Passage: Mark 11:11-21
Jesus changes lives. Hopefully, you've experienced that firsthand, and if you have, it's time for you to go and tell! When we receive good news, we want to shout it from the mountaintops, but when it comes to the Good News of Jesus, it seems harder, doesn't it? What would happen if we all adopted the mindset of the man Jesus healed in Mark 5 and shared this good news with our friends and family? What's stopping you from sharing the Good News? You have a story to tell—go and share it! Passage: Mark 5:1-20; John 9:24-25 Speaker: Kevin Stiles

As we conclude our 'Different From the World' series, we finish with greatness. What does the world consider greatness and how does God consider greatness? And how do we achieve it? We will see from the greatest man of them all, Jesus Christ, what it means to be great and how different to the world that is. God bless. Passage: Mark 10:35-45
This Sunday, we continue our powerful series, The Least of These, with a message straight from the heart of Jesus! In Mark 10:13-16, the disciples tried to push the children away, but Jesus did the opposite—He welcomed them with open arms. In a world that often overlooks the weak, the small, and the powerless, Jesus declares, “The kingdom of God belongs to such as these!” What does that mean for us? It means that no one is too small, too insignificant, or too unworthy for God's love. Whether you feel unseen, unvalued, or forgotten, come hear how Jesus calls you His own. Passage: Mark 10:13-16
Get ready for another powerful message in our series, The least of these! This Sunday, we'll step into the story of the Demon possessed Man. In a world that pushes the the broken to the margins, Jesus moves toward them with love and mercy. Learn about how Darkness cannot resist the power of God. Passage: Mark 5: 1-20
Passage: Mark 1:29-45 Jesus knew who He was and what He and come to do, and He was not distracted from His mission. [29-34] Shun Fame [35-39] Say No [40-45] Serve Gladly
Following Jesus involves more than just attending church or believing the right things; it requires practicing a Way of life. To build a relationship with a God we cannot see, we need to invest time in following Jesus and reading Scripture. Our posture while engaging with the Bible is more important than just the technique we use. It's less about information and more about transformation. When read with the right heart posture, that of openness and yieldedness to God, Scripture becomes one of the primary means by which the Spirit of Jesus forms us into the people we were always meant to be. Passage: Mark 1:16-20; 2:13-14; 3:13-19; 8:34-37; Matthew 5:17-19 Speaker: Tim Sullivan

Discussion Questions Know K1 What did God say to you through the service / message today Grow G1 What do you make of James and John's request in verse 35? What do you think motivated them to ask this of Jesus? G2 Think of Jesus' words: you will drink the cup (of suffering according to Mk 14:32) and be baptized (into familial conflict according to Lk 12:52-53). Why do you think Jesus told them this would happen? Would you rather know or not know if bad things were coming your way? G3 What can you do to compare your Jesus with the Biblical Jesus? How can you know if “your Jesus” resembles the Jesus of the Bible or not? What will you do about it? G4 Jesus asked James and John (v36) the same question he asked Bartimaeus (v51). Why did he give Bartimaeus what he asked but not James and John? What was different about the two requests? G5 What about those who are ignorant of Jesus? They're not actively selfish (like James and John), they're just young in the faith, or naïve. Will Jesus answer their misguided prayers if they are sincere? Show S1 Jesus asks you “What do you want me to do for you?”. Guided by Mark 10:35-45, what do you ask of him?

Grow G1 What did God say to you through the testimony of Enya and Jane or through any of the aspects of the service today? G2 Jesus promises that those who have left things behind for his sake will receive "a hundred times as much in this present age." What do you think this means practically? How have you experienced this in your own life? G3 Why do you think Jesus includes "persecutions" in the list of things his followers will receive? How does this challenge our expectations of the Christian life? G4 Jesus concludes by saying "many who are first will be last, and the last first." How does this statement relate to the rest of the passage? What implications does it have for how we view status and position in God's kingdom? G5 Compare the lists in verse 29-30. Are there any differences. Why do you think this is? Which item on the list would be hardest for you to leave? G6 Leaving doesn't always mean going overseas on “mission”. What is God calling you to leave (home, country, job, relationship, way of thinking?) so that you can receive from him? Show S1 Is there anything you're unwilling to release or let go of?

Grow G1 Have you been impacted by divorce (either personally or someone you know)? How did you get through this season in your life? G2 In what ways does Jesus' reference to "hardness of heart" (Mark 10:5) help us understand the allowance of divorce in Mosaic law? Discuss its implications for modern relationships. G3 How can the church support individuals affected by divorce while upholding Jesus' teachings on marriage? Discuss practical ways to provide care and guidance.

