    Salt Of The Earth

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Sep 26, 2015
     | 4,754 views

    If we show Jesus’ love in everything we do, we can do much to reduce bitterness and bring peace to our world.

    Good morning boys and girls! How many of you have ever eaten something that didn’t taste very good? What did you do to make the food taste better? Did you put any salt on the food? Improving the taste of food is one of many uses for salt. Salt is used to keep dyes from washing out so our ...read more

    We must do battle against the attitude of personal status and group superiority.

    Measuring Up Mark 9:30-41 Rev. Brian Bill February 11-12, 2017 Almost every time we visit my parents my mom gives me some yellowed files or beat up toys that I had when I was growing up. Several years ago I came across some old report cards. I knew I didn’t have the best grades but I had ...read more

    Criticism Not Handled Properly Can Be An Evil Thing Indeed.

    The wrong type of criticism can lead to all sorts of problems. This we must be aware, so that we can handle those who would put us down; criticism to them being a weapon.

    This sermon was delivered to St Oswald’s, Maybole, Ayrshire, Scotland on the 30th September 2012; St Oswald’s is a Scottish Episcopal Church in the Dioceses of Glasgow and Dumfries. The readings for today are: Esther 7:1-6, 9-10; 9:20-22 Psalm 12 James 5:13-20 Mark ...read more

    Arguing? Series

    Each one of us can be that argumentative person; how should we handle them as Christians?

    Before reading our passage this morning in Mark 9, let’s note a few facts: First of all, why did Jesus leave heaven and come to earth?? Jesus came to earth to become a human being and die for the sin of people! And did Jesus remain dead? To reveal God’s power over life and death, Jesus rose from ...read more

    Discipleship And Distortion (September 20, 2012).

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Aug 14, 2020
     | 3,682 views

    In this passage of scripture, we can see three things. First, we can see where caution hinders compassion. Secondly, we can see where compassion builds community. Finally, we can see where members of the community must be accountable to God and each other.

    DISCIPLESHIP AND DISTORTION Text: Mark 9:38 – 50 There is the story of an army chaplain who once told his men that he did not believe in hell. Some of his men responded by saying that his services would no longer be needed. The one who tells this story (Warren W. Wiersbe) also says ...read more

    Inclusion Is What We Need, Not Power Hungry People

    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

    Who Is The Greatest Person In This Church?

    Contributed by Alvan Lewis on Mar 7, 2022
     | 1,969 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

    Be Supportive Of Other Churches Series

     | 3,211 views

    If we serve the Lord with the impure motive of personal gain, instead of with the intention of leading people to faith in Christ, then we can become self-focused, critical and judgmental of other believers and other churches.

    The apostle Paul once admonished the Philippians, “Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others” (Philippians 2:3-4). In ...read more

    No Stumbling Blocks

    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
     | 1,596 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

    Jesus Gives Us Hell

    Contributed by Joel Pankow on Sep 24, 2021
     | 1,999 views

    Jesus threatens hell over sins committed and threatens wrath in a call to repentance, telling us to chop off eye, hand, and feet. What hope do we have? Find out.

    9.26.21 Mark 9:38–50 38 John said to him, “Teacher, we saw someone driving out demons in your name. We tried to stop him, because he was not following us.” 39 But Jesus said, “Do not try to stop him, because no one who does a miracle in my ...read more

     | 1,482 views

    According to the artist "the Thinker" is sitting in mute amazement as he contemplates lost people in hell.

    Lizards scatter when they perceive a threat, and they will self-amputate their tail if a predator seizes it. It will leave its tail behind and run but with modified locomotor performance and mechanics. The lizard says to itself: 'It's better to lose my tail than to lose my ...read more

    ¿En qué está pensando el pensador? Según el artista, "el Pensador" está sentado en mudo asombro mientras contempla a la gente perdida en el infierno.

    Los lagartos se dispersan cuando perciben una amenaza y se auto-amputarán la cola si un depredador se la agarra. Dejará atrás la cola y correrá pero con locomotor y movimientos modificados. El lagarto se dice a sí mismo: "¡Es mejor perder la cola que perder la ...read more

    The disciples were focused on their status and not upon the love of God. What were the disciples missing, what should they have known?
