighbor, coworker, or that person at the gym and risk rejection. Maybe God has called you to volunteer in a specific area or give sacrificially to a mission partner. Maybe God has called you to go back to school, change jobs, reconcile with an estranged friend or family member. Maybe God has called you to full-time ministry. However God has called you (and I can guarantee he has called you in some way), it typically involves some kind of sacrifice, discomfort, and hard work. Being obedient to God doesn't always look like we want it to look. The last thing I'll mention is that God calls us to obey even when we are fearful of the future. This is so hard but God calls us to obey through the fear. We trust that if God has called us to it, God will see us through it. What I've come to learn is that obedience and trust go hand in hand. Have a wonderful Monday. We will chat again tomorrow. Blessings, Pastor Vicki
An Easter Sunday sermon by Pastor Brett Deal. Have you ever noticed how each Gospel speaks from a unique vantage point? Matthew and Mark, Luke and John all speak from a distinct place in the story. Eyewitnesses have shared their personal experiences of being with Jesus. They take several others' testimonies of Thursday's washing and communion, of Friday's execution, of Saturday's traumatic silence. Each Gospel arrives at the dawn of the next day. This Sunday we will take up Luke's account (Luke 24.1-12) as we gather to celebrate Easter, but for today, let's take heed to Matthew's telling of the empty tomb (Matthew 28.1-10). His witness begins at first light, as Mary and others arrive at the tomb. The earth shakes, the stone is dislodged, and the Roman soldiers collapse stunned! Into the women's understandable terror, an angel proclaims Christ is risen from the dead! He has gone to Galilee, and there “you will see Him!” These women give us a perfectly recognizable response! They were “afraid and yet filled with great joy.” Who hasn't felt that strange combination of emotions?! Bursting exhilaration cloaked in fear. Great anticipation tempered by anxiety. These disciples watched their teacher thrashed and mocked and nailed bleeding to a torturous cross. They witnessed the stuff of nightmares, the kinds of violence that make us fight the darkness of sleep. They've been traumatized by the violence of Friday and the silence of Saturday. They are experiencing real fear. Easter morning, their fear is not ignored or denied. It isn't minimized or mocked. It's there, like the heavy clouds of dawn dissipating in the light of day. The clouds are still there, but the rising sun is pushing the gray to silvered edges by irrepressible joy. They are still afraid, but the sense of gladness and joy is breaking through! Walking through Holy Week, knowing that Easter is coming, don't be afraid to feel. Don't try to hide your fears, anxieties, afflictions, or pains. Bring the gray clouds of your experience through sorrow and grief to the empty tomb where we witness the good news together!
This Lent, ponder the themes of justice, poverty, freedom, and love. The four New Testament Gospels aren't the same story, but they offer the same Resurrection hope. Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John devote most of their story detailing Jesus' last week in Jerusalem, all highlighting Jesus' triumphant entry into the city, the suffering and humiliation of the cross, and the empty tomb come Sunday morning, but the stories they tell aren't quite the same. Each Gospel offers a different lens through which we understand Jesus' Passion. One portrait reveals Jesus to be in control, while another emphasizes his suffering. In one story Jesus offers hope to the thief on the cross, and in another Jesus only receives derision. These different perspectives aren't a reason to dismiss the Gospels; rather they reveal an abundant, diverse, and complementary picture of God's work in the suffering, death, and resurrection of Jesus. Buy Matt's book here. For more on the 2025 Annual Conference, head here.
The story of the resurrection appears in each of the Gospels. Each Gospel writer presents the story from a different perspective, but they all contain the core concepts that appear also in 1 Corinthians 15:1–8.
