Can You See The Glory?

Can You See The Glory? (Mark 9:2-13)

The transfiguration is the mind-blowing final scene of Mark’s three-part drama of who Jesus is. Jesus is transformed and a voice calls us to listen to him…

Can You See The Cross?

Can You See The Cross? (Mark 8:34-9:1)

Jesus continues to develop the implications of what it means to be a disciple. There’s no way around this – we have to walk the same road as Jesus.

Can You See The Messiah? (Mark 8:27-33)

Jesus asks the disciples who they think he is. Peter answers: You are the Messiah. This sermon explores that whole moment, and the expectations Peter had.

You Still Don’t Understand? (Mark 8:1-21)

The question that has been bubbling under the gospel of Mark is now becoming central: who is Jesus?

Jesus Welcomes The Outsiders (Mark 7:31-37)

You Will Be Surprised By Who Is Not With You (Mark 6:1-6)

Jesus went to his home town and couldn’t do many miracles there. It appears that familiarity had bred contempt.

You Will Be Surprised By Who Is Welcomed: Women and Children (Mark 5:21-43)

What does it take to become so desperate that you are willing to lose your reputation to find healing?

You Will Be Surprised By Who Is Welcomed: Demoniacs (Mark 5:1-20)

Jesus disrupted the status quo but in doing so, brought freedom and change to someone who had been written off by everyone else.

How The World Changes (Mark 4:21-34)

Jesus was clear how the kingdom would take hold in the world. It wouldn’t be with a bang that could not be avoided – it would start small…
