The document contains notes from Mark chapter 9 about Jesus transfiguration, healing a demon possessed boy, arguing with his disciples about who is the greatest, welcoming children, and warnings about sin and hell. It discusses Jesus wanting to be Lord of people's entire lives and working out their brokenness, and viewing people's souls as treasures he wants to protect from sin.
Editor's Notes
- #3: Jesus often limits who sees his glory Mount Herman Source of Jordan River, Spot where Abraham took Issaic to be sacrificed Site of 6 Days War Battle
- #4: On the 7th day (sabbath) Moses = intimacy with God --- Elijah = superman of OT Both obedient servants, both suffered, both rejected by people of God, both vindicated by God, both did not die Peter puts Jesus on same level as Moses and Elijah Tents = Peter thinks this is the spot for Messianic, military army to rise up (this is a spot of battle in the six-days war)
- #5: They DO eventually get it Disciples wanted to be great wanted to sit next to Jesus wanted power over demons
- #6: Disciples are trying to cast out this demon? Scribes happy to finally get one on them!!! Jesus takes command of the situation All is possible because God is so big, not that our faith is so big (hope is what we pray for, faith is what we cling to) Jesus is correcting them...... are you not praying? God is the source

- #10: C.S. Lewis -- Mere Christianity “so heavenly minded, they’re no earthly good” -- not true
- #11: Jesus rejects the ideal of modern masculinity & one-up-man-ship Children = totally dependent on parents (the father) powerless, in the way, very easy to overlook what if we interviewed the inferiors instead of the superiors when we hired a pastor
- #12: No one is better than another...... no matter what degree, job, title, or experience Our humility is the key, and if we don’t have it....... we fail to grasp the kingdom
- #13: No one is better than another...... no matter what degree, job, title, or experience Our humility is the key, and if we don’t have it....... we fail to grasp the kingdom
- #14: No one is better than another...... no matter what degree, job, title, or experience Our humility is the key, and if we don’t have it....... we fail to grasp the kingdom
- #15: Knowledge can be dangerous.... WITHOUT HUMILITY!! As we grow in our relationship, others may not be on the same level..... and we can cause them to stumble Concerned about fragile faith, but not fragile egos Hyperbole = God is against self mutilation
- #16: Effective domain of God’s Will -- you’re little will is under God’s Perfect will Bring Your Kingdom in alignment with mine Gospel has been presented as Jesus died for my sin, now I get to go to heaven (like saying the summation of my whole house is my couch)
- #17: From beginning to end, the bible is the story of God redeeming ALL creation to himself Huge danger in the church is a bunch of people who think they are going to heaven, but don’t know Jesus
- #18: Isaiah 66: ---- Gehenna Salt and fire is about presenting your life as a living sacrifice to God ---- you are to be a pleasant seasoning of Good news, so spread the Shalom We often talk about the cost of being a disciple, but the cost of not following him is even greater..... the cost of restless sleep, of getting caught, of not knowing truth, of not knowing love, of not being comfortable in your own skin
- #19: Isaiah 66: ---- Gehenna Salt and fire is about presenting your life as a living sacrifice to God ---- you are to be a pleasant seasoning of Good news, so spread the Shalom We often talk about the cost of being a disciple, but the cost of not following him is even greater..... the cost of restless sleep, of getting caught, of not knowing truth, of not knowing love, of not being comfortable in your own skin
