The gospel of the kingdom does not permit people to be indifferent to what they hear. Jesus does not allow that prerogative. When people hear the truth of the gospel, they must make a choice - to accept or to reject Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. For those who accept Jesus by faith, he is Savior; for those who reject him, he is a stumbling stone.

This message is a continuation of the sermon, "The Authority of Christ." Jesus has all power and authority in heaven and in earth. We can trust and rest in the authority of Christ. He has everything under control.

Christ has all authority in heaven and earth. Being followers of Christ, God has given authority to the church by his Word and Spirit. In this sermon, we begin to look at Christ's authority.

This message calls us to place our faith in Jesus Christ. In life, we are faced by challenges that put our faith to the test. Christ is trustworthy; he will not fail. No matter what we go through in this life, we can safely trust in the Lord because he is faithful. We will overcome and accomplish great things through faith in God.

This sermon is part two of "His Church Can Do No Less," a sermon from the Gospel of Mark series.

This sermon is a continuation of the Mark Series.

This week's sermon, "Get into the Procession," looks at Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem. He came to fulfill his Father's will and purpose. The crowds celebrated him as the anointed One. For some, Jesus was the healer, for others the deliverer, and even others the prophet of God. The crowds had such great expectations. But the people did not realize he came to give his life. Healer, deliverer, and prophet -- Jesus is indeed all of these, and so much more -- Jesus is the Son of God, the lamb of God, our Lord and Savior. He's coming again, and he's worthy of celebration: let's get into the procession.

As followers of Christ, we all have a part to play in fulfilling the plan of God in the world. All of us are unique -- different -- yet all of us serve the same Christ in our unique roles. None of us are more important than others. Christ values us for who we are in him according to his unique purpose in our lives. He desires to use each one of us, and get glory out of our lives.

Jesus Christ came to radically change the course of our lives. When we receive him as Lord and Saviour, we then follow him in a new path - in a whole new way of life. Jesus demonstrated through his life, his teachings, and his works the pattern we should follow. Follow his way.

God hears our cry, and he knows our heart. In "A Beggar's Faith," we look at the transforming power of faith in Jesus Christ.
