Sermons from December 2013
Jesus Is Alive, Are You?
Was Mark 16:9-20 a part of Mark’s original writing? We take a look at this to begin and then get into what is said in these verses and how they are a call to us to follow today.
Bible Text: Mark 16:9-20
Significant Insignificance
The fact that Jesus stepped out of heaven to come to this world to save us is amazing enough. But how He did it and the things or people He used spoke of bringing such significance to that which was often overlooked. There’s great encouragement for us today as we look at these things in this message.
Questioning God’s Goodness – Part 3
We conclude the book of Malachi looking at this debate between God and the people of Israel continue to unfold. God is calling them back to faithfulness, as He reveals His faithfulness to them.
Bible Text: Malachi 3:7-4:6
The Resurrection of Jesus
We look at the scene going on at the empty tomb as the women come to anoint Jesus’ body. They’re startled and amazed as they learn that Jesus has risen! May we too be amazed as we look in at the empty tomb – Jesus is alive!
Bible Text: Mark 16:1-8
The Crucifixion of Jesus
The crucifixion is examined in this sermon unpacking for us what happened on that day at Calvary and what was accomplished for us through the cross.

Questioning God’s Goodness – Part 1
God speaks out to the people a number of years after they have returned from exile. Sadly they have slipped back into ways of sin and rebellion. God calls out to them through the prophet Malachi and their response is one of questioning – ‘What are you taking about?’ So we witness this debate unfold ultimately so that God can led them back to a right relationship with Him.
Bible Text: Malachi 1:1-2:9
Jesus: Man for all Mankind
We look at the civil trial that Jesus undergoes as the Jews seek to bring Him to Pilate, the Roman authority, so that he would find fault and issue the death penalty. Pilate however marvels at such a Man who endured so much and kept moving with a resolved focus of the cross.
Bible Text: Mark 15:1-21
