Greetings, and may grace, mercy, and peace be multiplied to you. We will be in several passages this morning as Pastor Doug preaches. Why is the church struggling? Jesus warned Peter and the other apostles that it would be a rough start once He left for Heaven. Many would take off and scatter under fear of persecution. But others, including Peter, stood faithful to the great commission so that the Church would grow and people would be saved. If you have received Christ, God has called you in some capacity to serve the church. We might not all be teachers or preachers, but we are all to support one another. 

“Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Matthew 28 19-20

Greetings, and may grace, mercy, and peace be multiplied to you. We will be in Galatians 1 today. This week, Pastor Keith was out this week, and so I, Zac Link, have a message for you instead. The way we live our lives presents a living Gospel. I’ve Identified 3 types of Christians that present a false Gospel to the world. The extremist, the bystander, and the compromiser. Each one damages the Gospel message in some way that prevents the world from hearing the truth. As Christians, the way we live our lives should be like the way Jesus did. What kind of Gospel are you presenting?

Greetings, and may grace, mercy, and peace be multiplied to you. We will be in John 6 today. After Jesus had fed over 5,000 men using a boy's lunch, some of His disciples only had food in their mind. Jesus' point wasn't to be fed physically, but spiritually. This is why they were really confused when Jesus started talking about eating His body and drinking His blood. Jesus wasn't advocating cannibalism, He was speaking metaphorically, and if we want to be imitators of Christ, we must eat His body and drink HIs blood in communion.

“Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Matthew 28 19-20

Greetings, and may grace, mercy, and peace be multiplied to you. We will continue in Mark 4 today. Last week we talked about sowing seeds for the purpose of people hearing the Gospel. The result of sowing those seeds changes lives, sparks movements, and builds up the church. But it the farmer doesn't sow those seeds, how can he expect a harvest? Are you expecting a harvest by sowing seeds, or by doing nothing?

Greetings, and may grace, mercy, and peace be multiplied to you. We will be in Mark 4 today. In this chapter, Jesus gives the parable of the sower and the seed. Our success depends on where we sow the seeds. Too often, we sow our seeds in the safe walls of the church, and barely yield anything. Jesus wants us to sow further than that, because that will yield much more, even if it's only 30 fold. 

“Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Matthew 28 19-20

Greetings, and may grace, mercy, and peace be multiplied to you. We will continue in Mark 3 today. After choosing his disciples, the Pharisees were trying to discredit Jesus by saying that He has a demon. But Jesus quickly retorted that Satan doesn't cast himself out. What Jesus does is through the power of God, and because of that, each of us has a purpose for His plan. Your exact purpose might be something small in your community, or something that has worldwide implications. Regardless, your purpose is important for the Gospel.

Greetings, and may grace, mercy, and peace be multiplied to you. We will be in Mark 3 today with a quick recap of last week. Is it really that hard to do good to people? The Pharisees were making a big deal about Jesus healing on the sabbath (which was completely lawful), because it violated their set of rules. Since when is it wrong to do good to others? This world is cold, and the last thing it needs is cold hearted Christians keeping to themselves because they don’t want to upset people, or they want to maintain the status quo. Jesus commanded us to love one another, and an easy way to do that is by doing good to one another. 

“Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Matthew 28 19-20

Greetings, and may grace, mercy, and peace be multiplied to you. We will finish up Mark 2 today. The Pharisees were famous for taking the Law that God gave to Moses and the Israelites, and turning it into something that God never intended. One example is when the Pharisees (who weren’t fair, you see), hassled the apostles for picking grain on the Sabbath because they were hungry. God didn’t give us the law to burden us or punish us, but to free us from the burden of sin. We need the Sabbath so that we’re not stuck working 7 days a week. So even though Chic-Fil-A is closed on Sunday, you can still make a sandwich without feeling guilty. When the law is applied wrong, we end up living a miserable life constantly worrying about sin. But when it’s applied correctly, that’s when redemption and healing can happen.

Greetings, and may grace, mercy, and peace be multiplied to you. We continue in Mark 1 today as well as chapter 2. Jesus stirred up quite a bit of controversy in His ministry. The Pharisees were looking for a Messiah that would enforce rules, overthrow governments, and cast judgment. Jesus did the opposite by healing the sick, forgiving sin, hanging out with the lowest of low, and breaking traditions created by man. Jesus doesn't want a religious system, He wants a relationship. He doesn't desire traditions, He desires faith. The new way of life is not compatible with the old way.

Greetings, and may grace, mercy, and peace be multiplied to you. We will be in Mark 1 today. This Gospel was unique in that it was written by a boy that was closely associated with the apostles years later. Because of this, chapter 1 is filled with several quick stories. One of the first stories after his baptism is that of Jesus being tempted in the wilderness. God allowed this so that He could prepare Jesus for ministry. We face struggles and temptations everyday, and if you aren’t struggling with something, are you even living your life for Jesus?

“Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Matthew 28 19-20
