Pastor Andrew Coleman preaches from Mark 14: 1-11, focusing on the contrast between those who reject and those who accept Jesus. In this passage, we see the sovereignty of God in his entire plan to redeem His people. There are those who are blinded to true faith by false religion. There are those who have fake faith and are self-deceived. Yet we see the overriding grace and plan of God as He saves his true people. "For while we were still helpless, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly" (Romans 5:6). ________________________________________ Links to Sermon Notes & Answers: ➤Sermon Notes (Blank): https://www.sheridanhills.org/_files/ugd/30fec2_7077555f4cad4afaa445951c5c7695ff.pdf ➤Sermon Notes (Answers): https://www.sheridanhills.org/_files/ugd/30fec2_0fb626b5ec564415a617a08a9618e6f8.pdf ________________________________________ In this video: The Lamb of God About to Be Slain Main Points See the Overriding Grace and Plan of God For His True People ________________________________________ Subscribe to this channel to catch weekly expositional sermons from the Bible. ________________________________________ Explore more sermons and information: https://www.sheridanhills.org/watch-new ________________________________________ Follow us: ➤Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sheridanhills/ ➤Twitter: https://twitter.com/sheridanhills01 ➤Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sheridanhills/

"In the Wasteland" is our message series all about the stirrings of the Spirit - how we move from apathy to alive and awake in the Spirit. The wasteland is the place of clarity, repentance, contending, and renewal. The Holy Spirit does not just make things better - He makes dead things new. —— After listening to the message, share your answers to the following questions with a small group of people and encourage them to do the same. -What does this message say about God? About us? -What are areas of your life where you have given up and have stopped contending? -What are areas of your life where you continue to contend? A question for a time of prayer and reflection: -What is an area in my life where I have been contending but instead I should be waiting?

“Blessed Is The One Who Believes”12/8/19Luke 1:39-45Core Belief: Authority of the Bible I believe the Bible is the Word of God and has the right to command my belief and action.2 Timothy 3:16-17 16 All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.Scripture: Luke 1:39-4539 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.”The Message of this Passage:Most good stories– whether in history or fiction – start with a tragedy, with a threat, with something that has gone deeply wrong. And then comes the hero, the one (or ones) who will stand against the threat and try to restore balance and save the day.In the time of Christ, Herod was clearly the threat. He is a pretty good representative of corrupt leaders and the evil and corruption that threaten the people and world God created and loves so much then and now.At this point in the story we are usually introduced to the one who will stand against the evil threatening the world. So, the stage has been set for the conception of John, the wild-eyed prophet who will proclaim without fear or reservation the justice and judgment of God and the coming of God’s messiah. He will die by the hand of another Herod.And of course there is Jesus, who will also die but be raised again, declaring once and for all that the love of God is stronger than the hate of Herod and all like him, and that the life God gives is stronger than the death dealt out by evil of all kinds.Yes, John and Jesus will stand against Herod. But also notice that in this scene Luke describes for us the meeting of two of the main characters and heroines in this story.For in the gathering of these two equally improbable women– one too old to have a child, one still a virgin –we have a foretaste of God’s redemption.What do they do when they are together? They greet one another, comfort and rejoice with each other, and sing songs of love and justice. We will hear Mary’s song next week.But today we will look at Elizabeth’s song of faith and courage, as she is willing to believe not only that the Lord will grant her a child but that in the womb of her young cousin is the one who will redeem the world. She blesses Mary in her song, and she blesses herself, and she blesses us.This isn’t where we expect God to be at work – out in the hill country, among two women armed with nothing but love and song. But when God is on the move, He often is like that, showing up where we least expect God to be, granting mercy rather than punishment, and banishing fear not with strength but with love.So perhaps we should not be surprised that the love and songsthese two unlikely heroines share, will be, as it turns out,powerful enough to make the tyrants of this world shake with fear.That’s just the way God works when He is on the move.Answering Interpretive Questions:How would you define authentic joy? How is it different than happiness?Can you share about a time when you were joyful, even though you weren’t all that happy?Describe the setting of Luke 1:39-45 and what you think this experience meant to both women.What works of God does Mary mention in these verses?What contrasts or role reversals does Mary make in this passage? How do these reflect her feelings about God? About herself?Elizabeth knew Mary was going to be the “mother of my Lord”; how was that possible?Why do you think Mary went to see Elizabeth? Where would you go if the unbelievable happened to you?If you found yourself in Elizabeth’s shoes, how do you think you would have responded to Mary’s visit? Remember you are well past child bearing age and you are 6 months pregnant and your husband, who is a priest, is unable to speak.NOTES:

