The Coming of the King (Page 4)

New series on the Gospel of Mark called: The Coming of the King.

The Gospel of Mark unfolds the dynamic story of Jesus Christ, who arrived to establish God’s kingdom on earth, and our sermon series, “The Coming of the King,” brings this narrative to life with fresh insight. Through verse-by-verse exposition, each message reveals how Christ’s early ministry—his teachings, miracles, and interactions—discloses God’s purpose for His people to live as holy ambassadors of a heavenly kingdom. This series illuminates how Christians, as citizens of God’s eternal reign, are called to embody a life set apart, reflecting the transformative power of Christ’s death, resurrection, and ascension in a world longing for hope and redemption.

Feasting or Fasting?

If the Kingdom of God is here now, what mood are we supposed to be in, festive or fasting? Is Christ removed for us now? So fasting does have a role now. But even for those of us that live apart from Christ physically, we see that a new age has dawned. The Day of Salvation has been granted by faith. While fasting has it’s place, it is not the tenor and tone of the Christian life.

A Dining Place for Sinners

We’re confronted, as we open this passage, with questions–questions about the Kingdom. Who gets into the Kingdom? What are the qualifications for getting into this Kingdom?

Are we willing to be self-reflective enough to realize that, at the end of the day, we have nothing to offer God of our own righteousness?

Only then do you have any chance of joining the Kingdom of God.

What is Most Needful?

What is most needful in life? If someone were to ask you that, how would you answer? In this passage, we see a man lying before Jesus paralyzed, and Jesus’ comment takes everyone by surprise: “Your sins are forgiven you.” It seems insensitive that this man is dealing with obvious physical need, and yet, Christ is bringing up the forgiveness of sins instead. By placing this in the text, Christ–through Mark– is making us reckon with some big questions. Not only does this cause cognitive dissonance, it makes a bold statement about who Christ is and the coming of the Kingdom. Christ is trying to show us something. The question is: “Will you see it?”
