And behold, they cried out, "What have you to do with us, O Son of God? Have you come here to torment us before the time?" Now a herd of many pigs was feeding at some distance from them. And the demons begged him, saying, "If you cast us out, send us away into the herd of pigs." And he said to them, "Go." So they came out and went into the pigs, and behold, the whole herd rushed down the steep bank into the sea and drowned in the waters.

Many people do not believe in demons, or the supernatural. Our western culture tends to elevate science so much that we don't even talk about supernatural forces, lest we be labeled a fruitcake. But demon possession is a fact, and it was running rampant in Christ's time. Did the appearance of the Messiah stir up the demonic world? The first century Jews in Palestine don't seem particularly surprised by demon possession; it seems to have been going on for some time. Are they just ignorant, or were things different in the world at that time? What does Jesus power over demons mean to us today? Are there evil forces at work in our world? Does Christ's power over the forces of evil give us comfort? Are we able to talk about this subject or does it make us extremely uncomfortable. Come and hear more this Sunday at 10:30 a.m.

And Jesus said, "Who was it that touched me?" When all denied it, Peter said, "Master, the crowds surround you and are pressing in on you!" But Jesus said, "Someone touched me, for I perceive that power has gone out from me." Luke 8:44-46

The woman had been bleeding for 12 years. She spent all her money on doctors, who caused her a lot of discomfort, but couldn't cure her. On the contrary, her condition was getting worse. Perhaps we've experienced illnesses like this, or known of someone who has. Medical bills piling up, a worsening condition, even the reality of impending death have touched the lives of many people, including Christians. Does God step in and do anything for us? Sometimes he does; sometimes he doesn't, but he always hears our prayers and he always responds with love. During Jesus' ministry he miraculously cured hundreds of people, like this woman who had suffered so much. Why did Jesus use his miraculous power to heal her but not other Christians today? He commends her for her faith; does this mean our faith is not as strong? Sometimes we have more questions than answers. Come and hear more this Sunday at 10:30 a.m.

]]> On the Fringe https://www.lambofgodseattle.org/blog/post/on-the-fringe https://www.lambofgodseattle.org/blog/post/on-the-fringe#comments Thu, 15 Aug 2013 10:00:00 -0700 https://www.lambofgodseattle.org/blog/post/on-the-fringe Christ gave his entire life for us, his bride, the church, lived and died and rose back to life for us, that we might live with him forever in paradise. There is no greater love known to man than when someone gives their life for another. Christ died for people who hadn't even been born yet, people like you and me, who were still twenty-one centuries yet to come. He died for people of every kind of background, not just 'good church-going folk,' but people who are on the fringe of society, people who, for a multitude of reasons, are outcasts, disenfranchised, unsupported or alone. In fact, these are the people that drew Jesus' attention the most and still do today.

The question is, as the bride of Christ, do we have the same compassion as our Savior?! When we talk about people on the fringe, we're referring to the poor, the widowed, the orphans, the people with great spiritual and physical needs, who have no one else to care about them or love them. Instead of being on the fringe, as society might view them, God sees them as central to his Christian mission.

The apostle James wrote, Religion that is pure and undefiled before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world. James 1:21-27

And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ." Ephesians 4:10-12

This Sunday we're continuing our sermon series on the Church-- the body of believers in Christ in the local congregation. Some people might suggest that the organized church is more trouble than it is worth, that the people in the organized church are nothing but territorial hypocrites and best avoided if possible. The problem with this attitude is that Christ himself created the organized church and blessed it with leaders who, through their work and leadership, have saved millions of souls. One such office is the office of pastor. Though pastors aren't perfect, they carry out a very special calling which comes directly from Christ. Their job, as the passage above states, is to "equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ."

Come and hear more about how pastors equip and build up the church, and take a fresh look at the hand of Christ at work in your life, blessing and strengthening you for your life's work-- the work of ministry. We worship every Sunday at 10:30 a.m.

]]> Jonah--Repentance and Forgiveness https://www.lambofgodseattle.org/blog/post/jonah--repentance-and-forgiveness https://www.lambofgodseattle.org/blog/post/jonah--repentance-and-forgiveness#comments Tue, 23 Jul 2013 13:00:00 -0700 https://www.lambofgodseattle.org/blog/post/jonah--repentance-and-forgiveness In ancient times, the Hebrew prophet Jonah was sent to Ninevah, the capitol of Assyria, one of the most powerful nations in the Middle East, to warn them that unless they repented of their sins, God would destroy them. The people believed the prophet, from the lowliest of them all the way up to the king. Jonah records that ...

