Rejection – Grace Presbyterian Church (OPC)

The Rejection of the World (Mark 6.14-29)

Speaker: Derrick Leitão
Series: Mark
Sermon Info:
We come to the story of the beheading of John the Baptist. What was the reason for his beheading and how do we see this same hatred and bitterness in the world against the church? This was a precursor of the type of persecution the church would later face and is still facing today. And we don’t want to ignore the same signs of sin running its course in our lives as well.

The Response to Rejection (Mark 6.7-13)

Speaker: Derrick Leitão
Series: Mark
Sermon Info:
In her mission, how does the church tend to respond to rejection? As Christians, we tend to let it fester and we eventually become embittered. How does Jesus teach us to approach our mission of spreading the gospel? And what does he call each individual to do?

Rejection At Home (Mark 6.1-6)

Speaker: Derrick Leitão
Series: Mark
Sermon Info:
Familiarity breeds contempt. Some may be so familiar with Jesus that they pride themselves in thinking they know all there is to know about him. This group of people from his hometown didn’t know him as they thought.
