Sermon notes

He has done all things well

Jesus invites you to come Mark 7:31-37

Then he [Jesus] returned from the region of Tyre and went through Sidon to the Sea of Galilee, in the region of the Decapolis. And they brought to him a man who was deaf and had a speech impediment, and they begged him to lay his hand on him. And taking him aside from the crowd privately, he put his fingers into his ears, and after spitting touched his tongue. And looking up to heaven, he sighed and said to him, “Ephphatha,” that is, “Be opened.” And his ears were opened, his tongue was released, and he spoke plainly. And Jesus charged them to tell no one. But the more he charged them, the more zealously they proclaimed it. And they were astonished beyond measure, saying, “He has done all things well. He even makes the deaf hear and the mute speak.” (Mar 7:31-37)

“Where am I in this story?”

“What am I discovering about Jesus?

“What do I need from Jesus?

“If Jesus met me now – what would he say to me today?  


What God does is not actually about me!

       Which is just as well!      

Jesus takes great care to be attentive to the person


How would you feel if you knew Jesus truly saw you. Knew you?


What would he notice?

What do you want Jesus to do for you?


If you had a friend who was to bring you to Jesus - why woudl he bring you?


What stops you bringing your need to Jesus?


When has Jesus done something for you?

What did you do in response?

Who have you told?

Jesus invites you to come - what is stopping you?


If you came - what would you want Him to do?


Jesus knows you

He knows what you really need

And He wants to act.
