Why Did Jesus Say...

March 2014

Baptism Sunday

April 13, 2014 • Pastor Sean McDowell

Baptism is one of the most meaningful and memorable moments in the life of a follower of Christ. This weekend, we had the privilege of celebrating what God has done in the lives of nearly 30 men, women, and children.

"What God has joined together, let no one separate."

This weekend, Pastor Randy focuses on a topic that has had an impact on all of us. Marriage and divorce. God has great purposes for marriage, and we must be reminded "what God has joined together, let no one separate."

"Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you."

Do you have any enemies? Maybe you wouldn't consider them “enemies” as if in war, but are there people you don’t get along with or who oppose you? Jesus speaks into your relationships and tells you to “love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you."

"Those who love their life will lose it, while those who hate their life in this world will keep it.

Sometimes, what Jesus shares with us seems to be backwards. For instance, how can experiencing life to the fullest extent require us to give up something? What we find is that through the power of Christ, if we do what we don’t want to do, we can become who we were created to be.

"It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to go into hell."

All of us must be willing to address our sin in order to experience life the way God intends it to be. Pastor Randy unpacks Jesus' words from Mark 9 to help us better understand how we can pursue righteousness.

"You don't want to leave too, do you?"

Pastor Randy Ahlberg launches our new series this weekend by sharing about an interesting question that Jesus asked the disciples in John chapter 6. It's a question that each of us must consider to this very day.
