mark 3

Could your understanding of the Sabbath transform your practice of faith? Join us as we unravel the profound teachings of Jesus in Mark chapter three, where a simple act of healing on the Sabbath opens the door to a deeper comprehension of love, mercy, and rest at the heart of God's commandments. We tackle the tension between adhering to religious tradition and embracing the spirit of the law with compassion, drawing a thought-provoking parallel with the parable of the Good Samaritan. Delving into the essence of the Sabbath, we invite you to rediscover the joy of rest, refocus on spiritual rejuvenation, and trust in divine provision, stepping away from legalistic binds to reclaim the true intention of God's day of rest.

The episode culminates with Jesus' powerful response to being misunderstood by his family and accused by religious authorities, reshaping our understanding of what constitutes a spiritual family. Together, we reflect on the essence of sin and forgiveness, examining the strength found within a community united by God's will, and offer insights into the text that might just change the way you perceive your place in God's family.

In Mark 3, we witness Jesus healing a man with a withered hand on the Sabbath, causing controversy among the Pharisees who accuse him of breaking the Sabbath law. This chapter showcases Jesus' emphasis on compassion over legalistic adherence to religious laws, a theme that resonates with modern audiences seeking empathy and understanding in religious teachings. The conflict between Jesus and the religious authorities highlights the tension between tradition and compassion, a topic of interest for readers exploring the relevance of ancient texts in contemporary contexts.

Furthermore, Mark 3 introduces the selection of the twelve apostles by Jesus, marking a pivotal moment in the formation of his inner circle. This event taps into the intrigue surrounding leadership and discipleship, drawing parallels to modern discussions on mentorship and community building. By examining Jesus' criteria for choosing his apostles, readers can glean insights into the qualities valued in spiritual leaders, sparking discussions on leadership development and the qualities of effective mentors.

Additionally, Mark 3 delves into accusations that Jesus is possessed by Beelzebul, the prince of demons, prompting Jesus to address the crowd with a powerful defense of his actions and identity. This episode amplifies themes of spiritual warfare and divine authority, resonating with audiences interested in supernatural elements and theological debates. Jesus' assertion of his authority over demons offers comfort to believers grappling with spiritual oppression, while his warning against blaspheming the Holy Spirit

TODAY'S PRAYERS:

Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose  through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.  

Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.  

And now Lord,  make me an instrument of your peace.  Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon.  Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope.  Where there is darkness, light.  And where there is sadness,  Joy.  Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love.  For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life.  Amen

And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray...

Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, they kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.

Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ.  Amen.

 Is there a sin so bad that God will not forgive those who commit it? Jesus tells us that if we commit the sin of blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, it would not be forgiven in this world or the next? What is that sin and why is it so terrible?

Daily readings & lessons from the Gospel According to Mark. Perhaps stir crazy kids and the parents who love them will give it a listen. All others may join in too! 

In this sermon, Jonathan shares with us the drama from Jesus' family and how that is impacting his ministry pointing out the hard choices He will have to make. 

In his presentation, Jonathan used a whiteboard and wrote the following:

1. Jesus chooses his family
     2. His family comes to collect him
          3. The Jewish Leaders deny Him as King and block others
     4. His family comes to collect him
5. Jesus chooses his family

This is called a "Markan Sandwich" or more accurately, a chiasmus structure. 

The point of this is to draw the reader to the middle where the meat of the story is and that is where you see the main idea. 

Here, it is a warning to not be like the Jewish leaders, who Jesus' family is in danger of doing with albeit naive motives. 

Ultimately, we must choose Jesus in every aspect of our lives
