Hollyview Church sermon from November 9, 2025. Continuing our series in the Gospel of Mark, Caleb Wright brings a message from Mark 16:1-8.
Jesus says in John 14:10-11, “Do you not believe that I am IN the Father, and the Father IN Me? The words that I speak, I speak not of Myself, but the Father who LIVES IN Me, HE does the works! Believe for the works' sake!” And in v12, “He that believes in Me, the works that I do, he shall do also – and GREATER WORKS THAN THESE shall he do because I go to My Father.” Jesus is teaching us that IF WE BELIEVE in Him, once He has gone back to be with His Father, we then on earth HAVE to carry on the work that He did – we HAVE to do what He did! So many people seem to read John 14 without seemingly being able to believe it.
15 Ezra 3-4; 19 Psalms 86-88; 41 Mark 16
Hello,Kindly listen to the teaching titled GOOD NEWS FOR EVERYONE! (MARK 16:15) by MRS. DOREEN MUKASA from the Evening Devotion of Sunday, 9th November 2025
Who will believe our report? Listen to the heart of the Lord as He tries to comfort His beloved followers in their dark season. How many times have you refused to hear the wonderful whispers of the comfort of the Holy Spirit when the Lord is trying to send you a message? Yesterday, today, and tomorrow, Jesus is alive and full of resurrection power seated at the right hand of His Father God Almighty. Rejoice! He is both Victor and Overcomer and is now ready to reign from Heaven through the human vessels of believing mankind.
In Acts 1:8 Jesus said, “You shall receive power after the Holy Ghost is come upon you, and you shall be witnesses.” The clear promise is that HIS power would be in US. Also that we would become witnesses. A witness is one who sees something and reports on it. We need to see, experience and witness God's miraculous power in action! Not merely by sitting and waiting, but by making it happen through the power of God. Get a vision and make it happen! I have seen many miracles. In a period of five years, only in Russia and Ukraine, we recorded more than 20,000 healings! I have a very long record with the KGB! One year I arrived in a city in Russia and they were waiting to stop me preaching – but their biggest problem was not the preaching, it was the miracles of healing! They are not afraid of preachers – they are afraid of the Power of God! They asked me, “What is your authority to heal the sick?” We opened the Word of God and showed them Mark 16, “This is what God tells us to do, it's in the Bible, ‘Lay hands on the sick and they WILL be healed!' We're going to do what the Bible says,” and they couldn't stop us!
In Mark 16 and 1 Corinthians 15, we see the power of the resurrection—Jesus risen and inviting us into new life with Him. To be born again is to die to the old and rise with Christ, fully alive by His Spirit. Salt Church in Wilmington, NC, led by Pastors Parker & Jessi Green, exists to know Jesus, worship Him, and do the works He did.Plan Your Visit to SALT Church:https://www.saltchurches.com/Ways to Support the Ministry:https://www.saltchurches.com/givingSubscribe:https://www.instagram.com/saltchurches/Subscribe @saltchurchNC Connect with Parker + Jessi Green:Instagram Parker / https://www.instagram.com/parkerrichardgreen/Instagram Jessi /https://www.instagram.com/jessi.green/Websites https://www.saltchurches.com/https://www.jessi-green.com/https://www.saturateglobal.com/#prayer #bible #biblestudy #saltchurch #revival #parkergreen #jessigreen
He said to them, ‘Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. Whoever believes and is baptised will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. And these signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on people who are ill, and they will get well.' (Mark 16:15-18, NIV) When we see what is happening in the world today, the fulfilment of so many prophecies, and how close we are to the return of Christ, we need to act fast. Remember the great commission of Christ, “Go into all the world and preach the Gospel!” – Mark 16:15. Remember also that the Bible says, ‘For this purpose was the Son of man revealed, to destroy the works of the evil one.' – 1 John 3:8. In order to do these things and to see the fulfilment of all that GOD, rather than what the devil wants to do in these last days, we need to experience and know God's dynamic power in us!
Nobody expected a resurrection. At least, that's what the women didn't expect as they went to anoint Jesus' body in the tomb. But what they found when they arrived changed everything. Jesus kept every promise. The resurrection proved that the ransom for many was accepted. And now, the resurrection dispels doubt, disbelief, and denial that Jesus is Lord.

Pastor Mac provides a topical style teaching utilizing Matthew CH 28:16-20 as our anchor verses for the Church, while expounding on Mark CH 16:15-18 in order to show how these verses are addressing the Apostles and not the Church as a whole based on who Jesus is addressing within the text. This teaching will discuss a practical approach when using the gospels synoptically that should aid in identifying distinctions when topics are closely related such as these, which has led to a failure regarding the Church acting upon the true challenge associated with the great commission.

Anyone who watches court cases on TV can tell you that the most important factor in acquittal or conviction is the quality of the evidence. There is plenty of evidence to support the resurrection of Jesus, but as we wrap up our series today, pastor Lloyd will also consider another important question - why did Jesus die?
