    True Follower Of Christ Series

    Contributed by Fred Sigle on May 17, 2024
     | 159 views

    This is a study of the gospel of Mark regarding the life of Jesus. It is based on my personal study and research of Scripture and many books and sermons I have read over the years.

    GOSPEL OF MARK: GOD’S SERVANT IN ACTION TRUE FOLLOWER OF CHRIST A. Last May I began a sermon series on the Gospel of Mark—studying the life of Jesus from His BAPTISM to his CRUCIFIXION and RESURRECTION, and ultimate ASCENSION into HEAVEN. 1. The verse in Mark’s gospel that summarizes ...read more

    Proper 17 (A) We are lost in sin and lost in ourselves. But Christ has redeemed the world. Therfore, those who lose their old selves shall find themselves in Christ, who is Life indeed.

    J. J. May the words of my mouth, and the meditations of our hearts, be acceptable in Thy sight, O Lord, our Rock and our Redeemer. Amen. “Keepers, Weepers, Losers, Finders” Jesus tells us that to be His disciples, we must deny ourselves, and take up our cross. Now, whatever ...read more

    How Do I Take Up My Cross?

    This sermon looks at both what it means, and also what it does not mean, for us to take up our cross for Jesus.

    Jesus said to his disciples and to the crowd following him, “If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me” (8:34). It’s hard for us to hear those words in the same way that those following Jesus heard it. The context is that Peter has just recognised that ...read more

    A sermon that seeks to keep the cross of the Savior fresh in our minds

    Take Me To The Cross TEXT: Mark 15:22-27 22 And they bring him unto the place Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, The place of a skull. 23 And they gave him to drink wine mingled with myrrh: but he received it not. 24 And when they had crucified him, they parted his garments, casting ...read more

    Take Up Your Cross Daily And Follow Christ

    “If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it” Mat. 16:24-25.

    Theme: Take up your cross daily and follow Christ Text: Jer. 20:7-9; Rom. 12:1-2; Mat. 16:21-27 An important question we all need to ask ourselves is how a person becomes a Christian and what is expected of Christians? Peter confessed Jesus to be the Son of God but did not behave as if he believed ...read more

    Elisha had proven himself faithful in being Elijah’s disciple. He was now ready for a new ministry, an expanded ministry, an anointed ministry.

    2 KINGS 2: 8-14 TAKING UP THE MANTLE [2 Kings 2:1-7] Elijah has been called the grandest character that Israel ever produced. [Robert Young, Analytical Concordance to the Bible, New York: Funk and Wagnalls, 1936, p 295.] But like all of us he needed a friend. Elisha had been Elijah’s servant, ...read more

    8th Grade Graduation 2008 Pastor Jeff Williams Recently, I’v enjoyed telling this joke, or variations of it, to Mr. Marley’s class: Two penguins are sitting in a bath tub.

    Advent 2, 2020 We are challenged by Mark's gospel to take up the mantle of Isaiah - just like John the Baptist

    Taking up the Mantle Mark 1:1-8 Matthew has a Christmas story in which Joseph is prominent. Luke has a Christmas story. Even John has a Christmas story from a cosmic perspective where the Word became flesh. But is there a Christmas story in Mark? Let us see. From first appearances, it kinda ...read more

    As Moses lifted up the healing serpent, so the Jews lifted up Christ, the healer, on the cross, so that we might take him and be transformed.

    April 4, 2006 Tuesday of 5th week in Lent If we read John’s Gospel from start to finish, one of the impressions we get over and over again is that Jesus was surrounded by idiots and incompetents. It seems like every page turn brings the words “they did not understand.” But there is nothing new ...read more

    In order for each of us to move toward becoming the person God created us to be and fulfill the purpose He created us to fulfill, we must pull some stakes and refuse to let limitations define us.

    Taking Up Stakes Living without limits for God’s glory ILL- Elephant Intro I tried to look brave, but inside, I was shaking in my sneakers as we stood within five feet of a six-ton elephant tethered outside the circus tent. I had seen elephants at the zoo before, behind iron bars, but this was ...read more

    LIVING ABOVE THE FRAY Part 3: Taking Up The Sword Over the past month we have looked at how we can live exceptional lives. Together we saw that exceptional living doesn’t happen by accident.

    We live in a day where God is doing great and miraculous things. He is taking us places, as believers, that we might have thought we would never go. Just like Ezekiel the Holy Spirit is taking us up.

    Taking Me Up Ezekiel 3:12-15 12 Then the spirit took me up, and I heard behind me a voice of a great rushing, saying, Blessed be the glory of the LORD from his place. 13 I heard also the noise of the wings of the living creatures that touched one another, and the noise of the wheels over against ...read more

    What does "take up your cross" mean and what does it not mean? (Material from: http://www.firstbaptistbuda.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/FBC-Buda-Bible-Study-3.7.12.Cross-Bearing.Dangerous-Followship-3.pdf; and Bob Tinsky's book, A Christian Is)

    HoHum: Sing these verses: Must Jesus bear the cross alone, and all the world go free? No, there’s a cross for everyone, and there’s a cross for me. The consecrated cross I’ll bear, Till death shall set me free, And then go home my crown to wear, for there’s a crown for ...read more

    In this final message of the OVERCOME series we will talk about what is perhaps the biggest and most unrelenting obstacle that we will have to overcome in life... ourselves

    Getting Over Yourself One day Jesus left the crowds to pray alone. AND BTW MGCC - that is a really good thing to do at times. To leave the noise and the crowd (yeah, they’ll be fine without you) and to get alone with God. IN FACT – for some in this room that is exactly what you need to do this ...read more
