This sermon dives into Mark's fast-paced account of Jesus' ministry, highlighting the urgency of His mission: to die for our sins (Mark 9:30-32). The disciples, still focused on an earthly kingdom and their own status, struggle to grasp this. We learn that true greatness isn't found in worldly pride and ambition (Mark 9:33-37), but in heaven-minded humility, serving others like children. Finally, the sermon addresses how pride leads to division, as seen in the disciples trying to stop someone ministering in Jesus' name (Mark 9:38-41). True unity in God's mission comes through humility and recognizing that those not against us are for us. The call is clear: shift our focus from earthly pursuits to a life of humble service with an eternal perspective. #Mark #irwinton #activefaith
