9 - The Kingdom of God, Mark 4:21-34 Palm Sunday

March 25, 2018 • Josh Lindstrom

The kingdom of God may not appear to be much in the eyes of some, but Jesus teaches us that it will, in time, reveal all that is hidden and grow in remarkable ways. We must not allow ourselves to grow impatient or discouraged as we wait upon the Lord. His kingdom will one day come for all to see.

1. Get in early (vs. 21-23)
2. A good investment (vs. 24-25)
3. Guaranteed growth (vs. 26-29)
4. An incredible return (vs. 30-32)
5. Start now (vs. 33-34)

8 - Teaching Parables, Mark 4:1-20

March 11, 2018 • Josh Lindstrom

The proclamation of the kingdom of God will not be received equally by those who hear it. Using parables, Jesus teaches on the nature of the gospel and how, while it does not always take root in every heart, when it does take root, it bears tremendous fruit. Since we can never know how one will respond, we are to share the good news as much as we have opportunity. 1. The Parable of the Sower (vs. 1-9) 2. The Secret of the Kingdom (vs. 10-12) 3.

7 - Engaging Scoffers, Mark 3:20-35

March 4, 2018 • Josh Lindstrom

Not everybody responded with enthusiasm to Jesus’ increasing popularity. His earthly family thought him crazy and sought to discourage his work, and scribes had begun to come down from Jerusalem to openly challenge him. Despite the opposition, Jesus remains steadfast in his commitment to do the will of his father. We too should expect opposition and must remain committed even when those closest to us turn 1. Do not mistake intensity for insanity (vs. 20-21) 2. Do not mistake the work of the Spirit for the work of Satan (vs. 22-30) 3.

6 - Calling Others, Mark 3:7-19

February 25, 2018 • Josh Lindstrom

As Jesus’ ministry continued to grow, he began to entrust his work to others. He called the disciples to himself so that they could be with him and so that he could send them out to preach and cast out demons. Still today, Jesus calls us to participate with him in his gospel ministry; beginning in his presence, we are equipped and sent out. 1. Jesus knew pressure (vs. 7-12) 2. Jesus knew pause (v.13) 3. Jesus calls us to both (vs. 14-15) 4. United in Christ (vs. 16-19) SONGS Glorious Day #7081388 by J Ingram, J Smith, K Stanfill, and S Curran © Fellow Ships Music God With Us (Torwalt) #7054539 by B Torwalt and K Torwalt 2015 © Capitol CMG Genesis 'Tis So Sweet To Trust In Jesus #5373600 by W J Kirkpatrick, J A Schreiner, and L R Stead 2003 John Andrew Schreiner Music O Come To The Altar #7051511 by C Brown, M Brock, S Furtick, and W Joye 2015 © Be Essential Songs All The Poor And Powerless #5881130 by L Jordan and D Leonard 2011 Integrity's Praise!
