To this point Mark?s narrative has promised that Jesus would, paradoxically, establish the kingdom of God through his death. So what does this mean for who belongs to the kingdom and how? Mark answers this question by contrasting stories on faith with stories on self-reliance. In short, the kingdom belongs to the desperate, not the self-reliant, because it belongs to those who rest only on Jesus.
At Edgefield Church, we worship a God who has revealed himself to us in his Word. Each week, we gather to sit under the proclamation of his Word for the building up of the church. For those who listen to our sermons online, our hope is that they will be a helpful and encouraging supplement to the weekly teaching of your local church.
