In this sermon, the preacher begins by sharing that he felt prompted to preach a different message than planned. He then reads from the book of Mark, specifically chapter 3, where Jesus enters a house and a crowd gathers around him. The preacher emphasizes the importance of unity and warns against division, stating that anything divided against itself becomes weak and eventually crumbles. He references various examples, such as a choir, a deacon board, and even a nation, to illustrate the destructive nature of division. The preacher concludes by highlighting the New Testament's instruction to mark and avoid those who cause division, emphasizing the importance of love and unity in the church.

R.A. Torrey explores the concept of the unpardonable sin as presented in Mark 3:20-35, emphasizing how Jesus was misunderstood by both His friends and enemies. He highlights the eagerness of the crowds to hear Jesus, the accusations from the scribes claiming He was in league with the devil, and the painful misunderstanding from His own family. Torrey explains that the unpardonable sin, blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, stems from a hardened heart that refuses to repent, making it impossible for such individuals to seek forgiveness. Ultimately, he reassures that all who come to Christ will be received, contrasting this with the grave warning about the unpardonable sin. The sermon concludes with the affirmation that true kinship with Christ is found in obedience to God's will.
