Jesus Unfiltered: Son | Mark 9

Mar 100:24:00Tap to summarize

In this sermon, we saw that there is no “next best” after Christ. He is the fulfilment of the Law and the Prophets, standing with Moses and Elijah. He is declared by the Father to be His beloved Son—radiant in glory and worthy of our obedience. And this glorious Son has come to suffer and rise. The pinnacle of salvation history is revealed. Preacher: Michael Calder

Jesus Unfiltered: Messiah | Mark 8

Feb 2200:31:42Tap to summarize

What does it actually mean to be a Christian? In this talk from St John’s Wishart, we hit a turning point in Gospel of Mark 8:27–38. Peter finally says it out loud: Jesus is the Messiah. But Jesus quickly explains that being God’s Messiah means suffering, dying, and rising again — and that following Him means taking up our cross. It’s easy to be a fan of Jesus. It’s much harder to follow Him. Preacher: Michael Calder

Jesus Unfiltered: Grower | Mark 4

Feb 1500:25:53Tap to summarize

We love insider knowledge - the secret scoop. But what if the greatest mystery in history isn’t hidden? In Mark 4, Jesus reveals that the Kingdom of God has been made known and it’s growing. Through the parables of the sower and the mustard seed, we see a Kingdom that is both knowable and unstoppable. The question is not whether God is at work, but how we are listening. Will our hearts be hard, shallow, distracted, or receptive?

Jesus Unfiltered: Stronger | Mark 3:20-35

Feb 800:25:06Tap to summarize

In this sermon from St John’s Wishart, we explore the heart of one of the Bible’s most confronting questions: Who do you say Jesus is? As the religious leaders accuse him of working with evil and even his own family misunderstand him, Jesus declares that he is the Stronger Man—binding Satan, driving out evil, and calling people into a new family under his lordship. This answer isn’t just theological; it’s life-changing now, and eternity-shaping forever.

Jesus Unfiltered: Forgiver | Mark 2:1-12

Feb 200:23:21Tap to summarize

What do we really need most? In Mark 2:1–12, Jesus shows that our deepest problem isn’t physical weakness but sin. As a paralysed man is lowered through a roof by faithful friends, Jesus does the unexpected—he forgives sins. In doing so, Jesus claims divine authority, provoking outrage and awe. When he then heals the man, it proves what his words already declared: Jesus has authority on earth to forgive sins. This sermon explores our deepest need and the forgiving Lord who alone can meet it—fully, freely, and forever.

Jesus Unfiltered: The Kingdom of God | Mark 1:14-45

Jan 2500:24:15Tap to summarize

In Mark 1:14–45, Jesus announces astonishing news: the Kingdom of God has drawn near. In a world longing for stability, peace, and something better, Jesus comes as the true King who brings a Kingdom that lasts forever. This sermon traces the King’s command to repent and believe, the King’s authority over teaching, sickness, and evil, and the King’s compassionate character toward the outcast and broken. Far from nostalgic dreams of a better past, Mark shows us a greater hope—life under God’s good rule, entered through repentance and faith in Jesus, the gracious and powerful King.

Jesus Unfiltered: The Gospel of Jesus Christ | Mark 1:1-13

Jan 2000:27:37Tap to summarize

The Gospel of Jesus Christ launches us into Mark 1:1–13, a fast-paced, unfiltered introduction to Jesus. Mark wastes no time declaring his headline: Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and his arrival is truly good news. This episode explores what “gospel” really means—not good advice, but news of what God has already done for us. We meet John the Baptist preparing the way, witness Jesus’ baptism and divine affirmation, and see him stand firm where Israel failed. This is the beginning of a life-changing story: Jesus, our Saviour, has come.
