In Chapter 12 of Mark, we look at a scene in four parts where Jesus is being question by religious professionals, a warning about them to the disciples, then in contrast, a widow giving "all she had".

On this Easter Sunday, we look at the historical event of Jesus' resurrection. If he was not raised from the dead, our faith is useless. But, if he did get up from the dead, we must deal with what that means for us and how we must respond.

On this Friday before Resurrection Sunday, we look forward a few chapters from our place in Mark to spend some time reflecting on when the King came and was coronated with thorns when we nailed this king to a cross for insurrection.

In Mark 12, Jesus is in a confrontation with religious leaders where his authority is challenged. They perceive that his parable of the wicked tenants is against them, and they respond with trap questions regarding taxes and the resurrection.

Pastor Mike Dahl brings a message from chapter 11 of the gospel of Mark, where Jesus cleanses the temple and curses the fig tree.

In chapter 11 of Mark, we look at the scene where Jesus enters Jerusalem to shouts of "Save us!" followed by a strange cursing of a fig tree that didn't have fruit when it wasn't the season for figs.

Pastor Mike Dahl opens chapter 10 of Mark to us, where we find two scenes where Jesus is being asked to do something and responds with the question, "What do you want me to do for you?"

Pastor Mike Dahl looks at two contrasting scenes in Mark. In one, little children come to Jesus, and in the other, a rich man goes away sorrowful.

In chapter 10 of Mark, we see a group of religious leaders putting Jesus to the test with a question, "Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?"

Pastor Jordan Bradley brings a message from a section of Mark where the disciples are arguing with one another about which of them was greatest, and what Jesus has to say about this.

How much faith is enough? What is faith anyway? Pastor Mike opens chapter 9 of Mark where faith is challenged, and we see a desperate father responding to Jesus, "I believe; help my unbelief!"

Dr. Todd Miles picks up a series in the book of Mark from last fall. In chapter 9, we look at the transfiguration of Jesus.

Pastor Mike brings a message from Psalm 90, where the writer reflects on God's greatness compared to our short, mortal lives.

Dr. Todd Miles brings us a message from Psalm 8 where the psalmist marvels at God through His creation, and marvels further that God even notices or remembers man.

Pastor Mike Dahl continues a series in the psalms with a psalm of praise.

In the new year, we return again to a series in the Psalms, with an invitation to "taste and see that the Lord is good".

Pastor Mike Dahl brings a message highlighting the vital importance of not only singing, but singing together, as the local manifestation of the universal church and the body of Christ.

On this Christmas Eve, we consider again the beauty and power of the first coming of Jesus Christ and it's cosmic implications for, and beyond, our world.

What is ultimately best for us, is not always what seems immediately good to us. Generation after generation, for over 700 years, the people of God waited for Micah's words to be fulfilled. Waiting is hard. But as we wait and endure suffering, having a promise becomes a lifeline to hold onto and a reminder that God has not forgotten his people, and is working toward our good.

Pastor Mike Dahl brings a message from Isaiah 61, the same passage Jesus read announcing the beginning of his ministry—bringing good news to the poor, freeing captives, binding up the broken-hearted, and proclaiming the year of the Lord's favor.

On this second Sunday of Advent, we look at Jesus as the promised priest. What does that look like? Is Jesus even qualified to be a priest?

Dr. Todd Miles concludes this short series in Ruth with her redemption.

In Ruth 3, she stealthily, yet boldly, approaches Boaz in the dark of night with a strange-to-us gesture that Boaz understands to be a proposal.
