Jesus often taught in parables or visual illustrations. In this message, Pastor Jim helps us see the meaning behind Jesus’ words on fasting from Mark 2:18-22. Together we learn how in Jesus there is good news and mercy for all who believe.

When Jesus says he’s come not for the healthy but the sick, what did he mean? This message shares who Jesus identifies as the sick, who serves as the doctor and how we as the church fit into His plan of healing.

The Bible is full of healing stories, leading us to wonder do miraculous healings still happen today? If so, why doesn't everyone get healed? Pastor Jim teaches from Mark 2 as we examine those questions and how Jesus’ concern for our spiritual well-being directs His actions.

In this message, Pastor Jim explains what drives Jesus’ ministry. We look at the heart of Jesus and how compassion not only changes us but also those we interact with.

This message is an encouragement to model our prayer lives after the example we see in Jesus. Just as He got away early in the morning to realign His life with the mission of God in prayer, we too should start our days seeking after Him.
