Are You Open? Today, Pastor Michael is giving us a story that is unique to Mark; it doesn't appear in any of the other gospels.  The question we're centering on in this study is, “Are You Open?”.   As in, open to the will of God. Jesus has just left Tyre, to the north of Israel, and He decides to go around the east side of the Sea of Galilee.  Folks brought a deaf man to Jesus, and He told him, “Be Opened,” and the man could hear again. Jesus told the people not to tell anyone, but the more He ordered them, the more they proclaimed it. The great thing here, however, is that the man could now hear and hear the most important thing he could ever hear: Jesus! The question is not is the Lord speaking?  The question is, are you open to what He has to say? Are you open? (CSB Study Bible Notes) While Jesus's other healing miracles brought astonishment and amazement (1:22,27; 2:12; 5:20,42; 6:2,6,51), this is the only time that extremely or “beyond all measure” appears. He has done everything well, echoes the Septuagint wording of Gn 1:31. Once again, Jesus had done what only God could do (Ex 4:11). Verses can be found in Mark 7: 31-37.

Spiritual Plumbing Today, Pastor Michael has turned over the reigns to Duncan Crook, who has stood in for Michael a few times, and his message today is about…plumbing! Not our house's plumbing, of course, but spiritual plumbing.   Starting off, we have some ‘bad' news: You have no hope of unclogging your spiritual plumbing! The good news is that God desires to unclog that spiritual plumbing if you'll allow him to, and He will do it from the inside out! Duncan uses the plumbing analogy to explain a lot of things in Christendom and in Jesus' teachings.  And it starts with Duncan being called by Michael for clogged plumbing at the church.  So, Duncan went to the church and found the situation was exactly as he expected: clogged!  Duncan and Michael found the cleanouts and started to open them up; it wasn't pretty! And in the end, Michael and Duncan bandied about to see who could use this experience as a life experience in a lesson one day.  This sermon is the result of that. We all need to be sure that negative thoughts, attitudes, and other sins are sent ‘down the drain' to use the plumbing analogy.  This spiritual blockage in your heart holds you captive to the Devil's will. Roots can cause backups, spiritually and at your house.  Spiritual clogs are selfishness, bitterness, rejection, evil thoughts, and others that cause backups in our spiritual plumbing.   So, we must turn first to the Lord and acknowledge that we have a spiritual problem.  Then, we have to maintain our plumbing for it to work well; spiritually, this is the same!  But we have a professional we can turn to confession, repentance, and the Word of God will clear away any blockages because of what Jesus did for us on the cross. Verses can be found in Luke 6: 45, 1 Corinthians 11: 28, Philippians 2: 14, Numbers chapters 13 and 14, Psalm 37: 8, Ephesians 4: 26, Ephesians 4: 31, Psalms 51: 1-12, Psalm 139: 23-24, and Acts 3: 19.

The Goodness of God in an Unfair World Today, Pastor Michael is in Mark and speaking about the goodness of God is greater than the unfairness of the world.  Jesus only traveled outside of Israel a few times in His life.  This is one of those times.  He is in Tyre, a deeply Gentile place during His time; today, it's a city in Lebanon.   He enters the town quietly and goes into a house.  A lady comes into the house uninvited.  Lots of flags going off here, as she was a lady, a Gentile, and a Syrophoenician (a Phoenician from Syria), so this lady was NOT the typical person that would approach a rabbi. This woman is shouting and talking about how her daughter needs healing from an evil spirit.  She needed a miracle this day.  The woman had heard that Jesus was in town and did everything she could do to get to Him!   The lady falls at the feet of Jesus and calls him Lord, a big deal, and recognizes him as such.  She also called Him the Son of David, a very powerful title!  She recognizes him as Lord and Messiah. Jesus says to the woman, “Let the children be fed first, because it isn't right to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs.”  This is an easily offensive statement at the time because dogs were unclean. This wasn't an insult but, rather, a test. The lady replied back, “Lord, even the dogs under the table eat the children's crumbs.” Jesus replies to her, “Because of this reply, you may go. The demon has left your daughter.” She believed the goodness of God was greater than the unfairness she had received.   Will you trust God when life is unfair? (CSB Study Bible Notes) His words, because of this reply in Matthew's account focuses on the greatness of the woman's faith (Mt 15:28). Verses can be found in Mark 7: 24-30.

Traditions Versus Your Heart. Today, Pastor Michael is talking about the Pharisees, the “Separate Ones.”  These days, the word Pharisee is synonymous with hypocrite, but in their day, they were well respected.  And the Pharisees had a tradition of washing their hands after returning from the Market.  The problem with their rituals was that they felt those that didn't conform to their practices were "under" the Pharisees.  So, being typical Pharisees, they have to point out that some of Jesus' disciples were eating with what they perceived as “unclean” hands.  And, naturally, they had to point this out to Jesus, who quickly shut that down, referring to the Pharisees as hypocrites, essentially letting them know, their traditions were good but their hearts: not so much.   Don't settle for tradition, when the truth is there! Mark 7:4-9 (CSB Study Bible Notes) 7:3-4 These verses are an explanatory parenthesis. This is Mark's only reference to the Jews as a group. The tradition of the elders (cp. vv. 5,8-9,13) refers to oral traditions that had grown up around the written law. Such traditions became the heart of rabbinic Judaism. Apparently, when the Pharisees returned from the marketplace they did more than just ritually wash their hands; they thoroughly purified themselves. 7:5 Jesus replied in v. 8 that the tradition of the elders is merely “human tradition.” 7:6-7 The word for hypocrites refers to an actor who hid behind a mask. Thus the word means “pretender.” Jesus's quotation from Is 29:13 clearly defined what a hypocrite was and focused on God's condemnation of those who taught doctrines of human commands. 7:8-9 Jesus accused the scribes and Pharisees of abandoning the command of God while keeping human tradition. They made their oral traditions more important than God's law. Verses can be found in Mark 7: 1-23.

