We view interruptions as bad things, but that isn't the perspective that Jesus models for us. Join us as Pastor Josh unpacks how interruptions are often designed to be opportunities. Don't hurry through the interruption or you just might miss it.
Because God goes before us, we have reason for peace.For this week's Outline and Community Group questions, download our app or visit hillsidefellowship.org, click on Resources and find today's sermon.Support the show

A woman with a hemorrhage has faith that if she only touches Jesus' garment, she will be healed. We must grasp for the same level of faith.

A podcast series taking us on a Journey to the Lamb. Today's episode features Pastor Sean and Stephanie as they speak on Mary anointing Jesus in John 12:1-8.
David Hume (1711 - 1776) penned what has arguably become one of the most widely quoted works against the possibility of miracles. Hume's essay, "Of Miracles," appears in his larger work, An Inquiry Concerning Human Understanding. In this short essay, Hume tries to argue in such a way that virtually no evidence for a miracle would be sufficient to establish a claim that a miracle has taken place. On the next two editions of Apologetics Profile we speak with Christian philosopher Dr. Timothy McGrew about Hume's life and times and some of the weaknesses of Hume's arguments. Tim gives us helpful insights into the nature of Hume's thesis and helps us understand some of the more often cited quotations used by non-believers today who argue against the possibility of miracles. On part one we talk a little about Hume's life and times and get into part one of Hume's essay. ADDITIONAL RESOURCES: Watchman Fellowship's 4-page Profile on Atheism by Robert M.

Have you ever prayed for a miracle? Sometimes, you might get the answer you were hoping for! But other times, it seems like God doesn't respond. So why is that?
Pastor J.D. walks us through the story of two people who came to Jesus looking for physical healing. But these stories are about so much more than just getting your prayers answered!
LAKE FOREST DAVIDSON/STORYHILL CHURCH Michael Flake – Lead Teaching Pastor
The bible is known as the greatest book ever written. As an apostate, I can still agree to that. As a Christian it was the only necessary literature to guide my life. I dabbled into C.S. Lewis and Tolkien, however, I was adamant about guarding my mind against the heathen's literature, lest the devil takes my soul. One of the first things I did when I renounced my christian faith, was to engorge myself in books. Books I was not allowed to read, books that were thought to be demonic, aka "science books". I have also re-read certain books of the Bible after leaving the faith. Boring genealogies aside, the bible is, at its core, a story about humans being human. The scribes have recorded the depths of human courage, of sacrifice and love. There is also a plethora of evil: men who lust for power, and stories of incest and infanticide, to a horny king (a voyeur that watches women bathe and has her husband killed). Indeed, the Bible comes alive outside of the Christian cave. I still wonder, however, what other caves am I in? There is only one way to find out, and find a way out. It's to dig. Be it the inerrant word of god or not, the bible has many stories to heed, stories to think about and laugh about. *** Jesus Interrupted by Dr. Bart D. EhrmanAnd so I did not leave the Christian faith because of the inherent problems of faith per se, or because I came to realize that the Bible was a human book, or that Christianity was a human religion. All that is true - but it was not what dismantled my acceptance of the Christian myth. I left the faith for what I took to be (and still take to be) an unrelated reason: the problem of suffering in the world. There came a time in my life when I found that the myths no longer made sense to me, no longer resonated with me, no longer informed the way I looked at the world. I came to a place where I could no longer see how-even if viewed mythically-the central Christian beliefs were in any sense “true” for me, given the oppressive and powerful reality of human suffering in the world.

Andy and TJ are joined by Dr. Alan Meyers. Dr. Meyers is Professor Emeritus of religion at Lindenwood University as well as Parish Associate at Oak Hill Presbyterian Church in St. Louis. Andy and TJ both took classes with Dr. Meyers while at Lindenwood. We talk about "biblical criticism" (or the "historical-critical method"), as well as the difficulty of squaring the findings of biblical scholarship with the fundamentalist perspective. Biblical criticism is "the process of establishing the plain meaning of biblical texts and of assessing their historical accuracy... and indicates the effort at using scientific criteria (historical and literary) and human reason to understand and explain as objectively as possible the meaning intended by the biblical writers." (Source)It was a fantastic conversation, and we hope you enjoy it as much as we did!Book Mentions:1. "Jesus Interrupted" by Bart Ehrman 2. "Philosophy of Religion" by John Hick3.

