Welcome

"So come lose your life for a carpenter's son
For a madman who died for a dream
And you'll have the faith His first followers had
And you'll feel the weight of the beam"--Michael Card

Mark 9:14-29 - Jesus Rebukes Unbelief

We come down from the mountain where we have seen the vision of Jesus in his glorified state and we are confronted with the evil, wreck, and ruin of a fallen world. Having seen rapture, Peter, James, and John are now confronted with present reality. There is a dispute with the scribes. There is a man with a demon-possessed son. There is failure. There is unbelief. And Jesus in this story confronts it all.

There are lessons to be learned here. The Father must be made to put his faith in Christ completely. The disciples must learn their need to depend upon Christ fully. You and I must be made to see our need for Jesus. This world must learn that Jesus is it's only hope.

And at the bottom of it all we get to the source of all human misery. We point it out, describe it, and demonstrate its nefarious effects. Then Jesus will rebuke it.



This sermon takes us from the bottom of the mountain and when it is done it leads us in the road to Jerusalem where Jesus is going to die. I hope you will click the link below and stream it or download it so that you can listen and be blessed by the clear exposition of God's word.
