September 18: Witnessing with Authority

Worship with us and 9:30 a.m. this Sunday, September 15, 2024. Pastor Brett’s topic is “Witnessing with Authority” with scriptures that include 1 Corinthians 1:26-31, Deuteronomy 18:15-20, and Mark 1: 21-28.

Synopsis: God’s people often lived in, not just respectful fear of the Lord, but in terror of the Lord. God’s power and glory was seen as so overwhelming that they did not want to hear directly from God, so they asked God for a representative, a prophet. God’s people knew they couldn’t live without God, but they didn’t want to live in fear every time they heard from the Lord.

Our Sunday passage from Deuteronomy 18 tells us that God will send a prophet, an Israelite like them. God sent many prophets to speak for him, including His Son Jesus. Our passage from Mark 1 tells how the people responded to Jesus’ teaching and how He was different.

This coming Sunday, we study another of Jesus’ parables focusing on the Kingdom of God. In the Parable of the Vineyard Workers we see God’s grace displayed in a way that many people feel is not fair. I’m not sure who said it, but it fits this parable, “few things seem more unequal than the equal treatment of unequals.” Today we’ll look at God’s grace and even ask whether it is fair.