In this final talk in our interrupted series, we see a moment where Jesus is interrupted in the midst of his mission to save a dying girl. How will Jesus respond to such an interruption when so much is at stake elsewhere? Pastor David shares with us some great encouragements as we discover the God who is willing to be interrupted.

In times of deep personal crisis, we are often tempted to postpone or abandon our quest for biblical understanding and godly wisdom. We simply don't have time for such noble pursuits when we are in survival mode. But that reaction is dangerous as it focuses our attention on the fear of the circumstances and off the face of the Savior. In this episode of Apologetics Profile, Daniel Ray begins his conversation with Christian philosopher, Dr. Tim McGrew, on the reason everyone does philosophy and why every believer should strive to develop a solid Christian philosophy to the glory of God -- especially during difficult times. The interview takes place at the Defend apologetics conference on the campus of New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary. Dr. McGrew completed his Ph.D. in Philosophy at Vanderbilt University in 1992 and is currently a professor in the Department of Philosophy at Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo. His teaching interests include: Epistemology History and philosophy of science Philosophical applications of probability Philosophy of religion BONUS: Tim was also interviewed for one of our meetings of the Atheist & Christian Book Club (www.AtheistChristianBookClub.com) to respond to Bart Ehrman's book, Jesus Interrupted.

The last days of Jesus on Earth were full of interruptions, but they didn't interfere with God's plan - they only advanced it. See how our lives are no different and how Jesus, interrupted is still Jesus divine.

This week guest speaker Aled Griffith from Nottingham City Prayer gave us a one-off message. Aled encourages us to pursue God in all that we do, reminding us that Jesus is 'interruptible' and calls us to be the same in our lives

Devotions from the life of Jesus #14. Mark continued with his series showing how Jesus dealt with the interruptions or detours of life. Matthew 19:10 shows us that Jesus had time for children, the future of His kingdom. The disciples’ problem was not seeing an opportunity to practice Jesus' teachings. Luke 10:25 shows us who is our neighbor when life happenings disrupt our day, energies, money, and faith. Jesus said your neighbor is anyone in need. Matthew 9 is about needy people and how we can help them by having compassion. Matthew 12:9-15 deals with troublemakers, specifically those who opposed Jesus doing God’s work on the Sabbath. Real life isn't a straight road. Listen to Mark show us how Jesus’ instructions help us follow Him in obedience.

REFLECTION QUOTES “When you try your best but you don't succeed When you get what you want but not what you need When you feel so tired but you can't sleep.” ~“Fix You” by Cold Play “The defects of human society are the defects of human nature.” ~ William Golding (1911-1993), author of The Lord of the Flies “Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of overcoming it.” ~Helen Keller (1880-1968), American author and activist “The first link between my soul and Christ is not my goodness but my badness; not my merit but my misery; not my riches but my need.” “If you are to go to Christ, do not put on your good doings and feelings, or you will get nothing; go in your sins…. Your ruin is your argument for mercy; your poverty is your plea for heavenly alms; and your need is the motive for heavenly goodness. Go as you are, and let your miseries plead for you.” ~Charles Spurgeon (1834-1892), British preacher “…Mark is making it clear that Jesus did not come just to give his gifts. He came to give himself.” ~Michael Card, American songwriter and musical artist “Desperation is the raw material of drastic change. Only those who can leave behind everything they have ever believed in can hope to escape.” ~William S. Burroughs (1914-1997), American writer SERMON PASSAGE Mark 5:21-43 (ESV) 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 overhearingwhat 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.
Pastor Eric tells of a time when Jesus was interupted in his ministry
The scripture reading: Mark 10:46-52 In the eighth sermon in the "Face to Face With Jesus" series, we hear Bartimaueus, a blind beggar, interrupt Jesus' journey from Jericho to Jerusalem and we learn that people who are suffering don't interrupt what is important - instead they remind us of what is important.
