Was Jesus Racist? 28:29

14d ago28:29

28:29

Pastor Jonathan takes us through Mark 7 when Jesus has an interaction with a Phoenician woman seeking deliverance for her child from a demon. At first, it appears that he is being very harsh and dare we say possibly racist? Her child was healed because of her faith, and we learn what Jesus was communicating and that our task is to share hope, peace…

Expect the Unexpected 21:40

1M ago21:40

21:40

In this episode the Rev. Lynne Ellis joins us as we continue through the gospel of Mark. We look at how knowing the Lord is about expecting the unexpected, and also how Jesus exercised his authority, challenging the expectations of the day. He also leaves us with the challenge to feed on things that draw us closer to God so we can be transformed by…

21:01

In this episode, the Rev. Lynne Ellis takes us through Mark 6: 1-6 when Jesus tried to minister in his own home town the atmosphere of doubt was not conducive to miracles. We are challenged to have faith in the absolute authority of God to heal and answer our prayers and what that should look like as followers of Jesus. Connect with Us! www.opengat…

Keep Calm and Carry On 24:43

2M ago24:43

24:43

As we continue through the book of Mark, our passage Mark 4:35-5:19 again answers the question: Who is Jesus? The first thing we see is human reactions to human circumstances – Jesus (and the disciples) are tired by the burden of ministry. But rather than finding rest, they encounter a storm (as is so often the case). The disciples panic and rebuke…

Have I Committed "The Unforgiveable Sin"? 24:44

2M ago24:44

24:44

Our passage today (Mark 3:20-35) answers the question: Who is Jesus? As people start to question whether the power he was demonstrating came from God or the forces of evil… And it’s not just the jealous Pharisees that were asking these questions, even Jesus’ own family had begun to question his sanity. Jesus teaches that He is not a servant of the …

Was Jesus the First Punk-Rocker? 30:10

3M ago30:10

30:10

In this episode we continue through the book of Mark, chapter 2:13-3:19. Our passage opens with the calling of Levi (Matthew) – a tax collector, a despised, unclean, traitor. Jesus then proceeds to (appear to) break one of the 10 Commandments by ignoring the mandate to fast and do no work (he heals a man with a withered hand). He then calls the rem…

Getting Our Hands Dirty 29:00

3M ago29:00

29:00

In this episode we conclude Chapter 1 of Mark and move to Chapter 2. We see Jesus continue to assert his spiritual authority through his healing ministry. We see that in cases where Jesus heals there is most often an approach, petition & response, healing & instruction. In the case of the healing of the leper, a social and religious outcast approac…

Who has the Authority? 18:29

3M ago18:29

18:29

In this episode we are joined by Clarke Scheibe, who takes us through Mark 1:21-39 and how Jesus' authority was undeniable, yet brought conflict. We are challenged with questions regarding our faithfulness and if we are declaring the full authority of Jesus in our lives, even if it means we will also experience conflict.

He Will Transform Us to Fish People 22:15

3M ago22:15

22:15

As we continue in Chapter 1 of Mark, we see Jesus’ next step in his ministry was calling his followers. And we see that the disciples do not choose Jesus, he chooses and calls them -we are called by grace. The disciples leave everything behind (their careers and even their family) to answer this call- we follow by faith. Jesus gives them a new purp…

Why Do I Need the Gospel? 27:57

27:57

As we get set to start a series journey through the Gospel according to Mark in its entirety, we simply ask ourselves the question: What is the Gospel? What is the point? Why do I need to hear this again? Why does this matter to the world today? We will again recognize that even though we live in a culture that considers itself though self righteou…

Is It a Humblebrag? 26:40

5M ago26:40

26:40

In response to challenges to his leadership, Paul feels compelled to reestablish the church in Corinth’s trust in him. Because his opponents were going about boasting about their spiritual experiences and visions, Paul is also forced to verify his credentials by “boasting” about his own visions and revelations. However, he is able to outdo his oppo…

What Does the Resurrection Mean? 23:47

Over the last couple of years at our Easter services, the message has focussed on how we celebrate that the gospel accounts of the resurrection are not theological lessons about the meaning of the resurrection, they are an account of the details of what happened that day. That the gospels don’t tell us what it means, they just tell us that it happe…

Out with the Old and in with the New! 24:47

In this episode we will look at how, through the prophet Jeremiah, God promised his people in exile a new covenant - a next step in their relationship with Him. Even though the majority of Israel had failed to keep the covenant of the law and rejected God, this was not enough to cause God to turn away from his everlasting covenantal, relational lov…

In this episode we are looking at 2 Chronicles 36:14-23 which highlights themes of sin, judgment, redemption, and restoration, showcasing God's enduring love and faithfulness to His people even in the face of disobedience. We first see the consequences of sin - the persistence of idolatry (despite persistent divine warnings) leads to the fall of Ju…

God gave the law through Moses as the foundation of his covenantal relationship with His people Israel. The law is not merely guidelines or suggestions, it is the law. Jesus came, not to abolish the law but to…
