And we all are called to come to Jesus with humility and receive His grace. Do I believe that Jesus cares for me? How do I respond to that truth?

Pastor Tom shares from Mark 7:31-37. His goal and prayer for us is to be astonished at the works of God and for us to begin begging God to display His works.

Am I astonished at the work of God?

How can I make a habit of begging God to display His works?

We continue our study of the character of Jesus Christ from Mark 7:1-13. In this passage, Jesus has a debate with the Pharisees over whether God's Word or man's traditions are more important. We will be challenged to think about whether what we do is more in line with our traditions or with the Word of God.

Are the decisions I make in line with God's Word?

How do I know that?

In this sermon we look at Jesus walking on water from Mark 6:45-56. This miracle challenges the disciples' understanding of who Jesus is. In the same way, we will be challenged by Jesus' power and discuss the impact a relationship with the Son of God can have in our lives. What do I really believe about Jesus Christ? What difference does that belief make in my life?

Josh Wines continues our study of the Gospel of Mark in Mark 6:30-44 by looking at the person of Jesus in the story of the feeding of the five thousand. Here we can see that Jesus is a God of compassion. He shows that compassion by meeting our intimate needs. As disciples of Jesus, we also should look for ways to serve those around us by bringing them to the One who can fully satisfy all of their needs.
As you prepare for the message, please read the passage and ask yourself: How does Jesus meet my needs? What needs of others can I meet in a way that shows Christ's compassion?

In this sermon we will deal with the reality that both the followers of God and their Savior are often despised and rejected by men. The world rejects the good news of the gospel because they do not like how it calls us to repent/turn from sin and come to faith in Christ. Nevertheless, we are to continue doing God's good will in the world and telling others about the good news that Jesus was rejected so that we might be accepted by God.

We return to the Gospel of Mark and examine a profound comparison in Mark 5:21-43. In this account, two individuals have an experience that forces them to trust Jesus. How each of them responded teaches us about the kind of trust that Jesus is worth. As they learn to trust Jesus, so will we.

How much do I trust Jesus?

What does trusting Jesus look like in my life?

We start the year 2023 off with a reminder of our faith, specifically the God we worship, God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit, and how we can encourage one another to grow in that belief. As you prepare for the message, read the passage and ask yourself:How can I encourage other believers in 2023?
