Pastor Mike Dahl begins a new series through the story of Ruth.

Dr. Josh Mathews concludes our series through 1 Peter with the apostle's exhortation to elders to shepherd the flock, members to submit, and all to humble themselves under the mighty hand of God.

Dr. Todd Miles echoes Peter's encouragement to Christians facing persecution. Though we live in an anomalously comfortable time and place, we are promised trials in this world, and we entrust ourselves to our faithful Creator as we do good.

Pastor Mike Dahl brings a message of exhortation to persevere in hope in times of trials, remembering that Christ also suffered in the flesh. The time is past for fitting into a world that is coming to an end; we live to honor God with the days we are given.

"But even if you should suffer for righteousness’ sake, you will be blessed. Have no fear of them, nor be troubled, but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you..."

Remembering that Peter has been ecouraging Christians that find themselves in vulnerable situations, he speaks to husbands and wives, encouraging them to live in an orderly way, honoring one another as fellow heirs of the grace of life.

Dr. Todd Miles repeats to us Peter's encouragment to elect exiles, to place our trust in God as we live faithfully under this world's authorities.

Peter continues his letter of encouragement to displaced and troubled Christians, reminding them that scripture spoke long ago of what has come to pass,. Though men have rejected God's chosen foundation, He continues to build His house.

Dr. Todd Miles brings a message from 1 Peter 1, where the apostle calls believers to holiness in light of the future hope secured by the costly blood of Christ.

Setting aside our series through the book of Mark for a time, after having just heard Peter's confession, we turn to 1 Peter where the apostle encourages a group of "elect exiles" who are suffering various trials. He reminds them that God has not been caught off guard, he is still in control, and we can take hold of His solid promises when our right now feels uncertain.

After a two-part healing of a blind man where he begins to see but then sees more clearly, Jesus asks the disciples who people say he is and who they believe him to be. At this point, they can make out that he is the Christ, but they need to see him even more cleary.

With all that has already taken place in the book of Mark, the Pharisees come asking for "a sign from heaven", and the disicples, after watching Jesus feed thousands—twice—are still worried that they didn't bring enough bread. Do we have faith greater than these?

As we meet outdoors for GBC Day 2025, Dr. Todd Miles brings a message from Mark 8 where Jesus again miraculously feeds a multitude.

Pastor Mike Dahl brings a message from Mark 7 where we see two accounts of people begging Jesus for help.

When confronted by Jewish leaders regarding his disciples eating with unwashed hands, Jesus calls out their hypocricy and explains what truly makes one defiled.

As the disciples are struggilng to cross the sea, in the midst of a choatic storm, in the dark of night, Jesus comes to them, walking on the waves.

After the disciples return from being sent out, they go with Jesus to an islolated place to rest. But, crowds show up seeking Jesus, and being moved with compassion, he teaches them and then feeds them.

In Mark 7, Jesus sends out the 12 disciples with authority over unclean spirits to heal and proclaim repentance. When Herod hear of this, he assumed John the Baptist, whom he had beheaded, had come back to life.

Dr. Todd Miles continues through the book of Mark, where Jesus returns to his hometown and does no mighty work there while marveling at the people's unbelief.

Pastor Mike Dahl opens the word of God to us, where in the 5th chapter of Mark, we see one story of two miraculous healings.

Dr. Todd Miles brings a message from the fifth chapter of Mark, where Jesus delivers a man possessed by a "Legion" of demons.

Pastor Mike Dahl opens the fourth chapter of Mark, where Jesus calms the storm on the Sea of Galilee and the disciples are filled with great fear.

Jordan Bradley brings a message from chapter 4 of Mark, a chapter full of Jesus' parables.

In the third chapter of Mark, Jesus is accused of being out of his mind, casting out demons by the power of Satan, and speaks of what has come to be thought of as the "unpardonable sin".
