    This morning, we look at the very word “Messiah.” What does it mean? How did it become associated with the one whom Israel had placed her hope?

    Isaiah 61:1-3 Anointed One June 7, 2015 D. Marion Clark Introduction Jesus and his disciples are nearing Emmaus. He has taken the two disciples through the Scriptures, demonstrating how he has fulfilled them in regard to being the Messiah even as he was being crucified. He has bruised the head ...read more

    Contributed by D Marion Clark on Oct 3, 2016
    based on 1 rating
     | 8,576 views

    The story of Joseph is the display of the providential power of God to to accomplish his good purposes. Let’s consider what teaches about us teaches about us, about God, and what it all means for us.

    Genesis 37:12-36 Evil Intent, Good Intent 10/2/16 D. Marion Clark Introduction “As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good.” So Joseph assuages the fears of his brothers after the death of Jacob, and so he articulates the providence of God. The story of Joseph ...read more

  • A New Heart

    Contributed by D Marion Clark on Oct 5, 2016
     | 14,044 views

    Using God’s promises to the house of Israel for our model, we learn that God has promised us – those who call on Jesus’ name – a new start.

    Ezekiel 36:24-38 A New Heart 7/19/15 D. Marion Clark Introduction A few weeks ago a soloist sang for the prelude the song that we know as “Dem Bones.” I was struck by the rendition of it, which presents more than a funny children’s song, but gets the message across about the ...read more

    While you are alive, you have hope. There is no sin you have committed that you cannot be cleansed from. There are no failures that God cannot raise you from.

    Ezekiel 37:1-14 Raising Dry Bones 8/2/15 D. Marion Clark Introduction We move now to the valley of dry bones. Let's see what "dem bones" have to teach us. Text Verses 1-6 set the stage. The hand of the LORD was upon me, and he brought me out in the Spirit of the LORD and set me down in the ...read more

  • Joseph's Dream Series

    Contributed by D Marion Clark on Oct 5, 2016
     | 6,446 views

    Joseph and Mary had no say over the name of their first child. He was not named for anyone else, not for what character was hoped for him, but for the purpose for which he was born in the first place.

    Matthew 1:18-25 Joseph’s Dream 12/1/02 D. Marion Clark Introduction “What’s in a name?” so questions Juliet. There may be much in a name. Some of us are named after loved and respected family members. We carry in our name the remembrance of someone else. Others of us ...read more

  • The Magi's Sign

    based on 1 rating
     | 7,700 views

    Christmas is also about the gifts we are to offer in return, not to earn God's favor, but like the magi it is worth a life’s journey to follow whatever destinations may be given us to worship and to give our treasures to our Savior and our King.

    Matthew 2:1-12 The Magi’s Sign 12/8/02 D. Marion Clark Introduction “Twinkle, twinkle, little star, how I wonder what you are.” At least that is everyone’s concern about the star of Bethlehem. Of all the elements of the Christmas story, the visit of the magi who ...read more

  • Rachel's Sorrow

    Contributed by D Marion Clark on Oct 6, 2016
     | 7,602 views

    However crafty, however ruthless Herod might have been, he could be no more successful than his evil superior Satan. The Redeemer would come just as was planned, would live just as planned, and would die just as planned.

    Matthew 2:13-18 Rachel’s Sorrow 12/15/02 D. Marion Clark Introduction I do like our Live Nativity we put on at our church. We show the manger scene; we have a full inn, a market square retail booth, angels singing to shepherds, and a tax collector at his booth. We even have the three ...read more

  • Joseph's Dreams

    Contributed by D Marion Clark on Oct 6, 2016
     | 6,598 views

    When it comes to dreaming, many readers think Matthew is the dreamer by the way he uses Old Testament Scripture to back up his story. Is Matthew too anxious to justify his story that he twists Scripture to suit his purpose?

    Matthew 2:19-23 Joseph’s Dreams 12/22/02 D. Marion Clark Introduction Do you sometimes wake up tired because of vivid dreams? I imagine Joseph had that problem. Matthew records four dreams through which an angel of the Lord spoke to him. The first dream was to assure him that he could ...read more

  • True Treasure

     | 7,487 views

    If we seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness – if we seek first to be in his kingdom, and if we seek first to live for his kingdom and as citizens of his kingdom, well, the rest works out.

    Matthew 6:19-34 True Treasure 6/27/10e D. Marion Clark Introduction Earlier today we presented Phil and Lisa Ryken with an original painting by artist Makoto Fujimura. On that painting the artist wrote in gold lettering the very passage we are considering tonight, up to verse part of verse 26, ...read more

  • Worry And Giving

    Contributed by D Marion Clark on Oct 9, 2016
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,892 views

    If we honestly consider the subject of how we part with our money, we will discover much about ourselves. Our text has much to teach about how financial security affects our trust in God.

    Matthew 6:25-34 Worry and Giving 6/29/03 D. Marion Clark Introduction Some may say that “stewardship” is a code word for asking for money. I suppose that is true to a point. But if we honestly consider the subject of how we part with our money, we will discover much about ourselves. Our text ...read more

  • The Last Prophet

    Contributed by D Marion Clark on Oct 9, 2016
    based on 3 ratings
     | 6,467 views

    John’s message was “Repent!” So was Jesus’. Here is the distinction between the two. John urged repentance because he thought judgment was at hand. Jesus urged repentance because salvation was at hand.

    Matthew 11:2-6 The Last Prophet 2/8/15 D. Marion Clark Introduction What would it have been like to encounter Jesus in the flesh? To see him with your own eyes, hear his voice, witness his deeds, and listen to his teachings? What impact would he have had on you? Our new sermon series thinks ...read more

  • To The Heavy Laden

    Contributed by D Marion Clark on Oct 9, 2016
    based on 4 ratings
     | 12,950 views

    Faith in Jesus is what determines who will be accepted by God, who will recline at the table and who will be cast out. It is in response to Jesus in faith that he will give you rest.

    Matthew 11:25-30 To the Heavy Laden 8/2/09 D. Marion Clark Introduction Is there a more heart-warming passage than the verses we are considering this morning? Let me read Jesus’ invitation: Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 16,682 views

    It matters not your heritage nor your race nor anything in your background to be counted a son or daughter of Abraham. All that matters is your faith in Jesus Christ.

    Matthew 15:21-28 A Bold Woman 3/8/15 Introduction “Safe?” said Mr. Beaver. “Don’t you hear what Mrs. Beaver tells you? Who said anything about safe? ‘Course he isn’t safe. But he’s good. He’s the King, I tell you.” You perhaps recognize the quote from The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. Mr. ...read more

  • The Scandalized

    Contributed by D Marion Clark on Oct 9, 2016
     | 3,729 views

    They believed Jesus was a bad man. That is scary. How could one behold Jesus, hear him teach, witness his miracles, and then conclude that “He is possessed by Beelzebul”?

    Matthew 26:57-68 The Scandalized 2/29/04 D. Marion Clark Introduction Who is responsible for Jesus’ death? Judas bears guilt. He is the disciple who betrayed Jesus into the hands of his enemies. Peter and the other disciples bear guilt. They did not defend their Lord. Judas represents ...read more

     | 7,143 views

    The Messiah was rejected by his people, not merely by the powers to be. He had been rejected long before this day.

    Matthew 27:15-26 The Crowd 4/8/04MT D. Marion Clark Introduction We have been considering characters in the passion story asking the question, Who is responsible? Who is responsible for Jesus’ death? We’ve examined the roles that the disciples, the religious leaders, Herod, and Pilate each ...read more
