This featured sermon comes from Sunday, October 17, 2021.How can one man's death 2000 years ago affect me? When James and John go to Jesus and to ask Him to be at his left and right hand in his glory, they did not understand. Jesus asked them if they could drink from the cup that he drinks. But when Jesus spoke about his glory, it meant his death. And cup is a metaphor for suffering.

Jesus' death has no affect unless his death kills everything in us that’s killing us. That's our cross. And that's the cross Jesus is asking his disciplines to pick up. Life and death swirl together in the cup. The cup of salvation also has with it the cup of death. Jesus gave his life as ransom for many and asks us to pick up the cross and carry it all the way. Are you able to drink the cup?

This featured sermon comes from Sunday, October 10, 2021. What's in it for me? In the gospel lesson today, the disciple Peter wants to know. He wants to know what's in it for him -- what's in it for them to follow Jesus. He tells Peter that the first shall be last and the last shall be first in the kingdom of God, in eternal life.

This featured sermon comes from Sunday, October 3, 2021. There is DIVINE INTENT. The way God wants it to be. And then there is HUMAN REALITY. These two concepts are illustrated in the first words of the Bible, in the book of Genesis. In this gospel lesson, Pastor Randy tells us that Jesus, in his time, recognized human reality but did not give up on the idea of God's divine intent. The church should be a place to help bridge that gap -- the church should be a place of welcome, acceptance, and healing. That gap is bridged by grace.

This featured sermon comes from Sunday, September 26, 2021. This week's message comes directly after the events of last week's message. Jesus told his disciples that they didn’t get it.  It's not about the greatness they were thinking about. He told them -- if you want to be first, you have to be last. You need to be child-like, so innocent, you need to be like that to serve the lost and marginalized.  

Jesus then turns the volume and the tone up with his disciples. And the urgency of his teaching was rising as they get closer to Jerusalem. John goes to Jesus and tells him that they saw someone casting out demons in Jesus name. Jesus said don't stop him. "For no one who does a deed of power in my name, will soon there after be able to speak evil of me."

This featured sermon comes from Sunday, September 19, 2021. In this gospel message, Pastor Randy tell us about Jesus and the 12 disciples on their way to Jerusalem, teaching them that when He is gone, it will be their responsibility to continue His teachings. But they did not understand what He was saying. And they were afraid to ask.

During one teaching, He take a child in his arms and says, "whoever welcomes one such child in my name, welcomes me. And whoever welcomes me, welcomes not me, but the one who sent me." This child has nothing to offer and that child is a stand-in for everyone who has nothing. His arms are open to all, even those with nothing.

This featured sermon comes from Sunday, September 12, 2021. In this lesson, we revisit the reading from Mark from the previous week and but also Pastor Randy tells us how we can better understand the word of God. As long as we pray, are persistent, and follow the breadcrumbs, much like the gentile woman who visited Jesus to heal her daughter -- we will always feel the presence of Jesus and his grace.

This featured sermon comes from Sunday, September 5, 2021. A woman, a mother, is at her wit’s end. Her daughter is ill, perhaps struggling with seizures, or a form of mental illness, or bouts of temper. The woman believes her daughter to be possessed by a demon. So she goes to Jesus, even though she is a gentile and is not allowed to speak to him -- as Jesus was a Jewish Rabbi. She continues to be persistent and begs Jesus to help her child. Nothing and no one can stop her. She won't take no for an answer.

This featured sermon comes from Sunday, August 29, 2021. “Why is it that your followers don't wash their hands before they eat?" Jesus took to task the Pharisees and scribes for their ideas of “purity” and their judgment of those who did not conform to their standards of piety. Purity comes from within, from the state of the heart. Not from ritual behavior. Let's get back to the heart of the matter. Jesus says it's not about what we do, even though what we do can be helpful. What's important is what comes from the heart.

This featured sermon comes from Sunday, August 22, 2021. How we eat is how we live. And we live in a hurry. Because we live in a hurry, we eat in a hurry. In the gospel lesson, Jesus tells us that we should chew slowly. And he wants us to chew slowly on his word. In this message, Pastor Randy completes the Bread of Life discourse.

This featured sermon comes from Sunday, August 15, 2021. In this message, guest preacher Rev. Jonathan Glass-Riley presents a sermon about a subject that we all have to deal with a some point in our lives. Death. Grieving. And how we continue to go on living. How does a family recover? What does a community do to heal. Because when grief changes our world, how do we take our next breath? How do we put one foot in front of the other. And what it means to survive, and to thrive, and to love in new ways? 

Rev. Jonathan Glass-Riley is the senior pastor at Lakewood Baptist Church in Lakewood, OH