Passage: Mark 10:1-12Date: October 06,2024
Jesus offers to each of us his broken body. We don't always understand all the pieces, or how they fit together, but if we follow the crumbs from the bread of life then we will be made whole and receive life in all its fullness, and have a path to life everlasting.
This year at the church we have been moving our Faith Forward by exploring discipleship in the gospel of Matthew. Near the end of the book of Matthew, Jesus calls his disciples to give special consideration for those on the margins of society, what he calls "the least of these". In taking care of orphans, widows, prisoners, and the like, we have the privilege of serving Jesus, himself. This summer at PLCPC, while Pastor Karla is on Sabbatical, we have the unique opportunity to hear from some of our Christian sisters and brothers who are doing this type of frontline discipleship ministry. The speakers range from those doing ministry to the unhoused, to those releasing people in bondage from human trafficking, to those helping refugees on our own border. Hopefully, you will be inspired and encouraged to take your own step in deeper discipleship by hearing their stories. Wherever God calls, might we all have the courage to answer. Seth Clark serves as Pastor at First Baptist Church of National Church (ABCUSA) and La Iglesia Fronteriza (interdenominational), offers spiritual direction and leadership coaching, gives leadership and theological training, and advocates for the people and places of our borderlands - especially Friendship Park. This week, Seth discusses how Jesus' early followers went out to preach and bring healing to the suffering. What do we do about the suffering that is right in our own backyard along and between the border walls?

Today's Passage: Mark 2:1-17Today's Prayer: PSALM 116:3 - “I will lift up the cup of salvation and call upon the name of the Lord.”Jesus, we hold out to the world the only hope we have: New Life through you. May we, who have tasted and seen that you are good, offer the same precious drink to those around us who do not know you. ROMANS 10:14 "How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? “Jesus, make our life a megaphone for your grace and glory. Put us in the path of people that are far from you, that we may - through patient friendship and well-earned trust - offer to them what they are most after: You. And , finally, JOHN 20:21 "Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, even so I am sending you.” Jesus, you do not have me in this world to simply indulge in my own salvation. Send me like you went: Into the lives of those who are from you. So that they, by your grace, may come to fully know you - the Savior of the World. For thine is the Kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever…AMEN.NOTES & LINKS:21 Days of Prayer and Fasting WebsitePDF Guide to Prayer & FastingAs part of the 21 days, we're committing to 21 days of 24/7 prayer.

Passage: Mark 6:30-44 Sermon Notes: Intro: 1. Review a. Rest is a Gift b. Rest so that you may Delight 2. Rest creates Opportunities for God to work through you a. Before the Lord can work through you, He has to be with you 1. With you in Rest vs 30-33 a. Before the Lord can work through you, He has to be with you...in your rest i. They were about to be a part of one of the biggest miracle, they needed to be with Jesus in their Rest. b. A short time with Jesus can give you the power to do wonders 2. With you in Truth vs 34-35 a. Before the Lord can work through you, He has to be with you...in truth i. You have to know the truth and live by the truth. ii. This only happens when you spend time with God and let that truth sink into your soul iii. Rest allows for God's truth to become a living reality and a driving force 3. With you in Power vs 36-44 a. He has to be with you...so that you would recognize His power i. Jesus does one of the biggest miracle ever, enough that they wanted him to be king after ii. But the result was a lot of them, were amazed with Jesus never WITH Jesus. iii. John 6, all of the crowd left him, only the disciples remained and Peter said, “To whom shall we go, you have the word of eternal life.”

Have you ever noticed how we tend to ask our kids a lot of questions? Why do we do this. We tend to ask our kids (and others) a lot of questions not just because of curiosity, but because we want them to have the freed to respond. The reality is, as much as well-behaved children or controlled, predictable behaviors are desirable—independent, free-spirited children (and people) who make their own thoughtful choices are a greater desire. That why God in the Old Testament and Jesus in the New Testament also ask us so many questions. God wants us to be free to choose, God desires our engagement, more specifically God wants us to feel free to choose Him. We now make the shift from Questions God asks to "Questions Jesus Asks". This week, we are faced with what seems like a rather simple question Jesus asks: "Why do you call me good?" So much of the Christian faith centers around being good, but Jesus says that is impossible. If goodness is not attainable, what does that mean for our faith?

In this sermon, Pastor John MacArthur exegetes the passage from Mark 13 where Jesus warns His disciples about the end times. He discusses the wars and rumors of wars, earthquakes, famines, persecution of Christians, and the rise of false Christs and false prophets. He also talks about the time of tribulation that will come before Jesus returns. MacArthur challenges Christians to be prepared for the end times and to be on the alert for His return.
