How to Handle the Truth (16 of 48)
Series: The Gospel of Mark

Mark 6:14-30
Hollywood wants you to think that you can't handle the truth. Philosophers want you to think you can't understand the truth. Some people believe politicians deleted the truth, but none of that is true. Today we're going to study the life of a man who was willing to die for the truth. So if you have your bibles, open them up to Mark chapter 6. We're going to be in verses 14-30 today.

The soldier at the gate said, ''Stop!'' He didn't stop, he continued to barrel through the exit. The MP raised his rifle and said, ''You'd better stop, or I'm going to have to shoot.'' The young soldier said, ''My mom's in heaven, my dad's in hell, and my girl's in Chicago, and one of them, I'm going to see tonight.''
What are you willing to die for? Do you have anything in your life that you value more than yourself? What are you willing to die for? I want you to know, at the beginning of this message, my intent is to challenge all of us to love Jesus Christ so intensely and so intentionally and His truth and His gospel, that we are willing to lay down our lives for Him and for the gospel, if necessary. And you say, ''Bob, it's kind of early in the morning to talk about dying for stuff.'' That's the challenge. That's the call of Christ as a Christian. We have that throughout scripture.
