1 Corinthians 15:3-7
3 For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4 and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures, 5 and that He was seen by Cephas, then by the twelve. 6 After that He was seen by over five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain to the present, but some have fallen asleep. 7 After that He was seen by James, then by all the apostles.

Mark 8:31-34 Nonconformity seen:
• Pluralism is allowing more than one source of authority in your life.
• Mark 8:31 Jesus taught He will suffer, be rejected, killed, and will rise again after three days.
• Mark 8:32-33 Peter rebukes Jesus…
• Mark 8:33-34 Jesus rebukes Peter, Get behind Me, Satan! For you are not mindful of the things of God, but the things of men. 34 Whoever desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me.
Mark 9:30-37 Nonconformity seen:
• Relativism is the belief that right and wrong—truth and morality—are arbitrary and transitory that can be determined by the individual and/or culture.

Mark 10:33-45 Nonconformity seen:
• Narcissism is exaggerated feelings of self-importance but has low self-esteem. A feeling that they deserve privileges and special treatment.
• Mark 10:33-34 Jesus will be delivered, mocked, flogged, killed, and will rise after three days.
• Mark 10:35-37 James and John ask that they may sit next to Jesus in His glory.
• Mark 10:38-45 Jesus teaches that, to be great, they must become servants… 45 For the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.
