  • All, For The One (2006)

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Oct 23, 2022
     | 1,125 views

    Their effectiveness as Jesus' disciples would not happen by default. They would always have to work at it and pray about it.

    ALL, FOR THE ONE Text: Mark 9:38-50 “One of the highlights of the college freshman biology class was the monthly feeding of a caged rattlesnake kept in the laboratory. One time, the entire class gathered around the cage and, in complete silence, watched as the feeding took place. ...read more

  • Inclusion Is What We Need, Not Power Hungry People

    Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Aug 11, 2021
     | 1,765 views

    Jesus rebuked His disciples because they wanted to keep the power of healing for themselves. This is happening in church today even though Jesus said it is wrong!

    I think that it is sad that when I read this narrative, it made me think about the control the church has held over people for almost 2000 years. The church used only one verse, thus out of context, to control people. Catholics could not own a Bible until 1964 CE. The idea that a person has to ...read more

  • No Stumbling Blocks

    Contributed by Vic Folkert on Sep 16, 2021
     | 4,801 views

    Why do people disconnect from Christ and the church? We must not cause "these little ones" to stumble.

    NO STUMBLING BLOCKS—Mark 9:38-50 This morning, we face a troubling reality: Many Americans are moving away from Christ and the church. Some are high-profile influencers, who might say they are “done” with church, or “deconstructing” their faith. Others are ordinary people—maybe people we know—who ...read more

  • Don't Offend My Children, Or Else

    Contributed by Mark A. Barber on Sep 21, 2021
     | 1,589 views

    Even as Jesus suffered offense at the hands of others, every Christian shall likewise suffer. How we respond to this offense is important.

    Don't Offend MY Children, or Else! Mark 9:38-50 It is a bit odd that this week’s gospel text from the lectionary begins with John’s response to what Jesus had just said. It is poor practice to start in the middle of a paragraph. Before we can analyze this text, we need to ask: “What was John ...read more

  • Who Is The Greatest Person In This Church?

    Contributed by Alvan Lewis on Mar 7, 2022
     | 1,963 views

    A close look at what Jesus considered greatness.

    Who is the Greatest? Who is the greatest person in this church? That should be an easy question to answer if we use our culture’s criteria of greatness. In our society greatness is decided with three measuring rods: • Money • Beauty and • Brains All we would need to do is submit our financial ...read more

    Causing the little Ones to Stumble

    Cut it Out! Mark 9:38-50 Do you remember when you were a kid and would tell other kids on the playground, “My daddy is bigger than your daddy”? A Bronx Tale is a film about a young man named “C”, who is growing up in the 60's, as he is guided by two father figures; one was his own father and ...read more

  • Stumbing Along

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jul 19, 2023
     | 1,409 views

    Unexamined assumptions can cause us to stumble over things we don't even notice.

    It’s a little disconcerting, sitting down to write a sermon on a passage that you’ve already preached on twice, to find that neither time did you say what you’d planned to say. Of course, only preachers have that problem... Maybe only 60-something preachers have that problem. But more generally, ...read more

  • Cut It Out

    based on 1 rating

    We are always trying to blame our sin on something else - on someone else, on society, on circumstances. But Jesus says that what makes us sin is part of ourselves.

    I stopped watching TV news three or four years ago. But you have to know what's going on, somehow, so there are a few sources I've come to trust. But guess what? They're just as depressing as TV news. Because what is actually happening is worse than what you might imagine if you stayed ...read more

  • Keep Your Salt Levels High Series

    Contributed by Fr Mund Cargill Thompson on Sep 28, 2024
    based on 4 ratings
     | 1,714 views

    Why Wikipedia beats printed encylcopedias. How doing the hardest thing (what's that?) can help lift our spirits when we are low. And how that fits not just with Jesus's saying about saltiness but with the rest of today's bible readings. A sermon from September 2015

    Have a taste of this [hand out teaspoon of salt to someone in the front row] “If salt loses it’s saltiness with what will you season it?” I have two things that I would like to draw out of today’s texts about ways in which we can lose our saltiness - one personal and one public. One personal - ...read more

  • Jesus Teaches His Disciples (Part 2) Series

    Contributed by David Owens on Sep 4, 2023
     | 1,699 views

    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.

    Introduction: A. In last week’s sermon, we started a section in the Gospel of Mark where Jesus was privately teaching His disciples some very important lessons on discipleship. 1. 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

  • Twenty-Sixth Sunday In Ordinary Time, Year B: "When In Doubt, Cut It Out.”

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Aug 15, 2024
     | 790 views

    It is not hyperbole to say that it is better to enter heaven maimed [one-armed, one-footed, and one-eyed] than to enter hell whole. That is literally true.

    “When Jesus exaggerated” is a book title, and there are countless articles on how Jesus uses exaggeration and hyperbole for effect, like we hear this Sunday; to literally cut off your hand or foot or gouge-out your eyes because then you won’t sin with them.1 However, “it is not hyperbole to say ...read more
