Eric Parker – who has the power to calm the wind and waves? Mark seems to go out of his way to show us who Jesus is.

Jimmy Davis – In the parable of the seed and sower, Jesus tells us that the gospel is the seed that changes everything. Do we have ears to hear it?

Jimmy Davis – Sermon Blurb: In our second look at Mark 3:7-35, we learn that Mark wants us to know Jesus as the King of a New Community.

Jimmy Davis – In our first look at Mark 3:7-35, we learn that Mark wants us to know Jesus as the King of a New Creation.

Nathan Carico – Jesus confronts the Pharisees and exposes their abuse of the Sabbath as an attempt to find rest from oppression. He declares that he is the one who controls the Sabbath. What implications does this have for who Jesus is and how we find true rest?

Jimmy Davis – In three short stories Mark shows us how Jesus is both willing and able to make us clean.

Jimmy Davis – As we continue in Psalm 78, Asaph will use the story of Israel to show us a few flashing lights on the dashboard of our lives that will reveal something going wrong under the hood in our hearts. Every generation needs to hear the story Asaph will tell us.

Jimmy Davis - In Psalm 78 Asaph is concerned about the loss of a generation that learns, loves, and lives in the true Story of the only True and Living God.

Jimmy Davis – In Psalm 127 we learn that we are called to depend on Jesus as we disciple and deploy our church's children as “weapons of mass renewal” who will be ambassadors for the Kingdom into future times and distance places.

Eric Parker - Psalm 122 is a Song of Ascents, which the people of Israel would sing on the way to celebrate the three annual feasts in Jerusalem. This Psalm shapes the way worship each week, and it points us forward to our future hope in Christ.

Jimmy Davis- The Psalms help us learn how to respond to reality. Many psalms equip us to respond with lament, grief, and questions to the reality of trouble in our world and our hearts. Psalm 145 is one of many psalms that help us respond with praise and thanksgiving to the reality that God redeems and renews our troubled world and hearts.

Jimmy Davis - Though we don’t know the specific ’troubles’ that were wrapping Asaph in a straitjacket of distress, we all know how it feels when the troubles in our world and heart cause us to wonder if God will remain faithful to love us. Psalm 77 gives us an idea of how Asaph found strength to trust God’s love in his present troubles.

Jimmy Davis - Doubt is not the same as unbelief, but it can lead to unbelief. Doubt is not the opposite of faith but can actually lead to a deeper faith. In Psalm 73, Asaph shows us to doubt toward God in a way that deepens our faith in Him.

Jimmy Davis – Psalm 32 reminds us that gladness waits for us on the other side of our guilt, and it is the truest and sweetest of all gladness, the gladness that is only found in the embrace of God’s forgiving love. Are we willing to walk the path of repentant faith that takes us from guilt to gladness?

Jimmy Davis – Let Psalm 126 shape you into one who feels your grief, prays your grief, and plants your grief in the tears of love that Jesus poured out for you, and He will make His joy grow in your desert.

Jimmy Davis – What do we do with the anger that sometimes burns inside us? According to David, we're in danger of fanning the flames of even our righteous, holy anger until it turns into unrighteous, sinful anger. Thankfully, in Psalm 37 he gives us three other flames to kindle instead.

Robert Row – What does it look like to be aware of our complete dependence on Jesus? What would it do for our relationships if, before we said anything, we asked the Father, "should I say this?" We need to look at the person of Jesus and his complete dependence on the Father.

Tim Tinsley – Over and over in the gospel accounts of the life of Jesus, we read that he calls people to follow him and make disciples. Who in our city is making disciples? Who are you discipling? Who is discipling you?

Jimmy Davis - What do we do with our fear? Do we whistle a happy tune and make believe we're brave? Maybe, but in Psalm 3 David shows us a better way. Whenever we are afraid we can tell God we're afraid and why, then we can turn our hearts to Him and trust that He is our shield, our glory, and the lifter of our head.

Dr. Gary Phillips – All too often we identify God’s blessing with good circumstances in our lives. If things are going well, then clearly God is pleased with me (and, of course, I am pleased with Him)! But if things are not going well, then we are tempted to feel like either we are out of God’s will, or that God has abandoned us. But Acts 16 provides us with a fascinating case study of how God may...

Jimmy Davis – Of all the things Peter could say to conclude his first letter to the churches, he chose to say, “Wake up church! The universe is at war.” So, what do we do? We resist the enemy now by standing firm in the good news that in Jesus God’s heart for us is good, while we wait for the restoration and glory that Jesus has promised will come.

Jimmy Davis - Church relationships can be beautiful or broken, often both at the same time. Too often we church folks treat one another as enemies. Peter knows this and exhorts the church’s shepherds and sheep to clothe themselves with humility toward one another, a humility that only comes from being under the mighty hand of our Chief Shepherd Jesus, who wrapped himself in humility for us, his en...

Stephen Jones - Christians can do death. In fact, we are called to die with Christ. The reason we can do death and suffering is because of the resurrection of Jesus and His promise that through our suffering and sacrifice, we will be rewarded in this life and the next.

Jimmy Davis - In 1 Peter 4:12-19, Peter reminds us that when we suffer ‘fiery trials’ for putting Jesus on display by the way we live and love, we are being refined by that suffering to put Jesus on display in that suffering.
