Sermons on San Marcos 10:37:

Two Brothers With An Agenda

Contributed by Robert Butler on Feb 14, 2022

The original disciples were no different than us in their pride until they fully understood what Jesus did for them AND only then did the commitment make sense.

Two brothers walk up to Jesus. It sounds like the beginning of a joke doesn’t it? Two brothers, often referred to as the sons of thunder, walk up to Jesus. It was just after the third time he shared that crazy statement about going to Jerusalem to die. They knew he was just trying to scare off the ...read more

The goal of this sermon is to invite you to see leadership in the kingdom of God as a servant and not as one who "lords one's position" over others. To be great means to imitate Jesus and truly be a servant to all!

Jesus - The Saviour

Contributed by Steve Pearman on Mar 6, 2023

This was used in a series, but can stand alone, looking at people's understanding - then and now of Jesus. With reference to serving, authority, and kingship

WRONG IDEA OF KINGSHIP (37) It was apparent to many that Jesus was the Messiah. Some tried to ignore that, or push the idea to one side, because He didn’t fit into the image that they had of the Messiah. Indeed, we know that some of the famous passages in the Old |Testament about this Messiah spoke ...read more

Like A Palm Tree

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Apr 2, 2023

[Palm Sunday.] Today we wave the palms as we come to this table … a sign that our sin has come to end. Today we wave the palms and come to this table as we profess our desire to serve God wholeheartedly.

Palm Sunday. A perfect example of the fact that Jesus’ Disciples and His followers get it … and don’t get it. They get that He is a king … a leader … a prophet and messiah sent by God … but … a king … a leader … a prophet … a messiah who rides into the Jerusalem on colt … not a great stallion or ...read more

How Are We To Be Servant Leaders?

Contributed by Chris Swanson on May 21, 2023

Jesus teaches about serving others. We are not to think too highly of ourselves in the service of the Lord.

In this passage of Scripture, Mark is telling us what Jesus teaches about serving others. This concurs with the story in Matthew 20:20-28. Mark records that John and James went to Jesus with their appeal; in Matthew, their mother likewise made the petition. There is no logical inconsistency in the ...read more

How To Measure Success Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Aug 20, 2023

The more we have humility, and we are serving others the more we are like Christ. The places of honor in Christi’s kingdom are not reserved for those who seek it selfishly.

In our passage the disciples are sensing Jesus’ time has come. They know Jesus is the anointed Messiah and now they are arguing who will sit in Jesus’ right and left when his kingdom is established.
