​Sunday Sermon by Kevin Jensen — When Jesus' disciples again did not understand his prophecy of his suffering and death, and when they demonstrated their failure to understand through a prideful attitude, Jesus taught them more about what it means to follow him. To be the first, one must become the last and the servant of all. Those who do not oppose us are for us, and we ought to welcome them, not stop them from doing their good work. And God deals very sternly with sin that causes others, or even ourselves, to stumble in faith. But humility like that which Jesus would show in his suffering and death brings peace with one another, just as his death brings us peace with God. Text: Mark 9:30-50
