Sermons on Mark

Sermon text: Mark 7:24-37; Mark 8:1-10 When Crumbs Become a Feast…Jesus crosses every boundary—ethnic, social, and spiritual—to reveal that God’s grace knows no limits. From a desperate Gentile mother pleading for a crumb, to a deaf man hearing the word “Be opened,” to a hungry crowd fed in the wilderness, each encounter expands the circle of divine compassion. What begins as exclusion becomes invitation; what looks like scarcity becomes abundance. The movement from crumbs to a feast points to the…

Sermon text: Mark 7:1-23 This message uncovers the illusion of external purity and the exhaustion of performing spirituality. Through Mark 7, we see Jesus dismantle the masks of religion and ideology, inviting us to drop the act and be transformed by His presence and mercy at the Cross.

Sermon text: Mark 6:45-56 “Learning to Minister from Presence, Not Pressure.” Even when Jesus lives in our hearts, He can still feel far away.

Sermon text: Mark 6:30-44 “Moving from Panic to Surrender.” Faith is not a straight climb upward but a spiraling journey where panic often gives way to surrender; and in every loop, Jesus meets us in our fear, multiplies our small offering, and renews us with His abundance.

Sermon text: Mark 6:1-29 Surrendering Our Mixed Responses into Mission–“The kingdom won’t let us stay neutral — unbelief rejects, fear resists, and faith obeys — and in the tension, Jesus carries us forward.”

Sermon text: Mark 5:1-20 “How Jesus turns hopeless cases into missional powerhouses.” Every disciple walks through four movements: death, conflict, transformation, and mission.

Sermon text: Mark 4:21-41 Life can feel discouraging when our efforts seem invisible, our progress slow, and storms threaten to sink us. But in Mark 4, Jesus shows us how to live in victory on His mission—not by hiding our faith or forcing results, but by shining His light, trusting His timing, starting small with faith, and facing opposition with courage. Discover how the same Jesus who lights the darkness, grows seeds into harvest, and calms raging storms is still…

Sermon text: Mark 4:1-20 How you hear shapes how you obey. In the Parable of the Soils, Jesus shows that the Great Commission takes root only in receptive hearts.

Sermon text: Mark 3:20-35 Standing Firm In a World That Pressures You to Change Back: Both Jesus’ family and the religious leaders feel threatened by His growing influence. Their response is to control the threat by mislabeling Him—either as mentally unstable or demonic. Jesus refuses to be defined by their labels. Instead, He redefines both His identity (as Spirit-empowered Savior) and the concept of family (as those who do God’s will). In doing so, He invites us into a new…

Sermon text: Mark 3:1-19 Jesus isn’t looking for spectators—He’s calling disciples. In the focal passage, we see a Savior who confronts critics, draws in the desperate, and then climbs a mountain to call out a core. While some in the crowd only watched to accuse and others came merely to receive, Jesus invites us to something far greater: to be with Him and to be sent by Him. Every Christian can move from passive observer to active disciple by answering…

Sermon text: Mark 2:18-28 You can follow the path of obligation or the path of devotion. But only devotion leads into the life-giving presence of Jesus, which fuels our passion for His mission. How do we make that shift? We reset our habits to enter His presence, reframe the system around His presence, and then rest and recharge in His presence. Header image by Kyle Smith on Unsplash.

Sermon text: Mark 2:13-17 Jesus doesn’t avoid the despicable—He calls, enjoys, and transforms them. And if we’re following Him, we’ll do the same. There’s a seat at the table for everyone—and like Levi, we learn to bring others there by following the way of Jesus. Header image by Goashape Studio on Unsplash.