"The word reached the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his throne, removed his robe, covered himself with sackcloth, and sat in ashes." Jonah 3:6

Can you imagine the head of any rich and powerful nation doing this today, especially if the warning came from a foreigner? Yet the king's unconditional repentance and self-abasement saved his people. Changing one's ways comes at a high cost, yet what is gained is far better. This is not always easy to see, however, as one young man discovered in Jesus' day. He thought he might like to be a follower of Jesus, yet when Jesus presents him with the cost of discipleship, he changes his mind. The apostle Luke records this exchange between Jesus and the young man.

Jesus: "You know the commandments: 'Do not commit adultery, Do not murder, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honor your father and mother.'" And [the young man] said, "All these I have kept from my youth." When Jesus heard this, he said to him, "One thing you still lack. Sell all that you have and distribute to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me." But when he heard these things, he became very sad, for he was extremely rich. Luke 18:20-23

Repentance comes at a cost ... the unconditional surrender of our sinful ways, and our love for the world, in exchange for obedience to Jesus Christ. Though to us this seems like God is asking a lot, it is nothing compared to what Jesus surrendered on the cross where, hour after hour, he suffered unspeakable agonies to pay for our sins and save us from death. He gave his last breath for us, that we might enjoy the joys and riches of life in a new world. Come and hear more this Sunday at 10:30 a.m.

You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise."

Few people, perhaps, would make the connection between loving God and teaching children the faith, but this is exactly what God commands parents to do to show their love for Him. It makes perfect sense when you think about it. There is no greater gift than eternal life, no finer thing to teach our children than God's love for sinners, his desire to forgive and save us through faith in Jesus Christ. Though the church of Christ is made up of souls of all ages, young and old, we all have the charge from Christ to love each other as he loved us. The older ones teach the younger ones the faith, the younger ones take care of the older ones when they get too old to take care of themselves. The beautiful bride of Christ is a community of love and caring, and this is what makes the church so beautiful. Come and hear more this Sunday at 10:30 a.m.

Instead of obeying, Jonah fled in the opposite direction, imagining he could thwart God's plans to save the Assyrians. How foolish! Jonah's hatred of the Assyrians (Israel's historic enemy) fueled his defiance. Would we fare any better? What if you or I were sent to Libya or Iran to warn them on God's behalf? Would we go? Where we balk at God's command to proclaim Law and Gospel, Jesus didn't hesitate for an instant.

Therefore I testify to you this day that I am innocent of the blood of all of you, for I did not shrink from declaring to you the whole counsel of God.

Paul grieves over the fact that he will not see the Christians at Ephesus again. They also grieve, because he spent several years among them, teaching and preaching and founding congregations in that city and saving many souls. To our ears, it seems rather startling that Paul declares himself innocent of their blood, but he is referring to the Scriptures which held prophets accountable to God if they did not warn those to whom they were sent.

Ezekiel 3:18 If I say to the wicked, 'You shall surely die,' and you give him no warning, nor speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way, in order to save his life, that wicked person shall die for his iniquity, but his blood I will require at your hand.

Like the prophets of old, the apostles had the same responsibility to proclaim the truth about the consequences of sin, and to lead people to repentance and a saving faith in Jesus Christ.

So the other disciples told him, "We have seen the Lord." But he said to them, "Unless I see in his hands the mark of the nails, and place my finger into the mark of the nails, and place my hand into his side, I will never believe." Eight days later, his disciples were inside again, and Thomas was with them. Although the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, "Peace be with you." Then he said to Thomas, "Put your finger here, and see my hands; and put out your hand, and place it in my side. Do not disbelieve, but believe." Thomas answered him, "My Lord and my God!" Jesus said to him, "Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed." Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book; but these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.

Jesus knew that his resurrection from the dead would be difficult for many to accept, even those closest to him. Christians who believe firmly in the resurrection need to make allowances for the doubting Thomases in this life, whether we find them in the church or out in the world. After all, Jesus went out of his way to convince Thomas to believe in him because, as John the apostle says, these things were written that we might believe and that by believing we may 'have life in his name.' Our role as Christians is not to denigrate those who doubt, but earnestly try to convince them that they too might be saved. Those of us who have never seen Christ, yet believe in the resurrection have been blessed with faith which comes from the Holy Spirit, and through that faith we have the assurance of eternal life.
