Remember, daylight savings time begins this Sunday! Everything moves up an hour. When we last left Mark's gospel, Jesus had called Levi, the tax collector, to follow Him. Having left all behind, Levi held a banquet at which Jesus ate with many tax collectors and sinners, drawing the questions of the Pharisees. As we examine Mark 2:18-22, we again find Jesus questioned about this feast at Levi's house. Jesus is asked why the disciples of John the Baptist and the Pharisees' disciples fast while Jesus' disciples are feasting. Jesus does not condemn the practice of fasting as a spiritual discipline. Jesus himself fasted in the gospels. But Jesus answers by comparing Himself to a bridegroom at a wedding. His presence is a time for joy and celebration. Then, He gives two illustrations showing that the New Covenant Kingdom of God has not come as an addition or addendum to the traditions of Judaism. Jesus says no one sews a new patch on an old garment or puts new wine in old wineskins. Doing so would destroy both the old and the new. Jesus does not come as a helpful addition to an already religious life. He did not come to add an extra little benefit to our already put-together goals and aspirations. Christ comes as the bridegroom to transform the sinner's nature. He has come to make us new creatures, not to sprinkle some good theology and doctrine on our religious traditions. Sunday, we will examine what kind of fasting Jesus is being asked about and how his answer and illustration apply to us today. I. Jesus Is Questioned About Fasting (v. 18) II. Jesus Presence Is An Occasion For Joy (v. 19-20) III. Jesus is Not An Accessory To Life Or Religion (v. 21-22)

Sermon by elder Billy Dalton

Service from Christian Bible Church in Cissna Park, Illinois.Pastor: Steve Hall

Sermon by elder Billy Dalton

Can compassion and rule-keeping coexist without conflict, or are they irrevocably at odds? Join us as we explore the tension between these two forces through the lens of Mark Chapters 2 and 3, beginning with the simple yet controversial act of Jesus and his disciples plucking grain on the Sabbath. With this scenario, Jesua challenges the rigid traditions of the Pharisees by asking if human need can, and should, take precedence over Pharisaical Law. Jesus's reference to David's actions and his bold claim of being "Lord of the Sabbath" push us to reflect on our own possible entanglement in legalism at the expense of compassion and understanding. This episode serves as a powerful reminder of the balance needed between upholding religious traditions and maintaining the compassion that lies at the heart of faith.Support the showThank you for listening!!

February 23rd, 2025 | Mark | Rev. Jeremy Byrd

This Sunday, we enter a new section of the gospel of Mark. Having seen four demonstrations of Christ's authority, culminating in His authority to forgive sins. The next four passages show us the religious leaders' opposition to Jesus, which leads to their resolution to destroy Christ (Mark 3:6). Last week, as Christ forgave and healed the paralytic, we saw the beginning of this opposition as scribes viewed Jesus' authority to forgive sins as blasphemy. In Mark 2:13-17, Jesus calls one of the most despised and immoral people in Hebrew culture - a Jewish tax collector. As Jesus continues to proclaim the Kingdom of God, calling people to repent and believe the gospel, He shows that this salvation is even open to the worst of sinners. Not only that, but Jesus fellowships at table with the worst of sinners. Christ's association with sinners brings the opposition of "scribes of the Pharisees," who saw this as an act of defilement. Jesus responds with a well-known proverb saying, "Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.” (Mark 2:17). This is both a glorious welcome for sinners and a warning for those who see themselves as righteous by their works (as the Pharisees did). Jesus is a friend of sinners, but He is not a friend of sin. In Luke's account of this event, Jesus says, "I have not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance.” (Luke 5:32). A sure sign of the Kingdom of God breaking into the life of a sinner is repentance and faith. When Jesus calls Levi, who is probably well-known and hated for his extortion of the people of Capernaum, He calls him to leave everything behind and follow Jesus. Sunday, we will examine Levi's call, this fellowship meal of sinners, and Jesus' warning to the self-righteous. I. Jesus Calls The Worst Of Sinners (v. 13-14) II. Jesus Fellowships With The Worst Of Sinners (v. 15-16) III. Jesus Calls Sinners Not Self-Righteous (v. 17)

What if the way we approach faith could transform our spiritual journey? Join us as we navigate the powerful stories within Mark, chapter 2, where Jesus' awe-inspiring return to Capernaum provokes a spectrum of reactions from eager followers to skeptical onlookers. We promise an exploration of how modern-day reactions to Jesus mirror those of the past, reflecting on churches that cater to superficial desires versus those that offer the challenging, authentic Gospel, fostering true spiritual growth. Uncover the essence of faith in action through the story of the paralytic man carried by his friends, a narrative that vividly illustrates how trust in Jesus can lead to profound healing. As we wrap up, we discuss the broader impact of Jesus' miracles on the people who witnessed them, noting their role in glorifying God and further establishing Jesus' authority. Tune in to gain a deeper understanding of how these ancient narratives continue to resonate with and challenge us today.Support the show

Sermon by elder Billy Dalton 

Service from Christian Bible Church in Cissna Park, Illinois. Pastor: Steve Hall

Legalism is always a danger in any religion. Christians are not called to follow a law but a Savior, Jesus. Knowing the difference between following a law versus following a person can make all the difference. When we follow Jesus, we can let go of rule-keeping and rest in a life of grace led by Jesus.

