You can sit in the same room with the people closest to you and still be left alone with what is hardest, is God really with you when you suffer? This sermon walks us through the ninth chapter of Mark’s Gospel (Mark 9): from the mount of transfiguration, where faith takes no effort, through the valley where a desperate father cries out ‘I believe, help my unbelief’, to Jesus’ words about the cross. In it, Mark answers three questions: does God exist, is He with me in my suffering, and does He even know what I am going through? Listen if your experiences are slipping out of control, for though they are yours alone, you are not alone in them.
Am I Alone?
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.
