Ashe Alliance Sermons

What does greatness really look like in God’s kingdom? In Mark 10:32–45, Jesus walks steadily toward the cross while His disciples chase status. His response flips everything: greatness is found in serving, not being served. This message calls us to follow a King who gave His life—and to live the same way.

What if the very things we rely on most are the greatest obstacles to knowing God? In this message from Mark 10, we see that salvation is not for those who bring the most, but for those who come empty-handed. Jesus calls us to lose what we cannot keep—and gain what we can never lose.

In Mark 10:13–22, Jesus welcomes children and rebukes His disciples, teaching that the kingdom belongs to those who come in humble dependence. He then confronts a rich young ruler who seeks eternal life through effort, exposing his misplaced trust in both his morality and his wealth. The contrast is clear: those who receive like children enter the kingdom, while those who rely on themselves walk away from it.

God’s Word was never meant to stop with us. In this message from 2 Timothy 2, we’re reminded that discipleship is not complete until it multiplies. Will you be the link that holds?

To accomplish the mission God gave us, we must understand the purpose of the church and our place in it—making and multiplying disciples in the power and presence of Christ.

In Mark 9, Jesus calls us to pursue unity with His people while taking radical, uncompromising action against sin.

In Mark 9 Jesus prepares His disciples for His coming death, they argue about who is the greatest. Their silence and pride reveal how easily the human heart drifts toward status over surrender. Jesus responds by turning their understanding upside down: true greatness is not found in being first, but in becoming last, serving others, and welcoming the least. In doing so, we reflect Christ Himself, who humbled Himself to the point of death on a cross.

Power isn’t found in the strength of your faith but in the object of your faith. A weak faith placed in a strong Savior is enough, because the power belongs to Him.

What do you do when the mountaintop moment fades? In Mark 9, Jesus reveals His glory to prepare His disciples for suffering. This sermon explores how seeing Christ clearly changes how we walk through confusion, hardship, and everyday life. Because the goal isn’t to stay on the mountain—it’s to trust Him in the valley.

Many want a victorious Savior without suffering, but Jesus makes it clear: His mission includes the cross, and so does ours.
