As we look into the last moments of the ministry of Jesus, we are reminded how He knows the depth of the human condition. As the weight of sin's history is placed on him, He cries out to the Father, and even the Roman centurion is moved. Are we living our lives to show outsiders the perfection and love of the Father, as well?

As we look into the first part of Mark 14, Pastor Ben challenges us to look at our hearts when we give. We might not steal directly from a ministry, but do we hold on to our time, talent, and treasure when God is calling us to be more generous?

As we go through the thirteenth chapter of Mark, Pastor Doug takes us through the choices we make as we apply faith to the circumstances around us.

As Pastor Doug takes us through Mark 12, we see Jesus's parable describing the world's response toward stewardship instead of ownership.

As Jesus enters Jerusalem, He first goes to the Temple to see its condition. Similarly today, He wants to see the condition of our hearts. Will we allow Christ to overturn tables in our lives so we can live in His will, or will we look for a way to push Him out?

God's plan for our lives may often seem complicated, and following His will can frequently seem to be just as daunting of a task. This week, Josh Knipple teaches us that getting back to the simplicity of taking one step at a time can be a key to avoid becoming overwhelmed.

Many times in life, we can find ourselves in a position where we want to skip some of the steps that God has planned for us. This week, Pastor Doug takes us through Mark 9, and how Jesus needed to continually tell the disciples that we need to go through certain stages in our walks with Him in order to get to where we should be.

This week, Pastor Doug takes us through the eighth chapter of Mark, and explains to us the dangers of looking at our circumstances from an earthly and temporal point of view, instead of a holy and eternal perspective.

Pastor Doug shows us that Jesus spoke mainly to three groups of people - the large crowd that followed Him, the day’s religious leaders, and His disciples. As we look into the seventh chapter of Mark, we see Jesus’s scolding the religious leaders for putting importance on tradition instead of seeking the Father with their hearts.
