John 15:9-13 (Ronnie Cordrey, Sam Reader, Chris Burke)

Jesus moves out of the realm of metaphor and brings to the forefront His perfect love for us. Again, Jesus uses few words to portray the weighty realities of His commitment to us evidenced by His sacrifice for us, our love for Him expressed in our obedience to Him, and His eternal, unshakeable joy becoming our own everlasting joy. This week we’ll look at what it means to know, love, and trust Jesus, as well as how to love others like Him.

John 15:5-8 (Mason Bramer, Sam Reader, Chris Burke)

Jesus reiterates much of what was discussed in last week’s passage, but these verses highlight the realities of judgment, prayer, identity, and glory. This week we’ll look with a practical lens at what it means to abide in Christ, and for Christ to abide in you.

John 15:1-4 (Mason Bramer, Sam Reader, Chris Burke)

While speaking to His disciples, Jesus uses a metaphor to help them understand who He is (the True Vine), who His Father is (the Gardener), and who we are in relation to them (the branches). While simple, Jesus’ words here are also profound, as they give purpose to humanity, meaning to suffering, and clarity to who Jesus claims to be.

Galatians 6:1-10 (Mason Bramer & Sam Reader)

As Paul concludes his writing to the churches in Galatia, we see God’s will for the people of God to bear one another’s burdens. Yet, this is more than a platitude. God exhorts His people to do good together, as well as to do good for one another. This week, we will learn about both what and who God has called us to!

Galatians 5:16-25 (Kurt Sauder & Chad Russell)

After declaring that we are sons of God, Paul goes on to write about the freedom in which Christians are able to live. While some are tempted to return from their liberty into bondage, and others are tempted to turn their liberty into license, the Bible is clear that we fight these temptations by walking with the Holy Spirit. This passage reveals the conflict between our flesh and the Spirit, and reveals the way to victory.

Galatians 3:23-4:7 (Matt Raegan)

Further imprinting what true Christian identity is, Paul declares to believers that, "in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God, through faith" (Galatians 3:26 ESV). So, this week we'll explore the realities of being a son of God the Father.

Galatians 2:15-21 (Ben Cross)

After reminding the Galatians of his authority as an Apostle, Paul dives right into the issue at hand. In Galatia, there were leaders claiming that to be a Christian, one must add to their faith in Christ specific religious adherence to the Law.  Their equation was "Jesus + works = earning God's love."  Paul corrects this view, reminding them that we are justified by faith in Christ.

Mark 15:21-39 (Mark Scott)

Finally, it seems the story of Jesus of Nazareth has come to an end, as He is crucified by the Romans outside of Jerusalem. The details of His last moments reveal the excruciating agony and abandonment He endured. Yet, a torn curtain in the Temple and a proclamation by a Roman soldier that surely Jesus was the Son of God uncover that this supposed ending is truly only the beginning.

Mark 14:32-42 (Mason Bramer)

Jesus, aware of His impending arrest and murder, comes before the Father in the Garden of Gethsemane. He prays to God, asking if there could be any other way to restore the relationship between man and God, but submits Himself to obeying the Father, trusting it is for the ultimate good.

Recorded February 2020. 

Mark 9:33-37 (Tim Hester)

After an argument amongst the disciples regarding "who was the greatest," Jesus places a child before them. He states that in the Kingdom of God the first are those who place themselves last as servants of others, particularly serving those of lowly status.
