Have you ever wondered why God didn't just speak from heaven to everyone, or perform miracles on demand to prove Himself? In this sermon on the Transfiguration of Jesus Christ (Mark 9), we discover that the best kind of evidence isn't what most people expect. God gave us something even stronger than personal experiences or dazzling miracles—reliable testimony, eyewitness accounts, and His own voice from heaven saying, "This is my Son, whom I love. Listen to Him." Your attitude toward Jesus shapes the way you hear His words. In this message, we'll explore: * Why God's way of providing evidence is better than the way we imagine. * How the Transfiguration proves beyond doubt that Jesus is the Son of God.

My sermons are the fruit of nearly 30 years of pastoral ministry, biblical counseling, formal seminary training, and a lifelong passion for God's Word. Since childhood, I've been drawn to the beauty and power of expository preaching—opening Scripture verse by verse and applying it to real life. After graduating from Moody Bible Institute, I spent the next 27 years serving as a youth pastor, senior pastor, church planter, and host of the Food For Your Soul radio broadcast. Along the way, I also earned a Master of Sacred Literature and a Doctor of Religious Studies. For more content from D. Richard Ferguson, visit TreasuringGod.com.

Mark 13:24–37 presents Jesus' closing words in the Olivet Discourse, describing cosmic upheaval following the tribulation, the visible return of the Son of Man, the gathering of the elect, and a call to discern the signs like the fig tree. He warns that no one knows the exact day or hour, emphasizing constant alertness and readiness for His return.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/lets-talk-scripture/donations

Transformative Truth: Don't be afraid of what you'll suffer as a Christian. The Addressee of the Letter Revelation 2:8a The Attributes of the Lord Revelation 2:8b The Address to the Church Revelation 2:9-10 The Appeal to Each Person Revelation 2:11 “Whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake and the gospel's will save it. For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his soul? For what can a man give in return for his soul?” - Jesus Christ (Mark 8:35-37) It is possible to be a good church! A church that pleases Jesus will not be exempt from suffering. Jesus is worth dying for.
Hear Pastor Derrick preach the next passage in our study of the book of Mark! In this message, Derrick will wrap up chapter 11 and start Mark chapter 12.
“... so much American Christianity today comes packaged as inspirational uplift—sunlit, backlit, or candlelit. Furthermore, we are so accustomed to seeing the cross functioning as decoration that we can scarcely imagine it as an object of shame and scandal unless it is burned on someone's lawn. It requires a considerable effort of the imagination to enter into the first century world of the Roman Empire so as to understand the degree of offensiveness attached to crucifixion as a method of execution. ... There were many thousands of crucifixions in Roman times, but only the crucifixion of Jesus is remembered as having any significance at all, let alone world-transforming significance.”— Fleming Rutledge, The Crucifixion: Understanding the Death of Jesus Christ Mark 8:22-33

Join us as Pastor Seth Carter delivers a message titled "The Baptism of Jesus Christ" (Mark 1:9-11)
Join us as Pastor Seth Carter delivers a message titled "John the Baptist: The Faithful Forerunner of Jesus Christ" (Mark 1:1-8)
“In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth” (Gen. 1:1). Then, as “the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters” (Gen. 1:2), God spoke His Word: “‘Let there be light,' and there was light” (Gen. 1:3). In the same way “the beginning of the Gospel of Jesus Christ” (Mark 1:1) brings about the New Creation through the waters of Baptism by the same Word and Spirit of God. When John the Baptist came, “proclaiming a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins,” Jesus also came “and was baptized by John in the Jordan” (Mark 1:4, 9). Although He had no sins of His own, He took His stand with sinners in His Baptism and took the sins and mortality of the world upon Himself. He was baptized into His own death, by which the heavens are opened and the Spirit is given to us. God the Father is well-pleased with His beloved Son and raises Him from the dead. As we share His Baptism and are “united with Him in a death like His” (Rom. 6:5), we also share His resurrection unto “newness of life” (Rom. 6:4). ----- Trinity Lutheran Church, School and Child Care have been "Making Known the Love of Christ" in Sheboygan, Wisconsin and throughout the world since 1853 as a congregation gathering around God's Word and Sacraments to receive forgiveness and life everlasting. Trinity is located in downtown Sheboygan, only one block from the Mead Public Library and the Weill Center for the Performing Arts. We invite you to visit us in person!

June 18, 2023. Mark 1:1-8. Pastor Zach Vaughn. www.machiasvalley.org
When do you think Jesus is coming back? Inside of a year? Or hundreds of years? For literally two thousand years, people have been grappling with this same question. And any have claimed to have found the answers... But Jesus says take heed because we don't know, and can't know. So what do we do until then? In this episode, we dive in to the following texts to gain insight on how we can fruitfully wait for the final return of Jesus Christ: Mark 13:32-37 Luke 12:35-48 1 Thessalonians 4:11-18 2 Thessalonians 2:17 2 Thessalonians 3:6-15 Ephesians 2:8-10