The Convict and The King. Today, Pastor Michael is talking about Easter.  Resurrection Sunday.  And he feels in his heart that the Lord is leading him to ‘tell a story'.   So, this is the story of the convict and the king.  A pair of bright eyes set in a face that was probably handsome many years ago but today, he's showing that he's had a hard life.  He's trying to remain calm but he sees the iron spike about to be driven into his wrist, on the cross and knows the pain is about to start.  His name is not truly known but he is known in history as the penitent thief. He was on a cross, as was another thief, the impenitent thief, to the left and right of Jesus on Golgotha.  Yet with what little life he had left, the penitent thief exclaimed to the crowd, Luke 23:41-43 (CSB) We are punished justly, because we're getting back what we deserve for the things we did, but this man has done nothing wrong.” 42 Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.” 43 And he said to him, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise.” Jesus gave His life; He was not executed.  He gave His life for all of us. After finishing His mission, Jesus committed himself into His Father's hands and breathed His last. No one took His life from Him. He gave it freely. (CSB Study Bible Notes) 23:40-43 In the midst of this display of unbelief and mockery, the other criminal came to understand the difference between his own guilt and Jesus's innocence (this man has done nothing wrong). He also realized that Jesus was the Messiah and asked to take part in his coming kingdom. Jesus assured him that, after death, he would immediately be reunited with him in paradise (eternal life beyond the grave; see 2Co 12:4). Verses can be found in Luke 23: 32-43.

Palm Sunday Today, Pastor Michael is in the story of Jesus where some things are being set into motion.  Folks are worshipping Jesus at this point, His disciples likely feeling like folks are understanding his message and rolling out the red carpet, so to speak.  The welcome one would normally give to royalty. Palm Sunday, the Sunday before Easter.  It gets its name from people laying down palm fronds (i.e. becoming the ‘red carpet') for a grand entrance.  Jesus and His Disciples stopped at Bethphage and Bethany.  This is the only time in the bible that Jesus isn't walking but actually riding a colt.  Jesus, riding the colt, and His disciples started the descent from the Mt of Olives into Jerusalem, while followers shouted Hosanna, praising Him as the Messiah.   The prophecy continues as Jesus arrives on a lowly donkey as an invitation to those that will humble themselves.  Luke 19:29-34 (CSB Study Bible Notes) 19:29 Bethphage and Bethany were small villages near the road from Jericho to Jerusalem. Bethany, the hometown of Lazarus, Mary, and Martha (Jn 11:1) was only two miles east of Jerusalem, just over the Mount of Olives, a ridge across the Kidron Valley from the temple in Jerusalem. The two . . . disciples are not named in any of the Gospels. 19:30-34 Religious or political leaders in that time often borrowed property (a young donkey) for a short time, as here. Matthew 21:7 says that the mother donkey was also commandeered. This action fulfilled the prophecy of Zch 9:9: “Daughter Jerusalem . . . your King is coming to you . . . humble and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.” Verses can be found in Mark 11, John 12, Luke 19, and Matthew 21.   Scripture quotations marked CSB have been taken from the Christian Standard Bible®, Copyright © 2017 by Holman Bible Publishers.

Food and Walking on Water. Today, Pastor Michael is following up on the “Feeding of the Five Thousand”.  Jesus and His Disciples were in the woods and the whole point of being in the wilderness area was to get some rest.  But the crowd followed them!  And during this time, Jesus feed well over 5,000 from just the meager leftovers of someone's lunch! So, here is this miracle-working man that can feed us every day!  If he were a king, he could feed us every day!  Let's make this man a king! But, they wanted to make him king for all the wrong reasons!   When the evening came, the boat with the disciples was in the sea and they were paddling like crazy and getting nowhere!  They looked out and saw that He who had created water could walk on it! The disciples all saw Him and were frightened, thinking He was a ghost, but Jesus spoke to them. When Jesus got into the boat, the wind flat-out stopped. The disciples were amazed because they failed to learn from the miracle of the loaves. Their hearts were hardened. These miracles coming this close together should have reminded them that Jesus is the Son of God who has power over everything. He can create food; He can walk on water!   Mark 6:50-52 (CSB Study Bible Notes) 6:50 Jesus reassured the disciples with two commands: Have courage and don't be afraid. The words it is I are literally “I am” (Gk Egō Eimi), the divine name of God in Ex 3:14 (cp. Is 41:4; 43:10-11; 48:12). Jesus did what God alone could do and used God's name to identify himself. 6:51 In 4:35-41 the wind ceased when Jesus commanded it to stop; here it stopped when he got into the boat . . . Astounded was the usual reaction to Jesus's power (cp. 1:22,27; 2:12; 5:15,20,42). 6:52 Mark diagnosed a twofold problem: the disciples had not understood and their hearts were hardened. Hard hearts (spiritual insensitivity) characterized the Pharisees at the synagogue in Capernaum (3:5). Verses can be found in Mark 6: 45-52 and Matthew 14: 1-12.