Welcome to episode 167! We continue our summer series on biblical genres. Today, we will discuss the first four books in the New Testament: the Gospels. You can also find these episodes on Spring Baptist Church's YouTube channel. Here is a link to this week's episode.Overview of the BooksThe Gospel of Matthew, written by a former tax collector, presents Jesus as the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies and the long-awaited King of the Jews. Mark's fast-paced account portrays Jesus as the Suffering Servant, emphasizing His miraculous deeds and the call to discipleship.Luke, a Gentile physician, offers a comprehensive and orderly account, highlighting Jesus' compassion for the marginalized and His teachings on the Kingdom of God. John's Gospel, written by the beloved disciple, unveils the profound truth of Jesus' divinity, inviting us into a deeply personal relationship with the eternal Word made flesh.Each Gospel has its unique perspective, yet together they form a cohesive and compelling narrative, unveiling the life-transforming message of the Messiah. Significance and ImpactThe Gospels hold immense significance for Christians, as they are the primary source of our knowledge and understanding of Jesus Christ. Through these accounts, we encounter the living embodiment of God's love, the One who came to seek and save the lost, and the ultimate sacrifice that opened the way to eternal life. The teachings of Jesus, recorded in the Gospels, challenge us to live lives of love, forgiveness, and service, just as He exemplified. His parables and miracles unveil the power of faith and the reality of the Kingdom of God breaking into our world.Moreover, the Gospels testify to the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies, affirming that Jesus is indeed the promised Messiah, the Son of God, and the Savior of the world. His death on the cross and His resurrection from the grave stand as the cornerstone of our faith, offering us the hope of eternal life and the promise of His return.Practical ApplicationsAs we study the Gospels, we are invited to walk in the footsteps of Jesus, to emulate His example of humility, compassion, and obedience to the Father's will. His teachings on prayer, forgiveness, and loving our neighbors challenge us to continually grow in our spiritual maturity and our relationships with others. The accounts of Jesus' interactions with individuals, from the wealthy to the outcasts, inspire us to extend grace and love to all people, regardless of their circumstances. His call to discipleship reminds us of the cost of following Him, but also the immeasurable joy and purpose found in surrendering our lives to His service. Furthermore, the Gospels encourage us to cultivate a deep and intimate relationship with Jesus, seeking to know Him not only as our Savior but also as our Lord, our friend, and our constant companion on the journey of faith.ConclusionThe Gospels stand as the heart of the Christian faith, offering us an unparalleled encounter with the Messiah, Jesus Christ. Through the eyewitness accounts of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, we are invited to experience the depth of God's love, the transformative power of Christ's teachings, and the eternal hope found in His death and resurrection. May these narratives inspire us to follow in the footsteps of our Savior, to live lives of love, forgiveness, and unwavering faith, and to share the good news of the Gospel with a world in desperate need of redemption.
Each Gospel writer takes great strides to share who Jesus is. Luke traces Jesus' roots back to Adam, the son of God.

What is the Gospel? Hey there, friends!
Welcome to the introductory episode of our podcast, Series Six Episode One on the Gospel of Mark: "Getting Ready to Serve" (Mark 1:1-13).IntroductionWelcome, friends, to our podcast series where we embark on a journey through the Gospel of Mark, exploring the life and ministry of Jesus Christ. Throughout this series, we aim to understand and apply the message of the Gospel, learning how we, as followers of Christ, can become more like Him and live as servants in our daily lives.The Purpose of the Christian LifeBefore we delve into the Gospel of Mark, let's ponder on the main purpose of the Christian life. It is evident that our ultimate goal is to be conformed to the image of Christ – to behave and think like Him in every situation. To achieve this, we must study the life of Jesus, as recorded in the four books of the Bible: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Each Gospel provides a unique perspective on Christ's life and ministry.Matthew portrays Jesus as the Messiah, the king of the Jews.Luke emphasizes Jesus as the Son of Man, fully identifying with humanity.John focuses on Jesus as the eternal Son of God.Through these Gospels, we gain different insights into the character of Christ and what it means to be like Him. As believers, we are called children of God, beneficiaries of His divine nature. While we cannot be perfect like Jesus, we can participate in the divine nature by trusting in Him.The Gospel of Mark: Jesus as a ServantIn the Gospel of Mark, Jesus is portrayed as a servant. In fact, Mark 10:45 clearly summarizes this perspective: "For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."To understand what it means to be like Jesus, we must take on the characteristics of a servant. As we study the life of Christ throughout this series, we will discover how Jesus exemplified servanthood, and in turn, learn how we can serve others.Episode Notes: Mark 1:1-13The Gospel of Mark begins with the introduction