25.03.09 Morning Sermon Mark 8_14-21 The Leaven

On this first Sunday of Lent,  Luke Parker helps us dive into the message of Luke 5:27-32, challenging us to rethink our understanding of repentance and God's grace. The story of Jesus calling Levi, a despised tax collector, reminds us that Christ came for the sick, not the righteous. We're confronted with the uncomfortable truth that it's often the 'good' people who struggle most to accept God's radical love. This message invites us to examine our own hearts: Are we clinging to our righteousness, or are we willing to admit our brokenness and need for Jesus? The parallels drawn between ancient tax collectors and our modern tendency to label and judge others are particularly convicting. As we reflect on this, we're encouraged to see people as Jesus does - not through societal labels, but as individuals in need of God's transformative love. This teaching urges us to embrace true repentance, not as a prerequisite for God's grace, but as our response to His already-offered love.

April 6 - Fifth Sunday of Lent (2025)

This week, the religious leaders desperately want to get rid of Jesus. So, they come up with a plan that has a series of traps with questions about 1) how much do they defer to Roman authorities, 2)the resurrection, and 3)which commandment is the greatest? They hated and feared Jesus and after the last two interactions, they wanted Him off the scene. They were looking for a way to turn the people against Him or have Rome arrest Him and kill Him.  Remember, it was Passover week, and this was the time for messiahs to rise up. The questions were meant to trap Jesus, but He gives us insight into how we are to live out what we believe practically relating to the government, our view of Heaven, and living out the greatest commandment. In Israel, the priests (Levi) represented God’s rule/law  and the Kings (Judah) represented government rule/law.   King Uzziah tried to cross the line and was struck with leprosy.  There is only one priest/king – Jesus! Politicians/gov’ts don’t define or dictate God’s law.God’s Law reigns supreme over every other authority.

The church of Christ at Fairview Park is a group of Christians committed to following just the Bible in all that we say and do. Our goal is to be a local church like those found in the pages of the New Testament. Our collective worship and work reflect this focus.  

Our weekly uploads are Bible lessons presented by Fairview Evangelists.  We invite you to study the Bible with us.

Like those found in the pages of the New Testament, the Fairview Park church is completely independent of all other churches. The elders have authority over this congregation (Heb 13:7, 17; 1 Pet 5:1-4) and they answer only to Jesus – not any other church or body.

We would love for you to join us for worship. If you have any questions about what we do or concerns about whether we are following the New Testament, we sincerely encourage you to contact us.

An Anglican evangelical church close to Hampstead Heath. Living for Jesus, sharing his good news.

At Midtown Presbyterian Church, we value honest questions and genuine community, working alongside one another as we discover more about what it means to follow Jesus in the modern world, and in Phoenix. You are welcome here.
Listen to our teachings in this podcast to follow us, and be sure to join us Sunday mornings; visit thespringmidtown.org to learn more.
