The Danger of Familiarity (Mark 6:1-6) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Sermon by Rev. David Ryu, on Sunday, September 20, 2026, at Diaspora Church. The sermon text comes from Mark 6:1-6. Jesus returned to His hometown of Nazareth, but instead of welcoming Him home, the people took offense at Him. How could those who were so privileged to know Jesus their whole lives still be found in unbelief? How is it possible that they were so astonished by the teachings of Jesus, yet still remained unbelieving in their hearts? This passage confronts us with a searching question
A Tale of Two Daughters (Mark 5:21-43) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Sermon by Rev. David Ryu, on Sunday September 6, 2026, at Diaspora Church. The sermon text comes from Mark 5:21-43. This is a tale of two daughters. Mark's literary contrast is fascinating. One daughter is twelve years old and is at the point of death. The other is twelve years into her suffering and is at the point of despair. One daughter was born into wealth and prominence. The other was driven to poverty and shame. But here's the main point of the story: daughters young and old, daughters of
A Living Testimony (Mark 5:1-20) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Sermon by Rev. David Ryu, on Sunday, August 30, 2026, at Diaspora Church. The sermon text comes from Mark 5:1-20. A man possessed by a legion of demons and thousands of pigs rushing into the sea. This dramatic encounter with the spiritual realm is one of the strangest accounts in Scripture. While much of what we see in modern deliverance ministries is a fabrication of human imagination, we must not succumb to the skepticism of our age concerning the power and work of Satan. In this passage, we a
Safe in the Storm (Mark 4:35-41) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Sermon by Rev. David Ryu, on Sunday, August 16, 2026, at Diaspora Church. The sermon text comes from Mark 4:35-41. Perhaps you've heard many sermons on it before—sermons about how Jesus can calm the storms in your life. But if that is all we take away from this text, we have missed so much of what Mark wants us to see and consider. As we observe this text, we find four different questions, raised by the disciples and Jesus Himself. And these four questions form a natural progression through the
A Theology of Winning (Mark 4:21-34) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Sermon by Rev. David Ryu, on Sunday, August 2, 2026, at Diaspora Church. The sermon text comes from Mark 4:21-34. By all appearances, it seems that Christianity is losing and in sharp decline. It seems that the light of the gospel has been overwhelmed by the darkness of our culture and a Christian revival feels like a distant dream. However, Jesus would have us see things very differently. He would like to speak into our discouraged and despairing hearts. In this passage, Jesus gives us the fram
