Persecution, Deception, and the Coming End of the World (Mark 13)

Presented by Jace Broadhurst

November 15, 2009, 5:50 am

Christians are still killed for what they believe. The Bible says that in the end times this will happen. Are we in the end times? What does that phrase even mean? Mark 13 is the famous discourse from the Mount of Olives. It speaks of such things as the abomination of desolation and the sun being blotted out. It speaks of war, famine, earthquake, and false teaching. What does all this mean for present day Christians? I cant wait to share with you what Jesus and Mark mean in the first half of this passage and I trust it will open your eyes to the future.

Place of Abundance (Psalm 66:10-12)

Presented by Samuel Kadari

November 8, 2009, 7:03 am

Perhaps you think persecution doesnt happen that much anymore. Well, today is the day we set aside to remember and pray for the persecuted church all over the world. And this week we have the privilege of hearing from a pastor from India who has himself been jailed and beaten and has watched friends killed in front of him. This servant of God will show us the place of abundance from Psalm 66:10-12. Take a look at this beautiful passage.
For you, O God, tested us; you refined us like silver. You brought us into prison and laid burdens on our backs. You let men ride over our heads; we went through fire and water, but you brought us to a place of abundance.
Listen and prepare for a feast.

I Don't Like Rich People and Neither Does Jesus . . . Maybe: the Super Religious and the Widow's Mite (Mark 12:38-44)

Presented by Jace Broadhurst

November 1, 2009, 3:48 pm

In the growing list of things that bug Pastor Jace, let's add this one: Rich people bug me. Fortunately none of you are in the rich category--how could you be? Rich people are those people who make more than you do, right? This week in Mark 12:38-44 Jesus is going to do some people watching and make some pretty relevant comments about two kinds of people--the rich, religious leaders and the poor widow. And as is often the case in Mark's gospel, Jesus is going to demand some pretty radical discipleship. Very relevant for those who live in the 8th wealthiest county in the country and for everyone else too. But its not just about Christian giving, its about He who already gave. Listen and celebrate everything Jesus gave up on our behalf--because thats really what it's all about.

Culture, the Church and the Cosmic Christ (Mark 12:35-37)

Presented by Jace Broadhurst

October 25, 2009, 9:04 am

The gospel of Jesus Christ is being twisted, softened, and destroyed. Christianity has become so "tolerant" of everything and everyone. The good news of God's reign has been thrown into a blender with a host of other ideologies and religions and isms and what has emerged is not the gospel at all. "Jesus was raised only in our hearts." "Jesus will one day be king." These are heresies of the first order and Mark (12:35-37) wants you to see that as Jesus beats up on the scribes again, this time from Psalm 110. Get ready to hear about the culture, the church and the cosmic Christ.
