The Gospel of Mark 1-8 Pt 2: Jesus' Authority By Louie Marsh, 4-14-2024   1) Like Jesus I need to see every moment as a TEACHING moment.   “2And many were gathered together, so that there was no more room, not even at the door. And he was preaching the word to them. 3And they came, bringing to him a paralytic carried by four men. 4And when they could not get near him because of the crowd, they removed the roof above him, and when they had made an opening, they let down the bed on which the paralytic lay. (Mark 2:2–4, ESV)   ·       This is what true friendship LOOKS LIKE.   In Galilee, the ancient village of Qatzrin has been excavated and reconstructed. Although it was populated centuries after Jesus' time, scholars believe that the buildings and artifacts discovered there represent the practices of the first century.   A typical Galilean home was built of basalt (a dark volcanic rock) and had either one or two stories. A stonemason (sometimes translated as a "carpenter") used a wooden scaffold as he carefully squared the larger rocks and wedged smaller stones in between to provide stability and strength.   Sometimes walls were plastered with mud and straw. The doorframe was built of shaped stones and covered by a wooden door. A courtyard, located between various rooms of a family's housing complex, was paved with stones.   Roofs were flat and often made of wooden beams topped with tree branches and covered with clay. Many homes also used mats between the wooden beams to help hold the clay in place. When it rained, the clay absorbed water, sealing the roof, while the rest ran off. Sometimes people did their work on their roofs, which needed to be repaired every year.   Archaeological work has continued and has found that there were some homes during and after the time of Christ that had tiles on their roofs. So, it's possible that the building Jesus was in during this incident could have had a tile roof as Luke reports.   Archaeologists in Israel say they have discovered the remains of a home from the time of Jesus in the heart of Nazareth. The Israeli Antiquities Authority said the find “sheds light on the way of life at the time of Jesus” in the Jewish settlement of Nazareth... The find marks the first time researchers have uncovered the remains of a home in Nazareth from that time period, the Israeli Antiquities Authority said in a statement.   In the excavation, a large, broad wall that dates to the 15th century was exposed. It was constructed on top of and used the walls of an ancient building…This earlier building — the one that dates to the time of Jesus — consisted of two rooms and a courtyard in which a rock-hewn cistern collected rainwater. Few artifacts were recovered from inside the building — mostly fragments of pottery vessels from the first and second centuries.   “19but finding no way to bring him in, because of the crowd, they went up on the roof and let him down with his bed through the tiles into the midst before Jesus.” (Luke 5:19, ESV)   ·       Jesus SAW their faith.   5And when Jesus saw their faith,… (Mark 2:5a, ESV)   “18But someone will say, “You have faith and I have works.” Show me your faith apart from your works, and I will show you my faith by my works.” (James 2:18, ESV)   2) Jesus does the exact OPPOSITE of what we want.   5… he said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven.”” (Mark 2:5b, ESV)   ·       The Scribes were right but they were WRONG!   “6Now some of the scribes were sitting there, questioning in their hearts, 7“Why does this man speak like that? He is blaspheming! Who can forgive sins but God alone?”” (Mark 2:6–7, ESV)   3) Jesus says NOTHING is hard much less impossible for God.   “8And immediately Jesus, perceiving in his spirit that they thus questioned within themselves, said to them, “Why do you question these things in your hearts? 9Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, ‘Rise, take up your bed and walk'? 10But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins”—he said to the paralytic— 11“I say to you, rise, pick up your bed, and go home.”” (Mark 2:8–11, ESV)   ·       It takes no more ENERGY to say one that the other.   ·       If Jesus can forgive sins which makes him GOD.   “25“I, I am he who blots out your transgressions for my own sake, and I will not remember your sins.” (Isaiah 43:25, ESV)   4) Jesus CREATES another teaching moment.   ·       This would be legal if not for the SABBATH.   “23One Sabbath he was going through the grainfields, and as they made their way, his disciples began to pluck heads of grain. 24And the Pharisees were saying to him, “Look, why are they doing what is not lawful on the Sabbath?”” (Mark 2:23–24, ESV)   ·       Jesus goes to the ORIGINAL INTENT of the Law with Scripture.   “25And he said to them, “Have you never read what David did, when he was in need and was hungry, he and those who were with him: 26how he entered the house of God, in the time of Abiathar the high priest, and ate the bread of the Presence, which it is not lawful for any but the priests to eat, and also gave it to those who were with him?”” (Mark 2:25–26, ESV)   ·       Jesus is Lord, has AUTHORITY, over the Sabbath.   “27And he said to them, “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath. 28So the Son of Man is lord even of the Sabbath.”” (Mark 2:27–28, ESV)   o   So Jesus has authority over EVERYTHING!   “18And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.” (Matthew 28:18, ESV)    

