Podcasts about Mark 10

20 Proverbs 16-17; 27 Daniel 6-10; 19 Psalms 106-108; 41 Mark 10-12

Mark 10:46–52 reveals that saving faith is stubborn faith. The Christian life is a war requiring soldier-like vigilance, yet many Christians buckle under pressure rather than persisting in faith like Bartimaeus did. His stubborn faith—refusing to be silenced, throwing off his cloak, and springing up when called—resulted in both physical healing and spiritual salvation, as he immediately followed Jesus to Jerusalem. The text challenges Christians to examine whether their faith demonstrates this same stubborn persistence when faced with opposition, trials, or feelings of guilt.

The most destructive pattern known to man does not center around anything physically tangible. The only way to avoid this pattern is predicated on having one thing, and one thing only. Watch this video to find out what that is because it changes everything!

What should the Christian be looking forward to? That's what pastor Lloyd Pulley will address today on Bridging the Gap. We're going through Mark's gospel right now, and we've reached chapter eleven. Jesus is about to fulfill Old Testament prophecy by riding into Jerusalem on a donkey. He was the Messiah the Jews had been promised, and we are promised something as well - that one day Jesus will return to this earth for us!

Episode 254 - The Thinklings Podcast Welcome to Episode 254 of The Thinklings Podcast! We're back with another summer style episode—a mix of books, banter, and Bible. Thinkling Boyd and Stearns each share what they've been reading, while Thinkling Carter wraps up the show with a reflection from Mark 10. Thanks for joining us this week!

Who is this Jesus who asks not for a portion of our lives, but for everything? In Mark 10:17–34, He challenges the rich young ruler's priorities, shocks the disciples, and promises unimaginable reward to those who surrender all. This week, we're leaning into the truth that following Jesus might cost us everything—but He always gives back more than we gave up.

 One of the greatest things about the Lord's earthly ministry is the way He recognized and rewarded true faith. We'll see a good example of this today, as we see the Lord's encounter with a man called blind Bartimaeus. This encounter not only shows the healing power of Jesus, but also leads us to have faith in a soon returning King!

Welcome to Generation! ⛪︎In this powerful message from Mark 10, we meet Bartimaeus, the blind beggar who truly sees. Through his story, we discover the Profile of a Disciple: one who recognizes Jesus as King, fights through discouragement, experiences the fullness of Christ, and commits fully to following Him. Jump in as Tim unpacks not only what makes a great athlete, but what defines a true follower of Jesus. Don't miss this invitation to reflect, respond, and follow the King who still asks, “What do you want me to do for you?”

Today on Bridging the Gap we'll talk about greatness from a Biblical perspective - what Jesus Himself said about being great in the kingdom of God. Now, I'd love to be able to hit like Shohei, or hit the ball a mile like Judge, but wouldn't you rather be considered great by God Himself? Our scripture text is Mark chapter ten.

2 Chronicles 29; 19 Psalms 74-75; 41 Mark 10

Mark 10:46-52 Coleton taught on the story of Bartimaeus, highlighting three key themes: Persecution, Prayer, and Faith.     1.    Persecution: Bartimaeus cried out to Jesus despite being rebuked and told to stay quiet. Coleton emphasized that faith in Jesus will sometimes annoy others or invite persecution. We can silence opposition by stopping, but doing so risks missing out on what Jesus wants to do in our lives. When we press on despite resistance, God not only works in us but often transforms our persecutors, turning opposition into partnership for the Kingdom.     2.    Prayer: Jesus asked Bartimaeus, “What do you want me to do for you?” Bartimaeus prayed honestly and personally, asking for sight. Coleton reminded us that God delights in hearing our voices, no matter how small or self-focused our requests seem. Prayer is both sharing our hearts freely with God and praying His promises back to Him, believing He wants to fulfill His Word in our lives.     3.    Faith: Jesus said, “Your faith has healed you.” Faith is more than belief—it's belief put into action. Bartimaeus cried out, came to Jesus, and asked for healing. Our faith impacts what we experience from God because He waits for us to respond to Him in action and prayer. The invitation is to keep calling out to Jesus despite opposition, to pray openly and according to His promises, and to act on what we believe so that we experience His power and presence. ⸻ Discussion Questions Persecution     •    When has following Jesus brought misunderstanding, ridicule, or pushback from others in your life? How did you respond?     •    What might it look like for you to “get louder” in your faith instead of backing down? Prayer     •    If Jesus asked you today, “What do you want me to do for you?” how would you answer?     •    What is one promise of God you need to pray over your life this week? Faith     •    Where in your life do you believe something about Jesus but haven't yet acted on that belief?     •    What practical step can you take this week to turn belief into action? ⸻ Quotes from Authors Used in the Sermon     •    Tertullian: “We (Christians) are not a new philosophy but a divine revelation. That's why you can't exterminate us; the more you kill the more we are. The blood of the martyrs is the seed of the church.” – Apologeticus     •    Pastor Shen Xiaoming: “Exactly, and your opposition forces us to be dependent on Jesus. Your opposition makes us love our enemies. Your opposition makes us hungry for an authentic faith. And that beautiful white hot faith spreads everywhere and delivers people. If you really wanted to get rid of the church, you should let us do whatever we want, and then we would compromise and become weak like the American Church.”     •    Richard Foster: “In prayer we allow ourselves to be gathered up into the arms of the Father and let him sing His love song over us.”     •    Charles Spurgeon:     •    “It glorifies God to use His promises… Plead the promises of God. Open your Bible, put your finger on the passage, and say, ‘Lord, this is Your Word; fulfill it to me.' This is the kind of praying that has never yet been met with repulse.”     •    “Whether we like it or not, asking (in prayer) is the rule of the kingdom. ‘Ask, and you shall receive.'… If the Royal, Divine Son of God cannot be exempted from the rule of asking that He may have, you and I cannot either.”  