The Potter's Wheel. Today, Pastor Michael is turning over the reigns to Billy Huneycutt, who gave incredible lessons last year in July (“More and More”), October (“Come, Follow Me”), and December (“Is This Boat Gonna Sink?”).   His signature piece, though, would have to be “The Potter's Wheel,” which he last did for us way back in December 2021. This is a piece that audio alone cannot do justice to.  And even more so this time, as we had an issue with our microphones, it was a lesson in patience :).   There is a YouTube video posted of Billy's last performance of the Potter's Wheel in December of 2021.  Look it up, and it'll add a lot of background information to the story Billy is trying to tell. Next week, Pastor Michael is back in Mark, Chapter 6, so study up!

We've talked about the history of microchips, transistors, and other chip makers. Today we're going to talk about Intel in a little more detail.  Intel is short for Integrated Electronics. They were founded in 1968 by Robert Noyce and Gordon Moore. Noyce was an Iowa kid who went off to MIT to get a PhD in physics in 1953. He went off to join the Shockley Semiconductor Lab to join up with William Shockley who'd developed the transistor as a means of bringing a solid-state alternative to vacuum tubes in computers and amplifiers. Shockley became erratic after he won the Nobel Prize and 8 of the researchers left, now known as the “traitorous eight.”  Between them came over 60 companies, including Intel - but first they went on to create a new company called Fairchild Semiconductor where Noyce invented the monolithic integrated circuit in 1959, or a single chip that contains multiple transistors.  After 10 years at Fairchild, Noyce joined up with coworker and fellow traitor Gordon Moore. Moore had gotten his PhD in chemistry from Caltech and had made an observation while at Fairchild that the number of transistors, resistors, diodes, or capacitors in an integrated circuit was doubling every year and so coined Moore's Law, that it would continue to to do so. They wanted to make semiconductor memory cheaper and more practical. They needed money to continue their research. Arthur Rock had helped them find a home at Fairchild when they left Shockley and helped them raise $2.5 million in backing in a couple of days.  The first day of the company, Andy Grove joined them from Fairchild. He'd fled the Hungarian revolution in the 50s and gotten a PhD in chemical engineering at the University of California, Berkeley. Then came Leslie Vadász, another Hungarian emigrant. Funding and money coming in from sales allowed them to hire some of the best in the business. People like Ted Hoff , Federico Faggin, and Stan Mazor. That first year they released 64-bit static random-access memory in the 3101 chip, doubling what was on the market as well as the 3301 read-only memory chip, and the 1101. Then DRAM, or dynamic random-access memory in the 1103 in 1970, which became the bestselling chip within the first couple of years. Armed with a lineup of chips and an explosion of companies that wanted to buy the chips, they went public within 2 years of being founded. 1971 saw Dov Frohman develop erasable programmable read-only memory, or EPROM, while working on a different problem. This meant they could reprogram chips using ultraviolet light and electricity. In 1971 they also created the Intel 4004 chip, which was started in 1969 when a calculator manufacturer out of Japan ask them to develop 12 different chips. Instead they made one that could do all of the tasks of the 12, outperforming the ENIAC from 1946 and so the era of the microprocessor was born. And instead of taking up a basement at a university lab, it took up an eight of an inch by a sixth of an inch to hold a whopping 2,300 transistors. The chip didn't contribute a ton to the bottom line of the company, but they'd built the first true microprocessor, which would eventually be what they were known for. Instead they were making DRAM chips. But then came the 8008 in 1972, ushering in an 8-bit CPU. The memory chips were being used by other companies developing their own processors but they knew how and the Computer Terminal Corporation was looking to develop what was a trend for a hot minute, called programmable terminals. And given the doubling of speeds those gave way to microcomputers within just a few years. The Intel 8080 was a 2 MHz chip that became the basis of the Altair 8800, SOL-20, and IMSAI 8080. By then Motorola, Zilog, and MOS Technology were hot on their heals releasing the Z80 and 6802 processors. But Gary Kildall wrote CP/M, one of the first operating systems, initially for the 8080 prior to porting it to other chips. Sales had been good and Intel had been growing. By 1979 they saw the future was in chips and opened a new office in Haifa, Israiel, where they designed the 8088, which clocked in at 4.77 MHz. IBM chose this chip to be used in the original IBM Personal Computer. IBM was going to use an 8-bit chip, but the team at Microsoft talked them into going with the 16-bit 8088 and thus created the foundation of what would become the Wintel or Intel architecture, or x86, which would dominate the personal computer market for the next 40 years. One reason IBM trusted Intel is that they had proven to be innovators. They had effectively invented the integrated circuit, then the microprocessor, then coined Moore's Law, and by 1980 had built a 15,000 person company capable of shipping product in large quantities. They were intentional about culture, looking for openness, distributed decision making, and trading off bureaucracy for figuring out cool stuff. That IBM decision to use that Intel chip is one of the most impactful in the entire history of personal computers. Based on Microsoft DOS and then Windows being able to run on the architecture, nearly every laptop and desktop would run on that original 8088/86 architecture. Based on the standards, Intel and Microsoft would both market that their products ran not only on those IBM PCs but also on any PC using the same architecture and so IBM's hold on the computing world would slowly wither. On the back of all these chips, revenue shot past $1 billion for the first time in 1983. IBM bought 12 percent of the company in 1982 and thus gave them the Big Blue seal of approval, something important event today. And the hits kept on coming with the 286 to 486 chips coming along during the 1980s. Intel brought the 80286 to market and it was used in the IBM PC AT in 1984. This new chip brought new ways to manage addresses, the first that could do memory management, and the first Intel chip where we saw protected mode so we could get virtual memory and multi-tasking.  