The Good News of Jesus Christ Mark 16:1-8 Jesus was crucified for our sins, was buried and God raised Him from the dead so that whoever turns from their way and trusts in Him will be made right with God forever. The resurrection of Jesus is confirmation of Christianity, an expectation for the future and an invitation to a greater mission. Looking for past sermons? Visit: firstnaples.org/media
Jews fit the exact description of the antichrist. They deny the father and the son (1 John 2:22) They deny that the Christ has already come in the flesh (2 John 7) The Jews murdered the prophets. 1 Thes 2:14-15 The Jews murdered Jesus Christ. 1 Thes 2:14-15. The Jews rejected Moses John 5:46-47 Jesus Christ called Jews the devil's children (John 8:44) Jesus Christ called them liars, false Jews, and Satan's synagogue (Rev 2:9, Rev 3:9) Jesus Christ swore to remove the care of the vineyard from them and give it to a different ethnic group (Matthew 21:43) Converts to the Talmud, such as the Ashkenazic Jews, are twice the sons of hell as the original Pharisees (Matthew 23:15) The teachers of Judaism are Satans own seed (Gen 3:15 and Matthew 23:33) and will not avoid the damnation of hell. God's people are not called Jews; Isaiah prophesied that He would give his people a new name (Isaiah 62:2, Acts 11:26) Jesus Christ did not come to save the “Jews,” He came for the lost sheep of the house of Israel — do not conflate the two. Jesus Christ, the Chief Theological Officer of the Church, has the final say: Jews are “false Jews of the synagogue of Satan.” (Rev 2:9 and Rev 3:9) The Book of Esther describe Jews as godless, rootless, self-absorbed, hiding their identity as they weasel their way into power, claiming the to be victims when convenient and murdering others for no actual offense. The Jews, like the Whore of Babylon, are a false and fraudulent wife pretending to be what they are not. Like the whore, they spread blasphemy and arrogance and utter evil. Like their own father the devil (John 8:44) they are liars and spread their father's deception. As the Church is the body of Christ (1 Cor 12:27), so the Jews are Satan's synagogue (Rev 3:9, Rev 2:9). Jews bear the fruit of Satan with lies, deception and the utter evil of their Talmud. They worship Mammon and cannot serve God. What Jesus Christ rejected in His Temptation (the power and wealth of the world), the Jews took up — they worship Satan and are the devil's own children. (Rev 2:9, Rev 3:9, John 8:44) Christians wanting a “book of Acts” experience with their church really should expect Jews to hate them, not love them. “Jew” is mentioned over eighty times in the book of Acts. Read therein of the relationship between the false Jews and the Holy Ghost-filled preachers and Church. They hate the Church — they hate Jesus Christ. Nothing has changed in two-thousand years. A Christian Sermon goes something like this: ““You stiff-necked people! Your hearts and ears are still uncircumcised. You are just like your ancestors: You always resist the Holy Spirit! Was there ever a prophet your ancestors did not persecute? They even killed those who predicted the coming of the Righteous One. And now you have betrayed and murdered him— you who have received the law that was given through angels but have not obeyed it.” (Acts 7:42-53) Christians who preach that the false Jews are “God's chosen” do themselves and the world evil. Any Christian who greets Jews who reject the teaching of Christ (that He is literally the Son of God) puts forth their hands to do evil (2 John 11). Jesus warned the church about being part of the Whore, which is Babylon the Great (Rev 18:4). The False Jews have stolen the name “Israel” and mock God by placing a demon star (Acts 7:43) on their flag. The Church is Zion now, the Holy Jerusalem of God (Hebrew 12:22). Jesus Christ cursed the fig tree FOREVER. (Mark 11:14) and left Jerusalem desolate/fruitless (Matthew 23:38). Many Christians worship the Antichrist in ignorance as they grovel before the false Jews and proclaim (falsely) to the world that those people are “God's chosen.” Even, if possible, some of the elect are deceived. Other's know the truth but are cowards (Rev 21:8) and prefer to be friends of the world (James 4:4) Judeo-Christians worship the false Jews, who exactly fit the description of the Antichrist (2 John 2:22). Judeo-Christians are ashamed of the Words of Jesus Christ (Mark 8:38) and by renouncing His Word, they renounce the Saviour. Don't believe me. Please, don't believe me. Look these up for yourselves. And pass the word around. PS: And then you'll get your wish have having a true “New Testament” church as the wrath of hell — via the Jews — comes down on you.
When Jesus prophesied what would take place during the Olivet discourse (Mark 13) He was not just listing a number of terrible things that would happen. He was pointing to His glorious return where His Messianic Kingdom would be established and all things would be made right. Through His teaching we should be provoked to a deep longing and expectation for His return.

"The Gospel of Jesus Christ" Mark 1:1-8 by Pastor Cameron Unruh
Thursday evening message from Pastor Derek Neider.
Part 3/4 in a series on essential Biblical texts, considering the Passion and Resurrection of Jesus Christ (Mark 15-16).
Today we begin a new series in Mark's gospel. Mark starts with John the Baptist's preaching and three Old Testament quotes that he merges together to reveal exactly what Jesus has come to do, He is brining about the long-promised mission of God in the world. This is the Good News of Jesus Christ, the Son of God and Pastor Jamie begins to explore what it means for us to follow Him.
God always keeps his promises. And so, when the Kingdom of God began to come among us in the person of Jesus Christ (Mark 1:1, 14, 15), that One born of the house and lineage of David came as the descendant of Zerubbabel (Matt. 1:12; Luke 3:27) and as the beginning of the fulfillment of this word to Haggai the prophet. He introduced God's Kingdom which has no end (Luke 1:32–33), which will overthrow every rule and authority and power (1 Cor. 15:24–26) and which cannot be shaken or ever pass away (Heb. 12:28). The word of God spoken by Haggai the prophet began to find its fulfillment in Jesus Christ our Lord. Join us for Church Online.
