Speaker: Derrick Leitão
Series: Mark
Sermon Info:
What does it mean to have salt in ourselves? Or that Christians will be salted with fire? It is often thought that the Christian life is any easy going life but in fact it is often riddled with difficulty and conflict. But these conflicts have a purpose and a goal and it is to refine and make us pure, so that we would become a community of peace.

The Way of the Kingdom Part III: Cutting Limbs (Mark 9.42-48)
Speaker: Derrick Leitão
Series: Mark
Sermon Info:
The watered-down Jesus of our culture has changed the message of discipleship and what disciples are responsible to do in light of their new identity. Jesus reminds us of the seriousness of sin, what we are to do in light of our sin, and the consequences of sin.
The Way of the Kingdom Part II: Zeal for Christ (Mark 9.38-41)
Speaker: Derrick Leitão
Series: Mark
Sermon Info:
Christian zeal may be misplaced or misguided. This is a great lesson in which Christ redirects the disciples’ zeal back toward himself and his Kingdom.
The Way of the Kingdom Part I: Servanthood (Mark 9.30-37)
Speaker: Derrick Leitão
Series: Mark
Sermon Info:
Pride blinds us from knowing Christ and knowing his will. It disturbs brotherly love, so that we serve ourselves rather than being a servant of all. Consider the words of Jesus Christ our Lord, who was the greatest servant of all time. In our day, we need a good dose of humility.
Unbelieving Belief (Mark 9.14-29)
Speaker: Derrick Leitão
Series: Mark
Sermon Info:
Possessing faith is not as easy as it is often taught. We live in a dark world where there is a constant battle for control. The disciple must know and believe that the Lord is in control and the only help in our time of trouble.