2 Chronicles 29; Psalms 74; Mark 10

August 3rd, 2025 | Mark | Rev. Jeremy Byrd

We can become easily distracted in Gospel narratives by topical issues. For instance, in Mark 10, a question posed to Jesus about divorce may draw our attention away from the story at hand towards theological issues. However, Mark did not write a theological treatises. He wrote stories about Jesus illuminating His identity as the Son of God. So what does Jesus' conversation with Pharisees about divorce reveal about His Sonship and His ultimate mission to establish His Father's Kingdom on earth?

In his book about Jesus, Mark gives us a no frills or filler, a no extras or additives, a no sugar or cream version of who Jesus is. And yet Mark manages to reveal Jesus in a way that captures our imaginations, stimulates our minds, and touches our very souls. Join us at Faith Covenant Church as each week this summer we explore a chapter of Mark's book and discover together who Jesus is, why he came, and what he accomplished.

Today on Bridging the Gap, pastor Lloyd Pulley continues out series in Mark's gospel by looking at what Jesus said about true greatness. In this section of scripture we've looked at our passions, and then our possessions, and today we'll look at our position in the kingdom of God. Join us in Mark chapter ten

Very few people understand what it means to obtain something they think they need with the full effect of what it causes. In the case of the kingdom of God, it never works according to human wisdom. As a matter of fact, it is destroyed by it. Today we're going to talk about that and much more!

Why are we so preoccupied with collecting things and owning things? Jesus has some frank words to share about material possessions today as we look at the tenth chapter of Mark. 

Passions, possessions and position. Those are the three “P”'s we're looking at in Mark chapter ten. We looked at passions last time, and today we'll begin a look at possessions. There are between ten and fifteen million cars junked in the United States each year. Can you believe it? Our “stuff” never lasts very long... so what does?

What was really holding the rich young ruler back from following Jesus? In this special Weekly Short episode of Midweek Move, Dallas is joined by Caleb Moreno to unpack Mark 10:17–31, a somber conversation between Jesus and a man who had it all but still lacked something. Together, they explore what it means to truly follow Jesus, how to examine your heart, and how to keep your priorities kingdom-focused, whether you're working a 9-to-5 job or chasing big dreams. Caleb shares how he balances his career goals with his faith, offering practical tips on establishing a spiritual routine, journaling your walk with God, and keeping Christ at the forefront. --- Scripture Focus:   Mark 10:17–31 — “The Rich Young Ruler” Timestamps:   0:00 – Intro 1:00 – Can regular people study the Bible deeply?   2:00 – What the Rich Young Ruler did right… and what he lacked   5:30 – How to spiritually self-check   8:00 – Journaling tips for your faith walk   12:00 – What if Jesus asked you to give it all up? --- Guest: Caleb Moreno   Got thoughts or journaling tips to share?

Who is this Jesus who welcomes children with open arms and challenges the rich with hard truth? In Mark 10:13–22, we see the contrast between childlike faith and clinging to control. This week, we're exploring what it really means to receive the Kingdom—and why sometimes the thing we won't let go of is the very thing keeping us from Jesus.

Today on Bridging the Gap, pastor Lloyd Pulley will take us to Mark chapter ten, where the subject turns to marriage and divorce. When is remarriage permissible?  Have you ever wondered what God has to say in answer to that question?  Today, Lloyd will help us reason through that issue.

