God has given us rest as a way to preserve our lives. Jesus saw the Sabbath as a good gift of God for our flourishing.  He did not break the Sabbath law. He fulfilled it. As the one who fulfilled the law, he is able to give and save life. 

Passage: Mark 2:23-3:6

The prophet Amos makes his way to Bethel, the city at the heart of the Northern Kingdom’s religious and political power, and he begins pronouncing judgement on all of Israel’s neighbors. But he does not stop there. At the climax of his judgement-list lies the harshest judgement of them all, and that one was pointed directly at Israel itself.

However, if the people of Israel turn from their injustice and seek YHWH once again, they will find life and redemption.

Text:  1 Cor 2:6-16 

Is there anything that you can’t learn if you study really hard? 

Is it possible for something to be so clear that even a child can understand it, and yet a mature and educated adult cannot understand at all? 

That’s exactly the way it is.   Let’s learn more about it today. 

Text: 1 Corinthians 1:18-2:5

We’re often afraid to share our faith with our neighbors. And if feels like there’s good reasons to be afraid, because what we have to say about Jesus really seems like foolishness – especially in the eyes of the unbeliever. But, that’s one of the things that makes the Gospel so beautiful! It is foolish to people, but it’s also the wisdom and power of God!

Let’s see how that is true as we study together today in 1 Corinthians.

Text: 1 Corinthians 1:10-17

People often disappoint us. 

Sometimes we’re disappointed when we see a Christian leader behave in competitive or jealous ways.  It can really hurt our feelings. 

Or, if a gifted and loved leader falls morally, we’re also deeply wounded and grieved.   

These kinds of tragedies can almost ruin our faith! But God wants us to follow Jesus alone.

What happens when we divide the world into groups: Two types of people, the "good guys" and the "bad guys"? In this short story from Mark, Jesus both challenges the Pharisees tendency to do this, and provides us with a different lens by which to view the world and our relationship to him. 

Text: Mark 2:1-12

Title: The Son of Man

Date: 2/10/2019

Quiz: Finish these lines: “Luke, I am your…” “Four score and …” “Life, liberty, and…” “I’ll never let go, Jack…”

Pop culture is steeped in iconic quotes and imagery. We can say just a few words of a speech or a movie and a whole world comes into view.

Now try this one… “The son of man has authority to…”

For people in Jesus’s day, the expression “son of man” called to mind fantastic images and supernatural hope. 

This message explores what the phrase "son of man" has to do with Jesus' identity and mission, and our identity and mission. 

At the end of this week, WPBF will be sending a team from our church to serve at The Pines Orphanage in South Africa. In preparation for the trip the team members have been sharing their testimonies and how that fits into this mission trip. This Sunday we got to hear from Darwin Buist. 

What can we know for sure? 

Can we be certain about anything? 

The Bible certainly says so. 

This message starts a new series in the book of 1 Corinthians.
