Ember Church Sunday Sermon

Podcast for Ember Church as we follow Jesus in Bellevue and beyond.

Important question: Are today’s Jesus-followers being/doing/living out what He said to? We are wrapping up our journey in the Book of Mark with a look at a series of events (involving a dying fig tree and some table flipping!) where Jesus shows us what it means to be His people in everyday life.

The Gospel of Mark takes us on a journey of hope as we learn about Jesus’ life-changing teachings, miracles, and ultimate death and resurrection. Today, Jesus is still the hope our souls are looking for.

Two stories in Mark 5 are told in such a way that we understand the amazing power of our God and the ways he can and does draw us into the power available to us as his followers.

The world in Mark’s time is changing, Christianity is under attack. He is pointing them to Jesus the King who is the messiah that Isaiah said would come and bring victory.

When Jesus asked some guys to follow Him, Mark 1:16 records that “immediately they left their [fishing] nets and followed Him.” What was it about Jesus that elicited that kind of response? What would make people suddenly get up and walk away from their lives to follow Him? This Sunday we are starting our study of the Book of Mark and how the power and presence of Jesus caused reactions in everyone He met.

With the world and church responding to the changes that have been brought upon us by Covid and civil unrest how do we as Christ followers participate in the mission of Jesus? Some interesting thoughts about what the church might look like in the future and some practical and life giving ways to serve Jesus.
