So good to see all of you here today.  If you've been with us, you know we've been walking our way through the Gospel of Mark.  Starting about the eighth chapter of Mark, Jesus begins to orient himself and his disciples toward Jerusalem, where he'll eventually end up, in what we call, Holy Week.  Today we're looking at Mark 10.  At the beginning of Mark 10, there's an encounter that Jesus has with the Pharisees over the issue of divorce.  After that, a bunch of children come to Jesus and they want to sit with them and the disciples get all upset so he has to correct them.  Let the little kids come to me, because that's what the kingdom of God is about---accepting Him as a little child does.  Then once again, Jesus points himself toward Jerusalem.  He's talking about his death and gets everyone freaked out.  James and John come up to him, in a narrative after that, and they make this weird request that when Jesus comes into his kingdom, they want to sit on his right and on his left---they feel entitled. After

It is well with my soul.  Sometimes when I'm singing this song, I want to take that truth and I want to push it, infuse it, into the inward parts of my soul.  Sometimes I also look around and I know those people that are singing it from the overflow of their heart.  You know those people.  The ones who are sitting in the midst of their storm.  Maybe they've been diagnosed with cancer and in the midst of treatment, they're able to have a beautiful smile on their face and say, "It is well with my soul."  I have some friends who lost a child---a stillborn birth.  They never got to meet their child.  And yet, on their blog and social media posts they said, "The Lord gives and the Lord takes away.  Blessed be the name of the Lord."     Right now, I'm following my sister's updates on my dad.  Currently he has something in his foot that needs to be removed.  Over the last couple of years, he's been having eye issues---there's an amoeba that got stuck in his eye.  Over this last week it started to act up and he's i

Ladies, I have something I need to tell those of you who are currently in a relationship or hope to be in a relationship with a handsome fella. It might be hard to hear, but I need you to hear it:  MEN ARE GROSS SOMETIMES!!  I can't tell you how many times I’ve been eating at a restaurant and need to go to the restroom.  So I go in and do my business, and then wash my hands. And I can’t tell you how many times someone was in the urinal next to me, and while I washed my hands,  they finished their business, flushed, walked towards the sink, and walked right passed it, and grabbed the door handle and went back to their table.  I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been washing my hands when I hear a toilet flush, the stall door opens---and you know what happens in the stall---and I see a man walk out of the stall toward the sink, only to walk right passed it, and go to the door and HEAD BACK TO THE TABLE!!!  I can't tell you how many times I’ve wanted to follow him out of the restroom to his table and tell his

On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee.  Jesus' mother was there, and Jesus and his disciples had been invited to the wedding also.  When the wine was gone, Jesus mother said to him, “They have no more wine.” "Dear woman, why do you involve me," Jesus replied, "my hour has not yet come."  Jesus mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you to do.”  Nearby stood six stone water jars, the kind used by the Jews for ceremonial washing, each holding from twenty to thirty gallons.  Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water;" so they filled them to the brim.  Then he told them, “Now draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet.”  They did so, and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned to wine. He did not realize where it had come from, though the servants who drew it out knew. Then he called the bridegroom aside and said, “Everyone brings out the choice wine first and then the cheaper wine after the guests have all had to much to drink, but yo

" We are in the process of going through the gospel of Mark. This morning, we're going to cover a lot of territory in Mark 5.  Before we get into this text, I'm going to ask you to join your hearts together with me in prayer.  Father, we've gathered together today to rejoice in you and worship you and bless you.  Lord, I thank you for every person that is here today.  Thank you for your church.  Lord, I want to pray for your church globally today, whether it's in Japan or Jakarta, whether it's in Austria or Argentina.  We think of the church in the United States.  Whether it's in Oregon or Ohio.  We think of the church here in Denver and Englewood and Littleton.  Lord, we pray that you would bless your church, that you would use her to extend the good news of the gospel and expand your kingdom of grace and love.  Lord, we also thank you for your Word.  We thank you for what it teaches us about you and what you're doing.  So as we look into this text this morning, out of Mark's gospel, we pray that you might

