Sermon by David Rountree on 11/30/25 at New Covenant Church in Anderson, SC. Scripture Passage: John 8:31-59 Outline: 1. Remaining in Bondage Rather than Remaining in the Word (v.31–43). 2. Loving the Devil Rather than Loving Jesus (v.42–55). 3. Failing to Rejoicing in Seeing Jesus' Day (v.56–59).
Every day we walk past people without a second thought—in the grocery store, at the office, maybe even at our own Thanksgiving table. But according to Jesus, some of those unremarkable moments were actually encounters with Christ himself, and we had no idea. The question isn't whether we'll meet Jesus this week; the question is whether we'll recognize him when we do. This week we explore why the most eternally significant moments of our lives might be hiding in the interruptions we're trying to avoid.

Guest Preacher Patrick Boatwright preaches from Luke 23 on Christ the King Sunday.
MARK 5:21-24a, 35-43 21 When Jesus had crossed over by boat to the other side of the lake, a large crowd gathered around him while he was by the lake. 22 Then one of the synagogue rulers, named Jairus, came there. Seeing Jesus, he fell at his feet. 23 and pleaded earnestly with him, "My little daughter is dying. Please come and put your hands on her so that she will be healed and live." 24 So Jesus went with him. 35 While Jesus was still speaking, some men came from the house of Jairus, the synagogue ruler. "Your daughter is dead," they said. "Why bother the teacher any more?" 36 Ignoring what they said, Jesus told the Synagogue ruler, "Don't be afraid; just believe." 37 He did not let anyone follow him except for Peter, James, and John the brother of James. 38 When they came to the home of the synagogue ruler, Jesus saw a commotion, with people crying and wailing loudly. 39 He went in and said to them, "Why all this commotion and wailing? The child is not dead but asleep." 40 But they laughed at him. After he put them all out, he took the the child's father and mother and the disciples who were with him, and went in where the child was. 41 He took her by the hand and said to her, "Talitha koum!" (which means, "Little girl, I say to you, get up!). 42 Immediately the girl stood up and walked around (she was twelve years old). At this they were completely astonished. 43 He gave strict orders not to let anyone know about this, and told them to give her something to eat. NIV 84 LESSON NOTES Faith is the common ground that connects everyone to Jesus. Jairus and the woman in Mark 5 could not be more opposite—economically, socially, religiously. Yet the only thing that brings both into an encounter with Jesus is faith. The gospel equalizes everyone at the feet of Christ. Faith must move us to come to Jesus even when it means leaving the crowd. Jairus steps out from the great crowd and publicly falls at Jesus' feet—an act shocking for a synagogue ruler. True faith is willing to break from the crowd, reputation, or comfort to seek Jesus. Faith requires continuing with Jesus when circumstances suddenly turn toward despair. When Jairus receives news of his daughter's death, Jesus immediately speaks: “Do not be afraid, just keep on believing.” Faith is not a moment—it is a daily, ongoing choice to trust Jesus beyond fear, loss, or confusion. Faith ultimately conquers in Jesus, not by avoiding death, but by trusting the One who transforms death itself. Jesus doesn't merely reverse death for Jairus' daughter—He redefines death as sleep for all who belong to Him. His power over nature, demons, disease, and now death shows He alone can break death's grip. The story points us to the final awakening for all who “fall asleep in Christ.” Jesus' tender words—“Little girl, wake up”—foreshadow the day He will awaken all His people. Death is not the end; it is a temporary sleep from which the Lord will rouse His children. DISCUSSION QUESTIONS 1. Where do you personally find it hardest to “step out of the crowd” and come openly to Jesus? What crowds—social, cultural, relational—make faith costly for you? 2. Think of a time your faith was shaken by unexpected news or suffering. What helped you keep walking with Jesus rather than turning away? 3. Jesus tells Jairus, “Do not be afraid, just continue believing.” What fears most often compete with your faith today? How might you intentionally respond to them with trust? 4. How does Jesus' view of death as temporary sleep reshape the way you think about loss, grief, or your own mortality? 5. In what ways do we sometimes place our faith “in faith itself” rather than in Jesus? What practical habits help keep your trust centered in Christ rather than in your own spiritual performance?

Seeing Jesus as joyful and relatable shakes up the usual serious image we often hold. His welcoming nature and genuine kindness highlight the importance of community and compassion, showcasing a life full of purpose and joy. By embracing others without judgment and viewing hospitality as a chance for deeper connection, we can shift from feeling isolated to finding true harmony and meaningful relationships.
Pastor Jack Morris shares an uplifting message titled Seeing Jesus. It's easy to think we can only see the Lord in life's big spiritual moments—but the truth is, He is present in every part of our day.Pastor Jack reminds us that even in our ordinary routines—at work, at home, or in quiet reflection—Jesus is there, waiting for us to recognize Him. Just as the disciples on the road to Emmaus didn't realize they were walking beside the risen Christ, we too can miss His presence if we're not tuned in and looking with eyes of faith.

