Recreate Church, Pastor Michael Shockley—Service, Sunday, March 17, 2024

The Chosen One. Today, Pastor Michael will tell us a story about a “Chosen One.” We seem to love stories about somebody special who shows up to save the day! The idea of the Chosen One has been around so long that it’s almost become a cliche, but there are historical roots.  God gave us paradise, and we messed it up by violating His one and only rule.  But God sent His Chosen One to fix what is broken in US.  The brokenness, bitterness, jealousy, anger, pride, and all the secrets that tear apart relationships take your peace and separate you from God. The point is that when we try to fix ourselves, we might get some things fixed for a while, but then something else gets broken. So, we do need a hero; we need a Chosen One. Good news: God sent one! The Chosen One has chosen YOU.  Will you choose HIM? (CSB Bible Notes) The scribes identified Messiah as David’s son (vv. 35-36), but David identified Messiah as his Lord. Therefore, Messiah was not just a descendant of David. He was David’s Lord. Verses can be found in Mark 12: 35 - 37.
