    Our minds want a god we can control, but that’s not following Jesus

    Then he began to teach them that the Son of Man must undergo great suffering, and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again. 32He said all this quite openly. And Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him. 33But turning and ...read more

    To win at the "Game of Life" board game one must amass a fortune. But to win in God’s game of life we must lose our worldliness.

    Being A Loser at the Game of Life Mark 8:31-38 NOTE: The general concept for this sermon was adapted from a children’s sermon idea found at sermons4kids.com In 1860, Milton Bradley created his first game.

    A Rebuke Turned Back Series

     | 4,748 views

    Jesus turns from silence about His achievements to open speaking about His death. He will not follow the ambition path, the pleasure path, or the easy spirituality path.

    You can admire Jesus, you can think well of Jesus, you can even love Jesus. But you cannot domesticate Him, you cannot tame Him, you cannot make Him sweet and nice and pretty. He is who He is and He says what He says, and sometimes it’s hard to take. In my experience, just about everybody out ...read more

    How Do I Take Up My Cross?

    Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Mar 28, 2009
    based on 14 ratings
     | 12,090 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

    Then Jesus and his disciples set out for the villages around Caesarea Philippi. On the way he was asking his disciples, "Who do people say I am?" They answered him, "Some say John the Baptist, others Elijah, and still others one of the prophets." Then he

    Then he began to teach them that the Son of Man would have to suffer a great deal and be rejected by the elders, the high priests, and the scribes. Then he would be killed, but after three days he would rise again. He was speaking about this matter quite openly. Peter took him aside and began to ...read more

    Dazzling Mountain, Dying Mountain

    For Transfiguration Sunday. God gives us defining, dazzling moments, perhaps only a few; but they empower us for the self-giving times and never need to be renewed.

    For many people, life peaks early, and then they seem to run downhill all the way thereafter. There are many people who do well early in life -- they have a happy childhood, they do well in school, they launch their careers, all in their early years. But then something goes wrong. Something goes a ...read more

    Jesus said that whoever desires to come after Him must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow Him. What does that look like in our world today?

    Jesus tells us the cost of discipleship and the values we must hold to follow Him.

    (My illustrations are from my files, primarily. No intention is implied that they are original. I have simply used them too much to remember where I found them. Variations of them can all be found on the internet, even on this site). Jesus addresses the crowd to share with them the values ...read more

    The "How Do I Know I Am A Christian" Test?

    Contributed by Roy Sommerville on Jul 30, 2011
    based on 4 ratings
     | 8,249 views

    In Mark 8:27-38, Jesus provides six marks of an authentic follower of Jesus, and these serve as the basis of this six question test to determine the reality of your Christian faith.

    The “How Do I Know I’m A Christian?” Test Mark 8:27-38 There are a lot of people who think they’re Christians and really aren’t. Then there are some Christians who have no assurance that they are Christians and are afraid they’re not Christians. Then there ...read more

    Hard Questions That Jesus Asked

    Contributed by Jerry Flury on Mar 5, 2011

     | 14,653 views

    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
