    Now after the Sabbath, toward the dawn of the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to see the tomb. And behold, there was a great earthquake, for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled back the stone and sa

    If you’ve ever been to our Anglican seminary - Moore College in Newtown - you may have also visited its unusual chapel, known as the Cash Chapel (named after the guy who donated it, rather than how it was paid for). Now, when people set up a church building, they tend to design it with the ...read more

    Jesus told his disciples (and us) to have salt within us, and peace between us.

    John said to him, "Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, and we tried to stop him, because he was not following us." But Jesus said, "Do not stop him; for no one who does a deed of power in my name will be able soon afterward to speak evil of me. Whoever is not against us is ...read more

    Our Part And God's Part In Seeing A Spiritual Harvest

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Oct 21, 2008

     | 7,777 views

    Do our modern evangelistic techniques match up to God’s plan?

    - I don’t recall ever hearing a sermon on this passage, which is ironic because when you dig into it, it’s a pretty important one. Harvest Job Assignments: Our job is to sow seeds and bring in the harvest; God’s job is the growth. - Mark 4:26-29. A. We sow seed. - Going back to the four soils ...read more

    Faith sometimes begins by stuffing your ears with cotton!

    Only Believe Mark 5:21-24, 35-43 Mark 5:21-24 21 When Jesus had again crossed over by boat to the other side of the lake, a large crowd gathered around him while he was by the lake. 22 Then one of the synagogue rulers, named Jairus, came there.

    On a close inspection of our life what do we find. Have my years of privileged & opportunity through my sin & indifference has carried me future & further from God?

    Where Are The Figs? Mk. 12:11-21 Many are like that famous painting of olden time, in which the artist depicted what seemed at a distance a holy friar with a book before him,, and his hands crossed in devotion, looking like a saint indeed, but when you came close to the venerable impostor, you ...read more

    Why Should We Witness?

    "Conduct yourselves with wisdom toward outsiders, making the most of the opportunity. Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned, as it were, with salt, so that you may know how you should respond to each person," (Col. 4:5-6).

    Have you ever asked yourself, "Why should I witness?" Several reasons should come to mind. First, because Jesus commands you to: "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit," (Matt. 28:19). Also, Ezek. 3:11 says, "and ...read more

     | 3,857 views

    In today's section of Mark, we see the desperation of two individuals who believed that Jesus could help them. Their faith in Jesus led them to humbly come to Him for help. Their faith was rewarded and our faith in Jesus will be rewarded as well.

I read a story about a little girl named Tess went to her bedroom one day and pulled her glass jelly jar bank from its hiding place in the closet. 1, She poured all the change out on the floor and counted it carefully. a.

    Breaking The Silence (Advent 2 2023)

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Dec 8, 2023
     | 1,600 views

    All four of the Gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John speak of the ministry of the John the Baptizer who is the messenger who prepares the way for Jesus. A second reason that John’s arrival is such a big deal is because there had not been any prophets for 400 years.

    BREAKING THE SILENCE Text: Mark 1:1 - 8 Mark 1:1-11 The beginning of the good news of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. (2) As it is written in the prophet Isaiah, "See, I am sending my messenger ahead of you, who will prepare your way; (3) the voice of one crying out in the wilderness: ...read more

    We need to tell Satan to get out of our lives when he is there trying to tempt us because we are doing Christ’s will for our lives.

    Get Behind Me Satan Out of all of the disciples, I think I like Peter the best. He reminds me a lot of myself. Peter always had good intentions, but his mouth was always getting him in trouble with Jesus. I am the same way. I speak before I think and end up sticking my foot in my mouth. ...read more

    based on 11 ratings
     | 30,281 views

    Living a successful Christian life isn't complicated nor does living a life that pleases God does not have to be complex. Christ simplified or summarized what it takes into two steps which if we follow will lead us to living a successful Christian life.

    Two Steps to a Successful Christian Life Mark 12:28-34 Living a successful Christian life isn't complicated. I am not saying that it is easy but it doesn't have to be convoluted with a long list of do's and don'ts.

    The Darkest Day Series

     | 7,214 views

    The death of Jesus Christ is at the same time the deepest darkest day in human history and the beginning of the most promising era in human history. Though the physical agony great, the spiritual agony was even greater for our Lord.

    Mark chapter 15 contains three main elements—the time before Pilate, the crucifixion, and the burial. All of Jesus’ life and His entire three-year public ministry focused toward this point. It is mankind’s darkest hour but is the beginning of a turning point in the history of the ...read more

    Showing kindness to others is not only God’s command, but it also is the character of God. Perform acts of kindness toward strangers who cannot repay you and do it in Jesus’ name instead of your own.

    Dealing with issues? Go to the source.

    Many people, even Christians have issues in their life that if left unattended will lead them to a mediocre life or to certain catastrophe. Sometimes we think that God is to busy to involve himself with our issues (Verse 25 says; " this woman had an issue for twelve years") #1). Say issues. ...read more