Theme From Sunday's Sermon: Trust and Forgiveness On this edition of One Single Story, Pastors Stephen Mizell, Jay Rivenbark, and Alyssa Bream discuss the following questions: As I was reading this passage, I was struck by the question that was asked by the Pharisees and the religious leaders which is recorded in verse 16. "Why does he eat with such scum?" The word "scum" surprised me. That sort of makes sense to me from the perspective of their culture. But what was the big deal about having a meal together? Do you think there are still people that our modern churches struggle to imagine having a place at the table? How can we celebrate sinners coming to Jesus today? Do you think modern churches do a good job of celebrating sinners coming to Jesus? The reading for the day is: Leviticus 4:1–5:19 Mark 2:13–3:6 Psalm 36:1-12 Proverbs 10:1-2

Jesus' kingdom authority has been the focus throughout Mark 1. He burst onto the scene proclaiming that the Kingdom of God is at hand and calling people to repent and believe the good news. Then, Mark presents four consecutive miracles that demonstrate Christ's authority. Jesus casts out an unclean spirit in the synagogue of Capernaum, showing His authority over the kingdom of darkness. He heals Peter's mother-in-law because He has authority over every effect of the fall. Last week, we examined the third miracle, when Jesus cleansed a leper. Only Christ has the authority to make the unclean clean. Each of these miracles reveals more of the Messiah's authority to bring God's Kingdom, culminating in the exercise of His most incredible display of authority. This Sunday, Mark presents the fourth miracle, revealing that Jesus has the authority to forgive sin. The story of four men breaking through the roof to let down their paralytic friend before Jesus is a well-known narrative. Yet, this event is not just another physical healing. After seeing the faith of these men who are determined to get to Jesus and seeing the paralyzed man suffering before Him, Jesus does not immediately say, “Pick up your bed and walk.” Instead, His first words are, “Son, your sins are forgiven.” Jesus looks past this man's physical suffering and meets his greatest need. Jesus only heals this man's physical body to prove that He has the authority to forgive sins. When Christ pronounces the man's sins forgiven, scribes in the crowd are offended that Jesus would claim an authority only God has. Only God can forgive sins, and claiming this authority is blasphemy. Knowing what is in their hearts, Jesus heals this man proving that He indeed is “the Son of Man” and “has authority on earth to forgive sins.” (Mark 2:10). I. Setting (v. 1-2) II. Faith Is Displayed In Action (v. 3-5a) III. Jesus Meets Our Greatest Need (v. 5) IV. Jesus Has Authority To Forgive Sin (v. 6-12)

Caleb Drahosh Two things happen in this passage: the disciples pluck heads of grain because they are hungry and Jesus heals a man with a withered hand. Both events take place on the Sabbath. The Pharisees challenge Jesus in both instances. But Jesus shows us that God's good gifts shouldn't be turned into a burden, rather they should point us to God's abundant grace. Jesus determines the intent of the Sabbath.

Jesus heals the paralytic who is lowered down to Him through a roof by his friends. The scribes quickly accuse Jesus of blasphemy for forgiving the lame man's sins. Following this, Jesus calls Matthew, a tax collector, to follow Him. A dinner is held at Matthew's house and many sinners are invited to see Jesus. The Pharisees stand outside and accuse Jesus of ungodly behavior. After a brief conversation with John the Baptist's disciples, Jesus and His disciples pass through a grainfield. The disciples eat from the field, and the Pharisees show up and accuse them of violating the Law. Jesus silences them with these words: “The Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath.” Amid the Pharisees' fault-finding mission is a series of beautiful moments with Jesus. The lame man had friends willing to work to get him to Jesus, resulting in Jesus rewarding their faith with forgiveness of sins. Matthew is called to Christ and organizes a dinner so that others may know Him. Jesus is willing and says, “I did not come to call the righteous, but the sinners.” This is a time of celebration, as He points out to John's followers. We live in a time like this, amplified by the resurrection of Jesus. He heals and forgives and seeks to save sinners. Surround yourself with friends who pull you nearer to Him. And be that friend for someone else.  Omnipotent Father, no one can stand against You or Your Son. The Pharisees failed every time to discredit Him, as unbelievers do today. Lord God, soften their hearts to know the Savior. We pray to hear Him through all the noise and understand that all help and healing are found when we are closer to Him. Help us be wise in choosing people in our lives who help us draw near to Jesus. And Father, create opportunities for us to bring others to Him. Use us bountifully during this time of feasting and joy in Jesus.  Thought Questions: -       The Pharisees asked, “Who can forgive sins but God alone?” A great question. Do you understand that Jesus is God and can forgive your sins? -       If Jesus came to call sinners, even those cast aside by others, did Jesus come to call you? Who else do you know who needs to hear that? -       The Jews thought they controlled the Sabbath. But Jesus is the Lord of the Sabbath. Is Jesus also the Lord over your daily life and worship?

Caleb Drahosh Jesus came not to call the righteous, but sinners. The Pharisees and scribes relied on works of the law to be justified. The Pharisees demanded that Jesus' disciples fast, but Jesus challenges their attitudes. The Bridegroom had arrived; why mourn? Jesus Christ, the Righteous One, had arrived; why look for righteousness elsewhere? Self-righteous religion and Jesus simply don't mix.
