A Jesus Centered Community of Scripture, Faith, and Grace
Sermons on Mark (Page 3)
We consider how God’s Kingdom is a kingdom that comes to our rescue and to rescue the world. Jeremiah 31: 7-9 | Psalm 126 | Hebrews 7: 23-28 | Mark 10: 46-52
We talk about how we can know who is a part of God’s kingdom and how we can simultaneously say that it is impossible for us but that nothing is impossible for God, including our salvation.
We continue our “Thy Kingdom Come” series by talking about generosity and how the reign of God in our lives creates generous hearts in us. Amos 5: 6-7, 10-15 | Psalm 90: 12-17 | Hebrews 3: 12-19 | Mark 10: 17-22
We begin our “Thy Kingdom Come” series by considering how sin brings disharmony and how God’s reign reestablishes harmony among us. Genesis 2: 18-25 | Psalm 128 | Hebrews 2: 1-4 | Mark 10: 2-16
When we have hope, we don’t worry about other people as much as we are concerned about ourselves. Hopeful people don’t ignore others, but we recognize that we can change ourselves and we cannot necessarily change others. Numbers 11: 4-6, 10-16, 24-29 | Psalm 104:27-35 | James 5: 13-20 | Mark 9: 38-50
When we have hope, we don’t just rely on ourselves and our own ideas, but we seek the wisdom of those who can guide us. Jeremiah 11: 18-20 | Psalm 54 | James 3: 13 – 4 : 10 | Mark 9:30-37
We talk about the action of prayer, which many time is an action of stopping ourselves and checking in with God for His will and His grace to speak into our lives. Isaiah 50: 4-10 | Psalm 116: 1-9 | James 3: 1-12 | Mark 9: 14-29
We continue our “Hope Does” series by looking at the way that hope creates great expectations in us of what God is able to do in our lives and in the lives of others. Isaiah 35: 4-7 | Psalm 146 | James 2: 1-18 | Mark 7: 24-37
We continue our “Hope Does” series by examining how sin tries to complexify our lives and how our hope keeps our lives simple. Deuteronomy 4: 1-2, 6-9 | Psalm 119: 129-136 | Ephesians 6: 10-20 | Mark 7: 14-23
We start our “Hope Does” series by exploring how hope rejects legalism, not only because legalism is not good, but because of how antithetical legalism is to the hope that we are given in Jesus Christ. Isaiah 29: 11-19 | Psalm 14 | Ephesians 5: 22-33 | Mark 7: 1-13
