The Transfiguration of Our Lord
11/02/2018 Duração: 18minPeter, James, and John had traveled up a mountain with Jesus, just as Elisha had gone with Elijah. And suddenly, things change! Jesus is transfigured before them. His appearance changed. His clothes became radiant, intensely white; an unearthly white. There were no fiery chariots and horsemen from heaven -- instead, in this glory there appeared Elijah and Moses, and they were talking with Jesus. Mark doesn't tell us what they were talking about, but Luke does; they were talking about Jesus' departure, His Exodus.

Preaching the Kingdom of God
04/02/2018 Duração: 14minStop what you're doing, open your eyes, and hear the Ward of the Lord. The people in Galilee did. And as we heard last week, they were amazed and astonished. Yes, Isaiah, they heard the kingdom of God. They saw the kingdom of God. They saw, they heard, they believed. The kingdom of God was there. In Galilee. And then it was gone. The next morning He was gone. Everyone is looking for you, Simon told Jesus. But Jesus was not in the town. He was out in a desolate place. Praying.

Surprised by Such Love
28/01/2018 Duração: 17minSome people like surprises; some people don't. Some people like everything orderly and planned out and thought through; some like to just go out and see what happens. Some people don't like when the unexpected happens; for others, it brings spice and excitement to life. So it was that day in the synagogue in Capernaum. The people went to church that day expecting the expected, the usual order, the normal teaching and kind of teaching. But what they got was astonished and amazed.

The Fisher of Men
21/01/2018 Duração: 17minWho was the first fisherman of men? Was it Simon? Was it Andrew? Mark, in his usual pithy way, makes it sound like Jesus called them together, at the same time. The answer I want to tell you is that the first fisher of a man wasn't even a man! That the first fisher of a man was the great fish that fished Jonah out of the sea and swallowed him, after Johnah refused to go to Nineveh and preach the Word God told him to preach.

Baptized for a Greater Life
14/01/2018 Duração: 17minImagine if our president, who as president has full power to completely pardon anyone he wants, went to the highest security prison we have. The place were they lock up the worst of the worst, the really bad criminals. He appears there one day with a pile of pardons. And all who come and confess may have one. But don't deny your sin. Don't tell him you're innocent and have been locked up wrongfully. If you do, no pardon for you. What do you think would happen?

At the End of the Journey
07/01/2018 Duração: 13minHave you ever wondered what made the wise men go? Why, the star, you say. Of course. But why did they follow it? They had it all figured out. They saw this star and they figured out what it meant -- that the king of the Jews had been born. So, case closed. But no. They go. They pack up their stuff, take their treasures, and follow this star. And at the end of their journey, they taste and see that the Lord is good.
