Meet the King in Mark’s Gospel
January-April ’23 & Autumn ’20
14) Meet the King: Fully Trusting in Jesus’ Power (Mark 9:14-29)
Join Garry as he explores the story of Jesus healing the demon-possessed boy - and reflects on coming to Jesus just as we are, fully trusting in him, not in our own strength.
13) Meet the King: Listen to Jesus about Suffering and the Cross (Mark 9:2-13)
Join us this week as we consider the amazing transfiguration of the Lord Jesus from Mark 9:2-13
12) Meet the King: Cross-Centred Followers of Jesus (Mark 8:34-9:1)
What’s it like to follow Jesus? Join Phil as he explores Jesus’ call to ‘take up our cross and follow Him’ in Mark 8:34-9:1 - we’ll see that it’s tough to follow Jesus, but it’s also magnificent to follow Him!
11) Meet the King: Who Do You Say That Jesus Is? (Mark 8:22-33)
All through Mark's Gospel, the big question has been ‘Who is Jesus?’ - and in this week’s passage, things come to a head, as Peter answers that question, “You are the Messiah”. But what kind of Messiah is Jesus?
10) Meet the King: Watch Out for Hard Hearts (Mark 8:14-21)
We continue our series in Mark’s Gospel as Phil considers Jesus’ warning about the ‘yeast of the Pharisees and of Herod’. Is Jesus talking about bread or something else? Listen in as Phil unpacks Jesus’ warning and shows how it applies to our current context.
9) Meet the King: Jesus the Redeemer of the World (Mark 7:31-8:13)
Continuing our series in Mark’s Gospel, Phil looks at two stories that show that Jesus has come to save all kinds of people - to bring sight to those who are spiritually blind and bread to those who are spiritually hungry. There’s no-one ‘too bad’ or too hopeless to be saved by Jesus.
8) Meet the King: A Gentile Woman Shows Great Faith (Mark 7:24-30)
Join James as he explore the story of Jesus’ meeting with a Gentile woman in Mark 7:24-30. This story raises questions for us - why does Jesus respond to her in the way he does? How should we react when we come across parts of the Bible we find hard to understand?
7) Meet the King: Our Unclean Hearts (Mark 7:14-23)
‘The heart of the human problem is the problem of the human heart’ - is the focus of today’s passage. Join us as Phil unpacks some hard sayings of Jesus - but also reminds us that Jesus didn’t come for those who think they’re good enough, but for those who know they need help.
6) Meet the King: Idolatrous Tradition (Mark 7:1-13)
After a gap of a few years, we’re resuming our sermon series in Mark’s Gospel, called ‘Meet the King’. This week, Phil looks at how people can elevate human traditions above God’s word, and how this applies in our current church context.
5) Jesus truly is the promised redeemer, Mark 6:30-44
Come and learn why the miracle of feeding the 5,000 is recorded in all 4 gospel accounts – it has so much to teach us!
4) Preaching repentance brings death and life, Mark 6:14-29
The gruesome story of Herod and John the Baptist teaches us the cost of being a follower of Jesus.
3) The sin of unbelief, Mark 6:1-6a
Hear about the dreadful consequences of unbelief and lack of faith.
2) Faith in Jesus brings new life, Mark 5:21-43
We continue to meet the King in Mark’s gospel and discover how Faith in Jesus brings new life.
1) Will you trust Satan’s Conqueror, Mark 5:1-20
Phil Selby begins the sermon series with a challenge to meet and trust the King of kings.
