Mark 9:38‐50 – September 15, 2024

Text: Mark 9:38‐50
Today’s passage from Mark begins with someone who is not a disciple of Jesus casting out demons in His name. This follows the story of the disciples not being able to perform a similar act, and later arguing who among them was the greatest. This story shows that the power of God at work in our world has nothing to do with our personal power or the exercising of power over others; it is all about God’s mercy reaching out and communicating His love through us to the world.
