A Commission to Believe with Rich Dugan

What should we expect when we step into the way and mission of Jesus? Teaching from Matthew 28:18–20, Rich Dugan explores the Great Commission not as a distant command, but as an invitation into a life where Jesus is present, active, and still transforming people through ordinary faithfulness.

The Way We Grow

Jesus describes the kingdom of God as something both visible and mysterious - like light that cannot stay hidden or seeds slowly becoming something far greater than they first appeared. As we surrender ourselves to Him day by day, Jesus grows something in us that eventually grows beyond us. From Mark 4:21-34.

What Takes Root

Jesus tells a story that reveals more than it explains—why the same message is heard by many but takes root in few. It’s not about striving, but becoming the kind of people who receive it deeply. What takes root in us shapes what grows out of us. From Mark 4:1–20.

Who Jesus Sits With

Jesus sees a man everyone else avoids, sits with people no one trusts, and starts something in them that doesn’t fit into their old life. From Mark 2:13-22.

Our Deepest Need

In a surprising encounter, Jesus confronts the gap between what we most want and what we most need and how He alone has the authority to satisfy both. From Mark 2:1-12.
