Sermons on Mark

Will God work for Me?

We easily get confused on what we want and need. Jesus performed many miracles including healing a crippled man and enabling him to walk. However, the more important miracle was forgiving that man’s sins and opening heaven’s door for him to walk in. In this sermon we will learn how to pursue the greater work of God and pursue His promises. Sermon Text: Mark 2:1-12 Preacher: Pastor Bill Limmer

Ash Wednesday

Ash Wednesday is the day that begins the season of Lent, a time of repentance and reflection. When we take time to worship on this day, we realize our sin and our deep need for a Savior. Sermon Text: Mark 10:17-31

Love…Sees It Through

Love is hard. There are so many times when we’re just weary. We give and give and give and never seem to get anything back. Jesus displayed so much love through his life and ministry. He had every right to expect a little something back. But human love is always tainted by selfish motivations. Still that’s the thing about God’s love. It’s committed. It does what it needs to do. Love sees it through. Mark 11:1-10, John 19:28-30

Love…Takes Up the Cross

When we think that love means happiness and roses and nothing more, we’re in for serious disappointment. Sometimes love means sacrifice and suffering. Sometimes loves means taking up a cross can carrying it to its finish. Mark 8:31-38; John 19:28-29

Love…Fights

Forty days in the wilderness without food. Nailed to a cross and left to die. Does God really love me? Does God really care? Or am I truly in this all alone? Yes, the temptation is often there to give up on a relationship when we don’t feel the love. Love, however, refuses to throw in the towel, love does not give up. Love fights to hold on to what it knows and believes!  Mark 1:12-15; Mark 15:34

Generous Heart

We sometimes think that we can’t be “generous” because generosity inherently means giving away lots of something and we don’t necessarily have “a lot” of anything. But generosity, as we’ve learned is a matter of the heart and is measured in sacrifice.

It’s Who You Know

Luther saw the world becoming more and more evil. The end is closer now: have confidence know the One who can bring us safely through these end times.

Personal Touch

Suffering affords the opportunity to personally experience God’s loving touch. Sermon Text: Mark 7:31-37

The Followers

Think of the cheers of Palm Sunday: “Hosanna to the Son of David!” Then think of the jeers five days later: “Crucify him!” We may shake our heads. Yet, how easily we can get dragged along with the wrong crowd!
