Seeking Eternal Life

Mark 10:17-31 An interviewer once asked Donald Trump, “What do you think about death? Do you worry about dying?” Trump said, “No. I’m fatalistic; I protect myself as well as anybody can. I prepare for things.” However, as Mr. Trump walked away, he hesitated momentarily. “No,” he said finally, “I don’t believe in reincarnation, heaven […]
Understanding Temptation

James 1:12-16 It is good to be with you again today. Thanks for joining us as we learn from God’s Word together. One of the first stories in the Bible is Adam and Eve being tempted in the garden. We also know Satan tempted Jesus before he began his public ministry. From these stories, we […]
Children of the Kingdom

Mark 10:13-16 Many of us have heard stories about someone buying something for a few dollars at a yard sale or flea market and then learning that what they purchased was worth much more than what they had paid. The seller did not know the value of the item they were offering for sale, or […]

Maybe I Do, Part 2

Mark 10:1-12 Last time, we began studying Mark 10:1 to 12 under the title “Maybe I Do.” This text describes Jesus’ interaction with the Pharisees regarding divorce. In this dialogue with the Pharisees and His disciples, I mentioned that Jesus HIGHLIGHTS the insufficiency of “Maybe I do” and calls us to a radical commitment to […]

Maybe I Do: Part 1

Are You in the Faith?

Radical Discipleship

Mark 9:42-50 “You’re a radical!” No one wants to be called that. It’s a word that makes us uncomfortable. It suggests extremes in viewpoints, habits, beliefs, lifestyles, or institutions. Radicals are people you want to stay away from! Most people find their comfort zone somewhere in the middle rather than the extremes. In the United […]