All of this was made possible with over a hundred thousand transistors. At the time the original Mac used a Motorola 68000 but the sales were sluggish while they flourished at IBM and slowly we saw the rise of the companies cloning the IBM architecture, like Compaq. Still using those Intel chips.  Jerry Sanders had actually left Fairchild a little before Noyce and Moore to found AMD and ended up cloning the instructions in the 80286, after entering into a technology exchange agreement with Intel. This led to AMD making the chips at volume and selling them on the open market. AMD would go on to fast-follow Intel for decades. The 80386 would go on to simply be known as the Intel 386, with over 275,000 transistors. It was launched in 1985, but we didn't see a lot of companies use them until the early 1990s. The 486 came in 1989. Now we were up to a million transistors as well as a math coprocessor. We were 50 times faster than the 4004 that had come out less than 20 years earlier.  I don't want to take anything away from the phenomenal run of research and development at Intel during this time but the chips and cores and amazing developments were on autopilot. The 80s also saw them invest half a billion in reinvigorating their manufacturing plants. With quality manufacturing allowing for a new era of printing chips, the 90s were just as good to Intel. I like to think of this as the Pentium decade with the first Pentium in 1993. 32-bit here we come. Revenues jumped 50 percent that year closing in on $9 billion. Intel had been running an advertising campaign around Intel Inside. This represented a shift from the IBM PC to the Intel. The Pentium Pro came in 1995 and we'd crossed 5 million transistors in each chip. And the brand equity was rising fast. More importantly, so was revenue. 1996 saw revenues pass $20 billion. The personal computer was showing up in homes and on desks across the world and most had Intel Inside - in fact we'd gone from Intel inside to Pentium Inside. 1997 brought us the Pentium II with over 7 million transistors, the Xeon came in 1998 for servers, and 1999 Pentium III. By 2000 they introduced the first gigahertz processor at Intel and they announced the next generation after Pentium: Itanium, finally moving the world to the 64 bit processor.  As processor speeds slowed they were able to bring multi-core processors and massive parallelism out of the hallowed halls of research and to the desktop computer in 2005. 2006 saw Intel go from just Windows to the Mac. And we got 45 nanometer logic technology in 2006 using hafnium-based high-k for transistor gates represented a shift from the silicon-gated transistors of the 60s and allowed them to move to hundreds of millions of transistors packed into a single chip. i3, i5, i7, an on. The chips now have over a couple hundred million transistors per core with 8 cores on a chip potentially putting us over 1.7 or 1.8 transistors per chip. Microsoft, IBM, Apple, and so many others went through huge growth and sales jumps then retreated dealing with how to run a company of the size they suddenly became. This led each to invest heavily into ending a lost decade effectively with R&D - like when IBM built the S/360 or Apple developed the iMac and then iPod. Intel's strategy had been research and development. Build amazing products and they sold. Bigger, faster, better. The focus had been on power. But mobile devices were starting to take the market by storm. And the ARM chip was more popular on those because with a reduced set of instructions they could use less power and be a bit more versatile.  Intel coined Moore's Law. They know that if they don't find ways to pack more and more transistors into smaller and smaller spaces then someone else will. And while they haven't been huge in the RISC-based System on a Chip space, they do continue to release new products and look for the right product-market fit. Just like they did when they went from more DRAM and SRAM to producing the types of chips that made them into a powerhouse. And on the back of a steadily rising revenue stream that's now over $77 billion they seem poised to be able to whether any storm. Not only on the back of R&D but also some of the best manufacturing in the industry.  Chips today are so powerful and small and contain the whole computer from the era of those Pentiums. Just as that 4004 chip contained a whole ENIAC. This gives us a nearly limitless canvas to design software. Machine learning on a SoC expands the reach of what that software can process. Technology is moving so fast in part because of the amazing work done at places like Intel, AMD, and ARM. Maybe that positronic brain that Asimov promised us isn't as far off as it seems. But then, I thought that in the 90s as well so I guess we'll see.        

Feeding Hungry Souls Today, Pastor Michael is talking of how Jesus was taking a retreat with the apostles, all of them essentially worn out from a ton of preaching, taking them to a deserted place for some recharge time.  Wouldn't you know it?  When they arrived, there were already many folks waiting for them!  A bunch of folks!  Jesus looked out over the crowd and felt empathy, a group of lost wanderers with no sense of direction—a deep hunger for “more”; a sheep without a shepherd.   Jesus speaks to them about life, redemption, peace, and meaning.  He preaches for hours, but the crowd is getting hungry, a perfectly reasonable thing to happen.  The disciples start doing the math on how much it will take to feed the masses and come up short, as in seriously short!  They return to Jesus and inform Him they can only provide some with what they have.  Yet, they forgot the team they were on; they've seen miracles and are so hung up on what they thought they needed and didn't have that they lost sight of what they DID have.  Jesus told them to inventory what they DID have; they had five loaves of bread and two fish.  Not a lot. From that minuscule amount of bread and fish to work with, Jesus took that and blessed the food and started handing it out.  And He handed it out to over 5,000 people, and they were fed. So Jesus miraculously created twelve fish and bread baskets, and no one went hungry!   It's not really about the fish and bread, it's about feeding souls.  What Jesus really had to offer was Himself! (CSB Study Bible Notes) 6:44 A total of five thousand men were fed. Mark's word (Gk) andres (“males”) is gender specific. Matthew adds “besides women and children” (Mt 14:21) which mean that considerably more than five thousand people were fed. Verses can be found today in Mark 6:30 - 44.

