Alive in a Broken World
Alive in a Broken World: This sermon is part of The Gospel According to Mark series. John the Baptist’s beheading by Herod Antipas and his wife, Herodias, reveals the brokenness of the world.

A Prophet Without Honor
A Prophet Without Honor: This sermon is part of The Gospel According to Mark series. What does it mean to be human? A human being is a man or woman made in the image and likeness of God. The image and likeness of God gives intrinsic value to every single human being, regardless of age, race, faith, contributions to society, etc. At the Fall, part of humanity was distorted and lost in sin. So Jesus Christ, though he was God, came into the world as a man (fully God and fully man) to redeem and restore humanity. However, when Jesus comes to his […]
