True Devotion (Mark 12.38-44)

Speaker: Derrick Leitão
Series: Mark
Sermon Info:
How we measure devotion may not be the way God measures devotion. Here Jesus distinguishes between false devotion and true devotion.

The Identity of the Son (Mark 12.35-37)

Speaker: Derrick Leitão
Series: Mark
Sermon Info:
What will we do with this … “How can the scribes say that the Christ is the son of David? David himself, in the Holy Spirit, declared, “‘The Lord said to my Lord,”Sit at my right hand, until I put your enemies under your feet.”‘ David himself calls him Lord. So how is he his son?”

The Most Important Commandment (Mark 12.28-34)

Speaker: Derrick Leitão
Series: Mark
Sermon Info:
For those surrounded by legalistic commands and blatant immorality, a question may come to mind, what is the most important commandment? And who is Jesus in relation to that commandment?

God of the Living (Mark 12.18-27)

Speaker: Derrick Leitão
Series: Mark
Sermon Info:
There are key doctrines of the Christian faith that must be believed in order to claim to be true believers. One of these doctrines is the doctrine of the resurrection of the dead at the end of time when Christ returns. Jesus makes that clear to those who were questioning him.

Godly Distinctions (Mark 12.13-17)

Speaker: Derrick Leitão
Series: Mark
Sermon Info:
A common question is, how are Christians to deal with corruption in high places of government? There are many ways you can answer that question. As Christians, we are to remember that we have a dual citizenship (Acts 22:22-29; Phil. 3.20) and a responsibility to both. Now, Jesus’ enemies tried to trap him in this sort of question and he responds to his interlocutors in this same manner to expose their hypocrisy and how they had forgotten their most important duty. God is King of all kings and he is the priority.
