Mark 4:24,25 - “Consider carefully what you hear,” he continued. “With the measure you use, it will be measured to you—and even more. Whoever has will be given more; whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them.”
馬 可 福 音 4:24,25: 耶稣又说：“你们要留心所听到的。你们用什么量器来衡量，也会同样地被衡量，而且还将加添给你们； 因为凡是有的，还要赐给他；凡是没有的，连他有的也将从他那里被拿走。” (page 1624)

Gas Station Hot Dog
Mark 4:24,25
I was driving to Atlanta on Thursday. I had worked a half-day at my j-o-b, and was in a hurry to make a 2 o’clock appointment in North NORTH Atlanta (Lawrenceville)
I really had not really eaten all day.
Finally I had to take a break and stop in Hogansville at the LOVES gas station
You know those hot dogs you see cooking on the rotisserie?
I used to laugh to myself and wonder, “does anyone really eat those?” “I wonder how long they have been spinning on that old grill?”
But I do trust LOVES gas stations. (as much as possible)
They even let you know how long they have been on the griller.
So, for what was probably the third or fourth time ever, I bought a hot dog.
I got back in the car, and the hot dog was practically gone by the time I hit the entrance ramp back onto I-185. I inhaled it!
A few minutes later I felt a tightness in my gut. An uncomfortable pressure, that seemed to be getting quickly worse.
“Oh, no! I am getting food poisoning. I am going to get sick. What will I do if I lose it right here while I’m driving?”
Everything turned out fine (long story short) but I was really panicked, and upset with myself for just putting something into my system without really taking time to consider the possible consequences of my actions.
Everywhere you go, there are sources trying to tell you what to believe about everything going on in our world today
These voices – these messages – want you to consume their words – their social media content – their opinions – without you taking time to analyze their validity.
Their truth or deception.
“Just buy into this propaganda – put it inside of your heart - you can think about it later.”
“Be careful what you hear…”
We are being shaped by what we let in. What we digest.
“Be careful what you hear…”
“Don’t let anyone talk you out of the dream God put in your heart.”
If faith comes by hearing – so does the opposite. Aberrant messages can create doubt - confusion – dis-belief.
There is an even more important type of belief, though
Creed – by Rich Mullins (about the Apostle’s Creed)
“And I believe What I believe is what makes me what I am
I did not make it, no it is making me
It is the very truth of God and not the invention of any man”
It matters (very much) what we believe is true
Those beliefs come from what we open our hearts to hear
John 1:12,13 - But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God. They are reborn—not with a physical birth resulting from human passion or plan, but a birth that comes from God.
It matters (very much) what we believe is true
Right now – just like 2,000 years ago – the world is in need of a rescue.
Going back a few thousand years before that, we remember a time when the rebellious children of Israel were dying from snake bite and how God instructed Moses to raise up a bronze serpent. Everyone who looked up at the serpent was healed.
John 3 tells us: Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up, that everyone who believes may have eternal life in Him.
• What are you trusting and believing in?
• Where are you looking up to for your answers to the needs in your life right now?
The scripture from John 3 goes on to say: For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him.
“God so loved the world” – the whole world
“Repent and believe the good news!”
YOU are still part of God’s eternal plan.
No matter where you are this morning - you haven’t missed the boat.
Your opportunity is right here before you.
No matter what someone else told you. (or what you’ve told yourself)
“Be careful what you hear…”
2 Peter 3:9 - The Lord isn’t really being slow about his promise, as some people think. No, he is being patient for your sake. He does not want anyone to be destroyed, but wants everyone to repent.
“he (GOD) does not wish for any (no one) to perish but for all to come to repentance.”
It matters (very much) what we believe – and it matters where we look for our help.
So much is going on right now. It can easily be a disturbing situation.
It is easy to be distressed. To lose sleep. To feel hopeless.
Heb 12 tells us we should be “keeping our eyes on Jesus” or “fixing our eyes on Jesus”
So much is going on right now. It can easily be a disturbing situation.
The Good News is, our faith is not complicated.
The path is clear and it is available to you and me.
Gal 3:26,27: “You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus, for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.”
“You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus”
In an uncertain world, you and I can live in certainty.
Eph 1:13 – “And you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation. When you believed, you were marked in Him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit…”
The Bible tells us that faith comes to us as we hear and receive God’s Word.
When we hear the truth from God’s Word, we have the choice as to how we receive the message.
Do we listen with our heart – or do we shut the door?
Rev 3:20 - “Look! I stand at the door and knock. If you hear my voice and open the door, I will come in, and we will share a meal together as friends.”
Into My Heart
Into my heart, into my heart,
Come into my heart, Lord Jesus;
Come in today, come in to stay,
Come into my heart, Lord Jesus.
It is a step of faith that makes all the difference – eternally
John 1:12,13 - But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God. They are reborn—not with a physical birth resulting from human passion or plan, but a birth that comes from God.
“It is all the same God”
The Truth is – you can’t kinda believe in Jesus
Jesus told us Who He was – and what He came to accomplish
“Who do you say that I Am?” “I Am the Way…”
In a time of uncertainty – your foundation of faith must remain certain
If I have learned anything over the past few weeks –
it is that this situation is ever-changing and each day presents new issues, even as we – thank God – also see some hopeful answers as well.
In a time of uncertainty – your foundation of faith must remain certain
“Be careful what you hear…”
1 John 5:13 - I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life.
Romans 8:6 - The mind controlled by the Spirit is Life and Peace
1 Cor 10:16: - Is the cup of blessing which we bless [at the Lord’s Supper] not a sharing in the blood of Christ? [Indeed it is.]
Is the bread which we break not a sharing in the body of Christ? [Indeed it is.]
