    Life is filled with quesions, some simple, some hard. Jesus Christ asked hard questions, three of which are recorded in the eighth chapter of Mark. They are: What do you see? What’s your opinion of Christ? What is worth losing your spiritual life?

    Hard Questions that Jesus Asked Mark 8:13-38 Life is filled with questions. Many require a simple yeas or no. But some questions are hard questions and require some soul searching to answer truthfully. Jesus Christ asked hard questions three of which are recorded in the eighth chapter of Mark. ...read more

    How Do I Take Up My Cross?

    Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Mar 28, 2009
    based on 14 ratings
     | 12,014 views

    This sermon looks at both what it means, and also what it does not mean, for us to take up our cross for Jesus.

    Jesus said to his disciples and to the crowd following him, “If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me” (8:34). It’s hard for us to hear those words in the same way that those following Jesus heard it. The context is that Peter has just recognised that ...read more

    Jesus had been teaching his disciples for about 2 years. He had been preparing his disciples for this private meeting at which he intended to reveal to them what would happen to him at Jerusalem. He had given hints along the way, but now he would explain

    The Gospel of Mark #21 – “Follow Me” Mark 8:27-38 Intro – 1. Have you ever been asked a tough question? I mean the type of question that has intense ramifications on your immediate future. The type of questions where you know the wrong answer could have severe ...read more

    Nobody can be like Christ and attract others to the community of faith without being filled with His compassion.

    Thursday of 6th Week in Course 2014 Lumen Fidei "Get behind me, you adversary! For you are not on the side of God, but of men." I suppose St. Peter, who was just plain Simon Peter at the time, was confused by what Jesus had just said to him. After all, he was supposed to be the ...read more

    Jesus says that the Son of Man MUST suffer greatly...

    24B. Talk about anti-climactic: Peter’s inspired answer that Jesus is “The One,” (the Messiah), through whom God will accomplish all that he promised is followed by the rebuke of, “Get behind me, Satan.” e.g. A married lady went out shopping one day and when she returned home she brought with ...read more

    The Paradoxical Sayings Of Jesus: Lose Your Life To Save It Series

    Contributed by James Wallace on Jul 30, 2018
     | 9,607 views

    Perhaps Jesus' most challenging saying of all is that to save your lives we must be willing to lose it for His sake and the Gospels. We explore what this really means practically, and whether Jesus meant for it to be literally true.

    The Paradoxical Sayings of Jesus Lose Your Life to Save It Mark 8:31-39 We continue in our summer series on the paradoxical sayings of Jesus. Jesus said a number of things which violate common sense, and seem to be impossible with regard to all the realities we face in this world, and would not ...read more

    Bait & Switch

    The life of discipleship has three steps: attachment, understanding, and imitation.

    God is unquestionably the world’s greatest fisherman. And he’s not at all offended by the description, either, because that is what he called us to be. And the first thing a fisherman has to know is what bait the fish will bite on. God got me good. Back in ‘83 I was Miss Corporate America, junior ...read more

     | 4,914 views

    This sermon marks a critical point in the ministry of Jesus. It is time for Jesus' disciples to know that He is the Messiah and to know what kind of Messiah He will be. They are shocked to discover there is a cross in store for Jesus and for all of Jesus' followers.

    Introduction: A. One day, two men with the same qualifications interviewed for the same job and both did equally well in the interview. 1.

    Jesus asks his disciples to deny and death self so He can live in us.

    Mark 8:31-38 Death and Deny 1. According to Jesus, we have two choices. Neither one of them is appealing. Is it possible if were not denying and deathing stuff are we pretenders? • Do we as followers have pretense problem? • Are we fake disciples?

    A sermon that contrasts human concerns with the concerns of God.

    “Whoever Wants to Be My Disciple…” Mark 8:31-38 If we are honest haven’t we all at, some point, have disagreed with Jesus, asking Him why He doesn’t do what we want? Why He won’t He see the world our way? I mean think about it. I’d imagine we can all come up with scenarios without me ...read more

    The Way Of The Cross

    Contributed by Dawn Duryea on Mar 4, 2024
     | 939 views

    In today’s Gospel reading, Peter responds to Jesus’ announcement that the Messiah will have to suffer and die by denying the cross. Peter is in essence denying the truth of this teaching – that the Messiah must suffer and by extension, his disciples.

    Last week we heard about Jesus being tempted in the wilderness right after his Baptism. That’s the way it feels sometimes – you just make a decision and then things happen that immediately bring your decision into question. This wilderness, of course, is metaphorical and now we find ourselves in ...read more

    We're called to live our faith genuinely and not hiddenly. To do that we need to know what our identity is as redeemed children of God.
