Midweek Teaching - Jesus Still Cares (June 14, 2015)
In this powerful message from Ebenezer Baptist Church, Pastor Milton Bunting brings a timely and deeply personal word from Mark 1:29–31. Drawing from the account of Simon Peter's mother-in-law lying ill with a fever, the pastor reminds us that Jesus has not changed — He still sees us, still meets us where we are, and still cares about every area of our lives.
The sermon opens with an honest look at the many kinds of fevers we face today: fevers of sickness, heartbreak, financial struggle, personal problems, inner turmoil, and even spiritual coldness within the church itself. Just as that fever in the ancient world could be fatal if left unaddressed, the burdens we carry can overwhelm us if we fail to bring them to the right source.
Key Points from the Message:
1. We must inform Jesus about our problems. The people in the text didn't post it on social media or tell the neighbors — they told Jesus. We are called to shut the door, quiet the noise, and take our problems directly to Him.
2. Jesus always comes to our place of need. He left the synagogue and went to where the need was. No matter how low you've gone or how bad things look, Jesus will come where you are.
3. We ought to serve Jesus out of gratitude for what He has done. Once Simon's mother-in-law was healed, she rose and served. When Jesus steps into your situation and lifts you up, the right response is a life of grateful service.
No matter what room you're in, no matter what fever you're carrying, this message declares with confidence: Jesus still cares — and He will come.