In Luke 24, we're reminded that it's possible to be around Jesus without truly seeing him. But when the Spirit opens our eyes through the Word, we see him clearly, and seeing Jesus always leads to worship.

Don’t let your familiarity with Jesus prevent you from seeing him.
The story of Jesus doesn't begin in Bethlehem - it begins in Genesis. Rabbi Jason Sobel joins us to explore how the whole Bible, from creation to new creation, points to one Messiah and one redemptive plan. His new book, Transformed by the Messiah, invites readers to rediscover the power of Scripture as one seamless narrative rather than two disconnected halves. In this episode, we trace how the Hebrew Scriptures set the stage for the Gospel: Joseph's betrayal and restoration, the feasts that frame the Kingdom, and the prophetic rhythms that pulse beneath every New Testament page. Jason shows how the Messiah fulfills - not replaces - Israel's story, inviting both Jew and Gentile into God's covenant promises. We also talk about how this restored vision transforms how we live - rooted in God's faithfulness, connected to His appointed times, and awakened to a Messiah who holds all of Scripture together. The goal isn't to add something new but to recover what's been there all along: the unity, beauty, and coherence of God's Word from beginning to end. Key Takeaways The Bible tells one continuous story of redemption, not two separate Testaments. Transformed by the Messiah helps readers see how every part of Scripture points to Yeshua. The Old Testament provides the framework; the New Testament reveals the fulfillment. Joseph's life foreshadows Messiah's rejection, suffering, and ultimate reconciliation. The biblical feasts - especially Sukkot - reveal the shape of God's Kingdom plan. Seeing Jesus through His Jewish context restores depth and meaning to our faith. Transformation in Messiah is holistic: spiritual, emotional, relational, and physical - reflecting God's shalom.

In Matthew 14:22-36, Matthew records Jesus walking on the water. This miracle is only recorded in 3 Gospels. Matthew, Mark and John.Seeing Jesus walking on the sea, they were terrified thinking He was a phantom. Our Lord was so kind as to quickly quiet their fears when He said, "Take courage, It is I, Stop being afraid". Notice, He first encourages, then identifies Himself, saying literally, I AM, and lastly He comforts saying stop fearing.Now Matthew, who was there, is the only one to write about Peter asking Jesus to let Him come to Him walking on the waters to come to Jesus.Peter alone had faith enough to crawl down out of the boat to walk on the waters right up to Jesus until He got His eyes off of Jesus.Here is Dr. Mitchell on the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast, Matthew 14:22.

The Book of Psalms is far more than ancient poetry—it's the prayerbook of the Church and a vital guide for encountering Jesus. In this episode, we interview Chad Bird, author and scholar who specializes in teaching the Old Testament to Christians. We ask a variety of questions related to his newest book "Untamed Prayers." We explore why the Psalms are essential for Christians today. We discuss how the New Testament interprets the Psalms, the connection between David and Jesus, and how to see Christ even in Psalms that aren't quoted in the New Testament. We also talk about the beauty of reading the Psalms in Hebrew, the intentional structure of the book, and how the Church Fathers used the Psalms for formation and devotion. From wrestling with the language of enemies to learning how to pray through every season of life, this episode is a call to dive deeper into the Psalms and meet Jesus there.Chad Bird is a Scholar in Residence at 1517. He has served as a pastor, professor, and guest lecturer in Old Testament and Hebrew. He holds master's degrees from Concordia Theological Seminary and Hebrew Union College. He has contributed articles to Christianity Today, The Gospel Coalition, Modern Reformation, The Federalist, Lutheran Forum, and other journals and websites. He is also the author of several books, including The Christ Key & Limping with God.Untamed Prayers - 365 Daily Devotions on Christ in the Book of Psalms: https://a.co/d/eeZ9ilMChapters0:00–1:08 Intro1:09–3:29 Why Psalms is important3:30–7:06 How the New Testament interprets Psalms7:07–11:45 Thinking about David and Jesus11:46–16:19 Seeing Jesus in Psalms even if the chapter isn't quoted in the New Testament16:20–22:31 Insights from Reading Psalms in Hebrew22:32–31:14 Intentional ordering of Psalms31:15–34:11 Psalms as the prayerbook of the Church34:12–37:50 Church Fathers and Psalms37:51–41:30 Prayerbook of the soldiers of Christ41:31–45:38 Encountering Jesus in Psalms45:39–53:04 Understanding “enemies” in Psalms53:05–56:34 Admonishment to read the PsalmsJoin our Bible Study: https://www.patreon.com/hebrewbibleinsights WHERE TO FIND US Support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/hebrewbibleinsights YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLRSNQ7xVw7PjQ5FnqYmSDA Website: https://www.hebrewbibleinsights.com
