Jesus has commissioned His church to a global mission: to preach the gospel in all the world and to make disciples among the nations. In this sermon, R.C. Sproul concludes his series in the gospel of Mark.

Mark 16:9-20 is in there because God wants it to be in there, period. No matter how it got there, it's exactly where it is supposed to be! Praise God! I will never doubt the inerrancy of The Word of God! Amen.

Perfect, am humbled by God's Word

16:38 "Baptism is not necessary for salvation but it is necessary for sanctification. Why? Because we are commanded to be baptized." ~ R.C. Sproul

I love this about the Word of God: It can stand up to any legitimate scrutiny. It stands firm and endures.

[BraydenWolframe]

Amen. This series has been immensely edifying to my soul and walk with The Lord Jesus. God bless you all.

Thank YOU SO MUCH for these teachings, thank you, thank you! I have enjoyed going through the Book of Mark with Pastor R. C. Sproul. What a blessing these teachings have been.

In defence of Mark 16:9-20, early church fathers like Irenaeus (writing from 180-ish) references these verses as genuine, which predates the earliest manuscripts we have of this section of Mark (e.g. Codex Vaticanus).

The part about poison reminds me of an incident that I read of in a missionary biography. Sophie Muller was a New Tribes Missionary in Columbia in the 1940s and 50s. She travelled extensively throughout a large area visiting tribes and witnessing to them about the Gospel.

On one occasion she arrived in a village, late at night, having travelled all day. She was given a meal and left alone in a small hut. Just after that she was violently sick, laid down and went to sleep. The next morning she was recovered and went on her way.

A few years later, she returned to that village and found that the Gospel had made an impact, with souls having been saved. Upon enquiring about this she was asked if she remembered being given a meal when she came before. When she replied in the affirmative, she was then informed that there was enough poison in that meal "to kill 20 men". When the villagers saw that she was alive they realised that she had truly been sent by God, and this led to their conversion. Could this be, I wonder, a possible fulfilment of Mark 16?

Waking up to where you came down from will even grasp the writing will show you its all allegoric from adam and eve that were not born, each man which is male and female separated in coming down from spirit to flesh and blood, Jesus wasn't separated and neither male or female, that was a pattern for all sons of God came down and will be like the allegory written of Jesus (God), even that prayer in John 17:5 is actually every one awaken about coming down like all sons of God does before the world was created. no ones lost and lives many times the you experience, dust your body come into when dead, the dream of separated into male and female is a soul and a sleeping spirit that never dies . no

11:25. No. Not preach the gospel. Rather -- to teach them everything He has commanded.

I came here hoping that RC was going to address that possibly the earliest manuscripts and some other ancient witnesses do not have verses 9–20. Can someone here head me in that direction?

For lost tribes of Israelites all over the "Known Western world"
Paul uses many gentiles.. along his journey.. thus grants.. gentile the covenant.
thus.. future shems who are mixed with other races will be able to gain the covenant.

[berglen]

look in the mirror and see Jesus a son of man before he woke up in you. everythink of Gods kingdom is in not the shadow of creation, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: 21Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you

[scouseaussie]

How convenient for tongue deniers to say the ending of Mark is not in the interpretation of scripture.
Talk about cherry picking scripture.
By the way I’m a Presbyterian

Good ol Calvies.
In there arrogance they can't see their contradiction(s).
If one is elected by God to be saved why do they need missionaries?
