New Beginnings Lutheran Church

Exorcist

June 11, 2023 • Pastor Joe Sullivan • Mark 1:21–28, Mark 5:1–20

Here is one of my favorite movie quotes: a woman says, “I don’t believe in the devil.” a man replies, “Well, you should. He believes in you.” We'll be reading from different sections of the gospel of Mark to stretch our grasp of unseen realities also under Jesus’ dominion.

Baptized

April 16, 2023 • Pastor Joe Sullivan • Matthew 3:13–17

Are you a doubter, a cynic, a skeptic? Are you a seeker, a believer, a follower? Wherever you think yourself in the universe vis-à-vis Jesus, the vagrant rabbi who left the world unable to forget Him, we’re going to revisit the historical records and see Him for the first time again. We begin with the event when Jesus went public.

Rejected

April 23, 2023 • Pastor Joe Sullivan • Luke 4:16–30

Why would anyone reject Jesus? Those who thought they knew him best wouldn’t have him. Why would you reject Jesus? Are you rejecting Jesus or just some version of him in your head that is far from true?

Calling

April 30, 2023 • Pastor Joe Sullivan • Mark 1:16–20

Doesn’t it shock you that the disciples abandon everything to follow Jesus? They left their livelihoods and families to become homeless followers of a vagrant, Jewish rabbi.
