We discuss Mark 4 to learn how Jesus instructed his first followers to begin growing in Him. We'll discuss the importance of transformational learning and the scriptures as a foundation for our growth.

We discuss the meaning of baptism and why it is such an imperative step for our decision to follow Jesus and participate in His saving mission to the world. 

We take time to respond to the events of the past few weeks through a special Service of Prayer and Seeking. We take some time to pray for the Kirk family, our nation's young adults, our divisions as a country, and our response as God's followers.

We also take time to seek God's Word for spiritual guidance and perspective on how to respond to the hard situations of recent events and the spiritual questions they prompt.

From Jesus' first appointment of His twelve apostles, we discuss God's heart in connecting His followers to Him and one another and why it is still imperative for believers today to intentionally seek the right kind of community in their journeys with Christ.

In this episode, we take a look at the calling of Levi. We focus on Mark 2 as we look at how Jesus' unique way of calling the imperfect signals the kind of journey ahead for those who respond to the invitation to follow.

Join us as we take a closer look at the Gospel of Mark to see what the journey of discipleship looks like through the eyes of Jesus' first 12 followers. Through their own journey with Christ, we will see what it means to walk with Christ through life-long faith and mission today.

We conclude our study on Sabbath by reviewing what we've learned and gaining Biblical insights into how to apply these concepts in transforming ways. As the apostle James reminds us, we should be doers of the Word and not hearers only! 

Pastor Joshua Strader  discusses how God intended Sabbath to be a day of communion with Him. Believers have been united around common practices that transform Sabbath from an ordinary day to an extraordinary opportunity to commune with our Creator.

Join in as we rediscover the power of worship and connection to God as our deepest connection to true rest and renewal.

We take a deeper look at one of the often overlook dimensions of Sabbath's many blessings--the gift of community. Many of the scriptures from the Old and New Testaments share about how God's people have used the Sabbath as an occasion to build spiritual friendship and community. 

During a day and age when people have never felt more disconnected, Sabbath invites us to break from the hurried patterns of the world to take advantage of regular opportunities to connect with God and one another. Listen in as we rediscover how community might be a missing element in experiencing God's rest in Sabbath.

Pastor Joshua Strader takes a fresh look at how the scriptures and practices of other Christians around the world give us new insight and excitement to explore the joy in establishing a Sabbath routine.
