The Gospel Sermon Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Oct 11, 2024

Mark's Gospel has been believed to have been written to the Roman people. So, why would Mark begin by declaring that he was going to tell them the "Gospel of Jesus Christ"... what did the Romans need to hear, and what do we need to hear from Mark's Gospel?

In the book of Acts, we’re told the Apostle Paul preached at Troas, and he preached so long that a man went to sleep and fell out of the window. When the Pilgrims settled at Plymouth - their sermons lasted so long that the congregation apparently placed a large hourglass on the pulpit to remind ...read more

When talking about a vision from God, we have to understand that we can't take it at the same level as scripture. It's a testimony, a vision, something we test against the word of God and prayer.
