Putting Others First

Saturday, June 24, 2017 Putting Others First Scripture: Mark 9:33-37 (Matthew 18:1-5, Luke 22:24-30) Who Is the Greatest? 33 Then He came to Capernaum. And when He was in the house He asked them, “What was it you disputed among yourselves on the road?”34 But they kept silent, for on the road they had disputed among themselves who would be the greatest. 35 And He sat down, called the twelve, and said to them, “If anyone desires to be first, he shall be last of all and servant of all.” 36 Then He took a little child and set him in the midst of them. And when He had taken him in His arms, He said to them, 37 “Whoever receives one of these little children in My name receives Me; and whoever receives Me, receives not Me but Him who sent Me.” Mark 10:14-15 But when Jesus saw it, he was indignant and said to them, “Let the children come to me; do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God.

For truly, I say to you, if you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you.” Hebrews 10:39 But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who have faith and preserve their souls. Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. Hebrews 11:6 And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him. Hebrews 12:2 looking to Jesus, the founder and for we walk by faith, not by s...

The Beauty and Majesty of Jesus

Thursday, June 22, 2017 The Beauty and Majesty of Jesus Scripture: Mark 9:2-3 (Luke 9:28-36, Matthew 17:1-8) 2  Now after six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John, and led them up on a high mountain apart by themselves; and He was transfigured before them.  3  His clothes became shining, exceedingly white, like snow, such as no launderer on earth can whiten them.  Revelation 1:10-18 10  I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s Day, and I heard behind me a loud voice, as of a trumpet,  11  saying, “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last,” and, [ f ]  “What you see, write in a book and send  it  to the seven churches which are in Asia: [ g ]  to Ephesus, to Smyrna, to Pergamos, to Thyatira, to Sardis, to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.” 12  Then I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. And having turned I saw seven golden lampstands,  13  and in the midst of the seven lampstan...
