Preaching Demons

Mark 1, 3, and 5 - 30.05.2010

Preaching Demons

From the series: "Who is This?" - Irony in the Gospel of Mark

Jesus said to the storm "Peace. Be still."

And the chaos calms, the wind dies down, and the waves subside.

And the disciples look at each other and say "Who is this?" "Who is this man, that even the wind and the waves obey him?"

"Who is this?"

This is the question that runs through the book of Mark, and the answer lies in the most unexpected places.

"What is that to you?"

"What is that to you?"

I was invited to Hope Fellowship Church in the Oshawa area, and asked to speak about gossip from Proverbs. It seemed to connect well with an older teaching I did called "What is that to you?" that never got recorded, so I decided to tie it all together.

Sometimes when we gossip we think we are talking about them, but really we are talking about ourselves.

Everyone has a story. Every story has it's own "good-news," it's own Gospel. What happens when the story of Jesus collides with all these other gospels?

What you can't hear:

In this sermon you can't hear the stain of the empire! A little back story? In the live sermon I mentioned a few brands by name, intending to tear them down and reveal some of their agendas. It was all well and good until a wise friend of mine pointed out (after the service) that I had actually just given them advertising that money can't buy! This made me really frustrated (they played me like a fool!), and so I vowed to not let it exist online forever, but to censor out all the branding.

So this is the clean version... you can let your children listen to it without fear of them becoming corrupted by evil companies!
