July 24, 2016 The Broadway musical “Fiddler on the Roof” opened in 1964 and ran for over 3,200 performances at the Imperial Theatre in New York. It didn’t’ close until 1972. It won a Tony for best musical of the year, and, at the time, was the longest-running show in history. The movie version […]
MARK 6:45-52
July 17, 2016 There are four gospels in the New Testament – Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. They all tell the story of Jesus. As a result, since they tell the same story, three of them are quite similar – Matthew, Mark and Luke. In fact, those three are called the synoptic gospels because […]
MARK 6:30-44
July 10, 2016 Before us this morning lies one of the most familiar stories in the Bible – the feeding of the five thousand. It’s a story we’ve heard from childhood, in just about every Sunday school we’ve ever attended. The challenge before us is to take this familiar story, and make it fresh. […]
MARK 6:14-30
July 3, 2016 There is a cost to being a follower of Jesus Christ. Well, if we confess we are disciples, and invite others to follow Him, too. You see, last week, we saw Jesus send out the twelve – to do what He did, and say what He said. That is, to preach […]
MARK 6:7-13
June 26, 2016 So this week, my daughters began working for Operation Christmas Child at Samaritan’s Purse. I’m pretty excited about that since I’m a huge fan of OCC. You see, OCC annually distributes millions of shoeboxes filled with gifts for children around the world – as an entrée to introduce them to the […]
MARK 6:1-6
June 19, 2016 Through personal experience and years of ministry, I’ve discovered being raised in a Christian nation, or being raised in a Christian family, has some unique challenges. For example, on the one hand, I’ve talked to many who’ve told me – I can’t remember not believing in Jesus. I was brought to […]
MARK 5:25-34
June 12, 2016 Held annually since 1958, the FedEx St. Jude Classic is a PGA golf tournament held in Memphis, Tennessee. Memphis, of course, because that’s where the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is located. That very tournament is being held this weekend – June 9-12 –its final day being today. Stay with me […]
MARK 5:21-24, 35-43
June 5, 2016 I’ve been in ministry for about 30 years now, and in that time, I’ve had the opportunity to perform a number of funerals. Now, nowhere in the Bible can you find it’s a pastor’s job to bury, or for that matter, marry people, the responsibility has just fallen our way. […]
HIS SCANDALOUS LOVE – CHRIS SWANSON
MARK 5:14-20
May 15, 2016 This morning, we’re going to finish the story we began last week – the exorcism of legion from the naked, disfigured, strong, crazy, demon-possessed man. Now, you’re perhaps surprised to hear that – you’re thinking, what more could you possibly have to say – last week was just a bunch of […]
