S2E42: Three Pillars (Ash Wednesday 2015)
Thursday Feb 18, 2021
Thursday Feb 18, 2021
Sermon #101
In the Sermon on the Mount as recorded by Matthew, Jesus tells us of how we are to give, pray, and fast. As Lent begins, we are given an opportunity to spend a little more time with God, deny ourselves for His sake, and give sacrificially that which was given to us by God. In this context, giving, praying and fasting are seen as the three pillars of Christianity, spiritual disciplines that each Christian ought to engage in. So grab your Bible, turn it to Matthew chapter 6, and prepare your heart and mind as we look at Three Pillars.

S2E41: The Glory of the Lord (Transfiguration Sunday 2015)
Tuesday Feb 16, 2021
Tuesday Feb 16, 2021
What is the glory of the Lord? We often talk about God's glory but what is it, really? We learn in the old testament that God's glory shone from the face of Moses, and his glory dwelt on the mercy seat between the cherubim on the ark of the covenant. Today we look at the transfiguration of Christ, and how God's glory is revealed in the person of Jesus. So grab your Bible, turn it to Mark chapter 9, and prepare your heart and mind as we look at the glory of the Lord.
The in-person service was canceled on this particular day, due to adverse weather conditions. This message was recorded at the Hudson UMC Parsonage.

S2E40: Why He Came (Epiphany 2015)
Monday Feb 08, 2021
Monday Feb 08, 2021
Mark's gospel is a gospel of action. We are still in the first chapter and we have already seen the baptism of Jesus, casting out demons, the calling of the first disciples and teachings in the synagogues. In today's reading, we find out a key element of Jesus' ministry as he reveals what it is he came to do. It's a message that we can take to heart as we go out into the world to be the light of the world and to emulate Christ. So grab your Bible, turn it to Mark chapter 1, and prepare your heart and mind as we discover why he came.

S2E39: The Authority of Christ (Epiphany 2015)
Tuesday Feb 02, 2021
Tuesday Feb 02, 2021
There was something different in the way that Jesus taught in the synagogue, and the people who heard him knew it immediately. In today's message we're going to look at how, as the very Word of God, Jesus had perfect authority to speak on God's word, and to speak God's commands to all creation. And we will also look at what Christ's authority means for us today, and take a hard look at whether we accept his authority, or would rather have the word of God diluted to meet our satisfaction. So grab your Bible, turn it to Mark chapter one, and prepare your heart and mind as we examine the Authority of Christ.
