Jesus Changes Everything | Lord's Table Service

Main message: Jesus changes everything — he meets the needs of the broken (healing, freedom, sight, life) and calls believers to respond with compassion, testimony, and faithful living; the Lord's Supper is a reminder of his broken body and shed blood.

Key points:

• Mark 3 (withered hand): Jesus heals the broken and contrasts grace with those “burdened by the law”; Christians should give grace rather than judge.
• Mark 5 (Gadarene demoniac): Jesus frees the bound; the healed man is commissioned to go home and tell what the Lord has done.
• Mark 10 (Blind Bartimaeus): persistent, faith-filled crying out to Jesus leads to restored sight and following Christ.
• John 11 (Lazarus): Jesus shares in grief, cries with them, then conquers death — pointing to resurrection hope and reunion.
• Application: believers are to be Spirit-filled, show compassion, testify about their transformation, and stand fast in the liberty Christ gives.
• Communion teaching: 1 Corinthians 11 passage used to call for introspection before partaking and to remember Christ’s sacrifice — his broken body and shed blood.
