Text: Mark 10:32-34
Title: “The Zealous Shepherd”

This Lord’s Day we see the holiness and love of Jesus on display in His zeal for His mission, and His zeal for His disciples. On the way to Jerusalem, Jesus is out front. He zealously marches to the place of His sacrifice. Along the way, He takes time to prepare His disciples for what they will all soon face. He zealously watches over their souls. This passage provides us with the opportunity to consider how we respond to the love and care of our Shepherd for our own souls.

     I. THE ZEALOUS LOVE OF THE GOOD SHEPHERD (v. 32)
     II. THE ZEALOUS CARE OF THE GOOD SHEPHERD (vv. 33–34)

Songs we will sing this week include the following, provided in a playlist here: 

  1. New Again
  2. His Mercy is More
  3. Come Lord Jesus

Text: Mark 10:32-45
Title: “Where Sin Dies”

For the third and final time in the gospel of Mark, Jesus tells his disciples in very clear terms about what will happen when he arrives in Jerusalem. He will suffer, be killed, and rise on the third day. That revelation of beauty is met with the ugliness of the disciple’s selfish ambition. This Lord’s Day, as we take a big-picture view of this section, we will recognize three important lessons:

     I. RECOGNIZE THE POWER AND UGLINESS OF MAN’S SINFULNESS
     II. RECOGNIZE THE POWER OF THE CROSS OF CHRIST TO ATONE FOR SIN AND TO OVERCOME SIN
     III. RECOGNIZE THE NEED TO APPLY THIS SCENE TO YOUR OWN HEART

Songs we will sing this week include the following, provided in a playlist here: 

  1. Psalm 46
  2. Psalm 126
  3. The Solid Rock
  4. O Lord, My Rock and My Redeemer
  5. Jesus Thank You

Title: The Magnificent Prayers of Paul
Text: Ephesians 1:15–23

God wants you to know who you are in Christ. In Ephesians 1:3-14 Paul lays out in detail many of the blessings that belong to those in Christ and in verses 15-23 he asks God to help them understand those blessings with greater depth and clarity. In this text we see that there’s nothing more humbling than having our prayer life exposed by that of a godly man like Paul. We must allow Paul’s magnificent prayers to challenge and change our own.

  1. The Cause of Paul’s Prayers (v. 15)
  2. The Constancy of Paul’s Prayers (v. 16)
  3. The Content of Paul’s Prayers (vv. 17–23)
    1. The Hope of His Calling
    2. The Riches of His Inheritance
    3. The Greatness of His Power
      1. Shown through Jesus’ Resurrection
      2. Shown through Jesus’ Coronation and Presentation

Songs we will sing this week include the following, provided in a playlist here: 

  1. Song of Moses
  2. Here is Love
  3. You Are Worthy
  4. I Will Be Still
  5. Christ is Mine Forevermore

Text: Mark 10:17-27
Title: “The Impossible Possibility”

Salvation is of the Lord. Not only did our God accomplish everything necessary for our salvation through the perfect work of His Son, He also granted us the penitent faith necessary to receive that work. Apart from the sovereign work of regeneration, no human being recognizes his true spiritual poverty, his great need for salvation, and the incomparable treasure that is offered in Jesus.

This Lord’s Day, we will see that what is impossible with men is possible with God. We will learn this by examining the encounter that a rich young ruler had with the Lord Jesus Christ. Our outline for the morning is:

     I. THE SEEKER (v. 17a)
     II. THE CHALLENGE (vv. 18-19)
     III. THE CLARIFICATION (vv. 20-22)
     IV. THE SOBERING LESSON (vv. 23-25)
     V. THE CONCLUSION (vv. 26-27)

Songs we will sing this week include the following, provided in a playlist here: 

  1. A Mighty Fortress is Our God
  2. All Creatures of Our God and King
  3. In the Name of God 
  4. Show Us Christ

Text: Mark 10:13-16
Title: “Like a Child”

This Lord’s Day we return to our study of the gospel of Mark. We will focus on a brief account of people bringing their children to Jesus for His blessing. We will look at five aspects of this account that, together, teach us about the character of our Savior and about the kingdom of God.

     I. The Desire for Blessing (v. 13)
     II. The Disdain for the Helpless (v. 13b)
     III. The Indignation of the Savior (v. 14a)
     IV. The Pronouncements Concerning the Kingdom (vv. 14b–15)
     V. The Demonstration of Love (v. 16)

Songs we will sing this week include the following, provided in a playlist here: 

  1. All Creatures of Our God and King
  2. Only a Holy God
  3. His Mercy is More
  4. Come to Me
  5. We Sing as One

Text: 1 Corinthians 7:10-17
Title: “The Believer and Divorce”

This Lord’s Day we complete our study of marriage, divorce, and remarriage. We finish with Paul’s instruction to the Corinthians. In this passage Paul addresses one of the most difficult issues in the Christian life. How do we advise Christians who are married to unbelievers? What is a Christian to do when an unbelieving spouse wants to leave the marriage? We will hear the Word of God on these matters for both morning and evening services.

Songs we will sing this week include the following, provided in a playlist here: 

  1. All Creatures of Our God and King
  2. Only a Holy God
  3. His Mercy is More
  4. Come to Me
  5. We Sing as One

Text: 1 Peter 3:1-7
Title: “Difficult Marriages”

This Lord’s Day, we will spend our time in 1 Peter 3:1-7. We will see that obedience to Christ, even in difficult times, includes serving the Lord in a difficult marriage. Too many believers are willing to embrace suffering in the Christian life in every realm except marriage. We will be reminded that God is pleased, and Christ is imitated (2:21-23), when Christians bear up under difficult circumstances in marriage. The outline for Sunday morning is:

     I. THE COMMAND FOR WIVES – EVEN IN A DIFFICULT MARRIAGE (v. 1)
     II. THE CONDUCT OF GODLY WIVES – EVEN IN A DIFFICULT MARRIAGE (vv. 2-4)
     III. THE CONFIDENCE OF GODLY WIVES – EVEN IN A DIFFICULT MARRIAGE (vv. 5-6)

Sunday evening, we will concentrate on the responsibilities imparted to husbands in verse 7.

Songs we will sing this week include the following, provided in a playlist here: 

  1. There is a Fountain
  2. It is Well with My Soul
  3. Sing to Jesus
  4. Praise to the Lord
  5. Behold Our God

  1. Come Thou Almighty King

Text: Colossians 3:12-19
Title: “Marriage and the Gospel”

We have been studying marriage in the book of Genesis, and the many truths we have learned can be distilled into two important points: 1) Marriage is God’s doing, and 2) marriage speaks of something greater than marriage. When we move our focus to the New Testament, we see those two big ideas expanded. This Sunday we will focus on that second point, that marriage was designed by God to represent something greater than marriage. Marriage speaks of the relationship between Christ and His church. We could also say that marriage displays a relationship that speaks of God’s grace in salvation. This Lord’s Day we will see that marriage was designed not only to display these truths, but to depend on these truths. Marriage displays the gospel, but marriage also depends on the gospel. We will examine the context that leads to the marriage specific instruction of Colossians 3:18-19. As we do, we will see seven characteristics of what a new life in Christ produces.

Songs we will sing this week include the following, provided in a playlist here: 

  1. A Mighty Fortress
  2. His Mercy is More
  3. In the Name of God
  4. All Glory Be to Christ
