    Called To Be A Blessing Bearer

    Contributed by Martin Ellgar on Oct 28, 2014
     | 7,839 views

    A perspective on Matthew 28: 16-20. It is easy from the Christian perspective to see the blessing bearer solely as Jesus who was to come. It means more than that. You also have been called to be a blessing bearer in the name of God.

    Matthew 28:16-20 Called To Be A Blessing Bearer A strong thread that weaves through today’s readings is God’s call to be a blessing bearer. The words are different from situation to situation in the readings, but they continue to express the call to be a blessing bearer. To begin, the ...read more

    The Wedding Garment

    Contributed by Martin Ellgar on Oct 30, 2014
     | 12,857 views

    A perspective on Matthew 22: 1-14. The cloak of righteousness shows us that we have been placed in a position of honour in the family, in the kingdom of heaven.

    Matthew 22: 1-14 The Wedding Garment At times Jesus spoke in parables. Parables begin as earthly stories, speaking about things we are familiar with, like a wedding banquet. There is a twist to the story that can turn up side down our familiar understanding and reveal something new. They end with ...read more

    Listen To God And Walk On Water

    Contributed by Martin Ellgar on Oct 30, 2014
    based on 3 ratings
     | 8,885 views

    A perspective on Matthew 14: 22-33. Like Peter, we are so often distracted by the voice and terrors of our own storm in life. At times we feel we are sinking, about to loose everything about us.

    Matthew 14: 22-33 LISTEN TO GOD AND WALK ON WATER Written exams and tests are generally run like a competition. The teacher at school or the lecturer at university or your employer sets the work before you, and you know that at the end of it there will be a small prize or a pat on the back to ...read more

    Contributed by Martin Ellgar on Nov 1, 2014
     | 3,589 views

    A perspective on Mark 1: 1-8 When you find yourself again having a wilderness experience, listen to the voice of the one crying in the wilderness: Prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.”

    Mark 1: 1-8 The Big Bang Of Good News One motor enthusiast has short-listed four cars in a recent AA magazine and one of those will be voted the car of the 20th century. Short listed are: the Model T-Ford, the VW beetle, the Mini-Minor, and the Porsche 911. All have been selected for different ...read more

    Jesus The Man-Hunter

    Contributed by Martin Ellgar on Nov 1, 2014
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,210 views

    A perspective on Mark 1: 29-39 When the word goes out that someone is missing, will you follow Jesus in the manhunt? Or, do you remain where you are? If you do the later, is it because you are still lost?

    Mark 1: 29-39 JESUS THE MAN-HUNTER Theme: God seeks the lost. All of God’s creation is adversely affected by human sin. This is easily seen when an oil spill in the ocean traps various sea life and threatens its existence. A poorly maintained ship can leak engine oil into the water as it ...read more

    The Crowd That Didn’t Follow Jesus

    Contributed by Martin Ellgar on Nov 1, 2014
    based on 4 ratings
     | 8,111 views

    A perspective on Mark 5: 21-43. If we are serious about restoring our own life and the life of this congregation then we need to hear the reports about Jesus healing others.

    Mark 5: 21-43 The Crowd That Didn’t Follow Jesus There are three miracles in today’s Gospel text. Can you name them? 1. The woman with the issue of blood healed. 2. Jairus’ daughter raised. 3. And perhaps, “The crowd that did not follow Jesus.” Can you imagine the ...read more

    God At The Market Place

    Contributed by Martin Ellgar on Nov 1, 2014
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,124 views

    A perspective on Mark 7: 1-23. When a trivial matter becomes a big issue more than likely we are following the ‘traditions of men’. Our focus therefore is on the wrong thing because we have forgotten God and do not have God’s love in our hearts.

    Mark 7: 1-23 God At The Market Place The closing of chapter 6 is also the introduction to chapter 7 and our Gospel text. In which Jesus and his disciples have crossed Lake Galilee to the land at Gennesaret on the north-western bank of the lake. Gennesaret was a small, but a very fertile plain rich ...read more

    On The Way With Jesus

    Contributed by Martin Ellgar on Nov 7, 2014
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,815 views

    A perspective on Mark 8: 27-38. Our text today marks the end of Jesus’ Galilean ministry and the beginning of his journey to Jerusalem. It describes a transition period, a time of reflection, a time of learning, a time to gather strength and move on.

    Mark 8: 27-38 ON THE WAY WITH JESUS When we look through the Gospel of Mark we find our text in the middle of his Gospel. He has put it there for a reason. Our text today marks the end of Jesus’ Galilean ministry and the beginning of his journey to Jerusalem. It describes a transition ...read more

    The Road To Victory

    Contributed by Martin Ellgar on Nov 7, 2014
     | 5,705 views

    A perspective on Mark 8: 31-38. St. Mark points out in his Gospel that there is another way to glory and that is the way of Christ. Therefore, what does the ‘way of Christ’ mean, and what does being a disciple mean ?

    Mark 8: 31-38 The Road To Victory Nobody enjoys the pain of losing. We long for glory and the freedom from being a plain person living a plain life. As a result we all strive to align ourselves with winners or at least potential winners. We are willing to give praise and support to winners. In ...read more

     | 4,008 views

    A perspective on Mark 10: 17-31. God is calling us all to enter into his training schedule. He is our new coach our new trainer who will change our practices and habits.

    Mark 10: 17-31 More For Less The Sydney 2000 Olympic games have drawn to a close. My family and I were fortunate to see part of the Olympic games on TV while we were away on vacation.

    At The Right Hand Of God

    Contributed by Martin Ellgar on Nov 8, 2014
    based on 1 rating
     | 9,216 views

    A perspective on Mark 10: 35-45. But what are our reactions, our thoughts, and our feelings towards these two audacious characters James and John?

    Mark 10: 35-45 At The Right Hand Of God How should we think about James and John, the sons of Zebedee? How should we think about the day they went to Jesus and said to him: “Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we ask of you.” And when Jesus answered, “What is it you want ...read more

    A Jubilee Year

    Contributed by Martin Ellgar on Nov 16, 2014
     | 9,682 views

    A perspective on Luke 4: 14-21. The Jubilee year has no end since forgiveness and renewed life continues to be freely given by Jesus.

    Luke 4: 14-21 A Jubilee Year The writer of this Gospel, Luke has gone to great length and detail in the first three chapters to inform the reader of the exact identity of Jesus. He begins with the story of the miraculous birth of Jesus and shows his impeccable genealogy through the ages to Adam, ...read more

     | 7,607 views

    A perspective on Luke 5: 1-11. How does one give their life to Jesus? There is only one step. Listen to the Word of God. The rest is up to Jesus.

    Luke 5: 1-11 A Risky Business We have heard in our text a fishing story, the failures and success of catching fish. When we look at our picture with Jesus in the fishing boat it appears as if his hands have just cast out the net. But his net is one to catch the shoal of people that have gathered ...read more

    A perspective on Luke 7: 1-10. The text is primarily dealing with the theme of discipleship that is, how to live a good live according to Jesus. The centurion is a clear example of such a life; he is like a fruitful tree within his community.
