Post-Christian Culture (Joe Rogan, Douglas Murray, and G. K. Chesterton)

In a recent episode of "The Joe Rogan Experience," Joe Rogan and Douglas Murray discussed humanity's need for religion. When people (or societies) reject Christianity, they have to replace it with something else. We see the results all around us, from the new atheism to the cult of wokeness. This reminds me of something G. K. Chesterton said more than a century ago in "Orthodoxy."

#29 Mark 15:1-20 "Jesus Our Substitute"

Palm Sunday Announcements 4.10.17

Good Friday - Join us on Friday, April 15th as we remember and meditate on Jesus' crucifixion on Good Friday for our sins. Rainier Valley Church will be hosting a Good Friday worship service from 6:30pm-7:30pm.

Resurrection Sunday - Mark your calendars as we celebrate victory in Jesus this coming Easter Sunday on Sunday, April 17th at Rainier Valley Church. Please invite family and friends to celebrate with us at 10am at Rainier Valley Church. We will be doing baptisms and a kids Easter egg hunt after the service.

Baptisms - It's time to celebrate baptisms! We believe that baptism is for those who have chosen to put their faith in the saving work of Jesus Christ—a public declaration of an inward decision to follow Christ. We believe that baptizing by immersion in water is a faithful representation of Christ's death, burial, and resurrection. If you’re interested in being baptized, please talk with Steve Pratt or Ken Sabalza.

Worldview Apologetics Conference - Pastor Ken Sabalza is organizing a group from RVC to go to the upcoming Worldview Apologetics Conference on April 29-30th at Westminster Chapel with speakers like J.Warner Wallace and Dr. Phil Fernandes. For more information, please follow up with Pastor Ken Sabalza.

Guest Speaker James Rayment - We're excited to welcome James Rayment from the Al-Ma'idah Initiative on Sunday, May 1st. James will be sharing a message on how Christians can engage family, friends, neighbors and coworkers from other religions.

Gospel of Mark #29 - "Jesus Our Substitute"

Sunday, April 10 (Mark 15:1-20)

Discussion/Study Questions

Our King’s Silence (15:1-5) - If Jesus had been primarily interested in avoiding execution, what defense might he have offered before Pilate? Why did Jesus remain silent? How does Jesus' silence ultimately save us? What areas in our life can you practice "passive obedience" like Jesus by not justifying ourselves and not lashing out at others?

Our King’s Substitution (15:6-14) - "Substitutionary Atonement" sounds complicated. How would you explain it to a children's Sunday school class and what would you call it? How does the story of Jesus taking the place of the criminal Barabbas show the powerful truth of substitutionary atonement?

Our King’s Suffering (15:15-20) - What ironies does the Gospel of Mark highlight between the way the soldiers mock Jesus and who he actually is? Jesus was (1) psychologically ridiculed, (2) physically beaten, (3) spiritually abandoned by God, and (4) mortally executed. How do these torments compare? How can we prepare our hearts for this coming Holy Week, Good Friday and Resurrection Sunday? What is God teaching you specifically this Easter season? How can we be praying and serving one another this coming week?

YouTube Age-Restricts Images of Burn Victims

This morning, I posted a short video about a family in Uganda that had been sprayed with acid for converting to Christianity. YouTube age-restricted the video because it contained an image of a girl with burned skin. Why do Susan Wojcicki and the YouTube Trust and Safety Team believe that children should never see the faces of burn victims?

Ex-Muslim Christian Family Burned with Acid for Leaving Islam

On February 17, 2022, a Muslim family in Uganda converted to Christianity. Three weeks later, the rest of their family gathered together, accused them of apostasy, beat them, and burned them with acid, while shouting "Allahu Akbar." The worst injuries were inflicted on a 13-year-old girl. Please pray for this ex-Muslim Christian family.

Week #27 "Jesus Betrayed"
Mark 14:26-72
Sunday, April 3rdOpening Questions
What was the best and worst part of your last week and how can we be praying for you?
What comes to mind when you hear the word failure? How was failure understand and handled in your family growing up?
How do you tend to respond to failures in your life and in the life others? Why is it so important to figure out what to do with failure?

1. Failure To Listen Carefully - Prediction (14:26-31) - Peter responds to Jesus prediction by radically overestimating his own strengths. What ways have you overestimated your strengths? Instead of listening carefully, Peter simply overrides Jesus words with his own thoughts and ideas. How can we learn from Peter's failure to listen carefully? Pastor Kyle talked about how we either learn by light (information) or heat (pain). Which of these areas do you need to work on to cultivate a humble and teachable spirit.

• Having an Open Mind
• Checking Your Pride
• Asking for Feedback from Others
• Being Respectful to Others
• Ingesting and Implementing what you are taught? 

1. Failure to Stay Awake - Struggle (14:32-42) - Jesus asks his disciples to stay awake and stay watchful with him in the garden three times and they fail and fall asleep three times.  Why is it important to learn from the disciples failure and cultivate the practice of staying watchful spiritually? What's at stake when we "fall asleep" spiritually? Pastor Kyle gave 3 ways to stay awake. Which of these ways do you need to practice over the next few weeks?

• Get up and move around to feel awake (Practicing Christian service to others)
• Eat a healthy snack to boost energy (Being in the Word to renew our minds)
• Start a conversation to wake up your mind (Being in Christian community to stay active, honest, etc.)

1. Failure to be Courageous - Betrayal (14:43-52) - All the disciples, who promised to be with Jesus no matter what, abandon him and ran away in the Garden. Mark even includes the story of running away naked rather than being identified as one of Jesus' disciples. The disciples talked a good game but when there was something at stake, they ran away like cowards. How do we learn from the disciples failure to be courageous? We see in the story of the disciples that they went from cowardly to courage and we can to. Which of these areas do you need to grow in to be more courageous and what opportunities do you have to practice courage in your life right now? 

• Remember the Resurrection - Death isn’t the end, what can man do?
• Be filled with the Spirit - Same power that rose Christ is at work in us!
• Pray for Boldness - It’s not a matter of knowledge but dependence, we need more Holy Ghost in our lives.
• Consider Pushback a Joy - The Disciples began to consider it a joy to suffer for the sake of the name.

1. Failure to be Loyal - Denial (14:53-72) - Peter denies Jesus 3 times. How is it true that failure doesn’t exclude you, but actual qualifies you in Christianity?  Why is an awareness of personal failure not an option, but a necessity to come to Jesus as Savior? How can we learn from Peter's life that failure is an EVENT not YOUR identity? How can we be careful to not internalize our failures but to learn from them? How can we pray for one another to apply and practice these important truths in our lives this week?

What's Happening To Evangelicalism? (Michael Reeves)

Bart Ehrman v Glen Scrivener: Did Christianity give us our belief in equ...

Glen Scrivener's book 'The Air We Breathe: How We All Came to Believe in Freedom, Kindness, Progress & Equality' makes the case that our belief in modern human rights & values are a direct product of the Christian story that shaped the West. New Testament critic Bart Ehrman, whose own book 'The Triumph of Christianity' tells the story of how the faith swept the world, responds to Glen's view that our embrace of equality, compassion and sexual consent are uniquely Christian.
