 Other side - the Righteousness of Jesus Christ. 
 
 Isaiah 61:10 - he has covered me with the robe of righteousness

Job 42:1-6 Sermon Notes 
 
 
Who is Job? A Blameless and upright man who feared God and turned away from evil. A Believer, a Church Goer. A wealthy wonderful father.

Three friends; Eliphaz, Bildad and Zophar. 
 
 
 
 
What do the Three Friends Represent? Darkened Counsel 
 
 
 Job 42:3 -  ‘Who is this that hides counsel without knowledge?’ 
 
 Job is quoting the LORD God. 
 
 Job 38:1-5 - 2 “Who is this that darkens counsel by words without knowledge? 
 
 
 
 
A Major theme of Job - Comfort/Counsel for those who are suffering. 
 
 
Comfort and Counsel is either Enlightened or Darkened. 
 Enlightened by Salvation or Darkened by Satan 
 
 
Darkened Counsel - Three Friends 
 
 Eliphaz Experience Job 4:8 
 Bildad Tradition Job 8:8 
 Zophar Legal Job 11:6 
 
 
 
Why are these three types of counsel darkened? Because they were wrongly applied. 
 
 
Enlightened Counsel - Elihu the son of Barachel (may God bless) 
 
 
 Elihu Jesus Job 33:24 
 
 
 Mark 10:45 - The Son of man came not to be served but to serve and give his life as a Ransom for many. 
 
 
 Elihu is pointing Job to who the LORD God is and what the Lord God does, bring salvation. 
 
 
 And then the LORD God begins to speak to Job out of the whirlwind. That brings us back to Job’s response in our text this morning. 
 
 
 Job 42:5-6 - 5 I had heard of you by the hearing of the ear, but now my eye sees you; 6 therefore I despise myself, and repent in dust and ashes.”

I Corinthians 15:12-23 Easter Sermon Notes 
 
I. The Context - Life without the Bodily Resurrection leads to 
 life by The Secular Worldview 
 
 Secular Worldview - viewing the World and living life without reference to God. 
 
 The Secular Worldview comes out in three ways: 
 1. They are Stuck in their Sin - 
 vs.17. you are still in your sins 
 
 2. Logically they think Death leads to eternal Damnation - 
vs.18 those also who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. 
 
 3. Emotionally they are Pitiful - 
 vs.19 are of all people most to be pitied 
 
II. The Concept - First Fruits 
 
 I Corinthians 15:20 - 20 But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. 
 
First Fruits - aparche - refers to a first sample of an agricultural crop that indicates the nature and quality of the rest of the crop; therefore, Christ’s resurrection body gives a foretaste of what those of believers will be like. (ESV Study Bible note, p.2214) 
 
 
III. The Contrast - Adam or Christ 
 
 I Corinthians 15:21-23 - 21 For as by a man came death, by a man has come also the resurrection of the dead. 22 For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive. 23 But each in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, then at his coming those who belong to Christ 
 
 The Fall (Disobedience) of Adam brought death - Genesis 3, spiritual, relational and then physical and eternal death 
 
 The Obedience of Christ brings life - Resurrection Life 
 
 Salvation by Representation - Either I am represented by Adam or I am represented by Christ. 
 
 22 For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive. 
 
 In - En - a preposition, a marker of a close personal association, in union with, joined closely to. John 10:38 - that the Father is in me and I am in the Father. 
 
 How is someone “in” Christ? By our response to the Gospel - Repent & Believe. 
 
 The Gospel is the Good News of the Cross and Resurrection of Jesus Christ by which we become the Righteousness of God.

Intro - “No One is Old in Heaven,” Heaven is for Real; Todd Burpo, p.120 
 
 
The Biblical Principle of 
 Sowing and Reaping for the Resurrection. 
 
Context - I Cor 15:35 - With what kind of body do they come?” 
 
Concept - Biblical Principle of Sowing and Reaping 
 
 I Corinthians 15:36-38 - What you sow does not come to life unless it dies. 37 And what you sow is not the body that is to be, but a bare kernel, perhaps of wheat or of some other grain. 38 But God gives it a body as he has chosen, and to each kind of seed its own body. 
 
 John 12:24 - Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit. 
 
 Parable - Sower and four types of soil (Luke 8:4-15) 
 
 
Our Natural Body is a bare kernel, a seed. 
 
 I Corinthians 15:37 - And what you sow is not the body that is to be, but a bare kernel, perhaps of wheat or of some other grain. 
 
Our Resurrection Body will be an Imperishable, Glorious, Powerful and Spiritual Body. 
 
 I Corinthians 15:42-44 - 42 So is it with the resurrection of the dead. What is sown is perishable; what is raised is imperishable. 43 It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness; it is raised in power. 44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. 
 
 The seeds of a Live Oak and the Live Oaks at Trinity 
 
 
 
 The Resurrection Body of Jesus that we read about in the Gospels is the First Fruits of the Imperishable, Glorious, Powerful, Spiritual, Resurrection Bodies we will be given! 
 
