I am planning to get married in the summer so for me that’s the main thing on my mind. It’s very exciting of course, but at the same time I do have a bad memory from a wedding in Japan. If I show you photos from the wedding, maybe you can work out what happened. You see there’s one thing wrong about me. Can you spot it? Something about the way I’m dressed that makes me

No matter how great a nation, if it becomes proud, oppressive, and abandons God’s ways, it will receive God’s judgment.

Now we begin a new section, in which Jesus authenticates his teachings and identity as God’s Son through his miraculous power. He has power over nature, demons, sickness, and death. For today, we will look at Jesus’ power over the nature, in Mark chapter 4. Let’s pray. Mark 4:35-36 We’ll read Mark 4:35-41. Starting with verses 35-36: On that day, when evening had come, he said to them, “Let us go across to the other side.” And leaving

Animals don’t make promises. But we as human beings make promises. We try to keep them. We promise like, “I promise not to tell anyone. I’ll keep it a secret.” “I promise I will never do it again.
