4/24/22 Worship Service and Sermon: Love and Power: Impossible Repentance - Mark 10:17-27

/ Brick Lane Community Church/

Join us for worship!

Worship Leader: Steve Boyer
Speaker: Charles M. Garriott
Scripture: Mark 10:17-27
Title: Love and Power: Impossible Repentance

As Jesus started on his way, a man ran up to him and fell on his knees before him.
"Good teacher," he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?" "Why do you call me good?"
Jesus answered. "No one is good--except God alone. You know the commandments: 'You shall not murder, you shall not commit adultery, you shall not steal, you shall not give false testimony, you shall not defraud, honor your father and mother.'"
"Teacher," he declared, "all these I have kept since I was a boy." Jesus looked at him and loved him. "One thing you lack," he said. "God, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me."
At this the man's face fell. He went away sad because he had great wealth. Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, "How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!" The disciples were amazed at his words. But Jesus said again, "Children, how hard it is to enter the kingdom of God! It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God."
The disciples were even more amazed, and said to each other, "Who then can be saved?"
Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God.”

Notes:

Gospel Repentance

To understand and apply Gospel repentance, three questions must be answered. (How am I like the rich young ruler?)

1. What do you believe about yourself?
a. Rich man asks, “What must I do to inherit eternal life?”
b. Self sufficient

2. How well do you see?
a. Rich man does not see he's in the presence of God.
b. Rich man is blind to his need for a savior. at this time

3. What is the focus of your love?
Rich man: "What must I do?"
Jesus: "Sell everything you own, give the money to the poor, and follow Me." (A different I, the “I AM”)

The rich man walks away sad, unchanged, but with much to think about.

"For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith--that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

/ Brick Lane Community Church/

Join us for worship!

4/3/2022 Worship Service and Sermon from Brick Lane Community Church in Elverson, PA.

Worship Leader: Dawson Estes
Speaker: Rich Goswiller
Scripture: 1 Peter 3:13-17
Title: Suffering for Righteousness' Sake

"Now who is there to harm you if you are zealous for what is good? But even if you should suffer for righteousness' sake, you will be blessed. Have no fear of them, nor be troubled, but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect, having a good conscience, so that, when you are slandered, those who revile your good behavior in Christ may be put to shame. For it is better to suffer for doing good, if that should be God's will, than for doing evil."

Notes:

By God’s grace, and with his help:

vv. 13-14a: We must have the right perspective
vv. 14b-15a: We must do the right thing
vv. 15b-16a: We must imitate Jesus' example
vv. 16b-17: We must trust God's sovereignty
