When Jesus says he’s come not for the healthy but the sick, what did he mean? This message shares who Jesus identifies as the sick, who serves as the doctor and how we as the church fit into His plan of healing.

The Bible is full of healing stories, leading us to wonder do miraculous healings still happen today? If so, why doesn't everyone get healed? Pastor Jim teaches from Mark 2 as we examine those questions and how Jesus’ concern for our spiritual well-being directs His actions.

In this message, Pastor Jim explains what drives Jesus’ ministry. We look at the heart of Jesus and how compassion not only changes us but also those we interact with.

This message is an encouragement to model our prayer lives after the example we see in Jesus. Just as He got away early in the morning to realign His life with the mission of God in prayer, we too should start our days seeking after Him.

Have you ever wondered about the connection between physical illnesses and our spiritual battle? Looking at Mark 1:29-34, Pastor Jim teaches us about this very intersection between the physical and the spiritual.

In this message, Pastor Jim encourages us to see the invitation Jesus offers the disciples in a new light. Using a modern day example of leaving one job for a potentially better offer, we see the call of the disciples in a fresh way.

We join the kingdom of God when we acknowledge and affirm God as King in our lives. But have we continued to live as members of his kingdom? Or are we seeking to follow other leaders who require less?

In this message Pastor Tom takes us to Mark 1 as we look at Jesus’ baptism. We learn why the Son of God, the sinless one, would need to be baptized and what it means for our own journey of faith.

In this message, Pastor Jim takes examines the introduction of Mark’s gospel. In it we learn about just what the good news about Jesus Christ is and examine what this news means for us today.

“Do you know who Jesus is? Have you ever wondered if there’s more to what you know? This week Pastor Jim introduces us to the next book of our series, the Gospel of Mark, and encouraged us to see Jesus through new eyes.”

This week we close out the book of Esther by seeing how faithful, audacious prayer can lead to the greatest reversal of our circumstances. God is faithful and he has a great eucatastrophe waiting for all of us.

In this message, Pastor Tom continues in the book of Esther looking at the conflict between Haman, Mordecai and Esther. In it, we will learn about God’s sovereignty and gain principles to help within our own conflicts and battles.

Do you ever feel like your life is out of control? This week we continue in our Stories of Redemption series as we look at the life of Esther. We see how the answer to a life out of control may be different than what we think and how God’s resurrection power can meet our needs.

How do our choices to obey or disobey God affect our journey of faith? This week Pastor Jim speaks into that very question as we continue in the book of Esther and look at the story of Mordecai.

This message continues our Rescued, Restored, Ready series and is the first in the book of Esther. As we see God work in a more subtle way throughout this story, we are offered an opportunity to experience his presence in a different way.
