Mark 14 The Passover feast was a reminder of how God saved Israel from Egypt. At the last supper with his disciples Jesus made this meal into communion, a reminder that God’s ultimate salvation was made possible through Jesus death for us.

Mark 9-13 As Jesus begins his movement towards Jerusalem and the cross it becomes more and more evident that people have only two choices, to continue to live for what they want, or to trust him for what He wants.  What do you choose?

Mark 8:27-9:29 Jesus is the King, but he begins to describe that he is a king going to die on a cross. And what’s more he says to follow him, to be his disciple, we must die too. That’s the shock, but also the good news in order to find real life.

Mark 7:1-34, 8:27-30 Everyone carries a stain.  The way we dress, what we try to achieve, even religious activities all try to deal with or cover that stain.  Jesus came to bring news that He is one who meets the need, who can clean the stain.

Mark 4:1-34 Jesus told stories about God’s kingdom, what He is able to do in our lives if we let him.  Today we’ll look at those stories.

Mark 1-2 The stories of Jesus’ teaching and healing showed that he had authority and power. He is the rest that we are looking for in life, inviting us back into a relationship, the dance, with God.

Mark 1:1-13 God created life to be a loving and joyful relationship with him, like a dance.  But life is often a battle, with temptation and the fall-out of leaving the dance with God.  Jesus, the King, came to show us the steps back into to the dance!

Matthew 28:19-20 Today we are looking at what it means to be a part of God’s mission to the Japanese and Okinawans that we live around.

What does it look like to make disciples like Jesus says?

Matthew 3:13-4:22 Jesus came not to invite people to a religion, but a relationship.  He invited people to become his disciples, and told his followers to make disciples. What does it look like to be a disciple? A disciple is someone who learns from Jesus how to live their life like Jesus would.