to the life and ministry of Jesus, highlighting three significant events:The Forerunner - John the BaptistThe opening verses in Mark serve as an introduction to the entire book, talking about John the Baptist as the forerunner of Jesus. John's role was to prepare the way for the Messiah, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins. Jesus, though sinless, chose to be baptized by John to fully identify with humanity and to fulfill all righteousness. His baptism was not for the forgiveness of sin but as an act of obedience to God's plan. Immediately after His baptism, Jesus faced temptation in the wilderness, resisting Satan's temptations for forty days. Jesus emerged victorious, demonstrating His commitment to God's will.Lessons for UsAs we examine Jesus' preparation for service,Support the showFurther Discipleship Training Courses Free at;linkedin.com/in/jeremy-mccandless-68353b16Podcast Archive also athttps://www.youtube.com/c/JeremyRMcCandlessThe LIFE Podcast - The Bible Project | FacebookMy Amazon Author Pageamazon.com/author/jeremymccandlessJeremy McCandless is creating podcasts and devotional resources | PatreonHelp us continue making great content for listeners everywhere.https://thebibleproject.buzzsprout.com
April 25: Saint Mark, Evangelist c. First Century Feast; Liturgical Color: Red Patron Saint of lions, lawyers, Venice, interpreters, and prisoners He chronicled what the first Pope witnessed John's Gospel offers the reader this brief post-Resurrection scene: “Simon Peter said to them, ‘I am going fishing.' They said to him, ‘We will go with you.' They went out and got into the boat…” (Jn 21:3). The flock followed where Peter led. How easily Saint Peter moves to the fore in the Acts of the Apostles. How effortlessly he speaks for the entire Community of Faith. Saint Peter even leaves the running of the Church in Jerusalem to Saint James to show that he is not bound to one city or community. Instead, Peter walks toward the widest horizon of evangelization, the capital of the world—Rome. Traitor Peter becomes Pope Peter. Peter was, of course, a simple fisherman. It is more interesting to note that he did not remain a simple fisherman. He grew. He matured. He led. And leaders don't have followers as much as joiners. Saint Mark, whom we commemorate today, was one of the most significant of the many joiners who uprooted themselves to join Peter in his dangerous adventure of founding the Church. Nothing is known for certain of Mark's origins or his youth. He is not mentioned in the Gospel that bears his name and only the faintest biographical sketch is possible. What is known is that Mark left his homeland in Palestine to follow first Saint Paul, and later, Saint Peter. Mark sailed dangerous seas in primitive boats. He walked long stretches through desolate lands. He tried to convince hardened pagans and skeptical Romans that the Gospel message was true. The words of the Acts of the Apostles, the letters of Saint Paul, and the First Letter of Saint Peter all put dots on the large map of Mark's life. Many blank spaces, however, still lay in between. Mark is traveling with Paul in Asia Minor, then he's with Barnabas on a boat over here, then he's with someone else over there, and then he disappears for a number of years. The scattered evidence ends, however, with clear testimony that Mark joined Peter in Rome. In Peter's first letter, written from the city of his death to the Church in Asia Minor, Pope Peter sends greetings on Mark's behalf and refers to him as “my son”(1 Pt 5:13). Saint Mark is, of course, best known as the author of a Gospel. Like Saint Luke and Saint Paul, he was not one of the Twelve Apostles and so likely never met Jesus Christ in person. Scholars believe that the Gospel of Saint Mark relates the experiences of Saint Peter, Mark's mentor. Each Gospel has its own unique sources, emphases, and audiences. Mark writes for non-Jews who would be impressed by Christ's miracles more than His fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies. So in Mark's Gospel are found certain colorful details that suggest the writer was relating the words of an eye-witness. For example, in Mark 5:41 Jesus enters the home of Jairus, a synagogue leader whose daughter lay dead. Christ says to her, “Talitha koum.” Mark then tells the reader what “Talitha koum” means, presumably because his readers did not speak Aramaic. No other Gospel includes this touching detail of the untranslated words coming from the mouth of Christ that day. Mark also places other Aramaic words on Christ's lips: “Ephphatha,” “Abba,” and “Hosanna.” Peter was there when it happened. Peter heard the Lord speak. And Peter was getting old, in prison, or threatened with death. The Gospel he had repeated verbally so many thousands of times had to be written down to send to others, to preserve its accuracy, or to contradict counterfeit versions. And so the natural progression from oral to written history slowly occurred. The Gospel was spoken before it was a book, and the word has primacy over the book. Saint Mark the Evangelist preserved for all time the Word of God, Jesus Christ, by committing Peter's words to writing, thus ensuring that the eye-witness accounts of Christ's life did not just float away in the breeze. Once the Word was enshrined on papyrus, Saint Mark had accomplished his mission forever and always. Saint Mark, you were a friend of the Apostles and shared their commitment to spreading the faith. From your home in Heaven, may you strengthen all those who lack the courage to live the Gospel message in their own lives so they can witness it to others.
