Jesus said "if a house is divided against itself, it will not stand." This parable is connected to at least two Old Testament stories. We will explore those stories along with the parable as we continue our journey through the 10 parables found in the Gospel of Mark.

Sermon Notes:
Mark 3:22-27
1 Kings 12:1-16
Judges16:4-17

Implications:

• Unity thrives off humility. How well you keep your pride in check will determine your ability to foster a healthy home, church, and community.
• Unity thrives off self-control. If you are ruled by your desires, your relationships will suffer.
• Your pride and uncontrolled desires will impede your ability to experience Jesus.