We are in this series going through the Gospel of Mark.  Today we're taking chapter 4, which is the longest chapter so far (about 40 some verses).  I'm going to ask you to read the first eleven verses with me.  Again Jesus began to teach by the lake.  The crowd that gathered around him was so large that he got into a boat and sat in it out on the lake, while all the people were along the shore at the water's edge.  He taught them many things by parables, and in his teaching said:  "Listen!  A farmer went out to sow his seed.  As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up.  Some fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil.  It sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow.  But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered because they had no root.  Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants, so that they did not bear grain.  Still other seed fell on good soil. It came up, grew and produced a crop, some multiplyi

If you don't know me, my name is Aaron Bjorklund.  I am the Creative Arts Pastor and that means I'm usually up here leading singing.  Today I have the privilege of bringing the Scriptures and I'm really excited about that.  Over the past three weeks, we've started a series through the gospel of Mark entitled "And Then What Happened?"  I love this title for the gospel of Mark, because it sort of encapsulates how the gospel of Mark feels when you read it.  The gospel of Mark is sort of the highest pace, highest energy kind of gospel we have of the account of Jesus's life.  Mark is so excited to share with us what it looks like for the kingdom of God to unfold in time and space, and he's just riled up.  So he curates all these stories of what it looks like for the kingdom to unfold, and then he says, "And this happened and immediately this thing happened and then this thing over here happened and this happened."  And the natural question for us is alright, Mark, we get it.  And then what happened?   Pastor Larr

Good to see all of you today.  We're going to continue our series in the Gospel of Mark today.  Last week, Larry gave us a panoramic view of chapter one. Today, I'm going to give us a snapshot of a particular element in chapter two.  Before we look at this text, I'm going to ask you to join your hearts together with me in prayer.  Father, thanks so much for your provision, your care, your grace in our lives.  Lord, we want to thank you for the salvation that you provided for us in the Lord Jesus.  Thank you for the grace and the guidance you give us every day.  Lord, I thank you for your Church; when she's filled with your Spirit, she is the hope of the world.  I thank you so much for South Fellowship, the ministry that this church has in this community, in this city, and around the world.  Lord, I thank you for every person that's here today, and I thank you that I have the privilege to worship here and now to share from your Scripture.  So Lord, as we look into your word, we ask now that by your grace and y

 Years ago, I rekindled a childhood love for storytelling, and got into screenwriting.  I wrote a number of different things, from short films, web series, sitcom pilots, and most recently, a feature film script.  In fact, my friend Michael and I wrote a sitcom pilot that made it into the top 10% of an international screenwriting competition.  Pretty wild, huh?  One lesson I learned was to start the scene as late as possible, and to get out of the scene as soon as possible.  A great example of this comes from one of the greatest underdog stories of all time: "Tommy Boy."  Tommy’s family is gathered for a huge wedding celebration, because Tommy’s father, Tom Callahan, got married that day to a beautiful younger woman.  While at the reception party, Tommy’s dad collapsed.  Tommy ran over to him, and we see the camera tighten on Tommy’s face.  The next shot widens to reveal Tommy and many others in a cemetery, burying his father.   A bad screenwriter does what’s called exposition---they add a bunch of filler mat

Let's bow together.  Father, thanks for everything you provide for us, day by day, week by week, month by month, and year by year.  Lord, as you know, the way we count time we're entering into a new year and new decade, so we pray for your wisdom, your grace, your guidance.  Lord, I thank you for every person who's here today.  Lord, wherever we're at, I pray that you might minister to us in a special way.  Now, Lord, give us ears to hear your word, minds that are attentive, and hearts that are receptive to you and your Spirit.  We ask all of this in the great name of Jesus.  Amen. Given that it’s a new year and a new decade, there are a number of people and pundits who are trying to predict what the future will bring. It doesn’t matter whether it involves politics, or the stock market, or the Broncos, lots of people are making predictions about what’s going to happen in 2020 and beyond. But it’s always a dangerous business to try and predict the future, because it almost never turns out the way people thoug
