Bro Jesse Howell 9-8-2024

Lord, it's good to be in church here this evening.

And I was old, thank you for my pastor and

this opportunity. The example me is, let's follow in some

footsteps here tonight.

Be all right, let's fall the footsteps. Appreciate the Lord

so very much.

I appreciate the spirit of the Lord that we had

fell in this service to Mighty good God. I give

you praise, I give you honor, or get help to

you here for just a little while here to see it.

And Friday Friday, I ate over at.

My in laws there, and I got home and I

sat down on my couch and I had done my.

Reading, my my my reading plan for that day. And

I grabbed my Bible and I just started flipping through reading.

Some and I stumbled over to mark chapter number three,

you can you can turn over.

There, and the Lord began to deal with me, and

I grabbed at a little post it note.

I began to write it down. I didn't know if

i'd preach it at nurse at the nursing.

Home next week or when it when when it would be,

So I wrote me a little, a little note to

to just make my mind remember.

And so I went to sleep that night, slept real

good and woke up Saturday morning at a decent time.

I feel like the Lord woke me up at.

A decent time Saturday morning with more scripture that goes

along with what he had given me Friday night. And

then that day I heard from Pastor and told me

to be on standby beyond backup.

Didn't you enjoyed that? Enjoy that preaching? This morning always

always a timely time to massive good. Appreciate my Pastor.

So we're gonna try to be a help to you.

Hear the seed that for just a little while, we'll

see we get here and see if the Lord will

help us. Mark chapter number three, reading the first six verses.

Please stand for the reading of the word. And he

entered again into the synagogue. There was a man there

which had a withered him, And they watched him whether

he would heal.

Him on Sabbath day, that they might accuse him. And

he saith unto the man which had the withered hand.

Stand forth, and he saith under them, is it lawful

to do good on the Sabbath days?

Or to do evil? To save life or to kill?

But they held their peace, And when he had.

Looked round about upon them with anger, being grieved for

the hardness of their heart. Who saith unto the man

stretched forth by him? And he stretched it out in

his hand, and his hand was restored whole as the other.

And the Pharisees went forth and straightway took counsel with

the Herodians against him.

How they might destroy him.

Would you lift your hand here tonight, ask God to

help us and annoy us.

God, we thank you so much for your goodness and

your mercy. We thank you for your grace and kindness.

God.

He asked, you have taken poe from the fire more

than put it in our heart.

God, I believe that you give me a burning here

from this service tonight.

God, we asked that you would heal ward every sick body. God,

that you would give us strength, Lord, to deliver the word. God,

open our understanding, Lord, open our heart and our mind, Lord,

to deliver what you would have us to deliver, nothing more,

nothing less than what you desire. We will be sure

to give you the honor. We'll be sure to give

you the praise. And we pray this in Jesus' name.

Amen and Amen. All right, you could be seated here you.

Feel like it.

Jesus was no stranger to go into what we call

in modern day church, right, He was no stranger to

going to the temple.

He was no stranger to go into the synagogue.

For you gonna read it yer Jesus's early childhood, at

twelve years old, he was in the temple, and if

you read that, it says and every year at the Passover,

his parents would take him to the temple to go

to church. And I'm sure at other times they would

be in a synagogue somewhere for them.

For Jesus was raised up in the synagogues. And you

and many times.

Throughout the scripture, even once the rioters have started pinning

the life and the life of Jesus, we can find

in scripture where Jesus healed, where he talked, where he preached,

and where he even rebuked in the synagogue. He was

no stranger to the synagogue. He believed in going to church.

He believed that every believer should go to church. Jesus

was also no stranger to what we know today as

open outreach, open air outreach, or or what we call

sometime going into the highways and the hedges. For many

times in God's divine library. We can find Jesus out

by the seaside. We can find Jesus on a hillside teaching,

doing miracles, or even even we can find the time

where he ministered to a broken man in a graveyard.

So Jesus so so. Jesus was sure to teach us

by example that we should always have both ministries in

our lives.

We should not focus on one and not the other.

We should not, we should not do We should not

we should not substitute one for the other.

Jesus was sure to teach us.

To go to the church and to go outside the walls,

and to to to minister to those that needed help,

to minister to those that needed needed healing. Jesus preached doctrine,

he preached heaven, he preached hell, and he preached.

Healing for mind. So in body, his ministry was not locksided.

As Pastor reminds us often, Jesus is the example that

we should follow closely spiritually and physically. And when I

mean spiritually and physically, I mean physically. He showed us

to go to church physically, he showed us how to

go into the highways of the Hendrians and to compel

him to come in.

And to and to reach the laws.

Spiritually, he taught us how to pray spiritually. He taught

us how to mind the will of the Father spiritually.

He taught us how we should conduct ourselves.

In our day to day life.

So Jesus is our example both spiritually and he is

our example physically. Artech says that he entered again into

the synagogue. This is only the third chapter of Mark's writing.

This is the third chapter of mark sixteen chapter account

of the life of Jesus, and he writes he entered

again into the synagogue. Jesus was no stranger to the synagogue.

