August 20, 2018 8/19/18 - "Who Do You Say I Am: Week 5" - Colossians 1:15-23 - Rev. Wes Hunter
Over the last four weeks, we've looked at different aspects of Jesus' identity. Everybody who encountered Jesus recognized that he was a wise teacher. Many recognized him as a prophet. When he calls himself the "bread of life," he makes a claim that many people can't accept. And when he claims the authority to forgive sin along with his healing, the religious establishment labels it blasphemy.

Jesus can make the claims that he does because he has authority. The people recognize it when they hear his teaching. He demonstrates it when paralyzed people get up and walk, lepers are healed and demons are cast out. Jesus has authority unlike anyone else who has ever lived. We will wrap up the series on Jesus' identity this week by looking at where he gets that authority. And we'll read one of the boldest passages in scripture concerning who Jesus is; for the early church and for us.

August 13, 2018 8/12/18 - "Who Do You Say I Am: Week 4" - Mark 2:1-12 - Dr. Gordon Wright
Everything about the church, the Christian and the Christian's lifestyle flows from understanding and living according the Jesus's exemplary life and personhood. These days you can notice that the church is about everything except Jesus. Theologians and pastors are writing books with titles like, "Christ-less Christianity." In our study of the Sermon on the Mount I asked the prayer meeting crowd if they thought that someone embodying Jesus's Beatitudes (MT 5) would ever get elected as President? They said, "No" "Why?", I asked. The answer was "FEAR." They were right. Fear and courage don't usually inhabit the same space. It takes more courage to live by the tenets of the Sermon on the Mount than to retaliate, hurt, slap, shoot, get even, hold a grudge or live with prejudice. My topic is Jesus as healer. The text is Mark 2: 1-12. Jesus cured a paralytic whose friends lowered him through the roof because the house was too crowded. Notice the first thing that Jesus said to the paralyzed man. Why do you think that was so important?

August 06, 2018 8/5/18 - "Who Do You Say I Am: Week 3" - John 6:24-35 - Rev. Wes Hunter
For the last two weeks, we've talked about Jesus the way his contemporaries talked about him. Pretty much everybody agrees that Jesus was an important teacher and lots of religions even consider him a prophet. Those claims are not unique to Christians.

This week, we're going to consider a identity that Jesus claims for himself. It's a claim that causes a lot of the people who followed him around to turn away and one that only a committed disciple of Jesus can accept - and even then it's hard. Following Jesus isn't easy, but it is life giving.

July 30, 2018 7/29/18 - "Who Do You Say I Am: Week 2" - John 6:5-14 - Rev. Wes Hunter
Last week we talked about Jesus' identity as a teacher. That's the word a lot of people used to describe Jesus, and it's one of the reasons crowds (like the one we talked about in Mark 6) gathered to hear him.

But Jesus is more than just any teacher. This week we'll take another look at the same crowd of people, but look at John's account of Jesus feeding them. Jesus reveals something else about his identity here and the folks who witness it add another title to his resume that hearkens back to Israel's history. Can we tap into that same legacy?

We are all pretty complicated creatures. We inhabit a lot of different roles in our lives and all of them play a part in who we are. The same is true for Jesus. Over the next five weeks, we're going to look at some of the ways people understood Jesus in his world so that we can better understand who Jesus is for our world.

This week we're starting with the most common way Jesus is described by others in Mark's gospel, the way many people who came into contact with Jesus experienced him. It's an important piece of his identity and an important part of our identity as his church.
