Forgivable Sin?

Sermon Notes

Mark 3:22-30
And the scribes who came down from Jerusalem were saying, “He is possessed by Beelzebul,” and “by the prince of demons he casts out the demons.” And he called them to him and said to them in parables, “How can Satan cast out Satan? If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. And if a house is divided against itself, that house will not be able to stand. And if Satan has risen up against himself and is divided, he cannot stand, but is coming to an end. But no one can enter a strong man’s house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man. Then indeed he may plunder his house. “Truly, I say to you, all sins will be forgiven the children of man, and whatever blasphemies they utter, but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin”— for they were saying, “He has an unclean spirit.”

Deep Dive

  1. Read 1 John 1:7-9. What do we learn of God’s forgiveness that’s available for all who repent, no matter their past?
  2. Why is it important to run toward Jesus in faith and repentance rather than flirt with the boundary of sin?
  3. What is unforgivable sin, and how should that motivate us to share Jesus with others?

Springboard

  1. Why is your mom important, and why should we honor moms on Mother’s Day?
  2. How does Jesus’ response to His family in Mark 3:31–35 challenge our understanding of what it means to belong to God’s family?
  3. Why do you think Jesus emphasized obedience to the will of God as the mark of a true spiritual family, rather than physical or cultural background?
