Seeing Jesus Clearly, Following Jesus Faithfully (Mark 8:13-38)
Mark 8:13-38
Today we arrive at a very significant moment in Mark's gospel. Peter confesses Jesus as the Christ. Yet the disciples - including Peter - still aren't clearly seeing who Jesus is and what He's come to do. In this message, we discover that as we come to see Jesus more clearly, we see our need for grace more clearly. And we see our responsibility to follow Him more clearly.

5/23/21 – The Floodgates are Opened (Mark 7:24-8:12)
Mark 7:24 - 8:12
Bible Text: Mark 7:24 - 8:12Series: Mark | The Bible is filled with contrasting pairs like darkness and light. Today, we see a clear contrast between those who respond to Jesus with humility and those who respond with pride. And yet Christian humility is distinct from what others may think humility can be. We'll see how both humility and boldness come into play as the door of salvation opens wide to Gentiles.

Mark 6:1-29
Bible Text: Mark 6:1-29Series: Mark | John the Baptist's life comes to an end, and Jesus' rejection in His hometown foreshadows His coming rejection on the cross. Yet God's mission on earth is renewed as Jesus sends out His disciples to preach that people should repent of sin.

Mark 4:35-5:20
Bible Text: Mark 4:35-5:20 | The accounts of Jesus calming a storm and healing a demon-possessed man have some interesting things in common. They press us to think about how we can experience God's peace now, even as we wait for it to come in full.

Matthew 21:1-11
Bible Text: Matthew 21:1-11 | On Palm Sunday, Jesus entered Jerusalem in humility, riding on a donkey. Yet He also entered Jerusalem in power, as a promised King. We consider the wonderful paradox at the heart of Jesus' entry into Jerusalem and what it means for our lives.

Mark 3:7-20
Bible Text: Mark 3:7-20Series: Mark | As word gets out about Jesus' healings, a great crowd comes to him. But Jesus is not merely looking for fans who are impressed by His powers. Jesus withdraws to a mountain, where He calls just twelve to be with Him.

1 Corinthians 1:2

Psalm 2 - A Refuge Amidst the Uproar
Psalm 2
Bible Text: Psalm 2Series: Psalms | At first glance, Psalm 2, with its kings and rulers, seems very different from Psalm 1. Yet both reveal a fork in the road that lies in front of every human being. Will you turn from the sinful rebellion of this world and find joyful refuge in Jesus?

1/17/21 - Jesus the Great Physician (Mark 1:40-2:17)
Mark 1:40 - 2:17
Bible Text: Mark 1:40 - 2:17Series: Mark | Here we see Jesus heal both a leper and a paralytic. Then He calls a new disciple, Levi the tax collector. As religious leaders question Jesus for spending time with "tax collectors and sinners," Jesus draws a surprising connection between the healings He has performed and the company He keeps. "It is not those who are healthy who need a physician," Jesus says, "But those who are sick. I came not to call the righteous, but sinners."

Jesus gets a response from all who encounter Him. In this passage, Jesus demonstrates His power over both the visible and the invisible. Like the disciples He calls, we have to ask ourselves, will we follow Jesus whatever the cost?

We see Mary and Joseph, faithful sojourners, who travel to Bethlehem for the birth of the Savior Jesus Christ. And then we see the response of the shepherds who receive the Good News.
