  • He Drove Out the Man

    This morning I'd like to look at this "prologue" of Mark. …from this concise introduction, FOUR FACTS or four spiritual truths that have to be known mentally AND ALSO believed, trusted, felt, experienced. And without these realities in place, the spiritual life gets sidetracked and grinds to a halt. Here they are:

    1.We Are Driven Out

    2. The Heavens Are Rent
    3. The New Adam Is Driven Out
    4. The Good News of God Has Come

  • Jehu, the "Messiah"

    I want to look at this Jehu (he gets a lot of ink…two CHs)

    Jehu is a "Mashiach" i.e. anointed, a messiah-figure.

    So, let's look at that:
    1 st - Jehu: a Different Kind of Messiah
    2 nd - We Need This Kind of Messiah (sort of!)
    3 rd - How the True Messiah Changes Judgment

  • The Weeping Prophet

    Let's look at:

    1. This Puzzling Episode – a weeping truth-teller who promotes lying and a loyal, trusted aide who betrays his king and usurps the throne!
    2. This Puzzling Book – Evaluating Kings
    3. The Puzzling Tie to Advent
      4. 37 min
    4. Lepers Fat and Happy

      The Bible demonstrates here, in a variety of ways, God's opinion and response to human weakness. And what eventually emerges fully (in the NT) is an understanding of weakness opposite and counter-intuitive to everything we're taught in society (in the secular world) AND even contrary to what we learn in spirituality, religion and morality as well.

      Let's just look at the story and then look at what the Bible is teaching about weakness:

      1. Retelling the story AND
      2. What this odd story contributes to the Bible's unique understanding of weakness
        3. 42 min
      3. The Invisible Army

        We've been looking at the life of the Old Testament prophet, Elisha. And today we come to a story about… Perception. It's about how people see the world, how we interpret reality. It's a story about awakenings… about eye-openings …and seeing beyond the concrete and obvious.

        Let's look at:

        1. The decisive action or turning point in the story.
        2. The key result of that decisive action
        3. The FINAL outcome foreshadowing of the Ultimate outcome.