Everyone has an opinion. Many speak with such authority that you think they must have significant experience in the field. Some people get irritated by other people's opinions and eventually ignore all outside input. Others believe everything. There is no wisdom in either of these extremes. Therefore, you are in a dangerous position. You need to listen to what people say, and you also need to know whose advice to reject. How do you cross a 12-lane highway of dangerous ideas without being impacted by wrong and deceptive ideas- A lot of people are like crawling babies who put anything into their mouths. To acknowledge that you don't know as much as you think you do, is a good start to discernment. A fear of being deceived is also wisdom. Wise people ask for help. That's why Jesus warns His disciples to watch out for the Scribes. Everybody wants to tell us who to listen to. But the Bible provides guidelines against bad counsel. What is it saying about God- About you- About your problems- About where to get information- Beware of people who want to look great themselves. Beware of people who use religion as a cover-up for their greed. Be serious about this because there are real and eternal consequences to what you believe.

How we think about the Gospel affects everything else. It affects the way we think about God. It affects the way we relate to others. It affects our leadership.What does the Gospel we believe tell us about God? About ourselves? What does the Gospel tell us about the world? What role does guilt and shame play in our understanding of the Gospel? How do forgiveness and grace fit into the Gospel we believe in? What does the Gospel say is my responsibility in regard to my relationship with God? Is the Gospel about God saving us out of the world for our sake? Or is it about being saved into the world for its sake?In this episode, Geoff Hsu, Executive Director of Flourish San Diego, helps us explore what the Gospel is and what it means for the way we live.THIS EPISODE’S HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE:The gospel is good news not only because we are saved out of the world for our sake, but much more because we are saved into the world for its sake.A Four-Chapter Gospel allows us to be able to understand how our entire lives matter and how we can participate in God’s redemptive work.The four chapters of the Four-Chapter Gospel are: 1) Creation, 2) Fall, 3) Redemption, and 4) Restoration.The Two-Chapter Gospel only focuses on Fall and Redemption. It gives us a reason to be saved out of the world for our sake, but it doesn’t give us a reason to be saved into the world for its sake.Flourish San Diego wants to discover ways to engage culture in ways that are redemptive. Not reacting by fortifying ourselves against the culture, or trying to dominate the culture, or even by blending in and accommodating it.Geoff shares about his own transformation from thinking of the Gospel as two chapters to recognizing the Gospel as four chapters.Geoff noticed that he was helping people to act Christianly, but he was not actually helping them to become like Christ.The way Geoff knew he was learning to better understand the Gospel was in the way he was learning how to repent. In the past, when he sinned he would feel terribly guilty about it, as though he needed to beat himself up until he was worthy enough to come back into the Lord’s presence. But then he learned that he was already forgiven and it wasn’t up to him to decide when he was worthy enough to come back into God’s presence.Flourish San Diego commissioned a set of fine art photographs that capture the four chapters of the Gospel. Those photographs can be viewed and purchased HERE.

It fuels our self-righteousness.” “Raccoons get a bad rap. There's so much more to them then the rabies, garbage thing.” “At some point my life has to turn towards beauty and how good Jesus is.”

The Bible is very revealing about God's servants. Not only are their great exploits recorded, but their failings are also. Abraham, Moses, David, Peter, et al, failed at times. Some failed terribly. Yet God still used them to accomplish His purposes and even praised them for being righteous! What does this tell us about our God? About you and me?

Trust it for what? To tell us about God? About ourselves? Both? What should we do with the Scriptures?