Mark chapter ten is about as contemporary as this morning's headlines, as it deals with a problem that is commonplace in the year 2025 - divorce.  Back in the first century, men were divorcing their wives left and right, and the Pharisees asked Jesus if that was lawful.  We'll see what our Lord had to say on the matter on this edition of Bridging the Gap

Text: Mark 10:32–45 In this message, Coleton draws out three defining qualities Jesus desires in His followers. As Jesus journeys to the cross, He pauses to tell His disciples what He wants them to become. In the same way a father might shape the identity of his child (like Coleton does with “bro trips” for his son), Jesus shapes the identity of His people. 1. He Wants the Cross to Be Central Jesus again reminds His disciples of His coming suffering (v.32–34), but they respond by asking for glory and reward (v.35–37). Coleton points out how easy it is to approach Jesus expecting an easier life, rather than embracing the call to die to self.     •    If the cross isn't central, we'll misinterpret hardship as failure, punishment, or evidence that God has let us down.     •    But suffering is part of the path. Like Jesus, we too will walk through pain. The cross reminds us that hardship isn't punishment—it's purpose. “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross and follow me.” (Mark 8:34) When the cross is central:     •    We won't expect an easy life.     •    We won't minimize others' pain.     •    We'll learn to suffer well and bring real comfort to others who suffer. 2. He Wants Us to Be Set Apart In verses 42–44, Jesus tells His followers: “Not so with you.” Coleton emphasizes that Jesus isn't asking for moral superiority or judgment over the world, but difference. Christians should live in contrast to worldly values—not through self-righteousness but through humility, sacrifice, forgiveness, generosity, and peace. Some examples of a “Not so with you” life:     •    The world seeks credit; Christians serve quietly.     •    The world holds grudges; Christians forgive.     •    The world avoids reconciliation; Christians fight for it.     •    The world fears the future; Christians trust in God. Jesus doesn't ask us to condemn the world. He asks us to show a better way. 3. He Wants Us to Represent Him In verse 45, Jesus offers Himself as a model: “The Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many.” Coleton urges listeners to ask themselves: If my life is the only picture someone sees of Jesus, what will they think He's like? Too many people claim Christ but misrepresent Him with hypocrisy, political idolatry, or cruelty. What our broken world needs is not more cultural Christians—it needs transformed people who reflect the real Jesus. People should see in us the compassion, courage, humility, and love of Christ. ⸻ Discussion Questions 1. The Cross & Suffering     •    How are you currently viewing your hardship or suffering?     •    Do you tend to see pain as a sign that something has gone wrong—or as something God can use to form you?     •    What would it look like to keep the cross central in your thinking during hard times? 2. Living Set Apart     •    Where in your life would Jesus say, “Not so with you”?     •    Which worldly values or habits are you tempted to follow instead of embodying Jesus' way?     •    What is one practical way this week you can live differently—compellingly different—in your relationships, speech, spending, or reactions? 3. Representing Jesus Well     •    If someone based their view of Jesus solely on how you live, what would they believe He is like?     •    Do people see in you someone who has been radically changed by Jesus?     •    How can you more clearly reflect the compassion, humility, and sacrificial love of Jesus in your day-to-day life? ⸻

Today we're going to talk about a series of statements that if understood as intended, will rapidly change everything about the way you live your life. Here's a huge hint; now is not the time to slow down. It's time to run hard.

Who is this Jesus who refuses to play political games and instead points us back to God's heart? In Mark 10:1–12, Jesus speaks into a loaded question about divorce—not to shame, but to restore God's original design for marriage. This week, we unpack a hard but hopeful word about covenant, commitment, and the kind of love that doesn't give up when things get hard. “Divorce isn't for people who fail—it's for people who refuse to turn around.”

1 Corinthians 12:4-11 New King James Version   4 There are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. 5 There are differences of ministries, but the same Lord. 6 And there are diversities of activities, but it is the same God who works all in all. 7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all: 8 for to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit, 9 to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit, 10 to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. 11 But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills.

Heroes have been around in ancient poems, legends, comic books, tv shows and in movies. Besides having great powers or abilities, they also have a destructive weakness. Even Jesus' disciples had a fallen hero. But, listen and you will be encouraged. Copyright, Dave Andrus 2025

What does Jesus mean when He says we have to be like a child to receive the Kingdom of Heaven? How does this call affect the responsibility of adult believers? Join us as Dallas and special guest Caleb Renfroe sit down to walk through Mark 10:13-16 together.

Jesus was a master story teller who used parables to teach about the Kingdom of God. All the parables are unique in their ability to shock the listener and engage the heart not just the mind. This sermon is a deeper dive into the Parable of the Rich Young Ruler and shows Jesus sending him away due to an idol of greed.
