    As Jesus continued to privately teach His disciples in Mark chapter 9, we see that He focused on teaching them about pride and prejudice. It was important for them and for us to learn about humility and tolerance.

The two lessons we explored last week had to do with prayer and the passion of Jesus. 2. In today’s sermon, we will ...read more
