This sermon from Mark 3:1-6 focuses on Jesus healing a man with a withered hand in the synagogue while religious leaders watched to accuse Him of breaking Sabbath law. The pastor explores how we can be geographically close to Jesus yet miss Him entirely, like the Pharisees did. The withered hand represents not just physical limitation but spiritual atrophy - areas of our lives that have slowly deteriorated through neglect, unresolved wounds, or disappointment. The message challenges believers to examine what they've learned to tolerate instead of bringing to God for restoration. Jesus' anger at the religious leaders' hardened hearts demonstrates that compassion should never be muted by rules or traditions. The sermon calls for moving toward hurting people rather than creating divisions, and trusting God to restore what has withered in our lives.

This sermon explores Mark 2:13-22, focusing on Jesus calling Levi (Matthew) the tax collector and the subsequent dinner party at his house. The pastor uses three analogies to explain Jesus' mission: He is the physician who came to heal the sick (sinners), the bridegroom who brings joy and celebration, and the one who brings something entirely new rather than patching up the old religious system. The message emphasizes that Jesus specializes in calling rejects and outcasts, that Christianity should be characterized by joy rather than religious drudgery, and that following Christ requires leaving everything behind for a new life. The sermon concludes with communion and an altar call, encouraging both salvation decisions and renewed commitment to finding joy in relationship with Christ rather than in religious performance.
