The chinchilla church of christ Sermons

Divorce and money always make for complex, messy families. Few of us have been untouched by the effects of these two things. We have to ask ourselves, does Jesus call us to a certain way of living with these things? Let’s delve into and explore it together as we go through Mark 10:1-31 Passage: Mark 10:1-31 Date: 9 March 2025

Mark 9:30-32 Jesus focuses on His death and resurrection. It was not understood. Mark 9:33-37 Humble service. Regarding one another as more important than yourself. Mark 9:38-41 The young in faith. Don't make them stumble. Mark 9:42-48 Taking sin seriously because of Hell. Mark 9:49-50 Having salt in yourselves. Are you saved? Passage: Mark 9:30-50 Date: 2 March 2025  

Don't all of us want glory? We all want to be admired, and appreciated? But Jesus is going to show us that the way we go about seeking glory is often wrong, and that rather by seeking him and his righteousness, not the admiration of others. We will find glory and true recognition from God. Passage: Mark 9:1-29 Date: 23 Feb 2025

The cross is the token symbol of Christianity. A symbol that once meant excruciating suffering now means salvation. The cross is our salvation, but it is also the example Jesus set for us, as the way into the kingdom of God. So follow along as we learn what it means to deny ourselves, take up our cross, and follow Jesus. Passage: Mark 8 Date: 9 February 2025

Can we change ourselves from the outside in? Jesus is going to show us how we are helpless to change ourselves. He wants us to see ourselves as we truly are, so that we will see our true need for salvation. So come and explore Mark 7 with us, as Jesus exposes the true state of our hearts. Passage: Mark 7 Date: 2 February 2025

We live in a world that is endlessly tiring, we feel overwhelmed with burden and unable to find rest. Jesus understand this and in Mark 6:30-56 he wants to show us how in him we can have rest despite all our circumstances. Date: 26 January 2025 Passage: Mark 6:30-56

Passage: Mark 6:1-29 Date: 19 January 2025

What does it mean that God is sovereign? Does it mean he is in control of all things? Is it a good thing for God to control all things? These are some of the questions we will be exploring in Mark 4:34-5:43. Passage: Mark 4:35-5:40 Date: 12 January 2025

What do we need for salvation? What is the necessary requirement for all those who wish to be a part of God’s kingdom? The Holy Spirit. In ‘the parable of the growing seed’ and ‘the parable of the mustard seed’, Jesus reveals how in all things regarding the Christian life, we are completely helpless without the power of the Holy Spirit. And he shows us that by embracing our helplessness we can fin...

Jesus calls us to bear fruit. To live as Christians in this broken and sinful world. But dangers lurk around every corner, and we must be vigilant, always watching for those things we endanger the fruitfulness of our lives. Jesus in the parable of the sower wants to reveal these dangers to us and reveal our deep need for him to save us from them. Passage: Mark 4:1-26 Date: 29 December 2024

Why did Jesus come to make a new family? The Bible is riddled with terms such as “children of God”, “Adoption”, all these familial terms. But what does it mean to be a part of the family of God? Who is a part of this family? Are you born into it? In Mark 3:18-35, Jesus will answer our questions, showing us the importance of this new family, and how we become a part of it. Passage: Mark 3:18-35 Dat...

In Mark 1:40-2:17, we will look at Jesus’ and his interaction with the Pharisees over the sabbath and what is acceptable to do or not do. The age old question how does the Sabbath apply to day? Passage: Mark 2:18-3:12 Date: 15 December 2024    

In Mark 1:40-2:17, we will look at Jesus’ teaching on our greatest need: forgiveness for our sins committed against God. Including how he sees us in our sin, and what happens when we don’t see our sin and need for forgiveness clearly.  Passage: Mark 1:40-2:17 Date: 15 December 2024  

In Mark 1:16-39, we explore what kind of authority and power Jesus has, and how we are to respond to it. We see several stories all showing Jesus’ authority and a multitude of responses to it. The big question is will we submit to his authority? Will we accept him as our Lord, as well as a saviour? Are we willing to learn what it means to be a true follower of Jesus? Passage: Mark 1:16-39 Date: 1...

Mark 1:1-15 is the introduction to our series in Mark, and we start with this question, Why do so many people reject the gospel? Mark begins recounting the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. We see how John the Baptist prepares the people for Jesus’ arrival, how Jesus was shown to truly be the promised Messiah, and why after all of that the Jews still rejected and crucified him. All of this h...
