    First spiritual healing. Then physical.

    Mark 2:1 A few days later, when Jesus again entered Capernaum, the people heard that he had come home. 2 So many gathered that there was no room left, not even outside the door, and he preached the word to them. 3 Some men came, bringing to him a paralytic, carried by four of them. 4 Since they ...read more

    The Pharisees accuse the disciples of Sabbath breaking when they pick grain while traveling. Jesus responds by pointing to David eating the bread of the presence.

    Mark 2:23 One Sabbath Jesus was going through the grainfields, and as his disciples walked along, they began to pick some heads of grain. 24 The Pharisees said to him, “Look, why are they doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath?” 25 He answered, “Have you never read what David did when he and his ...read more

     | 1,575 views

    The Pharisees came with the purpose of getting evidence against Jesus. He went out of his way to make a scene to challenge their attitudes.

    Mark 3:1 Again he went into the synagogue, and a man with a shriveled hand was there. 2 They were watching him closely to see if he would heal him on the Sabbath. 3 Jesus said to the man with the shriveled hand, “Stand up in front of everyone.” 4 Then Jesus asked them, “Which is lawful on the ...read more

    Behind The Curtain - Mark 9:1-7 Series

     | 1,091 views

    What is the purpose of the Transfiguration? And how can it help you in your daily life? This message will answer those questions and show you how this event explodes with meaning when you understand the “hyperlinks” in the setting.

    Mark 9:1 And he said to them, "I tell you the truth, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God come with power." 2 After six days Jesus took Peter, James and John with him and led them up a high mountain, where they were all alone. There he was ...read more

    Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Dec 26, 2023
     | 783 views

    What do you do when you feel overwhelmed by the evil in the world—or in the church? You feel powerless to do anything of significance, and the unbelief and disobedience to God is so exasperating. This passage shows us what Jesus did in that situation, and it may surprise you.

    Mark 9:14 When they came to the other disciples, they saw a large crowd around them and the teachers of the law arguing with them. 15 As soon as all the people saw Jesus, they were overwhelmed with wonder and ran to greet him. 16 "What are you arguing with them about?" he asked. 17 A man ...read more

     | 753 views

    If you are a Christian, you probably don’t have the kind of unbelief the boy’s father had. But we often have the kind of unbelief the disciples had. This message will show you how to detect that kind of unbelief in your heart and overcome it.

    Mark 9:14 When they came to the other disciples, they saw a large crowd around them and the teachers of the law arguing with them. 15 As soon as all the people saw Jesus, they were overwhelmed with wonder and ran to greet him. 16 "What are you arguing with them about?" he asked. 17 A man ...read more

    What should you do when other people have control over some area of your life to your detriment?

    Mark 9:30 They left that place and passed through Galilee. Jesus did not want anyone to know where they were, 31 because he was teaching his disciples.

    True Greatness - Mark 9:33-36 Series

    Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Dec 29, 2023
     | 1,459 views

    We read of the disciples arguing who was the greatest, and we see it as immature and crass. But all of us have far more of that in us than we realize. This sermon will help you discover areas of self-exaltation and show the path toward true greatness.

    Mark 9:30 They left that place and passed through Galilee. Jesus did not want anyone to know where they were, 31 because he was teaching his disciples. He said to them, "The Son of Man is going to be delivered into the hands of men. They will kill him, and after three days he will rise." ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 3,395 views

    These are the footnotes that go along with my previous sermon on Mark 9:42-50 titled "Don't Go to Hell"

    Mark 9:49 Everyone will be salted with fire. 50 "Salt is good, but if it loses its saltiness, how can you make it salty again? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with each other." This is a very difficult passage to interpret—trying to figure out what Jesus means by salt, and ...read more

    Male And Female - Mark 10:1-12 Series

    Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Jan 8, 2024
     | 1,022 views

    When asked about divorce, Jesus’ first response was to point out maleness and femaleness. This message will help you see how the characteristics of the sexes combine to create a whole greater than the sum of the parts.

    Mark 10:1 Jesus then left that place and went into the region of Judea and across the Jordan. Again crowds of people came to him, and as was his custom, he taught them. 2 Some Pharisees came and tested him by asking, "Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?" 3 "What did Moses ...read more

    Who are the powers of the heavens? And why are they singled out as those who will be shaken at the Second Coming?

    The Unforgettable Perfume - Mark 14:1-8 Series

    Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Apr 27, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,632 views

    Is it really a good thing for this woman to spend a whole year’s wages on a single, momentary act of worship? And if so, why perfume? Wouldn’t there be some more practical gifts that could be given with that amount of money?

    Mark 14:1 Now the Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread were only two days away, and the chief priests and the teachers of the law were looking for some sly way to arrest Jesus and kill him. 2 "But not during the Feast," they said, "or the people may riot." 3 While he was ...read more

    Sleepy Judas - Mark 14:10-16 Series

    Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Apr 28, 2024
     | 673 views

    Why did Judas sell out the man he had left everything to follow? Surely it must have been more than just the money, right? Jesus has been preparing us for the answer to that question throughout the whole book of Mark.

    Mark 14:10 Then Judas Iscariot, one of the Twelve, went to the chief priests to betray Jesus to them. 11 They were delighted to hear this and promised to give him money. So he watched for an opportunity to hand him over. 12 On the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, when it was customary to ...read more

    Take And Eat - Mark 14:22-26 Series

    Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on May 4, 2024
     | 957 views

    Why do some verses in the Bible make our relationship with God sound conditional, and other verses make it sound unconditional? The answer to that question is the key to understanding the gospel and having the closest, most intimate relationship with God possible.

    Mark 14:22 While they were eating, Jesus took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to his disciples, saying, "Take it; this is my body." 23 Then he took the cup, gave thanks and offered it to them, and they all drank from it. 24 "This is my blood of the covenant, which is ...read more