The Original Jesus Freak! Today, Pastor Michael is continuing our journey in Mark.  Jesus, at this time, was traveling, preaching, and gaining quite a following. Unfortunately, Jesus has gotten Herod's attention, and Herod has mixed Jesus up with John the Baptist.  The Herod here is Herod Antipas, son of Herod the Great, so you have the backstory in this complicated story.  The story itself is beyond reality television but suffice it to say, there's a marriage involved, a divorce involved, and a whole bunch of hurt feelings.  Herodias hated John and demanded that Herod put him to death because John called her out for a marriage that wasn't legit.  Herod didn't think this was right, feeling that John the Baptist was divinely inspired and a true prophet, so he just put him in jail instead of killing him. This didn't, of course, satisfy the wrath of Herodias, and she plotted to have Salome perform a provocative dance. Of course, Herod did not mind the dance, Salome being his stepdaughter, niece, step-niece, etc. (I told you it was insanely complicated!) Herod, at this point, says to Salome that he will grant her anything. But, she replies, she wants the head of John the Baptist right now! John the Baptist, meanwhile, was a man who knew where his faith was when the executioner came.  When the executioners brought John's head in on a platter, it looked like the good guys had lost.  John was dead, and the conspirers were alive; is that fair? A few short years after this, Herod and Herodias were banished to Gaul and never heard from again.  John the Baptist's legacy lives on.  In the grand story of history, who had the more significant impact?  John won in history.   Living for Jesus may mean you take a hit on this earth, but you may change the trajectory of many by your obedience.  Mark 6:17-18 (CSB Study Bible Notes) 6:16-17 Herod's belief that Jesus was John the Baptist resurrected prompted him to reflect fearfully on the one he had beheaded (see Josephus, Ant., 18.5.2). John was imprisoned (1:14) on account of Herodias. Herodias was formerly married to Herod's half-brother, Herod Philip, and had a daughter with him named Salome. Herod Antipas convinced Herodias to leave Philip and marry him instead.  To clear the way, Herod Antipas had to divorce his own wife. 6:18 John the Baptist repeatedly condemned this marriage as not lawful (Lv 18:16; 20:21).

Disciple! Today, Pastor Michael is talking about the Twelve Disciples spreading the Good News.   It's not easy to share it, not knowing who to share it with, but we are disciples making disciples, as the twelve were so many millennia ago.   Jesus sent out the disciples, two by two.  So everyone had a buddy.  Back in those days, under Jewish law there was a requirement for two witnesses for a testimony to be verified.  So, in modern terms, try to have someone that you can talk the Gospel with, share your Christian walk with and study together.  Jesus made us for community.   Jesus told them to take nothing for the journey; it was a minimalist event, to be sure.  All but empty-handed, they were sent out to make disciples.  They were also told to stay at people's houses; this was a hospitality culture.  Folks in those days would take in strangers, a situation that has pretty much changed these days.  And Jesus mentioned not to go house hopping, either.   Finally, Jesus allowed that if they were not welcome, to shake the dust off their feet and leave.  That was a cultural metaphor, the Orthodox Jews in those days, when they walked through Gentile territory, would shake their shoes off at the border.  And they were preaching folks about repentance.  Something folks don't readily accept, but it's merely realizing you're on the wrong road.   So, who are YOU sharing life with?  Who can YOU share the Good News of Jesus Christ with?  If we are making disciples, are you being discipled? And, who are you discipling?  We believe reaching people is more important than serving our comforts and our preferences.   Thanks to Tony Hicks for his powerful testimony! (CSB Study Bible Notes) 6:12-13 That people should repent was the content of their preaching, modeling the messages of John the Baptist (1:4) and Jesus (1:15). The ministry of the Twelve is summarized as preaching and teaching (6:30), exorcism, and healing. Anointing sick people with oil is mentioned here, in a parable in Lk 10:34, and in Jms 5:14.   Verses can be found today in Mark 6: 7-12, Ecclesiastes 4: 9-12, and Matthew 28: 18-20.   Scripture quotations marked CSB have been taken from the Christian Standard Bible®, Copyright © 2017 by Holman Bible Publishers.

