Calvary Chapel Haven

Pastor Jonathan Talley teaches Mark 3:7 to 35 and asks who is simply near Jesus and who actually belongs to Him. A crowd presses in for healing, twelve men are called to be with Him, His own family tries to take charge of Him, and scribes accuse Him of working for the devil. Then Jesus looks at the people sitting around Him and names them His family.

Paul walks out of Athens with little to show for it and into Corinth, one of the roughest cities in the Roman world. In Acts 18:1 to 22, Luke gives us eighteen months of what God does with a man who stays: a couple at a workbench and a promise spoken in the night. A message from Pastor Jonathan Talley at Haven.

Pastor Jonathan Talley continues through the gospel of Mark with a message from Mark 2:13 to 3:6. Jesus eats with sinners, compares Himself to a bridegroom, and declares that He has come to bring something new. But as His mercy reaches further, the opposition grows, until it ends in a plot to kill Him. A message about what mercy costs, both for the ones who receive it and for the One who gives it.

Pastor Jonathan Talley teaches through Acts 17, where Paul brings one message to three cities and finds three very different responses. What do we do with the Word of God once we've heard it?

Pastor Jonathan Talley looks at Mark 2:1 through 12, the story of four friends who tear through a roof to bring their paralyzed friend to Jesus.

But before Jesus heals the man's body, He does something nobody expected: He forgives his sins. In this message, we see what Jesus sees in the friends who carried him, the man on the mat, and the critics watching from the sidelines, and we're challenged to ask who we've been carrying, and whether we're ready to rise.

Pastor Jonathan Talley teaches through Acts 16, where Paul's plans fall apart, doors close, and he ends up beaten and in prison in a city he never meant to visit. This message is about what it looks like to stay faithful in the middle, after God has called you but before you see how it turns out, through the stories of Timothy, Lydia, and a Philippian jailer.

Pastor Jonathan continues through the Gospel of Mark as we look at Jesus in the wilderness, His call to ordinary people, His authority over sickness and demons, and His compassion for those who are hurting. Mark 1 shows us what it actually looks like to follow Jesus when He calls us to trust His Word, surrender our lives, and follow where He leads.

Pastor Jonathan teaches through Acts 15 and the difficult moments that arise when Christians disagree. From defending the gospel of grace to pursuing unity in the church and navigating the sharp disagreement between Paul and Barnabas, Acts 15 reminds us that not every disagreement deserves a division. We need to know what is worth standing firm on, what we can hold loosely, and how to keep our eyes on Jesus and the mission He has given us.

Pastor Jonathan begins our journey through the Gospel of Mark with a look at Mark 1:1–11 and the arrival of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Before we look at what Jesus does, we are invited to see who He is: the promised King, the beloved Son, and the Lord who calls us to repentance and surrender. As we begin this new church together, we are challenged to ask whether the arrival of the King has truly changed the way we live.

Pastor Jonathan walks through Acts 14 and challenges us with a simple question: What would make you quit? Paul and Barnabas faced opposition, temptation, suffering, and even persecution, yet they continued in the mission God had given them. As we follow Jesus, we’re reminded that obedience will come at a cost, but the gospel is worth it, the mission is worth it, and Jesus is worth following.