Mary is standing at the foot of the cross. We can only imagine how her mother’s heart suffered to see Jesus beaten severely and bleeding profusely. He was forced to carry His own crossbeam until Roman soldiers seized Simon of Cyrene and ordered him to help. The destination was “Calvary,” on a public roadway near Jerusalem. On either side of Jesus, a criminal was crucified. The inscription over His head, intended as mockery, read “Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews” (v. 19). Written in three languages, the inadvertent testimony of truth would be read by thousands of Jews, passing by for the Passover. Matthew, Mark, and Luke each recorded that many women followed Jesus to the cross, mourning and wailing (Luke 23:27). John listed only a specific four: Mary His mother, His mother’s sister, Mary wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene (v. 25). John noted his own presence as “the disciple whom He loved” (v. 26). Each Gospel writer documented certain final words of Jesus. But only John recounted this final act of familial love: When Jesus looked down and saw Mary’s sorrow, He said, “Woman [using the respectful address again], here is your son” (v. 26). Speaking to John, He said, “Here is your mother” (v. 27). Jesus’ brothers had abandoned Him (7:1–5). Joseph had likely died. Mary had supported Jesus throughout His ministry and to this traumatic end, but she was about to be left alone. Jesus was telling John to care for her as his own. “From that time on, [John] took her into his home” (v. 27). Knowing that all things had been accomplished and Scripture had been fulfilled, He requested a drink. When He received the sour wine, He said, “It is finished!” and gave up His spirit. >> As we encounter the cross through Mary’s eyes—the person who probably loved Him most—we can feel the pain He endured in palpable ways. We grieve, yet not without hope.

The Death Of Our Lord Jesus ChristReader: Kathryn MartinDate: 3rd April 2022Passage: John 19:18-------------------All the Gospels tell us about the death of our Lord Jesus Christ. Each Gospel mentions different details about the crucifixion but all of them want us to know very definitely that Jesus was put to death — the terrible, agonising death of crucifixion which followed a fearsome beating before he even got to the place of execution.Why were the Gospel writers so determined that we should know that Jesus Christ was crucified and died? The real death of Jesus was necessary if there was to be a real resurrection of Jesus. The death of Jesus was the final act of his great work as the Saviour of sinful people. "God put the wrong on him who never did anything wrong, so we could be put right with God." (2 Corinthians 5:21) Mocked by insults harsh and crude, In my place condemned he stood; Sealed my pardon with his blood; Hallelujah! What a Saviour!And when the Lord Jesus was lifted up on the cross his final words were "It is finished" — the great work of salvation which he had come to do was complete as Jesus died.But that was not the end of the story. Three days later Jesus rose from the grave, and so it is that now we worship and adore a living Saviour. What joy this gives us!

Date: 02.09.2020 At our ‘drive-in inspire' Fernando Moura led us in communion and Kathy Moura shared the message, “The Great I Am” We are in unusual times. What is your "I am"? What do you see in others? Each Gospel sees Jesus differently. Who is the great I Am of the Bible? The bread of life, come the Him. The light of the world. And much more, each with a purpose. It all takes us to a beginning. Do you have the connection? Can you say "God, I look to you" Passages: John 8: 12, 15: 5 Please send prayer requests to prayer@bridgeman.org.au or on our website: https://www.bridgeman.org.au/prayer/ To contact Bridgeman Baptist Community Church please email hello@bridgeman.org.au If you would like to give at Bridgeman Baptist Community Church please go to https://www.bridgeman.org.au/giving/

"_God put the wrong on him who never did anything wrong, so we could be put right with God._" (2 Corinthians 5:21) > Mocked by insults harsh and crude, > In my place condemned he stood; > Sealed my pardon with his blood; > Hallelujah! What a Saviour! And when the Lord Jesus was lifted up on the cross his final words were "It is finished" — the great work of salvation which he had come to do was complete as Jesus died. But that was not the end of the story. Three days later Jesus rose from the grave, and so it is that now we worship and adore a living Saviour. What joy this gives us!