Luke 19:41-48 Jesus Saw the Sham That Was the Citys Reality (vv.41-44) Jesus looked around. Jesus looked within. Jesus looked ahead. Jesus Saw the Shame of the Citys Religion (vv. 45-48) Righteous indignation Righteous instruction The reaction of the priests The response of the people More to Consider I read about a small boy who was consistently late coming home from school. His parents warned him one day that he must be home on time that afternoon, but nevertheless he arrived later than ever. His mother met him at the door and said nothing. At dinner that night, the boy looked at his plate. There was a slice of bread and a glass of water. He looked at his father's full plate and then at his father, but his father remained silent. The boy was crushed. The father waited for the full impact to sink in, then quietly took the boy's plate and placed it in front of himself. He took his own plate of meat and potatoes, put it in front of the boy, and smiled at his son. When that boy grew to be a man, he said, "All my life I've known what God is like by what my father did that night." J. Allan Peterson Martin Luther once read the account of Abraham offering Isaac on the altar in Genesis 22. His wife, Katie, said, "I do not believe it. God would not have treated his son like that!" "But, Katie," Luther replied, "He did." Warren Wiersbe Theologians tell a story to illustrate how Christ's triumph presently benefits our lives: Imagine a city under siege. The enemy that surrounds they city will not let anyone or anything leave. Supplies are running low, and the citizens are fearful. But in the dark of the night, a spy sneaks through the enemy lines. He has rushed to the city to tell the people that in another place the main enemy force has been defeated; the leaders have already surrendered. The people do not need to be afraid. It is only a matter of time until the besieging troops receive the news and lay down their weapons. Similarly, we may seem now to be surrounded by the forces of evil -- disease, injustice, oppression, death. But the enemy has actually been defeated at Calvary. Things are not the way they seem to be. It is only a matter of time until it becomes clear to all that the battle is really over. Richard J. Mouw, Uncommon Decency, pp. 149-150.

Sometimes it feels like nobody really sees you, life seems mundane and blah. You're going through the motions, but you wonder if it really matters. So often our hearts long to serve and know that our life makes a difference - but it feels so normal, and like it doesn't really matter. Maybe you feel like you're "just" one more person. But Jesus says something different. Today we're in John 1, where Jesus saw Nathanael under the fig tree. He was just going about his life when Jesus called him into the greatest adventure imaginable. Jesus sees you too - the hopes and dreams, the struggles and fears - and He's calling you to turn the world upside down with Him. Join me today as we look at how God sees us, and how it transforms our life and service when we understand what that truly means. 

Maybe we have a PR problem??In a Barna survey earlier this year…42% of people with no faith say that “the hypocrisy of Christian people” causes them to doubt the Christian faith. (Barna)So Yikes

Jesus qualifies the unqualified in the eyes of all men. Her inadequacy and insufficiency did not define her purpose in God but her heart was pure and open before God

June 18, 2023: Sermon by the Rev. Ginny Hege Tobiassen, pastor of Home Moravian Church, Winston-Salem, NC. Gospel Lesson: Matthew 9:35-38

John 4:1-42, Roger Leonard

E61   Is God offended at us? Who was Jesus hanging on the cross? What enabled Jesus to endure the cross? Paul said, “I've determined to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified. That sounds morbid, but it must really be pivotal! Does the traditional religious celebration of Easter lack deep understanding of what really was happening on the cross?  Discover deeper and be wowed!

