REBUKED!

Are you in a relationship where you are reprimanded?  How do you handle reprimand?

Check out VADER reprimanding this guy for his “Lack of Faith”

Jesus has a similar scene in Mark 16:14 – for the same problem…”Lack of Faith”

Mark 16:14 Later he appeared to the eleven themselves, while they were reclining at table, and he rebuked them for their lack of faith and hardness of heart, because they had not believed those who had seen him after he had risen.

Check out what Charles Spurgeon said about it too in 1876:

Have you never seen a “coddled” lad? I have seen one, who ought to be in the open air at play, shut in a close room because his parents were fearful that he was delicate, and unable to do as other lads do. He ought to have been taking part in various healthy exercises that would have developed and strengthened every muscle in his body; but, instead of that, he was sitting down, tied to his mother’s apron strings, and so was being made weaker than he was before. He was kept in an atmosphere which was not fit for him to breathe because his foolish parents were afraid the fresh air might be too trying for him; and long before he was ill, he was dosed and physicked until he really became ill. Many a child has been murdered by being thus coddled; or, if he has lived to grow up to manhood, he has been a poor, feeble, effeminate creature, because the abundant love, which has been lavished upon him, has been linked with equally abundant folly. You can easily treat Christians, and especially young converts, in the same senseless fashion. If they are unbelieving, you can keep back from them the stern truth about the sinfulness of such a state of heart and mind, because you fear that they will be discouraged if you deal faithfully with them.

How a sermon comes together…

Saturday April 3rd, at 10am, I am hosting a 1hr “behind the scenes” to the message on Sunday.  This is for folks interested in public speaking, building a lesson or sermon, etc.  I will show you how it comes together and getting your input on the final components of the message.  We will talk about where the concept comes from, how I research, where application comes in, memory techniques, etc.

It’s open to all. Show up at 10am Sat in the sanctuary.  Below is a diagram of some of the content at the core of the message.

See you there.

I’m a brilliant artist…huh??? 🙂

“Pain and Suffering means you lose. Death is the end.”

During the Holy Week experience we see the full cycle of life.  It is a microcosm of life.

TRIUMPHANT ENTRY | SUPPER | PRAYER | ARREST/TRIAL | SUFFERING | DEATH | BURIAL | RESURRECTION

The generics of the above are:

HAPPINESS | COMMUNITY | TRIAL | LOSS/BETRAYAL | DEATH | MOURNING | NEW LIFE

We see this pattern in our whole life (our general path to salvation).  And like Jesus we see many mini versions of this throughout our lives (various trials and tribulations).

Examples of losses:

Suffering/death experiences:

  • Loss of job
  • Loss of loved one
  • Loss of marriage
  • Loss of trust


When we go through these experiences we must apply what Jesus did at the cross in order to make it through our losses and “deaths”.
Ultimately, we must apply what he did on the cross to the entirety of our life in order to overcome our ultimate death (end of life on earth).

The concept above is our message for Sunday, March 21.  I would love your input.

The lie: “PAIN AND SUFFERING MEANS YOU LOST.  DEATH IS THE END.”  –  the devil
