Luke 6:47-49, John 3:16, 1 John 3. Is your life built on a solid foundation, or on a shifting, unstable one? What did Jesus say was a solid foundation? In our continued Two Year Study of the Gospels, we now move from the Gospel of Mark into the Gospel of Luke, specifically taking a look at the Parables of Jesus. The first parable Pastor Dodge examines is the Parable of the Wise and Foolish Builders. Where we build, how we build and what we build with are important and the foundation makes all the difference. A solid foundation can withstand the storms that a house built on sand cannot. Today's parable demonstrates this profound truth: Jesus tells us if we come to Him and hear His Word and put those words into practice, it is like a wise man who dug down deep to get a solid foundation on the rock and when the storms of life came - that house stood strong. But the person who built quickly without a strong foundation, when the storms came that house was totally destroyed. We want to make sure our lives are anchored and founded on something that can never be shaken, that something is a Person, the Person is Jesus. We can't just hear the word of God we need to put it into practice, that's what it means to build on a solid foundation. What does a solid foundation look like? What is it build with? What does it mean to build on a solid foundation? 1. Humble heart    - Is where the solid foundation starts 2. Father's love    - The foundation is anchored in the Love of the Father. 3. Son's Lordship    - Jesus wants to be Lord of our lives - meaning He leads, guides and directs us. 4. Spirit's power    - The Spirit of God dwells within us so we are to live in the power and strength the Holy Spirit provides. 5. Grace and mercy    - We are to reflect to others the same grace and mercy we have received from God in our own lives. 6. Willing obedience    - We are called to listen to the Word and follow. God's Word determines truth. Let His truth guide our lives, let His scripture speak into the now, irrespective of what the world around us may be saying. These six building blocks build a solid foundation which will not crumble. Unless our lives are anchored on a solid foundation - The Foundation of the Living God - our lives will crumble. Which are you, a wise builder or a foolish builder? And what are you going to do about it? Additionally, Pastor shares excavation information under the Synagogue of Capernaum which is centuries old. This synagogue was built on the foundation stones of another synagogue named, “The Synagogue of Jesus,” which dates back 2000 years based on artifacts found in the excavation. https://www.awakeusnow.com The Parables of Jesus is part two of our Two Year Study of the Gospels. Jesus is known for telling some of the greatest stories ever told. In telling these stories He uses the form of a parable which is an earthly story with a heavenly meaning. Jesus' parables resonate in every culture and in every generation around the world. This study is great for large group. small group or home group Bible study.

Week 30 - Mark 15:40 - 16:8 (including 9-20). Death and burial of Jesus; The Resurrection; Women, the first witnesses to the Resurrection. In this study we finish the final chapter of Mark by taking a closer look at the women at the foot of Jesus' cross when he dies and the women who were on their way to anoint Jesus on Sunday morning and find Him gone and also a look at the woman who was the first to talk with Jesus after His resurrection. This look at these women brings some great insight into who these women were and takes a specific look at Mary of Bethany (Lazarus' sister) and Mary Magdalene with some exploration into them possibly being the same person. Pastor puts out the lay of the land, where specific houses were located and where the tomb was along with the look at the women and puts together the resurrection story using the accounts of all 4 gospels and unites them into one cohesive reconstruction of the events of Resurrection Sunday. Here's how Pastor takes Matthew, Mark, Luke and John and puts the pieces together: Scene 1: Very Early Sunday morning 1. Mary Magdalene, Mary (Clopas' wife) and Salome head to the tomb. 2. They see the open tomb and Mary Magdalene returns to town to tell Peter and John. Scene 2: Early Sunday morning 1. Joanna (& Susanna?) leave Hasmonean Palace for the tomb 2. Meeting Mary (Clopas' wife) and Salome, they enter tomb and see 2 angels 3. They return to town to tell the others Scene 3: Early Sunday morning 1. Peter and John run to the tomb. Mary Magdalene follows shortly thereafter. 2. Peter & John return home. Mary Magdalene lingers. Sees 2 angels. 3. Jesus appears to Mary Magdalene. (The first eyewitness to see Jesus after His resurrection). Scene 4: Sunday morning 1. Salome and Mary (Clopas' wife) and others head to tell the other disciples. 2. Jesus meets them on the way. Scene 5: Sunday afternoon/evening 1. Cleopas/Clopas and companion head to Emmaus. 2. Jesus meets them on the way 3. They return to upper room to meet disciples 4. Jesus shows up! The teaching time continues with the story of “Doubting” Thomas. And His words, “My Lord and My God!” Thomas understood that because Jesus was alive, He is who He claimed Himself to be AND He is the One whom the Scriptures claim Him to be: The Son of the Living God come to earth. Pastor ends with the story of Peter being asked 3 times by Jesus if he loves Him, and Peter being commissioned 3 times by Jesus to feed His sheep. Peter willingly committed his heart to Jesus and would willingly go to his death for his faith in Jesus some 30 years later. Peter was sold out for Christ. Will we too be sold out to Christ and follow Him with all our heart, all our soul, all our mind and all our strength? Will we love Him with everything we are? We close out this first of the 4 gospels with Jesus ascending to the Father and letting us know that He is with us always, even until the end of the age. The summary of Mark: God is amazing, He is an amazing Savior, and He does everything He says He's going to do! https://www.awakeusnow.com The Gospel of Mark is the first of the 4 Gospels we are studying. The book of Mark highlights and applies the fundamental teachings of the Biblical faith as encountered through the life and teachings of Jesus as written by Mark. This study is great for large group. small group or home group Bible study.

