Title: “Dogs, Pearls, and Pigs”
Scripture: Matt. 7:6
Date: 03-26-17 Sun. PM
Description: “Judge not that you may not be judged!” Isn’t that the response we get from unbelievers and Christians who don’t interpret the Bible correctly? They say “think the best of others and be positive.” What does this text really teach about judging? What does it not teach? And what about the dogs, pearls, and pigs?

Title: “Lord of the Sabbath – Part 2”
Scripture: Mark 3:1-6
Date: 03-19-17 Sun. PM
Description: What is legalism or a legalist? Legalism is adding to the Bible man-made rules or traditions for salvation or spirituality! A legalist is the one who does it. The Pharisees had developed a system of 613 laws, 365 negative commands and 248 positive laws. By the time Christ came on the scene, they had produced a heartless, cold, and arrogant brand of righteousness. Jesus directly confronted the man-made traditions and rules of the self-righteous Pharisees that added their oral traditions to the Biblical Sabbath.
In this two-part message, Pastor Ken addresses two incidents where Jesus challenged the Pharisees regarding their understanding of the Sabbath. This sermon presents the second example, dealing with healing a man with a withered hand on the Sabbath day.

Title: “Sinners Only”
Scripture: Mark 2:13-17
Date: 02-26-17 Sun. PM
Description: The glory of the gospel is that God receives unworthy sinners who know they are not worthy to receive forgiveness. They repent and believe in the Lord Jesus Christ. Someone called this the scandal of grace because God forgives those who don’t deserve it. In this text, Jesus reveals the people to whom He extends forgiveness – repentant sinners. The gospel is for sinners only.
