In today's passage, Peter finally gets what 8 chapters of Mark have been building towards the recognition of Jesus as the Christ. However, the same issue that we have been looking at this entire series remains. Peter's definition of Messiah is still very different than Jesus'. This passage represents a pivot point in the gospel, so we this is the f…

Mark ch 8, parallels much of the material from the 1st half of Mark Ch 6 & 7. Using the story so far we look at the specific point Jesus was making with feeding the 4000, as well as how aggressive the debates with the Pharisees and scribes were becoming.Rev. Paul Leonard

We look at the story of Jesus feeding the 5000. In Mark's Gospel Jesus uses this miracle to establish a very poignant connection between him and Moses and Isaiah's/ Ezekiel's prophecies. *Note: this is a re-upload after an error the first timeRev. Paul Leonard

John was the prophet who prepared the way of the Lord, and that in today's story means he quite literally faced his own death. This sermon explores what it means that the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of the Prophets and how we all in some ways play the same roll as John the Baptist did.Rev. Paul Leonard

Today's sermon explores two different miracles of Jesus that the Gospel of Mark wraps together. We explore why Jesus' healing of the woman with the 12 year hemorrhage and the raising of the synagogue leader's daughter are wrapped together in Mark.Rev. Paul Leonard

We look at what is a very long story of a demon being cast out in the Gospel of Mark. Mark takes a long time to develop the details, and we look at what some of those details mean; also focus on Jesus' transformative deliverance.Rev. Paul Leonard

We often hear the words "Jesus, Son of God" and just assume we know what they mean. In fact, a great many people think they are sure themselves but wouldn't agree with others. So as we begin to read the Gospel of Mark we get to first things first... letting Mark define his gospel.Rev. Paul Leonard

Many people focus on the sayings of Jesus, but according to Mark Jesus had a very distinct message that he preached. Jesus preached that the kingdom had come. That set him apart from John the Baptist who said it was coming, and others who said it was a place. Jesus preached the Kingdom had come because HE was the kingdom.…

Jesus now shifts his ministry to building up the kingdom by calling the first disciples. This brings conflict with evil as a Demon confronts him. But Jesus shows his authority by casting it out and amazing the crowd.Rev. Paul Leonard

Jesus has now built a reputation; people are coming to him only because of his reputation and not his message. Eager to preach the kingdom, Jesus makes a choice to heal a man even though it would hindering his preachingRev. Paul Leonard

Today we look at the popular story where Jesus heals the man lowered through the roof. Jesus when challenged asked his opponents if it is easier to say God forgives sins, or to tell someone to be healed. In today's times, we often say the first a lot! And hardly anyone claims the later. And that is what Jesus is getting at.…

In Mark Ch2, Jesus gets in 5 conflicts with the Pharisees as he is ministering in Galilee. In calling Levi and eating with sinners Jesus also should be challenging us! The action is more radical than we assume if we really dig into the text.Rev. Paul Leonard

Jesus makes a bold claim in todays text, then he goes even further by making the bold action of healing on the Sabbath. In the 5 conflicts of Mark Ch 2 this action becomes the last straw for Jesus' opponentsRev. Paul Leonard

There's an aspect of faith that has to be public. And we are often quite concerned about our own public reputation. And while sometimes people think religion is all about God being ashamed of us... quite often it's actually the other way around. Have you ever been ashamed of your faith? In today's message we get at the fact that people didn't like …

In this scriptural exposition of 2 Corinthians, Rev. Paul approaches the wide theme of church conflict found throughout both letters of 1st and 2nd Corinthians. With 80% of US churches in some stage of plateau or decline, its sadly very likely many Christians are all to familiar with such things. But the issue isn't impossible, and the solution isn…

I apologize, but due to repainting the sanctuary, my mind was off and I failed to record parts 2 and 3. Today's message is, "What?" is the church? and the answer is its the body of Christ. That should not just unite us, but we can't be the body of Christ if we are notRev. Paul Leonard
