In the story of Jesus going to the cross there is a subplot involving the custom in which a prisoner was set free.

What is our relatio...

People often have strong opinions about numerous subjects, but where do these opinions originate? Lack of facts and even spiritual truths abound in our culture, but the Bible clearly communicates what is undeniably true.

Continuing with our series “Mark My Words”, today Pastor Jodi teaches from Mark Ch. 10. “What must I do to be saved?” A young man, powerful and rich asks Jesus this question and when he realizes the obstacles to his salvation, he chooses the obstacles over the abundant life Jesus offered him. What are the obstacles in our hearts that keep us from full surrender to the Lord? Are we being held back...

Continuing with our series “Mark My Words”, today Pastor Jodi teaches from Mark Ch. 9 on how Jesus is a God of paradox—His Kingdom principle is that the way down is the way up and if we want to become great, we need to become servants to those who cannot repay us, nor serve us back.

Continuing with our series “Mark My Words”, today Pastor Jodi teaches from Mark Ch. 8 on how the life of a disciple is not an ordinary one. It is not merely a system of beliefs, but of action.

True fulfillment can come only in doing this, and there are practical means to understand what...
