WE APOLOGIZE FOR THE POOR AUDIO QUALITY ... and we have corrected the issue for future recordings. Thanks!

Was it "nice" that Jesus gave us this ritual of Communion? In the narrative presented in Mark, there is a mystery surrounding the events. This mystery brings us to an unexpected conclusion: Communion might be more uncomfortable than nice, and that may taint our view of Christ.

Was Jesus nice when he called us to serve one another? What did he mean by the foot-washing of the disciples? We take a look at service in this message ...

Is it nice that Jesus told his mother and brothers that those who do the Father's will are his mother and brothers ... What should we take of Jesus' words?

When Jesus calls out the Pharisees, we generally want to applaud, but did he address this in a manner that we would call nice? NOTE: The first 4-5 minutes of the sermon went unrecorded. Pastor Clint had been laying the groundwork talking about what a protagonist and an antagonist are in literature, and about how Jesus is our protagonist and the Pharisees (or anyone against him) is our antagonist. That's pretty much all you missed.

The cleansing of the Temple is a familiar story for many, but is Jesus nice when he goes about this important task? We explore this idea, and how we should live in light of Jesus' teaching.

Would a "nice" Jesus curse and kill a fig tree just because he was hungry and it was not time for figs to be harvested? Listen to one of the things that this story helps us to learn ...

The question begs to be asked: in our American society, people tend to think of Jesus as a "nice guy." But is he really that nice? Maybe ... but we should think about what we are saying!
