The Bible Chapel Sermons

“Deny Himself”—Destroy the idol of self-centeredness Jesus is not asking us to lose our personalities, die as a martyr, or live a life of self-rejection and self-hatred. We are not to live a life of asceticism. He is asking us to turn from the idol of self-centeredness. “Take up his cross and follow me”—Daily Surrender Jesus’ audience had seen a person take up their cross too many times. The condemned criminal would carry his own crossbar to the place of crucifixion—a painful, shameful death. Carrying one’s cross demonstrated submission to Roman authority that he had rebelled against and a symbol of agreement regarding the charge and verdict. Jesus used “carrying the cross” to mean that each day we are to surrender to God. Save your life, you lose it. Lose your life, you save it. The word for life is not bios by phyuche. Phyuche describes the soul—the part that wills, thinks, feels, and has the power to reason and emote. The word describes our personality with all our hopes and aspirations. God has made us find complete rest and contentment and satisfaction only in him. We are heirs of eternal life forever with God. Gain the whole world and forfeit your soul. The world here is the world system of evil that Satan heads up. The world—with its pursuits, pleasure, purposes, and people—is the place where God is not wanted.

Mark reports three miracles in chapter 5. First, there is the healing of a demonic man on the east side of the Sea of Galilee. Then, back on the west side, a healing of a woman who had been sick for 12 years. Finally, the raising to life of a twelve-year-old girl. Each person was in a desperate situation. These three incidents show Jesus’ authority, compassion, and power. MARK 5: AUTHORITY. COMPASSION. POWER The Authority of Jesus (Mark 5:1-20) The man was desperate. Possessed by many demons, he lived among the tombs screaming and shrieking throughout the day and night. Too strong to be chained or shackled, he roamed naked through the area and cut himself with sharp stones. Then, he met Jesus. Jesus cast out the demons and allowed them to enter a herd of pigs. The man was transformed, but the townspeople were more concerned about money than miracles. They asked Jesus to leave the area. The formerly demon-possessed man spread the news of Jesus throughout the area. The Compassion of Jesus (Mark 5:21-32) The woman was desperate. For 12 years, she had suffered from a “discharge of blood.” The illness caused her to be “unclean” and live as a social outcast. She had spent all her money on physicians, but their remedies only resulted in her declining health. She was physically and emotionally weak. Her last hope was Jesus. Her faith, demonstrated by touching Jesus’ robe, healed her body and soul. Jesus said, “Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from your suffering (Mark 5:34) The Power of Jesus (Mark 5:33-43) Jairus was desperate; his daughter was dying. All his wealth and prestige as a leader in the synagogue couldn’t save her. He fell at Jesus’ feet pleading for healing. On the way to his house, the reports came that the daughter had died, but Jesus was not deterred. He raised Jairus’ daughter from the dead demonstrating his power over death itself. -------- DAILY DEVOTIONAL WITH RON MOORE Get Ron’s Daily Devotional to your inbox each morning; visit biblechapel.org/devo.

The Resurrection is not an event we celebrate once a year but the power of God that we experience every day of our lives. And was Jesus the only one who was raised from the dead? The Bible tells us that every follower of Jesus has been raised to life as well—we have been raised with Jesus. Paul wrote this to the early Christians: You were also raised with him through faith in the powerful working of God, who raised him from the dead. -Colossians 2:12 The Resurrected life provides freedom, identity, and hope for every believer. -------- DAILY DEVOTIONAL WITH RON MOORE Get Ron’s Daily Devotional to your inbox each morning; visit biblechapel.org/devo.

The Gospel According to Mark: Introduction Each of the four Gospels in the New Testament takes on a different “personality” and focus. Matthew (dated late 50s/early 60s) is written to the Jews to show that Jesus is the Messiah. Luke wrote a two-volume set (his Gospel and Acts) around A.D. 62. His Gospel is written to a Greek audience (in particular, Theophilus), proving that Jesus is the Son of Man. John, who wrote his Gospel around A.D. 80-90, makes his purpose clear in John 20:31: “…These are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.” Mark was the first Gospel written, and it is dated in the A.D. 50s. It’s a hard-hitting and fast-paced account. Mark does not focus so much on what Jesus said, but on what he did. Throughout the book, there is a sense of urgency. The word translated “immediately” is found over 40 times in the book. He presents Jesus as the Servant. The key verse of this book is, “For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve and give his life as a ransom for many” (Mark 10:45). Most scholars believe that Mark was led to Christ by Peter (1 Pet 5:13) and that his book is based on Peter’s sermons. Papias wrote in A.D. 140 that Mark was the “interpreter of Peter” and many early church fathers agreed. -------- DAILY DEVOTIONAL WITH RON MOORE Get Ron’s Daily Devotional to your inbox each morning; visit biblechapel.org/devo.

Papias wrote in A.D. 140 that Mark was the “interpreter of Peter,” and many early church fathers agree. Mark came from a wealthy family, and his mother was a well-known believer in Jerusalem. It is possible that the last supper was served in her home. Her house was a meeting place for the early church in Acts (Acts 1:13-14, 12:12). Mark’s uncle was Barnabas. Mark joined Barnabas and Paul on their first missionary journey but returned home in the middle of the trip. When Barnabas wanted to take Mark on the second trip, Paul refused, and that ended in Barnabas and Paul splitting up. Later they reconciled. -------- DAILY DEVOTIONAL WITH RON MOORE Get Ron’s Daily Devotional to your inbox each morning; visit biblechapel.org/devo.

Today is part four of a series on prayer. The purpose of this series is to understand that prayer is simply talking to our heavenly Father. The Scriptural focus of our study is Matthew 6:5-15 where Jesus provided prayer instruction for believers. This prayer is intended to be a model for believers to follow, not simply a prayer to be recited. We have stressed that prayer is an ongoing conversation with God. Last time, we began considering biblical forgiveness. We addressed the Forgiveness of Salvation and the Forgiveness of Believers. Today, we will focus on Forgiving Ourselves and Forgiving Others. --------- DAILY DEVOTIONAL WITH RON MOORE Get Ron’s Daily Devotional to your inbox each morning; visit biblechapel.org/devo.

Today is part two of a series on prayer. The purpose of this series is to understand that prayer is simply talking to our heavenly Father. The Scriptural focus of our study will be Matthew 6:5-15, where Jesus provided prayer instruction for believers. This prayer is intended to be a model for believers to follow, not simply a prayer to be recited. Prayer is a personal conversation with God. --------- DAILY DEVOTIONAL WITH RON MOORE Get Ron’s Daily Devotional to your inbox each morning; visit biblechapel.org/devo.
