Scripture Passage John 12:20-33 Worship Video Worship Audio Sermon Script A Time for Everything Jesus' life was very different from our life. We do not really know what time it is. Jesus knew exactly what time it was. Ecclesiastes teaches us this wisdom.

Accepting the Path of Suffering Peter was Jesus’ first disciple. He was the closest to Jesus. But he rebukes Peter in the most serious way: “Get behind me, Satan! For you are setting your mind not on divine things but on human things.” (Mark 8:33) This is a serious rebuke. Satan means adversary. The one who is against God. Jesus is accusing Peter of going against God. How was Peter going against God? By trying to block Jesus’ suffering. Peter wanted to avoid suffering. But Jesus openly wal...

Scripture Passage Mark 1:21-28 Worship Video Worship Audio Sermon Script Restorative Authority Mark wanted to show right from the beginning that Jesus had the authority. That was important to Mark. He wanted to get across this message. This Jesus of Nazareth was not merely a village preacher. He was the man with the authority.

Scripture Passage Mark 1:14-20 Worship Video Worship Audio Sermon Script What He Sees When Jesus met his first disciples, it was an ordinary day. This is how Mark describes it: As Jesus passed along the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew casting a net into the sea – for they were fishermen As he went a little farther, he saw James son of Zebedee and his brother John, who were in their boat mending the nets.

Scripture Passage 1 Samuel 3:1-20 Worship Video Worship Audio Sermon Script Our Voices of Logic Today's story is about what happens when God speaks. These are the first words God said to Samuel: See, I am about to do something in Israel that will make both ears of anyone who hears of it tingle. (1 Samuel 3:11) When God speaks, God is about to do something. When God speaks, everything is about to change. Hearing God speak is something that sounds very foreign to modern ears. We don't know...

These are the leaders who are revered and remembered. When such a towering figure leaves, they often leave a void. It is hard for others ...