A sermon by the Rev. H. Paul Canady III Rector of Christ Church, New Bern, NC, on January 12, 2020 Feast of the Baptism of our Lord http://www.lectionarypage.net/YearA_RCL/Epiphany/AEpi1_RCL.html When Jesus was Baptized, God, through John, used a practice well known within the Jewish faith to do something new. God often does that: Takes what is known and familiar and uses that to do something new. Over the course of time, followers of Jesus have come to understand Baptism as both adoption into the family of God and a starting point for the ministry to which God has or will call us. The question is, how can we take what is well-known to the practice of our faith and let God use us to renew it, restore it, and leave it for generations of faithful that will come after us? THAT is a loaded paragraph. So let's unpack it a little. One of my favorite podcasts right now is called “You’re Wrong About.” It’s two people who take deep dives into headline grabbing events from American history and look at what the public story missed. They bring well-known incidents, like the OJ Simpson trial and the Tonya Harding/Nancy Kerrigan saga, back into the conversation in hopes that the listener will see it in a way that was most likely forgotten. The episodes aren’t short, but they are entertaining. And they are really revealing about the backstory that often went untold. One of the (I think) untended traits of the show is, after the chit-chat at the beginning, one of the hosts always says something along the lines of, “OK. So where to start with this story.” One of the pair has done all the research and presents it to their co-host, who then interjects their own memories of those incidents and asks clarifying questions. Their point in saying “where do we start” is that the back story that led to the headline events is always more complex than we realize. But knowing that backstory helps us see it all with new eyes. Every year in our church calendar, the Sunday after January 6, the Feast of the Epiphany, we celebrate the Baptism of Jesus. It’s one of several days our Book of Common Prayer says is a most appropriate day for Baptisms, which we will do at our 11:00am service today. The Baptism of Jesus is the launch of his public ministry. He didn’t really do that three weeks after he was born; it was more like 30 years. It’s one of the few events that is recorded in all four Gospels. Each Gospel has its own perspective on the event, and each one has a few details that are unique to that writer. But what they all have in common is that, at least according to these four authors, Jesus does nothing related to his mission and ministry until he his Baptized by his cousin John in the River Jordan. And like every good saga, there’s a good backstory and reasons why Jesus was Baptized, even as we proclaim that he lived a sinless life. See, Jesus and John had been hovering around the same circle for a while. And people were going to John for his fiery preaching and a chance to get to turn their lives. Maybe there was a hope they could oust the Roman occupiers if they could get right with God. Maybe they just liked being called a brood of vipers. Either way, there was something attractive and mesmerizing about this guy. While people were going to hear and see what John was doing, the Gospel writers also infer people were also hanging around Jesus, too. So when Jesus comes to John for Baptism and John protests and Jesus says, “it is to fulfill all righteousness,” and John says, “OK, I’ll Baptize you,” God in the person of Jesus is again becoming vulnerable to become more approachable and relatable. It’s a moment that maybe the people at the time, even John, didn’t necessarily recognize as one that would change the course of history, the course of the geo-political world, and certainly the course of religion. Baptism wasn’t something new or unique to John. Ritual washing had been a part of Jewish practice for nearly a thousand years by the time John comes on the scene. It was most often used for one of a dozen or more ways one might be unclean to enter the Temple or the synagogue. Sometimes, it was as simple as washing hands or feet or another part. Other times called for immersion of the whole body into the water. The sins and offenses John preached against called for that full immersion not merely to be forgiven of sins, but to wash away the impurities of the corrupt world. This devotion to John the Baptists’ teachings still exist in an ethnoreligious group called the Mandaeans, who thrived in Iraq, Syria, and other parts of the Middle East. In Jesus’ Baptism, God takes what was already there, what already was a well-known part of the faith, and God renewed, refreshed, and reinvigorated its meaning. God used this moment not as a simple act of purifying, because Jesus didn’t need purifying, but God used it as a chance for humanity to see how God is doing something new. And in the course of reflecting on Jesus’ life and ministry, we have learned to see Baptism as the starting point for our own ministry and work as well as being formally marked as Christ’s own forever. It was quite intentional to choose today, the Feast of the Baptism of our Lord, to launch the congregational phase of the Sacred Sound & Space Campaign. If