God is Love.
Too many couple are focused just on the wedding day and not on what comes afterward. Pastor Mark shares how God needs to be at the center of our relationships with others especially in a marriage. A single thread can snap easily but a triple braided thread is not easily broken.
We’re are all part of Christ’s body and each have a different gift to offer. Today the message was about membership and how we are connected in the body of Christ. Pastor Mark shares about moments in his life in which he felt he was a part of the church. What does membership mean to you?
A typical passover supper included serving lamb during the meal. This symbolism brings us all the way back to when the Israelites were escaping Egypt and were told to put lamb’s blood over the doors of all the houses to protect them from the last plague. During the last supper, which took place during the passover, Jesus only provided bread and wine to the disciples and many people have questioned why he didn’t provide lamb. Listen to this week’s message to hear Pastor Mark’s explanation on where the lamb went.
Pastor Mark ties the Christmas story to Easter. In the Chronicles of Narnia, Aslan becomes the sacrifice in place of Edmund. He is killed by the White Witch but is resurrected much like Jesus. Experience the final message in the Chronicles of Christmas series.
Not safe, but He is good.
Today’s message was about Aslan the Lion. He was strong and fierce, but he was protecting his people. Jesus can be described in the same way. Jesus was infuriated when the money changers were selling their wares in the temple. He threw over the tables and said, “How dare you turn my Father’s house into a den of thieves.” (John 2:16) He was not tame, but He is good.
The inside is bigger than it looks on the outside.
The stable in Bethlehem probably didn’t look like much to the average eye. But God used that simple stall for something bigger, for a king. C.S. Lewis used this concept in the Chronicles of Narnia by using something as simple as a wardrobe to enter into an entirely different world. Appearances are not always what they seem and God uses the unlikeliest of circumstances to prove a point.
Is Jesus a liar, a lunatic, or Lord?
In C.S. Lewis’ book “The Chronicles of Narnia” the character Lucy is accused of being a liar when returning from the land of Narnia. Lucy is the child who always tells the truth and it is later found that Edmund is the real liar. Pastor Mark takes this further in exploring the possibility that Jesus may be a liar, a lunatic, or Lord. Listen to his message and come to your own conclusion.
Long Live Aslan! And Merry Christmas.
This week we take a closer look at who Father Christmas really is and how he is linked to the Christ child. In the book “The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe” Father Christmas makes an appearance where he hands out presents out to Lucy, Peter, and Susan. Instead of giving them presents he gives them tools for the battle ahead of them. Tools, not toys.
Pastor Mark explains how we should be thankful, not only in the season of Thanksgiving but every day.
