    Mark 9:1-10 "Jesus’s Transfiguration"

    Pastor Lowell Nelson teaches about Mark 9:1-10 "Jesus’s Transfiguration" on 2/8/2026 for our Sunday service. Mark 9:1-10 1 And He said to them, "Assuredly, I say to you that there are some standing here who will not taste death till they see the kingdom of God present with power." 2 Now after six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John, and led them up on a high mountain apart by themselves; and He was transfigured before them. 3 His clothes became shining, exceedingly white, like snow, such as no launderer on earth can whiten them. 4 And Elijah appeared to them with Moses, and they were talking with Jesus. 5 Then Peter answered and said to Jesus, "Rabbi, it is good for us to be here; and let us make three tabernacles: one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah" — 6 because he did not know what to say, for they were greatly afraid. 7 And a cloud came and overshadowed them; and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, "This is My beloved Son. Hear Him!" 8 Suddenly, when they had looked around, they saw no one anymore, but only Jesus with themselves. 9 Now as they came down from the mountain, He commanded them that they should tell no one the things they had seen, till the Son of Man had risen from the dead. 10 So they kept this word to themselves, questioning what the rising from the dead meant. Remember Jesus is moving from mainly ministering to the multitudes to now preparing His disciples for His ministry of the cross. Mark 8 ended with denial of self and picking up your cross. Mark 9 begins to show the reward for denying self and picking up your cross…Glory!!! Jesus states clearly the cross before His death. He knows this is His path for the Fathers glory. Joins us as we look at the theological revelation the transfiguration teaches.

    Psalms 46-48 "The Theology of God’s Kingship"

    Pastor Lowell Nelson teaches on Psalms 46-48 "The Theology of God’s Kingship" on 2/4/2026 for our Wednesday service. Psalm 46 - 48 God Is Our Fortress 1 God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble. 2 Therefore we will not fear, Even though the earth be removed, And though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; 3 Though its waters roar and be troubled, Though the mountains shake with its swelling. Selah 4 There is a river whose streams shall make glad the city of God, The holy place of the tabernacle of the Most High. 5 God is in the midst of her, she shall not be moved; God shall help her, just at the break of dawn. 6 The nations raged, the kingdoms were moved; He uttered His voice, the earth melted. 7 The LORD of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah 8 Come, behold the works of the LORD, Who has made desolations in the earth. 9 He makes wars cease to the end of the earth; He breaks the bow and cuts the spear in two; He burns the chariot in the fire. 10 Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth! 11 The LORD of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah Psalms 47 God Is King over All the Earth 1 Oh, clap your hands, all you peoples! Shout to God with the voice of triumph! 2 For the LORD Most High is awesome; He is a great King over all the earth. 3 He will subdue the peoples under us, And the nations under our feet. 4 He will choose our inheritance for us, The excellence of Jacob whom He loves. Selah 5 God has gone up with a shout, The LORD with the sound of a trumpet. 6 Sing praises to God, sing praises! Sing praises to our King, sing praises! 7 For God is the King of all the earth; Sing praises with understanding. 8 God reigns over the nations; God sits on His holy throne. 9 The princes of the people have gathered together, The people of the God of Abraham. For the shields of the earth belong to God; He is greatly exalted. Psalms 48 Zion, the City of Our God 1 Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised In the city of our God, In His holy mountain. 2 Beautiful in elevation, The joy of the whole earth, Is Mount Zion on the sides of the north, The city of the great King. 3 God is in her palaces; He is known as her refuge. 4 For behold, the kings assembled, They passed by together. 5 They saw it, and so they marveled; They were troubled, they hastened away. 6 Fear took hold of them there, And pain, as of a woman in birth pangs, 7 As when You break the ships of Tarshish With an east wind. 8 As we have heard, So we have seen In the city of the LORD of hosts, In the city of our God: God will establish it forever. Selah 9 We have thought, O God, on Your lovingkindness, In the midst of Your temple. 10 According to Your name, O God, So is Your praise to the ends of the earth; Your right hand is full of righteousness. 11 Let Mount Zion rejoice, Let the daughters of Judah be glad, Because of Your judgments. 12 Walk about Zion, And go all around her. Count her towers; 13 Mark well her bulwarks; Consider her palaces; That you may tell it to the generation following. 14 For this is God, Our God forever and ever; He will be our guide Even to death. Psalms 46–48: The Theology of God’s Kingship Psalm 46 – God Ruling in Our Midst (Jerusalem) Verses 1–5: God rules over chaos in nature — His presence brings peace. Verses 6–10: God rules over chaos among nations — He brings peace. Verse 11: God brings peace over everything.

