Mark 9: Who is the Greatest?

Speaker: Michael Swearingen

Main Text: Mark 9

Description: In this sermon from Mark chapter 9, Jesus reveals that the power of God’s kingdom works differently than the world expects. Rather than flowing through strength, success, or status, true spiritual power comes through prayer, dependence on God, and humble, childlike trust.

Through moments of teaching and healing, we see that while everyone has access to God, not everyone experiences the fullness of His power. This message explores how prayer changes what’s possible, why humility opens the door to God’s work, and how trusting Jesus transforms the way we live and believe.

This teaching from the Gospel of Mark challenges believers to move from self-reliance to deeper faith and dependence on God.
