27: Matters of the Heart

Merlin Miller continues the Gospel of Mark series with this 27th message, again titled Matters of the Heart and taken from Mark 7:14-23. Having addressed the root problem of authority, Jesus does not address where defilement and impurity come from. Like authority, this is a matter of the heart. Jesus continues reveal that God's kingdom is about an inside-out change rather than an outside-in one.

24: Strength to Serve

Merlin Miller returns to the Gospel of Mark series, with this 24th sermon titled Strength to Serve, taken from Mark 6:30-44. This is the first of 2 instances where Mark records a miraculous feeding of large crowd from just a few loaves and fish. Coming on the heels of the apostles' return from ministry and their desire to seek rest, this sermon looks at the call to serve that Jesus places on his followers and examines where our strength to serve comes from.

23: Who is Jesus?

Merlin Miller continues the Gospel of Mark series, with this 23rd sermon taken from Mark 6:14-29 and entitled Who is Jesus? Mark seems to interrupt his own story of the sending out of the apostles by recounting how the death of John the Baptist had come about. But from the text we see that everyone, all the way up to the "king", was asking the question "who is Jesus?"
