In this passage, Pastor Kelvin continues his teaching through the Gospel of Mark, examining the arrest and trial of Jesus before the Jewish religious leaders, alongside Peter’s denial of Christ.

While Jesus stands firm in the face of false accusations and injustice, Pet...

In this continuation of his teaching through the Gospel of Mark, Pastor Kelvin takes us from the Upper Room to the Garden of Gethsemane.

By tying these events to Old Testament prophecy, including Zechariah’s word that the Shepherd would be st...

In this message from Mark 13:1-30, Pastor Kelvin M. Smith walks through the Olivet Discourse, where Jesus leaves the temple for the last time and tells His disciples that not one stone will be left on another.

In this message from Mark 12:35-44, Pastor Kelvin closes out Jesus' final round of confrontations in the temple with a question of His own, a warning about the scribes, and a widow who gives everything she has.

In this message from Mark 12:13-34, Pastor Kelvin walks through three questions aimed at Jesus in the temple in the final days before the cross.

Jesus feeds 4,000 people with seven loaves and a few small fish — and immediately after, the Pharisees show up demanding a sign to prove who He is. Sound familiar? We do the same thing: overlooking the everyday evidence of God's presence while demanding something spectacular to believe. In this message from Mark 8:1-21, we look at: • Jesus' compassion for the crowd — and for you • Why &q...

Drawing on the theme of citizenship, he shows how many believers are still waiting for something they've already been given access to. The real issue isn't absence — it's awareness. Pastor Kelvin...

What do you do when the need is greater than your resources? In Mark 6, the disciples face an impossible situation: thousands of hungry people, limited resources, and no clear solution. Yet Jesus demonstrates His compassion, power, and provision as He feeds the multitude, walks on water, and heals the sick. The greatest lesson isn't simply that Jesus can do miracles—it's that the discipl...
