Killing Sin | Mark 9 | Highland Hill Community Church

Imagine standing in a quiet room when Jesus suddenly says something so severe it makes everyone stop. The disciples had just been arguing about greatness—who was the most important, who held the highest position. A child stood among them, small, trusting, believing. And in that moment Jesus delivers one of the most sobering warnings in all of Scripture. “If anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him if a great millstone were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea.” This is not exaggeration. This is a thunderous warning from Christ Himself. Because this is not about hurt feelings. This is about destroying faith. This is about crushing innocence. This is about sin that damages souls. In this sermon, Pastor Matt walks through Jesus’ warning in Mark 9 and shows how seriously heaven takes sin—especially when it harms those who are spiritually weak or vulnerable. Jesus calls His followers to fiercely protect the faith of the “little ones,” confront sin honestly, and take radical steps in their own lives to fight against it. Sin is never small. Its consequences are eternal. Yet in the midst of this sobering passage we are also reminded of the hope found in Christ’s sacrifice, which frees believers to pursue holiness. This message challenges us to examine our lives, our churches, and our influence on others. Do we treat sin as seriously as Jesus does? And are we protecting the faith of those entrusted to our care? You’ll learn: • Why Jesus gives such a severe warning about causing others to stumble • Who the “little ones” are and why their faith must be protected • How sin spreads and damages both individuals and the church • Why believers must take radical action in the fight against sin • How Christ’s sacrifice makes holiness possible for those who believe Key Passage: Mark 9:42–50 Main Truth: Followers of Christ must fiercely protect the faith of the vulnerable and take sin seriously in their own lives. ⸻ Join Us In Person or Online Highland Hill Community Church – Tacoma, WA Sundays at 11am | Bible Study at 9:45am Visit: https://highlandhillchurch.org ⸻ Stay Connected Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?...
