  • A Sequence Of Sayings

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 12, 2018
    based on 3 ratings
     | 4,965 views

    A reward for those who welcome Jesus' disciples. A warning for those who lead them astray.

    A SEQUENCE OF SAYINGS. Mark 9:38-50. 1. John informed Jesus of “one casting out devils in Your name; and we forbad him because he follows not with us” (Mark 9:38). Perhaps John’s jealousy was fired by the failure of the nine members of the team who - whilst Jesus, Peter, James and John ...read more

  • We Are The Salt Series

     | 6,504 views

    If we live for Jesus the Holy Spirit will testify to itself, and in living for Jesus we will have peace among one another because we are commanded to!

    We are the Salt Mark 9:38-50 - Jesus is demonstrated in this book as a “servant” -- Key verse: Mark 10:45, “For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” - IMP: What God says to us here is critical ...read more

    Sermon to encourage Christians to serve one another and the world

    (Hand out Peppermints to Congregation) Months ago I was preaching and a few minutes into the sermon I started coughing. I was not aware of it at the time but a man left the sanctuary and came back with a cup of cold water that saved me and the sermon. I knew then that the Lord wanted me to develop ...read more

  • Inclusion Is What We Need, Not Power Hungry People

    Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Aug 11, 2021
     | 1,755 views

    Jesus rebuked His disciples because they wanted to keep the power of healing for themselves. This is happening in church today even though Jesus said it is wrong!

    I think that it is sad that when I read this narrative, it made me think about the control the church has held over people for almost 2000 years. The church used only one verse, thus out of context, to control people. Catholics could not own a Bible until 1964 CE. The idea that a person has to ...read more

  • No Stumbling Blocks

    Contributed by Vic Folkert on Sep 16, 2021
     | 4,772 views

    Why do people disconnect from Christ and the church? We must not cause "these little ones" to stumble.

    NO STUMBLING BLOCKS—Mark 9:38-50 This morning, we face a troubling reality: Many Americans are moving away from Christ and the church. Some are high-profile influencers, who might say they are “done” with church, or “deconstructing” their faith. Others are ordinary people—maybe people we know—who ...read more

  • Don't Offend My Children, Or Else

    Contributed by Mark A. Barber on Sep 21, 2021
     | 1,581 views

    Even as Jesus suffered offense at the hands of others, every Christian shall likewise suffer. How we respond to this offense is important.

    Don't Offend MY Children, or Else! Mark 9:38-50 It is a bit odd that this week’s gospel text from the lectionary begins with John’s response to what Jesus had just said. It is poor practice to start in the middle of a paragraph. Before we can analyze this text, we need to ask: “What was John ...read more

  • Jesus Gives Us Hell

     | 1,980 views

    Jesus threatens hell over sins committed and threatens wrath in a call to repentance, telling us to chop off eye, hand, and feet. What hope do we have? Find out.

    9.26.21 Mark 9:38–50 38 John said to him, “Teacher, we saw someone driving out demons in your name. We tried to stop him, because he was not following us.” 39 But Jesus said, “Do not try to stop him, because no one who does a miracle in my ...read more

  • Twenty-Sixth Sunday In Ordinary Time—b ; 26th Sunday B-- Lessons From Lizards

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Sep 24, 2021
     | 1,466 views

    According to the artist "the Thinker" is sitting in mute amazement as he contemplates lost people in hell.

    Lizards scatter when they perceive a threat, and they will self-amputate their tail if a predator seizes it. It will leave its tail behind and run but with modified locomotor performance and mechanics. The lizard says to itself: 'It's better to lose my tail than to lose my ...read more

  • Xxvi Domingo Ordinario, Ano B-- Lecciones De Los Lagartos

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Sep 24, 2021
     | 980 views

    ¿En qué está pensando el pensador? Según el artista, "el Pensador" está sentado en mudo asombro mientras contempla a la gente perdida en el infierno.

    Los lagartos se dispersan cuando perciben una amenaza y se auto-amputarán la cola si un depredador se la agarra. Dejará atrás la cola y correrá pero con locomotor y movimientos modificados. El lagarto se dice a sí mismo: "¡Es mejor perder la cola que perder la ...read more

     | 1,730 views

    The disciples were focused on their status and not upon the love of God. What were the disciples missing, what should they have known?

    This sermon was delivered to Holy Trinity in Ayr, South Ayrshire, Scotland on the 26th September 2021; a Scottish Episcopal Church in the Dioceses of Glasgow and Dumfries. The readings for today are: Esther 7:1-6, 9-10; 9:20-22 Psalm 12 James 5:13-20 Main Reading: Mark ...read more

  • Discipleship And Distortion (September 20, 2012).

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Aug 14, 2020
     | 3,669 views

    In this passage of scripture, we can see three things. First, we can see where caution hinders compassion. Secondly, we can see where compassion builds community. Finally, we can see where members of the community must be accountable to God and each other.

    DISCIPLESHIP AND DISTORTION Text: Mark 9:38 – 50 There is the story of an army chaplain who once told his men that he did not believe in hell. Some of his men responded by saying that his services would no longer be needed. The one who tells this story (Warren W. Wiersbe) also says ...read more

  • Be Supportive Of Other Churches Series

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Oct 30, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,168 views

    If we serve the Lord with the impure motive of personal gain, instead of with the intention of leading people to faith in Christ, then we can become self-focused, critical and judgmental of other believers and other churches.

    The apostle Paul once admonished the Philippians, “Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others” (Philippians 2:3-4). In ...read more

  • Stumbing Along

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jul 19, 2023
     | 1,390 views

    Unexamined assumptions can cause us to stumble over things we don't even notice.

    It’s a little disconcerting, sitting down to write a sermon on a passage that you’ve already preached on twice, to find that neither time did you say what you’d planned to say. Of course, only preachers have that problem... Maybe only 60-something preachers have that problem. But more generally, ...read more

  • Cut It Out

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jul 21, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,631 views

    We are always trying to blame our sin on something else - on someone else, on society, on circumstances. But Jesus says that what makes us sin is part of ourselves.

    I stopped watching TV news three or four years ago. But you have to know what's going on, somehow, so there are a few sources I've come to trust. But guess what? They're just as depressing as TV news. Because what is actually happening is worse than what you might imagine if you stayed ...read more
