ON NOVEMBER 24: Do Not Be Afraid (Mark 16:1-8) with Pastor Patrick Edwards, PhD.

HERE'S THE DEAL: Why was the tomb empty? All who hear the story of Jesus must offer an answer, and yet Jesus Himself has already told us. Only by revisiting His Words can we leave our old lives behind and faithfully follow him.

ON NOVEMBER 17: Enthroned (Mark 15:1-47) with Pastor Patrick Edwards, PhD.

HERE'S THE DEAL: In the climax of his story, Mark shows us the most shocking thing yet about Jesus: How with the empire's very own instrument of death and shame, Jesus secures the victory of God over sin and evil demonstrating He is the true King.

SMALL GROUPS: Be sure to participate in a Bible study this Sunday at 9:30 or 11:00. Remember that life change happens in small groups, being in circles rather than rows. kgbc.us/groups

ON NOVEMBER 10: The Cup (Mark 14:1-72) with Pastor Patrick Edwards, PhD.

HERE'S THE DEAL: It's easy to look back at someone's failure and say, "Oh, if I had been there..." We'd all like to think that if we had been by Jesus' side for three years we would have listened to Him and remained faithful. But as we near the climax of Mark's Gospel we find that only Jesus alone was able to fulfill the mission of God.

On November 3, Patrick looks at the end times section of Mark, that while we will all face hardship in life, our hope is in the promise of His glorious Kingdom.

ON OCTOBER 27: Why Should We Consider Jesus? (Mark 11:27-12:44) with Pastor Scott Chafee.

HERE'S THE DEAL: People need real reasons to have faith in Jesus, it’s not about just taking a leap of blind faith. There are some good reasons to consider Jesus. In this section in Mark, Jesus addresses his spiritual authority, tells a story of God’s sovereignty and our stewardship, re-emphasizes our kingdom citizenship, addresses an issue of the distorted theology, clarifies the great commandment, affirms his deity, warns those who call themselves religious leaders, and concludes with an example of godly giving.

ON OCTOBER 20: What Do We Want From Jesus?  (Mark 10:32-11:25). Pastor Patrick Edwards, PhD.

HERE'S THE DEAL: in times of hardship of just dreaming about our futures, we can find ourselves unintentionally viewing Jesus as  some magical genie there to grant us three wishes. But the road to  Jerusalem (and ultimately Calvary) requires us to pause on Who the King is and what His Kingdom really offers and asks of us.

On October 13, the message is called, "Where the Rubber Meets the Road" from Mark 8:27-10:31 – Pastor Patrick Edwards, PhD

It’s one thing to say we are a Christian, but following Jesus is a life of faith, constantly dying to oneself and one’s way of thinking. In the glory of Jesus’ transfiguration, we see the cost of discipleship and begin to see what it looks like in the Christian life for the rubber to meet the road.

“The Real Feeding Miracle” – Mark 6:6b-8:26 – Pastor Patrick Edwards, PhD

Just as our bodies hunger and thirst for nourishment, so too our souls pant for sustenance and safety. Mark shows us this week how everything in this world will fail us, which is why Jesus brings His Kingdom and meets us saying, “I Am. Don’t be afraid.”

On September 29, join us for Sunday worship service at 9:30 or 11:00 AM. Patrick Edwards will continuing his teaching series called WHO THEN IS THIS? with a message called, "Who Then is This?" from Mark 4:35-6:6a.

HERE'S THE DEAL: It can be human nature to lower our expectations to avoid disappointment, but with Jesus we see in our passage that our expectations for His Kingship aren’t high enough! He intends to do above and beyond all we could ask for or think of.

On September 22, join us for Sunday worship service at 9:30 or 11:00 AM. Patrick Edwards will continuing his teaching series called WHO THEN IS THIS? with a message called, "Real Family" from Mark 3:7-4:34.

HERE'S THE DEAL: Many things can unite or divide us into groups and communities. But with Jesus there is only one factor: Him! As He builds His family in ways totally unexpected, we are each challenged with one question, "Will we believe and follow Him or not?".