Jesus Is More! Today, Pastor Michael is back in Mark after a hiatus over the holidays.  Mark is one of the Gospels, each one of which has a different viewpoint on Jesus' story.  Matthew—Gives an overall view. Mark—Fast paced, action oriented, close up. Luke—Detailed, intimate look. John—overarching, high level view, where Jesus fits into history. Michael's opinion is that Mark is a great place for anyone to start reading the Bible at, especially since Mark was a protege of Peter.  And we're pretty sure Mark is from Peter's viewpoint. So, with that introduction, we find Jesus back in his hometown of Nazareth, speaking at a synagogue.  Now you'd think, being in the hometown hood, he'd be well received, the folks happy to see him. Not! Folks were actually ‘astonished' at His words, some even feeling offended. To the point that they called Jesus, ‘Son of Mary', about a big a dig as one could get in those days, as folks were called sons of their father.   So it was readily apparent that Jesus still had the home town crowd in the holding a grudge of sorts as to his beginnings being suspect.  Clearly, people did not (and still do not) respect you in your hometown.   Israel in those days had a big thing apparently, for false prophets.  Those type of prophets would tell them what they wanted to hear, not what they needed changed and cleaned up.  The true prophets were actually ridiculed.  As an example, look at the treatments of Isaiah and Jeremiah.   Which brings up the point, what really is a prophet?  A prophet is someone who gives a message from the Lord.  These messages may or may not be predictive, but a lot of people associate prophets with predictive prophesy.  Prophecy does not simply seek to predict the future, but can also change the present.  So was Jesus a prophet?  No, He was much more than a prophet.  The teachings and miracles that surrounded Jesus proved he wasn't sent from God; He is God. To those determined to not believe, they will hold on to their own ways.  No evidence is enough, even to be raised from the dead.  So Jesus left Nazareth and went to where he was wanted.   Jesus is more.  Jesus is more than a man.  More than a good teacher.  More than a prophet. Jesus is God. (CSB Baker Illustrated Bible Study Notes) Surprisingly, Jesus is not a celebrity in Nazareth as he is elsewhere in Galilee, but people were “offended by him” (or, he was a “stumbling block,” 6:3). This repeats Mark's insider-outsider motif: those we should expect to believe in Jesus do not, and those we should not expect to believe in him do. The return to Nazareth ends with Jesus “amazed at their unbelief” (6:6). The greatest hindrance to faith is not sinfulness but hardness of heart. Verses can be found today in Mark 6: 1-7.

Seeking Jesus.  Today, Pastor Michael is turning over the reigns to Billy Huneycutt and the message today is about seeking Jesus.   Today we are concentrating on “seeking” and “Jesus”.   And we find Billy covering Jesus where a huge crowd is converging on Him, with Jairus, a synagogue leader, pleading earnestly with him, to put His hands on his daughter so that she will live and be healed.   This is important because synagogue leaders didn't trust Jesus and here is a leader of a synagogue and he lies prostrate to Jesus, crying out for help for his daughter.  He sought after Jesus wholeheartedly and his need was great. And a woman was there, who was subject to bleeding for 12 years.  It was against the law for her to be in public.  Crazy rules in those days, huh?  Immediately her bleeding was stopped and she was freed from her suffering.  She felt in her body that she was free from her suffering.  Mark 5:21-26 (CSB Study Bible Notes) The intertwined miracles involving Jairus's daughter and the bleeding woman occur in all three Synoptic Gospels (cp. Mt 9:18-26; Lk 8:40-56). Both miracles involved uncleanness. 5:21 The other side refers to the western side of the Sea of Galilee. Mark has already recorded key ministry events by the sea (1:16-20; 2:13-15; 4:1-34). Mark's description of Jesus's return is virtually identical to that given in 4:1 before he crossed the lake. 5:22-23 Synagogue leaders such as Jairus were respected laymen responsible for synagogue oversight and activities. Fell at his feet and begged him earnestly shows Jairus's desperate concern for his little daughter. Luke recorded that she was his only daughter (Lk 8:42). The ruler's request lay your hands on her shows awareness of Jesus's method in other healings (1:31,41; 6:5; 7:32; 8:23,25). Jairus's word for get well also means “be saved.” The same word was used of the woman in v. 28 and in Jesus's proclamation in v. 34. 5:24-26 The implication is that the woman suffering from bleeding, making her unclean according to OT law (Lv 15:19-33). That this had gone on for twelve years (cp. v. 42) and she had been treated by many doctors but not helped at all indicates an illness that was beyond the help of current medicine. Furthermore, she was financially depleted—she had spent everything she had. Verses can be found today in Matthew 6: 33 and Mark 5: 21.

Nothing Energizes Like Purpose! Today, Pastor Michael is continuing our study on “overflow”.  Today's topic that ties into overflow is energy.  Energy is a strange thing: when you're young you have time and energy and no money.  When you're retired you have money (hopefully!) and time but no energy!  And then there's that “in-between” time, when you're raising your family and you have no time, no energy and no money!   Where do we get energy? There are plenty of worldly ways: caffeine, exercise, good diet.  But the spiritual side of energizing power is called “purpose”.  When we have purpose it energizes us.   And the ultimate source of purpose?  Almighty God!  Trust in the Lord to give you purpose and He will give you meaning and direction.   (CSB Study Bible Notes) God not only had strength, but he distributed that strength to his people. The criterion for receiving God's strength was not youth but trust. Those who trusted God would have an unlimited source of strength. Verses can be found today in Isaiah 40: 30-31 and 1 Kings 19.