Mark 15:22-39. Roman crucifixion; meaning of INRI; Crucifixion in Old Testament prophecy; Sacrifice of Jesus. This study is an in depth look at Jesus' crucifixion on Golgotha (Calvary). Pastor shares pictures of the present area of Golgotha and the archeological discoveries that are happening. He explains the true nature of crucifixion: a most brutal, demeaning, ghastly, immoral, unholy, merciless, humiliating method of execution ever devised. One of the intentions of crucifixion being carried out in such a public place outside the city wall was so that many could see and the goal was to fill people/onlookers with fear. But we read in 1 John 4:18 “...perfect love drives out fear...” This verse shows us the very opposite of the actual intention. What does perfect love look like? Mark chapter 15 lets us know. Pastor finishes today's teaching with a look at Jesus' final words and describes the tearing of the curtain in great detail that brings a clearer understanding of this piece of the crucifixion story that changes everything in our relationship with God the Father. As today's study ends the curtains are “torn open” at the moment of Jesus' death giving full access to the presence of God and bringing the event full circle back around to Mark Chapter 1's description of the heaven's being “torn open” at Jesus baptism as The Father speaks, “This is My beloved Son.” The closing words of the chapter show us a picture of the measure of the Father's love for us through the sacrifice of His Son, Christ Jesus. And now we, like the Centurion say, “Sure this man was the Son of God!” Additional scripture - Psalm 22 https://www.awakeusnow.com The Gospel of Mark is the first of the 4 Gospels we are studying. The book of Mark highlights and applies the fundamental teachings of the Biblical faith as encountered through the life and teachings of Jesus as written by Mark. This study is great for large group. small group or home group Bible study.

Mark 15:1-21. Unjust accusations and punishment; Crucifixion; The Cross. If you ever doubt God cares, or if in the midst of difficult times you say, “Does God really care what I'm going through,” take a look at Mark 15. This chapter is short but it is powerful. It says loud and clear, here's how much He loves us: He stretched out His arms, and He took it all for you and for me. And that is the heart of the gospel story—because that gospel story is the heart of God. https://www.awakeusnow.com The Gospel of Mark is the first of the 4 Gospels we are studying. The book of Mark highlights and applies the fundamental teachings of the Biblical faith as encountered through the life and teachings of Jesus as written by Mark. This study is great for large group, small group or home group Bible study.

Mark 14:63-72. A look at Caiaphas the High Priest. Jesus: charged, tried, convicted and sentenced. Peter's denial. Pastor talks about repentance, and restoration and how God forgives anything and everything when we repent and He welcomes into His kingdom.

Mark 14:27-64. God offers us forgiveness and hope and meets our deepest needs in Jesus our Savior; The Lord's Supper and the “New Covenant in Christ's blood,” Blood of the Covenant; Betrayal, arrest and denial of Jesus; Jesus claims He is the Messiah and Son of God.

Mark 14:1-26. Jesus' anointing during the Festival of Unleavened Bread, the significance of this anointing and how it ties into a kingly anointing; observations that point to God being in control of every detail of the plan for Jesus, nothing was by chance and Pastor shows the consistent truth of the Bible; the betrayal of Jesus by Judas is set into place; Passover and its picture of Jesus as the Sacrificial Lamb; the Last Supper and the New Covenant; The Bread in the Middle - Jesus the Messiah; The 4 cups of Passover but Jesus stops with the 3rd and will not take the 4th cup until He returns; and an exploration of the hymn sung as they went out to the Mount of Olives.

