Preacher: Jeremiah Fyffe

Scripture: Mark 9:38–50

  1. JESUS CORRECTS PRIDE IN MISSION
  2. JESUS WARNS AGAINST SIN AND TEMPTATION
  3. Mark 9:18b (ESV)

    So I asked your disciples to cast it out, and they were not able.

    Matthew 7:16 (ESV)

    You will recognize them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from thistles?

    Matthew 12:30 (ESV)

    Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters.

    Thomas Cranmer

    While the principle of Mk 9:40 should govern the attitude of the Church toward those without, the principle of Mt. 12:30 must be part of the Church’s preaching both to those without and to those within.

    R. T. France

    The cliquishness which too easily affects a defined group of people with a sense of mission is among the ‘worldly’ values which must be challenged in the name of the kingdom of God.

    R. C. Sproul

    In ancient Israel, during the reigns of Kings Ahaz and Manasseh in the southern kingdom of Judah, the people became involved in one of the worst of all pagan practices—the sacrifice of children to the pagan deity Molech. These sacrifices occurred in a deep ravine south of Jerusalem. That ravine came to be called Gehenna, an English transliteration of the Greek form of an Aramaic word. This practice of sacrificing children was roundly condemned by the prophet Jeremiah and was finally halted by King Josiah. To make sure it did not begin again, Josiah sought to desecrate the ravine where these sacrifices were made by turning it into the city garbage dump. The refuse from the city, including the carcasses of animals and even the corpses of criminals, was carted out on a regular basis and tossed into this massive garbage dump. To keep the dump from overflowing, the refuse there was burned, with the fires constantly fed by incoming garbage. Meanwhile, worms stayed busy devouring the carcasses of the animals and criminals that were dumped in Gehenna. … Eventually, Gehenna became a Jewish metaphor for the place of final punishment.
