Jesus Teaches His Disciples (Part 2) Series

Contributed by David Owens on Sep 4, 2023

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

The Road Back Home PRO Sermon

Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Sep 29, 2025

God lovingly exposes our hidden flaws to awaken us, inviting us to repentance and restoration through His grace, not shame, so we may return to Him.

Some mornings the mirror tells the truth better than our memories. You’re brushing your teeth and you notice a new gray hair. It didn’t ask permission to arrive.

Stay focused on God’s calling, resisting distractions and lesser pursuits, so your life’s work aligns with what truly matters in God’s eyes.

Some weeks feel like a parade of interruptions. Phones ping, pressures pile, promises pull, and before long our attention drifts like a leaf on a windy day.

Worship Is Feasting On God PRO Sermon

Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Oct 9, 2025

True satisfaction and joyful obedience are found only in knowing God and delighting in His presence, rather than seeking fulfillment in the world’s empty offerings.

If we could sit together around a kitchen table, you’d notice the warmth of the oven and the smell of fresh bread. Plates set, cups full, chairs pulled close. That’s the picture in my mind when I think of what God offers His people: a table where the hungry are welcomed, where the thirsty are ...read more

Maybe you woke up this morning with a knot in your stomach and a question in your heart: How am I going to face this?

Where Is Your Center?

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Oct 18, 2000

When I told friends and acquaintances in Minnesota that I was moving to New Jersey, one of the commonest responses was, "How close will you be to Atlantic City?" This seemed to me to be an odd reaction, it certainly isn't something I'm particularly attuned to.
