Progressive in Thyatira: More Tolerant than God

Jesus’ words to the church in Thyatira include some commendation for their actions, but lengthy correction of their doctrine. They were sinfully more tolerant than God—which is still a temptation for us today. What should Christian tolerance look like in culture, community, and the church? Christianity begins with tolerance and moves to repentance and change.

Apostate in Pergamum: Good Deeds, Bad Doctrine

Pastor Mark preaches on Jesus’ words to the church in Pergamum from the theater on the upper acropolis of the ancient city of Pergamum itself. Jesus encourages them for withstanding physical, political, and spiritual persecution in their city, where Satan’s throne is. However, he rebukes them for their apostate beliefs (false doctrine) and behavior (sexual sin). How could we fall into apostasy?

Best Of: Jesus Sweats Blood

Jesus is in absolute agony, sweating blood, as he prays honestly with the Father. Every sin is like a drop into a cup. We pour the sin in. God, at the end of this life, pours out commensurate wrath. Yet Jesus submits his will to the Father’s; he exchanges places with us on the cross and drinks every single drop of cup of the wrath of God. The cross is where the love of God is most clearly seen.

Pastor Mark preaches at the church in Smyrna on Jesus’ words—still applicable today—to the church in Smyrna from Revelation 2. Today, Turkey is the least churched nation; still, Jesus tells the church in Smyrna to be encouraged and to endure what he endured (tribulation, poverty, slander, suffering, even death), but not to fear. Pray for Christians and churches where persecution still continues.

Fundamentalist in Ephesus: All Head, No Heart

Pastor Mark preaches on Jesus’ letter to the church in Ephesus from the ancient city of Ephesus itself. Jesus commends the Ephesians for how they serve faithfully, endure hardship, have sound doctrine, and hate heretics, but his big criticism is that they are not very loving. Instead of merely criticizing the Ephesians, we must read Jesus’ words humbly and realize how we could become like them.

A Message To Seven Churches

The book of Revelation is about loving Jesus and the church. Despite John’s suffering, Jesus redirects John to the churches—the lampstands that reflect Jesus to the world. Jesus tells us to persevere in him, with his people; to worship him privately and publicly, with his people; and to serve and give to his church. If you aren’t, it’s due to fear. But Jesus says to fear not, for he is with us.

The Revelation of Jesus

John was one of the closest people on the earth to Jesus, as his best friend and eyewitness to Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection. Even after being boiled alive and then exiled to the island of Patmos, John was faithful and never stopped talking about Jesus. For John, it’s always about Jesus. Revelation, penned by John, is all about King Jesus and Jesus’ church, because Jesus loves the church.

Jesus Is Risen

Sex: God, Gross, or Gift?

Before sin entered the world, God created sex for marriage between one man and one woman. People distort this gift and tend to see sex as either god or gross. However, the Bible gives six ways in which sex is a gift from God: for pleasure, children, knowledge, protection, comfort, and oneness.

If you don’t take out the trash in your marriage, it will stink up the whole relationship. Don’t fight with criticism, contempt, defensiveness, or stonewalling.

A wife is to respect her husband (Eph. 5:33). A respectful wife has a head of respect (How do you think about your husband?), a heart of respect (How do you feel about him?

Men and Marriage

Marriage is a covenant, not a contract. Every covenant—including the new covenant of salvation—has a head, who is ultimately responsible for the covenant. The husband is the covenant head of a marriage; he is responsible for his marriage, his wife, and his kids. Similarly, Christ took that which was not his fault—our sin—and he made it his responsibility on the cross. He is our covenant head.

There’s an open invitation to the party; all who want to attend can through Jesus. But his kingdom party will have a lot of no-shows. Not everyone, even some who think they are Christians, will be there. Will you?

The Parable of the Wedding Feast

Jesus says pride is evil, but the world says it is one of the greatest virtues (called “self-esteem”). If we don’t live out of humility, we will experience humiliation. Humility means to know your place and gladly accept where you ought to be. Proud people push themselves to where they want to be. The answer to pride is Jesus. Humility is a byproduct of getting to know Jesus.

