    We’re sometimes slow to trust God even though He has always come through in the past.

    A LESSON IN TRUSTING “Be careful”, Jesus warned them. “Watch out for the yeast of the Pharisees and that of Herod”, (Mark 8: 15). Here we have one of those recurring occasions that take place in the ministry of Jesus - the feeding of a large crowd of people. The people came from near and ...read more

    Incredibly dumb spiritual decisions that some people make.

    THE 2003 DARWIN AWARDS (Mark 8:13-21) Introduction: 1. Have you ever known someone who just did not get it? Please do not answer that out loud. a.

    Are your eyes open? Nothing opens eyes like a good question. Jesus questions have a way of both exposing and healing blindness. Watch what he does in this passage...

    Mark 8:11-26 Do You See Anything? This year you are studying: Questions Jesus Asked from Mark’s gospel. Did you know that in Mark 8 in the NKJV, there are at least 16 questions asked by Jesus.

    The willful unbelief of the Pharisees disturbed the Lord to the depths of His spirit.

    THOUGHTS ABOUT THE PASSAGE: People refuse to believe that which they don’t want to believe, in spite of evidence. When explorers first went to Australia they found a mammal which laid eggs; spent some time in water, some on land; had a broad, flat tail, webbed feet, and a bill similar to a duck. ...read more

    The disciples had allowed themselves to become so distracted that they missed the message Jesus was trying to give to them. Sometimes we allow the same thing to happen in our lives.

    According to the president of the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety 1.2 million crashes a year are caused by driver distractions. Of course we all know that with the way cell phones have taken over in our society that cell phones are definitely a distraction for many drivers. But to my surprise ...read more

    Will It Take A Miracle? Series

     | 5,086 views

    Today we are going to see Jesus Christ do something miraculous, and we will see how our perspective determines our response, or how our response gives away our perspective, which ever you prefer.

    WILL IT TAKE A MIRACLE? Mark 8:1-21 INTRO: Last October, the miraculous occurred. The Anaheim Angels beat the San Francisco Giants 4 games to 3 to win the World Series. It was miraculous because the Angels have been playing major league baseball for 42 years, and had never even been to the World ...read more

    How sin limits the power of God in our lives

    To Handcuff the Power of God Mark 8:14-21 (Prayer) A recurring theme of the bible is that only those who would dare to trust God with their whole hearts will see the power of God manifested in their circumstances.

    False Faith: Faith Amnesia Series

    Contributed by Peter Loughman on Oct 14, 2007
    based on 46 ratings
     | 13,310 views

    Faith is about trusting in a person. Faith is not about stuff. It is not about things happening or things not. It is not about things coming together. It is not about a happy feeling or a secure moment or even knowledge - it is about a person.

    Richard Dawkins, the famous Oxford zoologist said, “Faith is the great copout, the great excuse to evade the need to think and evaluate evidence. Faith is belief in spite of, even perhaps because of, a lack of evidence.” Does Jesus prove Richard Dawkins right in our passage today? Jesus is asked ...read more

    Jesus asks five "perspective questions" that can assist us in overcoming spiritual inertia.

    OVERCOMING THE “SPIRITUAL BLAHS” Mark 8:14-21 Mk 8:14 The disciples had forgotten to bring bread, except for one loaf they had with them in the boat. Mk 8:15 “Be careful,” Jesus warned them. “Watch out for the yeast of the Pharisees and that of Herod.” Mk 8:16 They discussed this with one ...read more

    This sermon looks at the nature of the human heart and considers some of the characteristics of a heart that is hardened

    Introduction: Let me ask you a question: What about your heart? Is it right with God? Notice I did not ask you about your life. If your heart is right your life will be right, but sometimes our lives may show all the external displays of faith, and yet our hearts be very far from God. In the words ...read more

    God’s miraculous signs never force our faith.

    February 17, 2009 Mark 8: 11-21 Whenever St. Mark uses the phrase “this generation,” the words have a specific meaning. In the first part of this passage, Jesus says that “this generation” is always looking for a sign, but He would not give them one. The use of that phrase goes all the way back ...read more

     | 3,137 views

    God always provides what we need, and then some left over – a surplus. But only when we live by faith.

    God’s Mentality About Money Mark 8:13-21 The loaves and fishes event teaches us a lesson on God’s provision. It is clear that the disciples never learned the lesson about God’s provision. Why? Jesus had to remind them on two different occasions. After the feeding of the FOUR thousand (and that ...read more
