    The Divine Visitation

    Contributed by Paul Kallan on Dec 5, 2002
    based on 37 ratings

    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

    In John the Baptist we have an example of humble living, speaking truth, and always pointing beyond ourselves to Christ.

    “POINTING BEYOND OURSELVES” Mark 1:1-8 Isaiah 40:1-11 By: Rev. Kenneth E. Sauer, Pastor of Parkview United Methodist Church, Newport News, VA Approximately three-hundred years before John the Baptist came on the scene... ...God had promised through the prophet Isaiah that a person would come and ...read more

    how John prepared the people for Christ and how we also do

    December 8, 2002 Mark 1:1-8 The beginning of the gospel about Jesus Christ, the Son of God. It is written in Isaiah the prophet: “I will send my messenger ahead of you, who will prepare your way”- “a voice of one calling in the desert, ‘Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for ...read more

    A Good Place To Start

    Contributed by Eloy Gonzalez on Dec 7, 2002
    based on 94 ratings
     | 14,590 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

    The second week of advent looks towards John the Baptist as the Messenger of Christ’s coming peace.

    Cresson Baptist Church Sunday, December 8, 2002 Scripture: Mark 1:1-8 Messenger of Peace Introduction: Advent is the season of preparation for the coming of Christ. We remember when Christ was born in this time of the year. It is more symbolic than literal. When I was considering these 4 ...read more

    What it is to Prepare for the Incarnation and return of Christ

    Last week, we took a look at that which we are preparing for. I mentioned the obvious – that we look back as we prepare once again to celebrate the birth of the messiah, of Emmanuel, God with us – come to save us from our sin and death. We look all around and we see the world preparing to ...read more

    The topic, prelude, context, and focus of Mark’s story about Jesus.

    (Note: This sermon was introduced with scenes 1 and 2 of "Traveling Light," a full length play based on the Gospel of Mark from Lillenas).

    You are familiar with the story of Jonah.

    You are familiar with the story of Jonah. God said, ìArise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry out against it, for their wickedness has come before Me.î So Jonah went and cried against Nineveh that the great city must repent or in 40 days Godís destruction would fall against it. In response ...read more

    Immediately Series

    based on 39 ratings
     | 7,551 views

    This was done as a dramatic monologue, as if I were Mark; and costumed according to Mark 14:51-52! It makes use of one of Mark’s favorite words, "immediately", and argues that Jesus expects immediate response to His call.

    What’s happening? What’s going on here? I came as quickly as I could. If you linger, you will miss Him. He waits for no one. He acts immediately. He is the most urgent person I’ve ever known. He just does not wait for anything. He acts immediately. So, again, what’s happening here? What ...read more

    The difference between a good meal and a great meal depends on your hunger, and so it is with your appetite for God.

    The difference between a good meal and a great meal depends on how hungry you are when you sit down to eat. The difference between a good church and a great church depends also on the level of your hunger. So how hungry are you? What are your expectations? The Gospel of Mark opens with ...read more

    Out of chaos comes the words, "You are my beloved Son, with you I am well pleased."

    Baptism of Our Lord B 12 January 2003 Mark 1:4-11, Genesis 1:1-5 Rev. Roger Haugen The Genesis reading is one of my favourites. You get a sense of this wonderful, foreboding mass of moving water.

    There’s nothing wrong with being #2 as long Jesus is #1.

    So, What’s Wrong With Avis? To say John the Baptist was unique would be an understatement. He had taken a Nazirite vow. Now a Nazirite vow contained 3 main conditions: refrain from wine and other intoxicants, not allow a razor to touch one’s hair, and not go near a dead body -–not ...read more

    “And no doubt you know that God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power. Then Jesus went around doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the Devil, for God was with Him” Acts 10:38.

    Theme: The anointed One brings healing and peace Text: Is. 42:1-9; Acts 10:34-38; Mark 1:4-11 Good News can only be appreciated in times of difficulties and troubles.
