The Unforgivable Sin (Mark 3:19b-35)
We come now to what St. Augustine considered to be the most challenging interpretive question in all of Scripture—What is the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit?
The Twelve (Mark 3:7-19)
Just as God gathered the twelve tribes around Sinai and later around the tabernacle, so Jesus gathers twelve men around Himself
Lord of the Sabbath (Mark 2:18-3:6)
The great irony and hypocrisy of the Pharisees is that they go to church to dig up dirt on God. They charge God with breaking the sabbath.
Baptismal Homily (Azalea & Cash Gustafson)
Under the New Covenant holiness now spreads from parents to children.
The Physician (Mark 2:1-17)
The forgiveness of sins is a greater miracle than healing the paralytic.
All Men Seek For Thee (Mark 1:35-45)
Mark is playing with this idea of what it means to seek someone. You could seek them like Saul seeks for David (to kill him), or you could seek them like Jesus seeks for God (because He loves Him)
The Foolishness of God (Good Friday 2023)
Let us consider five effects of Christ's Passion from 1 Corinthians 1:30.
Baptismal Homily (Anne Sparrow Hall & Hazel Graice Rhode)
In the Christian church, baptism is a sign and seal of God’s New Covenant promises.
The Exorcist (Mark 1:21-34)
America may be demon possessed, but Jesus is an able exorcist. Our nation may be lying sick with burning fever, but Jesus can raise her to life, and make her serve Him again.
Fishers Of Men (Mark 1:14-20)
When Jesus calls people to follow Him, He often does so at very inconvenient times.
