  • The Greatest In The Kingdom

    Contributed by Rich O' Toole on May 30, 2023
     | 1,761 views

    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. The term “class” began to be used widely in the early 19th century, replacing such terms as rank and order, as descriptions of ...read more

    Causing the little Ones to Stumble

    Cut it Out! Mark 9:38-50 Do you remember when you were a kid and would tell other kids on the playground, “My daddy is bigger than your daddy”? A Bronx Tale is a film about a young man named “C”, who is growing up in the 60's, as he is guided by two father figures; one was his own father and ...read more

  • Hearing Problems

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jul 19, 2023
     | 1,122 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
     | 1,447 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

    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

  • "Servant Leadership Vs I Want To Be Great”

    Contributed by Clarence Eisberg on Sep 17, 2024
     | 1,230 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
     | 622 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
     | 1,086 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

    A sermon about seeking to imitate the humility of Christ.

    The Last in Line Mark 9:30-37 Ever play “King of the Mountain” when you were a little kid? It doesn’t take any equipment. All you need is a pile of dirt or maybe a mound of snow. Then, several children run up the mound and try to push the others off on their way to the top. Whoever is ...read more

  • Keep Your Salt Levels High Series

    Contributed by Fr Mund Cargill Thompson on Sep 28, 2024
    based on 4 ratings
     | 1,802 views

    Why Wikipedia beats printed encylcopedias. How doing the hardest thing (what's that?) can help lift our spirits when we are low. And how that fits not just with Jesus's saying about saltiness but with the rest of today's bible readings. A sermon from September 2015

    Have a taste of this [hand out teaspoon of salt to someone in the front row] “If salt loses it’s saltiness with what will you season it?” I have two things that I would like to draw out of today’s texts about ways in which we can lose our saltiness - one personal and one public. One personal - ...read more

    Contributed by William Akehurst on Apr 3, 2025
     | 617 views

    JESUS teaches the disciples that following HIM and taking the message to the world would not be easy. Some will receive it, others won’t. But they would soon learn the LORD provides, and to lean on JESUS. Our Desire is to be more like HIM and Carry forth HIS Message of TRUTH to our world.

  • Twenty-Sixth Sunday In Ordinary Time, Year B: "When In Doubt, Cut It Out.”

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Aug 15, 2024
     | 815 views

    It is not hyperbole to say that it is better to enter heaven maimed [one-armed, one-footed, and one-eyed] than to enter hell whole. That is literally true.

    “When Jesus exaggerated” is a book title, and there are countless articles on how Jesus uses exaggeration and hyperbole for effect, like we hear this Sunday; to literally cut off your hand or foot or gouge-out your eyes because then you won’t sin with them.1 However, “it is not hyperbole to say ...read more

  • Para Ser Grandes

    Contributed by Wilbur Madera Rivas on Apr 13, 2023
     | 2,060 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
