One way to view the parables is to read them and think, “That’s what I need to do to get my act together.” Doing so, we make these stories with meaning about us. The parables aren’t so much about us, but about the amazing grace and wonderful mercy of God who is drawing us to himself. There’s no better story with a deeper meaning than that!  This week's message is led by Terry Thomas and is ab...

“The Temple & Gethsemane”  In this last episode of “On Your Mark” Jesus talks about the temple being destroyed and his second coming.  Later, Jesus tells the disciples that they will all soon abandon Him, but Peter dares to correct Jesus.  The Garden of Gethsemane awaits where Jesus will pray in great distress, while his disciples struggle to stay awake. Thank you for listening! This podcast i...

“A Fig Tree & Temple Cleansing” Mark 11:12-25 Jesus does his last miracle in Mark and it’s one of destruction.  What’s up with that?  Then he goes and becomes the temple bouncer.  What kind of lessons can we learn from these stories about following Jesus? Thank you for listening! This podcast is a production of the Providence Road Church of Christ in Charlotte, NC.  Music by Daniel Reed

“Follow The Leader” Mark 8:31-38; 9:30-37; 10:32-45 Jesus spends some intentional time with the disciples challenging their paradigms and preconceptions about Jesus.  What does it mean to follow the leader?  What we think and believe about Jesus determines how we serve Him and live out our lies for Him. Thank you for listening! This podcast is a production of the Providence Road Church of Christ i...

“He Has Done All Things Well”—Mark 7:24-37  Jesus engages a worried woman in an unforgettable conversation, and his replies seem a bit out of character.  Or are they? Then Jesus returns to the Decapolis to heal a man in some unconventional ways, that leaves the crowd to say, “He has done everything well." Thank you for listening! This podcast is a production of the Providence Road Church of C...

“The Lesson of the Loaves”—Mark 6:30-52  Jesus and his disciples need some rest but can’t find.  He does find a few thousand people who are like “sheep without shepherds” and He feeds their souls and bodies.  Following the miracle, the disciples get caught in another storm, but Jesus shows up doing what only God could do (Job 9:8). Thank you for listening! This podcast is a production of the Provi...

“Break on Through to the Other Side” (Mark 4:35-5:20) This series of stories illustrate the authority and power of Jesus.  He is Lord over nature, the demonic, sickness and death.  Mark shows us that Jesus can be trusted because He is Lord over all. Thank you for listening! This podcast is a production of the Providence Road Church of Christ in Charlotte, NC.  Music by Daniel Reed

Jesus’ ministry continues to grow.  He calls a new disciple and controversy ensues because of who Jesus is reclining and eating with.  More altercations follow as Jesus seems (at least to the religious leaders) to violate the Sabbath—the heart of orthodox observance.  Enemies become friends in order to destroy Jesus.  Get “On Your Mark”. Thank you for listening! This podcast is a production of the...

Episode 2:  A Day in the Life… An entire day is captured for us in the life of Jesus.  Jesus goes to church, heals people, casts out demons, and demands their silence.  He doesn’t just claim authority, He proves it.  A leper is healed but cannot follow the simple instructions of Jesus.  WHY? These and other questions are discussed in this episode of “On Your Mark.” Thank you for listening! This po...

Mark is the gospel of action! It moves quickly with a sense of immediacy and urgency. This episode focuses on the ministry of John the Baptist, the baptism of Jesus and His temptations in the desert. Join Dennis Conner & Kent Massey for this journey!  Thank you for listening! This podcast is a production of the Providence Road Church of Christ in Charlotte, NC.  Music by Daniel Reed

A "rule of life" or "rhythm of life" is simply a set of practices or a structure we create to help us consistently create space in our busy lives to experience God's presence and love. In a perfect world, we would all have the self-control to maintain deep relationship with Jesus all the time, but unfortunately we lose our way fairly often. A rule of life is like a trellis...

A Song of Praise—The last few chapters of 2 Samuel are an assortment of stories not necessarily chronological, but certainly theological in nature.  Kent & Dennis walk through the beautiful song of salvation that David writes for his people in 2 Samuel 22 that celebrates God’s actions to save His beloved.  David celebrates God’s mercy with thanksgiving.
