     | 5,518 views

    If you want to be first, learn to be last!

    A CHILD-LIKE HUMILITY. Mark 9:30-37. 1. CONTEXT (Mark 8:29-34). On the back of Peter’s famous confession of faith (Mark 8:29), Jesus began to teach His disciples about His upcoming death and resurrection (Mark 8:31). About this the disciples were, to say the least, slow on the uptake: ...read more

  • Hearing Problems

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jul 19, 2023
     | 983 views

    Are we afraid to ask what Jesus has in store for us, of what our future following him might look like?

    This was a very difficult sermon to prepare because this passage doesn’t really apply to you, at least not the way most preachers spin it. I can just hear the disciples arguing over who’s the greatest, can’t you? like a bunch of little boys bragging in the playground at recess, or kids ...read more

  • Stumbing Along

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jul 19, 2023
     | 1,172 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

  • The Lesson "ears To Hear" Teaches Us

    Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Aug 8, 2023
     | 1,599 views

    "He that ears to hear, let him hear.” Why did Jesus say this about the purpose of parables and what does it mean for us today?

    I am going to open the message with the first part of John 16:13 from the Amplified Bible. “But when He, the Spirit of Truth (the Truth-giving spirit) comes, He will guide you into all the Truth (the whole, full Truth).” During the Last Supper, which is recorded in John chapters 13 through 17, ...read more

  • Jesus Teaches His Disciples (Part 2) Series

    Contributed by David Owens on Sep 4, 2023
     | 1,451 views

    As Jesus continued to privately teach His disciples in Mark chapter 9, we see that He focused on teaching them about pride and prejudice. It was important for them and for us to learn about humility and tolerance.

    Introduction: A. In last week’s sermon, we started a section in the Gospel of Mark where Jesus was privately teaching His disciples some very important lessons on discipleship. 1. The two lessons we explored last week had to do with prayer and the passion of Jesus. 2. In today’s sermon, we will ...read more

  • Para Ser Grandes

     | 1,775 views

    En el reino de Cristo, la grandeza radica en ser como él.

    Un poco antes de la pandemia comencé a descubrir un gusto, que no sabía que tenía, por la cocina. Comencé con cosas muy sencillas como una carne molida que se fue sofisticando un poquito. Al llegar la pandemia y estar más tiempo en casa, pues se descaró mi ...read more

  • Who’s The Greatest?

    Contributed by Howard Strickland on Jul 26, 2022
     | 1,754 views

    Who’s the greatest? Who among us has the most clout? Who gets to be close to Jesus? Who gets the money and the power?

    Who’s the greatest? Mark 9:36-37AMP These confessions and thoughts have been on my heart and mind for some time now, and I have a burden to plead with those of you who have followed the Lord Jesus for any amount of time to examine yourselves and perhaps engage in some spiritual "house ...read more

  • Becoming Small

    Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Apr 5, 2022
     | 935 views

    We want to be big, but Jesus makes Himself small. We, too, must make ourselves small, like Jesus.

    BECOMING SMALL Mark 9:30-37 (ESV) What is wrong?—We want to be big. What is true?—Jesus makes Himself small. What to do—We must make ourselves small. How?—By… I Observing What Jesus Does for Us (Mark 9:30-32) 1. While Jesus Is Great, He Became Small (9:30-31a) ‘…He was teaching his disciples, ...read more

    The Disciples argue over who is the greatest

    The Greatest in the Kingdom Mark 9:30-37 The Britannica website defines social class, as a group of people within a society who possess the same socioeconomic status.

  • "Servant Leadership Vs I Want To Be Great”

    Contributed by Clarence Eisberg on Sep 17, 2024
     | 983 views

    Opened with "The Invisible Gorilla" story. The disciples did not understand the culture of the kingdom even after viewing all the miracles... Quotes from Jesus Manifesto and Who Broke My Church... about values of being "servants".

    Jesus Holy Name September 22, 2024 Text: Mark 9:33-35 Redeemer “Servant Leadership vs I Want to Be Great” Jesus has been busy. He has been transfigured on a mountain before Peter, James and ...read more

  • Let Us Test Him With Insult And Torture

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Sep 19, 2024
     | 343 views

    Here and in other sources we see that there was at the time of Jesus a current of thought imagining that the Messiah, or some other righteous man, would die for the sins of the people.

    Twenty-Fifth Sunday in Course 2024 About fifty years before the birth of our Savior Jesus, an unknown Jew, probably living in Egypt because of the dispersal of Israelites by Assyria and Babylon, wrote what is called the Book of Wisdom. It’s written in Greek in the style of the Hebrew wisdom ...read more

  • Servant Of All

    Contributed by Charles Mallory on Sep 19, 2024
     | 716 views

    Jesus lived out and taught us how to become great in the Kingdom of God. We not only deny ourselves, pick up our cross and follow Jesus, but humble ourselves to become servant to all.

    WHEN WE THINK OF SERVICE TO OTHERS AND ALL THE POSSIBLE WAYS TO ENGAGE OUR ABILITIES, I READ A RATHER HUMOROUS WAY OF LOOKING AT THIS WHICH SAID, ““IF YOU THINK YOU ARE TOO SMALL TO BE EFFECTIVE, YOU HAVE NEVER BEEN IN BED WITH A MOSQUITO.” HOWEVER, ON A MORE SERIOUS NOTE, I LIKE THE WORDS OF JOHN ...read more

     | 411 views

    Crucifying the flesh with its harmful passions is crucial.

    Tuesday of the Seventh Week in Course 2024 We worship today in the still strong light of Pentecost, and we are reminded by St. James “do you suppose it is in vain that the scripture says, ‘[God] yearns jealously over the spirit which he has made to dwell in us’"? Now the jealousy of God ...read more
