Where the Worm Does Not Die (Mark 9:42–50) — A Sermon by R.C. Sproul

Summary

This sermon focuses on Jesus' stern warnings from Mark 9:42-50 against causing "little ones," or simple believers, to stumble. The core message uses extreme metaphors of self-mutilation and drowning to emphasize the severity of leading others astray, contrasting it with being "seasoned with salt" for God. The practical takeaway is to live with radical commitment to faith and to preserve peace with fellow believers, avoiding actions or teachings that might weaken their spiritual foundation.
