    Getting away from the tendency to believe our walk of faith is the ONLY or the SUPERIOR way

    Weekend Message/Devotion Mark 9:38-50 September 30, 2018 Our Way, No Way, OR God’s Way Today’s gospel reading begins with the account of John telling Jesus that he and the other disciples saw someone casting out demons in the name of Jesus. He said that they made this fellow stop because he ...read more

    What's Preventing You From Accepting Christ As Your Savior?

    Some reasons given for why I’m not accepting Christ as my Savior and scripture responses.

    Religion-- Jesus is the only way. John 14:6 ?It’s not about religion. It’s about Jesus. Confess and believe and you will be saved. Romans 10:9 I don't believe in Heaven-- Jesus said I go to prepare a place for you and I will come again to receive you unto myself. John 14:2-3 Revelation 21:3-4 ...read more

    Inclusion Is What We Need, Not Power Hungry People

    Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Aug 11, 2021
     | 1,638 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

    Today's Stumbling Blocks Of The Church

    Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Aug 17, 2021
     | 3,433 views

    Jesus spoke about stumbling blocks in the faith. Oh yes, that includes the church. Does the church have any?

    42 "aWhoever causes one of these 1little ones who believe to stumble, it 2would be better for him if, with a heavy millstone hung around his neck, he 3had been cast into the sea. 43 "aIf your hand causes you to stumble, cut it off; it is better for you to enter life crippled, than, having ...read more

    God Is Love: That's Why He Created Hell

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Aug 18, 2021
     | 1,895 views

    This is a revision of a sermon I posted over a year ago on another website. The subject matter is more timely than ever considering the rapid descent into evil and chaos we have witnessed recently. Come quickly, Lord Jesus.

    There are some things that are getting more hard to find as the days draw nearer to the LORD'S return, such as ethical politicians, intelligent leftists, happy liberals, competent leadership, and sound Biblical preaching on the reality and horror of a literal, real place called hell. Now ...read more

    Salt

    Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Aug 24, 2021
     | 3,387 views

    Salt was scarce in the Near East in Jesus' day. It symbolized the bonds of friendship, peace and love between people. It is another example of the great commandment that Jesus gave us to love one another.

    Salt Rev. Dr. Michael H. Koplitz Mark 9:49-50 Mark 9:49 "For everyone will be salted with fire. 50 "Salt is good; but if the salt becomes unsalty, with what will you 1make it salty again? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another." This short narrative about salt ...read more

    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

     | 1,489 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 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

    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

    ¿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

    Salt sustains life. It signifies faithfulness. Likewise, Jesus Christ represents salt: He preserves life, sustains life, and is faithful to His promises to us.

    A Seasoned Christian Salt is good, but if the salt loses its flavor, how will you season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace with one another. - Mark 9:50 There are many Christians in our world today. And as Christians, we are called to show compassion, kindness, and love. We are to find ...read more

    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

    You do not end up as mere food for worms and fertilizer for flowers in a forgotten grave. You will be in one of two places after you take your last breath, and you will face the Sovereign LORD, either as Savior or Judge. Where do you stand on that fact?

    The Holy Bible affirms that there are ONLY two places where your soul can go after death. Either you will be in heaven with God the Father, the Lord Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, and the redeemed of all history, or in hell with the devil, his angels, and the wicked of all history, to be ...read more