Mark 13:19-31. The Last Days; Tribulation, Rapture, and the Second Coming; Pre-, Post-, and A-Millennialism; Be Awake! We do not need to fear. Jesus has left us warning so that we will be prepared, filled with the Holy Spirit and trusting in His promises.

Mark 13:1-19. Signs of the End; Jesus shares the warnings of the signs of the times not to scare us but to prepare us; the abomination that causes desolation; the Olivet Discourse; false Messiahs and prophets; preaching the Gospel; "Abomination of Desolation.”

Author Matt Lozano talks with Lisa Livezey and host Jacqueline HarperTempted to jump out a window when it comes to holiness? In this final episode of our Free to Be Holy book study, the author himself speaks!We discuss Chapter Seven where Matt invites us to learn from his own mistakes. He shares his personal backstory of realizing he had believed the enemy's lie. We learn what led Matt to write this book which he calls, “One of the graces of the pandemic.”Chapter Seven is an informal introduction to Unbound ministry – helping people expose deceptions that keep them in bondage, to practice the Five Keys, and to walk in freedom.If you've hit a wall while pursuing a lifestyle of holiness, ask the Holy Spirit, “Show me what I'm not seeing,” suggests Matt. The Holy Spirit can help us identify internal struggles, patterns of thinking and behaviors which reflect ways we aren't free.Hear a “Cliff-notes version” of Common Lies of the Enemy and know that God can take what the devil intended for destruction and turn it into great blessing,Our Free to Be Holy series ends with Matt speaking the last lines of his book as a prayer.

Mark 9:14-37. Week 15 topics: Faith & Prayer - the bridge between Man's Frailty and God's sufficiency; Who killed Jesus?; Which of us is the greatest?

He's Right Here!!Jenn hosts Neal and Lisa for a distinctive discussion during Week Three of our Free to Be Holy book study.Free to Be Holy means being “free to walk in holiness,” says Neal and “free to grow in holiness,” adds Lisa.One reason we fail is because we aren't free. Hear Neal's story about a prayer recipient exclaiming at The Father's Blessing, “He's right here! He was always right here!”Even when we mess up, Jesus is with us. He respects our free will, but is always there with the hope and the knowledge that we will yield. We discuss Matt's list of what God will do and won't do, followed by a beautiful story surrounding the one question God may ask at life's end: “Did you learn how to love?”Growth in holiness looks different for each individual, like spring flower bulbs that push up through dirt towards the light, each one displaying unique beauty.Trivia Quiz from this episode:1. What was Neal's original title for his book Unbound?2. What theological thought does Neal first remember having at age four?3.

Week 13 works through the verses from Mark 7:30 -8:32 with a focus on the stories of healing the blind and the deaf, the spiritual blindness and deafness as a consequence of hardened hearts and unbelief, and ends with Jesus asking His disciples, “Who do you say I am?”

On this Holy Thursday, we begin studying Matt Lozano's book Free to Be Holy.  What is Holiness? The Hebrew word kadosh translates as “set apart, sacred, holy.”  This applied to items used in the temple vessels and nothing made holy could be returned to ordinary service. Proper ritual allowed outward participation, but not interior restoration. Through Jesus, God removes our hearts of stone and gives us hearts of flesh.There are fascinating parallels between the purposes of blood in the human body and the work of Jesus' blood upon our soul. Blood animates, heals, and reproduces. Holiness is a lifestyle of making oneself available to God. We limit holiness by continuing to earn God's favor yet“We can't be holy without Jesus,” writes Matt.What isn't holiness? False approaches to holiness include: performance, out-of-reach holiness, and having false standards. When we put something above Jesus, we inevitably fail and can fall prey to the enemy's traps of shame, self-hatred, or pride. Escaping our sense of inferiority means putting off self-justification and pressing into Jesus. Our relationship with Christ is what we need to rely on. The Pharisees were so focused on Jesus actions that they missed Him – the Savior right in front of them.Deepening our walk in holiness means being available to Jesus. It's not just about what we avoid but what and Whom we embrace.Find Matt's book Free to Be HolyUse code FREE2B for 20% off of Free to Be Holy  through the remainder of Holy Thursday, March 28.See our upcoming eventsJoin us for our April Freedom in Christ Conference near PhiladelphiaRelease: March 2024Music by Christian HarperArtwork by Rosemary StrohmProduction by  Jacqueline Harper
