    We must strive to be Christians only, but we must never be so arrogant to claim that we are the only Christians.

    Jesus claims in this reading that to be a disciple one needs to be inclusive to all. Jesus was inclusive and calls us to be inclusive. The sermons teaches us the dangers of not being inclusive.

    "Jesus is Inclusive" Mark 9:38-50 1. Our text starts out with the idea of who is included and those excluded • Our text says Mark 9:38"Teacher," said John, "we saw a man driving out demons in your name and we told him to stop, because he was not one of ...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
