Worship Notes for November
Weekend of Sunday, October 28 23rd Sunday after Pentecost Mark 10:46-52
Sermon Title: “Reflecting God's Goodness with our Time”
In the Gospel reading for today a needy blind person who has faith that Jesus can heal him cried out to him for mercy. The Twelve and others tried to silence the man but Jesus too the time to hear, help, and heal. God gives each of us the gift of time. How do you use it?
Weekend of Sunday, November 4 All Saints Sunday Mark 12:28-34
Sermon Title: “Reflecting God's Goodness with our Talent”
Jesus’ adversaries test his knowledge of scripture and his ability to interpret it. But Jesus was not caught up in their trap and his scriptural knowledge and interpretation and application won the day. What talents do you have that God can use to help your church thrive?
Weekend of Sunday, November 11 25th Sunday after Pentecost Mark 10:17-31
Sermon Title: “Reflecting God's Goodness with our Treasure”
After engaging in a series of public arguments with religious leaders in the temple, Jesus contrasts the proud and oppressive ways of those leaders with the sacrificial humility and poverty of the widow. God is generous and merciful and all have been some to steward. While the amount is not the issue, our faithfulness in our own personal stewardship is.
Weekend of Sunday, November 18 26th Sunday after Pentecost Mark 13:1-8
Sermon Title: “A Quiet and Confident Faith”
In the last week of his life, Jesus warned his disciples concerning trials that were to come upon them and upon the world. He exhorts the listener: Do not be alarmed.
Weekend of Sunday, November 25 Christ the King Sunday Mark 15:1-20; 25-26
Sermon Title: “Jesus Christ is King”
Christ the King Sunday presents an odd way to end the liturgical year, especially when next week is the beginning of Advent. But in the midst of preparations for Christmas, we cannot lose sight of the fact that God sent Jesus for just this moment that we celebrate to day. Jesus became king through the humiliation of the cross and grave, but rose again to be ruler of all. Without Good Friday and Easter there would be no Advent and Christmas.
