A storm off the Irish coast, a sinking ship, and a sailor praying for the first time in years, this is how the story of John Newton, author of ‘Amazing Grace’, begins, though what happened next looks nothing like the legend. That story leads into Jesus’ parables in the Gospel of Mark (Mark 4), the lamp, the seed growing by itself, and the mustard seed, about a Kingdom that starts small and grows by the power of God himself. The sermon asks whether God’s Word truly changes a person, and what a handful of believers can do in a world full of evil. Listen and discover how much depends on whether, and how, you listen.
A Kingdom with Humble Beginnings
Who Is Jesus?
Questions are like keys. They open doors, prompt us to seek answers, and lead to important discoveries. Some of these questions are more important than others, because so much depends on them. One of the most important questions is: Who is Jesus? Was He a fraud who deceived His disciples and then millions of people around the world? A madman suffering from delusions of grandeur? Or was He who He claimed to be? Who was He? In search of the answer to this question, we embark on a journey through the Gospel of Mark, because we know that so much depends on this answer.