 
When will this occur? At the Second Coming of Christ 
 
 I Corinthians 15:51-57 — 54 When the perishable puts on the imperishable, and the mortal puts on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying that is written: 
 “Death is swallowed up in victory.”

 I Corinthians 15:3-5 - 3 For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, 4 that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures. 5 and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. 
 
 
 Galatians 1:18-19 - Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit (historeo) Cephas and remained with him fifteen days. 19 But I saw none of the other apostles except James the Lord's brother. 
 
 historeo - visit, investigative inquiry 
 
 
 The Gospel is the Good News of the Cross and Resurrection of Jesus Christ by which we become the Righteousness of God. 
 
 II Corinthians 5:21 - For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. 
 
 
 
Appearances of the Risen Christ 
 
 I Corinthians 15:5-8 - and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. 6 Then he appeared to more than five hundred brothers at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have fallen asleep. 7 Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles. 8 Last of all, as to one untimely born, he appeared also to me 
 
 More than 500 brothers at one time - 6 minutes on the witness stand would be more than 50 hours of firsthand eyewitness testimony in a court of law. (The Resurrection Factor, Josh McDowell, p.72) 
 
 
Why is the Resurrection so important? 
 
1. The Resurrection is the Lynchpin of Christianity 
 
 Lynchpin - one that serves to hold together parts or elements that exist or function as a unit. Ex. Door Hinge. 
 
 
2. The Burial of the Dead - 2019 Book of Common Prayer

 Luke 1:50-55 -50 And his mercy is for those who fear him from generation to generation. 51 He has shown strength with his arm; he has scattered the proud in the thoughts of their hearts; 52 he has brought down the mighty from their thrones and exalted those of humble estate; 53 he has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich he has sent away empty. 54 He has helped his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy, 55 as he spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to his offspring forever.”

Mark 9:30-50 
 
Who is the Greatest? 
Believers who are last of all and servant of all. 
 
Then Jesus went on to name three groups of Believers that are very difficult to put first/serve. 
 
1. Baby Believers - young and immature in the faith 
 
Mark 9:36-37 And he took a child and put him in the midst of them, and taking him in his arms, he said to them 37 "Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me and whoever receives me, receives not me but him who sent me." 
 
taking him in his arms - enfolding, wrapping his arms around in a warm and loving embrace. 
 
2. Unconnected Believers - not participating in a local church 
 
Mark 9:38 - John said to him, "Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, and we tried to stop him, because he was not following us." 
 
The question is Who is the Greatest? but the issue is Who is in control? 
 
3. Sinful Believers - those who engage in sin 
 
Mark 9:47-48 It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than with two eyes to be thrown into hell, 48 where their worm does not die and the fire is not quenched. 
 
Who can do that? Even try to do that? Only those who have Received. 
 
The Inverted Life - The Son of Man 
 
Mark 9:31-32 "The Son of Man is going to be delivered into the hands of men, and they will kill him. And when he is killed, after three days he will rise." 32 But they did not understand the saying, and were afraid to ask him. 
 
Daniel 7:13-14 "I saw in the night visions, and behold, with the clouds of heaven there came one like a son of man, and he came to the Ancient of Days and was presented before him. 14 And to him was given dominion and glory and a kingdom, that all peoples, nations, and languages should serve him; his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom one that shall not be destroyed. 
 
The Son of Man is one who is described with divine nature and attributes, he is given dominion and kingdoms. Jesus is claiming to be that Son of Man. 
 
But also a common usage of the term Son of Man - someone who is disposed, wretched, ostracized by society, a tragic figure, utterly disdained, marginalized and cast aside.

Mark 6:45-52 Sermon Notes 
Intro - Courage 
 Jesus said to his disciples, 
 “Take heart/courage, it is I, do not be afraid.” 
 
Context - Jesus Boat 
 
 Mark 6:45 - Immediately he made his disciples get into the boat and go before him to the other side, to Bethsaida, while he dismissed the crowd. 
 
What does Jesus do in the midst of our difficult circumstances? 
 
1. Jesus Sees Us - Mark 6:48 - And he saw that they were making headway painfully, for the wind was against them. 
 
 
2. Jesus Comes to Us - Mark 6:49 - And about the fourth watch of the night he came to them, walking on the sea. 
 
 “Its always darkest before the dawn.” 
 
 
3. Jesus Reveals His Presence to Us - Mark 6:48-50 - He meant to pass by them, 49 but when they saw him walking on the sea they thought it was a ghost, and cried out, 50 for they all saw him and were terrified. 
 
 
 Exodus 33:18-23 - 18 Moses said, “Please show me your glory.” … 22 and while my glory passes by I will put you in a cleft of the rock, and I will cover you with my hand until I have passed by. 23 Then I will take away my hand, and you shall see my back, but my face shall not be seen.” 
 
 
4. Jesus Speaks to Us - Mark 6:50 - But immediately he spoke to them and said, “Take heart; it is I. Do not be afraid.” 
 
 
 Take heart/courage - tharseo - to have confidence and firmness of purpose in the face of danger or testing. 
 
 Why? Because of the change in circumstances? 
 No, Because of the presence of Jesus. 
 
