Sermons on Dependence
“Jesus’ Authority Was Rejected” Mark 11:27-12:12
Theme: Jesus has authority, our sin is responsible for His death, and the fear of man is a roadblock to Christ.
Aim: Submit to the authority of Jesus, see how your sinful heart is deceived to love sin, see how your fear and dishonesty with God can stand in the way of your relationship with God through Christ.
(1) Do You Reject Authority? (Mark 11:27-33)
(2) Would You Kill Jesus? (Mark 12:1-11)
(3) What Are You Afraid Of? (Mark 12:1)
“Who Stands Between You and God?” Mark 10:1-31
Theme: Jesus defines marriage, receives children, and invites us to lose everything to follow Him.
Aim: Be humbled in light of Jesus’ teaching about marriage, that He would make us more like children in our dependence upon Him, and be helped by Him to lose all things in order to follow Christ.

(2) Self & Children (Mark 10:13-16)