Baptism is the starting point for our ministry and work in God’s name, then the Baptism of Jesus is a great moment for us, a people empowered by God, to take what is familiar and known and loved and begin to renew it for the generations after us. And as we renew this space, we will renew ourselves and our faith community as well. We started that part in December with the Advent devotion books. We continue it with the Sharing Our Faith series on Wednesday nights, and we will have another program in Lent. We are grateful that gifts have already come in to help us start in the process, that the balcony has already been reinforced to be able to safely accommodate a new organ, and we have been able to seriously explore enhancements to the lighting and lighting system. Baptism is our starting point for ministry. We don’t all live into that ministry at the same speed or rhythm. Nor should we. The important part is that we work together to build up the Kingdom of God. This campaign isn’t about all of us giving the same amount or trying to out do someone else. It’s about renewing this space that, for generations before us, has been a powerful reminder of God’s love and grace, a space that has been a part of personal and family milestone, and a place where countless people have heard the Holy Spirit’s invitation to go and be the hands, feet, and voice of Jesus in the world. It’s about making sure it will continue to be all those things and more for generations after us. In the same way that Baptism binds us to Jesus, we envision this campaign binding us closer together as followers of Jesus, that our success isn’t seen just in dollars raised and projects completed, but in deepening relationships across the parish. The podcast “You’re Wrong About” looks back to tell us what we missed at that moment in history. In this moment in the history of Christ Episcopal Church, New Bern, NC, I want people to look back and remember how we grew together, worked together, gave together. Our three goals for this campaign are to raise the funds we need, to strengthen our individual faith, and to strengthen our community, and to do all those things together, arm-in-arm. To keep us mindful of that call, I invite you to stand and join in singing “They’ll know we are Christians.” You should find a copy of the words in the pew rack in front of you.
In the first sermon in the series “Who Do People Say That I Am?” Rev. Tom Are preaches about the many names attributed to Jesus: “Immanuel,” “Savior,” “Son of God,” even “Christ.” Each Gospel writer identifies Jesus, but they do so a little differently from one another. In this sermon, Rev. Are examines how Mark describes Jesus. Mark 1:9-13.Support the show (https://www.villagepres.org/giving.html)

A 30,000ft look at the first four books of the New Testament. Tips on how to study the Gospels: 1) Each Gospel account stands alone. 2) Each Gospel was written from the view point of its author with a specific audience in mind. The Gospel's Big Picture Significance comes in two ways: 1) The entire Old Testament pointed to Jesus. 2) Jesus lived, died, and rose again to save us and renew the world.
November 28, 2010 - Have you ever wondered why there are four Gospels? Each Gospel is different, but the reason we have four is that they each tell a different point of view of the same story. If we only had one Gospel, it would be like watching a football game filmed with only one camera. If you watch a football game today there are about a dozen cameras positioned all over the stadium – they even have that crazy motorized camera that follows a guide wire on the field. They are all filming the same game, but from different points of view. Each camera provides different details of the game but it’s still the same game. It’s the same with the Gospels. We're starting with Matthew and Matthew's point of view is that of Jesus the Righteous Teacher.
February 28, 2010 Retreat Into the Holy Matthew, Mark, Luke Scripture Reading Mark 1:35-39 The Synoptic Gospels Matthew, Mark, and Luke are called “synoptic” Gospels because they have the “same look” or focus on Jesus’ ministry in Galilee. None of the Gospel writers take a chronological approach to Jesus’ life. Instead, the Gospels are more topical, organized to provide a theological portrait of Jesus’ actions, teachings, and impact. Each Gospel targets a particular audience. Matthew’s Gospel is the Jewish Gospel. Mark centers on Jesus as Messiah and Son of God. Luke has more about social concerns than any other Gospel. Each Gospel is meant to be studied on its own. Each has unique perspectives and theological messages that supplement the others and challenge readers in important ways. God chose to inspire four different writers because each perspective is important for the church. All four Gospels tell the story of Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection. Retreat Into the Holy Matthew, Mark, Luke Sermon Synopsis: Our search for the holy in the pages of Scripture turns to the synoptic Gospels to examine Jesus’ Retreat Into The Holy. Point 1: Wilderness, Luke 4:1-13, 42-44 Not an Option Point 2: Transfiguration, Matthew 17:1-13 Place of Revelation & Focus Point 3: Garden of Gethsemane, Mark 14:32-42 Place of Strength & Surrender
