Christopher Harrison Teaches Mark 1 (day 5): Fishing For People
August 11, 2023 03:32 - 3 minutes - 3.21 MBIn Mark's Gospel chapter 1, Jesus said the words “come and follow me.” And then he goes on to say, “I'll send you out to fish for people.” And then verse 18 says, “At once they left their nets and followed him.” Isn't that a powerful phrase? I wondered about the immediacy of our willingness to follow God. And when God calls us and God engages with us, I think He gauges our love for him by our obedience. To love and obey all kind of inextricably linked; to love somebody is to do what they wa...
Christopher Harrison Teaches Mark 1 (day 4): Sent Out
August 10, 2023 02:30 - 2 minutes - 2.43 MBAs we continue in Mark's Gospel, I pick up the second part of chapter 1 verse 17, and Jesus says, having said, “Come follow me”, he now goes on and says, and “I will send you out to fish for people.” There is a powerful thing which we don't really take seriously enough in our world today, and that is the word “go”. And sending out is the nature of the church. The word “ecclesia” is the Greek word for church and it's the called out ones, the sent ones, the summoned ones. And so right from th...
Christopher Harrison Teaches Mark 1 (day 3): Come Follow Me
August 09, 2023 03:23 - 2 minutes - 2.15 MBToday we're picking up verse 17 where Jesus continues in his engagement with people and says to these folk, both Simon and Andrew and others, “Come, follow me.” Let's stay with those three words for the moment. Understand that God is the inviting God! As Dallas Willard reminded me, God is the great includer. And He continues to invite - invite to the banquet, invite into his presence, invite children. Jesus looks at you in the face today and says, “Come, come to me, come to me.” This is ...
Christopher Harrison Teaches Mark 1 (day 2): Jesus Sees You!
August 08, 2023 03:17 - 2 minutes - 1.95 MBRev. Christopher Harrison is sharing with us this week! We’re journeying this week through Mark’s gospel chapter 1 verse 16, where Jesus walked beside the Sea of Galilee and saw Simon and his brother Andrew casting nets and so on. Let's hold on to this. In our world today, Jesus is the risen one who's walking alongside of you, and He is the one who is incarnate. He walks amongst us, holding into our presence the love of God right here and right now. We're not just talking about a historic...
Christopher Harrison Teaches Mark 1 (day 1): The Time Has Come
August 07, 2023 03:00 - 1 minute - 1.79 MBRev. Christopher Harrison joins me to talk teach from Mark 1 this week! As we dip into the Scriptures this week, taking us to Mark's Gospel chapter 1 and verse 15. “The time has come,” says Jesus. “The Kingdom of God has come near.” Just think about that at the moment - what we think about is time. How are we using our time? And of course there is lineal time, which is - kind of - starts and ends in a kind of a line. But there’s Kairos time, and that is God's time, and God invites us in...