    Mark 8:34-37 "The summons, sacrifice and standard for service"

    Pastor Lowell Nelson teaches about Mark 8:34-37 "The summons, sacrifice and standard for service" on 2/1/2026 for our Sunday service. Mark 8:34-38 34 When He had called the people to Himself, with His disciples also, He said to them, "Whoever desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. 35 For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel's will save it. 36 For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? 37 Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? 38 For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him the Son of Man also will be ashamed when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels." NKJV Remember…. We are at the turning point of the Gospel. At this point in Jesus’s ministry, He moves away from Mainly ministering to the multitudes with miracles to start ministering to prepare His disciples. Jesus is now focusing on the Disciples, preparing them for the fulfillment of His ministry. His death on the cross and His resurrection. Jesus is sharing with the people and His disciples the cost of discipleship. Jesus has shared that His course is set in stone. It has been preset since the beginning of time and laying the foundations of the earth. Now these hearing and us must determine our course. We must count the cost of our course.

    Psalms 42-45 "Trusting God Through Spiritual Discouragement"

    Pastor Lowell Nelson teaches about Psalms 42-45 "Trusting God Through Spiritual Discouragement" on 1/28/2026 for our Wednesday service. Psalm 42 This Psalm explores the concept of Inner Exile. The pain of this inner struggle grows when an individual is not fellowshipping with other believers. It details the soul’s inner struggle because of present distress and the Power of Emotions. This Psalm highlights a tension in trusting emotions during trials: my emotions resist truth, while my spirit trusts one truth, and my emotions deceive with a false truth (vs. 6). Psalm 43 Psalm 43 is framed as a Prayer to remove the inner struggle described in Psalm 42, emphasizing the Power of Intellect. It teaches that in trials, one must resist the cry of emotions and turn instead to God’s truth and light. That alone will restore my joy and hope (vs. 3: Light and truth). Psalm 44 This is a Corporate Lament but also a remembrance of the Past Faithfulness of God. The text describes a wrestling of a great theological question: Does suffering always stem from disobedience? It focuses on remembering the past promises while struggling with the present crisis, leading to a core theme of Trusting in Future Faithfulness. The focus is on trusting in God’s past faithful acts, as God’s past saving acts remain the lens through which we look at present sufferings. The Psalm describes the present crisis honestly and asks the challenging question: I am faithful. Where Are You! Psalm 44 asks where is Our King? Psalm 45 answers that question. Psalm 45 Psalm 45 focuses on Trusting in Jesus Alone. It answers the question posed in Psalm 44: I have been faithful! Where are YOU! Psalm 45 answers this question not by explanation, but by revelation.

    Mark 8:27-32 "Who do you say that I AM?"

    Pastor Lowell Nelson teaches about Mark 8:27-32 "Who do you say that I AM?" on 1/25/2026 for our Sunday Morning service. Mark 8:27-3327 Now Jesus and His disciples went out to the towns of Caesarea Philippi; and on the road He asked His disciples, saying to them, "Who do men say that I am?" 28 So they answered, "John the Baptist; but some say, Elijah; and others, one of the prophets." 29 He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?"Peter answered and said to Him, "You are the Christ." 30 Then He strictly warned them that they should tell no one about Him. 31 And He began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again. 32 He spoke this word openly. Then Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him. 33 But when He had turned around and looked at His disciples, He rebuked Peter, saying, "Get behind Me, Satan! For you are not mindful of the things of God, but the things of men." The disciples have reached the point where Jesus is about to give them a new stage in their sight. IE Mark 8: 22-26. Jesus is giving His disciples their final exam. There is only one question on their final exam. It is an essay question.Jesus asks His disciples the single most important question in all of time and eternity. A person’s answer to this question determines their eternal destiny. At this point in Jesus’s ministry, he moves from Mainly ministering to the multitudes to focusing on the Disciples preparing them for the fulfillment of His ministry. His death on the cross and His resurrection.

