Paul is in a deep discussion with the people of Corinth.

Posted on by

“Paul is in a deep discussion with the people of Corinth. There is trouble and Paul is far away from them and the only way he can reasonably communicate with the people in the Church is by letter – the one we have just begun.

It is not going to surprise you that the Corinthians have been without strong leadership and they have allowed their old lives – lives before Christ – to have sway again. They have returned to the ways of the world where individualism has wrecked the community they once shared with each other…” — Listen here, or download the MP3!

“I truly understand that God shows no partiality.”

“Peter began, ‘I truly understand that God shows no partiality.’ The reading from the Acts of the Apostles is the culmination of the story between ST. Peter and Cornelius. Do you recall it? Peter was in a town a few miles away from the Gentile Centurion Cornelius. Both men had a dream that ended up bringing Peter to the house of the Roman.” — Listen here, or download the MP3!

Warm Hands – Warm Hearts THANK YOU!!!

Posted on by

A HUGE THANK YOU to everyone who participated in Bodybuilding’s Warm Hands-Warm Hearts hat/glove/blanket drive.

St. Mark’s collected a WHOPPING 115 pairs of gloves/mittens, as well as 37 blankets, 9 coats, 65 hats and 25 hat/scarf/glove combos.

We divided the proceeds between the Austin Street Shelter and Captain Hope’s Kids, which will provide gloves and hats to other homeless agencies as needed.

As always, the generosity of this church is overwhelming, and is such a blessing to those in our community who have so little. The Bodybuilding Committee is so grateful to all your support to this, as well as all the other efforts of this past year.

Stir Up Your Might And Come To Save Us.

“The fourth Sunday of Advent is the perfect setting for our Psalm this morning. The Psalm is a prayer for a congregation that cries out for a new beginning. And is that not where we are today; crying out for a new beginning?” — Listen here, or download the MP3!
