The Coiled Snake of Jealousy

Mark 9:38–41

Jealousy often hides beneath an exclusive spirit, one that limits God’s work to a familiar circle. When John reported that the disciples had tried to stop a man casting out demons because he wasn’t part of their group, Jesus’ response surprised them all.

In Mark 9:38–41, Pastor Chuck Swindoll uncovers the coiled snake of jealousy lurking beneath an exclusive spirit. Jesus broadened His disciples’ horizons, declaring that whoever is not against us is for us.

Resist the exclusive spirit that confines God’s work to your own circle. Celebrate the broader family of faith and rejoice whenever the gospel advances!