Mark 16: 19-20
Today we'll bring you part one of pastor Lloyd's final message in his series through Mark. Jesus indeed rose from the grave, and the proof was there for anyone to see - anyone that is who sought the truth. As Lloyd will mention, the proof that Jesus Christ rose from the grave is overwhelming, and anyone who disagrees simply doesn't know what they're talking about!
To become a follower of Jesus, visit: https://MorningMindsetMedia.com/MeetJesus (NOT a Morning Mindset resource) ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ A brief video covering this issue (that I think is very good) can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B9RsHnb7huk - My description follows… The words found in the gospel of Mark 16:9-20 are likely NOT included in the original document that the gospel writer (Mark) recorded. How do we know this? We know because we are able to compare the existing copies of Mark’s gospel to one another - and when we do, we find that the very earliest copies (the oldest ones) do not contain these words. It’s also clear from notations in the copies that DO contain it, that the scribes who copied them knew there was some kind of dispute or “problem” related to the inclusion of verses 9-20. So how did these verses get into our Bibles? We don’t know for sure, but the best guess of scholars who think the passage is not original to Mark’s writing believe that a well-meaning scribe (a person who copied scripture by hand), felt that Mark’s ending was too abrupt, so he did something to “fix” the problem, as he saw it. While we don’t truly know WHO added this ending, or WHY they added it, we know at the very least that since at least the 2nd century, scribes have struggled with whether or not to include this section in the Gospel of Mark. To support this theory is the clear evidence that in the text of those earliest copies, the style or “era” of Greek script used to record verses 9-20 is very different than the Greek used in the rest of the Gospel. It’s pretty clear that a different scribe, at some point, wrote that section. For this reason, many researchers of ancient documents do NOT feel that these verses should be included in the gospel of Mark. Most modern study bibles will have a note that indicates the problematic nature of this section for modern readers. ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ FINANCIALLY SUPPORT THE MORNING MINDSET: (not tax-deductible) -- Become a monthly partner: https://mm-gfk-partners.supercast.com/ -- Underwrite one daily episode: https://MorningMindsetMedia.com/daily-sponsor/ -- Give one-time: https://give.cornerstone.cc/careygreen -- Venmo: @CareyNGreen ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ FOREIGN LANGUAGE VERSIONS OF THIS PODCAST: Subscribe to the SPANISH version: https://MorningMindsetMedia.com/Spanish Subscribe to the HINDI version: https://MorningMindsetMedia.com/Hindi Subscribe to the CHINESE version: https://MorningMindsetMedia.com/Chinese ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ CONTACT: Carey@careygreen.com ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ THEME MUSIC: “King’s Trailer” – Creative Commons 0 | Provided by https://freepd.com/ ***All NON-ENGLISH versions of the Morning Mindset are translated using A.I.

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Support our mission to teach every verse of the Bible on video over the next 23 years. Read more about it here: PROJECT23 Our text today is Mark 16:19-20: “So then the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken to them, was taken up into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God. And they went out and proclaimed the gospel everywhere, while the Lord worked with them and confirmed the message by accompanying signs.”— Mark 16:19-20 The curtain closes on Mark's gospel with an unforgettable moment. Jesus lifts off the ground, rising above the clouds, until heaven swallows him up. Gone from sight, he takes his seat of authority beside the Father. Yet his work is far from over. The eleven disciples pour into the streets, fueled by his final words. They preach, pray, and watch God back their message with miracles that turn heads and soften hearts. Jesus' ascension reveals two truths: He reigns in heaven and He empowers on earth. Sitting at God's right hand means his work is complete and perfect. Yet his mission continues through us. When we share the gospel, we aren't alone. The same Lord who conquered death stands with us, backing every word with his power. Too often, we tuck our faith behind closed doors. We think Jesus is distant, leaving us to figure out life on our own. But the ascended Christ rules at God's right hand and stands alongside you today. Your words matter. Your prayers matter. When you step out in obedience, Jesus goes with you. Faith in motion means joining heaven's King in his ongoing work. Let's live as if the Gospel is taking effect in our lives, so that Christ can affect others through us. ASK THIS: How does knowing Jesus reigns from heaven change your confidence in sharing the gospel? When have you felt God confirm your words with a “sign” or answer to prayer? What mission has Jesus given you in your family, workplace, or community? How can you lean more on Christ's power rather than your own efforts this week? DO THIS: Choose one person in your life who hasn't heard the full gospel—send them a message or invite them to coffee, then share the core truth of Christ's death, resurrection, and your own hope in him. PRAY THIS: Lord Jesus, exalted King, thank you for sitting at the Father's right hand and sending me out. Fill me with courage and power so your message changes lives wherever I go. Amen PLAY THIS: "O Worship the Risen Christ."
Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Support our mission to teach every verse of the Bible on video over the next 23 years. Read more about it here: PROJECT23 Our text today is Mark 16:17-18: “And these signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will cast out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up serpents with their hands; and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them; they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will recover.” — Mark 16:17-18 The eleven had just heard the Great Commission. Their heads buzzed with the command to “go” and “believe.” Now Jesus adds a list of powerful signs. These weren't magic tricks—they were invitations to partner with heaven. Imagine a room where chains break, tongues speak, poisons lose their sting, and the sick stand up whole. That was the new normal for believers—if they dared to trust. God's kingdom drives back darkness. When we place our faith in Jesus, we discover his power. Casting out demons isn't about fearlessly facing reptiles; it's about rejecting evil. Tongues demonstrate that God can speak in some unexpected ways. Healing and protection demonstrate that life in Christ overcomes death and danger. Too often, we treat our faith like some defensive safety net—only there when we're desperate and under attack. But Jesus calls us into a lifestyle of supernatural offensive partnership. At work, that might mean praying and seeing a broken team find unity. In your neighborhood, it could look like praying over a sick friend and watching them recover. Obedience is faith in offensive motion: leaning into God's power rather than relying on our plans. Let's be more proactive today and be a force for God's work in this life. ASK THIS: Which of these signs—healing, deliverance, new speech—stretches your faith the most? How do you respond when you see someone step out in supernatural trust? Where in your life do you need to rely less on yourself and more on God's power? What small step of faith can you take today to lean into his kingdom work? DO THIS: Pray for someone who is struggling, then place your hand on them (even if it's through a screen or over the phone) and ask Jesus to bring healing. PRAY THIS: Jesus, show me how to trust your power instead of my doubts. Help me step out in faith, so others see your kingdom come. Amen PLAY THIS: "Do It Again."

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Support our mission to teach every verse of the Bible on video over the next 23 years. Read more about it here: PROJECT23 Our text today is Mark 16:15-16: “And he said to them, ‘Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.'” — Mark 16:15-16 Jesus gathered his friends one last time. The weight of the cross still hung in their minds. But now he stood alive, victorious over death. He gave them a mission: don't conceal, proclaim. Go into every town, every street, every heart, and tell the good news. Believe and be baptized. That simple call would launch the church and shock the world. God's love isn't supposed to be kept to ourselves. When we believe in Jesus, we get caught up in his story, and that story must be told. In addition, baptism is one of those acts that demonstrates our decision: we die to the old life and rise with Christ in a brand new life. Belief is personal but never private; it's powerful and public. Too often, we think the Great Commission is exclusively for pastors or missionaries. However, this command applies everywhere you go: your office, your neighborhood, and even your lunch table. Obedience is faith in motion: speaking truth in everyday moments. Your faith becomes real when you share it—when you invite someone to take that first step of belief and baptism. So, encourage belief in others today and do it yourself. ASK THIS: Who in your circle needs to hear the gospel this week? What fears keep you from starting spiritual conversations? How would your life look if you lived always “sent” instead of “sitting”? What next step can you take to show belief—either in baptism or in bold witness? DO THIS: Identify one person you can tell about Jesus by tomorrow—then send a text, make a call, or invite them for coffee and share the gospel in two sentences. PRAY THIS: Lord, give me boldness to obey your command and share the gospel without apology. Make my words clear and my heart fearless, so others can believe and be saved. Amen PLAY THIS: "Build My Life."
Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Today's shout-out goes to Mark Noftsinger from Roanoke, VA. Thank you for your generosity and partnership in Project 23. This one's for you today. Our text today is Mark 16:12-14: After these things he appeared in another form to two of them, as they were walking into the country. And they went back and told the rest, but they did not believe them. Afterward he appeared to the eleven themselves as they were reclining at table, and he rebuked them for their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they had not believed those who saw him after he had risen. — Mark 16:12-14 Two disciples walk along a dusty road, their hearts heavy with grief. A stranger joins them, yet they fail to recognize Jesus. Later, their excitement spills out as they report the encounter to the others—only to be met with doubt. That evening, around a familiar table, Jesus stands among the eleven and gently rebukes their unbelief. God's power isn't limited to the sights we demand. He meets us in unexpected ways to stretch our faith. Yet our hardened hearts often cling to proof over promise. When Jesus rebukes our doubt, he invites us to trust the faithful witnesses share. In everyday life, we often wait for grand miracles before we step forward. At work, we ignore a colleague's sound advice because we need more evidence. In a family, we question a friend's good intentions, looking only for what we can prove. In our spiritual walk, we often dismiss the testimonies of those who have experienced God's power firsthand. But real faith is not passive; it's action on the word of trusted witnesses. Faith in motion means obeying before we have every detail—leaning into what we've heard, not just what we've seen. When we choose to trust the voices God uses, we open ourselves to deeper encounters with him. So live with more faith today. ASK THIS: Have you ever ignored someone's story of God's work because it didn't match your expectations? What doubts keep you from accepting what fellow believers share? How does Jesus' gentle rebuke challenge your need for constant proof? In what area of your life can you choose to trust what you've heard, even without seeing it yourself? DO THIS: Reach out today to a friend who has shared a testimony of God's faithfulness—listen carefully, thank them, and ask how you can pray for them. PRAY THIS: Lord, soften my heart to receive truth from those you use as your messengers. Help me to trust and obey, even when I haven't seen every proof. PLAY THIS: "Cornerstone."
