Would you go all the way for Jesus? Who was the first person Jesus revealed Himself to after His resurrection? His mom? Peter? John, his closest friend? It was really the only one that followed Jesus all the way. Will you do it?

Happy New Year 2025 - Christ's Passion for us was singularly ferocious. He never took His eye off us. As you make your commitments for 2025 that will bring you closer to Christ, go after them with everything you have. I want you to know that wholeheartedly, with a focused mind, do that which you have committed to do. Just like Jesus, do not take your eyes off the target.

There are a lot of things going through our lives. A lot of stress. A lot of strife. A lot of pain. A lot of conflict. Christ came to replace those things with His peace. Take a listen and maybe you can learn how to replace the things in your life that are weighing you down with the abundant peace that God has waiting for you. Merry Christmas!!

How is your character? Are you living a blameless life? How is your relationship? Another challenge here to model our life after Christ. After the most intense scrutiny Jesus ever went through, he remained sinless and blameless. There was no guilt in Him. Be like Jesus.

It is the night before Jesus Christ is crucified. Jesus is beaten by the religious leadership and Mark & Peter are naked and afraid. It is one wild and revealing night. 

If you were to keep watch for Jesus, would you? Would you stay alert, or would you fall asleep? It turns out there was another reason that Jesus wanted the disciples to stay awake, stay alert, and keep watch.

The disciples were blown away when they found out that one of them would betray Jesus. Peter, too, was dismayed when Jesus said that he would deny Christ. Peter was the main disciple; how could this be possible? Toward the end of the Chapel service, four of the disciples share how they might have felt the moment Jesus said that one of them would betray Him.

Sometimes, you get stuck with a decision that should be easy to make, but you doubt it. Make the wrong choice so you can get your way, or make the right choice, which God would have you do. Which way do you go?

What will you remembered for? What kind of legacy will you leave behind? What have you done for Jesus that people will remember you for? What have you done that has honored God in a big way?

A breakaway message is a break from the series i'm involved in. My ministry has emergencies at times and also requires a lot of time. Sometimes I don't have enough time to prepare so I will do something from my Master's Program or something simple that God has laid on my heart. This is from the Prophet Haggai! The children of Israel were to be rebuilding the Temple - The House of God. They decided...

A couple of days before Jesus's execution, a few of His disciples asked Him about the end of days. And this is what He shares.....

This is a breakaway message, meaning that I should be teaching on the book of Mark in the series Mark by Mark. However, I am in a Master's Program, and sometimes, my study time for the book of Mark or any other series I might be reading is non-existent. I recently studied the book of Jeremiah. It was an overview. I was really impressed by Jeremiah's fortitude. No matter what kind of trial he was g...

This podcast starts w/ a quick overvies of what Son of David means and then a warnin about scribes and false teachers today. The main focus is on the widow's mite. One penny she gave. She gave more than all the avg. people and rich people. She gave everything. If is your finances a ball and chain to you? Are you trusting God with your money? How much of your money is yours and how much is God's. A...

How is your vertical relationship w/ God? Is it solid? Does it exist at all? How is your horizontal relationship w/ people? How are you to act towards people? Who is the one true God? Do you know? Take a listen and hear what God has to say about all these questions. :)

Have you ever asked ridiculous questions about things that don't matter. Or asking crazy questions at the wrong time. Well once again the religious leaders come to Jesus with a really ridiculous question to try to stump Him. Here is what happens.

What do we owe our government, and what do we owe God? Maybe answers lie here in this podcast.

Our first parable to be told in Mark. This story shows the patience once again of God and then what happens at the end of his patience. We are left with some good options for living with people you do good to, and then they return your good with evil.

God is extremely patient. He is more patient than anyone on this earth. But his patience will not last forever. It would not be wise to see how long his patience lasts. 

Breakaway, meaning, stepping away from the MarkxMark series for a weekend. The "Messiah Trap". What is that? It is basically doing things for Jesus without Jesus. The podcast will explain.

We all have struggled with this: thinking that God does not hear our prayers or doesn't care. Neither is true. God does care more than we can possibly comprehend. And He hears every word. So why does it seem that way to us so many times? Well, all the answers are in this podcast! Haha! Well, some answers. I hope it helps. :) 

Are you bearing fruit in your life? Are you growing and maturing? Don't mock God by saying you are a part of His family and then living a total different lifestyle. And...if you are not a part of God's family don't mock God. There is never a good time to make fun of God. I challenge you to know HIM and put your faith in HIM. If you are already in His family and are off course a bit, jump back on t...

The Triumphal entry was not what I thought it was all these years. What the people wanted and what Jesus was doing were two different things. At the moment, the people wanted a King, but Jesus needed to be a Savior. He always knows better what we need than we do. No matter what you think or feel, follow Him. The Bible says that without FAITH we cannot please Him.

Aaron Dreher Memorial Service on July 19, 2024 at Church at Viera, Florida. It starts off with a message by Mark Merical (me) and then the family shares. Melanie (Aaron's wife), Brady (son - 21), Avery Part 1 (Son - 18), Ella (daughter - 14), and Jojhn Ludwig, Aaron's life-time best friend, then Avery part 2.

What is more important, physical healing or spiritual healing? Are they equally important? Which one lasts longer? What do you think?

In God's economy our desire to climb over everyone to get to the top will never work. Well, it might work but it won't bring any joy. God tells us if we want to first we need to be a servant and a slave to get where we want to be. It's interesting. Take a listen.
