Hope for the Hopeless | Mark 5:1-20

After Jesus exercised His authority over the tumult of the wind and the waves of the sea (Mk 4:34–41), He then further shows His authority over the tumult of a man’s life riddled with demonic oppression. The case of Christ’s identity and authority is proven as “The Son of the Most High God” as He saves a man and commissions him against all odds to a life of gospel ministry.

With Jesus Through the Storm | Mark 4:35-41

This passage in Mark shows the disciples being stricken by fear over an impending storm, only to present Jesus as the calm, sovereign figure over their situation. This sermon analyzes how we handle the storms in our life, presenting how we should approach them knowing that the Lord will guide us through anything we face.

Be Careful How You Hear | Mark 4:21-34

In Mark chapter 4, Jesus’ teaching ministry transitioned to open proclamation of the gospel (Mark 1:15) to teaching in parables (4:33–34). In vv. 21–34, we see Jesus’ method and manner of teaching about the Kingdom of God to the general masses and we see His intentional explanations to those who came to Him with soft teachable hearts.

Behold, My Mother and My Brothers | Mark 3:20-35

Pastor David Robinson from Westhill Church continues our series on the Gospel of Mark. In this passage, we see three parties respond to Jesus' healing in the synagogue and selecting of the Disciples in various ways. This sermon analyzes these responses and how Jesus explains and guides them to understand the truth.

The Lord of the Sabbath | Mark 2:23-3:8

The Pharisees were depicted as men who, though attempting to follow the Law of the Old Testament, did not see Jesus as their Savior. This passage of Mark shows them attempt to discredit Jesus by attempting to control what others do on the Sabbath, in spite of the Lord of the Sabbath being in their midst.

The Authority of Jesus (Mark 1:21-28)

Pastor Trevor Ice from Edgewood Bible Church preaches on the next section in Mark, which centers on the beginning of Jesus' teaching following the selection of His disciples. In this section, we can see the immediate and formidable Jesus' display of authority captures the attention of those that He first encountered in the early days of His teaching.

From Affirmation to Wilderness Testing (Mark 1:9-13)

Jesus' baptism and subsequent temptation in the wilderness is a portion of Scripture that appropriately showcases His humility and glory. In this Sunday's sermon, elder Bill Mickelson preaches on how these stories effectively present Jesus' power and authority, and how His actions can motivate us to wage war against sin.

Making Ready the Way of the Lord (Mark 1:1-8)

The beginning of the first chapter of Mark presents us with a description of John the Baptist, who is an important forerunner that paves the way for Jesus Christ and His mission. Pastor David Erickson presents us with four critical components that must be discussed when reviewing this indispensible section of Scripture.

Jesus Christ - The Servant Savior

The Gospel of Mark presents an opening verse that sets the stage well for one of the four Gospel accounts of the life of Jesus Christ. Before we can delve deep into the material, however, we must first consider who Mark is, the message he is sharing from his perspective, and who Jesus is described as within the text.