Oil and Treasure (also known as:  Blessed to Be a Blessing!) Today, Pastor Michael is looking at the Principle of Overflow.  This is rooted in the 23rd Psalm at verse 5, where we hear, “my cup overflows”. This is a symbolic meaning of how God blesses us beyond our capacity.  What do we overflow with?  Joy and peace come to mind immediately.  Last week we talked about time.  Today we are exploring what we would love to have too much of: resources (money for example).  Is there such a thing as too much money?  Too many resources?  Resources come in all types but to have too much of them is both a rarity and a blessing.  We have a hard time recognizing when we have an overflow.    Especially an overflow of resources. Now, Michael is talking about olive oil and how it was used for practically everything and was an everyday provision back in biblical times. Oil was mixed with fragrances and used to annoint people on special occasions.  To be anointed was to be in the Lord's favor.   Examining verse five, one way to look at this is, if you could put your blessings in a cup, they would run over the top. Goodness and mercy will be following you always, and you will spend eternity with God. That's the ultimate blessing! So, knowing that you can say, you are blessed in order to be a blessing!  And God is worthy of our trust, regardless of the overflow or shortfall! (CSB Study Bible Notes) In Jewish society oil was a symbol for rejoicing (104:15) and was also used in the welcoming of guests (45:7; 92:10; Lk 7:46). Verses can be found today in Psalms 23: 1-6.  Proverbs 21: 20. Scripture quotations marked CSB have been taken from the Christian Standard Bible®, Copyright © 2017 by Holman Bible Publishers.

Happy New Year! Today, Pastor Michael is starting off our New Year with a throwback to a responsorial reading of the Bible.  Michael is reading the 23rd Psalm, likely the most famous verse in the Bible and our church audience reads back to him.  Psalms 23 (CSB) 1 The LORD is my shepherd; I have what I need. 2 He lets me lie down in green pastures; he leads me beside quiet waters. 3 He renews my life; he leads me along the right paths for his name's sake. 4 Even when I go through the darkest valley, I fear no danger, for you are with me; your rod and your staff — they comfort me. 5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. 6 Only goodness and faithful love will pursue me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD as long as I live. Michael is concentrating on verse 5. What about those days when our cup (money, time or energy) isn't overflowing?  The only way to sustainably  give to others is to have a cup that is overflowing.  We need to rethink and realign how we think of ‘giving of ourselves'.  When we share something of ourselves, there is an ‘outflow'.  That's a good thing, a wonderful thing. So, we're going to talk about overflowing in a study over the next few weeks.  The categories we'll cover are: time, resources and energy.  Today, we're covering ‘time'. Time.  Time seems to be (and actually is, in fact) different in speed; sometimes fast…sometimes slow.  Like when you're having fun and doing things you love: time flies.  But try something you don't like and time stands still, it seems.  Einstein's ‘Special Theory of Relativity' states that the rate that time passes depends on your frame of reference.  The point is, time isn't the same! So with that preamble out of the way, we find Michael in Luke talking about Jesus telling the story of a man going from Jerusalem to Jericho.  Robbers attacked the poor guy and left him half dead on the side of the road.  A priest was walking down the same road and went to the other side, so he didn't have to help the poor guy.  A Levite, walking down the same road, did the exact same thing.  Talk about not helpful, jeesh!   But a Samaritan saw the poor guy and helped him, bandaging his wounds, taking him to an inn and even paying the innkeeper money to help the poor guy.  The definition of a good neighbor!  And a Good Samaritan, too! God gives us opportunities to help others like this; as the Samaritan did.  Do we always take the time to help?   Do we have an overflowing cup, as this message started out with?  We need that to align prioritizing our time. Would we have time to give to the thing God wants us to do or is our schedule full?    When you make God a priority and give Him your time, studying the Bible, spending time in prayer and making time for your spiritual connection with Him, you'll find that cup will get filled back up! (CSB Study Bible Notes) The road from Jerusalem to Jericho, a distance of seventeen miles with a descent of more than three thousand feet in elevation, was a dangerous route through desert country. It had many places where robbers could lie in wait. It is possible that the priest and the Levite . . . passed by on the other side of the road because they thought the wounded man was dead and they would become ritually unclean by touching him, but it is more likely that they were afraid of being attacked by the same robbers or simply did not want to be bothered with the inconvenience of helping the man.

It's Christmas! Today, Pastor Michael is all about Christmas and he's piggybacking off the story of the Grinch's heart.   In our culture, today, we use the heart for a lot of emotive responses. In the Hebrew culture of Ezekiel, they didn't express emotions via the heart, they used the bowels (whoa!). The Bible uses the heart as the center of the intellect; not emotional responses.  When the Lord tells us we are going to get a new heart, He's giving us a new way of thinking, understanding and how to respond.   So true change of heart is more than an emotional switch. Michael also brings up a fantastic point about hardness of our own hearts, towards others.  “Hardness in your heart will never create softness in another person's heart.  It'll just hurt you more”.   (CSB Study Bible Notes) 36:26 The statement I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you reflects the teaching of Dt 30:6-8—that the Lord will circumcise the hearts of his people so they may live in obedience. This radical new creation (Ezk 11:19; 18:31; Jr 31:31-34) was necessary to break the people's bondage to the cycle of sin and retribution emphasized in Ezk 20. Regeneration is a secret act of God by which he imparts new spiritual life to dead hearts. Verses can be found today in Ezekiel 36: 26-27.

