“I know who you are” A study through the book of Mark
The Temptation of Jesus
Mark 1:12-13
Mark’s Gospel is fast paced. In the next few verses, he uses the word immediately 7 times. This week Mark quickly makes the transition from Jesus’ baptism to His temptation by satan in the wilderness. Why is the temptation of Jesus so important to our faith? How did satan try to tempt Jesus? Is there any way that we can resist temptation the same way Jesus did? Join us this Sunday as we look at all of those and more.

“I know who you are”  A study through the book of Mark

The Beginning of the Good News!

Mark 1:1-11

This week we begin to look at the life of Jesus through theeyes of a man named Mark, sometimes called John Mark. We will go verse by verse and chapter by chapter through the whole Gospel.  Mark’s gospel hits the ground running and does not stop.  Mark 1:1 says The beginning of the good news about Jesus the Messiah, the Son of God. I love the way Mark does this.  He just drops the truth.  This is who Jesus is.  He is the Messiah, God’s anointed one.  The chosen one of God.  The Son of God.    Everything else that Mark goes on to write is in support of this opening statement.

“I know who you are”  A study through the book of Mark

 Who was Mark?

This week we begin to look at the life of Jesus through theeyes of a man named Mark, sometimes called John Mark. We will go verse by verse and chapter by chapter through the whole Gospel.  Mark’s gospel hits the ground running and does not stop.  Mark might have the most interesting story of the Gospel writers.  Honestly, it is amazing that it was ever written at all.  Would you like to know who Jesus truly is?  What He really did?  What He actually taught? Why He loves you so much and how He proved it?

Views of The Cross

The Soldiers and the Thieves

We are in a series called “Views of the Cross”.  This week we will focus on the people who were the closest to the actual cross of Jesus.  The Roman soldiers and the thieves who hung next to Jesus.    To the Romans, this was just a job.  To the thieves, it was a punishment for their crimes.  But how did they view Jesus?  Forsome of those closest to the cross, there was a drastic change that day.  And there can be for you as well.

Views of The Cross

The Romans

This Sunday, we start a 4-week series called “Views of the Cross”.  In the weeks to come, we are going to look at the people who were there that day.  Each week, we are going to get closer and closer to the cross.  From the crowds that had gathered, to the soldiers who were charged with the execution, all the way to the men who were on the crosses beside Jesus.  The final week, on Resurrection Sunday, we will look at how Jesus viewed the cross and of course, the final outcome 3 days later. 

Today, we look at the cross itself.  Paul tells us in 1 Corinthians 1:18

That the message of the cross is foolishness to those whoare perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.  What did the cross mean to the people duringthe time of Jesus?  This week, we will look at the views of the cross from the Roman and the Jewish perspectives.

Following God One Step Closer By Faith…
God has called us to take One Step Closer…By Faith! Praise God for all that He has done, is doing and will do in our lives and within His bride, the Church family here at Berea! We often say that God has great plans for us and He does! But don’t miss that we are living in the middle of those plans. God has a great moment for you within your life and for His church right now. And as long as we stay faithful, this moment will continue to reinvent itself each and every day that God blesses us with.
Lamentations 3:22-23 (ESV)
The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; 23 they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.

Our mission at Berea is to Love Others One Step Closer to Jesus. God has challenged us as a family to do this in many different ways. But as we continue on our mission we must remember that we are all called to follow God wherever He may lead us. We are called to follow Jesus. Which means we are called to action. We are to use the lives He has given us to play an important role and reach out to the world around us. And we would love for you to join us!

Win the Day!  Seed the Clouds

So what does it mean to seed the clouds? Honestly, I did not know that that was actually a real thing until a few years ago.  But some of the original experiments on seeding clouds were done back in the 1940’s.  At that time, they used dry ice to seed the cloud…and it worked.  Snow began to fall.

But what does it mean in our lives?

Win the Day! Wind the Clock
Eph. 5:16
Winding the clock means to recognize every moment for what it is—a gift from God” (158). How you view things determines how you do things. The challenge for us is to "wind the clock" by aligning our hearts with God's eternal purpose. Living each moment with faith, perseverance, and an awareness that our time is best redeemed in obedience to Him.
