This is the first sermon I've posted from my church. It's been a couple of days since I heard it, so I won't do a full recap here.
Being raised in the church, and perhaps more so in the non-denominational charismatic, Rhema-type churches, verses 22-23 of Mark 11 has been co-opted to mean something altogether different than what I heard in this sermon.
Mark 11:22-23 (ESV)
And Jesus answered them, “Have faith in God. 23 Truly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will come to pass, it will be done for him.
Additionally, the verses in this sermon helped me to understand why Jesus cursed the fig tree, why he cleansed the temple, and that selling things in the temple was a provision set forth in the Torah.
Being this cleared up so much confusion around these verses, I wanted to place this here in hopes that it will help you.
The reading of scripture begins at 16:30 and the sermon immediately after.
