Mark 5:25-34

Mark 5:25-34

Let us never forget that serving is about helping others in need. But let us also never forget that every time we serve others, we teach a little life lesson in faith, to those whom we serve, and to ourselves.

Jesus didn’t have to stop when He felt healing power go out of him into someone else. After all, he was going to help a family with a sick child. Yet he stops . . . and teaches a lesson about faith.

That lesson . . . the faith in our hearts is best lived out through compassion for others. Jesus stops and tells the woman, “your faith has made you well. Go in peace. You are well!”

Every time we serve . . . let us share God’s love, and help people experience the peace that comes when a need is supplied.

Dear Lord, help me have the heart to serve whomever needs me. Open my eyes to the endless possibilities of service, for the sake of Your Kingdom, that I not be lifted up, but that You be lifted up. Amen.

Mark 6:30-44

The feeding of the 5,000 people is a great story of faith, belief, wonder and awe.

Simply put, the disciples saw no way for them to feed 5,000 people with the meager resources they had in hand.

I wonder if we thought the same thing when we reached out to increase the number of children we decided to feed this past summer through the Feed the Children program at the area apartment houses in our community and at our Grapevine Village? We went from serving children for a week, to serving children for many weeks. We served and feed children pretty much the entire summer.

We also learned the same lesson that Jesus taught the disciples. If you serve someone who needs you, God will supply the resources that are needed.

Dear Lord, help me have the heart to serve whomever needs me. Open my eyes to the endless possibilities of service, for the sake of Your Kingdom, that I not be lifted up, but that You be lifted up. Amen.

Mark 10:35-45

“For the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve…”

As I said Sunday, there is a rhythm to faith and ministry the Lord teaches us. Spend time with God soaking up the Lord’s love, and then coming down from the mountaintop to share that love serving the needs of others... Being with God, then sharing the being of God. Too often people are overly concerned with how the church is serving them rather than how they can serve others. There is a balance.

Mark 11:12-14

“When [Jesus] came to [the fig tree], he found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs.”

Strangely enough, this is one of my favorite scriptures. Jesus curses a fig tree because it didn’t have any fruit on it he could eat. It sounds a little narcissistic doesn’t it? The fig tree represents the church and you and me as its members. People are looking to be fed. Are we bearing the fruit that will feed them? What fruit of the spirit found in Galatians 5:22-26 are you and our church exhibiting? What new ministry is God calling you to provide to feed those who are hungry for the Word?

Mark 1:21-27

“I know who you are, the Holy One of God.”

These are the words of the demon living in the man with the unclean spirit. The demon might have known who Jesus was, but he didn’t believe in him. The demon gave authority in its life to the evil forces of the world. It is one thing to call Jesus “the Holy One of God”; it is another to live and act as one who believes he is “the Holy One of God.” Look at the story in Mark 8:27-38. Peter, like the demon, knew the right words to say, but he didn’t truly believe.
