The Kingdom of Humility - Mark 9:38-41

This morning we will be looking at Mark 9:38-41. The Kingdom of God, the better Kingdom that Jesus is building, is often marked differently than if we were to build our own, thankfully.  The biggest factor is ME.  And you.  We get in the way of building a better kingdom so often because we often seek our own self interest.  We want things our way, when we want them, and how we want them.  But Mark 9 will show us that Jesus is building a better kingdom because He seeks the ultimate good. So we can humbly submit to and proclaim Him and His better kingdom with joy. 

The Value of Life | Mark 1:40-45

We live in a time where human life is devalued. For example, this Wednesday (1/22) is the 47th anniversary of Roe v. Wade -- the court decision that legalized abortion in our country. What does the Bible say about the value of human life? What are we, as Christians, called to do today to preserve human life? We look to Mark 1:40-45 to help answer those questions and more.

A Glimpse of Glory | Mark 9:2-13

Losing Life to Gain It | Mark 8:27-9:1

What does it mean to die to oneself? How does one actually gain life through losing his or her life? How can self-denial be a source of joy and fulfillment in one's life?

The Time Has Come! | Galatians 4:4-5

This Sunday we continue in our Advent Series of the Alternate Birth Narratives of Jesus as we look at some of the other passages that speak of Jesus birth and incarnation. This Sunday we will be in Galatians 4:4-5. Galatians 4 is a beautiful picture of God's perfect timing in sending his Son, Jesus, into the world, who was born to redeem, and that redemption is more relational and familial then we think. It is an adoption. We are brought into the very family of God. Christmas is a time for joy, but not merely for presents, but that through adoption we are sons and daughters of the Most High God! Praise Jesus!

Meekness and Majesty - Philippians 2:5-11

The manger scene of Jesus’ birth shows his meekness and majesty: he came to us as a humble servant; yet he is honored as the King of Kings! See how this changes our lives as we look at Philippians 2:5-11.

An Alternate Birth Narrative | Revelation 12:1-6

Revelation 12 gives us a spiritual perspective of the Advent of Jesus. In the text, Satan (the dragon) tries to devour the child (Christ). How is Satan trying to devour you today? How does Jesus defend you? What does the text say about spiritual conflict? Come, listen and find out!

Joy to the World! | 1 John 1:1-4

Most us like Christmas: time off, gifts, family, food, and festivities. Yet, this season can be one that is joyless. In 1 John 1:1-4 we see that Jesus is born to give us life, both abundant and eternal, and that such life gives us much joy.

Clean On the Outside, Dirty On the Inside | Mark 7:1-23

Ever shove clutter into a closet? Swept dirt under the rug? We do that to make our living spaces look good before others. Yet, we cannot do that with God. He sees all things. And because he is holy, he cannot tolerate the dirt of sin in our lives. How do we get clean before God? Truly clean — inside and out? We look to Mark 7:1-23 to find out.

Drama at Christ's Company Picnic | Mark 6:30-45

The feeding of the 5,000, one of Jesus’s best-known miracles is often misunderstood—by us, but even by the disciples who witnessed it and participated in it! They think they are on a company retreat with their CEO, but Jesus miraculously challenges them to think about him in different terms: the Good Shepherd, the Bread of Life. Those feeling starved in their Christian service and ministry, take heart! Your Shepherd feeds you!

The Value of the Kingdom | Matthew 13:44-46

We want the better kingdom of Jesus to grow in our community! Yet, what are we willing to do to see that happen? How much should we sacrifice for God's kingdom? Some things? Or everything? We look to Matthew 13:44-46 to show us what it means to joyfully and generously pursue the kingdom of God.
