Blind Bartimaeus: Shadows, Shouting, and Sight (Mark 10:46-52 Sermon)
In this sermon on Mark 10:46-52, we explore Blind Bartimaeus, who boldly calls out to Jesus for mercy, defying the crowd’s attempts to silence him. His persistent faith leads to healing and a transformative relationship with Christ. This powerful story challenges us to have the courage to call out and the faith to follow Jesus.

The Rich Young Ruler Asks About Eternal Life (Mark 10:17-31 Sermon)
In this sermon from Mark 10:17-31, the rich young ruler asks about eternal life. Explore the quest for eternal life, the challenge of letting go of possessions, and how Jesus invites us into a deeper relationship through faith.
Following Jesus in a Power-Hungry World: Mark 9:30-37 Sermon
We discover what Mark 9:30-37 means when we see that Jesus teaches about true greatness: it isn’t about status or power but about selfless service. Whether you’re leading a team, teaching a class, or simply seeking to make a difference, Jesus offers inspiring insights into what it means to lead with a servant’s heart.
Pushing Buttons and Boundaries: Jesus and the Syrophoenician Woman (Mark 7:24-30 Sermon)
In this sermon from Mark 7:24-30 Jesus is moved to act because of the faith of the Syrophoenician woman, sometimes called the Canaanite woman. This passage is astounding. She asks for crumbs from the table and Jesus heals her daughter. This passage is situated between Mark 6 and the feeding of the 5,000 and Mark 8 and the feeding of the 4000 Gentiles, so the theme of eating bread with the Messiah is a major theme.
Daughters Restored (Mark 5:21-43 Sermon)
In Mark 5:21-43, we witness profound acts of restoration: Jairus' daughter and a woman healed. It's more than a story; it's a feast of God's grace and restoration. This passage is also 1 of 5 Markan Sandwiches, which is a storytelling technique akin to framing, whereby one story is interrupted and interpreted by another.
The Parable of the Sower Sermon: Mark 4
In Mark 4 Jesus tells the parable of the sower, which is about how the kingdom of God surprisingly grows without human help and it grows in surprising places, thus inviting us to trust God and cast the seed widely.
