Jesus arrives in Bethsaida to find some friend's of a blind man begging Him to touch their friend so he could be healed. Jesus takes the man by the hand and leads him outside the village. Once outside the village Jesus heals him. This miracle seems to occurs in two stages, but why? Why outside the village? Well, spiritual growth also happens in stages, and most of the time God wants to remove us from the place that we are at in our life as well. We to are spiritually blinded by sin, in need of healing. We need the special attention of Jesus to be healed. When Jesus heals us of our spiritual blindness, it may take awhile to see clearly. By coming to Jesus through obedience to the gospel, by continuing to walk with Him we will see more clearly day by day.

Sermon "Beware of Leaven" Mark 8:14-21 by Michael Reed August 21,2011a.m service (Click to Listen)
Jesus is warning his disciples to beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, Sadducees and the Herodians. They did not understand at first and thought he was talking about bread, but they finally understood that He was talking about the teachings (Doctrine) of the Pharisees, Sadducess and Herodians. Leaven or Yeast is often depicted as sin in the bible and no doubt becoming involved with the doctrines of these people would have been sinful.

Sermon "The Savior's Sigh" Mark 8:11-13 by Michael Reed August 14,2011a.m (Click to Listen)
The Savior's Sigh is about the Lord's reaction to the behavior of those who test Him. Have you ever considered the Lord's reaction to your behavior? When you refuse to believe in Him? When you do not follow him as you should? Would Jesus sigh deeply at us today? When we refuse to obey his gospel? When our conduct is not much different than those of the world? When our love is no different that that displayed by sinners? When the kingdom of God is not our priority in life? When tribulation or persecution causes us to stumble? When anxiety or materialism makes us unfruitful? When discouragement leads us to abandon prayer? When human traditions displace keeping the commands of God? When denominationalism defeats His prayer for unity? When the Love of the world replaces love for His Father?
How will Jesus react to our response to Him? Will it be great joy or a deep sigh in His spirit?
How will Jesus react to our response to Him? Will it be great joy or a deep sigh in His spirit?
