The one in which we talk about the Crusades.

What kind of opposition have you seen to Jesus? As we saw Jesus’ fame spreading last week, this week we’ll see the response to that fame from an unlikely source: Jesus’ family. We’ll also see increasing opposition from the scribes. Join us Sunday as we look at how we can ensure we’re not opposing Jesus from Mark 3:20-35 .

We’ll be slowing down our rapid pace through Mark this week to contemplate Jesus’ spreading fame and His response. So often in ministry we look to numbers as a validation, but Jesus actively runs away from the numbers. What can we learn from Jesus’ approach to ministry today, and what do we make of the list of Jesus’ 12 disciples? Join us Sunday as we find out from Mark 3:7-19 together. Click HERE...

The one in which we talk about fasting and the Sabbath.

You may have heard that Jesus’ coming changes everything. While that’s true, how do we practically live out that reality day to day? How do we submit to Jesus as Lord over every area of our lives instead of merely going through the motions? As we continue our series in Mark 2:18-3:6 this week we’ll see what it means for Jesus to be Lord over everything.

The one in which we talk about the connection between faith and healing.

Last week we saw the primary focus of Jesus’ ministry being teaching, which continues through this week’s text. Yet in the midst of teaching, Jesus brings healing to people struggling from a wide assortment of maladies. How did Jesus bring healing to every area of people’s lives, and how should we look for healing from Jesus today? Mark 2:1-17 will show us how Jesus engaged in holistic healing.

Week 2 of Mark will take us through Mark 1:21-45 . Mark will continue zipping us along through the beginning of Jesus’ ministry. If you were to describe the primary focus of Jesus’ earthly ministry, how would you describe it? In this passage, we’ll see what Jesus thought of his primary focus and how he lived that focus out.

The one in which we talk about baptism.

We’ll begin our new series looking at the Gospel according to Mark this week! That means we’ll be spending most of the next year walking through this book. This week we’ll start at the very beginning where we see how the way was prepared for Jesus, then move to the inauguration of Jesus’ ministry. Unlike the other Gospel accounts, Mark gives us very little detail about Jesus’ birth and instead cho...

The one in which we talk about money.

I decided to expand our “Theological Tune Up” series by one more week to deal with everyone’s favorite dinner table topic: money. What does the Bible say about money, how do we faithfully use money, and why do churches talk about “tithing”? This week we’ll be taking a look at a number of passages that talk about money and help us understand why God cares so much about what we spend our money on.

The one is which we talk about transgenderism.

One of the cultural hot topics of our day is transgenderism. Real hurt has led to confusion around gender and identity in our world today. How does affirming God’s image in us give hope to those struggling with their own identity? And how can we be full of grace and truth towards those who are hurting without compromising what God says about our creation as male and female? Join us as we begin to...