Mark said again, he entered into the synagogue. Earlier in

Mark's writing, you can find directly after calling the first

four disciples.

Two sets of brothers. You have Simon and his brother Andrew.

You had Change and his brother John.

These were the first four disciples that Jesus called. And

and right after calling the disciples the four disciples, Mark

wrote down that they went to Comparnium and straightway on

the sanity. He entered into the synagogue, and the Bible

says that he began to teach. Jesus had no problem

observing the sanity Jesus had no problem with keeping the

Sabbath holy. That was not that was not a problem

that he had. The Bible says that that day in

the synagogue that there was a man with an unclean spirit,

and they and they began to and the man with

the unclean spirit, and to cause a scene. You ever

seen someone calls a scene in the house of God.

I don't believe that's.

The will of God. Jesus didn't think it was.

Because she rebuke the man, the unclean spirit came out

of him. And the Bible says that all those that

were around that day, they were amazed. But sadly enough,

such is not the case of our texts here tonight.

The first time we read.

In Mark's Bible in Mars chapter it Marks writing, the

people were amazed when Jesus enters the saying that synagogue

and it does a miracle. The second time, whenever we

read about it in the third chapter, something wasn't right

in the church house that day. Something wasn't right that

Sabbath morning when Jesus began to.

Teach, and we began, and when he began to.

Preach, Jesus had come to worship as his custom was.

Jesus had come to preach as his custom was. Jesus

had come to touch that, had come to touch all

those that were in attendance, as his custom was. But

something was off, something was wrong amongst the people this day.

Mark tells us that Jesus looked around about them, overround.

About on them.

With anger and being grieved for the hardness of their heart.

Of some scholars believe when you read that there in

the third verse, before Jesus.

Heals the man, he says to the man, stand for them.

So he's preaching, and he calls this man out of

the crowd, and the Pharisees are already waiting for an

opportunity to accuse him. So he calls this man out

of the crowd to say, look at this man's state,

look at this. And he gave them a chance to

change their mind. He said, stand for him. Let everyone

see the state that you're in. Let everyone see where

you're really at and what kind of help you really need.

But this did not change their mind, for they were

too dead. Said on having a problem with the miracle work.

There were some people that came to church that morning

looking for trouble. You remember that past that message pastor preach,

they weren't like you.

All here this morning or tonight.

Rather, today, I believe that what we have here in

this house is a house full of motified believers that

are willing to let Jesus do a miracle in our

mits tonight. They are willing to let them Lord of

the Sabbath, come down on it, on what we observe

as the first day of the week, and do a

miracle in his house. I think we'd be okay.

And Jesus coming into our midst and touching hearts.

Touching life, and having his divine will and having his

perfect player in our lives here in tonight.

I don't really think that we have.

Anyone that would stand back and be disapproved, pointed and

be disapproving of healings and blessings from a Messiah taking

place in his house. His house was to be a

house of prayer, but they had made it a den

of thieves.

They had made it a place to where they could

try to to try to to.

Fault find that Jesus. Jesus had come to do ministry,

but they had come to find fault. Right. These people

had the Sabbath day so holy that the Lord of

the Sabbath, couldn't heal with spoken word. There was no

work to be done. There was no surgery to take

place on the Sabbath day. There was no operation that

Jesus would be doing to this man. For Jesus would

simply be speaking the word, just as he did, just

as he did in the first chapter. Whenever he cleansed

a man from the unleaned spirit. It was spoken word.

All Jesus had to do was speak the word. Right,

Jesus had spoke the word, and the ground that they

stood upon was formed the same spoken word. Would heal

this man of his diseases, of his disability, But for

the hardness of their heart. They would rather this man

miss the chance of a lifetime for the hardness of

their heart.

They would rather this man live and.

The rest of his life withered for the hardness of

their heart. They would rather this man live a disabled

lives for the hardness of their heart.

They would rather see that man walk out once again

with his hand.

Unable to work, unable to make an honest living, because

of the.

Hardness of their heart. They would read of this man

continue to suffer in his mind.

You tell me someone with a disability like that, don't

suffer in their minds.

Well, they can't do what others do, but they can't

watch the way other people fatching. They're truble in their mind.

And they were content to let this man live his

life the rest of the time because of the hardness

of their heart, whether they let Jesus speak.

The word and this man be healed.

Hatred and envy jealousy had blinded them to the needs

of others.

Hatred and jealousy and angry had blinded them to the

fact that this man was battling my burden. This morning

is tonight?

Is this?

No matter the thing that Jesus do to come, No

matter Jesus what.

Jesus knew the false accusations that they would that they

would spare. Undoubtedly, he knew that they that they would

bring accusation, that they would try to trip him up.

He knew they were there to cause controversy.

He knew they were there to try to find fault.

But regardless of the fact, regardless of the fact of

what the Pharisees would do it, regardless of that, Jesus said,

stretch forth the hand. Jesus knew the reprecassion Jesus knew

he was had far across. But regardless of the facts,

he told the man stretched forth.

His hand for as the passion is amazing. Not getting

talk to himself, he healed the man.

