This Sunday we'll look at two more stories from Jesus' ministry, the feeding of the 5,000 and Jesus walking on water. They seem to be disconnected stories, but Mark links them together by highlighting the continued need for faith. The issue is that it's easy to believe in Jesus while everything is going well, but difficult when it's not. Jesus exposes our hardened hearts and calls us to a deep faith that secures us even when we're terrified out of our minds. Join us on Sunday at 10:30am!

John Vandervelde, Kelly Brady, & Matt Marron respond to questions from Kelly's sermon on Sunday Feb. 23, 2025.

The disciples' hearts were hardened, but not in such a way that they were rebelling against Jesus and His Word, but they did not consider the miracle of the loaves, that great miracle, and of how powerful Jesus was to feed the multitude!

Gospel of John / Blinded Eyes and Hardened Hearts / John 12:36-43 Fixed

Have you ever seen stubbornness lead to destruction? In Revelation 9:13-21, we encounter a vivid portrayal of humanity's unrepentant hearts, even in the face of God's terrifying judgment. This sobering passage reveals three profound truths: the precision of God's judgment, the devastating power of sin, and the tragedy of hardened hearts. Join us as we explore how this passage calls us to humility, repentance, and faith in the Lamb who was slain. Be encouraged to reflect on your own heart and the mercy God offers to those who turn to Him.

Fr. Mike reflects on Stephen's heroic martyrdom and points out how those around him refused to hear him and hardened their hearts, something we too can do with the Word of God. In the book of Romans, Fr. Mike also highlights the importance of offering our bodies as a living sacrifice, responding to the call to love and to not be conformed to this world, and remembering that Christians have been grafted onto the tree of Israel. Today we read Acts 7, Romans 11-12, and Proverbs 27:13-14. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear.

In this weeks episode, Pastors Kyle and Blake discuss the following: 2:18 into episode Listening to your AER from #356 when you are discussing prayer and worship. I often find myself praying and calling out to God during the worship at living springs. Sometimes I do that audibly, other times internally. Is that something that could be encouraged during worship to help people lean into prayer further. Often in my own devotion times I find that I start by singing, it helps me focus on God, and then begin to pray with more passion and volume when there is music in the background. In prayer meetings I find it too quiet to pray out loud, so maybe that is a bad habit I have formed.15:22 into episode In Daniel 9:27, The Message translation indicates that “worship and prayers” will be abolished by the deceiver, yet in other translations say that the deliver will “put an end to sacrifice and offering”. These are very opposed, considering it was Jesus who put an end to sacrifice. Which is it, and why? Thank youThroughout the New Testament there are references to people's hearts becoming hardened, sometimes Jesus uses this phrase to describe those who don't understand the meaning behind his parables. But at other times there are references about people whose hearts had become hardened, or it might say, “Don't let you heart become hard” what does this mean? How can we keep our hearts soft(?) or open to Jesus?38:37 into episode  I find the passage of james 1: 5-8 scary. what kind of wisdom is it talking about when it says you must believe when you pray? it tells me not to doubt when I pray, but the truth is, I have a lot of doubt when I pray.Do you have a question you've been wanting answered?

n this homily, Fr. Michael explores Jesus' teaching on marriage, reflecting on why Christ renews the covenant of marriage and calls us to a deeper fidelity. He explains that while Moses permitted divorce because of the hardness of people's hearts, Jesus invites us to embrace a new heart—one transformed by grace and committed to the permanence of marital love. With this renewed heart in Christ, we are called to live the original vision of marriage: a lifelong, faithful, and loving covenant that reflects God's love for His people.

The Peril of Hardened Hearts             ( Hebrews 3)

Does God harden people's hearts and then judge them for having hard hearts? It may appear like God did exactly that with Pharaoh, but there is always more to the story.

Jason brings us another message from the Gospel of John, "Blind Eyes and Hardened Hearts".

This is what the Lord says to the people of Judah and Jerusalem: “Plow up the hard ground of your hearts! Do not waste your good seed among thorns” Jeremiah 4:3 NLT   The sacrifice you desire is a broken spirit. You will not reject a broken and repentant heart, O God. Psalms 51:17 NLT   So God created human beings in his own image. In the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. Genesis 1:27 NLT   Put on your new nature, created to be like God—truly righteous and holy. Ephesians 4:24 NLT   When you produce much fruit, you are my true disciples. This brings great glory to my Father. John15:8 NLT   Fruit-bearing in character is a prerequisite to fruit-bearing in spiritual influence upon others.   When the ground soaks up the falling rain and bears a good crop for the farmer, it has God's blessing. But if a field bears thorns and thistles, it is useless. The farmer will soon condemn that field and burn it. Hebrews 6:7-8 NLT   Fallow Ground has a hard surface.   Fallow Ground has overgrowth   Fallow Ground invites the Trampling of Traffic   Sow for yourselves righteousness; Reap in mercy; Break up your fallow ground, For it is time to seek the Lord, Till He comes and rains righteousness on you. Hosea 10:12 NKJV   Two things we must do to break up our fallow hearts.   1. Humble ourselves before God and confess our Sins   “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.” So humble yourselves under the mighty power of God, and at the right time he will lift you up in honor. 1 Peter 5:5-6 NLT   let us cleanse ourselves from everything that can defile our body or spirit. And let us work toward complete holiness because we fear God. 2 Corinthians 7:1 NLT   “Holiness is not human life brought up to the highest possible development, but is Divine Life brought down to the lowest possible level of condescension.” Stuart Holden   Pride must be broken or it will break you!   Pride tells you that you can quit doing what you've always done even though it got you to success.   Have mercy on me, O God, because of your unfailing love. Because of your great compassion, blot out the stain of my sins. Wash me clean from my guilt. Purify me from my sin. For I recognize my rebellion; it haunts me day and night. Against you, and you alone, have I sinned; I have done what is evil in your sight. Create in me a clean heart, O God.  Renew a loyal spirit within me. Do not banish me from your presence,  and don't take your Holy Spirit from me. Psalms 51:1-4;10-11 NLT   2. There must be an abhorrence of the sin in your life.   Then Jacob made this vow: “If God will indeed be with me and protect me on this journey, and if he will provide me with food and clothing, and if I return safely to my father's home, then the Lord will certainly be my God. Genesis 28:20-21 NLT   When the man saw that he would not win the match, he touched Jacob's hip and wrenched it out of its socket. Genesis 32:25 NLT   “ The experiences of men who walked with God in olden times agreed to teach that the Lord cannot fully bless a man until he has first conquered him. the degree of blessing enjoyed by any man will correspond exactly with the completeness of God's victory over him.”  A W Tozer
