Join us today as we finish out the Gospel of Mark. Today Pastor Derek leads us through the final parts of chapter 16. Today we walk through understanding that all of us are called to to the life of a missionary, not just to be sent around the world, but to function as an everyday missionary right where God has placed you.

The resurrection of Jesus from the dead is the single most impactful moment in history. It should also be the source of our confidence in all of life's circumstances and courage to live on mission to make disciples.

Listen along this week as Pastor Derek walks us through Mark 15:33-47. In today's sermon we reflect on Jesus on the cross. God truly loved you so much that he was willing to have his Son die for you that he might love you in a close relationship as He had originally designed things to be.

In the Gospel, Jesus takes the place of the guilty and the guilty go free. In Mark 15:1-15 there is a great injustice against Jesus when Barabbas is set free and Jesus takes his place in prison and on the cross. In this scandalous of story of injustice we see the story of grace. We are Barabbas and Jesus takes our guilt and give us his innocence.

The gathering of the church is essential for your spiritual health. This week as we conclude our first 4 weeks looking at the spiritual disciplines. You need the weekly gathering of the church and the church needs you in the weekly gathering.

The delight our souls long for is found only in God. Over these first four weeks of 2024 we are walking through the spiritual disciplines as the means of putting ourselves in the pathway of delight through intimacy with God. We hope you are encouraged by this week's sermon on prayer as the pathway into intimacy with God.

Through the story of Rahab hiding the spies in Joshua 2, we see how to follow the Lord with faith even through moments of life that cause fear to rise up within us. We hope this sermon helps you to see how we can have faith in the Lord through all circumstances in life.

In the Story of Redemption we find the Israelites rejecting God as their king and asking for a human king. We too have rejected God as king. Deep within us, we all long for a better king. God planned and provided the king our hearts long for in the baby in the manger at Christmas.

As the story of redemption unfolds, it focuses on one family, the family of Abraham. This family grows into a large nation but find themselves in Egypt as slaves. But God brought them out of slavery by the blood of a spotless lamb. All of this points forward, to the Advent of the Savior, who was the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world.

The Story of Redemption begins in Genesis 1 with God creating everything good, reflecting his own character and nature. The good of creation is short lived as sin enters in. Mankind is enslaved to sin and in need of redemption. Even in the dawn of sin, God promised to provide a redeemer. As we look forward to Christmas, the baby we celebrate in the manger is the promised redeemer.

Disciples of Jesus fail and sin against the Lord. The Mark of a disciple is what they do when they sin. Disciples of Jesus; feel the weight of their sin, confess their sin, remember the gospel, and walk in repentance.

This is a difficult and often miss-interpreted passage of scripture that deserves our attention. What these prophecies reveals to us at large is that we can trust God with the future of our lives and need not grow alarmed.

Have you ever wondered which example is the right example to follow? In Mark 12:38-44 we have a wonderful example of what type of faith behaviors are actually the type that pleases the Lord.

When you think about how seriously you take your own sin. . . . how does that play out for you?
