    Are You Related To Jesus?

    Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on May 12, 2024
     | 927 views

    The words that Jesus spoke as recorded in our text for today sound quite strange and may be strange for a Mother's Day sermon. Somehow it seems out of character for Jesus to say what He did. But He had a purpose.

    Alba 5-12-2024 ARE YOU REATED TO JESUS? Mark 3:31-35 Mother’s Day is a special time for us to honor mothers. That is a good thing to do. And hopefully, we honor them all year long, not just on this holiday. Sadly, many of us do not realize how good our mother was until she has passed on and ...read more

    For a long time, many skeptics and atheists have stated that David is a mythical character invented by the Jews. But recent archaeological discoveries have proven otherwise. My trip to Israel in January 2016 brought new revelations. David is God's Man.

    Being a genuine disciple of Christ is a very tall order. We are to live in such a way that reflects His character and grace. How is that possible? We must pattern our lives after Christ. We are challenged to imitate the Lord we serve.

    The Challenge through Discipleship 2 Timothy 1: 12-14 As we consider discipleship, and our responsibility to follow Christ while investing in others, the Lord Himself stands as the great example. He was fully surrendered to the Father’s will and spent much of His time investing in the ...read more

    Sometimes success hits our head and we rashly do things that are contrary to our character. Anybody listening? We need a pinch of failure, pain and humiliation NOW AND THEN in order to keep us grounded in God and His ways. Agree?

    God has brought a charge against His people, and the charge is the same that He brings to us today. Their religion and their worship had become nothing but emptiness and meaningless rituals. All of it had become unrelated to their character and unrelated to their daily life.

    They were deeply religious. They were very faithful in performing the acts of worship, but they were empty and meaningless. They had no affect whatsoever on the character of those who worship and on their daily walk and activities. As we go through this life serving God, we need to be careful not ...read more

    A call to worship begins with a return to understanding that we worship a holy God. The realization of God’s character and holiness reveals our true self. His majesty is life-changing and gives meaning to our life, despite our shame.
