Out With the Old, In With the New | Mark 11:12-26

In Mark 11:12-25, we see Jesus curse a fig tree. That seems odd to us, but it teaches us how Jesus' new kingdom is radically better than the old. It is the difference of living in freedom under the Spirit versus living in slavery under the Law. Listen and find out how to enter that new kingdom and experience its freedom.

Wealth, Impossibility, and the Kingdom | Mark 10:17-31

Jesus says it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God. Wow! Who then can be saved? Find out how all things are possible with God as we study Mark 10:17-31.

Children and the Better Kingdom | Mark 10:13-16

It is an understatement to say that raising children is difficult. Yet, we are not alone in the task! In Mark 10:13-16, Jesus affirms that he is for our children and that he gives us, both as parents and as a church, much grace to help our kids know and love God.

Faithfulness in Marriage | Mark 10:1-12

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

In Mark 9:2-13, we read that the disciples get a glimpse of Jesus' glory as he is transfigured before them. How does this event help us to not only understand God's glory but even enjoy it? Listen and find out!

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? Find out the answers to these questions as we look at Jesus' teaching on taking up the cross and following him in Mark 8:27-9:1.

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.
