Mary Magdeline: Living Faith
The development of Mary’s faith……and yours
Starting her faith
Seven demons Mk 16:9
Luke 18 – she was demon possessed and in a dark place
Jesus took them from her
We all start somewhere
Have gratitude and thankfulness for Jesus meeting you in dark places
EVERYONE can be saved; no one is too far from Jesus’ reach
Building her faith
Following him and ministered to him Mk 15:40-41
How are you building your faith
Bible study, prayer, relationship with God, worship, fellowship, following day in the day out ALL the time in everything we do.
Other ways we can do this today – whatever you do for “them” you do for Jesus. Deny self, pickup your cross, follow Him
Involve your kids/ family
Testing of her faith
Jn 19:25 Standing by the cross of Jesus
Your faith WILL be tested as well in different ways
Your faith will crumble if you skip building your faith
Proving of her faith
Jn 20: 1-2 Went to the tomb.
She still pursued Jesus and went to where he was – we have to do the same. She didn’t know he had risen yet she still believed she needed to be where he was.
Do you still go to Jesus when tested? Like when you don’t get that answer you wanted to prayer for example?
Do you go to him for comfort or seek out your friends?
Does your prayer or study life increase or decrease during times of testing?
Phil 4:7
Validation of her faith
Jn 20:11 He appeared first t Mary Mk 16:9
Your day is coming, how are you preparing? Your day for Jesus to ay “welcome” is going to require walking with Jesus everyday.
What will you do? Mary’s story starts and ends with Jesus coming TO HER. She stayed with him in the middle of that time. She built her faith during that time. The “in between” matters.
