Today, we're in Mark 4:26-29. It's the parable of the seed growing and it's found only in the gospel of Mark. It’s just a few verses, but as I thought through Jesus’ words, I found them to be packed with insight. Especially, for those of us in ministry. And if you’re a follower of Jesus Christ, then guess what? You’re in ministry.

In the middle of Mark chapter 4 we come to our second parable. Two little verses easy to skip over but in doing so we would miss both the challenge and the treasure of Christ’s words. “Is a lamp brought in to be put under a basket, or under a bed, and not on a stand?” I absolutely loved digging into these verses and I think you will too.

We're back in Mark this week and I don't know about you but I'm ready to dig in! Today we're chapter 4 which begins a series of four parables. And let me just tell you, I learned so much by diving into this story. In farming the soil is of upmost importance for a good crop to grow. And surprise, surprise, it’s the same way when it comes to the gospel and the receiving of the truths of Christ.

Job’s friend Elihu says in Job 36:26, “Behold, God is great, and we know him not.” Meaning His ways are beyond our comprehension and yet is He unknowable? No. In fact God has made himself known in great detail by the Christmas story alone.

It's week two of our advent series and today we're asking another question. Is God actually faithful? It's a question (I think) that looms in the hearts of many, though few vocalize it. But God has not left the question unanswered. Especially when we peer deeper into the details of the Christmas story.

We’re taking a few weeks off from out study of Mark because it’s Advent time and I firmly believe we’d be doing a disservice to both our faith and our God to ignore it. Christmas is not about the gifts or the giving or the food or even family—it’s about a God who came anyway. A God who cares. A God whose given us answers to some of life’s deepest questions through the gift of His precious Son.

The passage we’re looking at in Mark today (Mark 3:22-30) is one that is easily and often misunderstood. What did Jesus mean when he said “whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin.” I mean, that’s kind of a harsh statement, right? Did he mean there’s a sin we as believers can commit that will never be forgiven? Nope, not at all.

Happy Thanksgiving! We're suspending our study of Mark this week to discuss the topic of thankfulness. I know, not always fun and yet we can't ignore that the Bible says to be thankful all the time. But what does that look like and why is God so set on thankfulness? Because the benefits far out way the difficulty of trying. In today's talk we discuss 15 specific benefits, but I know there's more. Because with Jesus, just as the sign in my living room says, there is always, always, always something to be thankful for.

We're in Mark 3:7-21 today and it's clear to me from this passage that the pressures Jesus faced were coming at him from multiple venues. Had it been me, I would have caved, but Christ didn't. How? Well, that's what we're going to talk about. So if you're ready, because I know I'm ready, let's dig a little deeper.

Mark 3:1-6 A man with a withered hand and our compassionate God. We've made it through two chapters of Mark and I'm stoked to get started on the third, but as I look back over where we've come, I can definitely see an emerging theme.
