Sermons in Mark

 

Brand New Day

by Joe Boot

April 21, 2019 | Mark 16

Christ's resurrection at Easter is the pivot upon which everything in the Christian faiths turns. We either reject the resurrection of Christ and remain blind to the truth or we believe and trust in Christ and are released from the power of sin and death.

 

Word of the Risen King

by Joe Boot

April 16, 2017 | Mark 16:1-20

God's Word upholds everything moment by moment. The total coherence and dependence of the creation refers us back to the Creator God.

 

Tried and Torn

by Joe Boot

April 9, 2017 | Mark 15:16-47

Christ's enemies at his crucifixion behaved just as the enemies of the Gospel do today. And so, for today's Church, the crucifixion exemplifies God's love and the world's hostility.

 

Christ on Trial

by David Robinson

April 2, 2017 | Mark 14:52-15:15

For the sake of the gospel we must be prepared to repent of our sins, deny ourselves, and lose our lives.

 

The Garden of Gethsemane

by Joe Boot

March 26, 2017 | Mark 14:27-51

Unlike Adam who failed at his calling and hid from God, Christ struggles through prayer and serves as the obedient Son to restore all creation back to God.

 

At the Lord’s Table

by David Robinson

March 19, 2017 | Mark 14:1-26

Christians are called to work for the kingdom and to pursue a life of watching in contemplation and prayer.

 

The Olivet Discourse

by Joe Boot

March 12, 2017 | Mark 13:1-37

In answering the disciples' question about the destruction of the temple, Jesus foretells signs of an imminent temporal event which will take place in the lifetime of his audience. Instead of end times speculation, the church needs to be busy with gospel proclamation and mission.

 

The Power of Love

by David Robinson

March 5, 2017 | Mark 12:18-44

Knowing the text of Scripture is not the same as knowing the powerful Word of God. Knowing the love of God personally gives us a heart that will love God whole-heartedly as well as our neighbour.

 

The Stone the Builders Rejected

by Joe Boot

February 26, 2017 | Mark 12:1-17

We have received a kingdom and an inheritance, but woe to us if we now take offence at God's Word. The Lord will crush those who deny Him the fruit of His vineyard.

Jesus and the Temple

by Joe Boot

February 19, 2017 | Mark 11:1-33

The temple simultaneously represents our own hearts, the church of Christ, and the whole earth. Jesus will cleanse and restore everything.

 

Inheriting Eternal Life

by David Robinson

February 5, 2017 | Mark 10:13-31

Wealth makes a claim on your life; if your whole identity is tied to your wealth, you cannot give it up to become a disciple of Jesus.

 

A Question about Divorce

by Joe Boot

January 29, 2017 | Mark 10:1-12

Marriage is rooted in God's creation norms; in a world tainted by sin Jesus calls us to be faithful in marriage, persevering through challenges.
