Jesus Creates Preachers

Sunday January 31, 2021 Text: Mark 1:14-20 Speaker: Pastor Matthew Ude Festival: Epiphany Passages: Mark 1:14-20

Jesus Stands Alone

When they looked up they saw Jesus alone. No more mountain. No more trying to climb to God. Jesus came down to us. No more voice of the Father. No more terror in the presence of God. Instead God became man and came down to be with us. No more Moses or Elijah. The law was gone. The prophets were gone. Jesus alone stood in their place.

Tuesday February 4, 2020 Text: 1 corinthians 1:10-18 Speaker: Pastor Matthew Ude Festival: Epiphany Passages: 1 corinthians 1:10-18

We have two words in our text today: skismata which means to tear, rend, or divide and katertizo which means to mend, fix, or make perfect. Paul pleads with us to lay aside the wisdom of man which divides and rejoice instead in the foolishness of the cross of Christ which through the forgiveness of sins makes whole that that which man has torn apart.

If left to ourselves we would never follow Christ. What he offers is not what our sinful nature desires. But the power of God draws us to Christ, and in Him we find something worth even our lives.