Jesus Heals on the Sabbath

Jesus heals on the Sabbath again, and religious people criticize his compassion. We see over and over again that religion wants a fight, but Jesus wants a friend. Religion misses Jesus in its search for righteousness. Not only does he take all our sin, but he gives us all of his righteousness. It’s ultimately not about religion; it’s about his redemption. There is hope in Jesus for the religious.

Jesus the Narrow Door

Salvation is one narrow door: Jesus. It is exclusive: there’s one door. It is inclusive: all are welcome. The narrow door divides heaven and hell and it is closing—there is no second chance for salvation after death. When you die, the door slams shut; you will stand before Jesus and he will judge you. Now he is weeping, inviting you to run by faith through the open door. The decision is yours.

Jesus Heals a Demonized Woman

Jesus heals a demonized, suffering woman and she glorifies God. But, rather than rejoicing, the pastor criticizes Jesus for healing on the Sabbath. Jesus is tender with the woman and tough with the man. He rebukes the pastor publicly for treating livestock better than this woman. How do you avoid religiosity? Remember the King and his kingdom, which starts small and grows big.

The Parable of the Barren Fig Tree

Jesus is the perfect storyteller. A parable is a small story that teaches a big idea in order to get our heart and expose our sin. The parable of the barren fig tree teaches that God cares about fruitfulness. Even when we’ve been fruitless, God’s heart is not to cut us down and throw us in the fire. God’s heart is to give us more time for him to work on us. By the grace of God, we can be fruitful.

Jesus and Repentance

Regular practice of the spiritual disciplines (community, Scripture, prayer, worship, giving, serving, obedience, evangelism) kindles Spirit-fired passion. Be more concerned about your eternity than about the weather. Jesus tells us to repent or perish. We all will stand before God to give an account for our life. Get ready and do not delay. True repentance is confession, contrition, and change.

Jesus And Anxiety

“Fear not” is the most frequent command in the Bible. Fear in the mind leads to anxiety in the body, reducing the quality and duration of life. Our God is able to sympathize with us because he’s been here. He is a good Dad who knows we have needs. He’ll take care of us. If you believe that he is a generous king, give. The joy of giving reorients our hearts away from ourselves, to God and others.

The Parable Of The Rich Fool

When it comes to wealth, Jesus looks at the heart. In this parable, the rich fool’s sin was not that he became wealthy, but that he worshiped his wealth instead of worshiping God with his wealth. If you aren’t content, you’ll covet, which is idol worship. Will you be foolish or faithful with what God gives you? Will you be rich toward God and others, or only think of yourself?

Jesus And Fear

The Pharisees use fear of man to bully the multitudes and keep them from Jesus, and they try to bully Jesus too. Is Jesus or someone else sitting on the throne over your life? Fear of man is when someone other than Jesus sits on that throne. You want to please them, which ultimately is worship and results in anxiety. Jesus teaches us how to overcome fear of man.

Jesus And Religion

Jesus plus anything, even religion, ruins everything. Jesus is harsh with the religious people because they close their eyes to the light, make rules for God, want praise for themselves, and defend their idols. Religious rules are all about the external and raise preferences to the level of God’s laws. Religious people try to be holier than Jesus, but we’re saved by Jesus’ works, not our own.

Jesus vs. Satan

A cosmic battle rages between God and Satan. In this great battle there are two kings, two kingdoms, two armies, two battlefields, and two choices. Luke introduces us to a mute man who is a casualty in this battle. Jesus comes as his and our liberator. He releases us from bondage and sets us free, but some of us don’t want to run. We want to look back and go back. Will you choose Jesus or Satan?

Asking For The Holy Spirit

Jesus teaches some parables and principles for prayer. First, our God is good, loving, gracious, and kind, so we should come to him, day or night, 24/7, and ask, seek, and knock. Second, God is a good Father and if we ask him for a good thing, we won’t get a bad thing. A good Father gives good gifts and the greatest gift is the Holy Spirit. Ask, continually, for the Holy Spirit and his help.

Mary And Martha

Are you Mary or Martha? Mary’s about being; Martha’s about doing. We live in a Martha world; we’re troubled, anxious, and distracted. But the rhythm of our day is supposed to be Mary, then Martha. Spend time with Jesus, then get stuff done. Worship like Mary, then work like Martha. Worship God before you work so that you can worship God in your work. We want Mary’s heart and Martha’s hands.
