    This message is designed to challenge our followship of Jesus Christ.

    This message topic "Will you follow Jesus"? is an easy question to answer, but a challenge to abide. It is easy saying yes to Jesus, but the challenge comes when we must let those things go that hinder our Christian growth. In our text, we see four men who answered the call of Christ and followed ...read more

    Book sermon on Gospel of Mark emphasizes the person of Jesus.

    The Beginning of the Gospel Mark 1:1-3 INTRO.: Today’s message begins a series taken from the Gospel of Mark.

    Highlights beginning of Jesus’ public ministry; baptism, anointing, temptation

    Jesus Ministry Begins Mark 1:9-13 INTRO.: The beginning of the public life of Jesus is very briefly recorded by Mark, who is characterized by an economy of words. It was time of religious awakening. Mark quickly tells us of the ministry of John the Baptist as predicted by Malachi and described ...read more

    It is better to be cleansed from the roots of evil than to be lead from the different forms of prisons that they build around us.

    On the second Sunday of Advent, Mark 1.1-8 calls our attention to the person of John the Baptist. John is a figure of confrontation. This confrontation is interior in nature. It has to do with our inner self. It is the greatest challenge of cleansing ourselves innerly. Tom was a quite boy. His ...read more

    Mark 1:1-8 What Would John The Baptist Say To You

    This is a time of the year for cliches and spiritual sappy-talk. John the Baptist offers a fresh perspective.

    Mark 1:1-8 WHAT WOULD JOHN THE BAPTIST SAY TO YOU? Sometimes, when you hear the same thing all the time, it starts to become less and less meaningful. For example, right now, at this time in the year, the newspaper, the TV, and the radio are all saying the same thing: “There is a special sale ...read more

    A Good Place To Start

     | 14,755 views

    Second Sunday in Advent: The evangelist Mark starts with John the Baptist preaching in the wilderness. He seems to leave out Christmas. But perhaps, for us, it is a ’good place to start.’

    The Gospel Lesson today is one of the most interesting Advent / Christmas lessons in all of scripture. I say that because - did you notice that something seems to be missing? There is no mention of Christmas in this Gospel. Mark mentions neither the miraculous conception nor the birth of Jesus. And ...read more
