Living for Jesus

“When you trust in Jesus, you begin to live a brand new life.”

ABOUT THIS MESSAGE

Everybody has experienced a major, life-altering event that neatly separates who they were from who they are now. According to the Bible, baptism functions this way for Christians by marking their conversion experience. In baptism we publicly confess our faith in Jesus and symbolize our union with him in his death and resurrection. Because we are in him, we are dead to the old way of living and alive to God in Christ!

A New Life is Possible | Pastor Brad Mills | CBC Luling

“The biggest threat to the church's kingdom work is not found outside it but within."

In this passage, Jesus warns his followers of the danger of becoming distracted by all the wrong things and overlooking the true dangers to their kingdom mission. Any follower who hopes to make a difference in the world must be in tune to these hidden threats!

ABOUT THIS MESSAGE

Christians claim that Jesus is the King of kings and Lord of lords, and they look and pray for the coming of his kingdom on earth as in heaven. Yet every year that goes by, the world seems to grow worse and worse and drifts farther away from God. Are the people of God naïve or foolish for hoping for a kingdom we can't see? During this series through Mark's Gospel, we will see that God's kingdom is coming and is already here, but it is hidden by the same suffering and humility that characterized Jesus's life.

The Hidden Threat to the Kingdom | Pastor Brad Mills | CBC Luling

“The greatness of the kingdom is revealed in sacrificial service.”

Jesus's first disciples had attitudes and values shaped by their culture, especially when it came to what makes a person important or "great." In this passage, Jesus recalibrated their understanding to enable them to carry out the mission he had called them to fulfill

The Hidden Greatness of the Kingdom | Pastor Brad Mills | CBC Luling

“When we trust in Jesus we can face spiritual conflict with kingdom power."

Christians are often confused about the role or reality of spiritual warfare. They ask, "Are demons real? Do they still possess people? Do they influence the events of our world?" In today's passage we will find the answer and see how following Jesus enables us to face spiritual conflict with kingdom power.

Hidden Power Revealed | Pastor Brad Mills | CBC Luling

“Even when we can’t see it or understand it, God is building his kingdom.”

God often conceals or hides away his work in the world so he can unveil it to his people with dramatic effect. In this passage, we see how God revealed the true glory of Jesus to an inner circle of disciples.

“Though the world hates us, followers of Jesus must bring his hope to the world.”

ABOUT THIS MESSAGE

Life in our broken world is messy. Amid the joy of memories made with family and friends and personal accomplishments, there's a lingering threat of disappointment, disaster, and even death. Some people attempt to insulate themselves from the "worst case scenario" by pursuing wealth and power. Others try to forget it by pursuing pleasure and living it up while they still can. But Jesus offers another way, a way that acknowledges our brokenness and provides a way out of it. This "Way of Hope" is available to anyone who knows and follows him.
