We often find God's words and actions do not make any sense to us. They are illogical and counterintuitive. In this scripture passage, the disciples encountered a series of counterintuitive statements made by Jesus, and felt embarrassed and confused. How do we develop the divine mindset so that our thoughts and actions will be aligned with Christ? The sermon wrestles with ways to develop divine mindset in light of this passage (Mark 9:30-37).

I am not being negative here but being realistic because we cannot overcome suffering by denying it. The story in Mark 10:46-52 gives us insights on how to surf the sea of suffering. Let's take a look!

Romans continues its theme of reminding believers about our new life found in Christ. However, Paul adds another layer – The Holy Spirit. Our salvation is orchestrated by the Father, carried out by the son, and empowered by the Holy Spirit.

This should be a great comfort to the struggling Christian as we pursue a life that is continually transformed into the likeness of Christ.
