Sermons on “Mark”
The Cost of Discipleship
We live in a society that is becoming increasing intolerant to being offended. Yet, by its very nature, the gospel message is offensive in itself.
Where then, does this leave us then with the cost of following Jesus as a true disciple?
Restoration Power
This passage showcases Jesus’s restoration power as He not only heals a woman who has been bleeding for 12 years but also raises Jairus’ 12-year old daughter from the dead. We learn that it doesn’t matter what we are going through in our lives or whether or not we are hopeful – God has the power to restore us to Himself as long as we have faith.

Listen carefully.
Invasion!

Listen also what this means to us today.

The answers to these points become clear as we explore this passage.
