Mark: Jesus & The Storm

Mark: A New Heart

We've all spent time managing what others can see—or making honest attempts at a fresh start. But Jesus says our deepest problem isn't around us. It's within us. In an encounter with the Pharisees, he exposes the limits of religion and self-improvement, inviting us into the kind of transformation that begins with a new heart. From Mark 7:1–23.

Mark: Jesus and Tragedy

Some tragedies are obvious. Others happen quietly in the human heart. Through the lives of Herod and John the Baptist, Mark 6 invites us to consider the difference between admiring Jesus and surrendering to him—and the difference between saving face and finding the kingdom.

Mark: A Spirit of Unbelief

When Jesus returns to Nazareth, He is met not with faith but with cynicism. The people most familiar with Him are unable to receive Him for who He truly is and miss what God wants to do among them. In the same way, unbelief can keep us from experiencing the fullness of God's work in our lives. From Mark 6:1–6.

Mark: Jesus & Waiting

What happens when we need God to act now, but He seems delayed? Through Jairus and the bleeding woman, Jesus shows that His timing is not a sign of indifference, but of love. He cares about every need we bring Him, but is most committed to addressing our deepest need. From Mark 5:21–43

Mark: Jesus & The Storm

Caught in a storm, the disciples question whether Jesus cares that they are perishing. But when He speaks and even the wind and sea obey Him, they begin asking the question at the center of Mark’s Gospel: “Who then is this?” From Mark 4:35-41.
