Jesus enters Jerusalem on a donkey, not the majestic rollout that is usually afforded a ruler. This week we will see that Jesus must patiently and firmly deal with a  contentious religious leadership team that opposes Him, and the disciples continually missing the mark.

From chapters 8-10 we see a literal and figurative shift in Jesus' ministry toward Jerusalem. Jesus will heal two men who are blind, His 3 predictions that He will die, the disciples being spiritually blind to His message. How do all of these issues tie together?

Jesus is not just interested in the salvation of the Jewish nation. The gospel He preaches is for all. This week Bill will lead us as we look at Jesus' ministry to the Gentiles in Galilee.

In Mark 3-6, we find Jesus' message challenges his family, the religious leaders, and the crowds following Him. What is the secret that Jesus carries, that can give hope to the world?

This week we look at the opportunity that Jesus gives to the early disciples, and eventually to us to participate in the sharing of the Gospel of Jesus. This calling is one that should not be taken lightly, but will transform our life.

From Jacob and Esau, Edom has been at odds with Israel. God sees this conflict, and warns Edom to change its ways, and that God has not forgotten how Edom has treated their kin. God will restore Israel to Better Than New.

For our third and final sermon on the book of Joel Bill will discuss how God is faithful and truly desires to bless God's people and bring into accountability those who have wronged them. He will make things Better Than New, if we allow him.

For our second sermon our Better Than New series, we look to the second chapter of Joel where we discover that God is calling the people to repentance, but God is also a God of plenty, and the promise of the Spirit.

The Wake Up Call

This week we begin a new series focusing on some of the minor prophets titled Better Than New! Specifically, we'll be looking at Joel and Obadiah. To begin our series, we'll be studying the first chapter of Joel, where God sends a mighty wake-up call to God's people.

For many years, followers of Jesus have been waiting for Jesus to triumphantly return to gather His faithful believers. Yet with this long waiting period, some of have grown weary and question…will Jesus return? This week we'll look to the Bible and be reminded of the promise of our Savior's return.
