    Can the awesome presence of Jesus become too familiar? Looking to Jesus and carrying our own agenda produces problems with vision.

    Read or quote Mark 8. We are half way through Mark’s gospel today. What does Mark do for you and I as readers? Just think of the way we get to be in on all this action in Jesus’ life and ministry. We are allowed to overhear Jesus’ public and private conversations and observe the reactions of ...read more

    Our faith in Jesus Christ progressively heals us of our spiritual blindness.

    (Note: This sermon was introduced with scene # 32 from "Traveling Light") I’ve always had a secret fear about going blind. Out of all my senses, sight would be the most difficult for me to live without. Maybe it’s because I love to read so much. I always hated those assignments in high school that ...read more

    The disciples had allowed themselves to become so distracted that they missed the message Jesus was trying to give to them. Sometimes we allow the same thing to happen in our lives.

    According to the president of the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety 1.2 million crashes a year are caused by driver distractions. Of course we all know that with the way cell phones have taken over in our society that cell phones are definitely a distraction for many drivers. But to my surprise ...read more

    The willful unbelief of the Pharisees disturbed the Lord to the depths of His spirit.

    THOUGHTS ABOUT THE PASSAGE: People refuse to believe that which they don’t want to believe, in spite of evidence.

    Today we are going to see Jesus Christ do something miraculous, and we will see how our perspective determines our response, or how our response gives away our perspective, which ever you prefer.

    WILL IT TAKE A MIRACLE? Mark 8:1-21 INTRO: Last October, the miraculous occurred. The Anaheim Angels beat the San Francisco Giants 4 games to 3 to win the World Series. It was miraculous because the Angels have been playing major league baseball for 42 years, and had never even been to the World ...read more

    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.

    God’s miraculous signs never force our faith.

    February 17, 2009 Mark 8: 11-21 Whenever St. Mark uses the phrase “this generation,” the words have a specific meaning. In the first part of this passage, Jesus says that “this generation” is always looking for a sign, but He would not give them one. The use of that phrase goes all the way back ...read more

    False Faith: Faith Amnesia Series

    Contributed by Peter Loughman on Oct 14, 2007
    based on 46 ratings
     | 13,797 views

    Faith is about trusting in a person. Faith is not about stuff. It is not about things happening or things not. It is not about things coming together. It is not about a happy feeling or a secure moment or even knowledge - it is about a person.

    Richard Dawkins, the famous Oxford zoologist said, “Faith is the great copout, the great excuse to evade the need to think and evaluate evidence. Faith is belief in spite of, even perhaps because of, a lack of evidence.” Does Jesus prove Richard Dawkins right in our passage today? Jesus is asked ...read more

    God always provides what we need, and then some left over – a surplus. But only when we live by faith.

    God’s Mentality About Money Mark 8:13-21 The loaves and fishes event teaches us a lesson on God’s provision. It is clear that the disciples never learned the lesson about God’s provision. Why? Jesus had to remind them on two different occasions. After the feeding of the FOUR thousand (and that ...read more
