New Wineskins for Fresh Wine - Part 3 "Poured in to Pour Out"

September 17, 2023 • Pastor Ben Sosa

Mary of Bethany poured out her expensive perfume on Jesus’ feet. This has raised many different critiques and questions from others over the years. Why did she give up a year’s wages? Just as we find value in our possessions, treasures, investments, sacrifices, and even in our time, Jesus may also be asking us to lay them at His feet just like Mary did. Join us this Sunday as we explore a life poured out.

Sermon Only - New Wineskins for Fresh Wine - Part 2

September 10, 2023 • Pastor Glenn Garvin • Luke 5:39

We experience God in the framework of time. Not just any time, but our time. What is “our” time? It used to be the time of our youth, young adulthood, and early family life. It was the time of experiencing everything for the first time…when everything was new. In our time we had a few cherished traditions we received from our parents, grandparents and patriarchs, but for the most part we wanted to create our own life, our own hopes and dreams. Jesus warned us about needing to let go of some things in preference to a new work He was going to bring. Luke’s comment suggests there are those who just like things to stay the same and therefore miss out on seeing God do miracles with the new.

September 3, 2023 • Pastor Glenn Garvin • Mark 2:18–22

We all have preferences of taste and what is appealing to us. Whether that’s in foods, clothing, décor, even entertainment or environment, we like what we like. When we are young we are quite impressionable of other’s preferences. It’s called peer pressure. However, as we age, our preferences seem to solidify into something far more than just opinion. We get more attached, comfortable or even stuck in what started out as just preferences. Jesus challenged the Pharisees about their preferences that had become staunch rules and traditions of the day.