God knew how weak we were when He called us. Yet He wanted us anyway. He knows us far better than we know ourselves. Nothing we do surprises Him. In one of the psalms David says, “He knows our frame, He knows we are but dust” (Ps 103:14). Clearly He's not impressed with our natural capacities. How silly our well-intended promises must sound to Him when we try to assure Him that we will never fail that way again. Yes, it pleases Him that we want to please Him, but He knows only too well that our willpower is hopelessly weak in the face of severe temptation. That doesn't mean we can't be victorious. It doesn't mean we won't be victorious, but it does mean we won't until the Holy Spirit indwells us and we learn to lay hold of His power, until we truly discover that “greater is He who is in [us] than he who is in the world” (1Jn 4:4), until we've learned how to “put to death the deeds of the flesh by the Spirit” (Ro 8:13). Peter meant every word he said when he vowed to the Lord, “I will lay down my life for You” (Jn 13:37). But Jesus saw his weakness and replied, “Will you? Actually you will deny Me three times before morning” (paraphrase). Peter would have been wise not to take that discussion further. But he felt he knew his heart, he knew he really meant it, so he argued with Jesus. He said, “Even if I have to die with You, I will not deny You,” and all the other disciples said the same thing (Mt 26:35). Yet as you and I know, because we've read ahead, they all failed just as He said they would, not at first (Jn 18:10), but later after Jesus was arrested. That bold resolve collapsed, and they fled. As He died on the cross they watched fearfully from a safe distance. In the days before His resurrection they met in secret behind locked doors. But the amazing part is that even though Jesus knew they would fail to keep those promises, He went on to tell them how much He loved them and what wonderful apostles they were going to be in the future. He looked past their failure and saw their glory. He looked past the broken promises and saw men full of the power of the Holy Spirit. What did He see that evening? Whatever it was we need to see it too.

What God is doing in the earth? What did He create us to do? In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses our need for a God vision—seeing the world from His perspective and with His purposes in mind. Jesus has been involved in the world since the beginning, and He is intimately aware of our circumstances today. In the end times, He told us there would be an increase in God's movement taking place alongside an increase in evil. By turning our focus to what God is doing, we can be better equipped to take our place in His plans.   To support this ministry and help us continue to reach people all around the world, click here: allenjackson.com/podcastdonate

Here in Philippians, Paul talks about amazing travel that you and I do right where we are, and where God Himself has placed us at this time in our lives. He has just extolled the overwhelming joy of “not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ—the righteousness that comes from God and is by faith.” And as a result, he now shares with you and me the glossy, travel brochure of most amazing Holy Land trip you and I could imagine. And you don't even have to get on a plane.

radiantvisalia.comThe Gospel of Matthew: When Jesus Saw Their Faith (Matthew 9:1-8)with Travis Aicklen

We get to celebrate the birth of Jesus every year on December 25th, but in reality, there was never a time when he was not.

*** CHAPTER 13:  JESUS CALLS MATTHEW TO BE A DISCIPLE AFTER THE miraculous cure of the paralytic, Jesus left the house and, as he passed along, saw Matthew, known as Levi, the son of Alpheus, sitting in the customhouse-where he performed his duties as tax collector.  Jesus said to him:              “Follow me.”             Matthew arose and followed him.             Later Jesus sat down to a meal in Matthew's house.  With him were his disciples and many tax collectors and sinners.             Pharisees and scribes who saw them eating together were surprised and said to the disciples:             “Why do ye eat and drink with publicans and sinners?”             Jesus, hearing them, said:             “They that are whole need not a physician; but they that are sick.  I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”
