What Manner of Man is This? | Mark 4:35–41 Shaun Marksbury | Quacco Baptist Church Sunday Evening Service | 9 July, 2017 How we answer the question of Who Jesus is will change how we respond to the storms of life.   As our example this evening, we are going to look at the disciples before the might of the storm (vv. 35–38), and then the disciples before the might of the Lord (vv. 39–41).

5  Other seed fell on rocky ground, where it did not have much soil, and immediately it sprang up, since it had no depth of soil. 6  And when the sun rose, it was scorched, and since it had no root, it withered away. 16  And these are the ones sown on rocky ground: the ones who, when they hear the word, immediately receive it with joy. 17  And they have no root in themselves, but endure for a while; then, when tribulation or persecution arises on account of the word, immediately they fall away. Why do people excited about God and the Bible walk away without warning?  We’re continuing to study the parable of the sower, and today we’re considering the seed that fell on rocky ground.  A farmer may see soil, but the rocks lying just beneath the surface will block roots from reaching the water table.  As he broadcasts out the seed in that direction, those plants may seem to spring up faster.  Unfortunately, because the roots don’t go as deep...

Psalm 3  | Cornerstone Church of Savannah | Shaun Marksbury | 27 November, 2016 This morning, we're continuing this leg of our trek through the Book of Psalms, and this morning we're studying "Help on the Road of Trouble" from Psalm 3. We may never be a king on the run from a rebellious son, but we may be attacked or maligned or face great heartache. God gave us this psalm because we all face spiritual warfare, and we need to our source of help as our world comes under attack. Notice: I. The Requirement for the Lord’s Help II. The Reality of the Lord’s Help III. The Recognition of the Lord’s Help IV. The Request for the Lord’s Help http://cornerstonesavannah.org/ Video: Audio:

1            Give ear to my words, O LORD;             consider my groaning. 2            Give attention to the sound of my cry,             my King and my God,             for to you do I pray. 3            O Lord, in the morning you hear my voice;             in the morning I prepare a sacrifice for you and watch. The emotion of this psalm makes it a clear lament.  Throughout, we read David’s heartache, mainly brought on by the enemies of God.  All with heavy hearts would resonate with the pain here, and these three verses illustrate the godly man’s prayer times amid cries and groaning.  ...
