The chinchilla church of christ Sermons

We feel like we are surrounded by evil in this world. We want someone who will defeat the wickedness around us. That person is Jesus. In this wicked world, we can be led to believe and hope in human inventions, in earthly means, but they will always fail us. We need God, we need Jesus, and we need to remember that he is our greatest need in the midst of this evil world. No one has been able to overcome the world, to defeat evil except for him, Jesus.

Jesus said they will know my disciples by their love for one another. Yet so often the church is seen as judgemental, gossipy, and unwelcoming.

Passage: John 15:12-17

What is life and death? Did Jesus come to save us from the grave? Is the life he came to give us, just to live for eternity?

Peter, leader of the early church, but what happened for him to be ready for such a position. First he had to humbled and right before Jesus death that is exactly what happens.

Passage: Mark 13

The gospel seems to be viewed in so many different ways. Some hate it and some love it, unbelievers included. There are so many reactions, so will we ever truly know how people feel about it? Well God's word helps us to cut through much of it, to show us that without him all will see the gospel as foolish. But let us explore why people react the way they do, and whether or not we maybe need to change how we approach our unbelieving friends and family, as we continue our series through the gospel of Mark.

Jesus has begun his final journey to Jerusalem.  But he has one final lesson for his disciples. What is required to be a leader in the kingdom of God?
