The Transfiguration

Summer in the Son

May 19, 2024 • Austin Seevers • Mark 9:2–13, Hebrews 1:3

We are all good at building shelters of worship right next to Jesus, but he is the Son of God. It's about time we listened to him.

The Evidence of the Resurrection

August 4, 2024 • Austin Seevers • Mark 16:1–8, 1 Corinthians 15:1–8

Do we have any evidence of the tomb being empty? 1. Eyewitness testimony. 2. Consistent accounts. “Now, there was about this time Jesus, a wise man, if it be lawful to call him a man, for he was a doer of wonderful works—a teacher of such men as receive the truth with pleasure. He drew over to him both many of the Jews, and many of the Gentiles. He was [the] Christ; and when Pilate, at the suggestion of the principal men amongst us, had condemned him to the cross, those that loved him at the first did not forsake him, for he appeared to them alive again the third day, as the divine prophets had foretold these and ten thousand other wonderful things concerning him; and the tribe of Christians, so named from him, are not extinct at this day.” (Flavius Josephus and William Whiston, The Works of Josephus: Complete and Unabridged (Peabody: Hendrickson, 1987), 480. ) 3. Life change. 4. Martyrdom. 5. A global movement.

The Crucifixion

July 28, 2024 • Austin Seevers • Mark 15:39, Mark 15:27–32

When you look at the cross, what do you see? Some look at the cross and deny all that it represents. But for the follower of Jesus, the cross is a sign of: * Sacrifice * Love * Forgiveness * Victory * Hope

Gethsemane

July 21, 2024 • Lee Cox • Mark 14:32–42

* Jesus knows his place. (He is the Son of God.) * Jesus knows his purpose. (To bear the weight of our sin.) * Jesus makes his plea, an urgent request to "keep watch." As followers of Jesus, we must stay alert and understand that to join with Jesus is spiritual warfare.
