Why Jesus Went into the Water
Sermon Theme: Mark 1 Why do people go into the water? To cool off on a hot day, maybe to exercise. If it’s January 1, you might be part of the Polar Bear Club. To save someone from drowning.

Sermon Text: Mark 9:14-27 Join us at St. Paul’s on Father’s Day as we look into the Bible story of a father who will do whatever it takes to help his demon-possessed son. That reminds us of our heavenly Father who did whatever it took to help our souls get released from Satan’s clutches. Jesus healed the demon-possessed boy by the power of his Word.

A Time to Pause
You can also watch on our Vimeo page. Sermon Text: Mark 7:31-37 This weekend, America pauses to remember what happened 20 years ago. We will remember what happened on 9/11 with a special prayer and hymn at St. Paul’s. 20 years have passed, but the memories are fresh in the minds of those old enough to remember.
