Mark 5:21 - 43

1. Jairus has faith and Jesus responded to that faith.

2. The woman wanted a touch and go moment with Jesus.

3. Jesus is saying "My priority in the midst of all this, which is my purpose, is to set you free and I have the power to do it!"

My order of priorities reflects the level of my commitment to Christ. Whoever or whatever is in the first place, if it isn't the Lord Jesus, is in the wrong place! - Chuck Swindoll

Mark 5:1-20

Mark 4:35 - 41

1. This storm was bad enough to rattle the pros, the guys that had made a living on these waters

2. When their external circumstances felt chaotic, they doubted the love and provision of Jesus.

3. There is nothing scarier than a storm that can kill you, EXCEPT for a man who controls storms that can kill you!

You will never know the fullness of Christ until you know the emptiness of everything but Christ. - Charles Spurgeon

Sunday 2/2/25

Pastor Glenn Meadows

1. Everyone in the early church had seen or been touched by the ministry of Jesus.

2. Imagine sitting around a table and sharing a meal with a group of people who loved you unconditionally and whose lives had been changed in the same way as yours.

3. When communion feels like an obligation rather than a life-changing necessity, we need to take a look at our spiritual life.

The purpose of the Lord's Supper is to receive from Christ the nourishment and strength and hope and joy that come from feasting our souls on all that He purchased from us on the cross, especially His own fellowship. -John Piper

Growing Together
1 John 2:12-14; Hebrews 10:19-25

1. All believers have equality in Christ. (1 John 2:12)
    (Psalm 103:12; John 13:33; 1 Corinthians 12:22)
2. All believers are to experience spiritual growth. (1 John2:13-14)
    (1 Corinthians 3:1; Philippians 3:13-15)
3. Believers grow through relationships (Hebrews 10:19-25)

Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and know God. Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love. In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only son into the world, so that we might live through him. In this love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. (1 John 4:7-11)
