That Wasn’t Listed in the Job Posting

This week, we continue our series walking through the Gospel of Mark. Jesus continues teaching in parables, and this time it is about a farmer watching things grow. It reminds us that we are not the ones responsible for anyone’s salvation—that’s God’s job. Our Job is to love people and provides safe spaces where they can see the love of God. Our main passages this week are Mark 4:26-29.

Choose Your Own Adventure

This week, we continue our series walking through the Gospel of Mark. Jesus tells the people that they will be judged in the exact same way we judge people. In essence, Jesus is saying that however we display God to others, is the God we will get in return. How does the way we portray and represent God impact how others see God? Our main passages this week are Mark 4:21-26.

The Story of Huldah

Tonight, we continue our Thursday night series ‘Women of the Bible’, by examining the story of Huldah. We examine questions of faith and repentance and how this Prophet from Judah reminded the king and all of us what it means to love God.

All in the Family

This week, we continue our series walking through the Gospel of Mark. We look at a section where Jesus is confronted by his family. We will look at what does Jesus mean by family? What does family look like? We see just how important it can be to have a spiritual family and how we as the church can live into that model of living. Our main passages this week are Mark 3:31-35.

How to Burgel a House

This week, we continue our series walking through the Gospel of Mark. We look at a section where Jesus is confronted by both his family and religious leaders. Jesus invokes the cultural memory of civil war to ask the people if they think he is of God or of Satan. We examine just what the ‘unforgivable sin’ is and what it shows us about God. Our main passages this week are Mark 3:20-30.
