Mark 6:45-56This passage follows immediately on the heels of the last one. In that one I argued Jesus is talking about how we are being fed. In this sermon I show how this is the case when Jesus gets upset at the Disciples for misunderstanding the miracle of the loaves and fishes.

Mark 6:30-44In this great example of faith, authority, and compassion, Jesus feeds over 10,000 people with five loaves and two fish. Leftist preachers use this passage to promote social justice. Word of Faith preachers use this passage to promote the power of positive prayer. The true Christian sees that Jesus is talking about being fed by the him.
Mark 6:14-29John the Baptist, Jesus’ cousin and the herald of his ministry, is killed because of the vengeful desires of one woman. Mark takes the time to detail the events surrounding John’s death, so I, too, must take the time to unpack it.
Mark 6:7-13Jesus empowered and instructed his Disciples to teach in his name. In addition to that authority, he also commanded them to “take nothing for their journey except a staff — no bread, no bag, no money in their belts.” In this sermon I look at the challenging work of the church to rely solely and fully on Christ in her mission to call for repentance.
Mark 6:1-6Jesus continues his preaching tour, this time coming back to his hometown of Nazareth. It quickly becomes clear that early on in his ministry, Jesus’ family was skeptical of his claims. Thanks be to God the Spirit changed their hearts! In this sermon I look at how the person and message of Jesus Christ is life transforming for the repentant sinner and offensive to workers of lawlessness.