 Take heart; it is I - ego eimi - I AM 
 
 Exodus 3:13 - Then Moses said to God, “If I come to the people of Israel and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they ask me, ‘What is his name?’ what shall I say to them?” 14 God said to Moses, “I am who I am.” 
 
 
Jesus Changes the Circumstances - Mark 6:51 - And he got into the boat with them, and the wind ceased. 
 
 
 John 16:33 -  I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.”

 Proclaim - 12 So they went out and proclaimed that people should repent. 
 
 Mark 1:14-15 - 14 Now after John was arrested, Jesus came into Galilee, proclaiming the gospel of God, 15 and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.” 
 
 
 Cast Out - 13 And they cast out many demons 
 
 Mark 3:27 - no one can enter a strong man's house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man. Then indeed he may plunder his house. 
 
 Anoint - and anointed with oil many who were sick and healed them. 
 
 
 
 Sign of the Healing Ministry - Prayer with the Laying on of hands and anointing with Oil 
 
 Luke 10:33-34 - 33 But a Samaritan, as he journeyed, came to where he was, and when he saw him, he had compassion. 34 He went to him and bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he set him on his own animal and brought him to an inn and took care of him. 
 
 James 5:14-15 — 14 Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. 15 And the prayer of faith will save the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up. 
 
 "Healing was central to the ministry of Jesus, our incarnate Lord. Healing is central to the ministry of the Church, the Body of Christ. Spoken prayer, anointing with oil, and the laying on of hands are the principal outward means employed by the Church for its ministry to those whose health is in any way impaired.” (2019 BCP, p.222)

How does our faith grow? Three Ways: 
 
Desperation - Two desperate situations 
 
 Synagogue Ruler - 
 
 Mark 5:22-23 — Then came one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name, and seeing him, he fell at his feet 23 and implored him earnestly, saying, “My little daughter is at the point of death. Come and lay your hands on her, so that she may be made well and live. 
 
 The Woman - 
 
 Mark 5:25-28 - And there was a woman who had had a discharge of blood for twelve years, 26 and who had suffered much under many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was no better but rather grew worse. She had heard the reports about Jesus and came up behind him in the crowd and touched his garment. 28 For she said, “If I touch even his garments, I will be made well. 
 
 Desperation - a state of despair which typically results in extreme or rash behavior, like turning to Jesus. 
 
 
Delays - By Us or By Jesus. 
 
 By Us - who had had a discharge of blood for twelve years, 
 
 By Jesus - immediately turned about in the crowd and said, “Who touched my garments?” 
 
 One of the redemptions of delays by Jesus is to grow my faith. 
 Jesus delays heighten my attention, re-focus my attention upon Jesus. 
 
 Hebrews 12:1-2 - let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,  looking to Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of the faith, 
 
 
Deliverance - Healing and Resurrection. 
 
 The Woman - And immediately the flow of blood dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of her disease. 
 
 The Synagogue Ruler - Taking her by the hand he said to her, “Talitha cumi,” which means, “Little girl, I say to you, arise.” And immediately the girl got up. 
 
 “Honey, it’s time to get up.” And she did! Jesus took her by the hand and brought her right out of death!

Intro - The Smallest … 
 
The Mustard Seed - A Small Seed grows into a Great Tree. 
 
 Mark 4:31-32 - 31 It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when sown on the ground, is the smallest of all the seeds on earth, 32 yet when it is sown it grows up and becomes larger than all the garden plants and puts out large branches, so that the birds of the air can make nests in its shade.” 
 
 
 The Birds of the air - The Gentiles of the World 
 
 
 Ezekiel 17:22-23 - 22 Thus says the Lord God: “I myself will take a sprig from the lofty top of the cedar and will set it out. I will break off from the topmost of its young twigs a tender one, and I myself will plant it on a high and lofty mountain. 23 On the mountain height of Israel will I plant it, that it may bear branches and produce fruit and become a noble cedar. And under it will dwell every kind of bird; in the shade of its branches birds of every sort will nest. 
 
 
 The Axis Mundi - The World Tree - to connect heaven and earth 
 
 
What is The Seed? The Gospel Mark is St Peter’s “Gospel." 
 
 I Peter 1:23-25 - 23 since you have been born again, not of perishable seed but of imperishable, through the living and abiding word of God; 24 for “All flesh is like grass and all its glory like the flower of grass. The grass withers, and the flower falls, 25 but the word of the Lord remains forever. And this word is the good news (The Gospel) that was preached to you. 
 
 What is the Gospel? 
The Good News of the Cross and Resurrection of Jesus Christ. 
 
The Cross of Jesus Christ? A Tree. 
 
 I Peter 2:24 - He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed. 
 
 The Tree is the Cross of Jesus Christ where He is making a Substitutionary Sacrifice. His Cross became The Axis Mundi. 
 
 
 
How was the Mustard Seed of the Gospel sown in my/your life? 
 
 
How am I sowing the Mustard Seed of the Gospel into the lives of others? 
 
 Words not only deeds. “The living and abiding word of God.”