Not get a talk to what I would think? He

went ahead and touched this man.

The Bible says it was made whole as the other.

I don't think it looked like new skin. I don't

think you could ever tell it was nothing wrong with it.

You didn't look like baby skin. It had the same

hand that his other. His head, it looked just like

his other. When it was made whole, asked the other one.

There was no sign when Jesus got done with there

was no sign of just a better Where Jesus turned

their situation around it, it was my whole has the

other just like the other one was.

But let me tell you something.

The very moment the healing took place, Verse six picks up,

Jesus just did a miracle. In verse number five one

verse lead, the devil steps in. The devil thinks he

found what he was looking for. Jesus knew what he

was looking for. Jesus knew what they were after because.

He was already angry.

He had already looked at the heartness of their heart,

and it was a hemut inside that the hardness of

their heart would allow of their brother to be in

such a shape. The Bible says in verse six, the

Pharisees went forth straightway, took counsel with the Herodians against him,

how they might destroy him.

Jesus knew their playing all along.

He knew their scheming. That's the reason he was angry.

But nevertheless, for the benefit of the man. In our text,

he healed the man. In the Book of Acts, chapter

number ten, of verse number thirty eighth, the writer says this,

how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy ghost

and with power, who went about doing good and healing

all that were oppressed of the devil.

For God was with him. Isaiah said he was despised

and rejecting.

Well, as Isaiah said, he is despised and rejecting, Yet

he went about doing good. Now few records Jesus saying this.

The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air

have ness, But the son.

Of Man hath not where to lay his head.

But still he had compassion, and he healed the sick.

Still he walked, though he didn't have nowhere.

To lay his head. Still, he walked into the center

God and gave himself to a man to bear heating

sean Roth. He was in the world, and the world

was made by him.

The world knew him not he came into his own,

and his own received him. Not yet he laid his

life down.

Yet he died on the rugged cross for me and you,

and work all the words lookingly.

Then cut.

He was scarsed, he was mocked, he was spun up home.

They beat a crowd of sword into his head. He

was torn a cruise. He was being big pass recognition.

They kneeled him two and three where he hung.

And died for you and me.

Yet it alone compassion which no man can fathom or return,

he said, Father, forgive him, not looking to what man

timed into him, despise it a shame, But for the

joy that was set before him.

He endured the crops for me.

Answer you, he's never given account to what the world up.

I told you. He's our example. He's never gave account

to the thought. Then they beat in his head. For

the joy that was said before you, Jesus showed.

Us how to stay true to our purpose. Jesus showed

us how to stay on target despite what happens around us,

despite what others saying. I've heard all my life when

I'm not gonna twelve on this, but I've heard this

in study. I've heard all my life people say I

was heard in church. Well, friend, Jesus was in church.

He was grieved in his spirit in church. He was

angry in church. But did he let it stop me?

Didn't let us stop me from healing to man. Didn't

let stop me from touching that man right there? He did. No,

he didn't, and he never did, as he never will.

I preached to you today at ten thirty eight.

Despite all of that, at the end of the day,

Loue route, he.

Went about do it good.

He went about my giving thought to the scheming of

the religious elites, not pandering to the desires of the Pharisees.

Nor caring what the headline.

For tomorrow's edition of the Rumor Milgazella, not caring what

the skeptics say, not caring what the what the one

teller trying to flip.

Him up and trying to trip him up. He went

about doing good.

Jesus was angry and grieved at the way that they

were acting, but he never wants let it affect his

ministry or pull on the focus of his mission.

He never wants ever gave up on the hoose and

he came to heal. He never gave.

Up on the ones that he came to minister too

because someone.

Else hurt him or.

Said something that offended him. People in their actions, situations,

or even our day to day lives shouldn't never never

dictate our wave with God. What happens in our life

should never offend what happens in our spiritual life. We've

heard pastor preaching God stopped my polar situation.

Don't change the way he thinks about us.

The what people do, don't change the way he thinks

about us.

When He's got good for his people, my.

Dear brothers and my sisters, Jesus left us no excuse.

Jesus left us no excuse for despite what they would say,

despite what he knew us to come, he went about

doing good.

Luke was after Luke was after all.

That, and he looked at what the Pharisees had done,

and he looked at the scheming that they would do,

and he looked at all the persecutions, and he said,

Jesus went about doing good. I implore you here today,

go about doing good. Give no thought to what others think.

Give no thought to what.

Others are doing or saying, or the scheming of the

PLOTY focus on your mission, Focus on what needs to

be focused on, Focus on what matters when we cross chords.

Hit a time.

Let's stand here tonight. I wonder if we've got anyone

that would say, I want to stay focused, not caring

what others would do, not caring what others would say.

You feel like praying, Find you a place to pray

here tonight. Believe God will lead us right here, and

we'll renew our focus, renew our desire.

Oh God, I thank you for your goodness.

Oh oh, despite what others do, despite what others say.

The Bible says, as a lamp let to his flaughter

before his shears his dumb so he opened, not his mouth.

He was reviled. Yeah, he reviled. Not again. Hey, h.

K rids a matter of about the two people he.
