A Different Kind of Revolution

A Different Kind of Revolution

The Book of Mark: Part 12 - July 5, 2026 We conclude our journey through Mark by exploring the surprising nature of God's Kingdom. While the world pursues power, success, and recognition, Jesus invites us into a revolution marked by humility, sacrifice, and love. His arrest in the Garden of Gethsemane demonstrates that God's greatest victories are often accomplished through surrender rather than force. This message challenges us to examine which kingdom shapes our daily choices and values. As followers of Christ, we're called to live differently, trusting the Holy Spirit to help us reflect the character of our King in every area of life.

Pray, Obey, and Away We Go!

The Book of Mark: Part 12 - July 5, 2026 Rich Nye takes us to the Garden of Gethsemane, where we see both the humanity and perfect obedience of Jesus. As He faced the cross, Jesus responded with honest prayer, complete surrender to the Father's will, and unwavering faith. This message reminds us that prayer isn't an escape from hardship—it prepares us to walk through it. We're challenged to stay spiritually awake, trust God's plan, and depend on His strength rather than our own. When life becomes difficult, Jesus gives us the pattern to follow: pray, obey, and then move forward in faith.

Flipping The Script

The Book of Mark: Part 10 - June 21, 2026 We see Jesus enter Jerusalem as King, but not in the way the crowds expected. While the people hoped for political victory and immediate change, Jesus came to bring a deeper salvation. His cleansing of the temple revealed God's desire for a place where all people could encounter Him without barriers. The message challenges us to examine the narratives we create about Jesus and whether they truly align with who He is. Following Christ often means allowing Him to overturn assumptions, priorities, and attitudes in our own lives. Ultimately, discipleship begins when we embrace His story instead of insisting on our own.

A Shocking Encounter

The Book of Mark: Part 9 - June 14, 2026 We explore Jesus' conversation with the rich young ruler—a man who seemed to have everything, yet still felt something was missing. His sincere question about eternal life reveals a common misunderstanding that salvation can be earned through good behavior. Jesus lovingly exposes the one thing standing between the man and true freedom: his misplaced trust in wealth and security. Through this encounter, we learn that following Jesus requires surrender, not just morality. The message reminds us that salvation is only possible through God's grace, not our achievements. Ultimately, it challenges us to consider whether anything in our lives is competing with Jesus for first place.

Calming The Storm

Special Guest Speaker: Pastor Mike Chong Perkinson - June 7, 2026 Special guest speaker Pastor Mike Chong Perkinson reminds us that faith is not the absence of fear, but the decision to keep our eyes on God in the middle of life's storms. Looking at King Jehoshaphat's response to overwhelming circumstances in 2 Chronicles 20, we learn the importance of praising God, remembering His faithfulness, and trusting Him when we don't know what to do. Pastor Mike challenges believers to stop focusing on the size of their problems and start focusing on the greatness of God. Through powerful personal stories and biblical truth, he encourages us to remove the armor of self-reliance and fully surrender to God's strength. Even when life feels uncertain, God remains faithful. When we trust Him, we can find peace in the storm and courage to move forward in faith.
