Celebrating the birth of a displaced refugee peasant as God is both strange and marvelous.

Mark: Who Do You Serve?
Who do you serve? What is Greatness? These are important questions that Jesus answers in surprising ways in the book of Mark.
Mark 10:32-45
1 Corinthians 1:18-24
Luke 18:34
- Let us mark this well. There was nothing involuntary and unforeseen in our Lord's death. It was the result of his own free, determinate, and deliberate choice. From the beginning of His earthly ministry He saw the cross before Him, and went to it a willing sufferer. He knew that His death was the needful payment that must be made to reconcile God and man. That payment He had covenanted and engaged to make at the price of His own blood. And so when the appointed time came, like a faithful substitute, He kept His word, and died for our sins on Calvary.
- Let us ever bless God that the Gospel sets before us such a Savior, so faithful to the terms of the covenant--so ready to suffer--so willing to be reckoned sin and a curse in our stead. Let us not doubt that He who fulfilled his engagement to suffer, will also fulfill His engagement to save all who come to Him. Let us not only accept Him gladly as our Redeemer and Advocate, but gladly give ourselves, and all we have, to His service. Surely, if Jesus cheerfully died for us, it is a small thing to require Christians to live for Him. J.C. Ryle The Gospel of Mark

- Have you ever had to force yourself to do something like this?
- Why was the disciples' attitude so wrong?
- How can we be like them today?
- What is greatness in Jesus kingdom?
- What is one of the questions God will ask you on the Final Day?

Mark: Ashamed? Of What?
Jesus is calling His disciples to follow Him down an unpopular road. In this pivotal passage from Mark He gives them reasons to NOT be ashamed of Him and His gospel. Powerful reasons.
Sermon discussion questions for parents to use with their children:
- When do you feel the pressure to be ashamed of Christ or the gospel?
- What reasons does Jesus give to help us overcome this pressure?
- What if you have failed in this area in the past... is this a one and done?
- How did Paul try to encourage Timothy in all of this?

Mark: Stop Fearing, Only Believe
"Stop fearing, only believe"... those are Jesus' words to a man who just lost his only daughter. How do we do this... how does our faith in Jesus alter our emotional state? These are the questions explored in this sermon from the book of Mark.
Mark 5:21-43
John 11:21
1 Thessalonians 4:13-14
Psalm 68:5-6
Isaiah 46:4
Sermon discussion questions for parents to use with their children:
- Why was Jairus conflicted about going to see Jesus?
- What motivated him to go?
- How does this kind of thing happen still today for people?
- What does this passage teach about Jesus?
- Why did He want this miracle to be kept secret?
- How can we stop fearing and only believe?