Family.   Today, Pastor Michael is in Genesis and talking about creation, family and people needing other people.   People need meaningful, social interaction.   Our culture, in the pandemic, has moved towards more social disconnection and social isolation.  People need people and interactions with other people; God made us to be familial and social.  If you don't have that family, you still have more family in God's family!  And at ReCreate, we are one church, under God! Nobody has to be home alone! (CSB Baker Illustrated Bible Study Notes) God's compassion reaches to those whom society often forgets: the orphans, the widows, the lonely, the poor, and the women who remain at home.

Deviled Ham! Today, Pastor Michael is back in Mark and discussing a man the odds were against.  His life was so messed up, he didn't have a devil's eggs chance of making it through a Baptist pot luck.  His problems look absolutely impossible to overcome.  Then he met the God of possibilities! We find Jesus and His disciples have landed in a region noted as the Gerasenes (Decapolis) and it is important to know that this region was populated by Gentiles.  They get out of the boat and meet a guy that was in a desperate condition.  He had been restrained by chains and continually broke them and spent his time in caves (tombs).  Essentially a mad man.  As it turns out, he was demon-possessed.  He runs to Jesus and Jesus asks him, “What is your name?”.  He answered, “My name is Legion, we are many”.  Legion was a unit of the Roman Army, some 6,000 strong.  So this is an indication there wasn't one evil spirit in this man but a BUNCH of them! These spirits knew they were facing the Son of God.  They asked Him to be cast out of the man and went into a herd of pigs that ran off a cliff and drowned.  The crazy duality here is that the demons asked to be cast into the pigs (an alternative to the bottomless pit) and that Jesus allowed that.  If nothing else it shows the grace Jesus has even for Satan's demons.  (CSB Baker Illustrated Bible Study Notes) A legion in the Roman army consisted of nearly six thousand soldiers; the attribution of “Legion” to the demoniac may suggest that his demonic oppression rivals the force and domination of the Roman army in the Decapolis (5:9). The superhuman strength and explosive terror of the demoniac are no contest for the Son of God, however, whom the demoniac recognizes in Jesus, and to whom he pleads for clemency (5:7). The demons acquiesce to Jesus's superior authority but beg not to be banished from the region (5:10). There is a measure of grace even in Jesus's judgment of Satan's minions, for he consents to their plea. Verses can be found today in Mark 5: 1-20.

Is This Boat Gonna Sink? Today, Pastor Michael is letting Billy Honeycutt talk about Mark Chapter 4.  Billy is chatting, in the beginning ,about a video with a bear that we had to trim out for DRM (digital rights management) but is available at Preview YouTube video The Preacher And The Bear - Strolling Down Memory LaneThe Preacher And The Bear - Strolling Down Memory Lane.  Billy is taking about faith and how its more real when we're getting squeezed by a bear, so listeners may want to take a gander at that video. Jesus was speaking here with parables but when he was alone with the disciples, he explained everything.  This is where the message starts.   That day, Jesus said, “Let's go over to the other side” and his disciples did that.  While on the boat, a squall came up and Jesus was on the stern, sleeping.  His disciples woke him up, telling him they were afraid.  Jesus calmed the storm and the disciples were amazed, yet still frightened; mostly about how He could calm a storm.  Isn't that crazy, how 2,000 years ago folks were scared how He could calm a storm and today we'd likely be most appreciative of Him saving our necks!   (CSB Baker Illustrated Bible Study Notes) At the word of Jesus, calm replaces chaos. Ironically, the disciples are more terrified by the power of Jesus than by the terror of the storm (4:41). “Who then is this?” they ask. This is the question not only before the disciples but also before Mark's readers: will their experience of Jesus lead to faith (4:40) or to fear and doubt?

Small Seed, Big Tree. Today, Pastor Michael is talking about something small becoming something BIG.  We're back to parables, big ideas = common themes. At the time Jesus spoke, folks knew about mustard seeds and plants.  Today: not so much, but the story / parable still is strong.  So, Jesus is speaking here, in Mark 4: 30, about mustard seeds and speaking in hyperbole.  The mustard seed isn't the smallest seed in the world but it was the smallest seed planted in Israel in those days.  The exact ‘size' of the seed, not really that important here: it's the core concept of something surprisingly big coming from something surprising small. And herein, ReCreate Church is the church that grew from a small seed!  But is a big tree, in helping others! (CSB Baker Illustrated Bible Study Notes) 4:30–32. The final parable stresses the contrast between the insignificant beginning and inconceivable end of a mustard seed. The OT celebrates the mighty cedar as a symbol of God's power and splendor (Ps 80:10; Zch 11:2; Jr 22:23). Jesus, however, likens the kingdom of God to a mustard seed, so small that it is practically invisible (4:30–31). From insignificance and obscurity, God's kingdom grows into a bush or tree that provides refuge for “the birds of the sky”—which may imply the inclusion of all the nations in God's coming kingdom (4:32).

In this episode, we're discussing two different cases, the disappearances of Monique Daniels and Jhessye Shockley. Both are very similar cases but with very different outcomes. Monique Daniels, a 15-year-old from Moore, Oklahoma, disappeared in 1992. In 2011 5-year-old Jhessye Shockley disappeared from Arizona. The parents of both victims were charged and convicted on child abuse charges. Join Mike and Morf as they discuss these two cases. In both, suspicion was cast on a parent and/or stepparent, and siblings told the authorities very damaging information. But, only in the case of Jhessye Shockley was a murder conviction obtained. Even though many people believe that the mother and stepfather of Monique Daniels were involved somehow in her disappearance, to date, neither has been charged with murder.