    Psalms 40-41 "The Theology of Spiritual Victory Over Discouragement"

    Pastor Lowell Nelson teaches about Psalms 40-41 "The Theology of Spiritual Victory Over Discouragement" on 1/21/2026 for our Wednesday Evening service. Psalms 40–41 The Theology of Spiritual Victory Over Discouragement Conclusion of Book 1 of the Book of Psalms. Psalm 40: Remembering God’s past faithfulness. Why is Psalm 40 so important? Because of Psalm 41... Present trials. Psalm 40 - 41 My Help and My Deliverer 1 I WAITED patiently for the LORD; And He inclined to me, And heard my cry. 2 He also brought me up out of a horrible pit, Out of the miry clay, And set my feet upon a rock, And established my steps. 3 He has put a new song in my mouth - Praise to our God; Many will see it and fear, And will trust in the LORD. 4 Blessed is that man who makes the LORD his trust, And does not respect the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies. 5 Many, O LORD my God, are Your wonderful works Which You have done; And Your thoughts toward us Cannot be recounted to You in order; If I would declare and speak of them, They are more than can be numbered. 6 Sacrifice and offering You did not desire; My ears You have opened. Burnt offering and sin offering You did not require. 7 Then I said, "Behold, I come; In the scroll of the book it is written of me. 8 I delight to do Your will, O my God, And Your law is within my heart." 9 I have proclaimed the good news of righteousness In the great assembly; Indeed, I do not restrain my lips, O LORD, You Yourself know. 10 I have not hidden Your righteousness within my heart; I have declared Your faithfulness and Your salvation; I have not concealed Your lovingkindness and Your truth From the great assembly. 11 Do not withhold Your tender mercies from me, O LORD; Let Your lovingkindness and Your truth continually preserve me. 12 For innumerable evils have surrounded me; My iniquities have overtaken me, so that I am not able to look up; They are more than the hairs of my head; Therefore my heart fails me. 13 Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me; O LORD, make haste to help me! 14 Let them be ashamed and brought to mutual confusion Who seek to destroy my life; Let them be driven backward and brought to dishonor Who wish me evil. 15 Let them be confounded because of their shame, Who say to me, "Aha, aha!" 16 Let all those who seek You rejoice and be glad in You; Let such as love Your salvation say continually, "The LORD be magnified!" 17 But I am poor and needy; Yet the LORD thinks upon me. You are my help and my deliverer; Do not delay, O my God. Psalms 41 O Lord, Be Gracious to Me 1 Blessed is he who considers the poor; The LORD will deliver him in time of trouble. 2 The LORD will preserve him and keep him alive, And he will be blessed on the earth; You will not deliver him to the will of his enemies. 3 The LORD will strengthen him on his bed of illness; You will sustain him on his sickbed. 4 I said, "LORD, be merciful to me; Heal my soul, for I have sinned against You." 5 My enemies speak evil of me: "When will he die, and his name perish?" 6 And if he comes to see me, he speaks lies; His heart gathers iniquity to itself; When he goes out, he tells it. 7 All who hate me whisper together against me; Against me they devise my hurt. 8 "An evil disease," they say, "clings to him. And now that he lies down, he will rise up no more." 9 Even my own familiar friend in whom I trusted, Who ate my bread, Has lifted up his heel against me. 10 But You, O LORD, be merciful to me, and raise me up, That I may repay them. 11 By this I know that You are well pleased with me, Because my enemy does not triumph over me. 12 As for me, You uphold me in my integrity, And set me before Your face forever. 13 Blessed be the LORD God of Israel From everlasting to everlasting! Amen and Amen.
