Mark 7:1-13

  • Another delegation of fact finding religious leaders have come from Jerusalem because they heard about Jesus’ ministry in Galilee.
  • Instead of coming to learn because of the miracles, they came to criticize!
  • Are we blown away or critical of Jesus and His disciples?
  • Jesus calls these leaders hypocrites! Lips that praise God, but hearts that are far from God. (Putting on a mask.)
  • Let’s get our hearts right before God! Let’s not get caught up in traditions and rules of men, and miss the heart of God.

Review of Mark chapters 1-6:

Introduction: Do We Have As Much Sense As A Goose? (Author Unknown)

This fall when you see geese heading back south for the winter flying in a “V” formation, you might be interested in knowing what scientists have discovered about why they fly that way. It has been learned that as each bird flaps its wings, it creates an uplift for the bird immediately following. By flying in “V” formation, the whole flock adds at least 71 percent greater flying range than if each bird flew on its own. People who share a common direction and sense of community can get where they are going more quickly and easily because they are traveling on the thrust of one another.

Mark Series part 10, U Gotta B Kiddin Me! – Outline

There was an incredible game played this week in the Big East Basketball Tournament! Syracuse (ranked 20th in the nation) beat Connecticut (ranked 4th in the nation) in six overtimes! After the game, many people exclaimed “U Gotta B Kiddin Me!” For Syracuse fans it was an incredible victory that will be in the conversation of “one of the best games ever played in men’s college basketball.” The 64 year old “hall of fame” Syracuse coach  Jim Boeheim said, “I have never been prouder of a team. They would not lose this game!”

When we get to heaven, we want God to be able to look at us and say, “I have never been prouder. These disciples would not lose their faith and they would not lose the souls of my lost children!”

Mark Series part 9, Mayhem before the Madness – Outline

15 of us took a roadtrip to Milwaukee yesterday for a basketball game between Marquette and Syracuse! Many of us planted this church from Syracuse, New York, and so you can imagine who we were chearing for. Syracuse won in overtime, and we were automatically “best of friends” with anyone wearing “Syracuse wear” on the way out of the arena. All the regional tournaments are going to happen this next week throughout the country, and it’s being promoted as the Mayhem before the Madness. Last month (from February 1 to March 1) 10 people were baptized in the Chicago International Christian Church (with only 100 disciples)! That’s twice as many as any previous month! But that wasn’t the madness… that was just the Mayhem before the Madness!

Mark 6:30-44 … The Mayhem before the Madness.
