Not a blow by blow account…but a particular perspective, presented for a specific purpose.

You like Bible? OK…here’s a Bible study on the Gospel of John, given by Pastor Mark.

_

Some of you may consider this quite a departure from the sort of Bible study that you are used to. That’s ok.  Another perspective can be a very enlightening thing.

The Gospel of John – “I Am Life”

Got friends or family who aren’t believers? This might be a good one to get them to listen to:

_

click > The Gospel of John-“I Am Life”

_

Or maybe you can get them a copy of John’s Gospel and ask them if they would read it.

Maundy Thursday (getting ready for it)

7029977207_509bd3e669_c

_

Maundy Thursday is tomorrow, but I thought I’d post this sermon by Pastor Mark that you might get a head start on the words that will come out of the mouth of your preacher. That you might see more clearly what exactly Jesus was doing on that night, and take an honest look at yourself in light of what Jesus said, and did.

What is ‘worship’?

2867789128_3cc102e146_z

_

We’ve got Mary. We’ve got Judas. We’ve got poor people. We’ve got very expensive perfume. And we’ve got Jesus.

What does all of that have to do with worship?

Listen in and see:

What Repentance is really all about

images

Is it about being able to stop from committing particular sins?

_

Is it about cleaning up your act so that God will make everything in your life work?

_

Is is “dipsticking”?  Checking your brother or sister to see if they are properly living out their Christian lives?

_

_

Listen in to Pastor Mark as he gives us his take on what repentance really is all about:

Turning the church into a “Christian Boot Camp”

_

Gerhard Forde once said that “the gospel of Jesus Christ is not a movement from vice to virtue…but a movement from virtue to grace.”

_

Pastor Mark explains that statement and expands on it:

Bible Study…Luke 13. Listen to it as a matter of life and death.

_6641704453_fca37336a4_z

If you don’t hear the Bible as a matter of life and death then it will just end up being “religious noise”…and will morph into “principles for daily living”…which won’t do you a bit of good when it’s your turn before the Living God.
